Dear Aldermen:
I am writing for DePaul University to enlist your aid once more for the introduction and passage of a Blanket Ordinance waiving all fees related to various City of Chicago Departments to include Department of Environment as you were both kind enough to undertake on our behalf last year. The waiver we understand will be in force for two (2) years only, beginning March 16, 2011 , and should cover University Campuses (j^oop 2nd Ward and 42"d Ward).
For your information the University is a not-for-profit corporation chartered in the State of Illinois, whose tax exempt number is E9990-9022-07, copy of the tax exempt letter is attached. If it is at all feasible, please add to Section 1 the Department of Environment as one of the City departments.
Thank you for your assistance to DePaul University.
Sincerely,
 
Sophie Kosmala
