Dear Sir:
Enclosed is the application for renewal of the permit for the First United Methodist Church continued use of sub-sidewalk space, which requires the Alderman's approval and signature.
Please reintroduce the ordinance to waive.this very substantial permit fee since the sub-sidewalk, area is used by the church for charitable purposes including the Theatre of Reconciliation, a kitchen used to feed the homeless, Sunday school classes, church meetings and storage space. We greatly appreciate all of your efforts in behalf of the Church and its many services to the Loop Community.
Also enclosed is a copy of your ordinance dated April 9, 2008 to which we find no response regarding passage or the refund request for the street closing permit fee of $16,841.19.
Yours very truly,
The Chicago Temple First United Methodist Church
