From: Lawrence Sunderland < Sent: Saturday, March 20, 2021 8:58 AM To: Rivera, Andrew <Andrew.Rivera@austintexas.gov> Subject: Parker Lane *** External Email - Exercise Caution *** Andrew, As a member of the EROC contact team I would first like to express my support for The Methodist Church and Foundation Communities proposal. When the Methodist Church was active it housed a number of community organizations that served a real need in our neighborhood. Unfortunately they were not able to maintain that effort. Now teaming with Foundation Communities they will once again bring real value for an underserved segment of our community. Foundation Communities is already established in our neighborhood and has demonstrated a very high level of commitment and expertise to providing affordable housing and services for its residents. Secondly I oppose any efforts to delay moving this proposal forward. Those in the neighborhood who would suggest that other alternatives are possible have not shown us anything that is remotely achievable. The contact team should only respond to viable proposals. I have asked for a rational, from leadership, for promoting irrelevant proposals. I have not received a response. Larry Sunderland
