Dear Sirs: During the H.A.A.B. public meeting of March 27, 1996 in Immokalee I was accused by Sheriff Deputy Tom Kostner. The Sheriff Deputy, while representing Collier County Sheriff Don Hunter in that public meeting, claims that I accused him of kidnapping me on November of 1993. I was called a liar by Mr. Tom Kostner because, according to him, I had accused him without reason or proof of being my abductor. I had made allegations in the H.A.A.B. meeting with regards to pOlice brutality charges found in his file.and I want to present the evidences that I found during the Valdes Probe. I hereby request the H.A.A.B. to include in it's agenda to submit all the evidences available as to what I said in that March 27, 1996 Board meeting so. that I may have the opportunity to clear my name. This concerns me greatly as the accusations were made in a public meeting wherein over forty (40) people were present. I also agree that Deputy Sheriff Tom Kostner be present at the next meeting so that he may have the right to refute these allegations as well as 1.

Allow me first to say that, it is my opinion, that this misunderstanding was only due to my strong accent in the English language and not in any way, shape or form, a bad intention on behalf of anyone on the Board. Secondly, 1 want to bring forth a few mistakes in the minutes over the statement made. They are as followl The minutes readl "He clearly stated that he won the same thirty (30) cases that he presented to the H.A.A.B. and the Collier County Commissioners against the Sheriff's office by taking those cases to Federal Court." Several cases were brought to the H.A,A.B. and to the Collier County's Board of Commissioners. No solutions or remedies wee ever found for the problems of tha community. The case of M. ROdriguez vs. Collier County Government wa. filed by Mr. ROdriguez hilMelf and wa. settled before trial. 1 took an active roll in this case as activist, but I did not represent Hr. Rodriguez, 1 am not an attorney, Other cas.s, like the case of the Gomez brothers, and others, were brought to the H.A.A.B. and nothing was ever done. still other ca..., includin9 over thirty (30) cases of eviction with the staIn of discrimination were brought to the attention of the Collier County Board of Commissioners and, at our request, the Commissioners gave them to the owners of Six L. I repre:sented those people as community :speaker, not as an attorney. I am not-an attorney. There are more examples, but they are too many for thIs letter. I want this letter, along with a newspaper Clippinq of an article about one of the cases mentioned herein to be part of the H.A.A.B. records. Thank you, ~~ tic,~;~ { 0? VICTOR A.
