Dear Ms. Peine,
As per our conversation today with you and the police department the following is as per
requested.
l
Lloyd Daluge is my father and recently has had open-heart surgery. Veins were taken
from his leg that was needed for his heart. The leg did not heal properly and therefore he
is now an amputee. You probably can imagine how loosing a leg can affect your life.
We live on 19202 Dodge Street ... we needed a secure way to get Dad up the hill and the
only thing we came up with was a golf cart that had enough power to make the hill.
Also, dad needs a way to get groceries etc. so we are asking to run on the street where we
live and the surrounding area to get his needs met.
We have equipped the golf cart with running lights, flashing lights on the back, slow
moving vehicle sign on the back and a strobe light on the top to make sure he will be
seen. The cart will not go on any major highways and probably will be used very little.
(I will take the cart out myself to see where it can go and where it should not be.)
Thank you, for your time and we appreciate your help.
Sincerely,
C}u W~
