Kerdyk Withdraws From Politics

Coral Gables City Commissioner Frank Kerdyk announced Tuesday that he will not be a candidate for re-election. Kerdyk, vice mayor for the past two years of his four-year tenure, made his decision Monday night after long and careful deliberation, he said. "I've never had any political ambitions," said Kerdyk. The 44-year-old realtor cited the press of personal, civic and private business for his decision not to run. Prior to his announcement, Kerdyk had generated much feeling that he would be a candidate and might even oppose Commissioner Robert L. Searle for mayor. "I think it's time for other people to do their civic duty as I've done mine," Kerdyk said Tuesday. "It has been very interesting and educational . . . and an honor to serve" said Krdyk. The real estate broker and vi president of Leslie H. Coombes, indicated three main goals before leaving office next month. Tuesday he introduced a move to abolish the personal property tax in Coral Gables. He recently proposed the idea of hiring a professional planner to help the City solve its high ri building dilemma and backed a plan to build new alleys to service buildings paralleling Ponce de Leon Blvd.
