source - ARON KAY <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> NY POST - December 5, 2001 RUDY OUT TO MAKE IT HIS FUND by David Seifman and Maggie Haberman Mayor Giuliani is moving to convert the city's Twin Towers Fund into a private charity he'll control even after leaving office, sources told The Post yesterday. Mayoral aides have asked state Attorney General Eliot Spitzer about speeding up the process so it can be finished before Giuliani's term ends on Dec. 31, the sources said. Fund officials said the plan was always to transfer the assets to a charity with Giuliani at the helm. One source said the administration is "trying to do this quickly. But it's tough to fast-track something like this. It usually takes months." "The question is: What does [Mayor-elect Mike] Bloomberg think? Is this what Bloomberg wants to do?" the source added. A Bloomberg spokesman declined comment. Another source said that Giuliani's team doesn't anticipate any problems with Bloomberg over the transfer, and that the process will go quickly. The move won't affect the families of firefighters, cops and other uniformed personnel who perished in the Sept. 11 attacks on the World Trade Center. The fund has raised $113 million and distributed $46.7 million so far to 389 families. Creating a private charity would remove control from the city's Public-Private Initiatives, whose board is appointed by the mayor. If the changeover doesn't happen before Jan. 1, Bloomberg could replace Giuliani's appointees with his own. Twin Towers Fund spokeswoman Kim Serafin said the charity was created with the intent that "Mayor Giuliani, in the future as Citizen Giuliani, would be in charge of this to make sure" all the money is handled properly and goes to the families of the 406 fallen heroes. Spitzer spokesman Darren Dopp declined comment. Giuliani's aides have already established a tax-exempt group to which the funds would be moved, but the process entails petitioning the state Supreme Court and must be reviewed by Spitzer. Giuliani, who created the Twin Towers Fund, will serve as chairman of the board that will run the tax-exempt charity. A source said the transfer would have been completed by now if the administration hadn't been busy with other major events, such as the Flight 587 crash.
