Subject: Grant of $500,000 to Black Archives Foundation by the Department of
Cultural Affairs of the State of Florida (the "Grant")
Dear Mr. Blancett:
1 Thank you for advising us that the City of Miami Community Redevelopment Agency (Miami
CRA) may transfer the use of its real property by title or by a lease for a term of forty (40) years
to qualify for a Grant from the Department of Cultural Affairs for the capital development
purposes set forth in the Grant.
I also appreciate your advise that a City or one of its governmental units, such as the Miami CRA
should use a lease agreement for transferring public property to protect the interest of the City
should the subject property no longer be used the for the purposes agreed to in the Grant.
In closing, the Miami CRA thanks the Department of Cultural Affairs for making available the
subject Grant to the Black Archives Foundation (the "Foundation").
The CRA is doing everything possible to transfer sufficient property required for the use of the
Grant by lease (at no consideration) in accordance with the Guidelines of the Cultural Affairs and
in accordance with Chapter 163.380 of the Florida Statues regarding the transfer of property of
the CRA and in accordance with the Interlocal Agreement (03-31-83) with the County that
requires approvals of the City and the County and possibly an amendment of the Redevelopment
Plan to transfer the property.
