BACKGROUND: The City of Miami Department of Parks and Recreation working with residents, community associations, the NET Office and the City's Omni Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) have developed throughout the years a commitment to the needs of the area including the preservation and improvement of Margaret Pace Park as an important focal point for passive recreation and community events. The City's Department of Parks and Recreation working with the Omni Community Revitalization Agency (CRA) developed a master plan for improvements to Margaret Pace Park. The CRA engaged the firm of Bermello, Ajamil and Partners for this effort. Plans for the park include the stabilization of the shoreline, lighted baywalk, viewing pier, tennis and basketball courts, children's play area. The Florida Legislature has made funding available to municipalities for such projects under the FIND Waterways Assistance Program on a 50-50 cost share basis. The proposed public waterfront enhancement project at Margaret Pace Park (shoreline stabilization and viewing pier components) satisfies the criteria for grant funding under the FIND program, and the City's required matching share is available from the recently approved 1996 Safe Neighborhood Park Bond Referendum. i �\ hu. aJil1¢ DHW/ /AR/ms P 99- 294 �N CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: Donald H .
