ENCLOSURES:
As Chairman of the Public Facilities Committee, I am very concerned about the situation
in the Miami Marine Stadium and the surrounding areas. I understand that there are
possible plans for major projects regarding that area, however my concern is an
immediate one. At the City Commission meeting on May 12, 1998, I intend to bring
forth a discussion item in regards to the immediate possibilities of cleaning and
maintaining the parking lot and adjacent areas. Prior to that, I would like to share some
ideas with you.
1) We need some definite cleaning in the area, before the summer season (the middle of
June)
2) This could be achieved with city resources, volunteers, and/or the private industry.
3) The West lot (currently an eyesore) could be used to start a marine flea market on
Saturdays and Sundays (there is a huge militant boating community in our area that
would like to visit the site).
The city could charge a minimal fee to the vendors, and use the money to maintain the
area. Food, soft drinks, and even music could be included. The city will not be liable,
although the stadium has been condemned since 1992, because all activities will be held
in the parking lots and the adjacent lot. At the meeting on May 12th, I will provide
pictures for the members of the City Commission. At your convenience, I would like to
visit this location with you or Mr. Joe Pinon, to explain my ideas.
