The agreement is necessary to provide for management and operating services for Maximo Gomez Park, more commonly known as Domino Park. The resolution further authorizes said compensation to be paid from funds already allocated for this purpose in the Aid to Private Organization Account of the Department of Parks and Recreation F.Y. `98-'99 Budget. BACKGROUND: The Department of Parks and Recreation recommends that the City of Miami enter into an agreement in the amount of $59,075, with the Little Havana Development Authority, Inc., to continue uninterrupted management and operations services of Domino Park for a term of one (1) year with two (2) one year renewal options. This is the same funding amount provided to this organization for the past two years for these services. Maximo Gomez Park, commonly known as "Domino Park" is located in the heart of the Little Havana neighborhood, at S.W. 8' Street and S.W. 15`' Avenue. This park is very important to the residents of the Little Havana community. It is also a recognizable tourist attraction for our City. The Little Havana Development Authority, Inc, is a non-profit 501 (C)(3) organization founded in 1976 to foster and promote economic development in the City of Miami and more particularly in the area of Little Havana. In addition, to the many community activities performed by the LHDA, since 1988, it has provided the City of Miami experienced operational and management services of Domino Park. These services include managing the daily operations and maintenance of the Park, coordinating special Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission Page 2 '- community events such as Domino tournaments, distributing tourist related information, and developing and distributing one brochure promoting the park. It should be noted that the only work program element that LHDA has not been able to fully complete is the printing and distribution of a promotional brochure about the park. As requested, they did complete a draft of one and submitted it for approval. However, since this agency's funding was reduced two (2) years ago, they have not had the necessary funds to be able to pay for the costs of printing such a brochure. Attached for your review'is a draft of the budget and work program for the new contract year. DHW0AR AR/ms DRAFT THE LITTLE HAVANA DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY, INC.
