(B)ALLOCATE $100,000 FOR CODE COMPLIANCE AND FACADE
PROGRAM IN OVERTOWN AREA.
Mayor Clark: How about number 42?
Commissioner Plummer: I move it.
Commissioner Dawkins: Second. Now, coming back to... Why is it that each of these
businesses get seven thousand dollars ($7,000) per business, and the businesses on this page get
fourteen hundred dollars ($1,400) per building?
Commissioner Plummer: It's a different program.
Mr. Elbert Waters: Two different programs, sir.
Commissioner Dawkins: Say what?
Mr. Waters: Two different programs, sir. Item 42...
Commissioner Dawkins: What... The City of Miami is supposed to be equal.
Mr. Odio: Commissioner, Commissioner...
Commissioner Dawkins: This loan... equal opportunity loan, for the lack of a better word.
Mr. Odio: Yes, sir. What... On 42, you are giving out money for Code compliance, and that's
what they require, seven thousand dollars ($7,000).
Commissioner Dawkins: OK.
Commissioner Plummer: Mr. Dawkins.
Mr. Odio: And it's different from the commercial facade.
Commissioner Plummer: I had a discussion, and brought Mr. Benjamin completely up on that
particular program. He is very much interested in getting some of this money for the Overtown.
Commissioner Dawkins: I was just getting ready to say...
Commissioner Plummer: OK.
Commissioner Dawkins: ... that the hundred thousand dollars that you spoke of here be made
available for Code compliance, along with the facade treatment that we have.

Commissioner Plummer: Absolutely.
Commissioner Dawkins: OK?
Mr.Odio: Yes.
Vice Mayor Gort: Commissioner.
Commissioner Dawkins: Mm-hmm.
Vice Mayor Gort: I think one of the reasons this came up is because when we were going... our
inspectors were going around the different neighborhoods trying to get the people to comply, a
lot of the small businesses did not have the money to comply with the ordinance.
Commissioner Dawkins: OK. All I want is it to be equal.
Vice Mayor Gort: I agree with you.
Commissioner Dawkins: That's all I want.
Vice Mayor Gort: Yes, sir.
Commissioner Dawkins: OK? I get tired of going on 3rd Avenue, and you put some paint, you
put a window in, and you say that's facade treatment. And then you go every place else, and you
go inside the building, and when Shorty's people go out there, they look at the lights, electrical is
bad and what have you, and then they can't open. But if they make... they go out to make the
building safe, and we make the money available... See, everybody thinks that the Fire
Department goes out there because they don't like anybody. They go out there to save lives, and
to save the City of Miami money for where people get sued. OK?
Mayor Clark: All right. There's a motion and a second on that item.
Mr. Donald Benjamin: Mr. Mayor, Mr. Mayor.
Commissioner Plummer: Yes, sir.
A. Quinn Jones, III, Esq. (City Attorney): Mr. Mayor.
Mayor Clark: Cast a unanimous ballot.
