BACKGROUND
Pursuant to discussions with Metropolitan Dade County regarding the restructuring of the
Southeast Overtown/Park West Redevelopment Agency ("CRA!'), Commissioner Miller J.
Dawkins was designated the liaison to work in conjunction with the City Administration and the
County to effectuate such restructuring. In order to determine the viable alternatives to the
existing CRA structure, it was necessary to consult with the law firm of Holland & Knight because
of its expertise in the area of community redevleopment and to be advised as to the implications of
a restructured CRA on the City's outstanding SEO/PW bond indebtedness.
