Resolution Directing the
Return of Pan Am Artifacts
FIE FERPICES Commission Meeting of
November 14, 1991
PICtOSURES
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the
attached resolution authorizing and directing the City Manager to
return the Pan American. World Airways Artifacts to Pan American
World Airways representatives. Since the City no longer has the
space to store these items and is currently unable to display
them in the historical aviation museum as intended, it is
recommended that these items be returned.
BACKGROUND
The Department of Development and Housing Conservation, Property
and Lease Management Division, has had discussions with Pan
American World Airways representatives regarding the return of
the artifacts that were donated by Pan American for the proposed
historical aviation museum. Except for a short time, the City of
Miami has stored the artifacts in the 1145 N.W. 11 Street
building. Due to the vacation of personnel from this building to
the Dupont Plaza Center by the end of October, 1991, discussion
ensued with Pan American World Airways representatives to have
these valuable artifacts returned to them. The City would
thereby give up a serious liability involved in having the
artifacts remain in an empty building.
