Earth Day 1990, Miami, would like a place on the agenda of the City of Miami Commission meeting of Thursday, March 22, in order to request City funds for the expenses of holding Earth Day in Bayfront Park on April 22. Timing considerations make this an emergency item. Enclosed is a copy of the estimate of expenses for use of the Bayfront Park Amphitheater for Earth Day, which total S.5000. We are asking the Dade County Commission to share the expenses with the City of Miami. Our request to the City, therefore, is for half of these expenses, $2500. We are also including in the mailing a copy of the Earth Day leaflet and a copy of the calendar of environmental events connected with Earth Day. We want to thank the City of Miami for officially declaring April 22 Earth Day in its meeting of February 7, 1990. We would also like the City to designate the entire month of April "Environmental Awareness Month." A copy of a resolution to this effect is enclosed. Earth Day 1990 represents a significant aspiration of the American people to begin to live in harmony with our environment and avoid the destructive consequences of environmental degradation. We look forward to working with the City in launching the "Decade of the Environment" with Earth Day 1990 Miami. Sincerely yours, r.
