ENCLOSURES
It is respectfully recommended that the Citv Commission adopt the
attached Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute
individual contracts, in a form acceptable to the City attorney,
between the Little Havana Development Authority, Inc. (LHDA) and
the Small Business Opportunity Center, Inc. (SBOC) in the amount
of sixty thousand dollars (S61),000) each from Thirteenth !13'h)
Year Community Development Block Grant Fund (CDBG) to participate
in the Commercial Facade Program.
BACKGROUND:
The Department of Community Development (DCD) has analyzed the
need to enter into a Commercial Facade Agreement with LHDA and
SBOC which are engaged in the Commercial Facade revitalization of
both sides of West Flagler Street between 11th and 12th Avenues
in a joint project with Dade County.
The project is designed to improve the appearance of the
commercial establishments along West Flagler Street in Little
Havana.
Due to the large number of participants in the project which
resulted in an estimated one hundred fifty thousand dollars
($150,000) in costs, the two (2) Little Havana community based
organizations have combined efforts and negotiated with Dade
County to fund the project. The monies requested will enable the
agencies to provide up to one hundred twenty thousand dollars
($120,000) of the total estimated coat. Dade Countv has
committed to finance the balance and monitor the project for
Davis -Bacon Guideline compliance.
This ambitious revitalization endeavor along a major Little
Havana business corridor is consistent with the neighborhood
economic development objectives of the City, therefore the
attached resolution is recommended.
