ENCLOSURWPeeting of 07/1 4/88
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission approve
the attached resolution to authorize the City Manager to accept a
proposal made by the U.S. Impression Inc. to publish a free
Economic Profile of the City of Miami/Dade County.
BACKGROUND:
The Department of Development recommends the proposal presented
by the U.S. Impressions Inc. to publish a free Economic Profile
(ERP) of the City of Miami/Dade County.
The ERP shall contain information concerning the economic,
cultural, social and governmental characteristics of the City of
Miami/Dade County. A significant portion of the ERP will be set
aside for commercial advertisement which will compensate the cost
of the project. The proposer will provide the City as many as
20,000 copies of the ERP which will be utilized to market the
City for business investments.
Although, the entire project will be paid by the proposer, a high
ranking City official (Mayor) is expected to endorse the project
by furnishing a cover letter on City letterhead. The letter will
describe the project to the business community at large, and ask
for their cooperation and assistance. The Law Department has
reviewed the proposal and has not found any discrepancy with the
City Codes.
The Department of Development previously submitted an agenda item
to seek the City Commission's approval for the proposal made by
the U.S. Impressions Inc. On June 09, 1988, the City Commission
reviewed the recommendation and requested additional information
pertaining revenues that are associated with the production of
the proposed Economic Profile (ERP) of the City of Miami/Dade
County.

According to the U.S. Impressions, Inc., 65% of all advertisement
revenues go directly into the preparation, production, and
publication of the ERP; and the remaining 35% covers the firm's
overhead expenses, salaries, taxes, and profits. Total
advertising revenues are expected to be around $200, 000-$250, 000.
U.S. Impressions Inc. plans to hire local researcher, designer,
photographer, writer, project manager, and possibly a local
printer to produce the publication.
Upon the City Commission approval, the Department of Development
will contact the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce and the Beacon
Council to seek their active participation with this project.
