Knowing that City bid and construction processes require five (5)
months for completion, generously, LHDA has offered to manage,
supervise and conduct the renovation project on a fast -track
basis. It is their hope to complete the work prior to the Calle
Ocho Festival in March, therby showcasing the "new and improved"
facility during this international event. It is therefore
recommended they be given this opportunity via a grant agreement
containing all necessary safeguards for the protection of City
property and funds.
This is a companion item to a resolution authorizing the issuance
of a revocable permit to LHDA.

RC[ RRCNCC: Domino
Dear Mr.. Odio:
As per your suggestion, this afternoon I had a meeting at
the Planning Department of. Lite City of Miami with Architect
Jose Casanova and Arcuitect Enrique Nunez and we discussed
all the necessary details regarding Lite beautification and
the new design of Lite Domino Park under Lite management of
Little Havana Development Authority, as per the decission
taken by Lite Commission on November 19, 1907.
In order to speed up this work it will be necessary to do
Lite following:
1.- The Director of the Department of Public Works, Mr.
Donald Cather, heeds your instructions in order to
designate Arcuitect Nunez to proceed with the preliminary
drawings of Lite Domino Club located at Oth Street and 14 th
Avenue.
2.- At the same time, they recommend that Lite Chief Archi-
tect, Mr. Al.l.an .Poms, should be designated i.n order to
start this special project as a rush order in order to avoid
the red tape.
As soon as we have the preliminary drawings and the
special project clone, we will go to the Latin Quarter Review
Board at their meeting on January 6th, for approval by them
and to start doing the necessary work at the site as follows:
a.- Replacement of the existing restrooms.
b.- Building of Information Center. at Domino Club where ap-
plications for membership for Senior Citizens will be
processed.
c.- Re -paving of sidewalks damaged by the roots of existing
trees.
d.- Instal.l.ation of new 1. ghL•s al: Lhe Domino Club because
there are none at Lite present time.
e.- Mr. Casanova and Mr. Nunez agree that a new ornamental
fence should be erected at Lite Domino Club with one
entrance.

f.- The pavillions need to be replaced and the tables
in Elie pavillions should be refurbished.
3-- According Lo Mr. Casanova and Mr. Nunez, the total
cost of these projects will be approximately $75,000.
in order to open this place with a new image and beautifica-
tion before the "Cal.le 8" event that will be on March 2,
1989.
As we do not want to lose time with Elie GSA Department of.
the City of Miami or have Lo have a regular bid which would
delay the project from 3 to 6 months, we need your full
cooperation, Elie Mayor's cooperation and the Commissioner's
cooperation, to do this work with Elie Public Works Department
of the City of Miami.
Your consideration to this letter will be highly appreciated.
Sincerely,
