Members and officials of the City of Niami Development Projectsi
We the Directive of the Bay of Pigs Veterans Association
in conjunction with all of our members hereby make a formal
request to the Commission for assistance in a present and growing
problem tha affects the inmidiate future and the economy needed
to sustain our efforts in maintaining this beautyful and very
meaningful project of "La Casa de la Brigada", which represents
a unique memorial to the combined efforts of both cubans and
americans to liberate Cuba, our mother land, from the grip of
communism.
Our martirs, both cubans and americans, who participated
in this ill-fated invation, had roots in the City of Miami
and upon the release of those imprisoned our roots were still
here.Therefore, it is imperative to preserve this 61onument-Library
for posterity and with your so needed help we can fulfill our
odream, in the name of freedom and anti -communism.

It is with great regret that we are communicating our
Commission this endeavour is beyond our financial capabilities.
f
So far as your contribution is concerned we are in enormous
gratitude for what you have already done. Be more properly
saids " The citicens of this community are greatful to you for
allowing a piece of the history of Miami and Cuba to stand as
a monument in little Havana".

In our present financial situation we are unable to
accomplish our goals due to the lack of working capital
and unf orseen funds for the expantion needed to make this
Museum -Library meaningful.
Trough a feasibility study performed with our Directive
and accountants, it was clearly determined that in order to
provide the services necessary, it was innevitable to ask for
assistance from our government.
It is imperative therefore that the little assistance we
are asking be provided on the basis of upkeeping and maintenance.
Attached the Commission will fir:' an actual breakdown
of our operation budget and what is so needed for the
preservation of this pro;;ect.
Just as the Casa San Carlos is a historical place in
Key West, our Casa de le Brigada will be a landmark for
tourists, school children and local visitors.
It will be there for many years to come, but only with our
combined efforts to make her stand.

Upon being seconded by Mayor Ferre, the resolution was

AYES: Commissioner Joe Carollo

Commissioner J. L. Plummer, Jr.
Vice -Mayor Demetrio Perez, Jr.
Mayor Maurice A. Ferre
NOES: None.
ABSENT: None.
DURING ROLL CALL:
Mr. Carollo: I'm voting yes, hoping that I will get an
approval on the motion that I'm about to make. If I do not,
I want to make it clear for the record that I will be
changing my vote immediately after.
75.2 ALLOCATE $759000 TO BRIGADE 2506 BAY OF PIGS VETERANS
ASSOCIATION IN CONNECTION WITH TBEIR PROPOSED BUILDING
Mayor Ferre: The Chair now recognizes Commissioner Carollo
for the purposes of making a motion regarding the Brigade
house.
Mr. Carollo: The motion that I'm making, Mr. Mayor, is that
we approve $75,000 for the request the Brigade 2506 made to
come from the same sources as the $15,000 that we just
approved here today.
Mayor Ferre: I'll see if there is a second, and then I will
ask for an amendment of that, if I may. Is there a second?
Mr. Perez: Second.
Mayor Ferre: Mr. Carollo,. I would like to ask that you put
into the motion that it be funded from CD funds. We can do
that legally without any problems and it fits within the
Federal guidelines. Why take it out of the general budge ,
or special funds, when in effect, we can take it out of
Community Development Funds.
Mr. Carollo: Mr. Mayor, you just made a statement that all
the CD funds are used up for this year and that maybe we
won't have any for next year.
Mayor Ferre: Then I'll tell you what, if you make this
motion. That if we don't get the monies from CD funds, then
we get it from the general funds.
Mr. Carollo: Yes, but you are talking about waiting a whole
new year before we could apply and proceed.
Mayor Ferre: No, it doesn't work that way. What you can do
is you can borrow funds from, and we do it all the time,
from one category to move on a project and then refund it
when we get the CD funds. If we don't get CD funds, then it
would come from the general budget.
Mr. Carollo: I would do that as long as the $75,000 is
written at the same time that the $15,000 will be written.
Mayor Ferre: I have no problems with it -provided it passes
all the legal ramifications. In other words that it's
87-204.
87-2031
sl 137 December 13, 1984 11
non...the sane conditions as with the United Negro College;
that is a non-profit organization.
Mr. Carollo: It's not just the United Negro College. It's
the United Vay, it's cerebral palsy, it's everything else.
I bit the bullet. I went against a lot of things here
today, but then I'm seeing that at the end, we're still
playing politics and we're still voting upon one group or
another in weighing votes. I think what we have to do is go
across the line. I don't care who's asking for the money.
I mean that is a very worth while organization, United
Negro College; no question about it. But $159000 is a drop
in the bucket to their whole total organization. It's just
like what we gave to United Way is a drop in the bucket to
them.
Mayor Ferre: Commissioner Carollo, you can vote any way you
want. I can vote any way I want. I'm telling you that if
you are taking $75,000 from the taxpayers monies without
getting from the Community Development Funds first, I'll
tell you on the record, I'm voting against that. Now, I
tell you what, if we want to do it that way, I'll pass the
gavel on to the senior member here and make a substitute
motion which is on this subject, so I can make a substitute
motion. I make a substitute motion that we approve the
request of the Brigade for $75,000 provided however that it
come from CD funds, and if Cd funds are not available, that
it then come from the general fund on that basis.
Mr. Carollo: Mr. Mayor, that's exactly what I was saying
before.
Mr. Plummer: Is there a second to the substitute motion?
Mr. Carollo: That is exactly what I was saying before. The
problem is you start throwing all the ifs and buts, and you
are the one, sir, that made a promise to the Brigade 2506
that the City of Miami was going to provide that money. It
wasn't I. sir.
Mayor Ferre: I am going to keep that promise.
Mr. Carollo: Then if you're going to, I would suggest that
you keep the motion to what I agreed to would be the motion,
and not start throwing all the other ifs that now, in the
substitute motion that you say you are making, which is the
same thing that I agreed to, you didn't include all the ifs
and buts that you are throwing at me.
Mayor Ferre: I stand corrected. However, in the substitute
motion, provided however, that it meet all of the
requirements of the law, such as non-profit organizations,
etc., that all other donations of this sort need. You're
right. I stand corrected.
Mr. Carollo: Mr. Clerk, is there anybody here from the
Brigade 2506?
Mr. Dawkins: If I could ask a question now, Mr. Carollo.
In the event, air, that everything goes well, you have to
draw plans and what have you. You are looking at a start up
date of when?
Mr. Lamar: As soon as we have the funds besides that we
already are working on the plans. We have the preliminary
plans. We have a preliminary budget. We can furnish you
with all the information whenever you want to.
Mr. Dawkins: But when will you be ready to break ground and
start preparing when?

Mr. Lamar: As soon as we have the money.
Mr. Carollo: Are you a non-profit organization? That was
the Mayor's request. Any other Questions, Mr. Mayor, any
other requirements?
Mr. Perez: Mr. Mayor, in order that we can take emergency
action in this case, I would like that instead of a motion,
we have a resolution, In order that they have an
opportunity to request this fund as soon as possible.
Mayor Ferre: Fines I have no problem with the legal format
of it.
Mr. Dawkins: Under discussion, what you are saying,
Commissioner Perez, is that we want a first and second
reading today so that they can get the money immediately and
not have to come back to another meeting. Is that what
you're saying?
Mr. Perez: Anyhow, the motion would no first reading. The
motion is pending for a resolution, but I would like the
maker....
Mr. Dawkins: A resolution, you still have to have two
readings, so we don't have to come back here. You have to
have two readings tonight.
Mr. Perez: Sure, in order that they don't have to come
back, but anyhow, the motion doesn't have to come back. The
motion has to come back for a resolution. I would like to
approve today, if the maker of the motion accepts it, as a
.resolution instead of a motion.
Mr. Carollo: That's fine.
Mr. Plummer: Voting on the substitute motion.
Mayor Ferre: Wait a minute, it doesn't have to be a
substitute. Joe, it's your motion now.
Mr. Carollo: No, he's not asking for a substitute. He's
just asking to incorporate it, and I'll incorporate it.
Mayor Ferre: The maker of the motion accepts the
incorporation of all these things. There are no amendments.
The maker of the motion incorporates all these things into
the motion.
Mr. Plummer: Back to the main motion.
Mayor Ferre: That is correct.
Mr. Plummer: Any further discussion?
