The City purchased numerous parcels as part of the land acquisition for the Southeast Overtown/Park West Redevelopment Project. Often included in the purchase price of these parcels were the furnishings they contained, but which the original owners were unwilling or unable to remove. The Department of Development has contacted the City's Purchasing Division in an effort to identify vendors that may be interested in purchasing these furnishings. The Purchasing Division and the Department of Development have met with limited success in disposing of this surplus property because most of the furnishings are not generally marketable and salvageable due to their poor condition. All useable fixtures which can be utilized by the City have been removed by the Department of General Services upon the City taking possession of the property. Several local charities and service organizations have indicated that they may have use for these furnishings. Since it has been difficult to secure buildings purchased by the City and it is feared that the furnishings will rapidly disappear or be vandalized, the City of Miami donated some of these furnishings to several charitable organizations. Your permission is requested to allow these local charities and service groups the opportunity to have the furnishings donated to them. 5E-421;.;
