ENCLOSURES: June 12, 1986 Commission Meeting
"It is recommended that the City Com-
mission authorize the City Manager to
execute an agreement, in a form accept-
able to the City Attorney, with Greater
Miami United, Inc., in an amount not to

Greater Miami United, Inc. (GMU) is a non-profit civic organiza-
tion whose goal is to improve the social and economic environment
in blighted neighborhood areas. GMU has been successful in
mobilizing public and private resources to deal with fundamental
community problems.
GMU's proposal reflects the organization objectives to improve
Miami's well being by strengthening our CBOs, providing private
sector involvement in community revitalization and increasing the
level of resources available to Community Development.
The three elements of GMU's proposal are:
I. Delivery of the Project Development Institute (PDI)
to participating City of Miami CDCs/CBOs; and
II. Provision of PDI, related support structures in
Miami, including the development of private sector
involvement and resources in PDI and all community
development activities; and
III. Continuation of the general GMU work -plan as sup-
ported by its City of Miami contract.

The main goal of the PDI will be to teach CDCs/CBOs how to iden-
tify project opportunities, determine their feasibility,
formulate and negotiate a financing package for a project. The
Institute will continue to provide CDC project assistance. GMU
will house one full-time PDI staff person who will maintain
,.
weekly contact with every participant in the program.
The provision of PDI will include, but not be limited to, local
technical assistance, weekly contact with all participants, and
substantive coordination with PDI instructors.
It is recommended that the proposed contract agreement with GMU
be approved so that continued training and technical assistance
-y
can be provided to the CBO's thereby strengthening their devel-
opment expertise and impact substantially on the economic well f
being of their communities.
