Dear Mayor and City Commissioners:

April 29, 1986
In February 1986 the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce
actively embarked on bringing Naval ships to the City of
Miami as a port of call. Toward that end the assistance
of City Manager Cesar Odio was solicited. It is largely
through the City Administration's efforts that I am requesting
formal approval of the City Commission to actively move
forward on this project.
The Chamber has undertaken to establish a Host Committee
that will solicit ship visitation and issue proper hosting
upon arrival.
My purpose in requesting an appearance at the May 7,
1986 City Commission meeting is to request that the City
conduct the maintenance dredging of the FEC slip, install
the necessary Dolphin piers and provide utility hook ups.
Through discussions with your staff it has been established
that this will cost approximately $225,000-250,000. The
economic benefit of this effort is obvious and the berthing
of Naval ships at Bicentennial Park will provide an added
attraction to downtown Miami.
I look forward to your active support of this viable
project.
Sincerely,
Chairman
Military Affairs Committee
