FLORIDA INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM rO Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission S E P 1 6 1935 DATE FILE SUBJECT Sixth Inter -American Sugar Cane Conference FROM Sergio Pereira—� / REFERENCES City Manager �N ENCLOSURES 19 At the September 12th City Commission Meeting, a Motion was adopted which approved in principle a funding allocation (at last year's level of funding) for the "Sixth Inter -American Sugar Cane Conference" and further instructed me to review the proposal so that a final recommendation could be made to the City Commission. At this time, I have scheduled the proposed funding for the Inter -American Sugar Cane Conference as a discussion item for the September 26th Commission Meeting. I have done so because this request for funding is under review by the Departments of Community Development and Economic Development, and they are still obtaining background information on the Conference. If we receive all the information that is required to adequately review the proposal, I plan to have a final recommendation on this matter at the September 26th Commission Meeting.
