Martin Luther Economic Development
Corporation (MLKEDCO) in an amount not

City Manager to enter into an

agency, in a form acceptable to the
City Attorney."
The Community Based Organizations (CBO's) have been the City's
primary outreach vehicles to assist the various neighborhood
commercial districts in addressing their economic development
projects. The Martin Luther King Economic Development. Corporation
(MLKEDCO) has been under contract with the City of Miami for the past
two years for the purpose of developing and implementing economic
projects in the Model Cities/Edison Center business district.
During the 1983-84 contract year, the MLKEDCO experienced various
problems related to the constitutionality of its by-laws which
resulted in two different groups holding themselves to be the duly
elected representatives of this corporation.
Since the problems have not been adequately resolved, the City
Commission adopted Motion No. 84-775 at its July 30, 1984 Commission
meeting, which authorized MLKEDCO to receive funds on a month -to -
month basis until the aforementioned problems are adequately
resolved.
