It is recommended that the City Commission

Advisory Board for the Overtown Community
Development Target Area.
i
Mrs. Ann -Marie Adker, an Overtown resident and member of the
Overtown Advisory Board, on February 14, 1985, submitted a
memorandum of concerns to the City Commission. Included was a
request to authorize the Overtown Advisory Board to monitor all
public activities and provide a forum for citizen participation
within the Overtown Community Development Target Area.
The Overtown Advisory Board is an officially recognized City
and County board. It was created by Resolution No. 82-645 as a
15-member board to fulfill the requirements of the Urban Mass
-
Transportation Administration (UMTA) Grant and the Interlocal
Cooperation Agreement between the City and County. The Inter -
local Cooperation Agreement establishes the redevelopment
responsibilities for the Southeast Overtown/Park West Redevel-
opment Program.
The Overtown Advisory Board's current responsibility is to
-.'
review major project implementation decisions regarding the
'
Overtown portion of the Southeast Overtown/Park West Project
a
Area (see attached map).
�,.
Historically, there has been a communit
Y ywide board to address
_}>
citizen concerns within Overtown since the mid-1960s. This has
included the Planning Area Committee under the Neighborhood
`a.
Development Program and the Community Development Task Force
under the Community Development program.

The Overtown Advisory Board is desirous of reactivating a
centralized citizen participation organization to review and
monitor public projects and programs for the entire community
Development Target Area rather than continue the existing
limited approach to citizen participation. There is currently
no communitywide forum to discuss critical issues of concern to
area residents.
The Overtown Advisory Board is presently composed of individ-
uals who have been involved with the community development
process for many years and have a clear understanding of the
community's needs and desires.
The Southeast Overtown/Park West Project Office supports this
designation.
