The Community Based Organizations (CBOs) 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 j district. During the 1983-84 contract year, the MLKEDCO experienced various problems related to the constitutionality of MLKEDCO's by-laws which resulted in two different groups holding themselves to be the duly elected representatives of this corporation. 85--28E.t Since these 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. -0n October 8, 1984, MLKEDCO held a special meeting in -order to elect the governing board of the organization. Upon.. concluding this election, the Chairman advised the- City -of its 'actions-, and provided the names of those Board members elected. On November 20, 1984, the Department of Economic Development (DED) requested a legal opinion from the City Attorney as to whether the legal status of MLKEDCO has been resolved in light of the activities of the organization since April, 1984 and in view of the special meeting held on October 8, 1984. A favorable opinion by the City Attorney's office would enable the City of Miami to contract on a yearly basis with MLKEDCO instead of the current month -to -month. On December 13, 1984, the City Commission passed Resolution No. 84-1443 authorizing payment to MLKEDCO in the amount of $3,145.83 for the period of January 1, 1985 to January 31, 1985.

This payment represents 1/12th (1 month) of the total allocation amount of $37,750. On February 14, 1985, the City Commission passed Resolution No. 85-166 authorizing payment to MLKEDCO in the amount of...$3,145..83 for the period of March 1, 1985 to March 31, 1985. This payment represents 1/12th (1 month) of the total allocation amount of $37,750.
