City Manager
SUBJECT: Approval of Funding For The
Martin Luther King Economic
Development Corporation
FROM: For April 1 - 30, 1985
Charlotte Gallogly 1 REFERENCES:
Director � March 14, 1985 Commission
Department of Economic D velopment ElvcLosuREs' Agenda
"It is recommended that the City
Commission approve the attached
resolution allocating $3,145.83 of Tenth
Year Community Development Block Grant
Funds appropriated by the passage of
Ordinance #98-34 to the Martin Luther
King Economic Development Corporation
(MLKEDCO) in an amount not to exceed
1/12th of the total allocation of $37,750
for said agency, for the period from
April 1, 1985 to April 30, 1985 for it to
continue implementing a neighborhood
economic development program; authorizing
the City Manager to enter into an
agreement with the aforementioned agency
in a form acceptable to the City
Attorney.
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 the 4th budgetary allocation amount approved by
the City Commission to MLKEDCO for 1/12 (1 month) of the total
allocation amount of $37,750.
On January 10, 1985, the City Commission passed Resolution No. 85-
33 authorizing payment to MLKEDCO in the amount of $3,145.83 for
the period of February 1, 1985 to February 28, 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.
As stated above, funding for MLKEDCO is authorized and approved by
the City Commission on a month -to -month basis so that the
corporation can continue to implement its Management By Objectives
(MBOs) as approved in the 1984-85 Work Program. The activities
and services for which MLKEDCO is responsible are important to the
community.
