FLORIOA INTE10-01rFICE MEMORANDUM n 2a, evelop e OAT& August 16, 1984 MR: ,U111,ECT: Amendment To The Contract Agreement With The Little Havana Development Autho- rity REF[RENCtse September 13, 1984 Com- 1tNC1.04u1tcs:m i s s i o n Meeting "It is recommended that the City Commission authorize the City Manager to amend the contract agreement with the Little Havana Development Authority, Inc. (LHDA), in a form acceptable to the City Attorney, to increase the amount of funds provided under the 10th year Community Development Block Grant, from $37,750 to $50,000, for the purpose of augmenting the contractor's operation to provide economic development services to the Latin Quarter area of Little Havana; funds to be provided from the 10th year Community Development Block Grant Program." At the July 31, 1984 City Commission meeting, the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 84-868 authorizing you to enter into individual contract agreements with the neighborhood economic development organizations for the implementation of a 10th year Community Development Bloch Grant program. The Little Havana Development Authority, Inca (LHDA) was one of the ten community based organizations which entered into a contract with the City to provide economic development services to the community. Th13 organization's primary area of responsibility is the Latin Quarter neighborhood within Little Havana; specifically, the Latin Quarter Development Project which is intended to revitalize a specific area of Little Havana. A A The development of the Latin Quarter Project has been and will continue to be the major economic development objective of LHDA. To continue delivering support services and assistance on the redevelopment plan, LHDA has requested additional funds to help augment its staff in order to expand the scope of its services for the Latin Quarter neighborhood. The additional funds, which will come from the 10th year Community Development Block Grant Program, will allow LHDA to add one staff member. This will facilitate the provision of such services as the production of a commercial business directory for the Latin Quarter, the development of the Little Havana Nations Marketplace and the coordination and development of a plan for a commercial park project for the area. Therefore, I am recommending that this organization be granted an increase in funding to enable LHDA to properly address the needs of the Little Havana Latin Quarter neighborhood.
