City Manager
SUBJECT: Downtown Miami Business
Association
FROM: Dena Spillman, Director REFERENCES: City Commission Agenda
Department of Community Development May 10, 1984
ENCLOSURES:
It is recommended that the City Commission
approve the attached resolution authorizing
the City Manager to enter into an agreement
with the Downtown Miami Business 7�ssociation
for $75,000.00 of Jobs Program funds for the
purpose of replacing the curbing around the
planters along Flagler Street with tile.
At the City Commission meeting on July 28, 1983, Motion #83-688
was passed and adopted authorizing and directing the City Manager
to investicate and obtain further information on the request made
by the Downto%-,n Miami Business Association for $75,000.00 in Jobs
Program funds. The .Manager was further directed to identify where
the monies would be taken from in the Jobs Program. It was also
stipulated that said Jobs Program would be targeted towards
employment.
The idea of replacing the curbing around the planters along Flagler
Street with tile came as a result of the difficulty of maintaining
those areas. They are being used by pedestrians as trash collection
areas and they are never clean. This proposed project will help to
eliminate the current deteriorating conditions and create a pleasant
visual experience.
The Flagler Street Tile Project will offer the opportunity for
different uses:
a) sitting areas
b) vending areas
c) attractive sidewalk cafes, where permitted
d) places for public arts displays
thereby, increasing pedestrian circulation that will attract the
thousands of workers and shoppers that are not presently utilizing
these areas.
It is therefore recommended that the City Commission approve the
attached resolution.
