Gary City Manager FROM: Herbert J. Bailey w�' Assistant City Mana�Zr.. DATE: January 1 1 , 1984 FILE: SUBJECT S.E. Overtown/Park West City Commission Agenda January 19, 1984 REFERENCES: ENCLOSURES: It is recommended that the City Commis- sion approve the attached Resolution advancing up to $75,000 from contingen- cy funds to the New Washington Heights Community Development Conference to obtain technical assistance for the preparation of a feasibility study and implementation program for the con- struction of a hotel in the Overtown Urban Initiatives Project Area, said funds to be repaid upon receipt of funding from the federal Overtown Urban Initiatives Grant and or other funding sources. On October 25, 1983, the Miami City Commission approved motion 183-909 authorizing the City Manager to allocate an amount no*t to exceed $75,000 to the New Washington Heights Community - Development Conference to undertake a feasibility study and development program for a hotel for the Overtown Urban Initia- tives Project area, pursuant to review by the Overtown Advisory Board (OAB). On December 21, 1983, the OAB approved a motion supporting funding for the New Washington Heights Community Development Conference, contingent upon three provisions (note attach- ment). The provisions deal with contract monitoring by the OAB, administration of the contract and assurances that any unexpended funds that remain be utilized for Overtown redevel- opment. The appropriate source of funding for this project should. be from the Overtown Urban Initiatives Grand, administered by Dade County. The County has submitted an amended application to the 84-40 H.Gary - 2 - January 11, 1984 U.S. Department of Transportation, Urban Mass Transit Admini- stration, requesting additional funding , including funding for technical assistance. Due to the present uncertainty concern- ing additional federal funding and the need for New Washington Heights to initiate their feasibility study now, in order to meet the proposed redevelopment schedule for the nine -block Southeast Overtown/Park West Redevelopment Area, it is recom- mended that they be funded by the City pending repayment if other funding sources can be obtained. Other funding sources may include Dade County and the Local Initiatives Support Program. 84--40: �f All, jpot': January 10, 1984 Mr. Herbert J.
