On May 31, 1983, the City Commission adopted Motion M-83-428, authorizing and directing the City Manager to allocate $11,000 to Dade Heritage Trust for completion of restoration work at the Dr. James M. Jackson Office. These funds are a necessary local match for an $11,500 grant from the Emergency Jobs Act of 1983 (P.L. 98-8). In the same motion, the Commission approved an additional allocation of $5,000 for completion of a medical museum and historic preservation library in Dr. Jackson's Office, subject to the Manager's approval. The Planning Department recommends this expenditure as a final step necessary to make the Dr. Jackson's Office property a public attraction.

JACKSON OFFICE At the mentioned meeting, the City Commission approved by motion to match a grant being pursued at that time by Dade Heritage Trust from the Emergency Jobs act of 1983 (P.L. 98-8), through the State of Florida Secretary of State's Office. Funds were specifically set asideby the bill for allocation to each state, for the purpose of historic preservation. The Trust requested and was awarded $11,500, as attested by the enclosed copy of the notification letter from the State Historic Preservation Officer. (The City has obligated $11,000 only to match this grant.) In addition, the Commission approved in the same motion to award 259000 to the Trust to support completion of the medical museum, preservation library and their support system, all housed in Dr. Jackson's Office. The museum and library will be open to the citizens of Piiami and South Florida on a regular basis. Also enclosed is a budget for allocation of these funds. We will appreciate your expediting these funds so preparatory work can begin. Hopefully, we will dovetail the construction aspects with the museum and library development for an early - spring 1984 opening. Thank you for your help. I personally look forward to working with your office, and to the long-awaited completion of this important project undertaken by Dade Heritage Trust for the restoration and public use of this exceptional City of Miami property.
