Motion 83-168
Attached, please find motion 83-1.68 passed at the City Commission meeting
of March 18, 1983.
Although the motion on file reads the waiver of fee request was for the
use of the Ilayfront Park Auditorium, the intention (as you will notice
in the minutes of the meeting) was for the use of the Coconut Grove
Exhibition Center.
Please take the necessary steps to correct motion 83-168 indicating a
waiver of fees for the Coconut Grove Exhibition Center.

PETITION TO THE CITY OF MIAMI FOR THE USE OF

HONORABLE JOE CARROLLO

HONORABLE J.L. PLUMMER
WHAT: PETITION
FOR: WAIVER OF RENTAL FEES FOR COCONUT GROVE EXHIBITION HALL
WHEN: WEDNESDAY, MAY 11, 1983
WHY: TO CELEBRATE THE MONTH OF MAY IN CONJUNCTION WITH
NATIONALLY PROCLAIMED SENIOR CITIZENS MONTH
The Older Americans Act voted into law 1965 by the United States Congress and
ammended 1977, created the United Way Area Agency on Aging for Dade and
Monroe Counties. The Area Agency is a specialized agency for community -based
planning to meet the needs of its senior citizens, to maintain their health and
independence of activity within their homes and communities. The Area Agency
on Aging has sponsored the Senior Showcase every year since its creation.
Senior Showcase 1983 will dramatize and spotlight community contributions made
by our older residents.
An audience of approximately 4,000 elderly is anticipated. The Area Agency
budget for this major occurance is once again constrained due to all the reasons
so well known and understood by public officials. Provision of meals and
transportation for the elderly will exhaust a major portion of the Area Agency
funds for this purpose. The cost of using the Coconut Grove Exhibition Hall
will be approximately $7,200 for this event.
Therefore: United Way Area Agency on Aging, its 43 projects serving the
daily needs of our communities elderly and the Senior Citizens themselves appear
before you to request your favorable decision to waive the cost of approximately
$7,200 for the use of:
The City of Miami
