W. Brice, Director = For City Commission Meeting Department of Fire of April 1, 1982 It is recommended that the City Manager be authorized to execute agreement with the��Historical Association of Southern Florida;, providing for conditional gift of antique fire control artifacts and photographs to the Historical Associa- tion of Southern Florida for their future maintenance, assessioning and display. The City of Miami Fire Department and the Historical Associa- tion of Southern Florida have worked out an agreement whereby antique fire control artifacts, such as alarm boxes, helmets, life support equipment, and photographs would be given on a conditional basis to the Historical Association. The artifacts would become part of the Historical Association's permanent collection and, as such, be available on a loan basis for exhibits sponsored by the Miami Fire Department as well as by other institutions. In this regard, the Historical Associa- tion will, at its own expense, make all restoration repairs and provide all maintenance necessary to keep the objects in good condition. The City will be given precedence in right of dis- play over all other uses and for periods as long as it desires. It is anticipated that this donation will not only serve to protect those objects currently in hand for future public use and educational benefit, but also serve as an impetus for donations of fire service artifacts from private individuals in the future. Objects, as they become available, may be donated by amendment to the proposed agreement.
