"It is recommended that the at-
tached Resolution be adopted by
the City Commission thereby of-
ficially terminating the Agree-
ment between the City and SBOC-
Wynwood."
SBOC-Wynwood, a Little Havana based organization, has represented the
Wynwood CD Target Area, in terms of managing and administering said
area's Neighborhood Economic Development Program, since July 1980.
SBOC's failure to involve the Wynwood community in the economic, as
well as decision -making processes and activities of the area have
created a community resentment which subsequently has resulted in a
sub -par performance by SBOC-Wynwood. To this end, it is recommended
that the Agreement with SBOC-Wynwood be terminated on January 14, 1982.
It is further recommended that the remaining unencumbered funds, pre-
viously allocated to SBOC-Wynwood, be reserved until a viable organiza-
tion based in the Wynwood CD Target Area proper is created and has
presented an acceptable proposal and work program to the City through
the Department of Trade & Commerce Development. At that time said
organization shall be funded with the remaining unencumbered funds
previously allocated to SBOC-Wynwood.
