FLORIDA INTER•OFFICZ MEMOtIANDUM njkTJune 18, 1980 V •'!LE ' �r II.Ci Re-Encuentro Cubano 1980 - � 1141`0IGFS .ZLC: SVF1rS. It is recommended that a resolution be passed allocating cash assistance toward Re- nc€ cuentro Cubano 1980. Re-Encuentro Cubano 1980, an annual cultural event co -sponsored by the University of Miami, Re-Encuentro Cubano, Inc. and the City of Miami, is scheduled to be held from June 10 to July 6, 1980. The City of Miami has been requested to contribute a $10,000 cash contribution toward this year's event. The total budget for this event is estimated to be $26,250, of which $24,000 is indicated as total cash resources. In accordance with City Commission Policy No. 100-4, the $10,000 cash request is less than the total amount of cash resources. However, it should be pointed out that.the FY '80 Budget allocation for this event is $5,000. The City of Miami has contributed cash assistance in the amount of $5,000 to this event for the past two years. Mr. Rolando Amador, Vice Chairman of Re-Encuentro Cubano 1980 has indicated the addi- tional funding has been requested for the planning of a year-round research, aid, and support program for over 100 recently arrived Cuban artists. It is his feeling that the additional $5,000 will serve as seed money for their proposal to the NEAH and the Depart- ment of Labor. While I feel that the reason for the increase in funding is worth- while, it is my feeling that the lateness of the request and the impact on budgetary planning outweigh its benefits. I am therefore recommending cash assistance in the amount of $5,000. 80-492 RE•ENCUENTRO CU MNO INC. tENCUENTRO 5500 S.W. Fifth street �--� CUBANO Miami, Florida 33134 June 3, 1980 Mr. Joseph R. Grassie City Manager City of Miami 3500 Pan American Drive Miami, Florida 33133 Dear Mr. Grassie: This letter to address the $5,000 modification in the City's cosponsorship for Reencuentro Cubano 80. We are reasoning as follows: This match increase keeps within the City's guidelines as it does not exceed one half of the total budget of $27,000. c �r Additional funds have been requested from the NEA, NEAH, and the Department of Labor via an Inter -Arts Proposal for the year-round program as well as this year's festival of Reencuentro. With this match increase a research, aid, and support program for over 100 recently arrived Cuban artists will be undertaken as part of the above -mentioned inter -Federal Agency Proposal. We plan t0 offer in this festival of Reencuentro 80 an increased availability to all quality events by allowing free admission to them. Reencuentro is requesting this modification for a total of $10,000 from the City of Miami in order to respond to the entire family needs year round. Thanking you and the City Commission, as well as Mayor Maurice A. Ferre for your continued support in these endeavors. ry /ord' C�s, oI ndo Amador Vice Chairman Reencuentro Cubano 80 RA: fa cc: Angela R.
