CLOGUntS:
On or about July 30, 1979, representatives and sponsors of the Miami
Banditos Softball Team, a team of boys which plays in our City -sponsored
league, inquired of city officials whether or not the City would be
willing to contribute the necessary funds needed to pay for the team's
trip to St. LOOS to play in the national tournament. The team had
already raised $ 3,200 on its own, and needed a minimum of $ 1,200 to
pay for expenses which would be incurred in St. Louis.
' • ' • •' • - ,
Last year the City contributed 4,000 to this team's appearance in
the national tournament. This Year, a request was made in June to
the Department of Leisure Services to fund them again. Due to the
City's budget constraints, the request was denied. However, since
the team has made a strong effort to raise the needed funds on its
own, I have recommended that a check for $ 1,200 be issued for their
support -- subject to the ratification, confirmation and approval of
the Commi ss i on .
My staff has informed me that Mr. Plummer's assistant has called
members of the City Commission to informally poll them concerning
their feelings on this matter and that a positive response was
received from a majority of the Commission. This having been estab-
lished, I have proceeded to order a check issued, charged to the
remaining small balance in the Quality of Life Program, and have
directed the recipients of the check to document and submit all ex-
penses to me upon the team's return.

• On September 13, 1979, at the City Commission's first regular meeting
ter the August break, a resolution confirming my. action ,will be,
after
for your approval .
