ILT Assistance for PAMU orange
blossom Classid
:N:r
OVer the past several years, the City of Miami has allocated
$2,000 - $2,500 for services in connection with the Orange
blossom Classic Parade. This allocation was not covered by
agreement and was not actually coordinated with Florida A & M
University.
because the University has been considering a termination of
the Orange BlOssom Classic here in Miami due to mediocre turn-
out, and because I feel that one of the reasons for the low
turnout has been a lack of substantial promotion and publicity
concerning this event, I think it would be in the best interest
of the City of Miami to reestablish and increase its support of
this event. 1978 is the final year of a two-year agreement
between FAMU and the City of Miami to use the Orange Bowl for
this event. I think that the City should attempt to keep the
Orange Blossom Classic in the Orange Bowl and I feel that all
City efforts to assist FAMU with the promotion of this event
should be tied up in a $6,000 annual assistance package. FAMU
will be responsible for the disbursement of these funds and will
provide the City with a financial report of the Orange Blossom
Classic.
I will negotiate the details of an agreement with FAMU officials
and will submit it for approval prior to this year's event
(November 30 - December 2, 1978).
