PETITION TC THE
; lI \;'lI CITY c'.O:";;il;SIoN
We, the undersigned members of the City of fiani International Folk:
Festival Committee and other clescerants of the nationality and ethnic
groups indicates: below, retire 3entinc: hundreds of thousands of persons
in the Greater ;liami area, including Americans of all races and relig-
ions, who support the Miami International Folk Festival, do hereby
request:
1. That the Iiiami City Commission be advised that, as has oc-
cureci in past years, the International I'oll: festival in
197C not only did not exceed it , au;;iopriation, but return-
ed $1,062.00 of its :fl.9,000 city appropriation to the City's
General I'evenue Fund. Ti:.ker1: se, the Festival found it was
not necessary to use the additional $2,500 which it thought
might be required as a supplemental appropiation.
2. Due to inflation, all costs, and particularly those for food
and lodging for visiting entertainers, have increased great-
" S In addition, other local festivals are offering visiting
SUD1OL)T1V'.� ntcrtainers all meals and lodging free, rather than just a
DOCUMENTS" artial hood allowance.
1 In an effort to expand and improve the International Folk
Festival, we wish to present a free public folk concert at
Gusrian Hall during the 1979 Polk Festival and to bring in
additional foreign entertainers, par.ticiilarlY European groups.
4. The City of .".iami International Folk Festival is the only such
event produce.'_ by the City Commission throuu_ h its appointed
Folk Festival Committee and it had grown in its scope and
success for the past 7 years. lie feel it should receive at
least the same financial consideration, since it is for and
by all nationality, racial and ethnic groups in our community,
that the City grants to event., sponsored by' outside organi-
zations.

5. We as}: that the City Corirzisii on approve our requested 1979
appropiation of .`:34,705, which is considerably less than the
$39,625 which the Folk Festival Committee plans to generate

Dear Mayor Ferre:
At a meeting of the City of Miami's International Folk Festival
Committee held last Tuesday evening, Aug. 29th, members of the
Committee voted unanimously to ask you to permit them to appear
before the City Commission at 5 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 14th.
The Committee is most anxious to discuss plans for the 1979
International Folk Festival and appropriations for this event
which, as you know, is made possible by the joint participation
of Anglos, Latins and Blacks and persons representing approxi-
mately 70 nationalities and ethnic groups.
Please be assured that only a few of our 35 members will ask to
speak and they will be brief. With many thanks for your help in
this matter and with best personal regards, I am,
Sincerely,
)iorty/4reedman
