Background Information:
Haiti, the Caribbean nation of about 9 million people was devastated during August and September of
2008 by four consecutive storms: Tropical Storm Fay, Hurricane Gustav, Tropical Storm Hanna, and
Hurricane Ike. These storms destroyed the already fragile infrastructure of this nation. It is estimated
that 300,000 Haitian children were affected and approximately 500 to 600 people have died. As a
result, the City of Miami has been part of a non-perishable food and clothing drive for victims in Haiti
that ran through September 19, 2008. Food and clothing drops were established at all Fire stations
and Neighborhood Enhancement Team (NET) offices. (Continued on next page....)

the City of Miami Code)
On September 19th, Commissioner Spence -Jones led a twenty member delegation to Haiti to deliver
50,000 pounds of hurricane relief to storm ravaged victims in the impoverished Caribbean nation. In
order to provide relief aid and assist in recovery efforts, the City of Miami is also donating to the Haitian
American Citizenship and Voter Education Center, Inc., a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization, one 1999
Ford F-250, Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) 1FTRF27W7XNB47313.
This non-profit organization is exclusively a charitable, scientific, literary and educational organization
with goals to serve Haitians with the education to understand the need and value of becoming United
States citizens, on recognizing that voting is an inalienable constitutional right guaranteed to all citizens,
assist and prepare the required citizenship applications on behalf of applicants, etc.
Pursuant to Section 18-92, Disposal of Surplus City -Owned Personal Property, the Miami City
Commission may classify surplus equipment as Category "A", as the City's contribution or City's
commitment in support of a particular public purpose which may include those community, civic, or
social service programs as may be authorized by the City Commission. Not-for-profit organizations
which provide a public purpose shall be offered first consideration as recipients for the disposition of
Category "A" surplus stock.
As a result, the Miami City Commission, via this resolution, donates a 1999 Ford F-250, as previously
described, to the Haitian American Citizenship and Voter Education Center, Inc., upon the execution of
the appropriate release documents; and in turn, the organization will donate the same vehicle to the City
of Port Au Prince, Haiti to assist with the recovery efforts from these storms.
