BACKGROUND:
In February, 2001, the City executed a lease agreement with the
Overtown Youth Center, Inc. for the leasing of the new 17,000
square foot youth center at 450 NW 14 Street within Gibson Park.
The facilities were constructed by Marty Margulies for use by the
Overtown Youth Center, Inc. which provides educational and
recreation programs for the inner city youth in Overtown. The
center operates and maintains the buildings at no cost to the City.
In July, 2003, the OYC ordered the purchase and installation of
hurricane shutters. The shutters cost $28,550 and were paid from
OYC's operating funds. Approval of this resolution will allow the
City to reimburse OYC for this lease hold improvement to this city
facility resulting in a positive impact to the organization's
operational budget, the program it offers and the youth it serves.
