On December 10, 2001, the Office of Asset Management received a copy of a Motion to Enforce the
Stipulated Settlement to replace the grease trap in Crown Supermarket at the Overtown Shopping Center

lawsuit filed by Mr. Corona against the City that was subsequently settled in a Court approved Stipulated
Settlement and Agreed Order between the City of Miami and Overtown Ventures, Inc. Terms of the
Stipulated Settlement Agreement required the City to hire an expert contractor or engineer, at its sole
expense, to determine if the grease trap was properly designed andlor installed. The City Commission
reecntly approved Emergency Ordinance No. 12170, which includes funding for this project.

resolve this matter. As a result of this joint effort, funds have been identified in the amount of000.

grease trap and other plumbing related items. In order to be in compliance with the Court approved
Settlement Agreement, we need to replace the grease trap and other plumbing related items
