Background Information:
The City entered into a Revocable License Agreement on May 16, 2001 with the Josefa Perez Castano
Kidney Foundation (the "Licensee") for its use of 1,609.1 square feet. of space in the Manuel Artime
Community Center ("MACC"). The City Commission authorized an abatement of seven months of
monthly fees to facilitate the Licensee's start-up at this location. Upon the expiration of the abatement,
the Licensee paid its monthly fees through September 30, 2003 at which time the City Commission
granted a moratorium of the use fees for several agencies in the MACC, which moratorium ended March
31, 2005.
The Licensee subsequently fell behind in its payment of monthly fees due to its main source of funding
(County CDBG) being reduced from $60,000, $42,000, then $20,000 for the years ending December 31,
2004, 2005, and 2006, respectively. City of Miami funding during these same years was $0, $11,000,
and $10,000, respectively.
As a result of the decrease in funding, Licensee has had to reduce its program operations while still
providing service to economically disadvantaged residents of Miami afflicted with kidney disease. Due
to the reduction in programming, Licensee has not been fully utilizing its space.
The Department of Public Facilities has met with the Mr. George Castano, Jr., the Executive Director of
Licensee, several times to discuss the matter of past due use fees and possible ways to accommodate
them in light of recent cuts to their funding. The Licensee and the Department agreed that the Licensee
will move from their current room of 1600 square feet to an office of 590 square feet recently made
available. The Licensee's move into a smaller office space to accommodate their decreased funding
will lower their use fees from $956 per month to $369.95. It is further proposed that since Licensee has
not been fully utilizing its area and a smaller space was not available until August, 2006 that they be
granted a reduction of the monthly fee for the period of April 1, 2005 through September 30, 2006 to
$350/month.
