A RESOLUTION OF THE MIAMI CITY COMMISSION, WITH ATTACHMENT(S),
AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE AMENDMENT NO. 2, IN
SUBSTANTIALLY THE ATTACHED FORM, TO THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN
THE CITY OF MIAMI AND CAMARA DE COMERCIO LATINA DE LOS ESTADOS
UNIDOS, INC. ("CAMACOL"), EXTENDING THE AGREEMENT END DATE FROM
SEPTEMBER 30, 2010 TO DECEMBER 31, 2010, FOR ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES ASSOCIATED WITH COMMERCIAL FACADE
PROJECTS; FURTHER AUTHORIZING THE ADDITIONAL ALLOCATION OF
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM INCOME FUNDS, IN
THE AMOUNT OF $140,345, TO CAMACOL TO PAY FOR HARD COSTS
ASSOCIATED WITH FACADES COMPLETED IN DISTRICT 4.
WHEREAS, pursuant to Resolution No. 09-0295, adopted June 18, 2009, the Miami City
Commission authorized the allocation of Community Development Block Grant ("CDBG") funds in the
amount of $250,000, to Camara de Comercio Latina de los Estados Unidos, Inc. ("CAMACOL"), for
soft costs associated with the Commercial Facade Program; and
WHEREAS, the same resolution authorized the allocation of CDBG funds in the amount of
$750,000 from District 3 and CDBG funds in the amount of $500,000 from District 4 to CAMACOL for
hard costs associated with the Commercial Facade Program in said districts; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Resolution No. 09-0541, adopted November 19, 2009, the Miami City
Commission authorized the allocation of CDBG close-out funds in the amount of $16,000 to
CAMACOL for soft costs for the Commercial Code Compliance Program; and
WHEREAS, CAMACOL expedited projects that were already underway to complete them before
the end of the 2009-2010 Program Year and exceeded the funding available for hard costs in District
4; and
WHEREAS, because CAMACOL was not funded for the Facade/Code Compliance Program for
the 2010-2011 Program Year, a need for additional funding has arisen to cover hard costs to prevent
undue hardship to the contractors and businesses involved; and
WHEREAS, the Administration recommends extending the Agreement end term date, between the
City of Miami ("City") and CAMACOL, from September 30, 2010 to December 31, 2010, and the
allocation of additional CDBG Program income funds in the amount of $140,345 for hard costs
associated with the Facade Program in District 4;
