INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Chairman Johnny L. Winton
and Members of the CRA Board
From: Frank K. Rollason
Executive Director
Date: November 5, 2004 File: 04-01187
Subject: Recommendation to Terminate
Contract Extension with Nova
Southeastern University
References: Miami at Midnight
Demonstration Transportation
Project
Enclosures: Resolution
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the Board of Directors for both the Southeast Overtown/Park West
(SEOPW) and Omni Community Redevelopment Agencies (CRAB) approve the attached
Resolution instructing the Executive Director to terminate the existing contract with Nova
Southeastern University for the Miami at Midnight Demonstration Project.
JUSTIFICATION:
After further examination of the priorities of the CRA, and the increasing demand upon limited
financial resources, it is recommended that the Board of Directors cancel the contract with Nova
Southeastern University for the Miami at Midnight Demonstration Project. Although significant
information has been provided to show that the CRA would not directly compete for funding with
the City of Miami, there is the possibility that such a conflict could arise and that confusion
over the direction of the City may jeopardize Federal and State (FOOT) funding sources as well
as potentially confuse the County (MPO). Therefore, it is recommended that the Board instruct
the Executive Director to cancel this contract under the 30-day notice provision which would allow
for payments under this contract through December 31, 2004.
