BACKGROUND:
The attached resolution authorizes additional funding, in an amount not to exceed $7,500, for engineering fees
associated with the surveying and replat of Block 36 in Overtown. The Board of Commissioners, by Motion 03-
28, passed and adopted March 31, 2003, authorized the expenditure of up to $20,000 through the City of Miami
Department of Public Works for preparation of a survey and replat of Block 36 in Overtown. In August 2004, the
City of Miami's Department of Public Works contracted with an existing vendor for these services at a projected
cost of $65,000. Additional time and expense were incurred verifying concurrency issues associated with the
Overtown Folklife Village Development Corporation's Lyric Promenade Project. The City of Miami has asked
the CRA to assume any additional expenses of the survey and replat.
JUSTIFICATION:
The replatting of Block 36 in Overtown is required to prepare the block for development, including the expansion
of the Lyric Theater. This resolution furthers the redevelopment of the block and expansion of the Lyric Theater
by providing funding for completion of the survey and replat.
