BACKGROUND:
The attached Resolution authorizes the expenditure of funds, in an amount not to exceed, $15,000, for the
demolition and removal of the building at 1163 N.W. 3ti Avenue, Miami Florida. The area NET Office has
received numerous complaints about the condition of the building, particularly in light of its close proximity to
Frederick Douglass Elementary School. The building's owner has agreed to allow the Southeast Overtown/Park
West Community Redevelopment Agency ("CRA") to demolish the building. The CRA is currently soliciting
proposals for demolition and removal of the building from contractors on the City's list of approved vendors.
JUSTIFICATION:
The building is in a state of disrepair and constitutes a blighting condition and eyesore in the community. Its
demolition will remove its blighting effect and improve the neighborhood.
FUNDING: $15,000 from SEOPW Tax Increment Fund, entitled "Other Contractual Services," Account No.
10050.920101.534000.0000.00000.
