INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: Daniel J. Alfonso, City Manager DATE: November 6, 2017
FROM: Milton Vickers, Senior Advisor
to the City Manager on behalf
of Commissioner Carollo
SUBJECT: $2,500.00 from District 3 for
The Prymus Angels Corporation
BACKGROUND
The City of Miami ("City") created the Anti -Poverty Initiative to address poverty and focus on providing
support to its residents.
The Prymus Angels Corporation (the organization) is an educational based all-star cheer program that is
housed at Jose Marti Gymnasium, developed to not only serve the community, but build a bond that helps
its members grow as a team. The allocated funding will be utilized on residents of the City Commission
District 3, and for programs serving underprivileged city residents.
As they are familiar with the needs of the community and requirements imposed by the City, it would be
advantageous to the City to expedite the allocation and waive procurement requirements at this time.
Providing these funds to the organization will allow more youth to obtain these services immediately, with
no added time for the procurement process, which could take over 30-40 days.
RECOMMENDATION
In light of the above stated, approval of a waiver of the formal requirements of competitive sealed bidding
methods as not being practicable or advantageous to the City as set forth in the City Code of Ordinances, as
amended, specifically Section 18-85 (A), and the affirmation of these written findings and the forwarding of
the same to the City Commission for ratification by a four -fifths vote is respectfully requested.
