A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER
TO ACCIiTT THE PROPOSITION OF THE OPA-LOCKA
COW?ANY MADE APRIL 2, 192G.
S, under date of April 2nd, 1926, Opa-Looka Company, Inc.
submitted the following proposition:
and.
tion,
April 2, 1926
City Commissioners
Miami, Florida
Dear Sirs:
Since my letter of March 26th the City represen-
tatives have inspected the site at Opalooka and I have made
a tentative layout of the golf course, nine holes of which
provide a border for an aviation field large enough for the
air mail service. This is the dairy farm on the w4st aide
of LeJeune Road in Section 20. The entire area is covered
with a good sod, making it ideal for an aviation field.
The other nine holes surround Cooks Hannock and
provide public park and locations for wells and a source for
MiamiTs future crater requirements for the northern part of
the City and its suburbs. A location is provided for water
treating plant with a switch from the Seaboard railroad and
access to drainage canal for refuse in the treating plant.
This Company is willing to deed to the City for
1.00, the lend required for the golf course and water works
and to provide the money for the construction of the golf
course and club house under the City's direction and accept
the City's notes or other form of deferred payment for same.
The infield of the second nine holes may be leased
by the City as an aviation field for $1.00 a year for a period
of two years, at which time the City will have the option to
purchase the field at a price of $2000.00 an acre. This area
will contain at a guess, 100 acres. If it developes that less
area is required for aviation purposes, the City may purchase
only as much as desired.
The attached sketch shows the general location of
the course. The golf architect will arrange the links.
If you can accept the plan in principle we would
have no trouble in working out the details.
Your prompt action mould be greatly appreciated.
Yours truly,
OPALO CKA C OLTAI?Y, INC.
