This Agreement will allow the City to continue using the services of Mr. Mark Israel as our Man In Washington representative for a period of one year. It would seem appropriate that after all the services that Mr. Israel has provided during this past year, this Agreement should be extended for one additional year. The cost of this service will be $22,000. In the 1976-77 Budget under special programs and accounts, the Man In Washington Program was budgeted at $19,200, therefore, $2,800 will have to be allocated from the Contingency Fund for this program. ,r 77 / 1 NATIONAL LEAGUE OP CITIES Mr, Joseph L► Crsssie City Manager City Mall M afiii r Plorida 33133 Dear Joe. _It 't►t� • t,.*tt uNiTEo STATES CONFERENCE OF MAYORS 'anuaty 14 i 1077 l am pleased to transmit a proposed contract for Contin- uation of Washington representation services for the City of Miami at an increased level of service, The level which is proposed and has been discussed with you by Mark Israel is far more appropriate to the size and workload of Miami than the previous level. Please return one fully executed copy for our files. We especially enjoy working with Miami as it develops as the central city of the Metropolitan area. Mark informs me frequently about the progress of Miami city government, and I am convinced that he is looking out for the City's interests in so many ways that would be impossible without a Washington office. Please call me or Mark if there are questions on the contract. A belated congratulations on your new post. Speaking for Man In Washington, it's good to be working with you again.
