ENCLOSURES:
Under the Parks for People Bond Program, Task Forces for various
park districts recommended the improvements to be placed in each
park. In several parks, the construction of a Parks Attendant Building/
Comfort Station was requested. In line with this, bids and contracts
were recently awardedfor the construction of such structures in several
City of Miami parks.
Residents in the vicinity of two bayfront parks, Margaret Pace between
N. E. 17 Terrace and 20 Street, and Magnolia between N. E. 36 and 39
Streets, have objected to the location of this type building in these parks.
In an effort to overcome this opposition, we have held neighborhood
meetings with the area residents regarding these improvements but
have been unable to select an alternate location that would be acceptable.
In fact, those residents in attendance were unanimous in their objection
to the construction of such a building anywhere in the parks and have
requested that the contracts be closed out and any money remaining
from these contracts be expended on additional landscaping.
Inasmuch as the people in the area do not want the building improvements,
it is recommended that the Department of Public Works be authorized to
negotiate with the contractors for the costs they have already incurred in
building these two structures and that the contracts be terminated at this
point. Attached for your consideration is a resolution accomplishing
this action.
