BACKGROUND
& ANALYSIS:
On March 15 1983, the City entered into an agreement with Miami-Dade County for the use of the City building located at 6121 SW 68th Street. The 4,555 square feet space has

amended once (March 15, 1985).
In 2003, the annual cost of providing services to the building, our cost was estimated at approximately $40,000. This included the cost for utilities (electricity,
water and sewer), janitorial supplies and services and cost of contractual extermination services. After much discussion/negotiation with the county in 2003, the county agreed to pay
for all utility bills (electricity, water and sewer), cleaning supplies to be used at the building and contractual exterminating service fee, effective October 1, 2003. In addition,
the county was required to continue to pay the $22,000 annual rental and the county was given full occupy the entire
building space of 5,460 square feet. The negotiated amendment to the agreement was intended to reduce the City’s expenses by approximately $18,000 a year.

the Head Start Programs and desires to sub-lease the property to Lliraff O., Inc. dba O'Farrill Learning Center
