In February, Council staff entered into a contract with the City of Miami to provide a retreat for their Model City Homeownership Trust.  Staff along with the City of Miami, Adkins & Associates, and the Model City Community Revitalization Trust was responsible for a day and a half workshop designed to bring the Model City Community Revitalization Trust and the City of Miami City Commission together with program leaders with similar experiences from Charlotte, NC; Atlanta, GA and Cleveland, OH.  The workshop began on Thursday with a tour of the Model City area for the speakers and other interested parties followed by a reception.  Additionally, the Trust was formalized and provided with discussion on such topics as governance, financing and resources needed in their new role.  Overall the event was a success with approximately 100 people in attendance including Trust members, the City of Miami Commission, speakers and community stakeholders.  The Orientation took place June 13-15, 2002.

Additionally from June 2-7, ULI held a 5-day advisory panel studying the area and assisted the City of Miami in determining best alternatives for Model City revitalization.  Kenneth Bacchus, one of the ULI Advisory Panel members attended the June 13-15 Orientation to report the ULI findings.
