Title
A Resolution authorizing the City Manager and City Attorney to amend the Amended and Restated Agreement for Operation of the Coral Gables Museum and authorizing the execution of an agreement by and between the Coral Gables Museum Corporation and the City of Coral Gables for the City’s exclusive use of the Perrin International Reception Hall (Perrin Hall), Rooms 101 and 102, at the Coral Gables Museum.
Body
Ordinance No. 2011-04 passed and adopted February 8, 2011, authorized an Amended and Restated Agreement for the operation of the Coral Gables Museum at 285 Aragon Avenue which is the current agreement.
Resolution No. 2011-15 passed and adopted January 25, 2011, authorized a Museum Development Funding Agreement by and between the Coral Gables Museum Corporation, the Coral Gables Community Foundation, Inc., Donald D. Slesnick II, as former personal representative of the estates of Harry and Mary Perrin and as a Designated Donor Representative of the Perrin Charitable Fund, and the City of Coral Gables for the purpose of installing and maintaining exhibitions with what is now known as Perrin International Reception Hall or Perrin Hall.
Perrin Hall was originally shown on Exhibit C of the Amended and Restated Agreement as a Shared Space called the Archive Room to be used as a reading room in conjunction with the City Archives, but has never been used for that purpose.
This proposed amendment to the current agreement with the Coral Gables Museum would allow the City to have sole and exclusive use of Perrin Hall for use a reception area for visiting dignitaries, meetings with foreign consulates that are located in Coral Gables, meetings of the Arts Advisory Panel, Cultural Development Board, International Affairs Coordinating Council, and other similar uses while remaining a place to honor the City’s international relationships, particularly the Sister Cities of Coral Gables.
