Those negotiations ended when Negroni pursued <br />an additional location in Aventura that demanded a non -compete clause within a certain radius. <br />Fortuitously, the city was able to attract Crema Gourmet Espresso Bar at a better rate and conditions <br />than what Negroni was offering. Crema is a much better fit and is a proven success in similar <br />neighborhoods such as Brickell, Pinecrest and Coral Gables. Serving breakfast and coffee all day, as well <br />as a variety of lunch and dinner options, it is the right fit for a city owned property adjacent to the <br />Government Center. <br />Crema has signed a Letter of Intent with the City and at this time we are requesting approval to move <br />forward with negotiating a lease agreement with Crema to bring back to you for final approval. <br />FUNDING SOURCE: <br />No funds are required for approval of this item. <br />ATTACHMENTS: <br />Resolution <br />Item Number: 10.T <br />352 <br />
