Warshaw City Manager 305 858 1610 P.06 17 SATE itiA{ — 2 2-0b:+ FILE SUBJECT Community Development Block Grant Funding Commitments REXERENCES City Commission Agenda EMCLOSUAES May 11, 2000 It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution to meet previously approved funding commitments to the Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) by allocating S1 mullion of unobligated Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds, $1 million of HOPWA funds and reprogramming $3 million of CDBG funds from previously approved Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) to the CRA and authorizes the City Manager to enter into contract with the CRA, in a form acceptable to the City Attorney; reprograms Of :�43P.0 funds from previously approved CIP Projects to the Building Department for demolition activities; establishes a strategy to prioritize CDBG funded - establishes a policy to allocate future CDBG funds to CIP projects. BACKGROUND The Department of Community Development has identified the following legislative commitments to the CRA previously approved by the City Commission: Legislation Description R-98-592 Historic Qvertown Priority Business Corridor (from reprogrammed funds, future CDBG program income and/or eligible sources) 0-11736 CRA/SEOPW Interlocal Agreement ($5 million annually for the years 2000-2004, $1 million which shall be for administrative and $4 million for CRA operational expenses) TOTAL FUNDING !Q(QMM1M NTS Funding JlTD.7j] The Administration proposes a twofold funding strategy that addresses the previous legislative commitments identified above and further creates a mechanism to expedite CDBG expenditure rates to meet the HUD concerns regarding the 1.5 fiscal year spending requirement. 60- 427 SEOPW/CRA 02 - 43 ®i�fL?1 / CAA 02- 22 MAR-18-2002 13:34 CITY CLERKS OFFICE 305 858 1610 P.07 As previously discussed in the companion item regarding the excessive amounts of funds available in the City's CDBG line of credit, the Administration cited dormant capital improvement projects (CEP) as a major factor contributing to the excessive funding ratio. Approximately $4.7 million of CDBG funds sitting in the line of credit can been attributed to dedicated allocations intended for CIP projects. In addition, approximately $1 million of unobligated funds are available in the line of credit. The Administration recommends that CEP funds be reprogrammed to meet the previously approved $3 million allocation for the Mstoric Overtown Priority Business Corridor Project awarded through the adoption of Resolution-98- 592. The Administration further recommends that an additional $2 million be allocated on a one time basis toward the five year annual commitment of $5 million to the (CRA) authorized by Ordinance 11736. This commitment is currently being partially met through allocations included under the baseline funding terms in the executed Interlocal agr•c= - ''='=r-== --obligated CDBG fund balance and $1 miIlion from available HOPWA funds. The HOPWA allocation must b-- u--_'d it a prorated level, HOPWA eligible clients. It is anticipated that the CRA is able to implement the aforementioned projects within thirty (30) days and this activity will positively impact the expenditure rate in the City's CDBG line of credit. It also addresses the funding commitments previously approved throug:= Resolution 98-592 and Ordinance 11736. The five year funding commitment generates a potential drain on future CDBG funds that are intended to provide financial assistance to improve the quality of Iife in low income --:-`� - -- '-hroughout the City of Miami. To ensure an Pcu,;tshl- ,1cet.41%%V9"^-, ^4r CDBG funds throughout those areas of the City most in need, A is recommended that the CKA :.:••:•Y::.t. a � ,tiu;e 108 Loan application to impleme grwa T1,p c=a^ - one ---'-- - - - __ �r'� .... yc�:3c:.. _, c;: ,'e_. ��,• _:�F:;,:f,.;.a= investment mechanisms to ensure umeiy loan payments and provide grants. The Administration's recommendation creates an obvious concern regarding the deobligation of CDBG funding for CIP projects. If the City Commission accepts the Administration's aforementioned recommendation to fund previously approved commitments to the CRA, a balance of $1.7 million remains from unobligated CDBG funds and previously committed funding for CIP projects. It is recommended that the $1.7 million balance be reallocated as follows; • Demolition — The Building Department has already expended the $300,000 allocation awarded for demolition activities through the 25`h Year CDBG allocation process. An additional $200,000 is needed to continue critical de^�^Ii«�- Revitali7atinn Dich•irre ir1Pretefie.A; ti a nn ��.%;A _ _- _ 36,.atea rian. iris is particularly important Q'1,:,70PW/CRA C- EV/0RA 02-- 43 02_. 22 r�Hk—lti—���� 1s s5 CI rY CLERKS OFFICE 305 858 1610 P.08 as the City moves forward with the development of,the Orchard Villas Housing Project, which has already required extensive demolition activities. • CIP Projects that can be completed by September 30, 2000 — It is recommended that the balance of funds remaining be allocated to CIP Projects that can be completed by September 30, 2000. It is critical that the funds earmarked for CIP projects be directed in accordance with this criteria and that they do not remain dormant to alleviate HUD's concern regarding the City's expenditure rate of CDBG funds. Therefore the Administration recommends the following strategy to expedite the expenditure of CDBG dollars for CIP projects: " • The Assistant City Manager responsible for Operations will prioritize previously approved CIP projects that meet the above cited criteria and submit these projects to the Department of Community Development for approval; • All bidding requirements must be met, contracts executed and performance bonds in place to ensure that projects are at a stage where construction is already ____ __ : ___`•_-__ ¢or development to meet the September 30, 2000 completion date; • The balance of funds will be committed on a priority basis as identified by the Assistant City Manager for Operations on a first come, first served basis; • CDBG funds for previously committed CEP projects that are not currently at the be allocated through _n�_..t� Af fi,.,,_ro approved by the City Commission for CIP projecia, • The establishment of a policy by the City Commission that future allocations of CDBG funds for CIP projects be limited -F.- r, the CDBG year that the project is approved.
