It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution
rolling over $40,416 of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds previously
approved for the Coconut Grove Local Development Corporation, Inc. to Fiscal Year
2001-2002, and further authorizing the City Manager to amend the existing contract
between the City of Miami and said Agency by extending the termination date to
September 30, 2002, in a form acceptable to the City Attorney.
BACKGROUND:
In response to the Audit Report issued by the U.S. Office of the Inspector General and
through the City's effort to improve its internal financial management and reporting
systems, particularly as it pertains to the City's federal grant programs, the
Administration has established a process that closes accounts that have been completed at
the end of the fiscal year and rolls over funds to the next fiscal year for activities that
have not been completed.
At the City Commission meeting of February 15, 2001, the Coconut Grove Local
Development Corporation, Inc. received a mid -year allocation of $100,000 from
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to provide economic development
activities in the Coconut Grove Community Revitalization District.
Since this was a mid -year allocation, the Agency expended just over $59,500 from the
$100,000 allocation. The Administration recommends that the balance of $40,416
remaining from the original allocation be continued into the current year to enable the
organization to operate through September 30, 2002.
Budget Impact Analysis
Funding for the Coconut Grove Local Development Corporation, Inc. is available from
previously approved CDBG grant allocation to this Agency and will not impact the
General Fund.
