SUBJECT: Allocation of 28th Year CDBG
funds for public Services
REFERENCES Special City Commission Meeting
ENCLOSURES July 8, 2002
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution
allocating $1,928,400 of 28th Year Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program
funds and $960,000 of program income in the category of Public Services to the agencies
specified herein for the 28th Year Program Year beginning October 1, 2002; and further
authorizing the City Manager to enter agreement with said agencies for said purpose, in a form
acceptable to the City Attorney, subject to applicable City Code provisions.
BACKGROUND:
Under the entitlement formula, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
has advised the City that the projected Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
entitlement for the 28th Program Year, which commences October 1, 2002, will be $12,856,000.
In accordance with federal regulations, 15% of this amount, $1,928,400, may be directed to the
Public Services category. Federal regulations further allow a grant recipient to allocate 15% of
its prior year program income for Public Services. In the 27th Year, the Administration estimates
will receive approximately $6.5 million of program income, which would provide the option of
dedicating that the City of Miami an additional $960,000 in the Public Services category.
The Department of Community Development has completed its analysis of 28`h Year CDBG
proposals submitted by community organizations competing for available CDBG funds for
public services.
The initial stage of the review process included a sufficiency assessment to determine the legal
qualifications of competing organizations, completeness of proposals submitted, default status
relating to previous financial obligations to the City and the Internal Revenue Service and
compliance issues pertaining to agencies currently under contract with the City of Miami.
As a result of the staff analysis, Attachment A includes those proposals that were initially
determined to be ineligible based on the aforementioned criteria and were eliminated from
further review consideration These agencies were formally advised in writing of the staff
determination and provided the opportunity to appeal their case to an independent, impartial
three (3) member panel comprised of representatives of the Departments of Planning, Asset
02- 772
Management and Real Estate and Economic Development. Attachment B includes those
Agencies and that were determined to be eligible for funding consideration through the original
staff review and also those agencies which were successful through the appeals process and,
likewise, were determined to be eligible for funding consideration.
As anticipated, the response to the RFP process was overwhelming. The Department of
Community Development received funding requests totaling just over $9 million from
competing organizations in the Public Services category. As a result, the initial screening
process included the recommendation that agencies submitting proposals in the service
categories of job training and development be referred to the South Florida Employment and
Training Consortium, projects proposing crime prevention activities be referred to the Law
Enforcement Trust Fund. In addition, mental health/substance abuse programs were identified as
a non-priority category of service. Through the Public Hearing process in each of the five (5)
City Commission Districts, it was evident that programs for the elderly and/or disabled were
universally identified as the primary need throughout the City of Miami.
In addition, the City Commission provided clear direction to the Administration that its funding
recommendation should be based on the specific needs of each District and must be
representative of the HUD formula allocation distribution by District, which is as follows:
District 1 —
20%
District 2 —
16%
District 3 —
23%
District 4 —
15%
District 5 —
26%
Total 100%
In the Public Services category, $1,928,400 was available for allocation through the RFP
process. The Administration's recommendation is based on a strategy that maintains the
following basic norms, in addition to the basic eligibility criteria previously cited in this
memorandum:
• Existing projects must attain satisfactory performance measures to be considered for
funding
• Employment related projects are referred to the South Florida Employment and Training
Consortium for funding consideration and crime prevention proposals to the Law
Enforcement Trust Fund
• Mental health and substance abuse proposals were determined to be low priority service
categories
• To be eligible for funding, a proposal must receive a minimum score of 70
• The funding recommendation takes into consideration specific District needs and is
predicated on the HUD formula allocation distribution by District
It is important to note that the 27th Year is the third and final year of the Public Service cap
waiver authorized by the U.S. Congress for the City of Miami. Federal regulations typically
limit the amount of CDBG funds that can be directed to public service activities to 15% of an
02- 772
entitlement community's annual CDBG allocation. Congress authorized a temporary increase in
the City of Miami's Public Service cap to 25% for a three (3) year period. Beginning in the 28`h
CDBG Year, which will commence October 1, 2002, the City's Public Service cap will revert
back to the 15% level, which, in effect, will mean a 10% reduction in funds available for Public
Services in the 28'h Year.
As a result of this reduction, funding available in the public services category through the basic
entitlement will be reduced by $1,358,600, from $3,287,000 to $1,928,400. As previously
stated, Federal regulations further allow a grant recipient to allocate 15% of its prior year
program income for Public Services. To minimize the impact of the cap reduction, the
Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the policy to utilize 15% of 27`h
Year program income for this purpose in the 28`h Year, which will provide an additional
$960,000 in the Public Services category, for a total of $2,888,400. By implementing this
policy, the reduction will be just under $400,000 rather than $1,358,600. The Administration's
funding recommendation is based on the expanded allocation, including program income.
The Administration's funding recommendation in the Public Services category is included as
Attachment B. Please note that the Administration's recommendation includes a public services
set-aside of $40,000 in each Commission District to provide discretionary funds to meet special
needs, as identified by each respective City Commissioner. It is also important to note that, as
directed by the City Commission, there was a Special RFP in District 5 to solicit applications for
the District 5 set-aside. The following proposals were received through the District 5 Special
Application process:
Agency Amount
Catholic Community Charities of the
$40,000
Archdiocese of Miami, Inc./Notre Dame
Childcare Center (missed deadline for
original RFP)
Liberty City Optimist Club of Florida, Inc.
20,000
Recruitment and Training Project
(amount not
Economic Development Corporation, Inc.
specified)
Stein Gerontological Institute, Inc.
40,000
Finally, at its meeting of June 27, 2002, the City Commission adopted legislation to establish a
District 5 Public Services Reserve Fund to provide assistance for collaborative activities in
District 5 parks to implement programs for the elderly and youth and also to establish after
school programs to tutor youth from the "F" rated schools located in District 5. The
Administration's recommendation includes $200,984 for the District 5 Public Services Reserve
Fund.
It is recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution allocating $1,928,400
of 28`h Year Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program funds and $960,000 of
program income to support Public Service activities for the 28`h Year Program Year beginning
02- 77 3
October 1, 2002, and further authorizes the City Manager to enter into agreement with approved
agencies in a form acceptable to the City Attorney, subject to applicable City Code provisions.
The proposed Resolution allocates CDBG grant funds and does not have a budgetary
impact on the General Fund.

With the Mobile Unit a realization, the
reality of costs of operating and
maintaining the unit are now forefront.
C All -Aboard is eagerly looking for finan-
cial # � cal backrng to support the mobile unit.
In addition, it is very important that
quality tutors are aboard the mobile unit

currently pursuing degrees in education. In
some instances, volunteer service aboard

As the Supervisor for Miami -Dade County Public Schools' Bureau of Community Services, I would like to
take this opportunity to say "thank you," and also to congratulate you on the success of CPC/All-Aboard
Educational Services. We have been very excited to watch the development of All -Aboard since 1988. Your
tutors and mentors have always provided quality one-on-one tutoring and mentoring to our neediest
kindergarten and first grade students in Miami -Dade County. Your assistance and the dedication of your
volunteers has helped many of our young children build strong academic foundations that translates into
increased success and realized potential.
The collaborations between high school groups and elementary schools has also shown a dedication to not
only help kindergarten and first grade students, but also to provide quality opportunities to help our high
school youth gain valuable experience as leaders in our community. This is a wonderful way to build a source
of volunteers dedicated to the future success of our children and our education system.
Recently, the CPC/All-Aboard Educational Mobile Unit has filled a gap at four of our inner-city schools.
The marked difference in both the attitude and academic success of the kindergarten and first grade students
participating aboard the mobile unit is truly incredible. We are very lucky to be receiving the benefits of
such an innovative and effective literacy program.
The CPC/All-Aboard Educational Mobile Unit has also brought families together, educating parents on the
importance of teaching and encouraging literacy in the home. Activities that include the entire family will
make a lasting difference in the lives of our children.
The Bureau of Community Services at M-DCPS is very proud to be working with CPC/All-Aboard
Educational Services. We look forward to a continued and successful partnership. Please let me know if
there is anything that our office can do to support your efforts, and thank you for your dedication to
improving the lives of children in Miami -Dade County Public Schools.
Sincerely,

Thank you for including Santa Clara Elementary School as one of your
target schools for the CPC/All-Aboard Educational Mobile Unit for the past
two (2) years. The kindergarten and first grade students who participate
with your program are very excited to go "aboard" and work on the
computers and interact with the tutors/mentors. The Mobile Unit is a very
creative and attractive device which increases the students' enthusiasm
as they board each week.
Thank you again for allowing Santa Clara Elementary to participate with
the CPC/All-Aboard Educational Unit. With a combined effort, we
anticipate a significant impact toward improving the lives and future of our
children.

The City of ;Miami Police Department would like to .take this opportunity to thank the Children
Psychiatric Center/All-Aboard Educational Services for providing us the opportunity to participate
with the Mobile Unit.
Through the participation of our officers at the mobile unit schools; AHapattah Elementary, Santa
Clara Elementary, and Phillis Wheatley EIementary, we are able to introduce safety training to
small groups of children. Not only does this teach the importance of "being safe," but it also gives
us the chance to form a relationship with the children and their families based on positive
interaction.
We are committed to this collaboration and feel extremely lucky to have been involved with the
CPC/All-Aboard Educational Mobile Unit since its inception. We look forward to a continued
partnership between CPC/All-Aboard and the City of Nliami Police Department
