DIAZ, MAYOR 02- 879 CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission - • �r�i ////ice INV .: RECOMMENDATION: DATE: JUL 12 LUJL FILE : SUBJECT: Continuation of 281h Year CDBG Allocation for Economic Development Activities REFERENCES: ENCLOSURES:City Commission Meeting July 25, 2002 It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission amend Resolution No. 02-774, adopted at the Special City Commission Meeting of 28of July 8, 2002, relating to the allocation of $2,223,400 th Year Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Program funds in the Economic Development category, by allocating $400,000 of 28th Year CDBG funds in the Economic Development category to the specified agencies listed herein from District 2 for the 28th Program Year beginning October 1, 2002; and further authorizing the City Manager to enter into agreement with said agencies for said purpose, in a form acceptable to the City Attorney, subject to applicable City Code provisions. BACKGROUND: At the July 8, 2002 Special City Commission Public Hearing discussion on Economic Development activities, the City Commission adopted legislation allocating $2,223,400 of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds in the Economic Development category. Due to a combination of factors, which included a distribution strategy that allocated available funds based on the HUD distribution formula by City Commission District and the $287,000 decrease in the City's CDBG grant, District 2 experienced a dramatic 53% reduction of CDBG funds available in the Economic Development Category. In an attempt to mitigate the impact of this funding loss in District 2, the City Commission reduced the Administration's funding recommendation in the area of grant management by $138,400 and moved those funds to address District 2 economic development needs. At the Public Hearing, the District 2 Commissioner further indicated that sufficient time had not been provided to develop a funding strategy to most effectively meet the economic development needs with available CDBG funds in District 2. The Administration indicated that it could establish a contingency fund in the Annual Action Plan to provide economic development activities in District 2 and that the specific activities could be identified at a future City Commission meeting. The City Commission adopted the proposed economic development recommendation, as revised, which included an allocation of $400,000 to District 2 Economic Development Projects, as suggested by the Administration. The District 2 Commissioner further indicated that he would identify specific Economic 02-- 879 Development activities from the available funding stream at the July 25, 2002 City Commission meeting and these activities are identified in the proposed, amended resolution, which includes funding for Downtown Miami Partnerships, Inc., Edgewater Economic Development Corp., Inc. and Rafael Hernandez Housing and Economic Development Corporation. The Administration further recommends that the allocations to the Edgewater Economic Development Corp., Inc. and Rafael Hernandez Housing and Economic Development Corporation be contingent on satisfactory resolution of the following issues: Edgewater Economic Development Corp., Inc. — The contract between the City and Greater Miami Neighborhoods, Inc. (GMN) required this agency to provide technical assistance and support to assist Edgewater Economic Development Corp., Inc. in completing two (2) affordable single family residences. Due to cash flow difficulties at Edgewater Economic Development, GMN provided a construction loan of approximately $31,000 to complete the homes. The Administration recommends that the contract be awarded contingent on the repayment of the aforementioned loan; and Rafael Hernandez Housing and Economic Development Corporation — This Agency is in the process of reconciling outstanding tax issues with the Internal Revenue Service. The Administration recommends that the contract be awarded contingent on the tax situation being settled with the IRS. It is recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution amending Resolution No. 02-774 by allocating $400,000 of 28th Year CDBG funds in the Economic Development category to the specified agencies listed herein from District 2 for the 28th 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. The proposed Resolution allocates CDBG grant funds and does not have a budgetary impact on the General Fund. 1 ? • 1 t s. , t' Sunday, Ju iy 14, 2002 .PUBLIC NOTICE FOR PUBLIC HEARING REGARDING COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ISSUES � o.y The Miami Cilyy Comrni�ion wip hold a Pudic o discuss the bfo mQ +teems rotating to 9re a Development filOdn Grant Proogram ct C 1.
