In addition, pursuant to the provisions of the Safe Neighborhood Parks Ordinance, the Resolution authorizes the payment of: (1) supplemental funds required to complete said projects if the costs of said projects exceed the grant allocation; (2) funds to operate, maintain and provide programming at each project upon its completion. BACKGROUND: The Safe Neighborhood Parks Bond Program includes specified and per capita allocations for all municipalities that are recipients of these funds. Each time the County sells bonds, the City of Miami has the opportunity to draw down from its specified and per capita allocations to fund park projects. Specified allocations refer to already approved fundings amounts for specific parks as stipulated by ordinance. Per Capita dollars are not assigned to specific parks by ordinance. Of the original $21,675,000 approved for the City of Miami from the $200 million Countywide Safe Neighborhood Parks Bond Program, $18 million was for specified projects and $3,675,000 was for per capita projects. In the Bond Series sold in 2002 (Bond Series 2002), the City received a total of $151,780 for four (4) projects from its specified allocation and $100,000 for one (1) project from its per capita allocation. In addition, the Safe Neighborhood Parks Bond Office solicited during 2002, applications for land acquisition interest earning projects .from available interests accumulated by previous bond proceeds. The City of Miami obtained a total of $350,000 to fund two (2) land acquisition projects from Countywide Interest Earnings. Also, this same year, the City was able to obtain funding from interest drawn from its own allocations known as Municipal Interest Earnings. This provided the City with a total of $119,217 to fund three (3) projects and to pay the costs for a construction management employee to supervise and inspect SNPB projects. 026" 963 The following is a listing of the $720,997 in grant funds being accepted by the adoption of this proposed Resolution.
