INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: The Honorable Mayor and DATE: FILE:
Members of the City Commission JUL 17 20)1
SUBJECT-. Transfer of HOPWA Funds
from the CRA
FROM: C rie REFERENCES: City Commission Meeting
City Manager y ENCLOSURES: July 26, 2001
At its meeting of July 10, 2001, the City Commission directed the Administration to schedule a
discussion item for the July 26, 2001 City Commission meeting regarding the transfer of $$1
million of Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS (HOPWA) funds and replacing these
funds with a substitute source.
The City Commission adopted Resolution No. 00-427 May 11, 2000 that allocated $1 million of
HOPWA funds to the CRA. At the time of the award, it was anticipated that the CRA would be
able to expend the HOPWA allocation on eligible housing activities that would benefit, at a
prorated level, participants in the HOPWA Program in accordance with federal regulations.
However, subsequent to the HOPWA funding award by the City Commission, it has been
determined that it is unlikely that the CRA will be able to identify eligible activities to meet the
federal requirements of the HOPWA Programa As a result, the CRA requested the City to
consider replacing the previously approved allocation of HOPWA funds with a substitute
funding source. The switch of funding sources is intended to provide the flexibility for the CRA
to address its financial needs while enabling the City to expend the HOPWA funds in accordance
with federal regulations.
In response to this request, the Administration is in the process of conducting a financial impact
analysis to determine the feasibility of replacing the HOPWA allocation with an alternate source
and identifying possible options to address this request.
It is anticipated that the options developed as a result of the financial impact analysis will be
presented for City Commission consideration at the July 26`h City Commission meeting.
Through this analysis, the Administration will be able to address the financial needs of the City
and the CRA to best meet the needs of the residents of the City of Miami.
If staff determines that it is feasible to replace the HOPWA funds with an alternate source and
there is no negative impact on the City's operating budget, then the Administration will identify
specific funds for the transfer at the July 26`h meeting and recommend that the City Commission
approve the replacement.

ENCLOSURES.
Staff has brought to my attention the request of the CRA for the City of Miami to consider
replacing the previously approved allocation of HOPWA funds in the amount of $1 million with
a substitute funding source. At the time of the award, it was anticipated that the CRA would be
able to expend the HOPWA allocation on eligible housing activities that would benefit, at it
prorated level, participants in the HOPWA Program.
However, subsequent to the HOPWA funding award by the City Commission, it has been
determined that it is unlikely that the CRA will be able to identify eligible activities to meet the
federal requirements of the HOPWA Program, thus resulting in the request to switch the
HOPWA allocation with another source.
In response to this request, I have instructed staff to conduct a financial impact analysis to
determine the feasibility of replacing the HOPWA allocation with an alternate source and
identifying possible options to address this request. Over the next several weeks, staff will be
conducting this assessment.
It is anticipated that the options developed as a result of' the financial impact analysis will be
presented for City Commission consideration as pan of the Administration's budget presentation
in September. I am hopeful that, through this analysis, the Administration will be able to address
the financial needs of the City and the CRA and best meet the needs of the residents of the City
of Miami.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions pertaining to this matter.
