SUBJECT: Emergency
Ordinance for

FROM: � Carlos A . Gimene z REFERENCES: for Children -2001
City Manager ENCLOSURES:
RECOMMENDATION:
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission
adopt the attached emergency ordinance to create a new
Special Revenue Fund and to appropriate grant funds in the
estimated amount of $266,670, to be received from the United
States Department of Agri -culture (USDA) to conduct a summer
food service program. for youth aged 18 and under from June
18, 2001 through August 17, 2001.
BACKGROUND:
Each year since 1968, the Department of Parks and Recreation
has sponsored a Summer Food Service Program for children.
Under this program, the City provides nutritional meals in
conjunction with its comprehensive recreational program
featuring arts and crafts, sporting activities, field trips
and special events. This year, we plan to serve up to 1,666
lunches and 2,356 snacks per -day using no less than twenty-
eight (28) sites throughout the City.
Based on 2000 program totals, we estimate that 75,000
lunches and 106,000 snacks will be served during the
upcoming summer program. These figures average out to 1,666
lunches and 2,356 snacks each day for the 45 day program.
Funding is provided to the City from a USDA grant through
Florida's Department of Education (DOE). This year's grant
is estimated at $266,670 based on last year's meals figures
and reimbursement rates of $2.23 for lunch and $.52 for
afternoon supplements (snacks), as well as appropriate
administrative expenses. This rate will provide sufficient
funds to cover the meal cost and to hire the necessary
temporary, part-time recreation aides to operate the
program. The final grant award amount will be made
available by Florida's Department of Education in April
2001. This grant does not require matching funds.

This Ordinance is being presented as an emergency item
because the department was just recently informed of the
availability of grant funds; the need to meet the State of
Florida established time constraints, deadlines for contract
execution, and to ensure that funds are in place prior to
the start of the Summer,Program on June 18, 2001.
This item is companion to a resolution, which would
authorize -the purchase of food from through the inclusion of
the City's program requirements in the Miami -Dade County
competitive bid package that allows vendors to offer Summer
lunches and supplements at a rate lower than that which the
Cit of Miami could obtain under.a separate bid.
