These projects represent $4,513,945 in funding requests. The applications will be reviewed by the Safe Neighborhood Parks Citizen Advisory Committee in January, 2001. Miami -Dade County will then proceed to sell the necessary bonds to fund the approved projects. It is anticipated that the funding for these improvements will be available some time during the Summer of 2001. These projects will be presented for City Commission ratification and appropriation as soon as possible after they are approved by the County. Funds for these projects come from the originally approved City of Miami allocation of $21,675,000, of which $18 million were for specified projects and $3,675,000 were for unspecified improvements (not assigned to any specific park). If these new applications totaling $4,513,945 are approved, we would then have approval to expend $18,290,745 (84%) of our total allocation of $21,675,000. Out of this amount, $14,806,650 (82%) is for specified projects and $3,484,095 (95%) is for unspecified improvements. It should be noted that besides the $21,675,000 originally allocated, we have been successful in securing additional Safe Neighborhood Parks Bond Program funding in the amount of $2,364,900 for the following projects: a total of $1,793,900 in Challenge Grants for Jose Marti, Shenandoah, Hadley, Virrick and Simpson Parks; $109,000 from our municipal bond interest earnings for Lemon City Park; $227,000 in general municipal bond interest earnings for Virrick Gym and Allapattah Mini Park; and $235,000 in general municipal bond interest earnings to hire temporary staff to manage our construction projects.
