City of Miami Citizen Participation Plan
Federal regulations governing Community Planning and Development programs require
the establishment of a system through which community residents can participate in the
planning, implementation and evaluation of Block Grant funding activities.
The Citizen Participation Plan is designed to provide City of Miami residents the
opportunity to be actively involved in the planning, implementation, and assessment of
community needs to be addressed through the City's grants provided by the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD). These grant programs include the Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), Housing
Opportunities for Persons with AIDS (HOPWA) and Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG).
While residents will have an opportunity to provide input to the City of Miami regarding
the above-mentioned programs, final authority regarding program policies and specific funding
allocations rests exclusively with the City of Miami Commission and residents do not have the
authority to exercise veto power over the City Commission's decisions regarding the programs.
The goal of the Citizen Participation Plan is designed to increase citizen participation,
reduce isolation from government, and receive input from residents regarding the block grant
programs projects and activities.
Low and moderate income residents and members of minority groups, as well as business
and civic groups, will be included in citizen participation process through involvement in public
forums and hearings. The City of Miami is committed to seek a strategy to encourage the fullest
participationpossible, including a Plan that exceeding the minimum federal requirements.
Citizens are encouraged to participate in the development of the consolidated plan, amendments
to the plan and to comment on performance reports relating to the City's grants.

citizens to adequately and intelligently participate in the planning process and implementation of
the block grant projects and activities. The City of Miami will also provide technical assistance
to groups of residents in blighted neighborhoods and groups of low-to—moderate income

INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and
f the City Commission
FROM: arshaw
City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
DATE: _ [ LU v FILE
SUBJECT: Citizen Participation
Process
REFERENCES: City Commission Agenda
May 11, 2000
ENCLOSURES:
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution
approving a Citizen Participation Plan to be effective beginning with the planning process
for the 26ffi Year of the Community Development Program and other programs funded
through the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD).
BACKGROUND:
Federal regulations governing entitlement grants received by the City of Miami through
the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) require the City to
adopt a Citizen Participation Plan that ensures that citizens are actively involved in the
planning and allocation process of HUD related grants.
The existing Citizen Participation Plan has not been reexamined or revised in many years.
As you are aware, the Plan in effect includes a Citywide Advisory Board that has
historically served in an advisory capacity to the City Commission since the inception of
the program twenty-five (25) years ago. At full capacity, the Advisory Board is
comprised of an eighteen (18) member panel that includes eight (8) representatives
elected at the neighborhood level from each of the traditional CDBG target areas, and
two (2) appointments from each City Commissioner.
The Advisory Board has typically convened neighborhood meetings throughout the years
and listened to citizen input and organizational presentations while also deliberating and
developing a funding recommendation for the use of Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG), HOME and Emergency Shelter Grant (ESG) funds. A separate Board
conducts the advisory function relating to the Housing Opportunities for Persons With
AIDS Program (HOPWA).
Through the years, members of the Advisory Board have contributed countless hours of
invaluable voluntary service and demonstrated an unparalleled commitment to this City
to improve the quality of life for those most in need. At the same time, just as the City
has changed in the last twenty-five (25) years, it has become apparent that the role of the
Advisory Board has also changed. In recent years, there have been numerous occasions
when the Board has been unable to conduct business due to the lack of a quorum. Citizen
participation in the neighborhood election process has been minimal. At the most recent
target area election, only four (4) residents were present and voted to elect the target area
representative.
In an attempt to increase citizen involvement in the Consolidated Plan process, the
Department of Community Development initiated a citizen participation endeavor that
integrated public hearings at the District levels that were jointly chaired by the City
Commissioner representing each District and the Chairperson of the Citywide Advisory
Board. The District Public Hearings in all five (5) City Districts were extremely
successful and well attended and the City Commission's participation in the process was
the catalyst that contributed to the increased participation by neighborhood residents.
Following the 25th Year process, staff met with the Chairperson of the Citywide Advisory
Board to discuss the citizen participation process and it was mutually agreed that it is
necessary to revise the existing plan to more effectively encourage active citizen
involvement. It was further concurred that the timing is appropriate to replace the
existing Advisory Board system with a process that includes the neighborhood meetings
at the District levels and the required public hearing before the City Commission. • The
District Public Hearings will be chaired by the City Commissioner representing each
District or his/her designee. The purpose of the District Public Hearing is to determine
community needs and solicit neighborhood input. With the elimination of the Advisory
Board, the Administration will be responsible for coordinating the public hearing process.
The revised Citizen Participation Plan (attached) will comply with federal regulations.
For your convenience, attached, you will find a copy of the federal regulations pertaining
to Citizen Participation and Consultation.
The proposed Resolution recommended for approval revises the Citizen Participation
Plan and
/^abolishes the Citywide AdvisoryBoard.
