These grants are to fund programs for the developmentally disabled administered by the Parks and Recreation Department during the period of July 1, 2000 through June 30, 2001. The Resolution also authorizes the City Manager to execute the necessary documents for this purpose. BACKGROUND: For the past twenty-two (22) years, the Department of Parks and Recreation—Programs for Persons with Disabilities has received funds from the State of Florida Department of Children and Families. Since 1993, the State of Florida Agency for Healthcare Administration Medicaid Program Development has provided grant funds for this Program. The State disburses the grant funds based on actual number of clients serviced. The grant amounts referenced are estimates based on previous years figures. These monies are used to provide Adult Day Training, community awareness and transportation services to more than ninety-one (91) developmentally disabled adults on a weekly basis. Due to the high quality of service provided by the City of Miami, the State of Florida has again awarded grant funds. The contract period for the grants will run from July 1, 2000 through June 30, 2001. To serve as many as ninety-one (91) clients, funds from both State funding sources are combined to cover two (2) interrelated programs offered by the Parks Department's Program for Persons with Disabilities. The Adult Day Training program provides for twenty-seven (27) clients, thirty (30) hours per week, a non -work oriented program, giving instruction in such skills as telling time, transacting money, and learning independent living skills. The second program provides for non-residential habilitation services to a minimum of sixty-four (64) clients, on the average of eight (8) hours per month. Specific activities in this program include dances, bowling, movies and special events. Additionally, clients are educated on socialization skills, interpersonal relationships, and peer interaction. The Programs for Persons with Disabilities Division also provides the clients with transportation to the various programs and activity sites. 00.
