City Commission Agenda Items
= =' January 12, 1999
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached ordinance and
resolution repealing City of Miami Code Article XI, Division 8, entitled "Housing Opportunities for
Persons With AIDS Advisory Board." The attached resolution also authorizes and directs the City
Manager to initiate the appropriate action necessary for the City of Miami to join and participate in
the newly established Miami -Dade HIV/AIDS Partnership. The attached resolution further
authorizes and directs the City Manager to provide administrative assistance to the Miami -Dade
HIV/AIDS Partnership and appoints the Ciity's representative to the Partnership in its advisory role
to the City Commission regarding the HOPWA Program.
BACKGROUND:
Pursuant to City Ordinance No. 11379, adopted July 11, 1996, the Housing Opportunities for
Persons With AIDS (HOPWA) Advisory Board (City's HOPWA Advisory Board) was created to
ensure an advisory capacity and ensure effective planning, implementation and annual assessment
of the HOPWA grant subrecipients. The City's HOPWA Advisory Board was also established to
encourage effective citizen participation by persons with HIV/AIDS and their families, and to
increase governmental responsiveness by providing information and assistance about the HOPWA
Program to interested citizens from the greater Miami community.
During 1997, representatives of the four (4) existing planning bodies responsible for the distribution
of HIV/A.IDS resources (the State of Florida, Miami -Dade County, the Public Health Trust and the
City of Miami) participated in a community based process to develop recommendations to
streamline the planning and administrative functions of the HIV/AIDS service delivery system.
This process Nvas culminated by the convening of an HIV/AIDS Summit on May 30, 1997. At the
Summit, it was recommended that a consolidated Board be created to replace the four (4) existing
planning bodies.
On September 3, 1998, the Board of County Commissioners adopted Ordinance No. 98-127, which
created the Miami -Dade MWAIDS Partnership. The HOPWA Advisory Board and the
33
a
The Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Commission

City Administration recommend that the City join and participate in the Partnership to provide
advisory support to the City Commission relating to the HOPWA Program. The Partnership Mll
assume the responsibilities previously performed by the City's HOPWA Advisory Board.
Therefore, this action necessitates the abolition of the City's HOPWA Advisory Board. The
attached legislation serves to accomplish this objective.
The Miami -Dade County Ordinance, No. 98-127 requires that three (3) representatives from the
Housing Opportunities for Persons With AIDS Program are to consist of one (1) each from the City
of Hialeah, City of Miami, and the City of Miami Beach and are to be appointed as voting members
to the new Miami -Dade HIV/AIDS Partnership. The attached resolution further recommends the
appointment of Ms. Sharlene Adelman, HOPWA Program Manager in the Department of
Community Development as the representative from the City of Miami to the Miami -Dade
HIV/AIDS Partnership.
In an effort to improve program coordination and to reduce administrative and planning costs in the
service delivery of housing assistance and housing related services to very low income persons
living with HIV/AIDS, it is recommended that the City Commission approve the attached
emergency ordinance and related resolution.
