The reallocated funds will be used to fund staffing/expenses of ITB associated with the Empowerment Zone implementation. BACKGROUND: Resolution No. 98-636 adopted by the City Commission on June 23, 1998 authorized and directed the City Manager to pursue a joint Empowerment Zone application with Miami -Dade County. It further directed the City Manager to assign and/or hire additional staff and to engage professional consultants to provide additional support to the application process. An amount of $100,000 for hiring additional staff and an amount not to exceed $100,000 for professional consultant fees was allocated from Community Development Block Grant funds. On January 13, 1999, Vice President Gore announced the designation of a Miami/Miami-Dade Empowerment Zone. At that time, $88,000 of the funds allocated pursuant to Resolution No. 98-636 for hiring additional staff, remained unspent. On April 27, 1999, through Resolution No. 99-287, the City Commission reallocated the remaining $88,000 for additional staffing for the implementation of the Empowerment Zone. It has been determined that implementation of the Empowerment Zone will require ITB staff support. Therefore, it is requested that $20,000 of the remaining $88,000 for implementation staffing be reallocated to the International Trade Board for its support of this important initiative.
