Warshaw City Manager RECONI IENDATION: DATE: j,J ! �^ .�� . FILE SUBJECT: Resolution Accepting Grants for Developmentally Disabled REFERENC&Pgram' ENCLOSURES: It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution accepting two grants, one from the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) in the estimated amount of $17,132 and another one in the estimated amount of $255,667 from the State of Florida Agency for Healthcare Administration, Medicaid Program Development (AHCA). These grants are to fund programs for the developmentally disabled administered by the Parks and Recreation Department during the period of July 1, 1999 through June 30, 2000. The Resolution also authorizes the City Manager to execute the necessary documents for this purpose. BACKGROUND: The Department of Parks and Recreation, through its Programs for Persons with Disabilities, has received grant funds from the State of Florida Department of Children and Families for the past twenty-one (21) years. 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, 1999 through June 30, 2000. 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. q9_ e9V I.— IL T Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission Page 2 The DCF grant requires a minimum 12.5% local match. This year the City is providing more than the minimum match required which is estimated to be in the amount of $24,045 from salaries and program expenditures already allocated in the existing General Fund Operating Budget of the Department of Parks and Recreation, Programs for Persons with Disabilities Division. This Resolution is a companion item to an accompanying ordinance which appropriates said grants to a spe al revenug fund for the Department of Parks and Recreation. DHWZ. s VQPIj 9.7 — e3CS t-
