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.
