Warshaw City Commission Meeting City Manager ENCLOSURES: of December 14, 1999 RECOMMENDATION It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution allocating $124,998 of Twenty-fifth (25`h) Year Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds to provide an opportunity for technical assistance and capacity building to three (3) Agencies previously funded under the housing category that had not met programmatic service requirements in the 24 h Year; and further authorizing the City Manager to enter into agreement with approved agencies, in a form acceptable to the City Attorney. BACKGROUND At its Special Meeting of November 30, 1999, the City Commission approved Motion 99-913 that directed the Administration to prepare legislation for the December 14, 1999 City Commission Meeting to extend funding through September 30, 2000 of three (3) agencies that had not met programmatic funding requirements in the 24`h Year. The purpose of this allocation is to provide capacity building and extensive technical assistance for these organizations to become viable and productive in developing affordable housing opportunities in the future to residents from the communities served by these agencies. The following table provides an overview of 25`h Year Community Development funding for the three (3) organizations recommended for funding under this category: Approved Recommended Funding Funding October- December- Total Agency November September Funding Coconut Grove LDC $8,334 $41,666 $50,000 Edgewater Economic Development Corp. $8,334 $41,666 $50,000 Rafael I3emudez Housing and Economic $8,334 $41,6.�6 $50,000 Development Corporation 9 9 -. :� Since the intent of this allocation is to provide an opportunity for these agencies to capacity build and seek technical assistance to strengthen their ability to develop effective affordable housing programs, these organizations will not be eligible to compete for other housing related funds in the 25`h Year. It is anticipated that the training provided to these agencies through this grant will provide background for these organizations to effectively develop affordable housing projects and will enable them to compete for funding in the future. The Department of Community Development will negotiate a Work Program with each agency that identifies specific training strategies to be followed by each Agency. Subsequently, monitoring will be based on each agency's compliance with the Work Program. As directed by the City Commission, the Administration will exercise its authority to terminate the contract if performance requirements are not met. The City Commission directed the Administration to fund the previously identified agencies from the Housing RFP Pool. If approved, the Housing RFP pool will be reduced by $124,998, leaving a balance of $869,970 available for allocation through the RFP process. The proposed resolution effectuates the intent of the City Commission in Motion 99-913 by providing individual allocations of $41,666 to the Coconut Grove Local Development Corporation, Edgewater Economic Development Corporation and Rafael Hernandez Housing and Economic Development Corporation for technical assistance and capacity building activities and further authorizes the City Manager to enter into agreement with approved agencies, in a form acceptable to the City Attorney.
