City Commission Meeting
ENCLOSURES: of December 14, 1999
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution
allocating $153,500 of Twenty-fifth (25`) Year Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) funds to agencies previously identified by the City Commission at the Special
Meeting of November 30, 1999; 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 the
following motions that directed the Administration to prepare legislation for the
December 14, 1999 City Commission Meeting to allocate 25`h Year Community
Development Block Grant funds to the following Agencies:
Motion
Agency
Amount
99-911
DeHostos Senior Center
$ 16,500
99-915
Association for the Development of the
25,000
Exceptional
99-917
Small Business Opportunity Center
50,000
99-91.$
Allapattah Business Development Authority 42,000
99-919
Catholic Charities
20,000
Total
$153,500
The DeHostos Senior Center reported that the Alliance for Agency had reduced the grant
providing food for the senior center by $33,000. To maintain these critical services in the
Wynwood target area, Catholic Charities agreed to match the City to fund the $33,000
deficit. The Commission identified funds from the Public Service RFP Pool to address
this need. Therefore, the funding amount available through the RFP process in the Public
Services RFP Pool will be reduced by $16,500. Likewise, the Public Service RFP Pool
will be reduced by an additional $20,000 to meet the City Commission's intent to allocate
99- 940
$20,000 to Catholic Charities. As a result of these allocations, the Public Service RFP
Pool will be reduced from $632,195 to $595,695.
The City Commission further directed the allocations to the Association for the
Development of the Exceptional (ADE), Small Business Opportunity Center (SBOC) and
Allapattah Business Development Authority (ABDA) to be taken from the $175,000 set
aside established by the City Commission at the November 16, 1999 meeting.
Recommended funding of these agencies will reduce the City Commission set aside by
$117,000, from $175,000 to $58,000. The aforementioned allocations are intended to
meet significant needs at these organizations.
ADE is in critical need of roof repairs at its facility that is used to provide training
opportunities to exceptional adults. The allocation to SBOC is intended to continue the
fagade program west of S.W. 27`" Avenue on S.W. 8 Street. Merchants along this
business corridor have been severely impacted by recent construction on S.W. 8 Street.
ABDA has been extremely active and has established an impressive track record in the
Allapattah area and will be a pivotal organization in attracting potential federal resources
into this area, which is located in the heart of the Empowerment Zone.
In addition to the City Commission's intent to formalize the aforementioned allocations,
the City Commission further directed the Administration to provide a recommendation
regarding a funding request from Centro Hispano Catolico regarding the construction of a
community center in the Wynwood area. As you are aware, the RFP process in the 25`h
Year did not include a request for proposals from outside organizations under the Quality
of Life Enhancement (Public Facilities) category. Approved projects in these areas were
for municipal programs and to meet commitments from prior legislation adopted by the
City Commission.
The Administration does not recommend funding of this project at this time. The Centro
Hispano Catolico community center project is an extensive effort in excess of $2 million
that is in the developmental stages. At the urging of the U.S. Department of Housing and
Urban Development, the Administration is working to identify projects that can be
implemented and completed in an expeditious manner to increase spending rates in an
effort to meet the 1.5 HUD spending ratio. While funds are not available for capital
projects such as this at this time, it would also not be prudent to direct CDBG funds in
reserve for projects that are in the developmental stages and are not in a position to -be
built out. Therefore, funding for this project is not recommended.
The proposed resolution effectuates the intent of the City Commission in Motions 99-
911, 915, 917, 918 and 919 by providing allocations as detailed above, and further
authorizes the City Manager to enter into agreement with approved agencies, in a form
accepta Ie to the City Attorney.
