FILE :
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 $20,956 and another one in the estimated amount of $296,862 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, 1998 through June 30, 1999.
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
Division, has received grant funds from the State of Florida Department of Children and Families
for the past twenty (20) 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
community awareness and transportation services to more than ninety-nine (99) 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 these grant funds. The contract period for the
grants will run from July 1, 1998 through June 30, 1999.
To serve as many as ninety nine (99) clients, funds from both State grants are combined to cover
two (2) interrelated programs offered by the Parks Department's Program for Persons with
Disabilities Division. The non -rehabilitation services program provides for thirty (30) 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-nine (69) 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.
The DCF grant requires a 12.5% local match in an estimated amount of $2,619 which may be
provided 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 appropriating said grant
funds to a special revenue fund for the Department of Parks and Recreation.
