City Commission Agenda Item
ENCLOSURES: July 14, 1998
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission approve the attached resolution, authorizing
the City Manager to execute an amendment, in a form acceptable to the City Attorney, to the 1998-
1999 economic development, community -based organization agreement with the Small Business
Opportunity Center, Inc. (SBOC), to provide an additional $50,000, to assist the agency in providing
an increased level of services, regarding the technical assistance that SBOC provides to businesses in
the Little Havana community.
BACKGROUND:
The Department of Community Development has analyzed the need to amend the 1998-1999
economic development agreement with SBOC, in order to provide an additional $50,000 from
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Contingency funds.
On June 9, 1998, the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 98-552, which provides funding to
the economic development agencies for the 1998-1999 contract period. SBOC was awarded the
amount of $100,000 on a base level of $50,000 plus incentives.
Last year, the City Commission authorized an increase in SBOC's base level of funding from
$50,000 to $75,000, to assist the agency in providing technical assistance to Little Havana businesses,
that result in the creation and retention of jobs.
Since SBOC has increased the number of technical assistance and national objectives completed this
year from 9 to 38, the additional $50,000 will allow the agency to maintain the increased level of
economic v lopment services being provided in the community.
