It is fespectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached resolution which
increases the 24"' Year Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) allocation to three (3)
Agencies funded under the Public Services Category. The attached resolution increases the
allocation to Southwest Social Services, Inc. by $1,003 (from $75,000 to $76,003), to Allapattah

Inc. by $500 (from $172,337 to $172,887) and further authorizes the City Manager to amend the
existing Agreements with the aforesaid Agencies in a form acceptable to the City Attorney.
BACKGROUND:
At its meeting of April 14, 1998, the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 98-402.1 which
allocated 24' Year CDBG funds to various CDBG projects. Included in the final allocations
were the following agencies funded under the Public Services Category:
A) Allapattah Community Action, Inc. - $303,530
B) DeHostos Senior Center, Inc. - $172,337
C) Southwest Social Services, Inc. - $75,000
During the discussion of public services, the Commissioners agreed that each Commissioner
would be given the opportunity to allocate $25,000 to specific social service projects to be taken
from $126,027 included in the line, "Reserve for Commission Disposal", of the Staff
Recommendation. Commissioners Teele and Hernandez made recommendations fully allocating
their $25,000 allotments. However, the recommendations of Commissioners Plummer, Regalado
and Gort did not reach the $25,000 limit.
Following the meeting, the City Manager sent a memorandum dated May 5, 1998, to each of the
Commissioners who had not committed the full $25,000. The purpose of this memorandum was
to determine if the Commissioners wanted to allocate the remaining balance or release the funds
for use by the Administration. Each Commissioner responded by providing the Administration
with a recommendation for the use of the uncommitted balance.

existing 24' Year CDBG agreements with these agencies, in a form acceptable to the City
