City Manager
PERSONAL APPEARANCE:
DATE: JUL I 8 1997 FILE:
SUBJECT: Personal Appearance of
Margaret Paternek, Ph.D. related
to HAPMO's FY `96 contract
REFERENCES: RE: City Commission Agenda
ENCLOSURES: Item July 24, 1997
Margaret Patemek, Ph.D., Executive Director of the HIV/AIDS Planning and Management
Organization (HAPMO), has requested a personal appearance before the City Commission, to
discuss the assignment of a portion of HAPMO's FY `96 Housing Opportunities for Persons With
AIDS (HOPWA) contract to Housing and Services of South Florida, Inc.
BACKGROUND:
In April of 1997, the City Commission authorized the City Manager to execute a contract with the
HIV/AIDS Planning and Management Organization, Inc. (HAPMO), for the provision of housing
related services and staff support, in the amount of $190,000. More specifically, this contract has
three (3) components: $10,000 for clerical support for the HOPWA Advisory Board, $105,000
for professional services related to planning and development of the HOPWA Program, and
$75,000 for the Service Delivery Information System (county wide computer tracking system for
delivery of HOPWA funded services provided to clients).
On July 2, 1097, the City received notice from HAPMO that its Board of Directors decided to
dissolve and cease operations effective July 31, 1997. In an effort to continue the support for the
HOPWA Advisory Board and the professional services related to planning and development,
Housing and Services of South Florida has offered to step in for HAPMO, for the remainder of its
contract.
In an emergency meeting of the HOPWA Advisory Board, on July 16, 1997, its members voted
unanimously to recommend to the City Commission that Housing and Services of South Florida,
Inc. be assigned the balance of the portion of HAPMO's contract to continue the support for the
HOPWA Advisory Board and the professional services related to planning and development,
which represents $9,166.67 and $96,250, respectively. Also, the HOPWA Advisory Board voted
unanimously to cease funding of the Service Delivery Information System at this point. This was
because HOPWA is the funding source which pays the least, as a percentage of the total costs for
this system, as compared to Dade County. Additionally, although Dade County has decided to

Members of the City Commission

continue this system for the next few months with a different provider, the County has. also
decided to look at other systems to perform the same function in the future. City staff and the
HOPWA Advisory Board will work in conjunction with Dade County to decide the system to be
used in the future. Approximately $68,750 of the $75,000 allocated for the Service Delivery
Information System will be reallocated by the City after consultation with the HOPWA Advisory
Board.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff has met with Housing and Services of South Florida, Inc. It has a local track record of
working as a consultant to the Dade County Homeless Trust and is the recipient of a national
HOPWA grant. Staff agrees with the HOPWA Advisory Board and recommends that Housing
and Services of South Florida, Inc. be assigned the remaining .portion of HAPMO's FY `96
HOPWA contract for the provision of clerical support to the HOPWA Advisory Board and the
professional services related to planning and development of the HOPWA Program, in the total
amount of $105,416.67 ($9,166.67 + $$96,250.00). This funding is available in account number
194004.590604.6860.94654.
