RECOMMENDATION:
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution
accepting two grants, one from the State of Florida Department of Children and Families
(DCF) in the estimated amount of $44,838.00 and another one in the estimated amount of
$278,352.00 from the State of Florida Agency for Health Care 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, 1997 through June 30, 1998. 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 has received grant funds from the State of Florida Department of Children
and Families for the past nineteen (19) years. 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 one -hundred one (101) 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 grant funds. The contract period for the
grants will run from July 1, 1997 through June 30, 1998.
To serve as many as one hundred and one (101) clients, funds from both State funding
sources are combined to cover two (2) interrelated programs offered by the Parks
Department's Program for Persons with Disabilities. 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
how to take a bus. The second program provides for non-residential habilitation services
to a minimum of seventy-one (71) 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.
This Resolution is a companion item to an accompanying ordinance appropriating said
grants to a special revenue fund for the Department of Parks and Recreation. The DCF
grant requires a 12.5% local match in an estimated amount of $5,605 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. No cash match is required.
