REFERENCES- genda Item for 5/5
ENCLOSURES:
It is respectfully recommended that the City of Miami Commission
approve the attached resolution allocating one hundred thousand
dollars ($100,000.00) in matching CDBG funds for the purpose of
renovating a new building located at 5555 Biscayne Boulevard,
Miami, to be performed in conjunction with Metropolitan Dade
County.
BACKGROUND
The Department of Community Development, at the request of the
Association for Retarded Citizens, Dade County, (attached)
recommends the allocation of matching funds in the amount of one
i hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00) for this purpose.
jWe have prepared the appropriate resolution for aprroval in order
j to process this request as expeditiously as possible. Renovation
for this facility is being requested because it is used for
j administrative offices as well as educational, job training and
placement programs for persons with disabilities.
Metropolitan Dade County has recently awarded two hundred
thousand dollars ($200,000.00) in County -wide CDBG funding as per
Resolution 443-94 to assist in this renovation project. The
Executive Director for this organization would like to roll both
allocations into one project since it would ease the project in
terms of federal compliance.
