Attachment: Resolution cc: Law Department Manohar Surana, Assistant City Manager/Director Budget Department Christina Cuervo Asset and Grant Management 93- 716 HXHIIIIT "A" Statement of Purpose and Scope of Work Municipal Coordination/Planning Grant City of Miami Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) Statement of Purpose At its meeting of June 16, 1992, the MPO approved the creation of a fund to be made available to all Dade County municipalities for transportation planning and coordination activities. The total amount in the fund is $300,000. Several municipalities applied for this money and all applicants were awarded varying amounts based on a population formula. Local cities receiving awards must provide a cash match of 20% of the activity total of projects and work undertaken with Municipal. Fund money. The purpose of this grant is for planning coordination between Dade County municipalities and the Metropolitan Planning Organization. The MPO believes that funding planning coordination creates a mechanism for greater municipality input, thereby allowing for more detailed consideration of various local transportation issues. The identification of critical transportation issues at the local level will translate into a more effective countywide transportation network and planning process. Scope of Work Work activities eligible under this Agreement include: 1. Performance of duties by city officials, employees or consultants related to MPO program transportation issues and which include topics in public transportation, urban transit and other eligible multimodal MPO planning areas. 2.
