Cesar H. Odio City Commission Meeting
City hanager ENCLOSURES May 14, 1992
RECOMMENDATION:
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the
attached resolution, authorizing the City Manager to submit an
amendment to the Eighteenth (18th) Year Community Development
Block Grant Program for the purpose of reallocating the funds
originally approved for Miami Dade Community College (VIDCC)and
discuss any other pertinent issues regarding the 18th Year
funding program.
BACKGROUND:
The Department of Community Development has analyzed the need to
submit an amendment to the 18th Year Community Development Block
Grant Program for the purpose of reallocating the funds
originally approved for MDCC and to discuss other issues with
respect to the 18th Year Program.
The allocation to MDCC was conditioned upon MDCC receiving an
equal matching amount from Metro -Dade County's CDBG Program. The
funds for MDCC were originally recommended for the City's housing
programs which were subsequently reduced from $2 million to $1
million for both single and multi -family programs.
On April 9th, Metro -Dade County approved its annual CDBG program
which did not include funding for MDCC. Accordingly, the City is
required to hold a public hearing for the purpose of reallocating
-.! the $1 million dollars in question.
In addition, the Commission moved on March 12, 1992, to consider
$300,000 for a Downtown Business Incentive fund, proposed by the
Downtown Development Authority, but did not clearly specify the
intent of their action.
In finalizing the reallocation of the above $1.3 million dollars,
serious consideration should be given to increasing by $895,000
the level of funding originally recommended by staff for the
City's housing programs, $229,200 for grant administration, and
$175,000 for the City's Code Enforcement Program. —
