SMITH CHIEF ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY APPROVED AS TO FORM AND CORRECTNESS: M3202/ABS/Sls 1 CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: Honorable Mayor and Members DATE: of the City Commission SUBJECT FROM : REFERENCES Cesar H. Odio City Manager ENCLOSURES: FILE : Agenda Item - Application for Community Disaster Loan RECOMMENDATION : It is respectfully recommended that the attached resolution be approved authorizing the City Manager to apply for a Community Disaster Loan from the Federal Management Agency in an amount not to exceed $5,000,000. Federal regulations provide for Community Disaster Loans to any local government which has suffered loss of revenues as a result of a major disaster. The City Administration has projected the loss of revenue as a result of damages caused by Hurricane Andrew not to exceed $5,000,000. This estimate includes revenue losses suffered by City facilities, such as marinas and conference centers, reductions in franchise taxes, public service taxes, sales taxes and other revenues. The law allows for cancellation of the loan once the City presents proof to the federal government that the loan was used to offset losses in revenues attributable to Hurricane Andrew or to pay for unreimbursed disaster -related expenses during the three fiscal year period following the disaster. Although this resolution will allow the City Manager to request approval of a loan for up to $5,000,000, withdrawals against the authorized loan will only be made for the amount of actual losses once fully determined. 92- 621
