This 1_egi.sl.ati.on will restore food programs to approximately 98.3% of the 13th Year level of C.D. funding. The resolution also authorizes the City Manager to enter into agreement with these agencies in a form acceptable to the Ci.ty Attorney. BACKGROUND: At its meeting of April. 28, 1988, the City Commi.ssi.ori adopted several motions establishing priorities for the allocation of 13th Year C.D. public service carryover funds and related social. service issues. During the discussions relating to social service issues, the City Commi.ssi.on expressed its intent to fund C.D. food programs at the same level as the 13th C.D. Year and instructed the administration to develop a recommendation to restore funding to these agencies. In order to fund existing food programs at the 13th Year level, $ski, 654 is needed. Staff has identifi.ed $32, 082 to be used to restore funding to food programs from the following two (2) sources: 1. Transfer the 13th Year Carey Technical Institute project from public services to economic development: Since the City Comrn.i.ssi.on has directed that. this agency be funded through the economic development portion of the grant in the 14th Year, it is appropriate to mai.nt.ai.n program cont-Anui.ty by also categorizing the 13th Year project as an economic development acti.vi.ty. To accomplish this, $18, 180 is available from 13th Year Contingency Funds and $4,820 from the 13th Year Project. Pool for economic development activities. The transfer subs tant. i.vely provides $23, 0(00 which can be directed to reinstate food programs to the 13th Year level. 2. Reallocate unused Speci.a.l Programs and Accounts: Contingent Fund monies previously allocated to Senior Centers of Dade Rs-si -z 3 / - The Honorable Mayor and Members of the Ci.t.y Commission - 2 - County, Inc.: This Agency recei.ved �75, 000 from thQ City for the period February 1, 1987-January 31, 1988. At. the conclusion of the contract term, an unused balance of $25,082.40 remained. The combination of the two sources provides a total of $46,082.40 which may be directed to restore funding to food programs. However, at i.t-s meeting of June 9, 1988, the Ci.ty Corami.ssi.on adopted Resolution _•7o. 88-543 which allocated $8, 000 to Nynwood Elderly CHntar, Inc. to resolve a fi_nanci.al crisis the agency was experiencing and increased the allocation to Southwest. Soci.al. Services, . Inc. by $8, 000. This action reduced the avai.l.able balance of i.denti.fi.ed funds to restore food programs to $32,082, which would bring food agencies to a level. of 98.3% of the 13th Year C.D. funding level. Following i.s a listing of food programs recommended to receive the i.dent i.f i.ed funds: Agency Additional Recommerided Allocation Final.

It should be noted that Southwest Social Services i.s not. included in this recommendation for add i.tonal funding to food programs because the $8,000 allocation approved by the City Commission at the June 9th meeting increases the Ci.t.y' s allocation to the Agency from $61, 570 to $69, 570, which reflects a $4,623 .increase over the 13th Year allocation. Therefore, Southwest Social Services, Inc. is the only Agency which received a funding increase during the current cycle of funding for FY'88-89. An additional $15,195 would be needed to fully reinstate all food programs. Since the City Commission has clearly identified this service category as its top funding priority, it. is further recommended that the $15,195 needed to restore these programs to the H 1--61,1 The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission 13th Year level be placed in the first priority of any carryover fund balance from the 13th Year. If approved, this recommendation meets the City Commission's expressed intent to mai_nrai.n funding of food programs at the 13th Year funding level. It is expected that staff will have a final account of the balance of unexpended 13th Year C.D. Funds in August. Legislation will be proposed for consideration at the regular City Commission meeting in September. The proposed resolution restores all of the 13th Year C.D. funding level to enter into agreement with these the City Attorney.
