(CDBG) Application
REFERENCES' Commission Agenda Item
ENCLOSURES. June 11, 1987
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission approve
the attached resolutions and emergency o.dinance authorizing the
City Manager to enter into individ�iz l contractual agreements
with the various private non-profit agencies responsible for
implementing certain economic development, social service,
historic preservation and housing related activities as part of
the Thirteenth (13th) Year Community Development Block Grant
(CDBG) program and appropriate Thirteenth (13th) Year Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) in the amount of $11,940,000
and $625,000 in program income from Housing activities for the

Mayor and
City Commission
At the first public hearing held May 14, 1987, on the Thirteenth
(13th) Year Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, the
City Commission reserved the right to re -allocate 13th Year CDBG
funds among the various outside organizations and agencies set to
receive monies. This re -allocation would constitute an amendment
to the previously submitted community development Final Statement
authorized at the May 14, 1987, City Commission meeting. Should
this be the case, the Department of Community Development has
prepared the appropriate legislation which would authorize this
office to amend the previously submitted Final Statement and
submit it to the U.S. HUD, Jacksonville Area Office.
PUBLIC SERVICES
Funds for public services provided through the Community
Development Block Grant program titre limited by federal
regulations to a maximum of a fifteen per cent (15%) cap of the
total grant. A total of $19791,000 is available for public
services for the 13th Year. The 13th Year C.D. statement
continues most existing projects at the same funding level as
during the 12th C.D. Year. However, due to the 15% cap on
public services, the statement includes several agencies at a
reduced funding level. Therefore, it is further recommended
that the available carryover balance of unexpended 12th Year C.D.
funds for public services be allocated to those agencies in the
following manner to bring them up to the 12th Year funding level:
1. Industrial Home for the Blind, the first $3,850; 2.
Association for the Useful Aged, the next $2,265; 3. Belafonte
Tacolcy, the next $5,208; 4. Centro Mater, the next $20,000; and
5. Belafonte Tacolcy, the next $20,000. We will return to the
City Commission for the allocation of specific carryover balances
in September.
It should be noted that, at the Commission meeting of May 14,
19879 the Commission discussed the possibility of including
Belafonte Tacolcy Center in the general budget of the Department
of Parks and Recreation. While recognizing the importance and
need for the Tacolcy recreation program, it was pointed out that
this project did not meet the category priorities established by
the City Commission and it might be more appropriate to fund the
agency through Parks and Recreation.

HISTORIC PRESERVATION
It is recommended that the Overtown Historic Preservation Program
operated by the Black Archives History and Research Foundation of
South Florida be continued at the existing level of $31,000. The
Agency is active in preserving the history and culture of the
Culmer-Overtown area by identifying, collecting, organizing and
processing historical records pertaining to the Culmer-Overtown
area and making the collection available to the community.
HOUSING RELATED
It is recommended that the Senior Security Program operated by
Jewish Family Services receive $489000 to provide home security
improvements, such as l<.cks and security services, to elderly,
low income crime victios on a citywide basis.
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT:
The City's objective in funding the CBOs is to provide an
opportunity for neighborhood economic oriented groups to
coordinate the City's economic development efforts at the
neighborhood level. This involves promoting the redevelopment
and revitalization of Commercial/Industrial activity in targeted
low and moderate income neighborhoods and thereby stimulate
investment activities.
The CBO's also provide neighborhood outreach services to the
local business community. These services include, but are not
limited to, the formation and/or strengthening of a merchants
association, business recruitment, target area promotion,
referral service to other federal and county programs that are
aimed at economic revitalization, and business retention
assistance and/or opportunities.
It is recommended that the CBOs be funded for a one (1) year
period at a level of fifty thousand dollars ($50,000).

Mayor and
City Commission
The Wynwood Community Economic Development Corporation, Inc.
(WCEDC), which was servicing the Wynwood neighborhood target
area, was not recommended for funding due to an unsatisfactory
performance evaluation on May 14, 1987 by Resolution No. 87-411.
It is therefore recommended that another organization be selected
to implement the City's economic development initiatives for the
Wynwood area. The selection of a new contractor will be through
a Request For Proposal (RFP) process. The selection committee
will consist of an Assistant City Manager, Planning Director,
Department of Development Director, Community Development
Director and the Community Development Advisory Board
Chairperson.
The resolution allocating Thirteenth (13th) Year CDBG funds to
neighborhood based economic development organizations for
implementation of the Citywide Commercial Facade Treatment
Program will be presented to the City Commission at a later date.
Contracts currently in effect for commercial facade activities
will not expire for several months.
MIAMI CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT, INC.:
Miami Capital Development, Inc. (MCDI) a quasi -public lending
institution, serves as the City's financial arm to provide
financial business development loan packaging services, and
managerial and technical assistance to its loan recipients.
In addition to providing the aforementioned administrative
support to minority entrepreneurs, MCDI also administers a
Revolving Loan Fund (RLF) Program which is used mainly to fill
the gaps in the existing financial markets for those
entrepreneurs who have had inadequate access to credit and
business opportunities generally required by private lending
institutions.
During the 1987-88 fiscal year, MCDI will strengthen its
programmatic objectives, specifically in the following areas:
1. Providing increased technical assistance to its
loans recipients.

2. Networking and participating with local neighbor
hood community -based organizations and implementing
commercial economic development projects.
3. Creating linkages with private institutions to
assist MCDI in leveraging its available loan funds
as well as identifying additional sources of revenue.
Miami Capital Development, Inc., will receive $120,000 for
administration for fiscal year 1987-88.
The RLF program will be funded at a level of five hundred
thousand dollars ($500,000) to assist small businesses in
attaining working capital and/or fixed assets.
GREATER MIAMI UNITED:
Greater Miami United (GMU) is a non-profit civic organization
whose goal is to improve the social and economic environment in
blighted neighborhood areas. GMU has been successful in
mobilizing public and private resources to deal with fundamental
community problems.
The agency's main objective will be to operate the Technical
Resource Center which is designed to enhance the capacity of
local Community Development Corporation's (CDC's) in the
planning, development and implementation of community development
activities and projects.
