Honorable Mayor an,l Members of the City Commission FROM: i ; !o Cesar H. Odio City Manager Recommendation: Pi DATE: J h N 14 1987 FILE: SUBJECT: Grant Agreement with Keep Dade Beautiful, Incorporated REFERENCES: ENCLOSURES: It is respectfully requested and recommended that the City Commission approve and authorize the City Manager to enter into a grant agreement in the form attached with Keep Dade Beautiful, Incorporated for a period of one (1) year. The amount of the• proposed grant award is $15,000. Background: On November 20, 1985, Keep Dade Beautiful was certified by Keep America Beautiful as the largest of 378 programs existing in 38 states. The local effort was initiated in the Spring of 1985 in response to the concerns, expressed by a number of community leaders, that Dade County in general and the City of Miami in particular needed to be cleaned up and beautified. Originally established'as Dade Clean, Incorporated, Keep Dade Beautiful is a non-profit Florida corporation. It has also become fully organized, including an executive policy committee representative of the leadership of both the public and private sectors, engaged a full-time executive director and a part-time assistant, developed administrative procedures and financial controls, and established an office presently housed in the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce. Since its inception the City of Miami has been an active participant in Keep Dade Beautiful. Mayor Xavier L. Suarez is a member of the Executive Policy Committee. In addition, the City's Directors of Solid Waste and Public Works and an Assistant City manager and myself have continuously been involved and active in technical and policy issues. Attached for the Commission's information is a listing of accomplishments by Keep Dade Beautiful. The attached agreement is substantially the same as that between Keep America Beautiful and Metropolitan Dade County which has made a grant award of $35,000 for Fiscal Year 1987 in addition to having previously provided $15,000 of in -kind support. 87-91 _2- As will be noted from a review of Attachment A. Keep Dade Beautiful has implemented a number of cost effective programs that serve all of the Dade County community. However, as the core community of the County, it is staff's opinion and recommendation that the additional funds recommended herein be approved to allow for an increased focus within the City's corporate limits. This would provide an opportunity for the City to utilize Keep Dade Beautiful' s expertise to assist City departments in resolving problems unique to our City. City Commission approval of the proposed agreement would be a major step toward making the City of Miami healthier, cleaner and more attractive aesthetically. 17 87-91 0 0 Attachment A.
