It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the
attached resolution which allocates a total of $150,000 from
Special Programs and Accounts: Contingent Fund, to be divided in
equal allotments of $75,000 to the Senior Centers of Dade County,
Inc. -Home Delivered Meals Project and the Miami Jewish Home and
Hospital for the Aged, Inc. -Douglas Gardens Senior Adult Day Care
Center at Legion Park, and further authorizes the City Manager to
enter into agreement with said agencies in a form acceptable to the
City Attorney.
BACKGROUND:
The Department of Community Development recommends that $150,000 of
Special Programs and Accounts: Contingent Fund be allocated to two
(2) food programs previously supported by City of Miami Federal
Revenue Sharing Funds. During the budget hearings in September of
1986, the City Commission approved Motion No. 86-659, expressing
its intent to provide an additional $150,000 from the budget of the
Department of Parks, Recreation and Public Facilities to food
programs. It is recommended that the $150,000 be divided equally
between food programs operated by the Senior Centers of Dade
County, Inc. and the Miami Jewish Home and Hospital for the Aged,
Inc. Both agencies operated effectively while under contract with
the City and are the only previously City funded food programs
which did not receive continued support during fiscal year 1986-87.
The Senior Centers of Dade County, Inc. -Home Delivered Meals
project received $199,000 of Federal Revenue Sharing Funds during
1985-86. This project provides home delivered meals on a Citywide
basis to frail, elderly City residents who are unable to attend a
congregate meal site and are not accessible to other "meals on
wheels" programs. Frozen meals, which are provided on a seven (7)
days a week basis, are delivered to the homes of participants. The
reduced funding will necessitate a decrease in the level of
service, but it will provide support to those clients determined to
be most needy by the project.

The Douglas Gardens Senior Adult Day Care Program at Legion Park
operated by the Miami Jewish Home and Hospital for the Aged
received $108,465 of Federal Revenue Sharing Funds from the City
during fiscal year 1985-86. Services are provided in a City
facility located at Legion Park. Douglas Gardens operates a
multiple services program for the elderly, which includes a
congregate setting hot luncheon meal, and is licensed as a senior
adult day care center by the State of Florida.
The attached resolution effectuates the intent of the City
Commission expressed in Motion No. 86-659 approved during the 1986-
87 budget hearings.
