Cooper an employee of the Parks, Recreation and Public Facilities Department of the City to receive assistance through the Housing Rehabilitation Program. BACKGROUAD: The Housing Conservation and Development Agency has analyzed the need to waive the conflict of interest provision for Ms. Alberta B. Cooper. The proposed resolution would enable Ms. Alberta B. Cooper to receive financial assistance through the Housing Rehabilitation Program. The Rehabilitation Assistance Program administered by the Housing Conservation and Development Agency with Community Development Block Grant Funds is available to all residents of the City, provided they meet the published eligibility requirements. CDBG program guidelines established by the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development do not allow the City to set up separate classes of citizens based on their employment as a criteria for eligibility for assistance programs. However, persons involved in the direct administration of the program and members of the governing body of the City of Miami are prohibited from participating in the program. City employees who are not members of the Commission and who are not involved in the administration of the program are eligible for assistance if they meet the eligibility criteria. `1 1 , From time to time, city employees have met the eligibility criteria and have requested assistance through the Rehabilitation Program. These employees are required, by the Code of the City of Miami, Section 2-302, to obtain a waiver from the City Commission following a public hearing, before such assistance can be approved. / ww Attachments: Proposed Resolution Waiving Conflict of Interest /"1 4k 1 '• CO f !
