Odio City Manager ENCLOSURES. It is recommended that the City Commission approve the attached ordinance and resolution, appro- priating Community Development (Twelfth Year) Block Grant funds, authorizing the City Manager to submit a final statement to the U.S. Department of Housing & Urban Development requesting funds in the amount of $9,875,000 for the proposed Community Development program during 1986- 87, and further authorizing the City Manager, upon approval of said grant. by HUD, to accept the same and negotiate the necessary implementing contracts and agree- ments. It is further recommended that the City Commission approve the programming of the expected program income of $600,000 to be allocated to projects in ac- cordance with the attached information. A public hearing on the 12th Year Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program is scheduled for April 22, 1986. This will be the only hearing at the City Commission regarding the proposed application. 8f - 296 8e--".397, Cesar H. Odioj April 15, 1986 page 2 June 16, 1986, will begin the 12th Year of Community Development funding for the City of Miami. The twelfth year funding level is expected to be $9,875,000, a decrease of $4,165,000 from the eleventh year funding level. The twelfth year Community Development planning process has been a difficult one for staff and Community Development Advisory Board members alike in making recommendations for twelfth year project funding. Requests from the community as a whole have greatly exceeded anticipated resources. This dilemma has been enhanced by a very active citizen participation process in the various Community Development target areas. The Advisory Board, under the leadership of the chairperson, Maria Elena Torano, spent numerous hours trying to determine the best projects to fund in the various communities, and this process has not been easy by any means. The Board should be congratulated for its efforts in dealing in this regard. in the area of housing, the only difference existing between the recommendations of staff and those of the C.D. Advisory Board is the Board's recommendation to reduce the proposed allocation for the ongoing Multifamily Rehabilitation Loan Program by $150,000 in order to fund the administrative budgets of three (3) neighborhood based, housing oriented non-profit corporations-- Tacolcy Economic Development Corporation, St. John's Church Housing Corporation, and the East Little Havana Development Authority. In addition to the twelfth year grant amount, staff has anticipated that $600,000 in program income will be received during the coming year from single and multi -family housing rehabilitation loan repayments. This supplement to the City's grant amount brings the total amount of funding available'to $10,475,000. With this amount, however, funding still remains inadequate to meet community needs. It is the recommendation of staff and the C.D. Advisory Board that funding be concentrated in those activities which will have the greatest positive impact: .Housing .Public Service Programs .Economic Development 1. HOUSING Conservation of Miami's existing inventory of rental and owner - occupied housing is the principal component of the City's community -wide housing improvement strategy. ee - -296 8G - -1297. Cesar H. Odio April 15 , 1986 page 3 Since 1978, a major portion of the City's annual CDBG allocation has been earmarked for the provision of low -interest loans and direct grants to low and moderate income homeowners for the purpose of financing needed home repairs. To date, $9,469,822 in rehabilitation financing has been provided to qualified homeowners which has resulted in the "recycling" of 650 homes, City-wide. Loan repayments are rolled over into the program and used to provide additional loans and grants. The CDBG funded single family rehabilitation loan and grant program not only provides City homeowners with financing at reasonable rates for needed home repairs which, in turn, helps to stabilize the City's neighborhoods, but also provides employment opportunities for small contractors, many of whom are minority contractors. In 1980, a CDBG funded multifamily rental housing rehabilitation financing program was implemented in an effort to provide rehabilitation financing for needed repairs to rental housing projects located in the City's Community Development target areas at interest rates and terms which would not require major rent increase burdens to be passed on to the low income tenants. To date, $8,490,800 in CDBG rehabilitation financing has been provided, resulting in the renovation of 43 rental housing projects containing 1,502 dwellings. ,Unfortunately, federal cutbacks in the City's annual CDBG allocation for the 12th Program Year will result in reduced funding for the Single Family Rehabilitation Loan and Grant Program and a corollary reduction in the number of homes that can be rehabilitated:through the program.. The proposed 12th year CDBG allocation for the program, $1,150,000, is sufficient to provide financing for the rehabilitation of only 46 homes citywide as .compared, to an average of 110 homes annually in previous program years. Reduced funding for the program during the 12th CDBG program year will necessitate a substantial reduction in the existing program administrative staff in order to contain administrative costs. Based on the proposed funding level for the program for the 12th CDBG program year, it will be necessary to terminate 12 members of the program's technical staff. With these factors in mind, the C.D. Advisory Board has recommended that the City appeal to the 'Dade County Surtax Advisory Board for $2,000,000 in single family rehabilitation funding to augment the proposed CDBG allocation to the program, which would enable the City to provide rehabilitation financing assistance to 138 homeowners and require fewer staff cuts. 8E � - 29F 8E- 29'7. 3 Cesar H. Odio April 15, 1986 Tr page 4 r= i The proposed funding level for the multifamily rehabilitation financingprogram is sufficient to provide financing for the rehabilitation of 138 dwelling units while maintaining existing programmatic staff. xti Other programs recommended for funding through the 12th Year CDBG Program that are directly or indirectly related to housing include: 1) Continuation of the City's Substandard Structure Demolition Program. 2) Continuation of the City-wide Historic Preservation Program entailing the inventory of sites of historic and architectural significance within the City and the development of programs for their preservation. 3) Continuation of the Overtown Historic Preservation Program which serves to conserve the history and culture of the Culmer-Overtown area by identifying, collecting, organizing and processing historical records pertaining to the development of the Culmer-Ov ertown area and making the collection available to the community. 4) Continuation of the Senior Security Program which provides home security improvements in the form of locks and security screens to low income residents on a Citywide basis. 2. PUBLIC SERVICE PROGRAMS Support services which complement the physical and economic k development• thrust of the Community Development Program are necessary to assist residents and improve the quality of life in 3 i neighborhoods. The public services programs recommended for �`'.. funding are tailored to meet the needs of the particular neighborhoods and include: meals, elderly services, child care, primary health care, mental health care, transportation, job }.' referral/development, cultural arts and programs for the handicapped. Available Community Development funding for public services is limited because federal regulations have placed a fifteen percent (15%) cap on social service programs. Since it is projected that the City's allocation will be reduced by thirty percent (30%), the available for amount public services will decrease by that same level. To complicate matters, the status of Federal Revenue .,, g (F.R.S. funds is Sharing ) questionable for FY 1986-87. At this point, F.R.S. has not been re -legislated by Congress. To the ?yq best of our knowledge, the future of these funds is tenuous. 86-2s7. Cesar H. Odio 1 page 5 April 15 , 1986 Even if re -authorized, reports that we have received indicate that funding will be at a reduced level (probably no greater than fifty percent (50%) of the existing grant). If that is the case, the City Commission will have to'determine its priorities for the use of these funds. Currently, the City directs twelve percent (12%) of its F.R.S. allocation to social services. The combined loss of C.D. and F.R.S. funds for public services for the coming year is projected to be approximately $1.7 million. The staff recommendation (Attachment 1) emphasizes several key factors. Primary consideration was given to the existing C.D. agencies providing the most critical service needs (i.e., elderly services/meals, health care, child care, and programs for the handicapped) and the special needs of the Overtown target area. Secondly, consideration was given to neighborhood and ethnic balance in distributing funds. These factors, therefore, generally resulted in a 30% reduction of llth Year C.D. allocations with the following exceptions: (1) additional funds were allocated to three (3) elderly programs which currently receive substantial F.R.S. allocations: Allapattah Community Action, Inc., James E. Scott Community Association, Inc., and Little Havana Activities and Nutrition Centers of Dade County, Inc. Note that the recommended allocations will not completely replace the potential loss of F.R.S. funds to these agencies, (2) $50,000 were allocated to the Haitian American Community Association of Dade County, Inc. (H.A.C.A.D.) to continue its food program in Edison Little River, for which it currently does not receive Community Development funds, (3) the recommended allocation for the Action Community Center, Inc. is reduced by 49.2% due to the limited amount of funds available and (4) funding of three (3) currently funded C.D. projects (Catholic Community Services/Little Havana- Outreach Office, Family Counseling Services, and Tenant Education Association of Miami, Inc.) was eliminated because these agencies do not meet the aforementioned service priorities. In addition, F.R.S. projects and new proposals are not recommended for 12th Year C.D. funding (with the exception of the H.A.C.A.D. project previously discussed). In conjunction with these agencies, staff is exploring alternative funding possibilities. We will keep the City Commission apprised of any developments in this area. We are also hopeful that Congress will overturn the deferral of C.D. funds. If this occurs, approximately $336,960 will be available for public services. If F.R.S. funds are re -authorized, this would provide another possible source of funds to meet human service needs, although, as discussed earlier, the. City Commission would have, to establish priorities for the allocation of these funds. 8f--296 8e- 02`9°7. Cesar H. Odio April 15, 1986 04 page 6 3. ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ;�k The Community Based Organizations (CBO's) coordinate the City's economic development efforts at the neighborhood level. The objective of the CBO structure is to promote the redevelopment F and revitalization of commercial/industrial activity in targeted low and moderate income areas. 4# Since the 6th Year Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) fiscal period, a portion of the City's annual CDBG allocation has been earmarked for neighborhood development activities. As a result of contracting with the CBO's, the City's investment in F the various neighborhood commercial real estate projects has been successfully developed and operated. These projects total $2,146,000 and have resulted in approximately 165 new jobs being created in various target areas within the City of Miami. In addition to the above activities, funding has also been allocated for an exterior commercial rehabilitation program in selected target areas. Beginning with the 7th Year CDBG funding period, $33 9,000 has been spent on the rehabilitation of commercial properties. As a result, 158 commercial buildings have been rehabilitated. The City of Miami presently funds eleven (11) CBO's at a level of + 450,000 each for the 1985-86 fiscal period. This grant provides for administrative and programmatic support to these organi- zations. Based on the 1985-86 mid -year contractor's evaluation report (see Attachment 2), staff is recommending that during the 12th CDBG f undin ear seven ( 7 ) of the 9 Y present eleven (11) a. CBO's be awarded contracts of 450,000 each for a one-year period. 'is It further recommended that the remaining four (4) CBO's beplaced on a six-month probation, at which time these =: organizations will be re-evaluated to determine if contract continuation should be recommended. Those CBO's which are recommended for probation are: 1) Allapattah Business Development Authority 2) Allapattah Merchants Association 3) Overtown Economic Development Corporation 4) Wynwood Community Economic Development Corporation The above CBO's scored below the 51 percentile during the mid- year contract performance evaluation. Each organization was evaluated on its achievement of economic development initiatives, compliance with administrative and fiscal contractual require- ments and compliance with income generation. 86--029 f . Cesar H. Odio April 15, 1986 page 7 Furthermore, it is the recommendation that each of the eleven (11) CBO's with no probation stipulations. of the C.D. Advisory Board receive one-year contracts In conjunction with the C.D. Advisory Board, staff concurs with the Board's support of ongoing economic development projects totaling $2,049,527. It should be pointed out though that the request for new and/or continued projects total an additional $2.6 million, which is not presently available . In this regard, due to the thirty percent (30%) reduction anticipated for the City's 12th Year CDBG program allocation, $500,000 will be available for new community activities, including economic development projects. It is the recommendation of the C.D. Advisory Board and staff that a resource pool be created to address the financial needs of new and/or ongoing projects. Funding for the projects from the established pool will be based on the following criteria: The pool will provide 50% in matching funds to projects with a total cost up to $50,000; for projects whose total cost is over $50,000, this pool will provide matching funds with a leverage ratio of 2:1. It was further recommended by the Board that in addition to the $500,000 available for new and continuing projects, an additional amount of $1 million be allocated for said purpose from the City's General Fund account. .. 4. ADMINISTRATION We are recommending that the level for administration be maintained at the same percentage of grant funds (20%) as last year. Administration funds are utilized to cover general administration costs of the program, planning activities and indirect costs. As of this date, it is anticipated that the City's allocation from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for the implementation of Community Development projects will be cut at a level of thirty percent (30%). This budget cut represents for the City a loss of $4,165,000 in HUD funds for fiscal year 1986-87. As a result, the Department of Community Development would have to take a number of budgetary measures to cope with the impact of this substantial reduction in federal funds, including laying off sixteen (16) members of the administrative staff. Finally, the thirty percent (30%) budget cut projected for forthcoming CDBG Twelfth Year Program might not be approved its entirety by Congress. There is a strong possibility that proposed $500 million deferral being pursued by Administration may be overturned by Congress, which ultimately the in the the 8c-- .29b Cesar H. Odio April 15 , 1986 Page 8 r, may represent the sum of $2,246,400, or a sixteen percent (16%) increase in the C.D. allocation anticipated for next year. In the event the deferral is rescinded, the City will have additional funds for social service programs, housing rehabili- tation projects, and economic development activities. S. CONTINGENCIES For the next fiscal year, a certain amount of C.D. funds has been set aside for contingencies which will be used to cover costs incurred in activities of an unforeseen nature, to increase the scope of existing projects and make their final completion possible, and to fund new projects suggested by the City Commission during the year.

This report provides an analysis of the CBO's contractual compliance for the llth Year Contract Period. Also, background information on the City's community -based program objectives, the contract requirements in effect for the llth year program, an evaluation and explanation of how each contractor was evaluated and lastly recommendations regarding contract continuation with those contractors that have performed at an acceptable level. A summary performance rbview of the CBO's contractual compliance and neighborhood economic achievement is provided below: Performance Score Allapattah Business Development Authority 40 Allapattah Merchants Association 45 Coconut Grove•Local Development Corporation 90 Downtown Miami Business Association 75 Haitian Task Force 100 Little Havana Development Authority 90 Martin Luther King Economic Development Corp. 100 Northeast Miami Chamber of Commerce 100 Overtown Economic Development Corporation 30 Small Business Opportunity Center 100 Wynwood Economic Development Corporation 50 An explanation of the scores can be found on Background Information: to determine these final report. The City of Miami chose to enter into agreements with neighborhood community based organizations (CEOs) in the 6th year (7/1/80-6/30/81) of the Community Development Program (CDP). These contracts were renewed for the 7th year (7/l/81-6/30/82) CDP, the 8th year (7/1/82-6/30/83), the 9th year (7/l/83- 6/30/84), 10th year (7/1/84-6/30/85) and again for the llth year (7/1/85-6/30/86) program. The City's objective in funding the CEOs is to provide an opportunity for neighborhood economic oriented groups to coordinate the City's Economic Development efforts at the neigh- borhood level. This involves promoting the redevelopment and 0 - 0 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. The City of Miami presently fund eleven (11) CBO's at a level of $50,000 each for the 1985-86 fiscal period. Since the inception of the CBO structure process, approximately $2,134,250 has been allocated to the CBO's for administration and implementation of its economic objectives. With the beginning of 'the 8th year contract period .(7/l/82- 6/30/83), each contractor was required to implement the established MBOs, adhere to the CBO Policies and Procedures Manual and establish and maintain a strong financial management system. In addition to the establishment of a strong contract compliance system, the CEOs are monitored on a monthly basis for both programmatic and fiscal contract compliance. This procedure assured that the contractors were in compliance with the contract terms or were required to take corrective actions on a timely basis. In addition to establishing a series of contract requirements, it is important to point out that the City implemented the administration's requirement that funding to the contractors, which had been at $50,000 A year, would be reduced with the beginning of the 8th year. Specifically, the change was that over a three-year period (8th, 9th and 10th CD years) the City would reduce its support from $50,000 to $25,000 at the end of the 10th CD fiscal year. However, the City funded the CBO's at a level of $37,750 during the 1Oth year fiscal period and increased its funding back to $50,000 during the CDBG llth year. It should be noted however, that during the present funding year (llth) each contractor is required to generate $16,500.00 in additional revenue to maintain its administrative support services to the agency. The revenue generation was imposed to assure that the contractors become self-sufficient and to determine whether the contractors were critical and viable economic development entities within their respective -business districts. During the llth year program, some CBOs actively participated and received extensive Community Development Corporation (CDC) training and project development assistance from the CDC Project Development Institute created by Greater Miami United, partially funded by the City of Miami Department of Community Development. -2- 8G-10.97. 11 r CONTRACTOR'S PERFORMANCE REVIEW All CBOs under contract with the City of Miami for fiscal year 1985-1986 were subject to compliance with three (3) categories within scope of their contract obligations. These categories are used to monitor the CBOs during the contract year. The three categories and the values placed on each category which were reviewed during the first half of the contract period to determine CBO compliance are as follows: 1. Achievement of Economic Development Initiatives (60 points). (Note: Evaluation was based upon projects and/or programs implemented by the contractor that impacted the commercial target area). 2. Compliance with Administrative and Fiscal Contractual Requirements (20 points). 3. Compliance with Income Generation (20 points). (Each con- tractor has until June 30, 1986 to fulfill this contract re- quirement). The following table provides a summary of CBO contractual performance. The total possible score for this analysis is 100.0 points. Descriptions of the three categories follow the table.
