City Commission Meeting
ENCLOSURES: Of March 14' , 1985
It is recommended that the
City Commission adopt a
resolution which provides
a 20% cash match, not to
exceed $5,000, to the
Wynwood Elderly Center to
purchase two (2) 15
passenger vans through the
Florida Department of
Transportation Section
16(b)(2) Program.
During FY 1983-84, the City of Miami received requests from four. (4)
social service agencies to purchase vehicles for use in each respective
program. Three of the agencies requested a 20% cash match to
participate in the Florida Department of Transportation (DOT) Section
16(b)(2) program. Under this program, DOT, through a federal grant,
provided 80% of the purchase price of the vehicles and a local cash
match of 20% was required to cover the balance. In April of 1984, the
City Commission allocated $10,120 to Action Community Center (for the
purchase of four 14 passenger vans), $6,600 to James E. Scott Community
Association (for the purchase of one 40 passenger bus) and $30,000 to
the Little Havana Activities and Nutrition Centers of Dade County (for
the purchase of five 26 passenger buses) to participate in the DOT
program.
The fourth agency requesting City funds for the purchase of vehicles,
the Wynwood Elderly Center, had not requested vehicles through DOT.
Instead, the agency requested City funds to cover the full purchase
price of the vehicle. The City Commission adopted Resolution 84-369 at
its meeting of April 5, 1984, which stated its intent to purchase a 15
passenger van for use by the Wynwood Elderly Center. however, the
resolution further instructed the City Manager to inquire into the
possibility of obtaining available State funds for the Wynwood Elderly
Center for this purpose. At that time, the deadline for submitting
requests to the State had expired. It was our recommendation that the
agency request funds during the next funding cycle of the DOT Section
16(b)(2) program.

The Wynwood Elderly Center complied with this recoimnendation and has
been informed by DOT that its request for two (2) 15 passenger vans has
been approved. It is our understanding that the Agency has received a
low bid of $12,500 for the purchase price of each vehicle. In order to
participate in the State program, a cash match of 20% ($2,500 per
!
vehicle) is needed. Since the agency has taken the appropriate actions
directed by the City, it is recommended that the City approve the
agency's request for the local match. The matching agreement with DOT
enables the agency to obtain quality equipment at a greatly reduced
cost. The purchase of the vehicle would enhance Wynwood Elderly
Center's ability to deliver services to City residents. The agency
provides meals and supportive services to approximately 650 elderly
City of Miami residents on a yearly basis.
The attached resolution would formalize the intent of Resolution 84-369
and would provide the 20% local cash match of $5,000 to the Wynwood
Elderly, Center to purchase• two •(2) 15 •passsenger•. vans through
in
participation the DOT 16(2)(b) program.
