Gary CAT; May 31, 1984 { City Manager I SUSACf: Resolution Allocating Funds to the James E. Scott Community Association, Inca RNom- Dena Spillman, Director NEPENENCIM City Commission Agenda Department of Community Development June 14, 1984 ENCLOSU"Es' One (1 ) It is recommended that the City Commission adopt a resolution which allocates $15,000 to the James E. Scott Community Association, Inc., to support the Agency's neighborhood anti -crime program, and to assist in comput- erizing the Agency's accounting department. On May 10, 1984, the City Commission adopted Motion 84-530, which expressed the Commission's intent to allocate $3,750 to the James E. Scott Community Associa- tion (J.E.S.C.A.) for the Agency's neighborhood anti -crime program. The Motion also directed the administration to review the Agency's request for additional funds and provide recommendations to the Commission in that regard. Staff has reviewed J.E.S.C.A.'s request which includes $15,000 for the neighbor- hood anti -crime program (including the $3,750 discussed above), and $20,000 for computerizing the Agency's accounting department. The Nei hborhood Anti -.Crime Program proposes to reduce crime and the fear of crime within the Liberty City area. The program receives funds from the Eisenhower Foundation and is part of a national effort to reduce crime. Miami is one of the ten cities selected for this program, which is expected to operate for two years. The program is currently in the planning stage. The total yearl budget for the program is $40,610, which includes the $15,000 requested from the City. Funds from the City ar—e-r—equested for twelve months, July 1, 1984 - June 30, 1985. Since there are only three months of this period remaining in the 1983-84 fiscal year, we recommend providing three months of the request or $5 000It is recommended that the remaining 10,000 be allocated from the 1 --i budget. It is further recommended that J.E.S.C.A. closely coordinate the planning and implementation of this program with the City of Miami Police Department. J.E.S.C.A. further proposes computerizing its accounting de artment. In 1981, the United Way provided $25,000 to conduct a management study of J.E.S.C.A.'s operations with emphasis on fiscal operations. The study recommended computer- izing the accounting department. The computerization would result in more ef- ficient operation of J.E.S.C.A.'s programs. J.E.S.C.A. operates nearly twenty different social service programs with an annual budget of 6.1 million dollars. The $20,000 requested from the City would be used to help defray "start-up" costs, specifically, remote processing and purchase of some hardware equipment.
