Gary City Manager Dena Spillman, Director Department of Community Development 7 A TE April 13, 1984 >>_E Resolution allocating $6,600 to James E. Scott Community Association and $30,000 to Little Havana Activities and Nutrition Centers of Dade County City Commission Agenda April 26, 1984 ti:T.. One (1) It is recommended that the City Commission adopt a resolution which allocates $6,600 to the James E. Scott Community Association, Inc., and $30,000 to the Little Havana Ac- tivities and Nutrition Centers of Dade County, Inc., to provide the local match to purchase vehicles through the Florida Department of Transportation's Section 16(b)(2) program. We received requests for funds from four (4) agencies to purchase vehicles for use in their respective programs. Three (3) of the requests involve a matching agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation (DOT). DOT, through a federal grant, will provide up to 80% of the net cost of the vehicles. The agencies requested the remaining 20% from the City. The agencies that have executed agreements with DOT and the amounts of funds requested from the City are: City Agency Request 80% Match Vehicles Action Community Center, Inc. $10,120 $ 40,480 4 14-passenger vans James E. Scott Community $ 6,600 $ 26,400 1 40-passenger bus Associates, Inc. Little Havana Activities $30,000 $120,000 5 26-passenger buses and Nutrition Centers of Dade County At the April 5, 1984 meeting, the City Commission through Resolution #84-424 allocated funds to Action Conununity Center. We are recommending that the requestsfrom the James E. Scott Community Association (J.E.S.C.A.) and the Little Havana Activities and Nutrition Centers of Dade County (L.H.A.N.C.D.C.) be approved. The matching agreement with DOT enables these agencies to obtain quality equipment at greatly reduced cost, and will enhance the agencies' ability to deliver services to City residents. 4- .
