Target areas and meeting the published eligibility requirements.
The program guidelines prohibit persons involved in the direct
administration of the program and members of the governing body of
the City of Miami 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.
From time to time, cite employees have met the eligibility criteria
and have requested assistance through the Rehabilitation Program.
These emplovees are required, by the Code of the City of Miami,
Section 2-302, to obtain a waiver from the City Commission after a

criteria f;r eligibilit.; for assistance programs. They do require
chat pro^ram staff and members of governing bodies be ineligible
=Jr assistance from certain programs.
Based on the above. it is recommended that the Citv Commission
