July 28, 1983
On June 9, 1983, the City Commission allocated $400,000 of Community Development
Jobs Bill funds to the Little Havana area. In accordance with the goals of the
Jobs Bill Program, the Commission mandated that activities undertaken with these
funds result in employment opportunities and provide for physical improvement Qf
the taroet area. ti C� �K
We met with the four agencies that expressed interest in operating pro�eEV's wkh.r�
these funds which included Jose Navarro of Senior Centers of Dade County,, IRcc.
We discussed his ideas, and Mr. Navarro submitted a proposal for S305r922 wth ch
included the following activities:
•o
1) Construction of a 20' x 40' swimming pool at 1407 N.W. 7th Streets;
2) Employment of instructors to train volunteers to provide various
services of the Agency
3) Provision of home delivered meals to elderly residents in East Little
Havana
The other three (3) agencies submitting proposals were the Inter -American
Chamber of Commerce, Little Havana Activities Center, and the Small Business
Opportunity Center. Each of these agencies proposed jobs training, employment
and/or placement activities v.hich will result in a specific number of jobs
being created.
We recommended equal amounts of funding for the other three agencies. Funding
was not recommended for Senior Centers of Dade County because the Agency's pro-
posal does not meet the Jobs Bill goals and the Agency was recently awarded a
CETA grant of $206,173.
At the City Commission Fleeting of July 19. 1C83, the Commission requested another
review of Senior Centers. Therefore, we will work with Mr. Navarro and de-
velop a program which can meet the Jobs Bill criteria.
With the inclusion of a Senior Centers Project, the Community Development Jobs
Bill Program allocations in the Little Havana Target Area will be equally divided
among four (4) agencies. It should be emphasized that each of these allocations
is made on a one time basis in conjunction with the objectives of the Jobs Bill.
