S.B. Resolution Waiving Conflict of

It is recommended that the City Commission
waive the Conf t of Interest provision,
Article V, Section 2-102 of the Code of the
City of Miami to allow Basheva Wright
an employee of the Human Resources
Department of the City to receive assistance
through the Housing Rehabilitation Program.
The Rehabilitation Assistance Program administered by the Community
Development Department with Community Development Block Grant Funds
is available to all residents of the City, living in the designated
Great Neighborhoods 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, city employees have met the eligibility criteria
and have requested assistance through the Rehabilitation Program.
These employees are required, by the Code of the City of Miami,
Article V, Section 2-102, to obtain a waiver from the City
Commission before such assistance can be approved.
The program guidelines established by the United States Department
of Housing and Urban Development do not allow the City to set up
separate classes of citizens based on their employment as a
criteria for eligibility for assistance programs. They do require
that program staff and members of governing bodies be ineligible
for assistance from certain programs.
Based on the above,
approve the Waiver of
approval of the subject
/wh
it is recommended that the City Commission
the Conflict of Interest provision to allow
application.
