Gary City Manager FROM Dena Spillman Director Community Development „T:- April 26, 1982 I„1� City/County Agreement of Understanding REFERE•NCES.City Commission Agenda - May 13, 1982 ENCLOSURES: It is recommended that the attached two resolutions be approved by the City Commission allocating $350,000 -= .. of Housing Bond funds to Metropolitan Dade County for the administration of the public housing scattered site pro- :. �= gram, and $162,500 of Community Development Block Grant funds for the administration of certain Community Development activities; further authorizing the City Manager to enter into two contracts for these purposes C.,J with Metropolitan Dade County for the q period which commenced June 16, 1981 and expires June 15, 1982. In implementing its Community Development Block Grant and Public Housing Scattered Site programs, the City has found it necessary and desirable to contract with Metropolitan Dade County for ad- ministrative services in connection with the undertaking of certain project activities. These include family and business relocation services, land acquisition services, property manage- ment, site clearance administration, land disposition administration and fair housing. In addition, Dade County provides the City of Miami with assistance in the planning and administration of redevel- opment plans necessary for the implementation of CDBG assisted neighborhood improvement programs, as required. On June 15, 1981, the funds allocated for Dade County HUD adminis- tration expired under the sixth year Agreement of Understanding. Since that time they have acquired approximately one million dollars worth of land on behalf of Community Development and are continuing with our acquisition projects in Overtown and the Garment Center. They are providing disposition assistance for the City's second mortgage UDAG grant, general maintenance of the parcels that have -, 82-415 Howard V, Gary 4/26/82 page 2 been acquired under Community Development, as well as relocation assistance for our acquisition projects and the Little Havana/ Lummus Park Neighborhood Strategy area, Section 8 substantial rehabilitation program. In addition, through subcontract the County will provide the City with all services necessary to comply with the Fair Housing Act. For these reasons we recommend entering into contract with Metropo- litan Dade County for the sum of $162,500 to administer Community Development activities performed by Dade County HUD. Dade County HUD, under the Public Housing Scattered Site program, has been providing technical assistance in the planning and selec- tion of approximately 180 sites throughout the different neighbor- hoods. Dade County HUD has incurred extraordinary staff costs in locating project development sites and attending meetings in the various neighborhoods. For each site selected, approximately three (3) other sites had to be inspected and information gathered and reviewed. Approximately 1.1 million dollars has already been spent in the acquisition of forty-eight (48) sites in Allapattah, Buena Vista, and Wynwood, and an additional thirty-one (31) sites are expected to be acquired before the end of the year. For these reasons we recommend entering into contract with Metropolitan. -Dade County for the sum of $350,000 to administer the public housing scattered site program during the period June 16, 1981 through June 15, 1982. /cr Attachments cc; Mel Adams, Director Dade County HUD 82-415 ?
