The second hearing on this matter is scheduled for 4:00 p.m., Wednesday, February 11, 1981. /cr Attachment N Areas Issues Allapattah Fund only one economic development group for $50,000 preferably the Allapattah Merchant Association. with the $50,000 balance previously allo- cated to economic development, fund a crime prevention program which would establish linkages between law enforce- ment agencies, local businesses, and the community in order to reduce crime in the neighborhood. Increase the funding of the Elderly Service Program by $20,000. Coconut Grove Accepted the Community Development package as is. Downtown An increase of funding for the Elderly Program from $20,700 to $47,969. The target area also stated that the worst problem downtown was that of parking and that they would like to have it resolvgd. Recommendations Staff concurs with the recommendation to limit economic development funding to only one eco- nomic development corporation. Staff does not recommend funding the crime prevention program. A similar program to the one recommended is presently in operation in the area, funded through at LEAA grant.. The main difference between the two programs is that this program would be'operated by area residents. Staff recommends an additional 5% increase for the two social service programs in the Allapattah area. Funds to be reallocated from Allapattat v, local street improvements. Same. No additional recommendations. Staff recommends an additional 5% increase for the social service program. Funds to be re- allocated from the New Town In Town project. A tram or bus service can not be funded in the downtown area by Community Development because Section 570.201(e)(2) restricts public service to residents of the Neigh- borhood Strategy Area. In the case of downtown, most people utilizing this service will not be residents of the area and thereby not eligible. Also, Community Development funds must be uses to address the needs of low and moderate income persons. The Planning Department will continue working with OTA and DDA to find another solution to the problem. - 1 - Areas Issues Recommendations Edison/Little River Approved the recommendations, but stated that the two economic development programs should be funded at the same level. This was in reference to Little River Commerce Association which will receive additional funding from the county for economic dev- elopment. Staff stated that this funding was to permit the program to serve the unincorporated area. Little Havana Funding for all social service agencies in Little Havana be increased an additional five percent. In addition, the Transpor- tation Program requested an increase from $39,200 to $F5,900, and the Little Havana Outreach Office requested an -increase from $47,500 to $67,700. Funding of approximately $121,000 for ACCION. Model City Tacolcy be increased in funding from $57,900 to $99,199. This increase is necessary to meet the increased work- load at the center due to its expansion. Overtown Accepted the Community Development package as is. As stated by staff, the funds provided by the county to Little River Commerce Association are to serve the unincorporated area. Staff still recommends $50,000 for each of the two programs. All economic development programs should look for additional funds from the Community Development Corporation Support and Assistance programs being provided by the state. Staff recommends an additional five percent i. 1 crease to all social service programs in the Little Havana area. Since in the seventh year there is only one physical project, staff re- commends that this funding should be provided from the fifth year balance of Little Havana Street improvements around Latin Riverfront Park. There are not sufficient funds to construct this project. The project would be discontinued. Staff does not recommend any new social service programs. In addition, this is a Dade County program which should be funded by them. Staff recommends to increase the funding for the program to $82,900, at increase of $25,000_ This amount would be reallocated from the 7th year recommendation for the design of Model City street improvements. Same. No additional recommendations.. - 2 - Areas Issues Wynwood Maintain the program at the existing level Staff concurs. of service that was approved by the City Commission on January 15, 1981.

Allapattah Recommendations 1) Fund only one economic development group for S50,000 preferably the Allapattah Merchant Association. 2) With the $50,000 balance previously allocated to economic development, fund a crime prevention program which would establish linkages between law enforce- ment agencies, local businesses, and the community in order to reduce crime in the neighborhood. 3) Increase the funding of the Elderly Service Program by $20,000. Staff Options 1) Maintain staff recommendations to allocate the $50,000 from economic development to street improvements and exclude community recommendations =2 and »3. 2) Increase the funding of the elderly program by an additional 51j'. 3) To fund only the increase of $20,000 for the elderly service program and the remaining S30,000 to be used for street improvements. 4) To fund both programs with the $50,000 previously allocated to economic development. Since both programs are going to be operated by the same agency, we can accomplish substantial cost savings by combining the two. Coconut Grove Community Recommendations Accepted the Community Development package as -is. No additional recommendations. Staff Recommendation Same. Richard Fosmoen 2/26/81 page 2 Downtown Community Recommendations 1) Recommended an increase of funding for the Elderly Service Program from $20,000 to $47,969. Staff Options 1) Maintain staff recommendations to fund the elderly service program for $20,700. 2) Increase the funding of the elderly service program by an additional 5;'7. 3) Increase the funding for the program to $29,287. This amount was specified by the agency as being sufficient to meet the direct and indirect costs needed to maintain operations at the existing level. 2) The target area also stated that the worst problem downtown was that of parking and that they would like to have it resolved. A tram or bus service can not be funded in the downtown area by Community Development because Section 570.201(e)(2) restricts public service to residents of the Neighborhood Strategy Area. In the case of downtown, most people utilizing this service will not be residents of the area and thereby not eligible. Also, Community Development funds must be used to address the needs of low and moderate income persons. The Planning Department will continue working with OTA and DDA to find another solution to the problem. Edison/Little River Community Recommendations . Approved the recommendations, but stated that the two economic development programs should be funded at the same level. This was in reference to Little River Commerce Association which will receive additional funding from the county for economic development. Staff stated that this funding was to permit the program to serve the unincorporated area. As stated by staff, the funds provided by the county to Little River Commerce Association are to serve the unincorporated area. Staff still recommends $50,000 for each of the two programs. All economic development programs should look for additional funds from the Community Development Corporation Support and Assistance programs being provided by the state. Little Havana Compunity Recommendations 1) Requested that the funding for all social service agencies in Little Havana be increased an additional 5 An increase of 5across the board for all social service agencies in the city would increase our allocation to social service programs by approximately $63,000. Richard Fosmoen 1/26/81 page 3 Little Havana Community Recommendations (cont'd) 2) Miriam Canas also requested funds for her agency, ACCION. This request is for approximately $15,000. Staff does not recommend any new social service programs. In addition, this is a Dade County program which should be funded by them. 3) Commissioner Plummer stated that if Little Havana agencies received an addi- tional 5r", all social service agencies should receive the same increase and all funding"shouid come from within the target area. Presently there is only one physical project in the seventh year recom- mendation for Little Havana -- Jose Marti Park. If increased funding for social service programs is recommended, this funding should be provided from the fith year balance $108,750 of Little Havana Street Improvements. There are not sufficient funds to construct this project. This project would be discontinued. model City Community Recommendations Requested that Tacolcy be increased in funding from S57,900 to $99,199. This increase is necessary to meet the increased workload at the center due to its expansion. Staff Options 1) Maintain staff recommendation to fund the program at $57,900. 2) Increase the funding of Tacolcy by an additional 5`J'. 3) Increase the funding for the program'to $82,900, an increase of $25,000. This amount would be reallocated from the 7th year recommendation for the design of street improvements. V!yn:•rood Community Recommendations Requested an increase in funding for the Senior Citizen recreation and Trans- portation Program from $90,700 to $120,455. Staff concurs. At the City Commission meeting of January 15, 1981, the City Commission recommended an increased allocation of $12,463 for the program. In order to maintain the program at the existing level, an allocation of $120,455 during the 7th year will be required. They also requested an increase in tie Child Care Program of $20,000 in order to be able to provide a transportation component. Richard Fosmoen 1/26/81 page 4 Wynwood Community Recommendations (cont'd) Staff rejects this request for the following reason: The city does not fund any child care programs to implement transportation components. Historically, it has been the responsibility of parents to take children to and from child care sites. They also requested that the $10,000 balance from Robert E. Lee Park be re- allocated to Roberto Clemente Park for the preparation of a gymnasium. This is not part of the seventh year application. We are working with the Parks Department to resolve this. /cr 1�: jami mental blealth center } i ; A United Way Agency i ►�_;�? ! i �l�Uu January 30, 1981 Richard L.
