Grassie City Manager r-latzt41•40.--) Dena Spillman, Director Citizen Services DATE: September 11, 1979 FILE: SUBJECT: Use of Federal Revenue Sharing Funds for Social Service Programs FY 79-80 REFERENCES: ENCLOSURES: City Commission Public Hearing September 13, 1979 The City of Miami has provided an allocation each year from its Federal. Revenue Sharing funds to supplement social services provided to City of Miami residents. Generally, the funds that the City allocates provide social services beyond that which is provided through sources traditionally responsible for meeting human service needs. This year $523,677 has been set aside to fund social service programs. We have received applications from twelve (12) new programs and fifteen (15) currently funded programs for a total request of $1,702,961. The requested amount is'225% more than the amount available for allocation; therefore, emphasis has been placed on services being provided by existing programs, approved by the City Commission for FY 78-79. It should be noted that, despite the fact that the City of Miami's FRS entitlement has steadily decreased since fiscal year 1976-77, the City has maintained its commitment to the provision of social:,services by increasing its percentage of total funds earmarked for social services. For the past two fiscal years, however, monies from other budget areas have been added to increase this total.' Due to inflation, funds from these sources will not be available to subsidize social service programs. In view of this situation, attached are..five funding options for social. -• service programs representing various program mixes for the coming fiscal year. Each option lists: Agency to be funded Recommended dollar amount Total funds to be allocated Following each option is an explanation of what is to be provided by the funded agencies and alsothe programs from FY 78-79, which would no longer be funded. Currently funded program contracts expire September 30, 1979. Please note that each option contains $36,000 in administrative costs for the Department of Community Development, whose responsibility it is to monitor and financially control social service programs funded through Federal Revenue Sharing. /: r j f Enclosure • Summary `of Recommended Options: Option #1 Option #2 Option #3 Option Option #5 Currently Funded FRS Agencies New: Requests Action Community Center Youth Voca- Belafonte Tacolcy -tional Prog Belafonte Tacolcy Sports Development Borinquen Health Care Ctr.

Dade County Schools - After School Care: This program provides afterschool care at three (3) sites (Little River Elementary; G.W. Carver Jr. High,and Silver Bluff Elementary) for City residents. Priority is given to children whose parents are working, seeking employment, or in training programs not providing childcare. In FY 79 City FRS funds represented 81% of the program's budget with the balance coming from program fees. The program is centered around organized after -school activities for children•5-14 years of age, from 1:45 to 6:00 p.m. Its aim is to positively effect the learning and develop- ment experiences of the child by expanding and enriching cultural, recreational, and social activities. The three sites currently have approximately 463 clients enrolled and have served approximately 800 unduplicated clients. The program proposes to serve 450 clients in FY 80 (Silver Bluff - 250; Little River - 100; and G.W. Carver - 100). The pro- gram requested $211,734 for FY 80. It was determined through analysis of this program's budget that with a minimal increase in the fee scale, the program could generate a larger percentage of the ;funds .needed to operate. Community Schools: The Community Schools provide approximately 20,000 City residents diversified cultural and educational opportunities.at'thirteen school sites throughout the City of Miami. FRS>funds received in FY wide range of services, including: dance bridge, ceramics, vocational courses', painting, arts and crafts, piano, dramatics,, etc. The program is requesting, funding at. last' year's level. The money allocated to each school pays a portion of the coordinator's salary. This money may also be raised through an increase in the program's-fee structure. Douglas Gardens Adult Senior Day Care: Douglas Gardens serves elderly City residents through a wide range of activities centered around a hot meals program. Other services include, medical services, social and recreational activities and transportation. The amount recommended represents a $25,000 reduction (23%) of the FY 79 award. The recommended amount is also $34,695 below the request for FY 80 ($114,695). While it is obvious that reduced funding may effect some program services, it has been determined through analysis of the program's budget that certain services can be provided at a substantially lower cost. City FRS funds represent 92% of the program's total budget, with the balance comprised of donations. The program serves 125 unduplicated clients per year, 35/day. First United Methodist Church: This hot meal program is recommended 'at the same level as FY 79, but $3,998 less than the FY 80 request. FRS fundsprovide the; salary for the program coordinator. In addition to hot' meals, 'the program provides entertainment such as, games,singing, movies, excercise plans.; bingo, etc.` City FRS'funds represent 13% of the program's FY 79 budget. The program serves 524 clients Pr year, 110 per day. -3 4 James E. Scott Community Association - Coconut Grove: The amount recommended represents a $417 reduction of the FY 79 award and $7,209 less than the FY 80 request. The program provides hot meals and various cultural, social and recreational services to approximately 250 clients per year, 115 per day. The program has experienced a greater demand for its services than anticipated; therefore, unless the program is able to attract additional funds, the program will have to reduce its current service level. FRS funds represent 35% of the program's total budget for FY 79. James E. Scott Community. Association - Culmer: The amount recommended is the program's request for FY 80. The amount is a $6,353 reduction of the FY 79 award. In FY 79, 61% of the FRS funds was for the purchase of food for the meals component of the program. A total of 63% of the funds is pro- posed for food purchase in FY 80. The program serves approximately 150 unduplicated clients per year, 85 per day. The program has requested a reduction in funds because the demandfor its services did not meet expectations as in the Coconut Grove area. The Culmer program provides the same overall services as the Coconut Grove program. FRS funds represent 37% of the program's total budget for FY 79. Little Havana Activities Center: This program provides elderly multiple services centered around a hot meals component. Funding at this level represents a $16,000 reduction (18%) of the FY 79 FRS award. The award will allow the agency to provide a mealsprogram with limited reductions in other program service areas. City funds provide, hot meals at two sites, Peters Plaza in Edison Little River, and at Industrial. Home for the Blind in the Little Havana CommunityCenter.'The program serves approximately 1,500 clients per year, P 9 120 per day. Competition for available resources has been keen, and many commendable programs. have been reviewed. Due to limited resources,these�programs�have not been recom mended under this option. Included are'the following programs, funded in_FY'78-79 with FRS funds: Action Community Center Belafonte Tacolcy. Youth Vocational. Belafonte Tacolcy - Sports Development Borinquen Health Care Center Catholic Service. Bureau - Miami Bridge Catholic Service Bureau - 0vertown Day Care Industrial Home for the Blind St. Albans Day Care City of Miami Day Care 4 AGENCY City Day Care Dade County Schools FRS FUNDING OPTION #2 After School Care Community Schools Match three agencies up to $10,000 for food Administration; -5- FUNDING OPTION #2 This option provides full funding at FY 79 levels to City of Miami Day Care and Dade County After School Care and Community Schools. $30,000 is recommended to supplement three of the five meals programs previously funded by the City at • $10,000 each. The allocation of administrative funds for the Community Develop- ment Department is only half the requested amount, which if approved would neces- sitate a cut in staff. City of Miami - Day Care: This program is operated by the City of Miami at four (4) sites throughout the City. Three (3) are located in City parks (Moore, Eaton and Shenandoah), while the other is a converted private home in Edison Little River. The program pro- vides comprehensive day care services to children ages 2 to 5. FRS funds re- present 53% of the program's total budget. The program is currently serving a total of 161 clients at the four sites. This program charges fees on a sliding scale and through a minimal increase in fees could possibly become self-supporting. The City's Day Care Program's average cost per child totals $2,985. Dade County Schools - After School Care: This; program provides after -school care at three (3) sites (Little River Elementary; G.W. Carver Jr. High, and Silver Bluff Elementary) for City residents. Priority is given to children whose parents are working, seeking' employment, or int training programs not providing child-care. In;FY 79, City FRS funds represented 81% of the Program's budget with the balance coming from program fees. The program is centered around organized after -school activities for children 5-14 years of age, from 1:45 to 6:00 p.m. Its aim is to positively effect the learning and development expe- riences of the child by expanding and enriching cultural, recreational, and social activities. The three sites currently have approximately 463 clients enrolled and have served approximately 800 unduplicated clients. The program proposes to serve 450 clients in FY 80 (Silver Bluff - 250; Little River - 100; and G.W. Carver - 100). The program requested $211,734 for FY 80. It was determined through analysis of this program's budget that with a minimal increase in the fee scale, the program could generate a larger percentageof the funds needed to operate. Community Schools:' The Community Schools provide approximately 20,000 City residents diversified cultural and educational: opportunities at thirteen school sites throughout the City of Miami. FRS' funds' received'in FY 79 represented 11% of the total budget for' the sites funded. The program offers a wide range of services, including: dance, bridge, ceramics, vocational courses, painting, arts and crafts, piano, dramatics, etc. The program is requesting funding at last year's level. The money allocated to each school pays a portion of the coordinator's salary. This money may also be raised through an increase in the program's fee structure. As a result of this option, the following programs currently funded through City of Miami FRS are not recommended for funding. Action Community Center Belafonte Tacolcy - Sports Development Program Belafonte Tacolcy - Youth Vocational Training Program Borinquen/P.R.O.C. Catholic Service Bureau - Miami Bridge Catholic Service Bureau - Overtown Recreation Center; * Douglas Gardens Adult Senior Day Care * First United Methodist Church Industrial Home for the Blind * J.E.S.C.A. Hot Meals - Coconut Grove * J.E.S.C.A. Hot Meals - Culmer * Little Havana Activities Center St. Alban's Day Care * It should be noted that it is recommended that three (3) agencies''providing. meals programs be matched, up to $10,000 for. food.'

Twoof.the 'six (6) are being recommended for funding but at a different level than in FY 79. James E.:Scott 'Community Association - Coconut Grove: The amount recommended here increases the amount allocated to J.E.S.C.A. in FY 79 to operate this program by $6,375, which represents an 18% increase. JESCA Coconut Grove has experienced a greater demand for its services than was anticipated. There is a demonstrated need for the additional services. The demand for increased services warrants the recommendation for funding above the FY 78-79 level for J.E.S.C.A. Coconut Grove. It should be further pointed out that the application for both the J.E.S.C.A. Coconut Grove site and Culmer site have been reviewed as a single request from the sponsoring agency. The increase in funding at the Coconut Grove site is offset by a decrease in funding at the Culmer site. James E.-Scott Community Association - Culmer: The amount listed is a decrease of $6,353 over last year's (FY 79) allocation because the agency requested less. The demand for services was not as high as the program had anticipated. Belafonte Tacolcy -_'Sports Development: This option recommends that this program, previously funded at $11,000, be eliminated This is due in partto the fact that Tacolcy also operates a similar program with Community, Development funds, which should be able to absorb the activities of the Sports Development Program. Dade County Schools - After -School Care Conmunity Schools Neither of these programs are -recommended:under this option. An increase in the program's fee>structure shouldproduce sufficient revenue to operate the program with aminimal reduction in services City of Miami- Day Care: Under this option, this: program is not'recommended for funding. An increase in the program's fee structure should.result in sufficient` revenue to operate the City Day Care Program with a' minimal reduction in services.

Cul mer 25,872 Little Havana Activities Center 84,710 Administration FUNDING OPTION #4 This option proposes continued funding for all but three (3) social service programs awarded funds in FY 79. Minimal reductions are recommended for several programs, necessitated by the limited resources available for allocation. The following agencies are recommended to receive a minimal reduction in funding: Action Community Center: A reduction of $3,000 is recommended due to the fact that salary savings will be accrued on two CETA positions which have had salary supplements covered by Community Development funds from July 1, 1979 to September 30, 1979. When the CETA eligibility expires for these positions, CD funds will cover the salaries for the remainder of the year. FRS funds represented 20% of the program's total budget. The program served approximately 5,000 unduplicated clients (20,000 one way trips). Borinquen Health Care Center: A reduction of $1,800 is recommended. A portion of this total $1,269 is due to the allocation of this amount to supplement a position which no longer exists. An additional $531 is recommended for reduction because it was determined that the $1,589 line item requested for printing was too high, particularly since this is not an item specifically dealing with services. The agency is requesting FRS funds for the operation of the Health Care Center due to a loss of HEW funds. The Puerto Rican Opportunity Center component of this program is being phased out because the Puerto Rican Forum is providing basically the same services as Puerto Rican Opportunity Center. FRS funds represent 3% of the agency's total budget. Catholic Service Bureau - Overtown Recreation Center: A reduction of $9,000 (23%) is recommended for this program based on the premise that the City match the $31,000 appropriation provided by the Catholic Service Bureau. FRS funds represent 19% of the program's total budget. The program's proposed cost per client ($2,656.59) is high in comparison to other private day carecenters funded by the City and it is felt that more efficient utilizationof fundsand staff may considerably reduce the cost per client. Dade County Schools After.. School Care: The funding recommendation of $56,502 for this program is a $135,515 reduction (71%) from FY 78-79. It is recommended that the number of after -school care sites be adjusted. This award will provide continued services with significant service reductions or program adjustments. An increase in the program's fee structure would generate additional funds for this program. The fee structure currently is set at $2 per week per child minimum to an $8 per week per child maximum. At this rate, the program should derive between $46,800 to $187,200 in client fees. Dade County Schools - Community. Schools: It is recommended that Community Schools be awarded $10,000, a reduction of $60,000 (79%) from its FY 78-79 award. It is further recommended that number of sites be reduced. Douglas Gardens: A reduction of $6,269 is recommended which effects three areas of the program. A reduction of $661 is recommended in the line item covering retirement. This is predicated on the premise that awards are made on a year-to-year basis and there is no commitment for continuation. Therefore, it is not the intention of the City to fund fringe benefits applicable to a career type employee. This should be the responsibility of the agency itself. No other agency funded by the City uses FRS funds for pension purposes. It was also determidit that the line item Public Rel ''3ns and Advertising be reduced $1,344 below 'the 1978/79 allocation (from $2,015). This decision is based on the fact that direct services are not being provided in this category. Finally, it is recommended that the proposed line item for food be reduced from $17,050 to the FY 79 allocation of $12,790. It is also recommended that the agency provides the same 9,880 meals during FY 80 as it has in FY 78-79 (instead of the 10,240 proposed for 79-80). Based on the 78-79 allocation, the City cost per meal during the current year is .$1.29 ($12,790 award = 9,980 meals proposed). Funding the same number of meals at the same City cost, results in a line item savings of $4,260. The program request for 79-80 states that the cost per meal will be ap- proximately $2.25 ($2.08 for meals and approximately 17t for containers). At an award of $1.29 per meal, City costs would represent 57% of the cost per meal. The program's budget indicates that the remaining 43% (96t) is received from projected donations. According to information received from Health and Rehabilitative Services (H.R.S.), a nutritionally sound Kosher meal may be purchased from $1.34'- 1.90 per meal.. If the City were to fund meals at the same rate (57%) per meal, there would be an appreciable savings in accordance with the scale received from H.R.S. ;`FRS funds represented 92% of the program's total FY 78-79 budget. J.E.S.C.A. - Culmer: A reduction of $3,811 from the 1979-80 FRS request is recom- mended predicated on the fact that clients have decreased and the agency may serve fewer meals and at the same time eliminate excess food losses. It is recommended that the site order only 55 meals per day at $1.07 per meal instead of the 60 or 70 currently ordered. A Citizen Services monitoring team found that the maximum number of meals served per day during a month period (based on a random sample of 10 service days) was 55 and this occurred only once. By lowering the meals served to 55, the resultant savings would be $3,811. FRS funds represented 39% of the program's total budget for FY 79. J.E.S.C.A. - Coconut Grove: It is recommended that the reduction of $3,811 at the J.E.S.C.A. Culmer site be added to the Coconut Grove site 1978/79 allocation due to a higher demand for services in this area. This would mean an 11% increase over FY 79. FRS funds represented 35% of the program's total budget for FY 79. Little Havana Activities Center: It is recommended that $1,290 be reduced from the 1978/79 allocation. This reduction is in the Personnel line item and is based on the premise that the receptionist position and custodian position should not be funded 100% by City of Miami FRS funds because of the agency's overall services and the employees' support to other funded programs within the agency. By providing 90% support, a reduction of $1,290 is effectuated. FRS funds represented 7% of the program's total budget for FY 79. As stated previously, this option does not provide funding for three (3) programs funded in FY 79. Those'. programs are: Belafonte Tacolcy Youth Vocational Program Belafonte Tacolcy Sports Development Program City of 'Miami Day Care FRS FUNDING OPTION #5 AGENCY RECOMMENDED AMOUNT Action Community Center $ 27'000 Borinquen Health Care 26996`: Catholic Service Bureau -°Miami-Bridge 14411 • Douglas Gardens Adult Service' Day Care. 98731 Dade County Schools After,School-Care 80,752 ' = Community Schools 70000 9,358„. 10,000+'.

The program served approximately 5,000 unduplicated clients (20,000 one way trips). Borinquen Health Care Center: A reduction of $1,800 is recommended. A portion of this total $1,269 is due to the allocation of this amount to supplement a position which no longer exists. An ad- ditional $531 is recommended for reduction because it was determined that the $1,589 line item requested for printing was too high, particularly since this is not an item specifically dealing with services. The agency is requesting FRS funds for the operation of the health care facility due to a loss of HEW funds. The Puerto Rican Opportunity Center (PROC) component of this program is being phased out because the Puerto Rican Forum is providing basically the same services at P.R.O.C. FRS funds represent 3% of the agency's total budget. Dade County Schools - After School Care: The funding recommendation of $80,752 for this program is a $111,265 reduction (58%) from FY 78-79. It is recommended that this amount be allocated to all three sites. The program has demonstrated the ability to generate additional funds through a minimal increase in its fee structure. The fee structure currentlyis set at $2 per week per child minimum to an $8 per week per child maximum. At this rate, the program should derive between $46,800 to $187,200 in client fees. A reduction of $6,269 is recommended which effects three areas of the program. A reduction of $661 is recommended in the line item covering retirement. This is pre- dicated on the premise that awards are made on a year-to-year basis and there is no commitment for continuation. Therefore, it is'not ,the intention of the City to fund fringe benefits applicable to a career type employee. This should be the responsi- bility of the agency itself. No other agency funded by the City uses FRS funds for pension purposes. It was also determined that the line item Public Relations and Advertising be re- duced $1,344 below the 1978/79 allocation (from $2,015). This decision is based on the fact that direct services are not being provided in this category. Finally, it is recommended that the proposed line item forfood be reduced from $17,050 to the FY 79 allocation of $12,790. It is also recommended that the agency provides the same 9,880 meals during FY 80 as it has in FY 78-79 (instead of the 10,240 proposed for 79-80). Based on the ':78-79-allocation, the City cost per meal during the current year is $1.29 ($12,790 award : 9,980 meals proposed). Funding the same number of meals at the same' City cost, results in a line item savings of $4,260. The program request for 79-80 states that the cost per meal will be ap- -14- proximately $2.25 ($2.08 for meals, and; approximately 17t for containers). At an award of $1.29 per meal, City costs would represent 57%:`of the cost per meal. The program's budget, indicates that the remaining 43% (960 is received from projected donations. According to information received from Health and Rehabilitative Services (H.R.S.), a nutritionally sound Kosher meal may•.be purchased from $1.34 - 1.90 per meal. If the City were to fund meals at the same rate (57%) per meal, there would be an appreciable savings in accordance with the scale received from H.R.S. FRS funds represented 92% of the program's total FY 78-79 budget:' J.E.S.C.A. — Coconut Grove: It is recommended that the reduction of $3,811 at the J.E.S.C.A. Culmer site be added to the Coconut Grove site 1978/79 allocation due to a higher demand for services in this area. This would mean an 11% increase over FY 79. FRS funds represented 35% of the program's total budget for FY 79. J.E.S.C.A. - Culmer: A reduction of $3,811 from the 1979-80 FRS request is recommended predicated on the fact that clients have decreased and the agency may serve fewer meals and at the same time eliminate excess food losses. It` is recommended that the site order only 55 meals per day at $1.07 per meal instead of the 60 or 70 currently ordered. A Com- munity Development monitoring team found that the maximum number of meals served per day during a month aeriod (based on a random sample of 10 service days) was 55 and this occurred only once. By lowering the meals served to 55, the resultant savings would be $3,811. FRS funds represented 39% of the program's total budget for FY 79. Little Havana Activities Center: It is recommended that $1,290 be reduced from the 1978/79 allocation. This reduction is in the Personnel line item and is based on the premise that the receptionist position; and custodian position should not be funded 100% by City of Miami FRS funds because of the agency's overall services and- ,an&the employees'. support to other funded programs within the agency. By providing 90%.support, a reduction of $1,290 is ef- fectuated. FRS funds represented 7% of the program's total budget for FY 79. As stated previously, this option .does not provide funding for five (5) programs funded in FY 79. Those programs are: Belafonte Tacolcy - Youth. Vocational Program.

This reduction, according to the Office of. Revenue Sharing, is due to the City's decline in relative need for. FRS funds based on a complicated 'formula. The final allocation of FRS by purpose is as follows: General Fund Street Lights 'Recreation Ext. Parks Mech. Social Service Day Care African Sq. Pk.

(4.35) (.60) 14.97 (100.00) T(S•17) The $426,325 reduction in FRS funds is 5.170 less than the .FY'79 entitle- ment. The loss is absorbed by adjusting the allocations for the General Fund and Day Care. With regard to Day Care, it is proposed that it become self-supporting. To achieve this end, it is suggested that fees be instituted along with other nonmunicipal grants in sufficient amounts to support the day care activities. In reference to the General Fund the loss was absorbed by departmental reductions. *It should be noted that in FY179 the General Operating Budget ontribirted $183,012 to. a number of social 'service programs that were not funded by the FRS - Social Service Category. Two of "these programs --After School and Community ":School- received $116,276 of the $183,012 General Operating Funds. P f. It should also be noted that two programs previously funded from the FRS - Social Service Category prior to FY'79 were funded in FY'79 by the General Operating Budget. These programs --After School and Community School --are not proposed for funding in the General Operating Budget for FY'80. It is proposed that they also become self-supporting through the institution of fees and other nonmunicipal grants.
