AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY FORM CONTINUED
Background Information:
On February 17, 2009, the President of the United States signed the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009 which included an allocation for Community Development Block Grant —
Recovery Act ("CDBG-R") funds.
The CDBG-R is designed to stimulate the economy through measures that modernize the Nation's
infrastructure, improve energy efficiency and conservation through rehabilitation or retrofitting of
existing buildings, and expand educational opportunities and access to health care.
Pursuant to Resolution No. 09-0261, adopted on May 28, 2009, the Miami City Commission
approved the acceptance of CDBG-R funds in the amount of $2,218,946 from the United States
Department of Housing and Urban Development ("HUD").
Pursuant to Resolution No. 09-0262, adopted on May 28, 2009, the Miami City Commission
approved a substantial amendment to the City's Annual Action Plan which included an allocation of
$1,597,641 for street improvement.
CIP is responsible for the planning, coordination, implementation, and monitoring of all construction
related capital projects in the City of Miami, and for the financial management of all capital funds.
The Administration recommends the transfer of CDBG-R funds in the amount of $1,597,641 and
allocating said funds to CIP for public facilities and improvement activities for the renovation of
roadways in primarily residential low to moderate income areas of the City.
