Purpose of Item:
A Resolution of the City of Miami Commission, authorizing the City Manager to enter into a Use
Agreement with the State of Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) for the use of the
Orange Bowl Stadium, on an as needed basis and subject to availability through December 31, 2007,
as a Disaster Food Stamp (DFS) distribution center for the "Food for Florida" program in the event a
storm hits the South Florida area. Said Resolution further provides for a waiver of the basic use fee
associated with such use.
Background Information:
Last year the City of Miami allowed the DCF to utilize the Orange Bowl Stadium as a post -disaster
food stamp distribution center for the "Food for Florida" program. Last year an estimated 74,000
applicants lined up in the Orange Bowl Stadium parking lot grounds throughout a five day period in
order to receive assistance from DCF through their food stamp program. This program helped offset
some of our citizens financial strain caused by the hurricanes. In an effort to be able to provide this
service again, the administration is recommending the City and DCF enter into this agreement now,
prior to an emergency occuring. DCF's use is subject to the availability in the event of a conflict with
other City contractual obligations,
