A motion was made by Angel Gonzalez, seconded by Tomas Regalado, that this matter be ADOPTED. Chairman
Sanchez: We move on to ItE.3. RE.3 is a grant agreement, an amended grant agreement with Accion Community
Center. is that the item?
Mary Conway (Director, Capital Improvement Projects & Transportation): Yes. Mary --
Chairman Sanchez: All right.
Ms. Conway: -- Conway, CI') (Capital Improvement Projects) and Transportation. This is a resolution to amend the
existing grant agreement i'or a one-year extension with the provision of three additional one-year extensions that
would have to come back before the Commission, and Melon has been providing circulator services within the City.
Chairman Sanchez: All right.
Vice Chairman Gonzalez: Move 12E3.
Chairman Sanchez: It is a resolution.
Commissioner Regalado: Second.
Chairman Sanchez: There is a motion by Vice Chairman Gonzalez, second by Commissioner Regalado. The item is
under discussion. Any discussion on the item?
Commissioner Winton: Yeah, question. This seems to me like -- and we're going to have this discussion over and
over and over again, and from what I understand, Accion provides one heck of a service; it is transportation oriented,
and the last time I checked, Miami -Dade County was responsible for transportation countywide, and I'm wondering
what their excuse is for not picking up this tab. I already know the answer, but you know, there ought to be some
public conversation about the fact that Miami -Dade County is responsible for transportation. Here we have an
outstanding circulator system that's important to residents of the City of Miami that the private sector is doing, and
we still have to pay.
Chairman Sanchez: All right. Any other discussion on the item?
Commissioner Winton: It's more a rhetorical statement than a real question, so I'm done.
Chairman Sanchez: And it's well stated. Any further discussion on this item? Let me just state on this item, several
years ago Accion, due to the financial crisis that we had, based on the CDBG (Community Development Block Grant)
funds, the -- Accion provided just about citywide services to the entire city. Now, with the cutbacks -- we had a
cutback -- this will alleviate to be able to provide more transportation, not only to certain districts, but the entire
district that's out there. Because I'll tell you one thing, as we've seen in the past, there are more and more elderly and
disabled in our community that rely on these transportation, and the worst thing that I have experienced as a
Commissioner is when a disabled person calls my office or an elderly person calls my office and said, "Look, 1 called
for transportation to go out and get my medicine picked up at the pharmacy," or other reasons, and they're not able to
get that transportation. I know there are companies out there that specialize in that, and they do receive fundings
from us and the County, but .I think this is a perfect concept where the City and the County and all the resources that
are available can come together to make sure that we're able to provide that adequate transportation to these people
that cannot help themselves, because they can't get from point A to point B by themselves, and if you don't believe
me, go out there and see people that are living alone, don't have any family in this community, and they have to rely
on these social services programs, so I continue to be a champion on that, and ] know that this legislative body and
the administration focuses on providing all the resources and assistance to these organizations that provide
transportation for these individuals that are based on -- that are facing those crisis right now, that they don't have
any transportation. I just wanted to state that on the record. It continues to be one of my priorities as a
Commissioner. All right. It's a resolution that does not require a public hearing. All in favor, say "aye."
The Commission (Collectively): Aye.
