AGENDA ITEM SUMMARY FORM CONTINUED
Background Information:
The Association for the Development of the Exceptional, Inc. ("ADE"), is a non-profit
agency located at 2801 North Miami Avenue, Miami, Florida that provides vocational
training to developmentally disabled adults.
Pursuant to Resolution No. 96-551, adopted July 25, 1996, the City Commission
approved an allocation, in the amount of $47,800.00, from Community Development
Block Grant Funds ("CDBG") to ADE, for the purpose of carrying out public facilities and
improvements to build a kitchen training facility at their location.
Pursuant to Resolution No. 98-402, adopted April 14`h, 1998, the City Commission
approved an additional allocation, in the amount of $50,000.00, to ADE to continue to
build the kitchen training facility at their location.
Pursuant to Resolution No. 05-0477, adopted July 28, 2005, the City Commission
approved an allocation, in the amount of $140,000.00, to ADE to complete the kitchen
training facility which would allow the agency to train persons with disabilities, teaching
the skills necessary to obtain gainful employment.
Pursuant to Resolution No. 07-0265, adopted May 10, 2007, the City Commission
approved an extension of the contract expiration date, to September 30, 2007, for ADE
to secure approved building permits, commence construction, and have the project fully
funded.
At said Commission Meeting, the City Commission directed the Department of
Community Development to cooperate in finding a way to bridge ADE's funding gap,
_approximately_$7D,000.DO.to_$75,000.00,_ta.complete_the_kitchen __training _facility project,
so long as ADE meets the aforementioned requirements.
Pursuant to Resolution No. 07-0695, adopted December 13, 2007, the City Commission
authorized the extension and rollover of accounts of previously approved projects to
September 30, 2008, including ADE's training kitchen project, to ensure the completion
of said projects, and required said agency to execute a five year restrictive covenant with
the City of Miami.
ADE has complied with the three contingencies set in Resolution No. 07-0265.
Twenty percent of the training kitchen facility project is complete.
The additional funding sought will cover the construction shortfall ADE faces.
The Administration therefore recommends the transfer of funds, in the amount of
$72,000.00, from the Department of Community Development 33rd Year Program
Income account to ADE to complete the training kitchen facility construction project.
