RE: Proposed amendment to Chapter 18, Article III, Section 18-72 for
the City Commission Meeting on December 10, 2015.
(File No. 15-01463)
Chapter 18, Article III, Section 18-72 of the Code of the City of Miami, Florida ("City
Code") is being amended to better comport with current City of Miami procedures in
expending federal community and economic development funds, The Amendment ensures that
the utilization of the federal funds are not frustrated by the City Code, as long as the
expenditure is in compliance with the Code of Federal Regulations, which are most applicable
to the utilization of federal funds. Such an amendment will ensure that federal funds being
used for low -to -moderate income assistance programs are compliant with the City Code when
following federal regulations, which favor a different distribution process. The amendment
further codifies the existing past practice followed by the City relative to these activities.
