W."Andrews City Manager DATE SUf3JECT: REFERENCES: ENCLOSURES: JUL 1 2 1376 FILE• Eleemosynary Use - 2929 N.W. 17th Street The Sunrise School for the Retarded has made an appeal for special administrative and City Commission assistance in considering their application for eleemosynary use of the property located at 2929 N.W. 17th Street (Parkway facility). Their letter of request is attached and expresses the emergency condition-; that exit on the continuation of their servicing 53 handicapped, retarded children. In an effort to assist the Sunrise School for the Retarded, the Administration has placed this matter on the July 22, City Commission Agenda and has publicly advertised and noticed interested parties.At the July 21, 197G, Planning Advisory Board Meeting, an announcement will be made of the proposed July 22 City Commission consideration of this item. Due to the physical inability to provide the Miami City Commission with the written minutes and action of the Planning Advisory Board, the Sunrise School for the Retarded is asking the City Commission to waive the five day rule and to take formal action on this matter at their July 22 City Commission Meeting. A verbal explanation of the factors involved and the action of the Planning Advisory Board, will he given by the staff, if you choose to hear this item. t l •Ibirifan, ,ti'on•profit School .for thr.

President, Board of Directors Mr. Paul Andrews City Manager's office 3500 Pan American Drive Miami, Florida 33133 Dear Mr. Andrews: THE SUNRISE SCHOOL for the retarded 22300 S.W. 162nd (Avenue Goulds, Florida 33170 Phone: 248-2442 Jay 7, 1976 The purpose of this letter is to request that Sunrise School, a residential care facility serving 53 multiply handicapped retarded children, be added to the July 22, 1976 City of Miami Commission hearing agenda as an emergency item for consideration. Sunrise School for the Retarded has secured a lease from Dade County for partial use of a building presently being used by Dade County's Division of Youth Services located at 2929 NW 17 St. in the City of Miami. It is our understanding that the request to occupy this building, will be presented to the City of Miami's Planning and Advisory Board for their review and recommendation on July 21, 1976. We have been informed that there is an ordinance which prohibits any item from being placed on the commission agenda unless it is received by the commission at least eight days prior to the hearing. Since, in this case, the decision of the Planning Advisory Board can only be ascertained one day prior to the commission hearing, we are requesting that the eight day stipulation be waived so the commission can act on the board's recommendations on July 22, 1976. We are aware of the gravity of this request and the hardships it may work upon your staff. However, Sunrise School must occupy the Parkway Facility on August 1, 1976 in order to retain certification as a Medicaid provider under Title XIX, a federal reimbursement prograu for intermediate care facilities serving the rr.entally retarded (ICF/Mf). Formerly The Exceptional Children's School & Nursery Horne, Inc. i 1r: Paul Andrews City Mar•ager's Office Sunrise School's precarious financial situation and the condition of its presently condemned buildings, mandate ar. August 1st occupancy date of Parkway Ch-ildrer.'s };ome in orcer tc survive. The school does not have the resources to operate until September, the next cerrmission hearing, without federal financial assistance. This federal assistance cannot be secured urtil Sunrise occupies a facility that structurally meets the requirements of the Medicaid Program. Therefore, unless the City of Miami's Commissioners arras willing to review the Planning Advisory Board's recommendations on July 22, 1976, fifty three retarded children, presently receiving quality care on a very personal level, will be transferred to one or more of the State's overpopulated Sunland Training Centers. The fact that this agency, praised by federal and state authorities as being one of the finest serving profoundly retarded children, may fail within three weeks of securing federal support is a cruel, tragic and unacceptable conclusion to months of struggling by hundreds of people connected with the effort to save Sunrise School. Anything the great City of Miami can do to expedite this request, thus saving the school, will be remembered and appreciated by us all. Sincerely, Z.

They assured us, that they have a very capable staff, their plans.for.refurbtshing the property will more than meet -the -State, County and City.safety codes and they will be valuable to our community. Mention was made of the pool, too. Mr. Leech' said they would not be able to use this part of the propert, due to the limitations of the patients. During 'our discussion on thin matter many agreed the pool should be covered and landscaped or filled with dirt as a safety feature for future tenants or leasors.
