Authorization for the Mayor and City Clerk to execute any related agreements. Issue: Should the City of Miami Beach Commission amend One Year Action Plans in order to reallocate prior year unspent CDBG and ESG funds? Item Summary/Recommendation: Periodically, it is necessary to reallocate prior year unspent CDBG and ESG funds in order to fund new or amended activities. These new or amended activities have been identified to receive funding based on their need in the community and their ability to expend the funds in a timely manner (see Exhibit 1 ). This reallocation of funds is necessary to maximize the City's use of federal funds. These actions also keep the City in compliance with HUD's federal regulation for CDBG grantees to expend funds in a timely manner. Advisory Board Recommendation: On June 17, 2003, the Community Development Advisory Committee approved the reallocation of funds as outlined in Exhibit 1.

Gonzalez {.. ~ City Manager i~ p't~) A RESOLUTION'OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING THE ONE YEAR ACTION PLANS FOR FEDERAL FUNDS FOR FISCAL YEARS 1995/1996, 1997/1998, 199811999, 1999~2000, 2000/2001,200112002, AN D 2002~2003, TO REPROGRAM PRIOR YEAR CDBG FUNDS IN THE AMOUNT OF $1,291,142 AND UNSPENT ESG FUNDS IN THE AMOUNT OF $335, AS DESCRIBED IN EXHIBIT I; AND FURTHER AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND CITY CLERK TO EXECUTE THE RELATED AGREEMENTS FOR THE REALLOCATION OF THE AFOREMENTIONED FUNDS. The City of Miami Beach is an entitlement recipient of federal formula grant programs from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Each year, the City prepares an annual One-Year Action Plan detailing how it intends to allocate funds received from HUD to conduct eligible activities for the benefit of Iow and moderate-income Miami Beach residents. The City Commission will consider the Fiscal Year 2003/04 One- Year Action Plan component of the Five Year Consolidated Plan for Federal Funds at this July 30, 2003 City Commission meeting. From time to time, the City amends the One Year Action Plans for Federal funds for purposes of reallocating prior year unspent funds to fund new or amended activities. The reallocation of funds ensures maximum use of federal funds. HUD requires that CDBG grantee communities like Miami Beach not have a balance of unexpended CDBG funds on hand greater than 1.5 times the total annual amount of their CDBG award. HUD checks to see if this ratio is in compliance 60 days prior to the end of the grantee's fiscal program year. Oftentimes, the City is able to maintain the required 1.5 timeliness expenditure ratio by reprogramming funds. Currently, the timeliness ratio is 1.55, however, the City expects to meet its timeliness test prior to the end of the fiscal program year (July 31, 2003) and thus be in compliance. A summary of the proposed amendments to the Plan are listed in Exhibit I. Amendments to the One Year Action Plan for FY 2000/01, 2001/02 and 2002/03 include reallocating unspent funds to fund new Fiscal Year 2003/04 activities. Among the new activities to be funded are the change in use of CDBG funds from rehabilitation in the amount of $501,221 to new construction for Fire Station #4; reallocating unspent funds in the amount of $300,000 from prior years to fund the new activity of the Owner Occupied Rehabilitation program which will preserve the existing housing stock and maintain affordable housing for Iow and moderate income persons; reallocating $174,832 from prior year unspent funds for CDBG and ESG Reprogrammed Funds Commission/vfemorandum - July 30, 2003 Page 2 of 2 facility improvements for the Log Cabin Training Center which provides life skills and vocational training for developmentally disabled adults; and to retroactively approve the reallocation of prior year unspent funds for the tree planting activity on 81st Street and Crespi Boulevard and the landscaping of the mini-park at 79th Terrace which occurred during the National Community Development Week celebration of April 21 - 27, 2003. The funds to be reprogrammed under the Emergency Shelter Grants (ESG) program include a small amount of unspent funds from fiscal year 2001/02 to be reallocated to the fiscal year 2003/04 entitlement amount for homeless prevention and homeless support service activities. The proposed reallocation of funds is subject to a 30 day public comment period held from June 12, 2003 to July 11, 2003. No comments were received during the comment period on the proposed amendments. In addition, the members of the Community Development Advisory Committee (CD^C) were advised of the proposed amendments at their June meeting held June 17, 2003. The Ad,~stration recommends approval of the amendments. JMG/~;~/1/VPG/~jjfq r rammed Funds Item doc T:~~O$~iul3OO3\consent~ep og .
