ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REQUIRED BY THE HOUSING AND
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ACT OF 1974, AS AMENDED
In order to receive FY 1992/93 Community Development Block
Grant Entitlement funds, the City of Miami Beach is providing the
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, and the general
citizenry, with the following additional information as part of its
FY 1992/93 "Proposed Statement of Objectives and Projected Use of
Funds" .
Low and Moderate Income Benefit
The proposed amount of CDBG funds to be used for activities
directly benefiting low and moderate income persons is
approximately 2 . 0 million dollars, which represents about 90% of
funds available for FY 1992/93 .
The remaining activities will aid in the elimination of slums
or blight, or address a certified urgent need.
Plan to Minimize the Displacement of Persons
As a Result of CDBG-Funded Activities
It shall be the policy of the City of Miami Beach's Economic
and Community Development Department to discourage and/or minimize
the amount of displacement which will occur as a result of approved
CDBG funded activities in such areas as: rehabilitation,
homeownership programs, demolition, or economic development.
Plan to Mitigate Adverse Effects and Assist Persons
Actually Displaced by CDBG Activities
It is the intention of the City of Miami Beach to discourage
the displacement of individuals as a result of activities funded in
whole or in part with CDBG funds. However, in the event that
displacement should occur, the City will comply with the applicable
requirements under Section 104 (d) of the Housing and Community
Development Act of 1974 as amended, and 49 CFR Part 24 of the
Uniform Relocation Assistance and Real Property Acquisition
Policies Act of 1970. The following policies apply to individuals
actually displaced by CDBG activities.
1. The City of Miami Beach will take reasonable actions necessary
to mitigate adverse effects on persons voluntarily or
involuntarily displaced as a result of Community Development
activities.
2 . Tenants and owners will receive those benefits provided for
and outlined under Section 104 (d) of the Housing and
Community Development Act of 1974 as amended, and 49 CFR Part
24 of the Uniform Act.
3 . The City of Miami Beach will carefully evaluate all
prospective and on-going CDBG-funded activities which may
involve involuntary displacement in order to ascertain the
degree of hardship such displacement may cause. Tenants and
owners actually displaced will receive the appropriate
advisory services necessary to minimize hardships in adjusting
to the required relocation.
4 . Under the current program guidelines for the City's Multi-
Family Rehabilitation Programs, only applications for vacant
buildings are generally considered for funding assistance. In
the event an application requiring relocation is accepted, the
buildings requiring either temporary or permanent relocation
will be surveyed to determine relocation needs prior to
approval of the activity. Each proposal will be individually
reviewed to determine if necessary relocation can feasibly be
accomplished. The number of relocation cases and the types of
units will be considered when conducting the case-by-case
review.
•
5. Relocation referral assistance will be provided to persons
being permanently displaced. Efforts will be made to provide
displacees with information regarding a reasonable selection
of comparable dwellings and if requested, in the neighborhood
from which they were displaced. Relocation referral
information may be identified from, but not limited to:
a. Reputable word of mouth referrals.
b. Classified or sign advertisements placed by owners
offering property for rent and/or sale, with
structural and fair market value factors which are
in compliance with HUD standards.
6. Tenants and owners will receive timely and accurate
information regarding the reason for the displacement.
Displacees will be advised, in writing, of their rights,
responsibilities, and applicable benefits, if any.
7 . Grievance procedures have been developed and are followed by
the City's Economic and Community Development Department in
the event that any grievances should occur regarding adequate
replacement housing, eligibility, or the payments to
displacees.
NOTE: Copies of the City of Miami Beach's official Residential
Anti-Displacement and Relocation Assistance Plan are
available for review at the Economic and Community
Development office, 1700 Convention Center Drive, Miami
Beach, Florida.
CITIZEN PARTICIPATION
The City of Miami Beach has an adopted "Citizen Participation
Plan. " Copies of this plan are available for review at the
Economic and Community Development office, 1700 Convention Center
Drive, Miami Beach, Florida.
This "Proposed Statement of Objectives and Projected Use of Funds"
was developed utilizing maximum citizen input and participation
through an extensive planning phase. Copies of the planning phase
schedule are also available.

Development Act of 1974 , as Amended.

Community Development Block Grant Grantee Certifications.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Miami Beach is an "entitlement recipient" of Community
Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the U.S. Department of
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) . This grant is administered by
the Department of Economic and Community Development (E&CD) . For
the past seventeen years, the City has successfully used these
federal funds to effectuate the revitalization of the City, as well
as leverage substantial private sector dollars.
Each year, the City is notified of the allocation of CDBG funds
that it will receive for the next fiscal year commencing on October
1st. This year (Program Year 18) , the City was notified that it
will receive $2, 106, 000. The City Manager is the designated Agent
for the Community Development Block Grant Program, and executes the
Grant Application, Grant Agreement, and other applicable HUD
documents.
The CDBG program legislation was created in 1974 under the Housing
and Community Development Act and subsequently amended. The
statutory national objectives of the program are to: 1)
principally benefit low and moderate income persons, 2) aid in the
prevention and elimination of slums or blight, and 3) address a
certified urgent need. Certain new requirements were added by the
Cranston-Gonzalez National Affordable Housing Act of 1990. The
principal requirement added is the increased benefit to low and
moderate income persons. Therefore, the total CDBG Program budget,
in the aggregate, must now contain activities that principally
benefit low/moderate income persons by at least 70% vs. 60%.
The City Commission is actively involved in the CDBG process twice
per year. In July of each year, the City Commission adopts the
CDBG budget and authorizes submission of the grant to U.B. HUD.
Then, in October, specific contracts with CDBG sub-recipients are
submitted for your approval.
ANALYSIS:
The Year 18 "Proposed Statement of Objectives and Projected Use of
Funds" identifies $2 , 201, 468 in available CDBG resources for Year
18 projects. This total reflects $2 , 106, 000 in Year 18 entitlement
funds, $86, 468 in funds reprogrammed from prior years, and $9, 000
in program income available for Year 18 projects.
•
COMMISSION MEMO
JULY 8, 1992
PAGE 3
Reprogrammed funds come from prior year projects which have been:
completed; have not started; have been dropped for various reasons;
or are7
ro 'ects in which funds are being rolled forward in the same
P
budget category ud et cate or but, for accounting and program management
purposes, are made available as Year 18 funds.
A comprehensive CDBG planning phase was initiated by the E&CD
Department, with two public hearings which were held on March 3rd.
Theur ose of those hearings was to obtain citizen input on the
needs within the community,P mmunit as well as the performance of the City
and its sub-grantees, under the current CDBG Program. The
Community Development Advisory Committee (CDAC) is an eleven member
advisory body operating under a "Citizen Participation Plan" ,
adopted by a Resolution of the City Commission. The CDAC's purpose
is toP rovide input regarding all phases of the Community
Development Program, and to effectuate and encourage citizen
P g
participation. Seven meetings were held by the CDAC, with over
g
-e
twentYi ht evening hours expended, for the purpose of reviewing
proposals. The E&CD Department coordinates the CDBG Planning Phase
as well as the preparation and submission of the CDBG Application
to HUD.
Requests for Proposals (RFPs) , developed by E&CD staff, were made
available to the public on March 2 , 1992 , with submission due on
March 30, 1992 . RFPs are required for all City and non-city
project operators. This year the City received thirty-one RFPs
totaling $4 , 106, 305.
Once all RFPs were received, they were reviewed by the E&CD staff
for: Statutory National Objective compliance, regulatory
eligibility, and feasibility. Concurrently, the CDAC reviewed all
proposals and developed its recommendations for funding. Utilizing
this process, the Administration has been successful in presenting
the City Commission with joint funding recommendations. The E&CD
Department then prepares the "CDBG Proposed Statement of Objectives
and Projected Use of Funds", based on the final recommendations for
funding. The City Commission, following the formal CDBG Public
Hearing on the contents of this Statement, adopts by Resolution,
the CDBG budget in July of each year. The "Final Statement of
Objectives and Projected Use of Funds" (CDBG Application) , is then
finalized and submitted to U.S. HUD in August.
CDBG BUDGET INFORMATION:
Although the enclosed "Computer Sheet" categorizes the budget, we
felt it prudent to bring to your attention specific areas which
require further detail, as follows:
CDBG Administration @ $459, 962 (original budget request @
$489, 798 - reduced by $29, 836) - The Citizen Participation
Plan allows the Administration to utilize 20% of the total
funds available to administer the CDBG Program. This year 20%
of the funds available would permit us to use $507 , 000;
however, in line with cost containment procedures within the
City, we are only recommending funding @ 18. 15%. It should be
noted that this year's funding recommendation is the same as
the current administrative budget, even though the department
will be undertaking substantial and significant additional
programs and responsibilities. Any further reduction to this
line item, would severely impact our ability to administer the
CDBG Program, the new HOME Program, and monitor/manage all of
our sub-recipients.

Miami Beach Rehabilitation Programs @ $366, 606 - This year's
funding recommendation is less than the current allocation for
these programs, even though the City still has to achieve its
Comprehensive Housing Affordability Strategy (CHAS) goals as
expected by HUD. It should be noted that in the past, these
CDBG funds were supplemented by the Rental Rehabilitation
Program which has now been eliminated. Although the City will
be receiving funds under the HOME Program, the HOME
rehabilitation component, due to the stringent and long-term
income targeting requirements, does not replace the multi-
family rehabilitation component. Therefore, it is essential
that we continue to fund the CDBG allocation for housing
rehabilitation in order to continue to upgrade existing
structures, leverage private dollars, and allow us to target
our efforts in the North Beach area.
The Administration is negotiating with the Miami Beach Housing
Authority to utilize a portion of its funds for community
development activities in the City. Our Mission Statement
requires that the City match the Authority's monies. The
Administration's strategy is to use this $366, 606 as part of
our matching funds in order to maximize our leverage.
Miami Beach Development Corporation (MBDC) is the largest
single sub-recipient @ $460, 000 - (Current year allocation @
$412 , 000, will increase by $48, 000. ) Although there is a
joint funding recommendation for the various activities to be
undertaken by MBDC, it should be noted that the Administra-
tion, in conjunction with MBDC, will still need to determine
the actual administrative dollars allowable vs. actual hard
costs permitted by U.S. HUD. This is necessary since MBDC's
Year 18 funding recommendation is higher than the current
level, and they will receive additional funds from Dade County
@ $50, 000 to administer the Homeownership Program. The budget
allocation per activity may also need to be redistributed.
This will be finalized prior to preparation of the applicable
contracts.
In addition, it appears that MBDC will be carrying forward
unspent funds in the Commercial Revitalization/Facade Program
@ $100, 000 minimum. (Current funds available for hard costs -
$174 , 890 of which $66, 642 is tentatively committed; total
uncommitted funds @ $108,248. )
CONCLUSION:
We are pleased to advise you that this year the Administration and
the CDAC have agreed on all recommendations for funding.
Therefore, the "Proposed Statement of Objectives and Projected Use
of Funds" is submitted with the joint approval and recommendation
of the Administration and the Community Development Advisory
Committee (CDAC) . (See attached computer sheet. )
Formal Commission action to approve filing a "Final Statement" is
requested at this meeting. This approval must occur no later than
the July 22 , 1992 meeting since the Commission recesses in August,
and does not meet again until after HUD's submission date for the
"Final Statement" .
