City Manager
SUBJECT: REQUEST TO ADOPT A MISSION STATEMENT FOR THE CITY OF
MIAMI BEACH AND THE MIAMI BEACH HOUSING AUTHORITY
Administration Recommendation:
To adopt the attached Resolution which approves a Mission
Statement developed by the City Administration in cooperation
with the Miami Beach Housing Authority.
Background:
The Miami Beach Housing Authority has accumulated reserves
which substantially exceed the amount necessary for prudent
management. Through negotiation, a preliminary agreement to
utilize these funds as well as a portion of annual surplus
revenues has been achieved. The intent is to improve the
living environment of people in Section 8 and other subsidized
housing. The agreement is embodied in the attached Mission
Statement.
The City Administration initially met with the Housing
Authority Administration, Board Chairman and Legal Counsel. At
that meeting the Mission Statement was developed.
Subsequently, the Housing Authority at a special meeting on
June 24 , 1992 , adopted the Mission Statement. It is now
appropriate for the City Commission to also endorse the
document.
Analysis:
The objective of the Mission Statement and further agreements
to be developed is to leverage limited resources in a way that
provides meaningful upgrading of the neighborhoods in the
North and South Beach areas.
While the Housing Authority's share will originate from its
accumulated reserves, the City' s portion will be derived from
public improvements, special assessments, and the continued
use of Community Development Block Grant funds.
The City and Housing Authority representatives will meet with
U.S. HUD in the next few weeks to determine eligible uses of
funds.

in upgrading neighborhoods, which demonstrably serve
subsidized housing. The cooperative spirit exhibited to date
is encouraging. Your support of the Mission Statement will be
extremely helpful in our presentation to the Jacksonville HUD
Area Office.
