Jorge M. Gonzalez, City Manager 411 DATE December 14, 2011 SECOND READING PUBLIC HEARING SUBJECT AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 2, ARTICLE III DIVISION 26, SECTIONS 2-190.107 AND SECTION 2-190.110 OF THE CITY CODE TO AMEND THE CITY AFFILIATION REQUIREMENTS FOR MEMBERSHIP ON THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE; PROVIDING FOR REPEALER, SEVERABILITY, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE. BACKGROUND The U.S. Housing and Urban Development Department (HUD) requires that entitlement communities, such as the City, prepare and file a Citizen Participation Plan which outlines, among other things, citizen involvement in an advisory role in the planning, implementation and assessment of HUD programs. In 1978, the City submitted a Citizen Participation Plan which outlined the composition of the City's Community Development Advisory Committee (CDAC) The CDAC serves as the City's Advisory Committee that provides input regarding all phases of the housing and community development programs. The City's ordinance requires CDAC members to either be a resident of, or demonstrate ownership/interest in a business established in, a locally designated Community Development target area for a minimum of six months. Appointments to the CDAC are made by the Mayor and City Commissioners, each having two appointees, for a total of 14 members. Vacancies on the CDAC have been an issue and have impacted quorum requirements, prompting the proposal for a change to the Committee composition and/or appointment process to address the recurring issue with vacancies. An amendment was prepared and submitted for the April 13, 2011 Commission agenda, which would have required Committee review prior to second reading, proposing to allow the CDAC appointment process to mirror the appointment process for most other City advisory committees (citywide appointments versus appointments from the target areas), in an effort to increase the pool of potential applicants The item was referred to the Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee by acclamation at the April 13, 2011 Commission meeting at the request of Commissioner Weithorn. Commissioner Weithorn stated that the proposed ordinance should go to Committee because she believes it may be too broad. Mayor Bower stated that she also would like the proposed ordinance to go to Committee before the first reading and requested a referral, as she wanted to ensure that individuals that have an interest in, receive and/or understand community development services would continue to be appointed and involved The item was discussed at the June 3, 2011 Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee meeting and then approved by the Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee on September 1, 2011 The first reading occurred on October 19, 2011 City Commission Memorandum-CDAC Ordinance Amendment December 14,2011 Page 2 of 3 ANALYSIS As proposed on June 3, 2011, to the Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee, as an alternative to modifying the overall appointment structure to allow all positions to be citywide appointments, there were several options presented that could potentially also help address the issue of vacancies 1) Leave the Committee structure and appointment process "as is" and more heavily promote and recruit potential applicants for the Committee, including from applicants to other City committees, 2) Reduce the Committee composition from 14 members to seven, However, an additional option was proffered and discussed at the Committee which would be to amend the Committee composition to allow the appointment of individuals that are in leadership positions in community organizations (e.g non-profits, etc.) that provide community development services to low-and moderate-income people or neighborhoods, but are not currently or potential recipients of the City's CDBG or HOME funding There was also discussion on allowing a certain percentage of the appointments to be citywide, rather than from target areas Recommended changes In light of the comments made and concerns voiced about ensuring that there continue to be Committee members that have a first-hand understanding and/or interest in community development issues, the following proposed amendment options were developed and approved by the Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee Seven appointees of the 14 members (one of the two appointments made by the Mayor and each Commissioner) shall either be a. A resident of a locally designated community development target area for a minimum of six months, or, b Someone who can demonstrate ownership/ interest for a minimum of six months in a business established in a locally designated community development target area for a minimum of six months The other seven of members of the Committee (the other of the two appointments made by the Mayor and each Commissioner) can meet the criteria above, or can be appointed as follows a. Miami Beach residents in non-target areas, or, b. Non-city residents in leadership positions in organizations that provide community development services to low-and/or moderate-income people or neighborhoods, preferably in Miami Beach The organization that they represent cannot be a current or future recipient of city CDBG or HOME funds (due to Federal Conflict of Interest Laws) As proposed, a Commissioner would be able to continue to appoint two members that are either residents or businesses in the target area. In summary, these amendments would result in a 14-member CDAC which would include at least seven members (50% of total Committee) that are from within the target area (either a resident of, or owning/working for a business in, the target area), and the other seven members who can be residents that live outside of the target area, or non-residents that have leadership positions in organizations that serve low- or moderate-income individuals or neighborhoods Should this proposed amendment be adopted, an amendment to the City's Citizen Participation Plan would also be required City Commission Memorandum-CDAC Ordinance Amendment December 14,2011 Page 3 of 3 In addition to the proposed amendment, proactive recruitment and outreach efforts will be initiated. These include a MBTV spots b Use of the City/Office of Real Estate, Housing and Community Development website Flyers with applications on one side and CDAC info on the other c. Partner outreach efforts with non-profits such as Miami Beach CDC, Jewish Community Services, UNIDAD and the Housing Authority of the City of Miami Beach d Outreach to PTAs e. Targeted meetings with neighborhoods associations f. Outreach to buildings which house seniors g. Outreach at City parks/youth centers RECOMMENDATION The Administration recommends an amendment to the ordinance governing the composition of CDAC, as well as the Citizen Participation Plan, to allow for one of the two appointments made by the Mayor and Commissioners to be a resident that does not live in the target area or an individual in a leadership position with an organization that serves low- and/or moderate-income individuals or neighborhoods, provided, however, that such organization shall not be a recipient of city CDBG or HOME funds.
