MIAMI BEACH HISPANIC COMMUNITY CENTER
PROPOSED CLIENT SERVICING PLAN
I. ASSESSMENT
Each participant must be fully assessed to provide the proper match for
employment in the following areas:
a. education & language proficiency
b. employment history & skills assessment
c. potential barriers(transportation & day care)
d. physical/medical condition
e. employability"factors(motivation/social skills commensurate with
job match)
II. BASIC SKILLS RE-TRAINING
Most participants will need some level of re-training. An attempt will be made to
service participants in house, in agreed upon office space at Rebecca Towers;
where a mini-service center will be implemented. Others will be referred to
Feinberg Fisher for the following:
a. GED preparation
b. clerical/typing/basic computer software
c. ESL
1/1. PLACEMENT
Placement goals will be guided by the following:
a. When basic criterion met, participant is ready for placement. Some
participants will by-pass area 1/ completely. Although, I feel this
population will be proportionately small.
b. All participants will continuing be referred out to employment
possibilities until participant finds employment, or participant moves out of
the service delivery area. Factors that will consider where to refer the
participant for employment will be based on assessment in Part I and
proximity to their homes, schedule, benefits and interests.
IV. JOB TRAINING
There are short term programs that are available or that we can create to train in
the following areas:
Quick and fairly easy with proper motivation factor(Three to Ten weeks
Maximum)
a. security guards
b. clerical positions.
c. drivers/couriers/certification CDL
d. child care
e. front desk, customer relations specifically for tourist /hotel industry
(Six month training with some OJT)
e. maintenance/construction
The above areas were selected due to the availability of employment
opportunities on and/or around the beach when training is completed. The hotel
industry although employs in large numbers will only employ unskilled laborers at
the bottom wrung, which is in maid service etc. This is not an area that I would
like to focus my efforts.
IV. RECORD KEEPING
a. Each participant that is serviced by MBHCC will have a record which
consists of :
· assessment
· training
· case management
· job referrals
· job card and placement
· biographical/eligibility criteria
V. MONITORING
a. Quarterly reports will be submitted with a format consistent with funding
guidelines.

A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING THE
APPROPRIATION OF THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS ($30,000) FROM
THE RESORT TAX CONTINGENCY FUND FOR THE PAYMENT OF
SERVICES RENDERED BY THE MIAMI BEACH JOBS CONSORTIUM, A
JOINT EFFORT BETWEEN THE MIAMI BEACH COMMUNITY
DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND THE MIAMI BEACH HISPANIC
COMMUNITY CENTER, FOR JOB PLACEMENT SERVICES IN THE
CONSTRUCTION, HOSPITALITY, AND ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRIES
FOR MIAMI BEACH RESIDENTS.
FROM:
SUBJECT:
ADMINISTRA TION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
BACKGROUND
The Miami Beach Jobs Consortium is a Jomt effort between the Miami Beach Community
Development Corporation and UNIDAD of Miami Beach, Inc. (dba the Miami Beach Hispanic
Community Center) for the purpose of providing job placements in the construction, hospitality, and
entertainment industries for Miami Beach residents.
On March 7, 1997, the Chairman and Members of the Board of the Miami Beach Redevelopment
Agency (RDA) passed Resolution No. 265-97 (see attached, Exhibit A) which authorized a one-time
allocation in the amount of $30,000 from the City Center Redevelopment District to be used for
start-up money for the establishment of the Miami BeaGh Jobs Consortium. This program was
created, in part, on the signing of a letter of intent between the Miami Beach Redevelopment Agency
and Royal Palm Hotel, Ltd., for the development of the Royal Palm Crowne Plaza Resort. Both the
Loews Miami Beach Hotel and the Royal Palm Crowne Plaza had committed to implementing
recruitment and job training programs which were specifically aimed at employing minorities and low
and moderate income residents.
AGENDAITEM (lS
DATE
IL-/b-'l&
Once Resolution No. 265-97 was adopted, the Miami Beach Jobs Consortium, spearheaded by
UNIDAD and the Miami Beach Community Development Corporation (MBCDC), undertook and
implemented a job training program based on the funding commitments that had been approved. The
initial annual budget, as had been presented in a "concept paper" for this program, was estimated at
$100,000. The Miami Beach Housing Authority committed $30,000 and $30,000 would have come
from RDA City Center funds with the passage of Resolution No. 265-97, for an initial financial
commitment of $60,000 for the implementation of the program as envisioned in the concept paper.
Resort Tax Contingency funds in the amount of $30,000 can substitute the RDA funds with the
rescission of Resolution 265-97.
On July 10, 1998, UNlOAD submitted a report to the RDA that detailed the past year's successful
efforts in providing job development and job training. (See attachment 1). In short, highlights of the
program included the hiring of a jobs development director who proceeded to write job development
proposals and lobby for an additional $800,000 in employment and training funds. The acquisition
of those funds allowed the program to hire additional staff for purposes of furthering the program
goals of jobs creation and to expand the level of service throughout the City of Miami Beach. At
this time and based on the prior funding commitment, the services have been provided and the costs
have been incurred in connection with the delivery of these services. Therefore, the requested funds
will reimburse expenses incurred over the past year.
During the financial review of the documentation submitted to the City's Finance Department, the
Finance Director in consultation with the bond counsel, determined that City Center funds could not
be used for a jobs training program. City staff, therefore, was directed to identify another source of
eligible funds to substitute the City Center funds. After exhausting all other possible funding sources
for purposes of reimbursing expenses related with this program, the Administration recommends
funds be used from the Resort Tax Contingency fund.
ANALYSIS
-
The initial phase of the Jobs Consortium program has been completed and UNlOAD has received its
partial match of funds in the amount of$30,000 from the Miami Beach Housing Authority. It has
also submitted a reimbursement request to the City for the second component of the match in the
amount of$30,000. The Redevelopment Agency had made a good faith effort to support the goals
of the Jobs Consortium program when it passed Resolution No. 265-97 and authorized the use of
funds in the amount of $30,000 from the City Center budget. Because it was later determined that
funds from this budget could not be used, the Administration is recommending that funds from the
Resort Tax Contingency fund in the same amount ($30,000) be used to reimburse UNIDAD start-up
expenses it has incurred, as had been approved and authorized with the adoption of Resolution No.
265-97.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends approval ofa Resolution of the Mayor and City Commission of the
City of Miami Beach, Florida, authorizing the appropriation of thirty thousand dollars ($30,000) from
the Resort Tax Contingency Fund for the payment of services rendered by the Miami Beach Jobs
Consortium, a joint effort between the Miami Beach Community Development Corporation and the
Miami Beach Hispanic Community Center, for job placement services in the construction, hospitality,
and entertainment industries for Miami Beach residents.
