Page 2 of 2
The HOPE Program is a comprehensive employment service designed to serve homeless
individuals in Miami -Dade County. Eligible men and women are referred to the program through
the Miami -Dade Homeless Trust Continuum of Care (CoC) via the Homeless Management
Information System (HMIS). Through this program, JCS employs about 19 people on a
quarterly basis working five days a week, from 6 am to 11 am, maintaining the cleanliness of
streets and public rights -of -way from 5 th 11 Streets between Lenox Avenue and Meridian
Avenue.
The City Commission approved by Resolution in 2000 and 2002, funding for the HOPE Program
through the adoption of FY 2000/01 and FY 2002/03 Budgets for Special Revenue Funds for
Resort Tax. Since then, the City has continued to annually fund the JCS to support the HOPE
Program.
ANALYSIS
$40,000 was appropriated as part of the Sanitation Budget for the HOPE Program in FY 2012-
13; however, there is no authorization to enter into an annual agreement for the Jewish
Community Services of South Florida Inc., for the provision of Sanitation services in South
Beach. The City Administration desires to continue its support of the JCS HOPE Program since
it has mutual benefits for both the homeless community in Miami Beach and the City.
Under this attached Letter of Agreement, JCS assists the City in accomplishing one of the
Citywide Key Intended Outcomes, which is to improve the cleanliness of Miami Beach Rights -of-
Way, especially in business areas
The Sanitation Division monitors the targeted areas on a daily basis as well as includes the
areas for assessments in the City's Cleanliness Index program. As part of the agreement, JCS
must score a minimum of 1.5 on the City's Cleanliness Index for its geographic areas of
responsibility. If the minimum score of 1.5 is not achieved, JCS must then provide a recovery
plan for the following quarter which delineates how remediation will be achieved within the
following quarter. If for any reason this objective is not met for two concurrent quarters, the City
reserves the right to terminate the agreement.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends approving the Resolution waiving by 5 /7 votes, the
competitive bidding requirement, finding such waiver to be in the best interest of the City, and
authorizing the City Manager to execute a Letter of Agreement with Jewish Community Services
of South Florida, Inc. in the amount of $40,000, for the Jewish Community Services HOPE
Program.
