Commission Memorandum Page 2 ANALYSIS 1. Approval to submit a grant application to The Children's Trust Service Partnership Program for funding in the approximate amount of $720,000 for the City's Success University Program; The Children's Trust Service Partnership Program provides funding to address targeted geographic areas and to reach at-risk populations in Miami-Dade County. The purpose of the program is to target resources to meet the more complex needs of vulnerable children and families. The City was awarded an initial planning grant for the Service Partnership in 2007, and has been operating the program successfully since then. Success University is an integrated service program that partners with community agencies to provide Miami Beach youth at risk for truancy with personal and academic supports, while providing their families with holistic, comprehensive services to ensure family stability and youth success. Service components currently include:tutoring,family assessments,care plan coordination, family group conferencing, employment services, and referrals to community-based services. Last year, Success University was funded at $282,000. This year, the Administration plans to expand the program, requesting funding for two new services: Positive Parenting Program — a home based one-on-one consultation with parents; and, Suspension Diversion — a program for youth with outdoor suspensions which applies restorative justice values (making amends), and also provides a school work component. The Administration also plans to request funding for three (3) Program Coordinators. Currently the program is managed by one Program Coordinator; the Administration will request funds for one Program Coordinator per zip code(33139, 33140,and 33141). Each Program Coordinator will oversee 2 or 3 schools. Program Coordinators are City employees, and the grant funds will be requested to cover the cost of full salaries and benefits. Subcontracts will be awarded to Miami Beach Service Partnership member agencies via weighted scores that evaluate contract performance and efficacy in the 2012/13 program year. Contracted partners are expected to include: 1) Abriendo Puertas (New); 2) Ayuda, Inc.; 3) Barry University; 4) Choices Et Al, Inc.; 5) Jewish Community Services; 6) Open Arms Community Center (New); 7) Playing the Game of Life; 8) Teen Job Corps; 9) Switchboard of Miami; 10) Get Credit Healthy; and 11) First Care Home Services. This program supports the key intended outcome:enhance learning opportunities for youth. This grant does not require matching funds. 2. Approval to submit a grant application to the State of Florida, Division of Emergencv Management (FDEM), for federal funding from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency(FEMA), Hazard Mitigation Grant Program in the approximate amount of$120,000,for the window replacement project at the Miami Beach Botanical Garden The Hazard Mitigation Grant Program is authorized by Section 404 of the Robert T. Stafford Disaster Relief Act. This funding helps communities to implement measures to reduce or eliminate long-term risk to people and property from natural hazards and helps to address eligible mitigation activities. The Hazard Mitigation Grant Program(HMGP)is funded by the US Department of Homeland Security, through FEMA, and administered by the State of Florida. The HMGP funds requested in this agenda item are a result of the recent Presidential Disaster Declaration for Hurricane Isaac (FEMA 4084-DR-FL). Commission Memorandum Page 3 FEMA designates specific counties with assigned portions of the total HMGP grant for each Presidential Disaster Declaration. The amount is based on a calculation, and the State attempts to fund each awarded project in priority order until the allocation for that particular County has been exhausted. As such, Tier 1 Counties are funded first, until funds are exhausted. If funding is left over from Tier 1, then, Tier 2 Counties receive funding for their projects, in priority order. In the event funds remain after the Tier 1 and Tier 2 process, any remaining funds will be offered on a statewide basis, described as Tier 3. For this Presidential Disaster Declaration, Miami-Dade County is in the Tier 3 category. Although our County does not have an allocated amount of funding, on occasion funds are left unallocated from Tier 1 and Tier 2 making it worthwhile for us to submit an application. The City has previously been awarded funding from FEMA for the following projects: • Funding in the amount of$637,777 for impact-resistant windows at City Hall, Police Station, Fire Station 1 and Fire Station #3. • Funding in the amount of$690,049 for impact resistant windows at 555 17th Street, 1701 Meridian, 21St Street Recreation Building and Fleet Management Building(140 McArthur Causeway). • Funding in the amount of$750,000 through the PDM Program for Mount Sinai for the purchase and installation of a generator at the Gumenick Ambulatory Surgical Center at Mount Sinai Hospital. • Funding in the amount of$706,825 for the Talmudic University for the replacement of windows and doors at the University building located at 4000 Alton Road. During a storm event,the City is subject to high winds, missile hazards,flood and significant impact damage; the Botanical Garden has previously been damaged by hurricanes and does not have impact-resistant glass protection. The Administration plans to seek funding from HMGP for replacement windows for the Miami Beach Botanical Garden in order to mitigate potential future damage. The proposed project will include the replacement of existing windows and doors with impact-resistant glass protection. The doors and windows will be rated in accordance with the Miami-Dade County Building Code and will absorb impacts and sustain the force and pressure of high winds associated with a hurricane. The grant request for this project is$120,000 and the required grant match is approximately $30,000; Source: City Center RDA Capital through the FY 13/14 Budget Process (to be appropriated). This project supports the key intended outcome: ensure well-maintained facilities. 3. Approval to negotiate and execute a contract renewal with The Children's Trust for the City's Out-of-School Program in the approximate amount of$310,000 The Children's Trust Out-of-School Program provides funding for summer camps and after- school programs that stimulate academic, athletic, cultural and social learning in a nurturing and supervised environment while parents are working and during times of day when adolescents are most prone to at-risk behavior. The City's Out-of-School program provides after school services to approximately 250 children ages 5-12 years old residing primarily in the City of Miami Beach. The program offers activities to the children including physical fitness, nutrition education and homework and literacy support. Program goals are to improve academic skills and literacy and improve physical health and fitness. Commission Memorandum Page 4 Last year, the City was awarded funding in the amount of $309,180 and this year the Children's Trust Program Services Committee again recommended funding at the same level. This grant renewal is for the period of August 1, 2013 through July 31, 2014. This program supports the key intended outcome:enhance learning opportunities foryouth. This grant does not require matching funds. 4. Approval to negotiate and execute a contract renewal with The Children's Trust for the Early Childhood Development Program for funding in the approximate amount of $150,000 for the City's Parent-Child Program The Early Childhood Development Program was created by The Children's Trust to provide high quality programs in childcare settings. The City applied for this grant and was awarded funding in the amount of$150,000 in 2011 and 2012 for the Parent-Child Home Program. This year the Parent-Child Home Program is going into its third year and the Children's Trust has again recommended full funding at the same level of$150,000. Through this program, the City will nurture greater resiliency and academic success for parents and children aged 16 months to 4 years through home-based services that promote healthy family engagement, affirmative parenting, early literacy and positive child developments. In partnership with Barry University, the program will provide services to currently enrolled families as well as enroll new families.This grant renewal is for the period of August 1, 2013 through July 31, 2014. This project supports the key intended outcome: enhance learning opportunities for youth. This grant does not require matching funds. 5. Retroactive approval to submit an application to the RE.invest Initiative for expertise and staffing support relative to Sustainable Urban Infrastructure The RE.invest Initiative is a new public-private program that will help cities across the country finance and build resilient and integrated urban stormwater infrastructure systems in order to prevent damage during future severe weather events. The project, which will be supported by the Rockefeller Foundation, is a collaboration that includes c.dots development and CH2M Hill. Through a national application process, RE.invest Initiative will select up to eight US cities and provide seed funding and technical support from leading engineering, law, and finance firms to create new Community Investment Vehicles(CIVics)designed to leverage hundreds of millions of dollars of private investment in local infrastructure. RE.invest Initiative will serve as a template for catalyzing innovative finance for cities across the country. There are four primary objectives of the RE.invest Initiative: 1) Lessen the financial burden on governments by providing cities with direct technical and financial support; 2) Mobilize large-scale, long-term private investment through Community Investment Vehicles to protect communities; 3) Improve the resilience of vulnerable cities with strained infrastructure systems; and, 4) Build integrated planning capacity at the municipal level. If selected, RE.invest Initiative will deploy teams of engineers, lawyers and public finance experts to work directly with city officials and managers to develop strategies for investable infrastructure plans. Due to the turnaround time for this application, the Administration has submitted an application and requests retroactive City Commission approval. RE.invest Initiative will need a commitment from the City that staff/city officials will work with their team for two years. This project does not require matching funds and supports the key intended outcome: improve storm drainage citywide. Commission Memorandum Page 5 6. Retroactive approval to submit a Request for Water Project funding to the House Agriculture and Natural Resources Subcommittee in the amount of $500,000 for Bayshore Neighborhood Right of Way Improvements (Lower North Bay Road) During the month of March 2013, the House Agriculture and Natural Resources Subcommittee released criteria for submission of water projects to guide the Governor in his decision making process for the funding of water projects should they receive funding in the General Appropriations Act. The City's Consultant for Intergovernmental Affairs received notification and due to the short turnaround time, the Administration's team submitted an application for funding for Bayshore Neighborhood Right of Way Improvements. This project is a construction-ready water and flood mitigation project in need of funding for Fiscal Year 2013/2014 and most closely fits into the established criteria for potential funding(completed all planning, design, permitting and local zoning and land use requirement, available matching funds and start date within the established timeframe).Water project funding was listed on the City Commission's most recent State Legislative Priorities Agenda. The Bayshore Neighborhood ROW Improvements (Lower North Bay Road) include stormwater,water distribution system improvements in the Bayshore Neighborhood, a low- lying neighborhood which contributes to backflow flooding throughout the system,especially during recent periods of severe high tide. The project will increase stormwater capacity and improve conveyance and discharge in compliance with the City's Stormwater Master Plan. Improvements include the installation of valley gutters and a stormwater system with two stormwater pump stations, injection wells and water main replacement. The City has requested $500,000 and the program requires matching funds. Matching funds are available in the Bayshore Neighborhood—Bid Pack B project.This project supports the key intended outcome: improve storm drainage citywide.
