AGENDA ITEM OATE c..'1c, II-cg-qs . .. Commission Memorandum Page 2 November 8, 1995 BACKGROUND: In July 1990, the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) was passed by the U.S. Congress. Title II of the ADA requires that state and local governments provide accessibility to their programs and to not discriminate on the basis of a persons disability in employment and in the goods, services and programs that they provide. As required under Title II of ADA, the City has developed a Transition Plan which describes the facilities owned and/or controlled by the City and the architectural barriers found in the respective facilities. The funds that will be received by the City under this Grant may be used for modifications to City facilities to remove architectural barriers, to train City employees in regard to the requirements of ADA, to provide public awareness programs regarding ADA, and to help fund the operations of the City's Office of ADA Coordination. The expenditure of the funds under this Grant will be based on consultation with the Mayor's Ad-Hoc Barrier-Free Environment Committee. ANALYSIS: Under Title II of ADA, programs and facilities of state and local governments must be made accessible to persons with disabilities.To comply with the law, the City has undertaken a program of modifying its facilities to remove architectural and communication barriers, and is reviewing its programs to develop ways of making them more accessible. The Administration proposes that this Grant be accepted by the City so that architectural and communication barriers in City facilities, and inaccessibility to City programs, may be remedied sooner than if these Grant funds are not available E:\MB-ADA\DOCS\COMM-PKG.WPD ....

WiG' =AOM: DATE: SUBJECT: October 3, 1995 Resolution Approving Interlocal Agreement for Distribution of Disabled Permit Parking Fine Monies RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the Board adopt the attached resolution approving an interlocal agreement for the distribution of disabled permit parking fine monies (as outlined in the attached Interlocal Agreement) and authorizing the County Manager to execute this agreement on behalf of Dade County after proper execution by cities submitting request for funds The interlocal agreement is intended to simplify the existing distribution process by including a provision which allows the agreement to continue from year to year without the need for further Board action. The new process for distribution of the disabled parking fine monies, subject to approval by the Board will begin with funds from the FY 1994-95 allocation, BACKGROUND In 1991, the City of North Miami Beach requested that a share of disabled parking fines collected from citations issued by the City be returned to the City for its use, The Commission for the Advancement of the Physically Handicapped (CAPH) now the Commission on Disability Issues (COOl), worked with the League of Cities to develop criteria that proposed projects using disabled parking fine money should meet. These criteria were subsequently incorporated with an amendment of Ordinance 87-39 Section 30-447 (2) (c) (iii) of the same Ordinance, effective October I, 1991. These criteria are currently used by the Office of ADA Coordination in the evaluation of proposals, The Ordinance states that the monies are to be allocated as follows: "One third to be used to defray County administrative expenses and two thirds to be used to provide funds to improve accessibility and equal opportunity to qualified physically disabled persons and to conduct public awareness programs. The two-thirds shall be distributed in the following manner: Thirty (30) percent to be retained by the County for county-wide P,urposes in accordance with State law, and seventy (70) percent to be allocated to the governmental entity having jurisdiction over the violation. Monies not distributed to a city because of the failure of such city to submit or comply with a program plan shall be placed in a fund for disbursement to other cities which are in compliance with such plans in proportion to the percentage of citations issued by the complying city," All municipalities are sent a letter by the Office of ADA Coordination informing them of the availability of the monies and are given estimates of funding for which they can apply, The . .. .. Hon. Chairperson and ~bers Board of County Comdll..~ioners Page 2 current process as outlined in the current interlocal agreement requires that each municipality approved by the ADA Office to receive their share of the disabled parking fine monies enter into an interlocal agreement which is further approved by the Board of County Commissioners for each year in which they receive such funding," o ) The attached Resolution and interlocal agreement will simplify the administrative process by allowing the Cities and the County to enter into an ongoing interlocal agreement, which. once approved by the Board of County Commissioners. will continue from year to year. Those municipalities which submit requests for funding to the ADA Office and meet approved criteria will receive their share of the disabled parking fine monies without the need for further Board . action, The ADA Office will continue to administrate distribution and use of the funds, The attached interlocal agreement will allow for distribution of disabled parking fine monies beginning with the FY 94-95 allocation The distribution for FY 94-95 is as follows: City of Miami City of Miami Beach City of Coral Gables City North Miami City of North Miami Beach $77.774,05 $43,839,96 $11.45888 $5.523,95 $19.185,16 The County's portion is $137.676 64 FISCAL IMPACT STATEMENT There is no fiscal impact which results from this Resolution. .............
