III. 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 II completely. Although, I feel this
pOPl!lation 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)

c. drivers/couriers/certification CDl
d. child care
e. front :iesk, 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

BACKGROUND
The Miami Beach Jobs Consortium is a joint effort between the Miami Beach Community
Development Corporation and UNIDAD of Miami Beach, Ine. (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 Redevelopment City Center to be used for start-up

money for the establishment of the Miami Beach 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.
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 ajob 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, UNIDAD 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.
ANAL YSIS
The initial phase of the Jobs Consortium program has been completed and UNIDAD 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 source 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 Redevelopment Agency recommends the rescission of Resolution No. 265-97.
