Among these improvements are neighborhood facilities, rehabilitation efforts, public works projects, fire protection equipment , special activities by local development corporations, historic preservation and several major site-specific allocations, namely Washington Avenue, Flamingo Park, Lincoln Road Mall and 21st Street Community Center. It should be noted that the individual projects and the allocation of funds in this application are submitted with the full approval and recommendation of the administration and the Community Develop- ment Advisory Committee (CDAC) . The CDAC and staff began the planning process on January 6, 1981 , with a performance hearing, followed by two public hearings on February 10, 1981, to receive citizen input on needs and priorities at the initial stage of application development . Eight meetings were held by the CDAC to review all proposals and reach consensus on the final application. There is some variance in the amount of funds recommended in this application from those guidelines identified in the Three Year Plan and submitted in Year Five. These revisions , some of which result from a change in project category, are : increases in Public Services, Rehabilitation and Historic Preservation , Com- munity Development Plan Implementation ; and decreases in Neigh- borhood Facilities, Architectural Barriers, and Public Facilities and Improvements. One project category not previously used is Special Activities By Local Development Corporations. This application also contains the Annual Housing Action Program, an amended Three Year Housing Program Goal and an amended Community Profile and Housing Needs narrative. With the submission of this application , the City enters into its third year of a Three Year Housing Assistance Plan. During the past two years the City has been able to accurately gauge the level of HUD assistance that has been and can realistically be expected to be provided to Miami Beach. Additionally, an accurate assessment has been made of the many other factors affecting the provision of assisted housing in the community. In view of these factors and in light of the dramatic cuts proposed for many of the assisted housing programs, the goals identified in the 1979 • Three Year Housing Assistance Plan are being amended to be made more realistic. 3 AGENDA 4,, /it— 13 ITEM DATE cô / -� l The amended Community Profile and Community Development and Housing Needs narrative, normally required with the preparation of the Three Year Plan, has been requested by HUD to be included in the Year Seven application. Their primary concern is the impact the refugee influx has had and will continue to have on the community and specifically, the Community Development Neighborhood Strategy Areas . Administration Recommendation : The administration recommends approval of the Seventh Year (1981-82) Community Development Block Grant application including the Annual Housing Action Program, the amended Three Year Housing Program Goal , the amended Community Profile and the Community Development and Housing Needs; and that this application be submitted to the A-95 review process and to the U.S . Department of Housing and Urban Development . The administration also requests permission to make necessary ad- justments to the narrative and/or technical corrections which may be identified during the review process and which do not signi- ficantly affect the approved budget or the intent of the program. 4 ORIGINAL RESOLUTION NO. 81-16663 (Approving an application/authorizing filing of same for 7th yr. under the Community DEvelopment Block Grant Program authorized by the Housing and Development Act of '74, as amended) 40IMO 411111111 . _ . _ . _ • _ _ . . _ %mu,. 4111
