OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER CITY HALL ROB W.PARKINS 1700 CONVENTION CENTER DRIVE CITY MANAGER TELEPHONE: 673-7010 COMMISSION MEMORANDUM NO. 370 DATE: July 13, 1988 TO: Mayor Alex D.• • • and 9 Members of t e City Com issio FROM: Rob W. Parkins City Manager SUBJECT: YEAR FOURTEEN (14) COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT PROGRAM - STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES & PROJECTED USE OF FUNDS The Community Development Block Grant program is federally funded through the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The legislation for the program was created in 1974 under the Housing and Community Development Act and subsequently amended. The national objectives of the program are to 1) principally benefit low and moderate income persons, 2) aid in the prevention and elimination of slums or blight, and 3) address a certified urgent need. Certain new requirements were added by the adoption of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1987. Of principal note is the new requirement to benefit low and moderate income persons by at least 60%. Other changes include citizen participation requirements, eligible activities, etc. Miami Beach is an entitlement community and therefore is awarded a specific level of CDBG funds each year. The amount of funding is determined by a formula based on population size, overall housing conditions, percentage of low income persons, unemployment and other economic considerations. Our Year Fourteen (14) entitlement allocation is $1,812,000. Year Fourteen (14) will commence October 1, 1988, and conclude on Sepember 30, 1989. The 1981 and 1983 amendments to the original Act, and the Housing and Community Development Act of 1987, made it eligible to use CDBG funds throughout the City provided they meet at least one of the program's national objectives, as well as the specific eligibility requirements. CDBG staff designated specific CD Target Areas, which qualify as eligible areas meeting the Statutory National Objectives of the program. Therefore, if our projects are implemented in these areas, they will generally meet the "principal benefit test" for low and moderate income benefit. The Year Fourteen (14) Proposed Statement of Objectives and Projected Use of Funds identifies $2,290,791 in available CDBG resources for Year 14 Projects. This total reflects $1,812,000 in Year Fourteen (14) entitlement funds, $450,991 in reprogrammed prior years funds, and $27,800 in Program Income. Reprogrammed funds come from prior year projects which have been completed; have not been started; have been dropped for various reasons; or are projects in which funds are being rolled forward in the same budget category but, for accounting and program management purposes, are made available as Year Fourteen funds. The Community Development Advisory Committee (CDAC) and CD staff began the planning process for the Year Fourteen program on March 1, 1988, when two Public Hearings were held to assess the performance of the prior program year, as well as to obtain public views and proposals by citizens at the initial stage of the development of the "Statement of Objectives and Projected Use of Funds". A total of twenty-seven (27) requests for funding were submitted by City and Non-City agencies. Eight meetings were held by the CDAC, with over 45 evening hours expended, for the purpose of reviewing proposals. Continued..... AGENDA °-• ITEM DATE t341 COMMISSION MEMO JULY 13, 1988 PAGE 2 It should be noted that the individual projects and the allocation of funds identified in the "Proposed Statement of Objectives and Projected Use of Funds" are submitted with the joint approval and recommendation of the Administration and the Community Development Advisory Committee (CDAC). (See attached computer sheet). We are pleased to advise you that this year the Administration and the CDAC have agreed on all recommendations for funding. Please note that this Public Hearing is required to provide an opportunity for final citizen comment on the appropriateness of this "Proposed Statement of Objectives and Projected Use of Funds." Formal Commission action to approve filing a "Final Statement" is requested at this meeting, but must occur no later than the July 27, 1988, Commission meeting. ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends consideration of public comments and approval of the Year Fourteen (14) "Statement of Objectives and Projected Use of Funds," which includes: the required plan to mitigate adverse effects of CDBG caused displacement and applicable relocation policies, as well as the Housing Assistance Plan for the three year period. After final Commission action is taken, it is also recommended that the "Statement" be submitted to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. The Administration also requests permission to make necessary adjustments to the narrative and/or technical corrections which may be identified during the review process and which do not significantly affect the approved budget or the intent of the program.
