1991, and continues through September 30, 1992 , which

Subsequent to City Commission approval, the "Final Statement"

accepted by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development. In order to implement the various projects and
programs which were approved, it was necessary to prepare and
execute contractual agreements for such. (This is a standard
administrative procedure. )
The City Commission normally approves the CDBG Agreements in
late October; however, on October 9 , 1991 the Commission
determined that it would take no actions until the first
regular meeting in December. Based on this, the City Manager
was empowered (on 10/9/91) to proceed to award any necessary
agreements, contracts, and purchase orders with after-the-fact
reports being presented to the City Commission in December for
ratification. Pursuant to this authorization, and to avoid
the disruption of services to Miami Beach residents by the
various sub-recipients, the City Manager duly executed the
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funded agreements.
Therefore, at this time the following Resolutions for the CDBG
contractual agreements are presented for ratification after-
the-fact. Funds are available in Fund 137 - Year 17 CDBG
program (federal funds) .
A synopsis of the Year 17 CDBG contractual agreements is
