PUBLIC HEARING FOR CITY OF MIAMI BEACH ONE-YEAR ACTION
PLAN
The Community/Economic Development Department, together with the Community Development
Advisory Committee, has prepared a draft of the City's One-year Action Plan for federal funds. The
Plan is a grant prerequisite for the City's HUD-funded programs: Community Development Block
Grant (CDBG), HOME Investment Partnerships (HOME), and Emergency Shelter Grants (ESG)
Programs. The Plan is to be developed with public participation and, to that end, two public hearings
are required. A 30-day public comment period is also required. This period began on June 1, 1999
and will expire on July 1, 1999.
On March 23, 1999, the Community/Economic Development Department and the Community
Development Advisory Committee held the first public hearing on the initial development of the
Plan. The purpose of this hearing was to obtain citizen views on housing and community
development needs. After that heating, and beginning on April 12, 1999, a series of nine meetings
took place where the Community Development Advisory Committee considered proposals. Their
funding recommendations, and those of the Administration, are included in the Draft Plan, which
is attached for your review. A second public hearing will be held on June 22, 1999, to discuss and
incorporate community comments, and a final One-Year Action Plan will be presented to the City
Commission for approval on July 7, 1999. Upon approval by the City Commission, the One-Year
Action Plan will be submitted to the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development on or
before the August 16, 1999 deadline.
