ANALYSIS
The Safe Neighborhood Parks Bond Program (SNPB) provides grant funds for land
acquisition and/or capital development of public parks. In 1999, the City applied for and
was awarded Safe Neighborhood Parks Series 1999 Specified and Per Capita Funding in
the total amount of $2,150,000 for the North Shore Open Park Project. In 1999, the
County sold only $2,121,000 of the original allocation. The issuance cost was 10% or
$21,000 and the City was awarded the remaining $2,100,000 in funds. The County is now
anticipating selling the remainder of the bond funds. The City of Miami Beach has $29,000
in bond funds remaining. The bond issue cost is 10%, or $290, resulting in a remaining
allocation available to the City of $28,710 for the North Shore Open Space Park project.
The County anticipates selling the bonds in 2005.
The City is in need of furniture, fixtures and equipment for the park, and has therefore
requested funding for the following items: 1) vandal-resistant pedestal grills; 2) picnic
tables; and 3) trash receptacles. The total cost of these items is $28,710. No matching
funds are required.

The City is responsible for abiding by the guidelines of the administrative rules authorized
by the Citizens' Oversight Committee. If the total cost of the project exceeds the value of
the grant, the City is responsible for providing the additional funds required to complete the
project. The City is responsible for maintaining the equipment at the park after completion
of the project.
The City was notified of the deadline for application of these funds on July 28, 2004, after
the July City Commission meeting. The deadline for submission of applications was
August 23, 2004. As such the Administration submitted the application and is now
requesting retroactive approval of the submission.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends retroactive approval to submit a grant application to
Miami-Dade County's Office of Safe Neighborhood Parks for Specified/Per Capita Series
2005 funding in the amount of $28,710 from the remaining allocation available to the City
of Miami Beach for the North Shore Open Space Park project; while leveraging previously
appropriated City funds as needed; further appropriating the grants if approved and
accepted by the city and authorizing the execution of all necessary documents related to
these applications
