BACKGROUND:
On July 16, 1996, the Miami-Dade County Commission passed the Safe Neighborhood Parks Act
of 1996 authorizing a general obligation bond measure to seek the approval of the voters of the
County to sell up to $200 million bonds for purchase of land for future park sites, construction of
new parks, and restoration of existing facilities throughout the County. The Ordinance also
established a Citizen's Oversight Committee comprised of thirteen (13) members, one residing in
each of the thirteen (13) County Commission districts. The Citizen's Oversight Committee was
formed to oversee the disbursement of proceeds from the sale of said bonds.

ANAL YSIS:
The Safe Neighborhood Parks Act, outlined the allocation, distribution and oversight of the
capital bond funds for County and Municipal park projects. The funding allocations were as
follows:
* Cities = $ 47.0 million
* UMSA = $ 61.0 million
* County Regional = $ 62.0 million
* Other Regional = $ 15.0 million
* Challenge Grants = $ 15.0 million
Total $200.0 million
In response to the $47 million funding available under the above referenced Cities Allocation, the
City Commission, on January 21, 1998, authorized the Recreation, Culture and Parks Department
to submit grant applications and enter into agreements with Miami-Dade County for the following
projects:

The City will submit the remaining application for North Shore Open Space Park when the pending
Altos del Mar issues are resolved.
It is the Recreation, Culture and Parks Department's goal to identify funding that will further
develop the approved Parks Master Plan. The Challenge Grant Allocation will make $7 million
available to public agencies and Not-for-Profit Organizations for land acquisition, construction and
development of youth recreation service facilities. It is therefore, a very viable source that should
be pursued. If authorized to apply, the following projects will be submitted utilizing the City's
approved Parks General Bond Program funding as a match.
