YEAR 2009–2010 COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (“CDBG”) FUND FOR THE PROVISION OF PUBLIC SERVICES FUNDS TO SUNSHINE FOR ALL, INC. AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE AN AMENDMENT

Staff Summary: Background Annually, the Department of Community Development makes available Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for the provision of public services to Miami
Gardens’ residents. These funds are made available to interested non‐profit or community based organizations applying through a formal Request for Proposal (RFP) process. For FY 2009‐10,
an RFP was made available to the public on June 5, 2009. Nine (9) proposals were received, evaluated and scored by staff. The top four (4) scoring agencies were recommended to Council
to receive funding and on September 21, 2009, Council passed the following two (2) funding awards: ITEM L-1) RESOLUTION PUBLIC HEARING Agreement w/Sunshine for All, Inc.
1515 NW 167 Street, Building 5 Suite 200 Miami Gardens, Florida 33169 Case Valentina $40,000 Sunshine For All, Inc. $80,000 $120,000 Based on the total amount of Public Service Funds
available for this fiscal year, there is a balance of $101,500 still available for funding of Public Service activities. Current Situation Sunshine For All, Inc. (Sunshine) is a non‐profit
organization that delivers in home meals to low‐tomoderate income seniors who live in Miami Gardens. Eligible meal recipients receive one hot meal per day, five days a week Monday through
Friday, from October 1, 2009 through September 30, 2010. To be eligible, an individual must: • Be a resident of Miami Gardens • Be of low‐to‐moderate income • Be 62 years of age, or
disabled if under the age of 62 Presently, Sunshine is serving 59 clients under the FY2009‐10 contract amount of $80,000. In order to continue to serve these 59 clients through September
30, 2010, an additional $35,471 is needed. At the current client and funding level, Sunshine will only be able to serve meals through June 10, 2010. The breakdown is as follows: 59 clients
x 262 operating days in FY2009‐10 x $7.47/meal = $115,471 $115,471 (total funds needed) ‐$80,000 (Current funding level) = $35,471 (balance of funds needed) Furthermore, Sunshine has
58 clients on a waiting list. Due to the success of the program and the overall client satisfaction with this public service, City Staff is recommending that an additional $13,072.50
be awarded to Sunshine in order to begin serving an additional 10 clients from the waitlist for the period beginning February 1, 2010 through September 30, 2010. This would bring the
total number of clients served to 69. The breakdown is as follows: 10 clients x 175 operating days remaining in FY2009‐10 x $7.47/meal = $13,072.50 $35,471 + $13,072.50 = $48,543.50
totals additional funds recommended A resolution is required in order to allocate additional CDBG funds to Sunshine For All, Inc. Subsequent to Council approval of staff’s recommendation,
an amendment to the sub‐recipient agreement will be executed between the City and Sunshine For All, Inc. Proposed Action: Staff recommends approval of the proposed resolution allocating
FY2009‐10 CDBG Public Services funds in the amount of $48,543.50 to Sunshine For All, Inc. It is further recommended that City Council
1515 NW 167 Street, Building 5 Suite 200 Miami Gardens, Florida 33169 authorize the City Manager to execute an amendment to the sub‐recipient agreement with Sunshine For All, Inc. Attachment:
