Davis City Manager S • ! South Miami 2001 !!. Agenda item # Re: Authorizing the Expenditure of Matching Funds for a Grant From the National Football League ! ! ! #J :MAI 1< ! ! ! ! In August 2005, the City, in collaboration with the YMCA of Greater Miami, submitted an application to the National Football League's 2005 Grass Roots Program. This program provides funding for "General Field Support" to non -profit organizations located within the geographic boundaries of NFL teams. The YMCA/City joint application specifically requested funding to be used for the construction of a concession/restroom building for the new fields at South Miami Park. We were recently notified by representatives of the Miami Dolphins organization that the YMCA/City application has been accepted by the NFL for funding in the amount of $50,000.00. The grant program requires matching funds on a dollar for dollar basis. The City recently settled a long standing Code Enforcement Lawsuit in which we received $150,000 to cover liens levied against a property. It is recommended that the City's $50,000 match requirement be funded with the recently received settlement dollars in lieu of utilizing cash reserves. If approved, the funds will be provided from the Code Enforcement Settlements account code 001.0000.219.8210, which has a current balance of $150,000. RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends approval of this expenditure and adoption of the attached resolution.
