identification of potential conflicts.
Beneficiaries will be acknowledged by name and address in the
minutes of Citizen's Advisory Task Force, Additionally, recommended
beneficiaries per selection criteria/scoring process will be presented to the
City Commission for review and approval by city resolution so that
previously unknown conflicts may be surfaced. Any known conflicts will be
acknowledged publicly along with the final ranking of the selected
beneficiaries in accordance with the Housing Assistance Plan. If required,
waivers of conflicts may be requested of the Department of Community
Affairs (DCA).
5. Each selected housing unit shall have aU. S. Department of Housing

one housing unit is $25,000. This amount may be exceeded only by a
recorded vote of the City Commission of the City of Key West.
7. In accordance with the criteria selection the maintaining of publicly
owned and federally assisted rental housing units shall be a priority of CDBG
funding, Other privately owned rental units that receive state and/or federal
funds shall also be eligible. The form of CDBG rehabilitation funding shall
be a direct grant to the owners of the qualified rental units. Ownership of
rental property and participation in state and/or federally funded programs
shall be verified by the Community Development Office. Written affidavits
shall be executed by the rental property owners to insure that after

those houses which are unfeasible to repair by CDBG regulations.

mail, return receipt requested,

expended and insurable and such coverage must be maintained until the
program administrative closeout. This coverage will be included in the cost of
the rehabilitation since it is an eligible CDBG expense. The minimum CDBG
insurance requirement does not in anyway reduce or change any other
property insurance requirements to maintain flood, windstorm or multi peril
insurance coverage (example: insurance requirements under first or second
mortgage financing),
12. The City of Key West through the Community Development Office
shall conduct a final inspection of work completed under the CDBG and other

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The City of Key West is in a unique situation to submit multiple applications based
on the state's competitive Community Development Block Grant Program funding
cycle which ends March 31, 1998. Simply stated the grant(s) must score in the
funding range---any short of maximizing points is an exercise in futility.
All Applications have a maximum of 1,000 possible points.
250 of these points are Community-wide needs score determined by state formula.
Unfortunate.1y, Key West only has 3.59 points out of250 due to its low Community
wide needs score and the assessed reduction points of 5 points for every $100,000
in CDBG funds received since 1990. (This is done to level the playing field).
Also this year the State Legislature reduced the Housing category from 40% of all
grant funding to 20% and increase Economic Development category from 10% to
30% of all grant funding.
An eligible community may submit an Economic Grant independent of any other
Grant category, Four categories: Housing, Commercial Revitalization,
Neighborhood Revitalization, and Economic Development.
A community may also submit a Housing Grant and a Commercial Revitalization
Grant in the same grant cycle stating in the application the priority should both
applications reach funding score level.
"Restore the Past - Maintain the Present - Build the Future"
- Meeting Community Goals in America's Southernmost City _
We have conducted the First Public Hearing and are scheduled to conduct the
Second Public Hearing Feb. 25th with Grant Application Resolutions in front of the
City Commission at their March 3rd meeting,
We have conducted one Citizens Advisory Task Force meeting and will conduct
another for proposed grant application review on February 24th.
On Friday, Feb, 13th we were informed that the state is going to publish a Notice of
Funding Availability (NOFA) next week reference recaptured 1997 Economic
Development funds. A community could put one ED application in for the 1997
funds and one for the 1998 funds and if successful have two active ED grants in two
separate Funding Year cycles. We have put an additional notice in the paper for this
Thursday Feb, 19th soliciting additional interest in the business community for
participants, There are many requirements to ED grant, however, the three basic
requirements are (l) private sector job creation, each qualified job created may be
eligible for submitting for up to $35,000 in grant funds per job (2) private sector
matching funds and (3) required support infrastructure specific to the new created
jobs in the form of a grant to the city and/or a direct loan to a for profit entity which
is paid back to the state,
At this point of grant development for scoring we are developing an ED grant for
'97 funds in the amount of $750,000 with the Florida Straits Conch company as the
private participating party. The money will be used for required city infrastructure
and handic~p accessibility, It will be all grant to the city and not a loan to the
business. We have also developed an ED for '98 funding in the current amount of
$490,000 which represents one private participating party (Tours of America, Inc.)
which consists of city infrastructure of approximately $150,000 with state grant and
a state business loan of approximately $160,000 to Tours of America and one
public participating party the Key West Housing Authority for an educational center
in the amount of approximately $130,000, We are awaiting any other eligible
participating parties.
We have structured a Housing grant that provides for needed health and safety work
items in public housing and private homeowner repairs in conjunction with the
Mayor's Revolving Loan Fund program.
We will develop a supplemental Commercial Revitalization application as insurance
should the Housing grant not reach the scoring range,
