Re: Resolution adopting CRA Grant Application Procedures
Greetings DBCRA Board members,
As promised, we have been working with our DBCRA Special Counsel from Weiss, Serota et al,
on a resolution that will allow the DBCRA Executive Director to proceed with grant applications
with written notice to the CRA Board once it is within my own DBCRA Board approved
spending authority of $25,000. The Resolution also states that grant applications that exceed
$25,000 would require DBCRA Board approval. There is also a stipulation within the language
of the resolution that the DBCRA Executive Director will also inform the City Manager in
writing of the grants that the DBCRA applies for.
Due to the fact that the DBCRA only meets once a month, as well as the fact that sometimes we
don’t find out about a potential grant until a few days before its due date, this resolution will give
the DBCRA greater flexibility in going after grants that will provide benefit to the community
redevelopment area while still allowing oversight by the DBCRA Board.
RESOLUTION 2013-CRA-004
A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE COMMUNITY
REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY (“CRA”) OF THE CITY OF DANIA BEACH,
FLORIDA, ADOPTING PROCEDURES FOR APPLYING FOR GRANTS,
AUTHORIZING THE CRA EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO APPLY FOR AND
EXECUTE GRANT APPLICATIONS CONSISTENT WITH THE
PROCEDURES; PROVIDING FOR CONFLICTS; FURTHER, PROVIDING
FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, grant programs offering funds for existing or potential Community
Redevelopment Agency (“CRA”) programs often become available or known to the CRA staff
with short application opportunities; and
WHEREAS, the CRA desires to establish parameters by way of this Resolution that will
allow the CRA Executive Director to take advantage of beneficial grant programs; and
WHEREAS, the CRA Board of Directors finds that the approval of this Resolution is in
its best interest;
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF
THE DANIA BEACH COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY:
Section 1. The above recitals are true and correct and they are incorporated into this
Resolution by this reference.
Section 2. The CRA Executive Director may, without CRA Board approval, identify
and apply for federal, state, local or private grant programs that offer funds for existing or
potential programs so long as no non-budgeted CRA funds, whether in matching funds or in-kind
services or both, shall be committed as a condition to applying for the Grant.
Section 3. With written notice to the CRA Board and City Manager (but without
CRA Board approval), the CRA Executive Director may apply for a grant that commits the CRA
to provide matching funds, in-kind services, or both, in an amount not to exceed $25,000.00;
such notice may be provided subsequent to the formal submittal of the grant application.
Section 4. When a grant application requires the CRA to commit non-budgeted funds
(whether matching funds or in-kind services) in an amount exceeding $25,000.00, CRA Board
approval shall be required prior to the formal submission of any such grant application or
commitment document.
Section 5. The Executive Director is authorized to execute grant applications on
behalf of the CRA and to execute any required agreements or documents to implement the terms
and conditions of the grant programs, subject to the terms and conditions provided in this
resolution.
Section 6. The Executive Director is authorized to expend CRA approved budget
funds to implement the terms and conditions of this Resolution.
