Short Title:
Grant Writing Services
Staff Summary:
In recent years the City has received some grants through the State's Revolving Fund program. However,
this program isn't available to the City at this time until annual fiscal audits are completed without
exceptions and the City successfully completes the Cairo Lane and Burlington Canal projects which are
partially funded by this program.
Additionally, during the development of the FY 21 budget, it was discussed that one of the reasons the City
has a very high property tax millage rate was the relatively low level of other General Fund funding sources,
exacerbated by an extremely limited number of grants related to General Fund activities.
Staff has identified a very effective grant writing service, RMPK Funding, of Jupiter, Florida, who has
achieved excellent results for various municipalities in South Florida. One city that has benefited from the
services of RMPK Funding is the City of Oakland Park in Broward County. Attachment #6 is a link to the
RMPK Funding response to a FY 17 Oakland Park RFP for grant writing services which discusses in great
detail this firm's accomplishments and the various government organizations that have received grants
through RMPK Funding submissions.
Attachment #3 is the initial contract between the City of Oakland Park and RMPK Funding and Attachment
#4 is the renewal of this contract which is still in effect. This contract is identical to the one proposed for
the City of Opa-locka and qualifies as the basis for piggyback approval.
Although $25,000 is proposed as the upper limit of the contract, this contract doesn't commit the City to
spend any money at this time. The implementation of this contract results in RMPK Funding meeting with
the City to better understand the City needs. After that, RMPK Funding will propose various grants believed
to benefit the City. Attachment #5 reflects the typical cost for the submission of various grants with City
approval required before any project goes forward. Consequently, the City is continually in the position of
controlling the expenditures under this contract. As indicated on this attachment, if a submission doesn't
receive a grant, it may be submitted again in following years if approptiate and at no extra cost.
The contract includes the provision for the renewal of the contract for two two-year terms, subject to the
agreement of both parties and subject to funds be appropriated for these services in future budgets since the
City can't commit to future spending until budgets have been adopted appropriating funds for these services.
Financial Impact - Budget Amendment #1, adopted by the Commission on November 19, 2020 established a
budget of $25,000 for this service in the Non -Department division, Other Professional Services. It should be
noted that the FY 21 Budget also includes $65,000 for grant writing services in the Enterprise Funds.
Consequently, any costs incurred in the submission of grants supporting the various Governmental Funds will
be charged to the budget established by the FY 21 Budget Amendment #1 while costs incurred in the
submission of grants benefiting the Enterprise Funds will be charged to this latter budget. Even though there
are two funding sources for grant writing services, the $25,000 indicated in the proposed contract for the year
can't be exceeded without further Commission approval. It should be noted that the five-year plan assumed
there would be at least $200,000 of grants per year in support of Governmental Fund activity.
Proposed Action:
Staff recommends the City Commission approve the contract with RMPK Funding

Community Planning Technical Assistance Grants
The Florida Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO) anticipates that the Florida
Legislature will appropriate funding for Community Planning Technical Assistance
(CPTA) Grants for state fiscal year (SFY) 2020-2021. CPTA Grants provide counties,
municipalities and regional planning councils the opportunity to create innovative plans
and development strategies to promote a diverse economy, vibrant rural and suburban
areas and meet the requirements of the Community Planning Act, while protecting
environmentally sensitive areas. Understanding that many Florida communities have
been impacted by hurricanes Irma and Michael, CPTA grants may also be used for
disaster recovery or resiliency planning and economic development.
Application Deadline: June 5, 2021 (TBD)
Contribution Match: 50%
Maximum Grant Amount: $20,000-$40,000
Program Priorities:
The county, municipality or regional planning council develops projects that
generally relate to community planning and economic development strategies that
implement the requirements in the Community Planning Act. DEO encourages
communities impacted by hurricanes Irma and/or Michael to apply for projects
related to disaster recovery or resiliency. Previous grant projects include, but are
not limited to: visual imaging for public projects; community redevelopment area
plans and land development regulations; sea level rise impacts to stormwater
outfalls in the Indian River Lagoon; amendments to comprehensive plans and
land development regulations; and plans for recreation facilities, neighborhoods,
infrastructure, urban design, etc. Applicants are encouraged to seek funding for
innovative, creative or unique approaches to planning and development.
