Re: Emergency State Appropriations Project Request Application
On December 21, 2018, Representative James Bush, the newly elected state representative for House
District 109 replacing Representative Cynthia Stafford,representing the City of Opa-locka("the City"),
requested the preparation and presentation of priority projects for the City through the appropriations
process with the state of Florida. As a House member, Representative Bush would include the priority
projects as part of bills seeking funding for local projects in his district.
An``Appropriations Project Request—Fiscal Year 2019-20"is to be prepared describing each project
meeting the Definition of House Rule 5.14. These projects include the following:
• Priority 1 - City of Opa-locka Water Quality Improvements, $10,158,376.
• Priority 2 - City of Opa-locka Crime Prevention Technologies, $641,036.
• Priority 3 - City of Opa-locka New Public Safety Facility (Police Station), $4,000,000.
• Priority 4-City of Opa-locka Downtown Mixed Use Development,at 300 Opa-locka Boulevard
Site, State Owned Property.
Once the appropriation packages have been completed for each project, they will be submitted to
Representative Bush's office.
This submission is one of the ongoing attempts to assist the City with expanding its funding opportunity
stream to support infrastructure and technology projects and needs for its taxpayers and citizens. The
City is in need of additional resources to support its goals, mission and agenda to protect and serve its
citizens.
The reason for the retroactive request is that the City received this request from Representative Bush's
office on December 21, 2018 and is due to his office by January 4, 2019 in order to meet the deadline
due date of January 7, 2019. The Appropriations Committee meets on January 8, 2019 in Tallahassee,
Florida. It is anticipated that these funding sources would be used to supplement the cost of the project
and would be a great financial burden to the City to pursue these projects without the resources and
support through the appropriations process. The City is pursuing three(4)projects with appropriations
request estimated at over $14 million.
