John Szerlag, City Manager <br />Hans OUinot, City Attorney <br />Jane A. Hines, CMC, City Clerk <br /> <br />MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />The Honorable City comm,iSSion,d <br />Norman S. Edelcup, Mayor 1/1-1/ y <br /> <br />October 18, 2007 <br /> <br />Charitable Contribution to Jewish Community Services <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION: <br /> <br />It is recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached resolution authorizing a <br />charitable contribution to the Jewish Community Services. <br /> <br />REASONS: <br /> <br />The Jewish Community Services ("JCS") is one of the largest social services agencies in South <br />Florida, serving more than thirty-five thousand people annually through their various programs <br />and activities. The JCS provides programs and services for the underemployed, homeless, <br />refugees, frail elders, holocaust survivors, physically and developmentally challenged, families <br />in crisis, substance abusers, child victims of neglect and abuse, delinquents, the working poor, <br />and the uninsured and underinsured. They provide hot and frozen meals to homebound clients <br />and hurricane boxes to elderly seniors. Further, and probably most importantly, the JCS serves <br />the community as a whole, regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, or age. <br /> <br />The JCS relies on funding from various entities, such as the United Way, Greater Miami Jewish <br />Federation, and county and local governments, to provide these much needed services. Last <br />year, the City of Sunny Isles Beach made a charitable contribution to the JCS, in the amount of <br />Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00). This year I am proposing that we continue our tradition of <br />giving a contribution to the Jewish Community Services of Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00). <br /> <br />ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: <br /> <br />The City of Sunny Isles Beach is fortunate to have two (2) JCS program sites in our area, King <br />David Condominium and the Russian Chabad. <br /> <br /> <br />Approval: <br /> <br /> <br />~~, <br />(,~ <br /> <br />Funding available:_______._ <br /> <br />City Manager <br /> <br />Agenda Item No,: <br /> <br />"'.':.i'.::.,".:" <br /> <br />Commission Meeting Date: <br />
