plans.
4. No person, firm, corporation or entity shall erect, construct, enlarge, alter,
repair, remove, improve, move, convert, or demolish any building or structure, or
alter the land in any manner within the boundary of the project without first

necessary permits in accordance with the City of Clermont Land Development
Regulations and those of other appropriate jurisdictional entities.
5. The final Certificate of Occupancy shall not be issued until each of the
stated conditions has been met.
6. If any of the stated conditions are violated, the applicant understands and
agrees that the City Council may revoke this Conditional Use Permit by
resolution.
7. The Conditional Use Permit must be executed and filed in the office of the
City Clerk within 90 days of its date of grant by the City Council or the permit

OWNERSHIP POSSIBILITIES
South Lake County or South Lake County or First United
Memorial Hospital Inter-Agency** Methodist Church
HOSPITAL BUILDING
PURPOSE: House existing service agencies and others not currently located in south
Lake County for period of 5-7 years in existing hospital building.
Services currently available to south Lake County community (e.g.,
Clermont, Minneola, Groveland, Mascotte, Monthverde) are limited by
locations being widespread and transportation. Agencies generally have
limited funding available for facilities and even less for transportation of
clients to their facilities. Other services are not readily available to south
Lake County residents because providers are located elsewhere in Lake
County.
ALTERNATIVES: Consider use of existing hospital building for period of 5-7 years
followed by construction of new facility. Or if use of hospital building is
not feasible, consider construction of new facility.
IDENTIFY: Service agencies that could locate into this building. Each agency would
pay usual expenses associated with renting facilities (e.g., rent, electrical,
phone, etc.)
FUNDING: Seek initial funding necessary to relocate agencies, perform minimal
repairs on building, hire staff, etc. Possible sources would include United
Way, South Lake County Community Foundation, Edith Bush
Foundation, and other grants.
**Fictitious name for organization to include member agencies housed within building.
OUTLINE OF ISSUES
1. Determine feasibility of using existi4 hospital building to house service agencies under
ownership of Hospital or Church. Engineering studies performed for the City of Clermont
revealed inadequacies of building to meet required standards for use as city hall. How much
in the way of repairs would be needed for occupancy by many agencies needs to be
determined early on. Presently, there are occupants in the building (e.g., Diamond Players
Club).
2. It's estimated that the building has about 60,000 square feet, all of which could not be used.
Identifying which space can be effectively utilized is a must, recognizing that it is unlikely that
any structural changes in the building would be cost-effective. Partitions in a large room
would be appropriate modifications.
3. Should major expenditures (e.g., more than $50,000???) be required to establish initial
occupancy and knowing that there could be the need for repairs during the period of
occupancy (e.g., air conditioning, elevator, etc.), the cost of the project needs to be
considered. If it were possible to develop a reasonable estimate, then the feasibility of this
alternative could be established. (Assistance of a contractor appears necessary in order to
assess the usability of the floor space in the building and any costs associated with the use of
that space.)
4. If it were determined that the cost of occupying the hospital building would be prohibitive for
just a 5-7 year period, for example, then any funding for this project could best be utilized for
the purchase of another site. This could be either the purchase of any existing facility
(probably unlikely) that could be renovated for this purpose or the purchase of land and
construction of a new building. Fund raising could prove difficult without experience in first
running such a facility.
5. The organizational structure of this undertaking would be dictated by the alternative being
considered. Legal advice might be necessary to establish the organizational structure. For
example, if the hospital should choose to continue ownership under the option form of
conveyance to the church, the organizational structure might be as simple as having an
executive director for the center of the facility responsible to the executive director of the
hospital. A similar arrangement might work with the church having ownership and the
executive director reporting to the governing body of the church.
6. If neither of alternatives in (5) above is suitable, it might be necessary to form an independent
organization that might be called the South Lake County Inter-Agency Corp., registered as a
tax-exempt organization. It would have its own board of directors with appropriate
representation from various interests. Any staffing needs would report to the Board.
7. Identifying which agencies or other\organizations should be housed in the building will be a
challenging task should there be more interested parties than there is space available. The
amount of space to be utilized in the old hospital building needs to be determined first. Then
the agencies interested in occupying the available space can be reviewed for selection. It
might best be handled by a panel of persons.
DRAFT 9/17/00
EXPLANATION OF THE FRONT PORCH FLORIDA INITIATIVE AND PROCESS
Front Porch Florida is different. It is a grass roots, bottom-up revitalization initiative that focuses
on the family and empowers residents to define and resolve neighborhood problems. The solutions
for changing the neighborhood come from the community,not government, through a process that
is holistic and builds on community assets and relationships. Neighborhoods receive designation
as a Front Porch Florida community through a competitive process. Applications are submitted by
a nominating entity, or a coalition of nominating entities, on behalf of a community. The Front
Porch Florida designation is awarded to the community,not to the nominating entity.
All applications received prior to the deadline date are reviewed for completeness and eligibility.
Once deemed to be complete and eligible,applications are reviewed and submitted to the Governor.
The Governor makes the selection decision.
Once a community is designated,a series of community meetings are held immediately to develop
community awareness and participation. It is the responsibility of the nominating entity to set up
these community meetings and actively invite residents, business owners, neighborhood
associations, etc. A Governor's Revitalization Council, a volunteer group, is formed as the result
of these community meetings,to lead the revitalization effort. The Revitalization Council must be
formed within four to six weeks following receipt of the Front Porch Florida designation and it must
represent the community. The Revitalization Council,with input from neighborhood residents and
business owners, will develop a Neighborhood Action Plan for revitalization setting forth the
community's goals for change. The plan will be due to the Office of Urban Opportunity within 14
weeks following the formation of the Revitalization Council. The Office of Urban Opportunity will
select and fund a Community Liaison position to provide administrative support to the Revitalization
Council
After the community and the Office of Urban Opportunity adopt the Action Plan, resources from
both inside and outside the community will be identified to implement the plan. Assistance will be
given from the State of Florida to help implement the Action Plan. Many outside resources will flow
through a designated Fiscal Agent selected by the Office of Urban Opportunity. Other resources will
flow directly to organizations within the community.

OVERVIEW OF GRANT FUNDING
The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is the largest grant-making agency
in the Federal government. In Fiscal Year 1998, HHS awarded nearly $158 billion in Federal
grants. Of those funds, approximately 87% were for mandatory grant programs, such as
Medicaid. The remaining $19.7 billion funded discretionary grants (grants in which the
Department selected the grantees). These discretionary grant awards fund health and social
science research and social and health services throughout the country.
HIS is highly decentralized. Its eleven (11)principal operating divisions administer over 300
grant programs. Each operating division has grants and program offices, which administer
grant programs. These offices are the best sources of information on HHS grants, Program
offices are responsible for the programmatic, technical, and/or scientific aspects of grant
programs. Grants offices are responsible for issuing grant awards and overseeing the business
and financial management of grant awards.
Information contacts are usually included in the grant program announcements published in the
Federal Register, as well as in the grant program information contained in the Catalog of
Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA). In some cases, contacts in both program and grants
offices are provided in both publications. Program offices are the best source of information
about program initiatives and priorities, eligibility criteria, application format and submission,
and.the status of award notifications. Grants offices are the best source of information on
financial and business management requirements that grantees must follow.
The Grants Management Offices listed on the following page can provide information about
their respective grant programs or refer you to the appropriate grant and program offices
within their agency. However, we urge that you identify specific programs of interest using
the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance whenever possible so that you can contact directly
the appropriate program or grants office.

THE GRANTS PROCESS
(CONTINUED)
•
CLOSE-OUT PROCESS,
Grantees must incur their costs within the allowed project or budget periods. The grantee has
90 days following the final budget period to liquidate (make payment on) all their unpaid
obligations and submit their required final reports. Reporting requirements may vary
somewhat from program to program, however, at a minimum a programmatic and a financial
report must be submitted to the designated grants office.
