Isiaa Jones Esq.,
The Omni Redevelopment District Community Redevelopment Agency ("CRA") respectfully requests your approval of
the following emergency purchase(s) and expenditures. The expenditures, goods and/or services required herein are as a
result of one or both of the following circumstance(s):
1) A public emergency (threats to health, life, welfare or safety); and
2) Relocation expenses as authorized by FS 163.370.
The expenditures as a result of this emergency are in direct compliance with Chapter 163. 370 of Florida Statutes and
the emergency procurement procedures as define in Section 18-90 of the City Code, authorization to waive the
competitive bid process, albeit it is a retroactive authorization, is also requested for the aforementioned emergency
purchase if greater than $25,000.
This purchase is necessary for the following reason:
During the month of December 2020 the CRA was made aware that a tree on its property had fell on the neighboring
property causing significant damage to a single family dwelling unit. As a result of this damage, the unit is no longer
habitable and the family has been displaced. Based on the nature of this emergency and COVID-19 emergency, it has
proven extremely difficult to get as many quotes from various vendors that may be able to assist. Reimbursements and
expenditures below relates to the relocation expenses for the family residing at 1440 NW I Avenue Miami, Florida that
has been displaced because of a falling tree from Omni CRA's property located at 1428 NW 1' Avenue, Miami, Florida.
As a result the CRA has offered assistance to the family including but not limited to the following:
1. Temporary relocation assistance
2. Rental assistance
3. Reimbursement of relocation expenses, food and personal items lost as a direct result of the damage

Please see the attached list of expenditures to date. The list and costs have not yet been included as some of the costs have
not been fully outlined as of today's date. For example the cost to rebuild the structure, and additional relocation expenses.
Upon your approval, and pursuant to Section 18-90 of the City Code, the CRA will prepare an item for ratification of this
emergency for the next available Commission meeting.
