BACKGROUND: The City Commission adopted the Five Year Consolidated Plan in the summer of 1999 that identified comprehensive revitalization initiatives to be undertaken in the most depressed neighborhoods in the City of Miami. The Five Year Consolidated Plan identified Community Revitalization Districts to target comprehensive revitalization projects focusing on homeownership opportunities and redevelopment of commercial corridors. Resolution No. 01-160, adopted by the City Commission February 15, 2001, authorized and directed the City Manager to proceed with predevelopment and project related activities, including land assembly and relocation, relating to the Model City Homeownership Zone Pilot Project. Pursuant to this legislation, the Administration has initiated an aggressive land assembly effort in the Model City neighborhood to purchase land necessary for comprehensive revitalization. Resolution 01-1044, adopted at the City Commission meeting of September 25, 2001, established a policy relating to the acquisition of land for homeownership and comprehensive revitalization projects in the Community Revitalization Districts that authorizes the City Manager to offer up to fifteen percent (15%) above the highest appraised value of real properties to be acquired in connection with the implementation of said projects. During the negotiation process to purchase properties in the Model City neighborhood, the Administration contracted two (2) independent appraisals to be conducted on each parcel to provide a basis for purchase negotiations. U2- 678 Subsequently, the City Attorney indicated that Resolution No 01-1044 conflicted with State Law, which stipulates that the purchase price must not exceed the average value of the two (2) appraisals and that the City Commission must approve any purchase above this limit. In an effort to comply with State Law and move forward with the land assembly phase of the Model City Homeownership Pilot Project, it is recommended that the City Commission approve the attached resolution that amends Resolution No. 01-1044 and establishes a revised policy relating to the acquisition of land for homeownership and comprehensive revitalization projects in the community revitalization districts. FISCAL IMPACT: The proposed legislation is a policy matter and does not impact the General Fund or grant funds. 02- i 1[10BThe Herald SUNDAY, JUNE 2, 2002 Fu PUBLIC NOTICE FOR PUBLIC HEAMM, REGARDING COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ISSUiES .- r�V ^\ X17 F% The Miami City Commission will hold a Public Hearing To discuss the following item�r"ling to the Community Development Block Grant Program: 1.
