FROM: 1 Inez REFERENCES:
City Manage ENCLOSURES:
At the request of the Honorable Mei Martinez, Secretary of the U.5. Department of Housing and
Urban Development (f-IUD), an executive team headed by the Directors of the Departments of
Community Development and Management and Budget met ~~•Ith the Secretary's staff to discuss
the Model Ctty Homeownership Project and the planned revitalization initiatives in each of the
City's Community Revitalization Distracts.
While in Washington, the Cit_v team also had opportunities to discuss the City's revitalization
initiatives with key staff from the ):nvironmental Protection Agency (EPA) and legislative staff
of Congresswoman Came Meek, who has identified the Model City Homeownership Project as
one of her priority projects and has been actively pursuing federal financial support foi• the
project at the Congressional level.
During Secretary Mlutinez' recent visit to South Florida, Ms. Gwendolyn C. Warren, Director,
Department of Community Development, had an opportunity to take the Secretary on a tour of
'the Model City neighborhood and share with him the City's vision to revitalize this important
community. Mayor Carollo had another opportunity to present the City's strategy to revitalize ils
most distressed neighborhoods and this resulted rn the Secretary's invitation to present the City's
revitalization initiative to his key staff people. 'Through its interaction with these federal
officials, it has been made clear to the City team that the strategy adopted by the City =_
Commission through the approval of the Five-Year Consolidated Plan represents the type of
initiative that can be used as a model for urban communities throughout the country.
The forum provided an ideal opportunity for the executive staff to establish the essential contacts
that may be potentially beneficial to the City as it seeks federal funds to support the revitalization
efforts. In addition, the Community Development and Management and Budget Directors had an
opportunity to visit development projects in Baltimore similar to the efforts proposed in the City
of Miami. As a result, representatives from the City of Baltimore have agreed to provide
invaluable technical assistance to the City of Miami in its efforts to create similar redevelopnu:nt
activities with a focus on homeownership opportunities and economic revitalization.
On the local front, the Adminisuation continues to move forward wish its implementation
strategy for the Model City Homeownership Pilot Project. Recently, the firm of Dover-Kohl was
selected as the Master Planner for the Project. The Departments of Community Development,

Asset Management and Law have been actively involved in the property acquisition phase of the
project. Over 1501etters have been sent to owners of vacant parcels or properties with vacant or
abandoned structures. As a result, 140 appraisals have been requested, of which approximately
40 have been completed, and 2l offer letters have been sent to acquire properties. An additional
26 properties have been purchased from the Miami-Dade County List of Lands. The
Administration estimates that the City of Miami currently controls between 50.60~b of the land
in the northern half of the proposed Model City Homeownership Pilot Project. The northern half
includes the area from N.W. 58 Street to N.1'V. 62 Street between N.W. 12 and 17 Avenues. In
addition, the Building Department has aggressively been demolishing blighted structures in the
area, including the former Mianu Limited Section 8 Moderate Rehabilitation buildings.
In late May, the Department of Community submitted a $2,000,000 grant application to HUD
through the Brownfield Economic Development Initiative SUPERNOFA process. ff approved,
the City of Miami must also submit a request fora $2.7 million Section 108 Loan in conjunction
with the grant. This grant will enable the City to address mitigation issues to resolve
contamination along the commercial comdors of the Model City Homeownership Pilot Project.
The Administration will also compete for an Economic Development Initiative grant through the
HUD SUPERNOFA, which is due in early July.
The Administration will continue to keep you apprised of developments regarding this project
and plans for other revitalization initiatives in the other Community Revitalization Districts.
