The Honorable Mayor and Members

RECOMMENDATION:
DATE : L FILE
SUBJECT: Model City Homeownership
Zone Trust
REFERENCES: City Commission Meeting
April 26, 2001
ENCLOSURES:
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the proposed ordinance on
second reading creating and establishing the Model City Homeownership Trust, which will be
responsible for providing oversight and facilitating the City's revitalization efforts and
redevelopment activities to be undertaken in the Model City Homeownership Zone, subject to
applicable City Code provisions.
BACKGROUND:
At its Special Meeting of February 15', 2001, the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 01-
157 that approved, in principle, the creation and establishment of the Model City
Homeownership Zone Trust to ensure that the City's short-term, intermediate and long-term
revitalization goals for the Model City neighborhood can be implemented expeditiously and
effectively.
The approved resolution further authorized and directed the Administration to return within
ninety (90) days with legislation to effectuate the establishment of the Trust. At its meeting of
April 26, 2001, the Administration prepared the appropriate legislation to establish the Model
City Homeownership Zone Trust and this legislation was approved on first reading. However, at
the second reading, the City Commission deferred approval of the enacting ordinance until a
Public Hearing was held to provide an opportunity for citizen input in the creation of the Trust
and the implementation of the Model City Homeownership Pilot Project.
At the City Commission meeting of June 14,.2001, as a result of the Public Hearing, substantive
changes in the proposed Ordinance establishing the Model City Homeownership Zone Trust
necessitated a return to first reading, which was adopted at that time. The most significant
changes include:
• Restructuring the composition of the Membership of the Trust - Under the original
design of the Trust, it was proposed that the Board of Directors consist of seven (7)
individuals representing the following disciplines: residential construction, architecture,
zoning, law, finance and community liaison. The revision maintains the membership at
seven (7) individuals, however, under the restructuring, one (1) of the seven (7) seats
will be a Public Advocate who will be elected by residents, business owners or principal
officer/elected official of a faith based organization or community development
corporation from the Model City Revitalization District:.
• The. boundaries of. the proposed Model City Homeownership Pilot Project were
expanded to include N.W. 17`h Avenue to the City limits at N.W. 19 Avenue,between
N.W. 62 Street and Interstate 112.
In an effort to move forward with the redevelopment. of the Model City neighborhood, it is
recommended that the City Commission approve of the proposed ordinance on second reading
that establishes the Model City Homeownership Trust.
