Resolution and Quit Claim Deed
ENCLOSURES:
The administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the
City Manager to accept a Quit Claim Deed, in substantially the attached form, from the State of Florida to
provide for conveyance to the City of Miami of the State's interest in that property located at 5925-27
Northeast 2 Avenue, Miami, Florida, commonly known as the Caribbean Marketplace. This Resolution
further authorizes the City Manager to execute any and all documents necessary, in a form acceptable to
the City Attorney, to accept this deed.
BACKGROUND:
In July, 1998, the City of Miami provided financial assistance to the Haitian Task Force (HTF), a
community-based organization, in the amount of $150,000.00, for the development of the Caribbean
Marketplace, a commercial center for the Little Haiti community.
The City and the State of Florida Department of Community Affairs were two of various leaders that
provided financial assistance to this project. By 1992, the project experienced financial difficulties, due
to management by HTF, resulting in the organization being dissolved as an entity. Accordingly, with
ownership in question, all county taxes since 1992 were never paid.
On January 23, 1997, the City of Miami, along with the State of Florida, which together held similar
senior lien positions on the property, acquired the Caribbean Marketplace through a public auction. This
acquisition resulted in the termination of all other inferior liens on the property; however, the City and the
State automatically became liable for any unpaid taxes owed on the property. On February 9, 1998 the
City notified the State of the delinquent taxes owed and that a certificate holder would be filing for a tax
deed. The State advised that they would not be paying for the unpaid taxes and that they did not wish to
continue their partial ownership of this property. On February 10, 1998 the City Commission authorized
the payment of the outstanding taxes in the amount of $190,197.23. As a result of this situation the State
of Florida, Department of Community Affairs, agreed to transfer their partial ownership to the City of
Miami. ,
