SUNJECT: Discussion Item
November 13th Commission
Agenda - Camillus House
FROM: REFERENCES:
Cesar H. Odio
City Manager ENCLOSURES:
BACKGROUND:
On July 25, 1986 the City Commission requested that the Department of
Development investigate the feasibility of acquiring the Camillus
House located at 726 N.E. 1st Avenue.
The City originally made an offer to purchase the facility on April
11, 1985, (City Commission Resolution 85-394). The City's offer was
revised pending a reappraisal of the property and the City had
received a verbal indication from representatives of Camillus House
that the offer was acceptable but a signed contract was not received
by the City. In April of this year the offer to purchase was
withdrawn due to the need to impound all remaining land acquisition
funds designated to the Southeast Overtown/Park West pending
settlement of the Overtown Urban Initiatives Condemnation Case (Dade
County vs William Sawyer).
The acquisition and relocation of Camillus House is essential to
ensure the successful development of Phase I of the Southeast
Overtown/Park West Project. The Park West Association and the
selected Phase I developers (including Decoma Venture) have
emphatically expressed their concern for the need to relocate this
facility out of Park West. The relocation of this important social
service facility to another location will also stimulate additional
private investment within the project area.
Camillus House has taken steps to relocate and they have purchased
and received partial donation of a large tract of land at N.W. 5th
Street at N.W. 3rd Avenue (West of I-95) The existing zoning on the
site (CR-2/7 and RG-3/7 precludes the construction of a rescue
mission.

Camillus House, funded through private donations provides an
essential service to the Miami's homeless and indigent population.
They have noted they need to be located near the downtown area and in
proximity Jackson Memorial Hospital in order to adequately service
their clients who cluster within the Downtown Area.
On October 3, 1986 a meeting was held with representatives of
Camillus House to discuss the potential public acquisition of the
facility and relocation alternatives. It was indicated that Camillus
House would be interested in selling their facility to the City based
on an updated appraisal of the property which has been ordered. A
major concern of Camillus House was need for assistance of the City
in allowing them to construct a replacement facility on land they
have already purchased. Based on their current building concept a
zoning change would be necessary. They propose to modify their
existing operations by providing several store front feeding
facilities for their clients and providing only a dormitory and
social service facilities at N.W. 5th Street This modification they
believe will eliminate the food lines that surround their current
facility at meal times and lessen any negative impact that such a
facility would have on adjacent properties. Community groups within
the area, including the Overtown Advisory Board have expressed
opposition to such a proposal.
Two essential issues must be resolved in order for the City to move
forth on the acquisition of the facility estimated to cost
approximately $1,100,000 (January 1986 appraisal).
^ I. Securing funding for acquisition and relocation. Potential
funding sources include:
1. Section 108 Funds
Source:
Section 108 funds which may be remaining after the court
settlement for the "UMTA Acquisition" through the appellate
process or negotiation of the Dade County vs Sawyer case.

Time Frame: 2 months
Amount of Funds: Undetermined
2. City of Miami, General Obligation Bonds, Series 1986.
Source:
Funds which might be remaining from these Housing Bonds
originally issued in 1984. All funds are currently
allocated for the development of rental housing on sites
scattered through the City. Subject to approval of Bond
Counsel.
Time Frame: These bond funds must be expended by June,
1987.
Amount of Funds: Undetermined.
_ 3. Tax Increment District Supported Borrowing.
Source:
Tax Increment District Trust Fund in the future, dependent
upon additions to the tax roll and the availability of funds
after the repayment of the Section 108 loan obligation.
Current estimates would allow for a $15,000,000 tax exempt
issue or a $11,500,000 taxable issue, of which approximately
$8,000,000 would be needed for application to the Section
108 obligation, repayment.
Time Frame: 1989-90.
Amount of Funds: $6,000,000

a
Time Frame:
Fiscal year 1987-88. (June 15, 1987) - anticipated 13th
year allocation.
Amount of Funds:
Anticipated competitive process, availability and amount
uncertain. Discretionary allocation amongst recipients
determined by City Commission approval of CDBG 13th year
budget.
Acquisition by the Department of Off -Street Parking.
Source:
Department of Off -Street Parking has pursued acquisition of
parcels in the area. The Camillus site could be purchased
for development by DSOP for arena parking.
Time Frame:
Dependent upon action of the Off -Street Parking Board.
Limited funding available. Site may be sufficiently
profitable to repay debt.
Amount of Funds: As needed.
Tax Exempt Borrowing, two existing available loan pools.
A. Source:
The City of Gulf Breeze, Florida has established a
$500,000,000 Capital Financing Program available to
municipalities in the state. The terms of this financing
vehicle provide advantages over conventional borrowing as
interests rates are competitive and there are no issuance
costs associated. Term of repayment may be extended over 29
1/4 years and the current variable rate is 5 3/4%.
Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Commission

The bonds could be used to finance the construction of a
surface parking lot to service the adjacent Sports Arena.
The city would most likely be required to pledge certain
available general non -ad valorem revenues to the repayment
of the loan. The city, however, could reimburse the General
Fund through the proceeds from the parking facility.
B. Source:
The Florida League of City"s Capital financing pool has been
establish to provide short term borrowing with a 10 year
maximum repayment at a variable rate. These bonds are rated
AAA and provide low issuance costs. At current variable
interest rates, annual debt service over 10 year would
average $165,000 per year. The Department of Development is
currently reviewing documents for this program. Funding for
repayment could be through the Tax Increment Revenues.
Anticipated revenues for 1989/90 of $1,429,000 (+ $300,000
for land lease payments for the arena) of which only
$1,000,000 will be needed to cover debt service on
$8,000,000 Tax Increment 'Bond (issued for retirement of
Section 108 Obligation).
II. Relocation of Camillus House.
A relocation site must be found in order for this important
facility to continue to provide services to City. A detailed
review of their proposed development plan for the N.W. 5th
Street site should be undertaken by the Planning Department.
Review of their proposed new facility program should be
undertaken in order to ascertain if their operations could be
modified to allow them to meet the existing zoning restrictions
on the property.
RECOMMENDATION
It is respectfully requested that the City Manager be authorized to
enter into negotiations for the acquisition of Camillus House (as per
Resolution 85-394) based on securing a funding source.
