F N:LCE_pEE Pursuant to your request, enclosed herein please find an excerpt from the minutes of the December 19, 1985 City Commission meeting, which this office has completed on the afternoon portion of the discussion regarding Agenda Item "H" - "Low Income Housing on Claughton Island". If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call. cc: Honorable Members of the City Commission Cesar Odio, City Manager 36. DISCUSSION REGARDING LOW INCOME HOUSING ON CLAUGHTON ISLAND. Mayor Suarez: Next item. You are not required to speak, Bob, and it might not even be a good idea, in view of the action we took. I am sure you were advised of what it was. Mr. Robert L. Traurig: I would like the opportunity, recognizing that ... Mr. Plummer: Ah! The honorable Mr. Traurig. Mr. Traurig: Thank you, sir. I would like to say ... Mayor Suarez: You are not running for Mayor, are you? Mr. Traurig: No. Mr. Plummer: Where is your check for $8,000,000 the Mayor asked for? Mr. Traurig: I wasn't here, so I didn't hear. I want to express my personal apologies to you, Mr. Mayor, and to each member of this Commission and to all those people who attended the morning session to participate in the discussion regarding Item "H" as it appears on today's agenda. For my failure to be here when the item came up, I would tell you that I was at the Metropolitan Dade County Commission, that had an unscheduled item dealing with the occupational license tax, which took an hour and one-half, that it preceded their consideration of items that were on that agenda, and I was item number 2, and I just didn't get through in time, and I appreciate your giving me this opportunity to spend a couple of seconds to number 1, say hello, and number 2 to tell you that I am fully aware that on January 23 we are to come back to you to discuss sites. I think that is a lot more important, that is, the site selection, than the question of whether or not we need additional time. We don't even want to talk about that until the appropriate time. What I would urge this Commission to do, and that the staff do, and that all of those people who are in the audience and in the real estate community, and this community to do, is to advise us whether or not there are alternatives sites that ought to be considered and presented to you. We thought we were doing a very diligent job of identifying sites that were property located, and which ought to be favorably considered. It is obvious to us that we have to come back to you with a number of additional sites in a number of additional communities and, rather than deal with the specifics of the site selection at this time, I would merely say that we are anxious to solve this problem to the satisfaction of all those who have an interest in the outcome. And I thank you for giving us this opportunity to at least say that we regret that we were unable to make the presentation at 10:30 A.M. this morning and that we that we for giving us the opportunity on January 23. Mr. Dawkins: Mr. Traurig. Mr. Traurig: Yes, sir. Mr. Dawkins: I think I need to tell you that when you come back on the 23rd, I am not interested in no numerous number of sites. Sir, we said put a 100 units - I mean put half the units in Liberty City, put half the units in Little Havana. Now, when you come back with multiple sites, you delay the process, sir, in that you are making me make a selection for you to go back and act on. When you come in on the 23rd, I would suggest to you, sir, that I will be looking for you to have two sites selected, for you to have an option on purchasing them, or whatever it takes to acquire them, and that you have identified you a builder to build. If you do not have those things on the 23rd, sir, I will move ... Madam City Attorney, tell me if I am correct ... I would like to move at that time that because the builder has not provided the City with 200 units of low income housing, that it revert back to the original order, and that put 200 units on Claughton Island immediately, and don't do no other public construction on anything else on Claughton Island until 200 units are completed, and I wish you would tell me how to do that when we come back on the 23rd. Mayor Suarez: Correct. ld 1 December 1.9, 1985 86-S i 8E-sl IL Mr. Carollo: Miller, if I can make a correction - 225! Mr. Dawkins: 225• Mr. Plummer: No, no. If they go on the island, it is 200. Mr. Dawkins: Off the island it is 225• Mr. Plummer: He has got to pay a_ penalty off the island. Mayor Suarez: Bob, rather than repeat all the stuff that took place, there was other discussion by each one of the Commissioners, and I expressed what I hoped you would come back with, and it is not exactly that, but you might want to go back to your partner and see what it is that was stated, rather than repeat the whole thing again. There are people waiting on other items. Mr. Traurig: Okay. Yes, and I apologize to them, and I thank them for giving me this opportunity. We will visit with each of you so that we can to understand exactly what each person suggests that we do, and I understand Mr. Dawkins' desires. I would only answer it this way, Commissioner Dawkins, that the only reason I said that we would come back with multiple sites is so that if you reject one site, you may have a second site within that package that might satisfy you, but if ... Mr. Dawkins: Mr. Traurig, I will say again, and I admire your skillfulness as a lawyer, and you are able to put into words just what you want. That is how I got hung up where I am now, okay, so I must tell you now, that I don't want multiple sites. I don't want you to give me a choice. I want you to bring me two sites that you are going to build the units on. Mayor Suarez: That would certainly reflect my own opinion, too, I might add. I don't know about the rest of the Commission. Mr. Traurig: We thank you very much, and we appreciate this time. Mayor Suarez: Multiplicity of sites would simply confuse us, and we are really not in the site selection business, to tell you the truth. Mr. Traurig: Thank you. ld 2 Deceriblf.19� `1985 8E-61 } iy .� 4 t OFFICE OF THE CITY CLE f?J; 7 (1'{51: fit' ,7dd'icss the C ! t PLEASE PRI NT : C4�u0M POR FAVOR IMPRIMA: All 3 �iG-5 %k OFFICE OF THE CITY CLERK 1 te�s(i to add�e65 the Ct.tu Cc+mn.i.•ss Geri c'ri tic' �v�tcir<uu nuttte`t: ci_,: <c'r; a to Dese.a� i,7 dt gmc a 1'a cc'mi•s ,'ri `` sigueritc mate•'tta: PLEASE PRINT-, 451M POR FAVOR am om .ate IMPRIMA: 6 ) 9 �� a.css .checctior. 3 SG-5: ►�_ A OFFICE OF THE CITY CLERK e\OF • P\Q`/ I wis-1, .to addte,6h tile city Conun's's on oll .the 6 oz ow4 ng ma.tte.n.: Ve.6eahia diAig�hme. a �a c0mt,s.io►t con ne£ac�.o►i a �a .6iguen•te ma•teh.sa: 20 PLEASE PRINT: (�I S 4 POR FAVOR ame om he IMPRIMA: 2m�er�,, �� TtP h eh.s tihe ccton SUMMARY FOR THE PROPOSED LIBERTY CITY HOUSING DEVELOPMENT ACT, SERVICES, INC.

The second location is 9/10 of an acre and is also cited owned. It is known as the Carver YMCA Branch and is bounded on the north by N.W. 58th Street, on the south by N.W. 57th Street and on the east by N.W. 15th Avenue. PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The project would consist of approximately 121 residential units. The first site - the " 15 21 " site - was selected because it addresses a critical need for additional decent housing units in this area of the City. This area is located in the center of Liberty City and is called "Germ City" because of its poor, dilapidated housing, high unemployment, high teenage pregnancy and other assorted social ills. For some time, the City has targeted this area as one of its high pr for ity areas for redevelopment under its Community Development Program. R PROJECT DESCRIPTION COWD This site was purchased by the City with the intent to build residential units. Approximately 114 apartments are proposed for this site in a mid -rise building. The mid -rise apartments will be primarily two bedroom units with a few one bedroom units. These units are designed to attract the large number of residents in Liberty City currently living in substandard conditions displaced and/or or those without adequate housing. The second site is knows as the "Carver Branch YMCA Site". This site was purchased by the City at the request of the Carver Branch YMCA and area leaders. The request was based on the Y's plan to build a new and expanded facility on a larger parcel of land located on 62nd Street and 20th Avenue in Liberty City. In addition to assisting the Y in providing increased services to the Liberty City residents, the City was also in the process of identifying land in the area that could be used to provide sorely needed housing in the area. The housing units for this site will be single family and will total seven. The seven units will be two and three bedroom units. The targeted population will be geared to those low and moderate income residents of the area that are able, with governmental assistance, to purchase their own homes. 13 PROPOSED PROJECT MIX: Mid -Rise 1 Bedroom Units 14 2 Bedroom Units Sb -100 l 114 Single Family 2 Bedroom Units 5 3 Bedroom Units 2 7 TOTAL PROJECT 121 DEVELOPMENT TEAM ACT SERVICES, INC., is a corporation organized under the laws of the State of Florida.

Ni i S TACOLM ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION t e PROPOSAL FOR SHELL CITY SITE �f ! i! i 1 �y 4 • -ter k'-�; �( r, l' - vL: TE TACOLCY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION Q PROJECT DEVELOPER Tacolcy Economic Development Corporation (TEDC) is a 4 year old nonprofit tax exempt cdc serving Liberty City in Miami and the adjacent 'Model City Area in Dade County. It was created and spun off by the Belafonte Tacolcy Center (BTC), a 19 year old youth services agency helping 15,000 young people in these neighborhoods each year. TEDC is headed by Otis Pitts, Jr., a former Miami policeman and Executive Director of BTC for better than 8 years. The Board of Directors is chaired by Dr. James Plinton, former Vice President of Eastern Airlines. Other members include: M. Athalie Range; Bill Wynn; Art Hill; Major Leroy Smith; the President of the 7th Avenue Merchants Association; and a senior citizen resident and two other businessmen. TEDC's overall objective is the revitalization of the community it serves. Its strategy for achieving this end involves: comprehensive planning to maximize redevelopment impact; developing catalytic economic and residential projects; and providing technical and financial assistance to others to stimulate additional investment in the area. Eventually, TEDC hopes that the redevelopment process will become self -fueling --that the private sector will take it over on a nonsubsidized basis. TEDC's major accomplishments to date are as follows. o Formulating a comprehensive redevelopment plan including a detailed Streetscape Improvements Program for the 7th Avenue Corridor. o Developing and managing the successful $2.1 million, 48,000 square foot Edison Plaza shopping center anchored by a 31,000 square foot Winn Dixie supermarket and housing 5 minority merchants and professional firms. Edison Plaza; has created some 122 jobs. It is owned by BTC. o Providing technical and financial assistance to local merchants and property owners resulting in the renovation of 57 storefronts along the 7th Avenue Corridor to date. Another 43 storefront renovations are planned, and better than $100,000 has been obtained for other Streetscape Improvements. o Providing technical support to help attract two new black owned commercial developments next to Edison Plaza, a McDonald's and the 10 store New Beginnings strip shopping center. These ventures have created better than 100 jobs. TEDC receives support from: the City of Miami; Dade County; The Ford Foundation; and the Greater Miami LISC. In September, 1984, LISC provided predevelopment grant funds to test the feasibility of the proposed housing development on the Shell City Site. The study done indicates that the project is feasible and will contribute significantly to the redevelopment of the area. TEDC has also secured strong interest from The Ford Foundation and Equitable Life Assurance in helping finance the proposed project.
