FLORIDA INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM Howard 'v . Gar*. DATE Auaust 15, 1983 C,LE City Manager su9;EC- Agreement iVith Allapattah .Merchants Association Charlotte Gallogly - Director _ September 7th Commission Department of Economic REFERENCES p Development Meetinc Acenda ENCLOSURES "It is recommended that the City Commis- sion approve the attached resolution authorizing the City Manager to enter into a contract agreement with the Alla- pattah Merchants Association (AMA) for the purpose of continuing their current neighborhood economic development prog.rarr in their respective area." On July 18, 1983, the Allapattah Merchants Association (AMA) appeared before the City Commission requesting $50,000 for the purpose of continuing an economic development program within the Allapattah business corridors. At that time, the City Commission directed the City Manager to find the dollars to support a contract with this organization and to report back to the Commission. After having met with the Director of the Department of Community Development, I have determined that funds, in the amount of $37,750, are available from the Community Development 9th year budget which can be used to fund a contract with the Allapattah Merchants Asso- ciation. The recommended amount of $37,750 is the exact same amount allocated to all other Community Based Organizations (CBOs) which are presently having their contracts renewed for the 9th year. It should be noted that during this Commission meeting, the Depart- ment of Economic Development (DED) recommended against the funding of this organization for the 9th year. This was based principally on the following reasons: (See Attachment I for a memorandum on this subject) 1) The AMA had requested a $50,000 administrative grant and a $130,000 seed capital grant for a project that entailed the construction of an office and retail space complex, a shopping mall, and an open-air bazaar adjacent to the Allapattah rapid transit station at the intersection of N.W. 36th Street and N.W. 12th Avenue. The realization of this project would be dependent, to a significant degree on the AMA's receiving a grant of approximately 83-757 Howard V. Carv_ Paae 2 $1.2 million from the urban Mass Transit Administration (UMTA). Since this proposal had not as yet ever been submitted to the UMTA, the DED felt it would be prema- ture to respond to a funding request for a project that still is in its preliminary stages. 2) The DED also recognized the fact that the AaIA had been awarded a $100,000 grant from the State of Florida. As a result, we felt that they could employ these funds for the administration of their program. In addition, the AMA would be once again eligible to apply to the State once the grant period expired in September, 1983. 3) The City had already selected the Allapattah Business Development Authority (ABDA) as the community -based organization that would implement an economic development program in all of Allapattah. The DED felt that there was no need to fund an additional agency in the area. Furthermore, even though we do recognize some of the organization's accomplishments during the past year (See Attachment II), some of our other experiences revealed that the PINTA did not adhere to its contract requirements on a consistent basis. This is supported by the following facts: 1) In an evaluation of all the CBOs conducted by the DED on January 28, 1983, the MIA received only 48 out of a possible 100 points as far as their performance was concerned (See Attachment III). This rendered them second lowest among the eight (8) contractors that were reviewed. The main problems discovered with the organi- zation were that they did not raise the required $6,250 in generated revenues and in general, did not manage an aggressive business development program. 2) Due to the AMA experiencing a delay in receiving its State grant, Allapattah utilized our 8th year contract funds to off -set their budgetary shortfall. As a result, the DED was forced to terminate the contract even though the contract period would not have expired until June 30, 1983. upon review of the close-out activities of the A4A's 8th year contract, DED's analysis of payments under this agreement indicated that the AMA invoiced the City of Miami for $9,973.00 in excess of amounts payable under the contract. Even though DED requested that the AMA reimburse these monies by April 8, 1983, the City did not receive actual payment until May 19, 1983. 83-75` , Howard V. Gary Page 3 Finally, it should be noted that the DED did recognize the concerted efforts of the AMA Board of Directors in reorganizing the staff of this organization and restructuring its economic development objectives. In addition, in the month of May, the Board 'Members of the AMA, realizing the importance of adhering to contractual obligations, personally contributed the $6,250 that was required by the contract. Since we will have two CBOs operating in the Allapattah business district, I recommend that the AMA be responsible for assisting businesses which are located north of N.W. 20th Street. The primary business corridor to be served will be along N.W. 36th Street from N.W. 12th Avenue to 22nd Avenue. The Allapattah Merchants Association will be responsible for meeting the following objectives: 1) Organize one or more merchant associations within each neighbor- hood area and conduct monthly meetings. 2) Develop a business crime prevention program for the businesses within their neighborhoods, by business districts. 3) Identify and implement projects that will be directed toward earning revenues so that the organization can become self- sufficient within a three-year period. The organization is required to raise $12,250 by January 1, 1984. 4. Publish a business -oriented newsletter on a quarterly basis. 5. Conduct a monthly inventory of commercial and office space and report this information to the Department of Economic Development by no later than the loth working day of each month. 6. Conduct monthly meetings of the corporation's Board of Direc- tors. 7. Identify the major economic development projects to be under- taken within each neighborhood area. it is therefore recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached resolution which would allow the City to enter into a contractual agreement with the Allapattah Merchants Association to implement a neighborhood economic development program in the designated area.

Gary DATE July 15, 1983 TILE City Manager SUBJECT Evaluation of Funding Proposal Submitted by the Allapattah /►� Merchants Association `aaM Charlotte Gallogly / Q REFERENCES Director 1/`.•�/I Department of Economic ENCLOSURES Development Background 'Pursuant to your directive, we have analyzed the Allapattah Merchants Association's (AMA) proposal for the commercial development of the area adjacent to the Allapattah rapid transit station at the inter- section of N.W. 36th Street and N.W. 12th Avenue. They are requesting a $50,000 administrative grant and a $130,000 seed capital grant for a project that entails the construction of an office and retail space complex, a shopping mall, and an open-air bazaar. .I Analysis We have analyzed this proposal in terms of the following issues: 1) To date, this proposal has not been formally submitted to the Urban Mass Transit Administration (UMTA). It is currently being reviewed by the Dade County Transportation Administration (DCTA) and,will then have to be formally approved by the Dade County Commission.. Once this occurs, the proposal will then be offi- cially submitted to UMTA. if it is approved by UMTA, a grant for the development of the area around this rapid transit sta- tion will be awarded to the City. It will then be incumbent upon the City to decide the manner in which this grant will be administered. 2) The funding amount to be received from UMTA for this project is anticipated to be approximately $1.2 million dollars. The proposal indicates that these funds will be used for land ac- quisition costs. However, once the land is acquired, substan- tial capital will be required for the construction of the pro- posed project. 3) The AMA has received a $100,000 grant from the State of Florida for the purpose of implementing an economic development program in Allapattah. This grant was awarded on October 1, 1982 and will expire on September 30, 1983. The AMA will then be able to reapply for this grant for the purpose of continuing their economic development activities in the area. 4) As to the funding of an economic development program in the r- I lb A& ,mh� Page 2 Allapattah community, the City has selected the Allapattah Business Development Authouri,-% (ABDA) as the community based organization to implement such a program. The ABDA will be responsible for all economic development activities in the Allapattah area. Recommendation We recommend that at this time, no funding decision be made in regards to this proposal. In consulting with the City's Planning Department, it appears that this proposal is very preliminary in nature since no major decisions have yet been made by either Dade County or UMTA. While we recognize the AMA's continued efforts in this project, we feel that it would be presumptuous on the City's behalf to respond affirmatively to a funding request for a project that is still in the preliminary stage. As for administrative support for the AMA, they will be able to once again apply for State funding for the 1983-84 Fiscal Year. At the same time, the City has selected the ABDA to implement its economic development program in the entire Allapattah area.

FLORIDA INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM to Howard V. Gary OArE January 28, 1983 FILE City Manager sUBJE-- Evaluation of Contracts with Neighborhood Economic Development Corporations FROM, Charlotte Gallogly, Directo REFE -ENC S. Department of Economic Developme t ENCLOSURES Two ( 2 ) - Pursuant to your and Commissioner Dawkins' 'request, I have evaluated the performance of the eight (8) corporations which are currently under contract with the City of Miami to establish and manage economic development programs within their respective neighborhood business : districts. A listing of the corporations under contract and their performance score based on a rating system with a best possible rating score of 100 points are provided below: Contractor Numerical Score Little River Chamber of Commerce 100 Downtown Miami Business Association 92 Martin Luther King Economic Development Corporation 92 SBOC Little iiavana. 84 Overtown'Economic Development Corporation, Inc. 78 Wynwood Community Economic Development, Inc. 54 Allapattah Merchants Association 48 Coconut Grove Local Development Corporation, Inc. 46 _.._ This memorandum will provide you with background information on the City's prior years experience with these contractors, the contract requirements in effect for the 8th year program, an evaluation of the contractor's performance during the first six months of FY 82-83, and lastly, my recommendations regarding contract continuation with the contractors that have not performed at an acceptable level. BACKGROUND At the same time the Urban Development Services, Inc. assisted the City to establish Miami Capital Development Corporation, it also provided the City with several reports on the capacity and perform- ance of the economic development corporations. These reports indicate that UDS believed that "the funding of these neighborhood organizations for general and administrative functions will not result in any sig- nificant positive impact on the economic environment of the community." 83-75 7" Page 2 However, they did recomanend that strong contract compliance and management oversight be provided in the event that the City intended to achieve positive results through funding the neighborhood organizations. As you are aware, the City of Miami chose to enter into agreements with these contractors beginning with the 6th year Community Development program (7/1/80 - 6/30/81). These contracts were renewed for the 7th year Community Development program (7/l/81 - 6/30/82) and again renewed for the 8th year program. After reviewing the files for the 6th and 7th year contracts,,it is very..apparent that the City did not mandate a strong work program and budget or monitor the contractors. Therefore,'neither I or any- one can analytically evaluate the performance of the contractors or the benefit of these contracts to the City of Miami. During these two years, the City conducted three separate fiscal audits which questioned over $55,000 in expenditures. We presently are working with the contractors to resolve the audit costs so that we will minimize the amount that the corporations have to reimburse the City. It should be noted that the Internal Audit Department indicated in these audits that the Department of Trade and Commerce did not provide any direction to these contractors in terms of policies and procedures or monitor their performance. . Additionally, the U.S'. Department of HUD has repeatedly cited the City for the poor performance of the contractors and failure of the City to establish fiscal controls. 8th Year Contract Requirements (7/l/82 - 6/30/83) As you will recall, one of your priorities and mandates to me as I assumed the position of Director of the Department of Trade and Commerce in February 1982, was to provide a balance between inter- national development and local economic development. Therefore, my efforts were concentrated during the Spring of 1982 in working with the contractors to develop strong management by objective work programs for the upcoming 8th year, to establish a CBO Policies and Procedures Manual and a Program Directive.System and to formulate narrated budgets to assure that the problems of the past were not repeated during the 8th year and to direct contractor efforts in a positive fashion. In April 1982, I forwarded to all prospective contractors list of contract requirements for the upcoming year (see attached). It is important to review nine (9) of the most critical requirements (management by objectives) that the contractors had to implement during the 8th year, since our evaluation of the contractors is based on their performance against requirements. The requirements in place for FY 82-83 are listed below: 1, Conduct an annual business survey during the months of July and August 1982 utilizing a standarized questionnaire provided by the Department of Trade and Commerce. 83--751 Page 3 2. Organize one or more merchant associations within each neighborhood area and conduct the first meeting by July 30, 1982 and thereafter on a rlonthly basis. 3. Develop a business crime prevention program for the businesses that reside within each neighborhood by business district, by no later than August 31, 1982. Specifically, contractors should develop business crime watch programs for each of the business areas within the neighborhoods. 4. Identify and implement the projects that will be directed towards earning revenues for each contractor so that the Community Based Organizations can become self-sufficient within a three-year period. 5. Publish a business -oriented newsletter on a quarterly basis. 6. Conduct a monthly inventory of commercial and office space and report this information to the Department of Trade and Commerce utilizing a standarized reporting format by no later than the loth working day following the end of each month. The first month's inventory update will be due September .14, 1982.. ., 7. Conduct monthly.mdetings of the corporation's Board of Directors. 8. Refr.'four..neighborhood businesses a month, who are seeking financial --assistance, to Miami Capital Development, Inc. 9. Identify the major economic development projects to be undertaken for each neighborhood area. Upon receipt of the contract instructions, the CBOs submitted management by objectives which addressed each and every one of these contract requirements. ' With the beginning of the 8th contract year, each contractor was required to implement the MBOs, adhere to the CBO Policies and Procedures Manual (see attached) and establish a strong financial system. In ad ition to the establishment of a strong contract compliance system, we also advised each contractor that they would be monitored on a monthly basis for both program- matic and fiscal contract compliance. This occurred to assure that contractors were in compliance and to prevent, early on in the contract year, the problems that were apparent in the City's prior audits of three corporations in which they questioned over $55,000 in costs. In addition to establishing a series of contract requirements, it is important to point out that this Department implemented the Department of Community Development requirement that funding to these contractors which had previously been at $50,000 a year would be reduced with the beginning of the 8th year, Specifically, the change in the policy was that over a three year -period (8th, 9th, and loth CD years) the City would withdraw its support from 83 -757 r L .0 Page 4 $50,000 to $43,750 (a 25% reduction for the 8th year) from $43,750 to $37,750 (a 50% reduction for the 9th year) and from $37,750 to $25,000 (a 75% reduction for the 10-th year). This requirement was imposed to assure that the contractors became self-sufficient over a three year period and to determine whether these contractors were critical and viable economic development entities within their respective business districts. 8TH YEAR EVALUATION Based on the monitoring of these contractors during the first six months of the contract year and through the development of a rating system with a possible best score of 100 points, the performance of the contractors during the first six months of the year is as follows: Contractor Little River Chamber of Commerce Downtown Miami Business Association Martin Luther King Economic Development Corporation SBOC Little Havana Overtown Economic Development Corporation, Inc. Wynwood Community Economic Development, Inc. Allapattah Merchants:. Association Coconut Grove Local Development Corporation, Inc. Numerical Score 100 92 92 84 78 . 54 48 46 As you will note by the contractor's performance, three corporations did not perform in an acceptable level during the first six months of the contract year. My recommendations for these organizations are provided below. . . . t RECOMMENDATIONS FOR CONTRACT CONTINUATION Wynwood Community Economic Development, Inc. The Wynwood Community Economic Development, Inc did not comply with the major contract requirements for the 8th year. Specifically, the corporation did not establish a Merchants Association and conduct monthly meetings of the association to assist the corporation in establishing strong, aggressive work programs for the Wynwood business district and they did not raise the required $6,250. My recommendation for Wynwood is that the contract be discontinued because of the corporation's failure to meet the above contract requirements. In the event that you find my recommendation un- acceptable, I would recommend that they be allowed to continue their program until the City's funds are exhausted for the 8th year. . 83-- i '00' i Page 5 Consideration of Wyn..;ood for a 9th be dependent upon the Corporation's its ability to raise an additional Merchants Association prior to the Allapattah Merchants Association year contract by the City shall raising the required $6,250 , $6,250 and incorporating a 9th year program. Allapattah Merchants Association did not raise the required $6,250 and did not manage an aggressive business development program. Because of the delay in this corporation's receiving its State grant, Allapattah utilized our contract funds to off -set the shortfall, and therefore, at this point in time all funds in the contract ($43,750) have been fully expended and I have advised the corporation its contract has been terminated. The corporation's ability to go forward into the 9th year should be dependent upon.the raising of the required $60250, its ability to raise an additional $6,250, and the design of a business development program prior to June 30, 1983. It is important to note that this corporation may receive a $1.5 million grant from UMTA for neighborhood commercial development asso- ciated with the Allapattah Rapid Transit Station. Coconut Grove Local Development Corporation, Inc. During the entire time that I have been with the City, we have been working with the Coconut Grove Local Development Corporation to resolve a host of problems related to audit and performance concerns. One of our most important requirements was that a new Board of Directors be formed and that qualified staff be hired. Even though Coconut Grove did not meet many of the major requirements, it did in the,last 30 days of the contract form a new Board of Directors and raised.the required $6,250. The Board is currently involved .in•evaluating and making recommendations to the City on the Grand Avenue Plan which was prepared by the Planning Department in conjunction with this department. Because of the fact that we finally have a viable Board which has demonstrated the ability to raise revenue and to take a leadership position in the development of a business development program for Grand Avenue, I recommend that we go forward with this contract with continued management oversight for the remainder of the contract year.
