Report On Organizations
Seeking To Operate Economic
Development Programs In
Edison -Buena Vista
Pursuant to your directive,•I have met with representatives of
the two groups that are seeking 9th year Community Development
funding to operate a neighborhood economic development program
in the Edison -Buena Vista area. These two groups are the
Edison -Buena Vista Local Development Corporation (EBVLDC) and
the Florida Economic Development Corporation (FF.DCO).
The following is a background summary on the Edison Buena -Vista
area and on the two organizations seeking the funding:
Edison -Buena Vista District
The Edison -Buena Vista district is a component of the Edison/Little
River target area. This district is generally within the boun-
daries of the FEC railroad, I-95 expressway, N.E. 54th Street,
and the Airport expressway.
The area can be characterized as principally a residential -type
neighborhood with a limited concentration of commercial establish-
ments.
As to population, this area can be truly labeled as multi -ethnic.
The area residents are mainly Black, Haitians, Latins and White
Anglos.
Edison -Buena Vista Local Development Corporation
This corporation was a City of Miami funded community based or-
ganization (CBO) during the 7th year Community Development
contract period (July 1, 1981 to June 30, 1982). The City of
Miami Department of Economic Development (DED) did not recommend
further funding of this organization because during the 7th
year contract period, this organization failed to respond in a
timely manner to several violations of contract provisions--#s�2
discovered by an audit conducted by the City of Miami Offia of
Internal Audit on March 1, 1982. The audit findings reveapd;
iZ
$13,027.47 in questioned costs. --

Also, it should be noted that the State of Florida had involun-
tarily dissolved this corporation on December 16, 1981 for
failure to file an annual report. On March 10, 1982, the Board
of Directors of EBVLDC voluntarily dissolved the corporation.
Florida Economic Development Corporation
This organization has never received City funding for the purposes
of implementing an economic development program. The attached
proposal (Attachment I) indicates that the organization does not
have an established record in the area of economic development.
In addition, it is apparent that the staff that has been identified
to implement the economic development project does not possess the
expertise or capability to successfully implement such a program.
Analysis
Our review of the two organizations requesting funding reveals
deficiencies that would seriously impact a City -funded economic
development program. One of the organizations has a poor history
of fiscal and programmatic management, and the other, does not
have an established record in the economic development arena.
In addition, it is essential to consider whether the Edison -Buena
Vista area requires a neighborhood economic development program.
This area is not generally considered to be a major business
(` district. While it is true that the Miami Design Plaza is within
the previously identified boundaries for Buena Vista, the former
operates independently through two organizations -- the Miami
Design Plaza Merchants Association and the Economic Development
Committee of the Design District.
Also, it should be noted that the City recently funded the Haitian
Task Force as a community based organization (CBO). This CBO is
responsible for fostering economic development activities generally
within the boundaries of Biscayne Boulevard, I-95 Expressway, N.E.
45th Street, and South of 79th Street. Thus, this CBO is servicing
businesses within the boundaries of Edison -Buena Vista.
Finally, it should be noted that consideration has been given to
extending the area of coverage of the City -funded CBO, Little
River Chamber of Commerce. If this is accomplished, this CBO
would provide additional coverage to the Buena Vista area.
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City not provide funding to either the
Edison -Buena Vista Local Development Corporation or to the Florida
Economic Development Corporation.
We feel that these two groups are not qualified to implement a
successful economic development program. Furthermore, we would
recommend against establishing a neighborhood economic development

program in the area. Ile strongly feel that the businesses that
are already there can be serviced by the Haitian Task Force and,
if necessary, the Little River Chamber of Commerce.
( In addition, the large concentration of businesses that are
within the Edison -Buena Vista boundaries and the Miami Design
Plaza are adequately being assisted by two of the most successful
organizations in the City of Miami -- the Miami Design Plaza
Merchants Association and the Economic Development Committee of
the Design District.

created •- between now employers needing workers and residents needing
jobs -- will definitely be a job creation / human resource program.
' 1
RESIDENTIAL AND CON?!rRCtAL RENAB1LITATIC`1
Because of the low ratn of ownership in Buena Vista, the strategy is to create
residential and corrne-rcial owrership opportunities for the existing residents.
Programs creating ownership opportunities include:
Below market interest rate mortgages financed through
City Bonds, or Anwerifirst, or Dade Federal, for the
purchase of existing structures.
- Renovation and resale whereby the lapidated properties are
secured with an option contract, rehabilitated, and sold to
the residents at written down prices.

needed strategies for further economic development.

OVERALL 'IMPACT NARRATIVE FOR
DEVELOPING BUENA VISTA
The overall economic development aspect of the Florida
Economic Development Corporation plan for the Buena
Vista target area is consistent with the overall mission
for deservingly economic development evidenced by studies
directed by the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce,
City of Miami, Industrial Development Authority, and others.
The design and scope sets forth mechanisms that create

economic: base and bring about positive improvement in the
total conditions of the area.
It is the directive of the Board of Directors of Florida
Economic Development Corporation, that the organization act
at the economic development arm for the Buena Vista Area,
and as a catalyst and/or conduit to ensure that the mission
is truly achieved:
To foster, encourage and promote
economic development projects
and programs.......... In order
to counteract the deterioration
of the economic base of the area
and provide for orderly economic
growth and development.
t
It is the philosophy of FEDCO that in order to be -effective
in this arena, an economic base must be established.
This organization, which has been assisted by some of the
other C. D. C.'s, in addition to fulfilling obligations
to others, has chosen also to accept the challenge of
economic development.
FEDCO is taking more of an active and gressive role. With
proper financial support from various sources, including
the State of Florida, it is our vision for this target
area to undergo enough physical change to reflect
positively on the economic development status within the
next five to ten years.
Through the acquisition of -the site at 4141 North Miami
Avenue, this will avtively serve as a mentor to develop
C the immediate area, pursue projects that will compliment
other redevelopment efforts, preserve the positive ethnicity
of the area City Community, so as to enhance the total
Dade County area.
TO THIS END, F E D C 0 ACCEPTS THE CHARGE AND THE•►
CHALLENGE OF ITS MISSION:
C
To foster, encourage and promote
economic development projects and
programs,... in order to counteract
the deterioration of the economic
base of the area and provide for
orderly economic growth and
development.
A CHANGE THAT THE COMMUNITY CAN "PLACE ITS HANDS ON"
MUST BE IN EVIDENCE.
It is the position of FEDCO that the disparity that now
exists between black and non -black businesses, income
levels, educational attainment, neighborhood environments.
infra structure, service facilities, ate., must be effec-
tively dented.
FEDCO will show that is can take a tangible leadership
role based on committment and perserverance.
To this end, FEDCO's goals, objectives and work plans are
congruent with the policy and purpose set forth in Chapter
288.601, Florida Statutes.

RE: Agenda Item - May 12, 1983 - Edison Buena Vista Focal
Develcarent Corporation
Dear Mr. . Alvarez:
On behalf fa the Board of Directors for the Edison Buena
Vista Local Develmment Corporation, we are formally requesting
to appear on the May 12, 1983 Commission ;Senda. The Edison Buena
Vista Board would like to seek funding for its coporation through
C9th year Ccmmunity Development funds.
We are requesting the above, so that, we may continue in the
economic develoamnt of our ccmnmity. . During the 7th year contractual
period, (July, 81 thur August,82) our organization experienced many
changes. Because of those changes, there seems to have been a
"aama,mication gap" between the Board and the the Department of Trade
and ConTmrce (which is now the Departimnt of Economic Development) .
At this point, I will give you a synapsis of what transpired. Those
actions which occurred were:
1. The Executive Director of the corporation, Air. Lou Sample
along with three (3) members of the Board decided to dissolve the
Ccorporation. This was done illegally, because there were 7 active
members serving on the board and a quorum was not present. In
December, 1981, the Board received a letter from the State stating that
the Corporation had not re -registered.
2. Though it was the decision to dissolve the Corporation by
those three members the office staff continued to function. On
February 1, 1982, Milion Valentine took over as Executive Director.
3. Upon taking this position, Mr. Valentine discovered that the
building in which the corporation had been renting, with City funds,
had been bought decept_fully by the fornier Executive Director. (See
Exhibit B). He had been using city funds which were allocated for
the rental of the building as mortgage payment's.
.S
40 41�
t
I
After aeet=a with one of the assistant City Attorney Is, and
receiving the advice of the Cit-., Attorney (See 2-:<hibit C) we have
retai:.ed legal counsel to pursue this issue.
4. Duri nq this period, Ms. . Gallogly had been hired as Director
of Trade and Ccrmerce. Upon visiting the corporation, fir. Valentine
informed Ms. Gallogly of the status of the corporation.
5. At this point, the office closed because there was no staff
to operate.
During that same period, Mr. F. Stewart, who was on the board felt
that the corporation was a vital part of the develcRanent of this area.
Llierefore on March 23, 1982 ,ir. Stewart re -registered the corporation
with new board menbers - so that the organization would be in good
standing with the State. I would also like to state, that during
this period, :Is. Gallogly was aware of all actions involving the
Edison Buena Vista. L'he records will show, that we never received a
formal letter from the Department of Trade and Ccrmierce terminating
our contract with the City of Miami. Since the formation of our new
board, the following has occurred:
1. On May 25th we met with Mike :Bendy, who was representing
Ms. Gallogly. At this meeting we were informied that we had to answer
certain items in the audit report for 6-30-81, as well as account for
$23,000.00. The records will show that we did all of the above.
(See Ddiibit C). On June 22, 1982 a letter was hand delivered to both
Mike Mendy and C. Gallogly answering all items in question.
2. In August, 1982, I (Cruz R. Rodriguez) met personally with M.
Mendy and C. Gallogly to discuss funding for the 8th year. At this
meeting the following occurred:
(a) Ms. Gallogly explained what the corporation's responsibility
would be in order to receive funding for the 8th year.
(b) I personally told Ms. Gallogly that I would put up the
corporations 25% so that the corporation could begin serving.
l
I
(c) On three occassions 'Ms. Gallogly assured the rew
President, Vice President and myself that we would receive funds
for the StZ year. (See a: hi.bit )
(d) 7he old board had several outstanding bills to be
,aid. The new Board of directors decided to clear up all old
business, so that we can begin anew. In late September those
outstanding bills were given to Ms. Gallogly, who passed th m on
to Mr. Mendy to handle.
(e) Since we had not heard from 11•1s. Gallogly's office, as
to the status of the bills, Mr. F. Stewart personally went down to
CMs. Gallogly's office to re -submit those bills and see if he could
provide any information in order to expedite payment. 7he present
Board of Directors assumed that (through several meetings and
conversations) that once the bills were taken care of we would be
refunded. Ms. Gallogly had Mr. Stewart meet with a new member of
her staff and asked her to handle the situation.
Mr. Alvarez we are ready to begin inplementing Economic
Deve logwnt in an area where it is most needed. As a new board we
have been working'continuously to stay abreast of the activities
and projects in the Edison Area.
we are prepared to present to the C=rassion a solidified
Cwork plan for the 9th year contractual period. We are also in a
position to generate the required revenue for this fiscal year.
Your assistance an this matter is sincerely appreciated.

CDear Dr. Sanders:
I am writing to inform you of the urgent administrative
matters that must be taken care of prior to our inviting new board
members. The first item is the legal status of the Corporation, I
contacted the secretary of States Office on January 19th to inquire
as to the legal status of the Corporation. According to their
records we were involuntarily dissolved on December 16th, 1981 for
failing to pay the $15.00 annual fee and filing the 1982 annual
report in addition a $10.00 late charge must be included: Upon
reciept of the afore mentioned items we will regain our legal sta-
tus.
The most pressing item is that of delinquent taxes. I
recieved a call from Ms. Patrick in the Collection Department of
the IRS from Jacksonville on Friday January 22nd regarding payment
of late penalty and principal due for the second quarter of 1981
as well as the third quarter.
CThe penalty for December 1980 totals $050.72, the penalty
for the first quarter of 1981 totals $788.00 and the principal amount
due for the secondquarter ending June 30th, 1981 totals $3,658.28 for
a sub total of $5,297.00. There is also a balance due for'the third
quarter which has yet to be determined because the report has yet to
be filed. The fourth quarter has been paid in full.

Ms. Patrick informed me that if the penalties and the
' balance due for the second quarter is not paid in full by Febuary
!lst, IRS lien proceedings will be instituted against the organi-
zation. The amount due for the third quarter will still be pending
until we file our tax report to determine the amount owed along
with penalty.
Because the reimbursment package of $5,500.00 which we
will recieve this week will not be sufficient I suggest that we
request an advance from the City if possible to cover the out-
standing balance. In the future•I also suggest that deposits be
made each pay period to avoid this problem in the future.

Dear Mr. Freeman:
As of February 1st, 1982 I assumed the position of
Executive Director and in reviewing the records I found no form
of lease agreement as required by our contract with the City of
Miami. After consulting with our Attorney it was determined that
the letter dated December 15th, 1980 is too ambiguous to con-
stitute a formal lease. In addition I also understand that Mr.
Louis R. Sample is the owner of record and as such all futdre
payments should be made directly to him unless given written in-
structions to the contrary.
Until such time that a formal lease agreement is
executed no further payments will be made to you as leasor. Also
I'm requesting that a lease agreement be negotiated between Mr,.
Sample and the Corporation within thirty days (30). If no
action is taken on this matter T shall assume that we are tenants
on a month to month rental and reserve the right to vacate at our
discretion.
Yours Sincerely,

OUR ,+EFEAENCE
Dear Dr. Sanders:
As per the request of Mr. Fredrick Stewart and Woodard Vaught,
I am writing this letter.
It has come to my attention that certain members of the Board of
Directors of the Edison -Buena Vista, Inc. held a meeting on Wednesday,
March 10, 1982. The purpose of that meeting was to voluntarily dis-
solve Edison -Buena Vista, Inc. In attendance at the meeting were three
(3) of the remaining seven (?) Board Members. Based on these facts and
others to be enumerated herein, it is my opinion that the action taken
by the Board that evening were ineffective:
(a) The corporation has been involuntarily dissolved by the
Secretary of State, effective December 16, 1981 for
failure to file an Annual Report.
(b) There was not a quorum present to constitute an official
meeting of the Board of Directors. The By -Laws require a
majority and one (1) member of the Board of Directors to
be present to constitute a quorum.
Based on the fact that there are currently seven (7) Board
Members, at least five (5) individuals should have been
present in order for an official resolution declaring a
voluntary dissolution to be effective.
`J
U
de 2 - March 15, 1982
vr. George Sanders
Edison -Buena Vista, Inc.
It should be emphasized that business operations carried out by
Edison -Buena Vista, Inc. since December 16, 1981 have not been taken
UN• a legally constituted corporation. As a consequence there is a
strong possibility that any liabilities or debts incurred since the
involuntary dissolution may have to be personally absorbed by the
�i,ui% L"L,.►i Board Members and Officers, and not by the corporate entity.
It is my recommendation that the Board convene immediately to
re-evaluate their decision in light of the foregoing. Specifically,
the Board should consider the filing of an Applifaction for Reinstate-
ment of Corporation Status with the Secretary of State. Such an
application and approval thereto will put Edison -Buena Vista, Inc.
in a position to operate once again as a legally constituted body.
I trust that the foregoing sheds some light on the dilemma now
facing such a vital and worthwhile organization.
If I could be of further assistance, please so advise.

We represent the Edison Buena Vista Local Development Corporation, Inc.
which is a public non-profit corporation which has been organized to
provide community services for minorities. It is funded by public funds
from the Federal Government and the City of Miami.
Due to certain internal problems of management, the previous administrator
has been terminated and, upon audit, we have discovered the following
funds due for the first quarter of 1981, the last half of 1980 plus
penalties and interest on the third quarter of 1981.-
We are advising at this time that there are no funds available to meet
these obligations and we will request appropriations by the City of Miami
for funds to meet the principal, however, under Federal Regulations, the
penalties and interest will not be funded by the grantors. We therefore
ask your co-operation in this matter, since this is a public -interest, non-
profit organization, to waive the penalties and interest on the above
matter and to permit us to apply for funds to meet the principal sums due.
The extenuating circumstances are that the previous administrator, although
terminated by the organization, is also alleged to be guilty of misfeasance
and malfeasance in office.
Your co-operation in this matter will be greatly appreciated. If there is
any further information you require, please contact this office.

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE NARRATIVE
The concensus of several economic development concerns, in-
cluding government and private industry, is that many minority
entrepreneurs within the Florida Economic Development Corpora-
tion target area require technical assistance of various types
within a number of categories.
By actively being a provider of such services, minority
entrepreneurs have an opportunity to upgrade their services
which also encourages positive growth and increased stability.
The Florida Economic Development Corporation seeks to meet
several objectives including those that follow as an active
provider of such services to businesses within its target area:
To identify public and private
sources of venture and seed
capital and assist in access to
these channels.
To help businesses obtain loans for
expansion. Working capital and re-
habilitation -
To assist businesses in the pro-
curement process as it relates to
preparation and research (in-
cluding estimation) of bids.
To assist in the preparation of
loan packages.
To provide in-depth assistance in
other technical areas, such as
y marketing and advertising; space
planning and design; accounting,
budgeting and financing; personnel
administration and management; etc.
In addition, the Florida Economic Development Corporation
will work very cooperatively with a number of other such
entities so as not to duplicate services and efforts, and to
justly increase communications network flow%
