So, if anyone wants to comment, you can come forward, please. Andres Althabe: Yes, on the traffic circle in Edgewater, that the CRA is going to approve the funding -- Chair Covo: So, Item 4. Mr. Althabe: Okay. Chair Covo: Resolution 4. Mr. Althabe: I will speak about that very briefly. Even when it was not a brief process, it took an advocacy of seven years to finally get the funding in 2019, September 2019. So, I want to give thanks to the new chairman of the CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency) -- chairwoman of the CRA, Commissioner Covo, for finally get this moving. This was a long process. It -- the money was approved in 2019, like I said, with Chairman Russell, and unfortunately, it sat for three years in a drawer of Capital Improvements. So, I want to remind you that, Commissioner, so it wouldn't happen again because this is absolutely something that people in Edgewater are waiting for. Thank you. Board Member King: Thank you. Chair Covo: Thank you. Anyone else who would like to comment on any of the items? Alberto Ancidei: Hi, just a brief comment, feedback more than anything else -- Chair Covo: Your name and last name? OMNI Community Redevelopment Agency Page 1 Printed on 2/2/2024 OMNI Community Redevelopment Agency Meeting Minutes October 12, 2023 Mr. Ancidei: Alberto Ancidei, I've been living in -- for 20 years, at the Grand, and my balcony face the park. So, I've seen everything that has happened there for a long time. So, just a feedback, also based on my work experience, there has to be rules in the park, you know. I appreciate everything you're going to do and everything that you -- you've done. There has to be new rules and they need to be enforceable. Back in 2001, I believe, there was no park and then the park was put in place and then nothing happened for another 20 years. So, now with the -- actually, in 2000 -- I think as Mr. Althabe mention, in 2018, we had -- it looked like something was going to happen and then it didn't happen. So, I really appreciate the fact that you, Ms. Covo, Commissioner Covo, you're trying to push stuff forward and everybody else that has been involved, but please keep in mind that it's useless to create a rule for a (UNINTELLIGIBLE) if they are not enforceable, and in 2018 this (UNINTELLIGIBLE) come up with park authority. They were saying, you know, yeah, we have all these signs. A few signs, actually, but then we can't do anything if people do not abide to it. And at the same time you can't ask the police, really, to be at the park all the time. So, this is very important, otherwise we're going to have a beautiful park with people that are going to fight with each other all the time. On the circle, and I'll let you go -- Chair Covo: Thankyou. Mr. Ancidei: -- it's very important. I know this -- if you come from 17, from Publix, essentially, I mean you know the area, you turn the corner and you are already on the crossing -- on pedestrian crossing. So, if you are a tourist or you're at night where there's not lighting, you're going to kill somebody. Chair Covo: Yes. That's true. Mr. Ancidei: This is an accident waiting to happen. Chair Covo: That's very unfortunate that it has not been mitigated. Mr. Ancidei: So -- Chair Covo: But thank you, I really appreciate the feedback and it's important that we have it. Mr. Ancidei: Thank you for the time. Chair Covo: And anyone -- thank you. Thanks for taking the time to come. Good evening. Raul Perez: Good afternoon, Madam Chair and Honorable Commissioners. My name is Raul Perez. I'm the chief facilities design and construction officer for Miami -Dade County Public Schools and on behalf of Superintendent of Schools, Jose L. Dotres and myself I want to express our support for the item regarding the memorandum of understanding. We look forward to collaborating and engaging with the Omni CRA and bringing back forth a memorandum that we -- that all parties can be proud of So, with that said, again, I want to, just on behalf of the superintendent and myself, bring full support on the agenda item.

Chair Covo: Thank you. [Later...) Chair Covo: Well, if we don't, I just wanted to tell you, Vice Chair, Commissioners, Madam Chair, that we're going to have priorities with the Omni CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency).

We are going to be working hard in partnerships for workforce housing and affordable housing. We're going to try and become more environmentally resilient, and we're going to give priority to the community, and I am not sure if you have any questions regarding these items. Vice Chair Carollo: The only question that I have -- Vice Chair Carollo: Yeah. Chair Covo: Thank you, Todd. (COMMENTS MADE OFF RECORD) OMNI Community Redevelopment Agency Page 5 Printed on 2/2/2024 OMNI Community Redevelopment Agency Meeting Minutes October 12, 2023 Vice Chair Carollo: The only question that -- Chair Covo: Oh, you wanted to speak? Yes, of course, sorry. Joe Gilberti: I'm sorry, I just -- Chair Covo: Come forward, please. Mr. Gilberti: Hi, my name is Joe Gilberti. I'm a professional engineer, graduated from the University of Florida. I'm a native to Miami. 1 actually live in Fort Myers Beach right now. 1 handed Ms. Christine King a packet from the U.S. Congressman, Byron Donalds. We have a unique water resource, an underground river. We're running a transmission down 75, on the Westcoast of town, an old railroad track, and Biscayne aquifer has these unique readings too, deep below. So, primary water, it's alkaline spring water. Treated water is based on cancer rates. When you take a shower, you soak in a liter of water. So, if you take a look at my thing, I can bring consultants in. My offer today is I'm going to give 30 days. I have cards there. This card here says, "Gilberti Vs. Pentagon." It's docketed at the U.S. Supreme Court, because this is a medicine changer, and I've been subdued for about 10 years by the government. So, I'm going to give a reservation to the City of Miami. I think you guys are probably 20 mega gallons a day, roughly, and free water bill offers for the schools, the teachers, and the cops, and Liberty City resident -- residential only, only 6,000 gallons a day, because we're going to come in. If I give you a reservation, we can take down the revenue bonds and hold the service fees with WASA (Water and Sewer Authority), who knew about it because I presented to Dade County, with Commissioner Sosa, 10 years ago, and I started getting subdued by the government because we found out these access points are everywhere. I just left Eric Adams' office, a very volcano (UNINTELLIGIBLE) -- Chair Covo: Thank you. Mr. Gilberti: So, take a look -- Chair Covo: Thank you. Please bring the presentation to me as well. Mr. Gilberti: You don't have to spend any money. Chair Covo: Thank von. Mr. Gilberti: Okay, thank you. Chair Covo: I really appreciate it. Commissioner Reyes, do you have a question? Board Member Reyes: No, no, I don't have a question. I -- one thing that I -- well, I have a comment. I heard you when I -- you are -- your priorities about affordable housing, workforce housing, and make sure that it is real workforce housing. Make sure that it is real workforce housing. Don't let yourself be played by the -- the use of the AMI (Area Median Income), the way that has been played before, that brings it up to 120, 140. That is not affordable because if you can -- if you are charging over $2,000 a month, that's not affordable. Chair Covo: Agree. Board Member Reyes: That's not workforce. I mean, what's the median salary in the City of Miami and in that area. So, I just wanted to -- I ask you to be very much aware on -- when you are again, starting a partnership with the developer, the school system or whatever, that we are building real affordable, real workforce housing. OMNI Community Redevelopment Agency Page 6 Printed on 2/2/2024 OMNI Community Redevelopment Agency Meeting Minutes October 12, 2023 Chair Covo: 1 agree, Commissioner Reyes. Board Member Reyes: That's my only comment. Chair Covo: It's going to be a top priority because we know that we have inflation and it's not going down and people really can't afford to live within our city anymore. Board Member Reyes: That's right. Chair Covo: So, that's going to be really important as well. Okay -- Board Member King: I make a motion to -- Board Member Reyes: I have -- I'm going to be on top of it and I'm going to let you know. I mean, this has been my fight since the first day that I took office. Chair Covo: Perfect, so awesome. Board Member Reyes: We want -- if we're going to build -- if we want to build affordable housing, it has to be affordable, real affordable. Chair Covo: I totally agree, Commissioner Reyes. Then is it a motion -- Board Member King: Motion. Vice Chair Carollo: It's a motion. It's a motion, butt have a slight question in 3. Chair Covo: Yes. Vice Chair Carollo: What are the limits on the grant that we're going to have? Up to how much? Chair Covo: It's one million for the creation of the -- Vice Chair Carollo: Right, one million, but each grant is going to be up to what amount is the top amount? Chair Covo: No, I think the grant is completely -- do I have Anthony? Can I bring Anthony up, please, Balzebre. Oh, perfect, thank you. Thanks so much. So we can clarify that, Commissioner Carollo. Isiaa Jones (Interim Executive Director): Commissioner, we have different levels of the program that's available. We have some that's geared towards the smaller -- George Wysong (Deputy City Attorney): Name and address for the record. Ms. Jones: I'm sorry, my name is Isiaa Jones, now interim director for the Omni CRA. So, thank you for the opportunity but we'll have different levels of the program. We'll have some geared towards smaller businesses. I believe that amount is up to $25,000, $50,000, for those projects that are bigger and more impactful where they're doing capital improvements to the actual, you know, brick -and -mortar type construction, those will be up to $200, 000. Vice Chair Carollo: Okay. Ms. Jones: They'll also have to provide a percentage match -- OMNI Community Redevelopment Agency Page 7 Printed on 2/2/2024 OMNI Community Redevelopment Agency Meeting Minutes October 12, 2023 Vice Chair Carollo: Okay. Ms. Jones: -- so, we have different levels. Vice Chair Carollo: Just wanted to know. Chair Covo: Thank you. Vice Chair Carollo: That's fine. We can move. Chair Covo: Thanks so much. Ms. Jones: Thank you. Chair Covo: Okay, so do I have a motion? Board Member King: You have a motion and a second. Vice Chair Carollo: Motion. Chair Covo: All in favor? The Board Members (Collectively): Aye. 2.
