Direction by Chairman Gonzalez to the City Manager to find the necessary funding for the
Tacolcy Economic Development Corporation for the refinancing of Edison Towers.
A motion was made by Commissioner Spence -Jones, seconded by Commissioner
Regalado, and was passed unanimously, with Vice Chairman Sanchez voting no, to
approve, with conditions, the Housing and Commercial Loan Committee's approval of $1.1
million to Tacolcy Economic Development Corporation.
Chairman Gonzalez: All right. D5.2.
Commissioner Spence -Jones: Yes, Mr. Chairman. I guess I'm going to go ahead and just
address the issue now, and if there's any further clarity that we need on the item, then, you
know, we can bring it back, but I do want to address it because I do have some of my
seniors here, and I don't want to have them, you know, waiting all night, so if there's any
way, Mr. Chairman, that I could at least address what the concern is --
Chairman Gonzalez: Go ahead.
Commissioner Spence -Jones: As you know, almost a year ago, this Commission approved
about 1.1 to support the Edison Towers complex, which is located in Liberty City. It was
also then, once again, approved by the Loan Committee, with conditions. One of the things
that was really important to me -- one -- before I got elected and once I got elected was the
promise that I made to many of the elderly and low-income individuals that actually lived in
Edison Towers. Through Commissioner Barbara Carey-Shuler, there was dollars set aside
to approve about $750,000 that went to the rehab of Edison Towers, but in the midst of that
happening was very clear -- or she made it very clear to me that the dollars that the County
would put towards the rehab, that she was expecting or the County was expecting for the
City to at least assist with the issue that they were having regarding their loan. I know that
we have not put a process in place altogether regarding how the Affordable Housing Trust
dollars are going to work. As a matter of fact, I know that Ms. Rodriguez has been working
City ofMiami Page 14 Printed on 11/15/2006
City Commission
Marked Agenda November 9, 2006
very hard, along with her team, to put that in place. The only reason why I would have this
item on my blue pages is because it is an emergency and it is an important issue that
needs to be addressed. I've been working on this issue for the last year or so while sitting
in this seat, and I just don't want the residents to be strung out any longer than what they
have been. If the dollars had not been approved by, one, the Commission first, and then
approved by the Loan Committee, I would not even come in front of the Commission asking
for this request. Many of the units -- it's about 40 units -- would come available if we made
the dollars available to assist with this matter, which we already know, not just in my
district, but throughout the whole city, we're having a serious housing issue already, so
here's additional 40 units that are out of commission that can be made and will be made
available for those tenants at Edison Towers. Now I do understand staffs position, and I
truly support making sure that if this Commission decides to support, you know, making
sure the resources are available, that they are -- the same conditions that the Loan
Committee put in place are also put in place for these dollars that are going to be attached
to us giving -- if that is the case. I'm saying to my colleagues, I need your support. The 1.1
that you already approved and that the Loan Committee has already approved, take it back,
you know. Allow for it to be used towards another district. I'm fine with that. All I ever
wanted to do is make sure that I took care of the people that have lived in Edison Towers
for as many years as they have, and that was the whole purpose of it. It had nothing else to
do with just making sure that those families were taken care of, so I'm asking the
Commission -- I do know that there's some questions that -- and some current concerns
that may need to be addressed, and I'd like to at least be able to put it out, Mr. Chairman, so
that we can begin to address it. I do have the president of Tacolcy Economic Development
Corporation here to answer any questions, but I'd like for Barbara to at least step to the
mike also.
Barbara Gomez -Rodriguez (Director, Community Development): You want for them to
speak first?
Chairman Gonzalez: Well, let me -- for the sake of --
Vice Chairman Sanchez: Time.
Chairman Gonzalez: -- saving time, if there are any questions, I guess the question will be
from Community Development, not from the people that runs the tower or -- and if you went
through the process -- I mean, the -- let me tell you. I personally -- I don't have a problem
with rehabbing the building. I don't have a problem with allocating funds to the building or
to the project because all of us here have been striving and fighting to produce and
maintain affordable housing in this city because we all know how much needed it is. The
problem is I, personally, was briefed this morning by the Manager, a two -minute or a
five-minute briefing on allocation of over $1 million, OK? I'm ready to support it, and the
reason that I'm ready to support it is because the Manager explained to me that this already
went through the process of the Loan Committee, and it went through the process of the
application through HUD (Department of Housing and Urban Development), and through
the entire sequence of process that it has to go, but you know, whenever we're going to do
-- back two years ago, three years ago, this Commission decided that we wouldn't bring any
items as a pocket item or blue pages allocating money, and you know, especially when
you're talking about more than $1 million. Another concern that I have with the little
experience that I have in rehab is that $700,000 will never, will never rehab 40 units. I can
tell you that right now. You can figure that you're going to need more -- between 35,000
and $40,000 per unit, so you're talking $1.6 million in rehab. That's not counting that you
have to do a new roof on that -- in that building because then you're going to go to the
range of the $2 million. Now will they have all the money to rehab the building? Do they
have the funding to secure the rehab of the building? I don't know. I'm willing to support
you on this, but let me tell you, you know, you have heard me say in many times, you know,
when the Administration comes here with an item that I haven't been brief on --
Commissioner Spence -Jones: Yeah.
Chairman Gonzalez: -- especially when it is allocating those amount of monies, you know, I
get concerned. I get concerned.

City Commission
Marked Agenda November 9, 2006
Commissioner Spence -Jones: Can I just add, Mr. Chairman --
Chairman Gonzalez: Yeah.
Commissioner Spence -Jones: -- and I do respect your leadership on this whole issue, and
I will make sure, as we go forth, that I will not bring any items that have a fiscal impact
regarding this without you being thoroughly briefed. The only reason why I even put this
on my blue pages -- and the Manager can tell you -- is that we've been waiting for a minute
to have this actually on the agenda, but because of the budgets, because of the
(UNINTELLIGIBLE) issue that Barbara was trying to work through, it just did not happen,
and I -- honestly, I live in that neighborhood. I live down the street from Edison Towers,
and to run into my seniors every single time and they're asking me, "Well, what's going on?
What's going on?" The elevators are not working in the building, so some of them have to,
you know, walk up 12 flights of floors, and I just -- I think that we need to do whatever it
takes to make sure that they're not put in that position. The -- to my understanding,
Tacolcy has already began working on putting things in place to draw down the monies
from the County. They've already began the bid process regarding the rehab part of it, and
I do respect that Barbara -- excuse me, Ms. Rodriguez wants to make sure that she views
whatever documents, from a rehab standpoint, to make sure that the promises that we do
make to the residents happen, you know, so -- and I want to make sure that that's -- there's
a commitment from the organization to see that that happens.
Commissioner Haskins: Commissioner Spence -Jones.
Carol Gardner: If I can --
Chairman Gonzalez: OK.
Ms. Gardner: -- address --
Commissioner Haskins: I'd like to ask a question. I'm -- this started out at a $1.1 million
request to refinance the HUD loan. Why is it now 1.4 million?
Ms. Gardner: Actually --
Commissioner Haskins: How did it get three hundred thou -- how did that HUD loan get to
be --
Ms. Gardner: When we initially --
Commissioner Haskins: -- $300,000 more?
Priscilla A. Thompson (City Clerk): Excuse me.
Ms. Gardner: When we initial --
Ms. Thompson: Excuse --
Commissioner Spence -Jones: You got to say your name.
Chairman Gonzalez: We need your name and your address.
Ms. Gardner: Oh, I'm sorry. My name is Carol Gardner. I'm with Tacolcy Economic
Development Corporation. My address is 675 Northwest 56th Street, Building C.
Commissioner Haskins: OK.
Ms. Gardner: Sorry about that. The -- when we brought this item initially to CD (Community
Development), we had a cost of 1.1 million. Now when we brought it to them, it was in
technical default. We had been working with our current lenders -- it's not a HUD lender.
It's actually two joint venture -- two joint lenders, Equitable and the Ford Foundation. We
were in technical default at that time. We negotiated with them a buy down of the loan.
City ofMiami Page 16 Printed on 11/15/2006
City Commission
Marked Agenda November 9, 2006
The loan is actually higher than that, but what they did was give us 50 cents on a dollar,
and they said the consequences for that is we charge you 50 cents a day every -- I mean,
not 50 cents, $50 a day everyday after a certain period. Well, that's what incurred that cost,
and we can't argue with them or go back to them. They have been more than reasonable
with us. They have been waiting a very long time to get their -- get this -- these funds paid.
They have gone beyond what any banking institution would do, and we appreciate that
from them, and that is why we haven't -- and from the time we had this approved from the
Loan Committee, it has actually been about almost nine months, so that cost kept ticking
as it went (UNINTELLIGIBLE).
Commissioner Haskins: But at $50 a day, does that come to $300,000 difference?
Ms. Gardner: Well, $50 a day plus interest.
Commissioner Haskins: Plus interest.
Ms. Gardner: Yes, plus interest, so yeah --
Commissioner Haskins: OK.
Ms. Gardner: -- it has -- actually, what it evolves up to be is about $280,000.
Commissioner Haskins: So this is just -- what we're doing here is we're not putting a dollar
into rehab with our -- with the City's money. What we're doing is we're refinancing the
loans that you have --
Ms. Gardner: Right.
Commissioner Haskins: -- and in exchange, we have a loan that you're going to pay back
to us.
Ms. Gardner: Right, in first --
Commissioner Haskins: OK.
Ms. Gardner: -- position, and now I just wanted to make a quick comment on the rehab.
This is not a extensive rehab. There are certain things that are happening in the building
that is causing those units to go down, and the units that are actually down is because they
have some minor issues that we can't rent them, meaning every time it rains in South
Florida -- and it does it often -- that unit gets wet, so every time that tenant is in there, we
have water going in.
Commissioner Haskins: Well, you're doing a roof replacement?
Chairman Gonzalez: That is --
Ms. Gardner: No. Roof is not our issue. We've gotten the roof replaced two years ago, so
the roof is not the issue. What the problem is is that on the outside of the building, over
the years, there has been cracks. We have gotten the cost estimate on it, and we've gotten
three cost estimates. We have Gonzalez Painting ready to go to do it, and it -- everything
falls with -- even replacing the elevators fall within our budget and the rehab of the units.
Commissioner Haskins: And the 750,000 from the County can only be used for hard
construction costs, is that correct?
Ms. Gardner: Can be struction [sic] -- no, not for hard construction costs, for any rehab.
Commissioner Haskins: Hard rehab costs --
Ms. Gardner: Right.
Commissioner Haskins: -- hard costs. No soft costs, no --

Ms. Gardner: No.
Commissioner Spence -Jones: Meaning no administration dollars.
Ms. Gardner: There's no developer fees. No administration --
Commissioner Haskins: No nothing.
Ms. Gardner: -- fee, no overhead, no nothing.
Commissioner Haskins: OK. Alrighty, great.
Ms. Gardner: This is straight costs for doing --
Chairman Gonzalez: All right.
Ms. Gardner: -- the work, dollar for dollar.
Chairman Gonzalez: All right. Commissioner -- Vice Chairman Sanchez.
Vice Chairman Sanchez: I have a question. Why weren't -- we be able to use the HUD
funds?
Ms. Gardner: The HOME (Home Investment Partnership Program) funds -- we weren't able
to use the HOME funds. We found out when we sent information to HUD that in order to
use the HOME funds for refinancing, that 50 percent or more of those funds must go
towards rehab. Well, we were awarded 1.1 million, and we needed the whole 1.1 million to
go towards the refinancing. They would not consider the rehab funds that we received
from the County.
Vice Chairman Sanchez: So you couldn't comply with those restrictions?
Ms. Gardner: I'm sorry.
Vice Chairman Sanchez: You couldn't comply with those restrictions?
Ms. Gardner: Right. Their refinancing dollars -- if we took 50 percent of the 1.1 --
Vice Chairman Sanchez: (UNINTELLIGIBLE).
Ms. Gardner: -- then we wouldn't have enough to pay the lenders. That would be the
problem.
Vice Chairman Sanchez: I understand that part.
Ms. Gardner: OK.
Vice Chairman Sanchez: Barbara, maybe you could come up --
Chairman Gonzalez: All right.
Vice Chairman Sanchez: -- and shine some light on this.
Ms. Gomez -Rodriguez: Barbara Gomez -Rodriguez, Department of Community
Development. First (UNINTELLIGIBLE) were a couple of issues. One, HUD dollars could be
used for rehabbing and for refinancing. The problem is that when you do refinancing, for
every dollar you use for refinances, you have to put two dollars in rehab. Commissioner
Gonzalez, it's not forty -some units. It's 121 units.
Chairman Gonzalez: They all need rehab?
City ofMiami Page 18 Printed on 11/15/2006
City Commission
Marked Agenda November 9, 2006
Ms. Gomez -Rodriguez: The whole building has 121 --
Commissioner Spence -Jones: Twenty-one.
Ms. Gomez -Rodriguez: -- units. Forty-six units were going to be assisted with our dollars.
That's basically when it was HUD. I'm very -- you know, the City have been very committed
to this project from day one, and the only thing that I can recommend is that, regardless of
the funding source we use -- and definitely, they were not able to get the match, so that's
why they're seeking the Affordable Housing Trust dollars -- that we make a commitment --
that Tacolcy makes a commitment that all of the guidelines that the Housing and Loan
Committee impose on them, they stay because it is very important to us that if we're going
to refinance a building where we're going to be the lenders, and we're going to be in first
position, that the building be totally rehabbed to make sure that these apartment do pass
housing quality standards --
Vice Chairman Sanchez: They have to.
Ms. Gomez -Rodriguez: -- number one, and number two, that we just don't rehab certain
things in the building; that we take an approach that the building be rehabbed completely.
The other thing that the Loan Committee did express is we want to see an engineering
report, and that is something that we need. We want to make sure that everything that the
engineering report says that it's needed, we do it; that there is a certification from the
County and the City that their -- that the building code is not going to kick in, so these are
the type of things that, regardless of the funding source, we want to make sure they stay.
We also want to be part of the rehab. Even though that we will not be funding rehab, we
want to make sure that we approve the work that is going to be done, and that we approve
when it's completed, so those are the type of things that I would recommend that we
impose, regardless of the funding source that we're considering; that these conditions
stay. Tacolcy -- Edison Tower [sic] is one of the projects that was going to be discussed at
the Loan Committee next Friday, which I do recommend that they should address the Loan
Committee with all of the questions that they had for the project, but in reference to the
Affordable Housing Trust, I don't think that we are opposed to it.
Vice Chairman Sanchez: All right.
Chairman Gonzalez: Vice Chairman Sanchez.
Commissioner Spence -Jones: Thank you, Barbara.
Vice Chairman Sanchez: Before I turn it over to Commissioner Spence -Jones, let me just
state what the Chairman has stated. This item should have never been on a blue page,
period. This item should have been on the regular agenda, giving everyone an ample
opportunity to have a better understanding and have the public participate in it because it's
a sensitive and humane issue when it comes to housing, but let me tell you, with the
scandals that we've had with housing, you know, we, as government, need to be more
prudent with how we address the issues, and we do have to follow rules and regulations,
and I think the concern that we have, as legislators, based on the advice that's given to us
by the department, who just stated those concerns on the record, I think we need to be very
careful on it and follow those. Now the recommendation that has been made, that has
been put on the floor, let me just put an advice out and just put something on the table. We
should have this item come back on the regular agenda with the conditions that have been
put on by the executive director, and then the legislative body should hear the item and
move forward with the recommendation either to approve or deny, but we need to have a
process in place, and I'm very concerned that I don't think that we -- this is not in best
practices, so that's the concern that I have.
Ms. Gomez -Rodriguez: Commissioner, would you entertain having it heard by the Loan
Committee next Friday, and let them rule as to the funding, the amount, and the
conditions?
Chairman Gonzalez: Let me tell you --
City ofMiami Page 19 Printed on 11/15/2006
City Commission
Marked Agenda November 9, 2006
Vice Chairman Sanchez: Look --
Chairman Gonzalez: -- what I would like.
Ms. Gardner: OK.
Chairman Gonzalez: I don't know how my colleagues will -- going to take this, but what I
would like to do is to instruct the Manager to find the funding for the project for the
financing, or refinancing, or whatever you want to call it, and then after this -- I understand
this already went through the -- to the --
Ms. Gomez -Rodriguez: It did --
Commissioner Spence -Jones: It's already --
Chairman Gonzalez: -- Loan Committee, right?
Commissioner Spence -Jones: -- it's gone through the --
Ms. Gomez -Rodriguez: -- and it was approved on March 31 --
Chairman Gonzalez: So why --
Ms. Gomez -Rodriguez: -- 2006.
Chairman Gonzalez: -- does it have to go back to the Loan Committee?
Ms. Gomez -Rodriguez: Because we need to change funding source, because the funding
that was approved by the Loan Committee was HOME, and the HOME, they weren't able to
get the match that is required for HOME --
Commissioner Spence -Jones: But --
Commissioner Haskins: Can we --?
Ms. Gomez -Rodriguez: -- so what we will be doing is bringing back --
Chairman Gonzalez: How big --
Ms. Gomez -Rodriguez: -- the one --
Commissioner Spence -Jones: But if we're going to use another --
Chairman Gonzalez: -- of an emergency is this? I mean --
Commissioner Spence -Jones: It's a big emergency.
Chairman Gonzalez: -- is the building going to be foreclosed next week or next month?
Commissioner Spence -Jones: Mr. Chairman, I have -- and I respect the fact that we have
not -- this item is coming this way and it -- and I respect Sanchez -- Commissioner
Sanchez's opinion and your viewpoint of this not being placed on a blue page. The only
reason why I placed this on a blue page is because I've been working, over the last nine to
ten months, to have this addressed, and I really put this on the blue page out of
desperation today.
Commissioner Haskins: Can I make a suggestion that might --
Commissioner Spence -Jones: That's why it's on there.
Commissioner Haskins: -- satisfy everyone? I really think -- I mean, this is an emergency.
City ofMiami Page 20 Printed on 11/15/2006

Marked Agenda November 9, 2006
Ms. Gardner: It is.
Commissioner Haskins: We have our residents here. We know this project. It's gone
through the Loan Committee; it was approved. We've already said we have difficulties
doing this, OK. Can we -- I make a suggestion that we bring it back this afternoon with all
the conditions that were imposed by the Loan Committee, so that we can look at those and
vote on it with those conditions so everybody is informed because I'm ready -- I think the
Loan Committee's suggestions very reasonable. I really do, and I think we should be able
to live with those, and it provides protection to the people that we're trying to help here,
OK?
Commissioner Spence -Jones: And I'm fine with --
Chairman Gonzalez: But I --
Commissioner Spence -Jones: -- us using those terms.
Commissioner Haskins: So if we could bring it -- I'm just trying to come up with a
compromise, that's it. OK. I'm just trying to come up with a compromise that we bring it
back this afternoon with the conditions so that the Commissioners have a chance to see it,
and if we could get it to the Commissioners for the lunch break, that would be great, and
that we go ahead and move on it this afternoon on that basis. If, after we've seen the
conditions, we're not happy -- and what I want to make sure in the conditions that one of
the conditions is we try whatever we can to reduce the -- these penalties and interest, the
$300,000 additional penalty interest. I would like to add that as a condition. I understand --
I mean, everybody understands this is something that should be on a regular agenda,
subject to public hearing. We all have concerns about allocation from the Affordable
Housing Trust Fund dollars without a policy, but maybe if we go that way, we can strike a
compromise and get this thing moving. Not saying that for certain it'll be voted on, but let's
look at the conditions and add that on on the additional 300,000 and see what we can do.
Chairman Gonzalez: All right, but let me tell you what my point is. I mean, I don't see why -
- and I don't think it's fair. Honestly, I don't think it's fair. If they already went through the
Loan Committee and they were approved, why should they have to go back to the Loan
Committee once again to get approved for the second time? That is unfair. I mean, is that
done to anybody else?
Ms. Gardner: That's --
Chairman Gonzalez: Is that done to everybody else?
Ms. Gomez -Rodriguez: We do it for everybody --
Chairman Gonzalez: You know, and let me tell you what my position is.
Ms. Gomez -Rodriguez: -- that changes funding source.
Chairman Gonzalez: Let me tell you what my position is, OK? And I'm going to tell you
exactly what my position is. I don't want the City of Miami doing to these people what the
County does to my people in Allapattah, OK? The County -- and I hope the Commissioners
at the County are watching this meeting. The County Manager and the County Mayor and --
they have an agenda against my CBO (Community Based Organization) in my community
that all he has done in the last 28 years is produce housing and build housing for the poor
people, OK? and I don't want the City of Miami doing that to any of our residents in the City
of Miami. We are not -- we -- I don't -- we're not going to go back to the past of the City of
Miami where we have personal vendettas, which is happening in the County right now
because they're acting on personal vendettas and hidden agendas and personal agendas
against some people in this County, and that is happening with Allapattah Business
Development in the County by Mr. Roger Carlton, by Mrs. Cynthia Curry, and by some
people in the County, and I hope, once again, I hope, once again, that they hear this
meeting, that they be watching this meeting, and if they have a problem with what I'm
saying, they're free to call me, and I will be available to them any time, any day, any year. It

is not fair. If they have already gone through the Loan Committee, they should be given the
money to rehab the building. Now going through the Affordable Housing Trust Fund --
Ms. Gomez -Rodriguez: That's the problem.
Chairman Gonzalez: -- there I have a problem, if we don't have a process because we're
going to open the door for anybody else to come in and ask for that money, and if we say
yes to one group, we're going to have to say yes to everybody else. What I suggest is that
we identify -- Mr. Manager, you identify the funding, and then let them go through the
process of whatever, of accepting the conditions, and I don't know if the Commissioner is
willing to accept the conditions.
Unidentified Speaker: Yes, yes.
Ms. Gardner: The conditions that the housing committee had already put on the line, we're
not in rejection to those. We have those documented conditions.
Chairman Gonzalez: OK --
Ms. Gardner: We just don't want anything added --
Chairman Gonzalez: -- so --
Ms. Gardner: -- that will prolong this situation. Those conditions, we already satisfied.
We've already gotten engineering reports. We paid $15,000 in March -- in April to have the
engineering report, to have the City's Building Department and Zoning Department meet
with our engineers, certify everything, so the cost are there. The cost may have changed
from March to now, but we have the same bids, and those bid -- those contractors are
going to --
Chairman Gonzalez: Let me tell you --
Ms. Gardner: -- use those same bids, so we've met them.
Chairman Gonzalez: I hate being discriminated, and we talk in this County and in this City
we talk a lot about discrimination, OK, but we only use the discrimination word when we
talk about African Americans, and believe it or not, there is still discrimination in this
County against the Hispanics and against the Cubans, even though we're a majority in this
County. Even though we produce the amount of dollars that we produce to support this
County and to support this City, we are being discriminated, and the people in Allapattah
are being discriminated by Miami -Dade County and by the bureaucrats of Miami -Dade
County, and I'm sick and tired of it. I've been holding it on and holding it on and waiting
and waiting, but it's time to put it on the table. It's time to put it on the table, and I'm not
going to participate on submitting these people or anybody to any process that we don't
submit anybody else. That's my position, and I'm willing to support the loan, and I'm
willing to support the building and the residents.
Commissioner Regalado: Mr. Chairman.
Commissioner Spence -Jones: Mr. Chair --
Commissioner Regalado: Mr. Chairman --
Chairman Gonzalez: Yes, sir.
Commissioner Regalado: -- if I may. This item was on the agenda in the last Commission
meeting, and I read it and I asked because we were told that it was going to come back.
Everybody knows that it's an emergency, and you know, you're right, and I keep asking you,
ask our Chairman to write a white paper about housing --
Chairman Gonzalez: Right.
City ofMiami Page 22 Printed on 11/15/2006
City Commission
Marked Agenda November 9, 2006
Commissioner Regalado: -- in the City of Miami because, at the end of the day, this white
paper should reflect those things that we're saying here. There might be somebody
watching from the County -- I'm sure that they are -- but we're dismiss --
Chairman Gonzalez: But you know what, Tomas? Do you know where I'm coming from?
Commissioner Regalado: Yeah, I know. I --
Chairman Gonzalez: We are going back -- in the County now, we're going back to the 1996
and 1997 of the City of Miami --
Commissioner Regalado: Yeah.
Chairman Gonzalez: -- where there were personal agendas. They used the Police
Department. They used the State Attorney's Office. They used every power that they had,
OK, to go after people, and I was one of the victims of that system.
Commissioner Regalado: I know you were.
Chairman Gonzalez: I was a victim of that system --
Commissioner Regalado: I know you were.
Chairman Gonzalez: -- and now my people are being the victims of the new system of
Miami -Dade County --
Commissioner Regalado: And --
Chairman Gonzalez: -- and if they have problems -- because they gave money away right
and left to everyone, OK. They should have had smarter people working over there
because Allapattah Business Development never got a penny from the -- as a matter of fact,
as a matter of fact, on the 11 years that I worked for that agency, I applied for funding for
administration every single year, and my funding was denied, every single year, and the
funding that they got to build is in mortar and block, and it has been built, and there are
people living in the units, but they have a personal agenda, and they're playing games.
They're playing games once again.
Commissioner Regalado: Your problem was that you didn't have high -paying lobbyists
working for the Allapattah, but --
Ms. Gardner: And neither do we.
Chairman Gonzalez: That's correct.
Ms. Gardner: I just want to add.
Commissioner Regalado: -- here's the thing, here's the thing, and it was on the agenda the
last time, and I ask and I kept asking, and I got good briefings on this matter. We know it's
an emergency. We -- this afternoon, it probably won't be, for this Commission, enough time
to study. If we approve this with the condition that the Loan Committee, which is a
professional group of people --
Commissioner Haskins: Dependent --
Commissioner Regalado: -- next Friday --
Commissioner Haskins: -- independent of the Commission.
Commissioner Regalado: Independent of the Commission -- from now to next Friday,
approve and find the funding, and the Loan Committee finds it's OK, we should move
forward, then there's no problem. Now if the Loan Committee decides not to approve it,
then what the Commission does today here, if we decide to approve this, has to be
City ofMiami Page 23 Printed on 11/15/2006
City Commission
Marked Agenda November 9, 2006
reconsidered, but what we cannot is hold on to this paper until the next meeting in
December because it complicates, and then there's Thanksgiving and Christmas and all
that. If we were to approve this with the condition that the Loan Committee will look at all
aspect and find it that it's OK, then it's OK; it moves forward. I don't see why we cannot
just facilitate the situation for these people. I don't see why we have to wait for the Loan
Committee, then to come back to the agenda, then to be brief, and then to be discussed in
December or maybe in January because we are going to have so many things in the
agenda.
Commissioner Spence -Jones: Mr. --
Chairman Gonzalez: All right.
Ms. Gomez -Rodriguez: Commissioner --
Commissioner Regalado: So --
Pedro G. Hernandez (City Manager): Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, if I may?
Chairman Gonzalez: Yes, Mr. City Manager.
Vice Chairman Sanchez: And I want to hear from the executive director on this.
Mr. Hernandez: Mr. Chairman, if I may? The Loan Committee has already, you know, seen
this item and they placed certain conditions. I think that, with your approval, I can enforce
those conditions and add any other that you feel are necessary, without having to go back
to the Loan Committee. The Loan Committee really doesn't deal with the funding source.
That's not their jurisdiction. It's basically the transaction, so I feel confident that it doesn't
have to go back; that we can actually impose the conditions that they already placed on it,
and as far as the precedent, I agree that any future allocations of the Affordable Housing
Trust should, as part of the process, go through the Loan Committee process. This one --
Vice Chairman Sanchez: No. It should have a process.
Mr. Hernandez: -- in essence --
Commissioner Spence -Jones: Yeah.
Vice Chairman Sanchez: It should have an established process.
Mr. Hernandez: We need to have that established process that should contain going
through the Loan Committee as one of the steps, and this one already has gone through
that part of the process.
Chairman Gonzalez: All right.
Commissioner Spence -Jones: And --
Chairman Gonzalez: Yes, ma'am.
Commissioner Spence -Jones: Mr. Chairman, thank you, and all my colleagues, thank you
for your support on this item. Again, I want to truly apologize for bringing this as a blue
page item. This is one of the first items that I had on my agenda as a new Commissioner.
It was on my first agenda --
Chairman Gonzalez: I know.
Commissioner Spence -Jones: -- so I've been working very hard to address this issue back
and forth with CD and with the folks from TDC [sic]. I just want to say last that this is a
loan and it is the right thing to do, and it fulfills our purpose of the trust fund to provide
affordable housing -- the City's commitment to provide housing to all people. This is going
to allow for us to have 40 additional units, which could possibly mean 40 families would
City ofMiami Page 24 Printed on 11/15/2006
City Commission
Marked Agenda November 9, 2006
now have a place to live now in the Liberty City area. I'm asking that my fellow
Commissioners support me in addressing the affordable housing needs of Edison Towers
and to definitely make sure that we impose the conditions that the Loan Committee has
added, but I think that because they've been waiting for a very long time, I would ask the
Commissioners to please support me, and we'll make sure that we put a process in place
and we do that for the Affordable Housing Trust, but at this point, we do not need to string
them on any longer, so if I could have the support from my Commissioners --
Chairman Gonzalez: Call the question.
Vice Chairman Sanchez: Wait, wait, wait, wait. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. I need to have
Barbara come up, and what has been proffered, is it within the scope and the regulations
and the restrictions of the City --
Chairman Gonzalez: They are.
Vice Chairman Sanchez: -- and the lending institutions?
Chairman Gonzalez: They already said they area.
Ms. Gomez -Rodriguez: The understanding is that we're going to accept the Loan
Committee recommendations. We're just going to change the funding source, and the
reason that I was saying -- going back, Commissioner, we only make people go back if you
need additional dollars or if you cannot use the funding source that was approved.
Chairman Gonzalez: But --
Ms. Gomez -Rodriguez: Otherwise, you don't go back.
Chairman Gonzalez: -- in this case, they're not using --
Vice Chairman Sanchez: She has to go back.
Chairman Gonzalez: -- additional dollars. They're using the first dollars that were assigned
to them.
Vice Chairman Sanchez: But a different source.
Ms. Gomez -Rodriguez: Are you going to use --? The Loan Committee approved 1.1. My
understanding from Carol now is that they need 1.4, which is $300,000 more.
Chairman Gonzalez: Then I stand corrected.
Commissioner Spence -Jones: OK.
Chairman Gonzalez: All right. Did they ask -- answer your questions?
Vice Chairman Sanchez: We've debated this long enough. We're prepared to vote on the
issue.
Chairman Gonzalez: Right.
Vice Chairman Sanchez: This item should have never been on a blue page item.
Chairman Gonzalez: Right.
Commissioner Spence -Jones: And we already are very clear that it shouldn't have been,
and the only reason why is I've been working -- Ms. Rodri --
Chairman Gonzalez: Call the question.
Jorge L. Fernandez (City Attorney): Well, Mr. Chairman, point of clarification. You are not,
City ofMiami Page 25 Printed on 11/15/2006
City Commission
Marked Agenda November 9, 2006
in fact, approving any such loan. It's coming back to you this afternoon when all the terms
and conditions are clarified for your final ratification. All you're doing by this vote that
you're taking now is instructing the --
Chairman Gonzalez: Well --
Mr. Fernandez: -- City Manager --
Chairman Gonzalez: Time out, time out, time out. Mrs. Rodriguez has to go to the hospital
because --
Commissioner Spence -Jones: Yes.
Chairman Gonzalez: -- her mother is going under surgery, open-heart surgery, and she's
here --
Commissioner Spence -Jones: Yeah.
Chairman Gonzalez: -- OK. I don't know if she's going to be able to come back this
afternoon to ratify this or not ratify this. I mean, you know, we have to -- I mean, we're all
adults here. Everything --
Mr. Fernandez: Well --
Chairman Gonzalez: -- has been put on the record. I mean, what is the problem? The
Manager said that they have certain conditions. The lady says that they agree to the
conditions. The Commissioner agreed with the condition. Why do we have to leave and
come back to go over the same thing again?
Ms. Gardner: Right. We don't --
Ms. Gomez -Rodriguez: Can we --
Mr. Fernandez: Well --
Ms. Gomez -Rodriguez: -- just approve the conditions of the Loan Committee under the
Affordable Housing Trust --
Commissioner Haskins: And the --
Ms. Gomez -Rodriguez: -- and we will de -obligate --
Commissioner Haskins: -- condition that we try --
Ms. Gomez -Rodriguez: -- the HOME fund.
Commissioner Haskins: -- to reduce the $300,000 interest and penalties that have accrued.
Ms. Gardner: Right.
Ms. Gomez -Rodriguez: OK. Can we approve the 1.1, and we will work with Tacolcy to see -
Chairman Gonzalez: Exactly.
Ms. Gomez -Rodriguez: -- the different --
Chairman Gonzalez: Let's do that. Let's do that. All right, so what we're going to do is
we're going to approve -- we're going to vote to approve or disapprove --
Vice Chairman Sanchez: The conditions.
City ofMiami Page 26 Printed on 11/15/2006
City Commission
Marked Agenda November 9, 2006
Chairman Gonzalez: -- the $1.1 million, with the conditions, and then they will come back
for the other $300,000.
Ms. Gardner: No, no.
Chairman Gonzalez: Is that OK with you, Commissioner Jones [sic]?
Ms. Gardner: They all go together.
Commissioner Spence -Jones: But why are we breaking them up?
Ms. Gardner: Yeah.
Ms. Gomez -Rodriguez: What he was saying is that if we approve what the Loan Committee
approved -- the Loan Committee approved 1.1, so what Commissioner Gonzalez is saying,
let's approve what the Loan Committee approve, just change the funding source from
HOME to the Affordable Housing Trust. What Carol is saying that it needs to be increased
$300,000.
Commissioner Spence -Jones: OK. Carol, at this point, because the Loan Committee has
only funded the 1.4 -- 1.1, can we please move along with this item, and then come back to
work out the other details? Because I do understand why they would probably have a
issue approving something that was not originally approved by the Loan Committee.
Ms. Gardner: OK. I agree with that, but I just want to state for the record that in order to
pay off the other loan fully, that the other $300,000 will be included. We can provide you
proof of it. It's not something that we made up.
Commissioner Spence -Jones: OK.
Commissioner Haskins: But I think it helps in trying to negotiate it that --
Ms. Gardner: Yes.
Commissioner Haskins: OK --
Ms. Gardner: I do agree that we --
Commissioner Haskins: -- and let's --
Ms. Gardner: -- should -- at least allow us to come back the next time or in December or
this afternoon to talk about that 300,000 --
Commissioner Haskins: It'll --
Ms. Gardner: -- because really --
Commissioner Haskins: If you give the -- if you give your lenders a $1.1 million payment,
OK, at least for the principal, and then -- the principal -- the -- whatever your negotiated
settlement was, we have time, for the next Commission meeting, not -- we don't have to
deal with that the -- this afternoon for the 300,000 --
Ms. Gardner: OK.
Commissioner Haskins: -- every lender in the world -- I'm from banking -- will be happy to
get their $1.1 million check out of the 1.4.
Ms. Gardner: OK. We'll do that.
Mr. Hernandez: There's an opportunity to go to the Loan Committee next Friday for the
additional 300,000.
