Pieter Bockweg (Executive Director, Community Redevelopment Agency): Mr. Chairman, reso number 2 is a REP (Request for Proposals) that we put out regarding the maintenance of our streetlights on properties that we own, as well as the one on the super block by the PAC (Performing Arts Center). This contract also includes the maintenance of the streetlights in the Overtown. We wanted to take a look at the contract that was currently in place. I thought it was a little high, so we put a REP out and we found somebody who would do it for 54 percent less than it was originally -- that we had as part of a maintenance contract. Prior to -- currently, there -- we are getting charged $24.50 per light structure, light pole. This contract now will be $11.40. Chair Sarnoff All right. Is anybody -- Is there a motion?

Mr. Bockweg: Yes, sir. Commissioner Carollo: Okay, so it's a one-year contract, and should there be any additional years, then it would come back to this Board for -- Mr. Bockweg: It would have to be renewed by you. Commissioner Carollo: Thank you. Chair Sarnoff All right. This is the lowest bidder, right? Mr. Bockweg: That's correct. This is the lowest bidder. And just as a little background, Mr. Chairman. This company also does the streetlight maintenance for the County, so they're a well experienced company. Chair Sarnoff All right. Any further discussion, gentlemen? Hearing none, all in favor, then please say "aye." The Commissioners (Collectively): Aye.

CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency) item number 4 appears to be the Miami Tunnel access or access tunnel, I apologize. Pieter Bockweg (Executive Director, Community Redevelopment Agency): The item before you is a discussion item, which was deferred last month and it was brought up during our meeting two months ago regarding the job hirings of the Miami Port Tunnel, and I believe they're here to give you a presentation. Chair Sarnoff I could see Chris Hodgkins in the back. You're going to come up front, or you're going to do it from back there? Christopher Hodgkins: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, members of the committee. We have presented a presentation in a packet relative to our outreach that we have been doing and the ZIP (Zone Improvement Plan) codes of all the folks that we have been hiring here from the community in regards to all of our outreach efforts on hiring. You'll see that we have an impressive attainment of how we're reaching out making sure that this project is a mirror of our community. We know today in meeting with Commissioner Dunn's office, they want us to do more in regards to making sure that what we've been doing on -- in hiring and employment, we also do with subcontractors. We are going to take that further. We're going to be having a how to do business with the Port of Miami for small business folks, similar to what we've done with the director in the past for Operation 305, where he was our kickoff speaker. And we're going to follow through with that. We're working with -- also in association with Bill Diggs from the City of Miami Page 5 Printed on 9/8/2011 OMNI Community Redevelopment Agency Meeting Minutes April 25, 2011 Miami -Dade Chamber. We're going to be having a breakfast, and we'd like you folks to participate with that on June 1, at Jackson Soul Food, a breakfast where we're trying to bring people in and make sure that they know how to do business with us and all the commodity groups and making sure that what we're doing is the right thing. So as you can see, we have over 3,500 applicants. Of those -- of all the applicants we have, they're all from Miami -Dade, except for 7 percent, which are tunnel experts. Those are folks that we've brought in who have either built a tunnel, designed a tunnel, or have worked with our contractor in the past. So we want to continue that commitment. We look forward to your review in making sure that we do the right thing. I also know that Chairman Gort had had a concern about the Pablo Duarte Park job fair. I stopped by today with his staff, with Frank and Ralph, and gave a presentation for that where you have the breakdown of all of those that we've hired all of those that we've called, all of those refused, those who did not pass the standards that we have. And I know there was one situation where a person applied for a job at that job fair. I brought her resume along because what happened was they didn't have their phone number on it. They only had their e-mail (electronic) on it. And we wanted to make sure that anybody that participated in the job fair heard back from us immediately in writing. They didn't have a mailing address; she had an e-mail address. In the meantime, we have reached out to her, but she applied for a clerical position, which at this time we don't -- we have laborers positions. Matter of fact, we're working now with the International Laborers. We're signing a contract with them. And for all the people that we're doing business with, we require from them what we set for a standard for ourself [sic], which is that we reach out to the community to hire first. So just like we are, we want to make sure that they're going to be reaching out to the City of Miami and to Miami -Dade County to make sure that we're hiring folks. I know that the last time we were here you wanted to speak to the person in charge and our contractor. Our project executive, Louis Bray (phonetic), is here today. He has made a commitment that we follow through on the numbers that you see here. We have Marsha Jackman, who used to be a small business -- a director in the County in Miami. She is helping us steer all of this effort to make sure that we're doing the right thing. And as always, please feel free to call me. You have my cell number, and I'm always glad to make sure that we go above and beyond, so thank -- Chair Sarnoff Chris -- Mr. Hodgkins: -- you for your time. Yes. Chair Sarnoff -- take a deep breath. Mr. Hodgkins: Yeah. Chair Sarnoff And you simply need to give us your full name and your address, and you need to address Commissioner Suarez. Mr. Hodgkins: All right. Chair Sarnoff No. You need to give us your name and your address. Mr. Hodgkins: Oh, my name is Christopher Hodgkins. I'm vice president of Miami Access Tunnel. We're at 1040 Watson Island, Miami, Florida 33132. Chair Sarnoff And Commissioner Suarez is recognized. Vice Chair Suarez: Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Chris, I know that I don't have to tell you that the number one issue in our community right now is jobs. It's the number one complaint that we get in our office and we, as the City of Miami, are not really in the business of creating jobs or making jobs for people, but we do everything that we can to facilitate the private sector and any public projects attempts to hire more people from this community, particularly the ones that are City of Miami Page 6 Printed on 9/8/2011 OMNI Community Redevelopment Agency Meeting Minutes April 25, 2011 funding these projects. My question to you is, is this an issue of lack of training? I mean, do we, as a CRA, need to set up something to train people to do the jobs, people from this area? Is that what the holdup is? Because if that's the case, maybe that's something that the CRA can do. What's the holdup? Mr. Hodgkins: Well, there's actually no holdup. We have pledged coming in that we would directly hire 400 people. We're approximately at 200 people. We have bodged over 750 people. So that means people coming in the door doing business, we're up to 750. Our direct hires are approximately 200. Of those, we've got well qualified people. Those that aren't well qualified we're doing OJT (On the Job Training) with. So we have two graduates coming out in the very near future from on-the-job training. That's with us directly. For example, two weeks ago, we sponsored a recruitment event. What we did is from our 3,500 applicants, we went and saw all the applicants that had any experience in steelworks. So then we brought them in and we interviewed 120 applicants, and these are folks that had experience working with steel, and we brought them in because we're going to be hand tying all the rebar that's going into our segments. So again, we're hiring all local for that. We built our plant in Sweetwater, right here in Miami -Dade County, but we made sure that we used our list that came from all the job fairs and from what everybody's been doing. But we're willing to train for those that don't have training, but there's no problem in people wanting to work and people who can work. As a matter of fact, we wish we could use them all. But right now at this point, we've hired about 200. That'll peak at about 400 direct hires, but it'll be much higher than that as it is right now. We're at around 200 and our badging is 750. Chair Sarnoff All right, the Chairman's recognized. Commissioner Gort: Chris, my question is -- I read the information you sent, and my understanding is you're interviewing people you thought that were qualified because of the application. But most of the times, there's no phone, no e-mail, and you got to realize a lot of these people have been out ofa job for maybe two years. Mr. Hodgkins: Sure. Commissioner Gort: They can't afford a phone and they cannot afford e-mail. Mr. Hodgkins: Right. Commissioner Gort: But they have a home address, so if we can send some kind ofa letter -- Mr. Hodgkins: No. That's what -- Commissioner Gort: -- to the home address, I appreciate it. Mr. Hodgkins: -- what's usually -- Commissioner Gort: It doesn't mean they're going to get the job -- Mr. Hodgkins: No. I -- Commissioner Gort: -- but at least they get a chance to get interviewed. Mr. Hodgkins: That's a very good point, Mr. Chairman. And what you saw for those that didn't have a phone, what we did is everybody did use their home address and we gave them a hard copy ofa letter mailed directly to them. What we had is a problem with one person that didn't leave a home address or a phone number. They left an e-mail, so we had to go back and get the e-mail and then e-mailed them directly, and that's what we did do. The others, for example, you City of Miami Page 7 Printed on 9/8/2011 OMNI Community Redevelopment Agency Meeting Minutes April 25, 2011 saw that we had the six individuals that we called for a job and their phone was disconnected. We will be meeting on that because what we don't want to do is -- chances are some people who are applying for a job and need a job and want a job maybe can't afford the phone. So we will make sure that we -- Commissioner Gort: Right. Mr. Hodgkins: -- make an extra effort to reach out to those folks and that won't be an excuse that you'll see us using again. Commissioner Gort: Appreciate it. Thank you. Commissioner Dunn: Mr. Chairman. Chair Sarnoff You're recognized, Commissioner Dunn. Commissioner Dunn: Let me, first of all, thank the Port for taking our commitment serious. As you know, last time we had this discussion item, we were concerned in terms of process, in terms of how it was going about. The numbers that we're now -- that you're now sharing with us make me feel more comfortable than before, particularly as it deals with the citizens in the City in general, and more specifically those who are in CRA. Secondly, I am certainly even more confident with the involvement of Ms. Marsha Jackman advising the Port. It is good to have some level of checks and balances, and because I know she values her integrity. And not only that; she brings a wealth of experience from her many years that she served in the County, and I'm sure that the CRA will be getting great opportunities. And thirdly, I would like to -- I will be contacting the City Manager to ask the procurement director for the City to provide you with a list of local City vendors, and I think that's some of the things that have been echoed today, to add to your list of small local businesses. If I say -- it, I should say -- it should save some room for improvement, it would be in the area of small business, particularly those in the CRA ZIP codes. Again, I want to thank you for your commitment and councilwoman from Aventura, I believe. And I would ask that this would be done on a quarterly basis -- Mr. Hodgkins: Glad to. Commissioner Dunn: -- so that we could at least be updated to make sure that people in the City, but particularly in the CRA districts do get an opportunity to participate. Mr. Hodgkins: Thank you. Chair Sarnoff Chris, let me just say this to you because I'm probably the only one up here that had the opportunity and the good fortune of having voted for the tunnel project. And I say that because I was also the only Commissioner on the dais at one time that supported the tunnel project. I still think this is going to be something the City of Miami, the County, and the State are going to be the most proud of. I think this is going to be the best public works project, I think, in the history of South Florida. I've said that all along. I've said it was going to be a huge economic driver at the inception stage for the opportunity for folks to go out and build. I think you're coming up and coming forth with pretty much what you said you were going to do and doing it with a very nice face. I mean, I've said this to you many times, I hope when this project is done -- and I know we're a long way getting it done -- that you stay in South Florida. I think you said this guys never leaving this town. So I think you're a great asset to this town. But I still stress to everybody, there are those out there in the community that still naysay this project and this is a project that is protecting more than 170,000 indirect jobs to the South Florida economy. In my opinion, this is bigger than the airport. I could justdy that statement, but most people will tell you this is the second biggest economic driver to the airport. And I want to thank you for always coming before this Board, coming before the Commission. And as the person who had City of Miami Page 8 Printed on 9/8/2011 OMNI Community Redevelopment Agency Meeting Minutes April 25, 2011 5 11-00362 the opportunity to convince two other people finally to vote for this project, I want to thank you personally. Mr. Hodgkins: Thank you. Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just one thing. It's -- the first meeting that I came to for the CRA wasn't for the tunnel. It was for the Hospitality Institute. And tonight we're here with the -- the manager of this facility is Robert Lacle, and what always impressed me most -- and he got us involved in the Hospitality Institute so that we would have a table at all of their events to hire people from there. And we have hired quite a few folks from that job fair. But that began here with Robert Lacle, and I know a lot of folks are here today for part of that, but I appreciate that all of you folks have done to make that happen and it got us involved too. But please always continue to stay on us. And you know, both Marsha and myself work hard to try to make sure that we come up with the numbers that really reflect a true commitment. But none of this would happen without our project executive, Louis Bray (phonetic), who is following through to make sure that the numbers that we want to see become a reality. So thank you for your time here this afternoon. Chair Sarnoff Thank you. CRA DISCUSSION DISCUSSION ITEM REGARDING CRA MEMBERSHIP TO GMCC. File 3 11-00362-04-25-2011- Cover Memo.pdf MOTION A motion was made by Commissioner Gort, seconded by Commissioner Dunn, and was passed unanimously, to authorize the Community Redevelopment Agency to become a member of the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce. Chair Sarnoff All right. Do you want to --? Can we do NANA (Neighbors and Neighbors Association)? You want to do it at the end? Do you want --? Pieter Bockweg (Executive Director, Community Redevelopment Agency): We have one more item, Commissioner. Chair Sarnoff Did I miss one? Oh, I'm sorry. You're right. Item number 5. Mr. Bockweg: Item number 5, Mr. Chairman, is something that I think is important to move this CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency) forward. It's a membership to the Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce. The cost of the membership, which is $2,500, is within my purview. However, I thought, talking to a Commissioner, as well as agreeing with him, that it's important that we bring it in here and at least advise you and also the public that I think it's important that the CRA becomes a member of the Chamber of Commerce. I think there's a lot of benefits to it that will attract people. There's networking opportunities, planning initiatives that they do that we can be a part of Like I said, networking, getting the word out, exposure and making sure that people understand that the CRA, both Omni and Overtown, is a place to invest, live, and definitely work. So I bring it before you as a request to get permission to join the Chamber of Commerce. Chair Sarnoff. Anybody wish to speak? Commissioner Dunn: I -- yes, Mr. Chairman. Chair Sarnoff You're recognized, Commissioner. City of Miami Page 9 Printed on 9/8/2011 OMNI Community Redevelopment Agency Meeting Minutes April 25, 2011 PRESENTATION 6 11-00363 Commissioner Dunn: Certainly, I believe your point is well stated. If we're going to be taken serious by this business community of Greater Miami, I think it's incumbent upon us to be a part of the scope of things. I know every year -- and even though I had pledged to do so, there's a goals conference. I believe they still have that. I think if we're going to be serious about being a part of the planning process and stages and just being a part of the vision, we need to be in at the ground level. And I believe the role that the CRA has the potential to play, I think it's -- it makes just all the business sense in the world. Chair Sarnoff Anyone else wish to be heard? I mean, I could tell you this, I could echo -- and I won't echo what he said because he said it better than I could say it -- which is I think that we need to play a role with the business community and to be attuned to what the business community wants, to know what they think they should be incentivized for and what they shouldn't be incentivized. And I think one thing government does is gets away from understanding business. And I think the CRA, it should be in the business of procuring business. So I can see you doing it, and I hope the other Commissioners would support that as well. Commissioner Gort. Mr. Chair, sorry. Commissioner Gort: I don't think not only the Chamber of Commerce, but I think there's a lot of events, like on June 1 you're going to have the Hemisphere Congress of -- by CAMACOL (Latin Chamber of Commerce), which brings about 21 different chamber of commerce from the different countries throughout the world. 'Cause it originally began as the Latin American United States, and now we have Europe involved and Africa involved. And I think it's important for people to understand that they can come and invest and we have places where they can -- investment where it can be very helpful to them and we can work with them. So I think it's very important, the participation. I mean, networking is what everything's all about. Chair Sarnoff All right. Commissioner Gort: Do you need a motion? Move it. Commissioner Dunn: Second. Chair Sarnoff All right, we have a motion and we have a second. Any discussion? Hearing no discussion, all in favor, please say "aye." The Commissioners (Collectively): Aye. CRA PRESENTATION A PRESENTATION OF CERTIFICATES FOR PARTICIPANTS OF N.A.N.A. BUSINESS TRAINING PROGRAM. NO ACTION TAKEN Note for the Record: This item was presented at the Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency meeting of April 25, 2011. Chair Sarnoff. Okay, number 6. Do you want to do that at the end? Pieter Bockweg (Executive Director, Community Redevelopment Agency): I would prefer, Mr. Chairman, if that's okay. There's a lot of graduation diplomas that we have to give out and there's some in the Omni as well as in the Southeast Overtown/Park West. City of Miami Page 10 Printed on 9/8/2011 OMNI Community Redevelopment Agency Meeting Minutes April 25, 2011 Commissioner Sarnoff. So what I do, Madam Clerk, is then just recess? Mr. Bockweg: It's the same item for both, Madam Clerk, so -- Commissioner Dunn: So we'll do it jointly, together. Priscilla A. Thompson (Clerk of the Board): The problem is that you have two different file IDs (Identifications), two different items on two different meeting agendas. So I don't know -- if you recess it, you would still have to come back to this meeting after you finish your presentations at the other meeting. Commissioner Dunn: Mr. Chair -- Veronica Xiques (Assistant General Counsel): I -- Commissioner Dunn: Go ahead, I'm sorry. I was going to -- go ahead. Ms. Xiques: I would say that you can just take -- you know, it's a discussion item. There's no -- Chair Sarnoff. All right, so let me acjourn. Let me -- Is there a motion to acjourn? Commissioner Dunn: So move. Commissioner Suarez: Second. Chair Sarnoff. We have a motion. We have a second. All in favor, please say "aye." The Commissioners (Collectively): Aye. Chair Sarnoff Okay. The meeting is now yours, Mr. Chair. City of Miami Page 11 Printed on 9/8/2011
