The Board of Commissioners of the Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency
("CRA"), by Resolution No. CRA-R-07-0028, authorized execution of an agreement with Florida International
University's Metropolitan Center ("FIU"), in an amount not to exceed $25,000, to update the Finding of Necessity
Study for the Amended 2004 SEOPW Redevelopment Plan and to evaluate additional expansion of the
Redevelopment Area. FIU ultimately submitted a proposal at a cost in excess of $38,000. The CRA
subsequently received a proposal in the amount of $17,500 from Olmedillo X 5, Inc., whose principal performed
the original study for the 2004 Amended Plan, and issued a Work Order in that amount.

Section 163.355, Florida Statutes, provides that no municipality shall exercise community redevelopment
authority conferred by statute until a legislative finding of necessity supported by data and analysis has been
adopted. This study is necessary to comply with the statute.
