A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF THE OMNI

ADOPTING THE CITY OF MIAMI'S PROCUREMENT ORDINANCE, AS MAY BE
AMENDED FROM TIME TO TIME, AS THE PROCESS IN WHICH ANY AND ALL

WHEREAS, the Omni Redevelopment District Community Redevelopment Agency ("CRA") was
created pursuant to Chapter 163 of the Florida Statutes; and
WHEREAS, from time to time, the CRA must procure services and/or goods in order to carry out
the goals of the Redevelopment Plan; and
WHEREAS, no formal process currently exists concerning the procurement of said services and/or
goods; and
WHEREAS, various government agencies have very specific laws in place that govern
procurement processes; and
WHEREAS, the intent of these laws is to provide fair competition, reduce opportunity for
favoritism, and create an ethical process; and
WHEREAS, while the CRA is not statutorily required to follow a specific procurement process, a
formal process should be implemented in order to continue to provide for fair competition, reduce any
opportunity for favoritism, and continue to create an ethical process; and
WHEREAS, on or about February 3, 2016, the Miami -Dade County Grand Jury ("Grand Jury")
issued a final report after analyzing many different community redevelopment agencies throughout
Miami -Dade County; and
WHEREAS, one of the findings of the Grand Jury was that various community redevelopment
agencies throughout Miami -Dade County do not utilize a formal procurement process which has led
to mismanagement, waste, collusion, and corruption; and
WHEREAS, the Grand Jury recommended that Chapter 163 of the Florida Statutes be amended
to require formal procurement processes; and
WHEREAS, notwithstanding that the state statute has not been amended, the Board of
Commissioners of the CRA believes it is prudent to voluntarily follow the formal procurement process
of the City of Miami as codified in Chapter 18, Articles III and V of the Code of the City of Miami, as
amended ("City Code");
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF THE OMNI
