CRA DISCUSSION 2553 DISCUSSION ITEM REGARDING TOWN PARK PLAZA NORTH REHABILITATION PROJECT. RESULT: DISCUSSED Chair Hardemon: The first thing I'd like to get into is the discussion item related to the status update of the Town Park Plaza North Rehabilitation Project. Is there a presentation that's being made? Brian Zeltsman: Yes. Chair Hardemon: Okay. Will it involve the screen behind me? Mr. Zeltsman: Exactly. Chair Hardemon: Okay. Mr. Zeltsman: Five-minute presentation. Chair Hardemon: You're recognized, sir. Mr. Zeltsman: Thank you. CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency) Director of Architecture Brian Zeltsman. Not to shine light in your eyes, Commissioner, but behind you is a PowerPoint presentation briefly to provide an update. I want to say that this is probably one of the most ambitious projects this CRA -- or perhaps any CRA may have embarked upon, and that's the rehabilitation of Town Park Plaza North. The reason I say that -- and I know you Commissioners are all very familiar with the project, but for those joining us, or as a recap, I'll give a little bit of an overview on the project. It's located here, highlighted in yellow there. I apologize for that color; it's not shining up too well. But on the south side of Northwest 20th Street and just east of I-95, it's 169 condominium units; obviously, each individually owned; many of them occupied. The site includes 20 residential buildings and one clubhouse building. And what makes this project much more challenging than some of our other projects is the fact that we are temporarily relocating all the residents while the work is being done inside their unit. And the reason for that is that it's a full gut style renovation. In addition to that, the project includes vast site work and common area upgrades. So this photo -- trying to show some of the existing conditions. You might look at this photo and say, "This looks like a very nice community. Why would the CRA be spending $15 million to provide a grant to redo some of these units?" So this is some of the photos of some vacant units that -- this is taken from a variety of vacant units throughout the project. So not to say that someone was living in these particular units, but I could tell you for a fact, like that mold that you see in the top left photo, a family of four was living directly on the other side of that wall, so you can imagine what the air quality and what it must be like just being a resident of a neighbor of one of these units. So this was the need for us to step in. So what are we doing? The project includes site improvements throughout the entire campus. That includes drainage system repairs and replacement; water and sewer lines throughout; and individual water meters are being installed for each unit. Previously, the complex had one water meter for the entire 169 units, and due to just a lack of conservation, as well as some water leaks, it was very common for the association to receive bills in excess of $20,000 a month for the community; this would hope to SEOPW CRA Page 3 Printed on 7/13/2017 Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA Meeting Minutes June 26, 2017 eliminate that. In addition to that, we're installing new asphalt parking and driveways, and repairing and replacing any sidewalk that needs improvement. Perimeter fencing: When the project is done, we'll be installing a motorized gate, and we're beautfing the area with landscaping, as well. I'm happy to say that the CRA sought a grant from the Health Foundation of South Florida to promote physical activity, and we're using some funds from that grant to install this new playground. And by comparison, this next photo here on the bottom left, that was sort of what the children at Town Park North had to say was their playground before. We mentioned in the past that we're replacing all the roofs of all 21 buildings with new metal roofs. These are white in color to help reduce the heat gain, and they are expected to last 40 years. In addition, we talked a little bit in the past at previous meetings about the installation of new impact -resistant windows and doors, so we would eliminate the need for security bars, as well as hurricane shutters if a storm were to arrive. And in general, just when the buildings are being completed, we're just providing improvements to the facade, just to provide a fresh look. So the meat of the project really is the interior gut renovation. The first step with that is to remediate and remove any asbestos, and there was quite a bit throughout the project; just about every unit did have it. And these are some images of some of the prep work that was going into -- prior to the removal. And then, at the end of the day, it is a full gut rehab, as you can see, completely demoed from one wall to the other, throughout the building. Of course, all new electrical wiring, lighting, plumbing lines and fixtures and new framing going in. Everything is new. In addition to that, we're trying to keep costs down for power utilities, so we're installing energy -efficient ACs (air conditioners); instant hot water, so it's only drawing electricity when it's actually being used; and, of course, new drywall and finishes, and that includes ceilings. So these are some photos of -- When residents do get back into their homes after being temporarily relocated, this is some of the images of the cleaned -up units as people moving in. You can see that the stainless steel refrigerators and range, and a microwave are also included. Those cabinets that you see there are wood -base, you know, plywood -base cabinets, no particle board. The countertops, both in the kitchen and bath, are granite, and you can see undermount sinks are standard here, and we were offering a couple of decent color schemes that the residents can choose from. So where are we now? With the site work and the improvements I mentioned, we're about 50 percent complete on the main campus. That's -- the main campus is what we consider the area between 4th Court and 5th Place. The site is divided by 5th Place, with four buildings being on the west side of 5th Place. So on the main campus, that work is 50 percent complete. The roofs are all completed on all buildings. The windows and doors are all completed on all buildings. For the interior gut renovation, what I have highlighted here in red are five of 20 buildings, which are fully completed; and so, we have folks that have moved back into their new units from these buildings. In addition to that, there are four other buildings that are currently being worked on. Three of those four buildings, I'm expecting to have completion by the end of July. I just got some good word that we're expecting a certificate on one of the buildings tomorrow. And one of those buildings is taking a little bit longer. We're -- expect that to be completed in August. And it is a long project. What I'm showing here is the areas -- the buildings in blue are the ones that have not been started, but happy to say that we do have the plans and the permitting in, complete, so there should be no delays when the time comes to actually start that work. So that is generally the presentation I have. You have any questions? Chair Hardemon: You can stay there just in case we have some questions. You have something you want to start with? Cornelius Shiver: No, we're good. We're good. Chair Hardemon: Commissioners, I thought that it was good to have this update; not only for ourselves, but for people who are in the community, to see what's actually happening in the area. You know, at times, we have media outlets that tend to sensationalize certain aspects of things, and what I wanted to do was give you all a real, SEOPW CRA Page 4 Printed on 7/13/2017 Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA Meeting Minutes June 26, 2017 true update about what's going on there. Any of us can take a walk-through of the site. I've taken walk-throughs of the site, and had an opportunity to actually see, touch, and feel the quality of the product that's there. One of the things that I walked away from saying was that those units are better than the apartment I live in right now. I mean, the granite is superior quality, wood cabinets. People have chosen three -- a multiplicity of different designs. And one of the things that I thought was interesting, when you talk about a community, there are 169 units in Town Park North, and they all had the same water meter, so there was one water meter for all of Town Park North. And what that means is that if this half of the complex decided not to use their water, you still had to pay for -- you had to split the cost of the water amongst everyone, and that's exacerbated -- When they lifted up the piping, the water piping, et cetera, there were holes in the water piping, so the water was contaminated. You were getting -- you weren't getting good water pressure. And now, all of those units have their own individual water meter. If there's work that needs to be done to one unit, they turn off the water to that one unit and they can do the work; compared to before, if one of the units in all of the development had to have some work done, everyone's water had to go off and so, you can imagine the type of issue that caused for people. And moreover, one of the things that I want the people -- especially if you're here from Overtown -- to understand what this project is doing. This isn't a project where we're bringing in new affordable housing. This isn't a project where we have some vacant land, we find a developer, and that person builds something. This project is different, because it's doing something that hasn't been done across this nation. In neighborhoods that are being gentrified in other places, where you hear media want to use that term in Overtown, but what you're seeing in Town Park North and South and the Village, because of the gentlemen that are sitting up here and the work that's being done by the CRA is a direct investment into the people who live there in Overtown. And so, I try to explain it in this way: Town Park North, the community, could not assess itself $15 million to pay for all of these renovations; it just could not have happened. And so, what would have happened is the continual deterioration of the units. And we've seen in other neighborhoods -- not only in Miami, but in other cities -- when neighborhoods continue to deteriorate, they're eventually condemned, and when they're condemned, what you're going to see are you're going to see thousands of people moved out of their units that they own; that now, they can't sell individually, because there's no true value to it. And the only person that can buy it is a major developer, and that person is going to tear it down and build new luxury units. And so, when the CRA took it upon itself to give this money to all of the Town Parks, what you're guaranteeing is that the people who live in Overtown will be there for the next hundred years; that the people who own their properties today will be the owners of their property tomorrow and in the foreseeable future, as long as they don't sell. You're giving people a standard of living that everyone enjoys within the City of Miami -- or at least they should; that-- that when the renters now move into the area, the people that live there can say, "I live in Overtown and I live in standard housing, and I feel proud to be here." So, you know, in school, at Northwestern, I ran across a couple students and there was an older woman who was doing some subbing and she told the kids that she was from Overtown, and the kids were teasing her. And she said to them, "When I grew up, if you said you were from Overtown, that was the hip place to be from. That was like saying you were from, you know, Hollywood, California. I mean, it was where everything was happening, where people wanted to be." And the kids said to her, "Well, I feel sorry for you, because that's not what Overtown is." And what these type of projects will show you is that, that mindset amongst our children is going to change, because Overtown is once again becoming a place where everyone wants to be. And what I'm excited about is that unlike any other place throughout the United States, we found a way to give directly to the people so that they stay in their homes, and I think that that's what this represents; an opportunity for the people who live in Overtown to remain in Overtown. And so, if any of us have any questions about the progress, feel free to ask those questions now, but I just wanted to ensure that we had an opportunity to see what was happening, because sometimes, you read it in the paper, and you think that world is falling out of the universe; and certainly, that's not the case here. Here, you are -- you SEOPW CRA Page 5 Printed on 7/13/2017 Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA Meeting Minutes June 26, 2017 have a case where, I believe, Mr. Shiver, you can tell about some of the delays that we've had and some of the anticipated cost that we'll see come due; but, certainly, we're doing a lot better than the Adrienne Arsht Center; certainly doing a lot better than the port tunnel; certainly doing a lot better than any of these major developments that have used public funding to make it happen. And most importantly, we're giving people in our communities an opportunity to have -- to get rid of -- to do our mission, which is to get rid of slum in these places so that people have healthy lives they can live in a place that's clean, in the place that they grew up, and they can continue to call home. Mr. Shiver. Mr. Shiver: Thank you. Neil Shiver, assistant director of the Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA. I have the good fortune to sit in for my good friend and my boss, Clarence, who is still on vacation; a well needed vacation. Let me give you the bad new first and then the good news last. The presentation that Brian gave spoke to nine units. Clearly, we have 20 units and one community center. Currently, we have monies to at least complete at least the next phase, which is four more buildings, so that takes us to 13 buildings. And so, we anticipate coming back before the board with more precise numbers on what it would take to complete this project. That's the bad news. How do we get to that point? Frankly, until the point -- initially, the general contractor underbidded [sic] the contract. There was no incentive for him to do so in that it was an RFQ (Request for Qualifications) -- it was an RFP (Request for Proposals). They just basically missed the numbers. Number two, there were some delays that also may add to the additional cost that we're going to need to complete this project. There was asbestos found. There was some delays in relocating people. This project, this endeavor, the undertaking had been talked about for many of years, and when we came to doing this project, there were many people just didn't believe we would do it. And so, there are some people who just would not leave their units; they really felt that it was a trick. They didn't believe that no one would come in and upgrade their quality of life in their units at no cost to them. Some believed if they moved out, they wouldn't be allowed to come back in. So there was just a distrust based on past broken promises. And so, relocation became a challenge. There were other challenges, but at the end of the day, it boils down to -- I expect to come back or the executive director will come back to you sometime in early 2018 to give you exactly what we need to complete this project. We're not out of funds, but we anticipate that we do not have funds based to the cost overruns. What I will tell the board and the community is that we have found no waste and no fraud; they just missed the numbers. They had no incentive to do so; they did. What I would say in conclusion, the good news -- and I did have good news -- the good news -- Whenever you hear me speak on behalf of the CRA, I talk about you, the leadership, and I talk about the executive director and his leadership. We are a well -managed CRA. Even though there are cost runs, we can make it happen with your continued leadership. I'm glad to answer any more questions if you have any more specific questions about it, but it was a tremendous undertaking. We're getting it done, as you can see. Chair Hardemon: How does this project affect the rest of the Town Park projects? Mr. Shiver: None whatsoever. The other Town Park projects have their own budget, and the monies have been already dedicated for those projects. If there are cost runs that have to be funded -- and there are, right? -- we have mechanisms and ways to coming up with those extra dollars. We have some projects just in this agenda, if it's approved, I'll get another million dollars from today's agenda. We're closing on a development agreement with Marcus Samuelsson Development Group, and we're bringing another 1.5. We have revenue producing projects. We are a well ran, viable organization. We will get this mission done. Board Member Russell: Mr. Chairman. Chair Hardemon: You're recognized. SEOPW CRA Page 6 Printed on 7/13/2017 Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA Meeting Minutes June 26, 2017 PUBLIC COMMENTS Board Member Russell: Thank you. In hindsight, would you do something different in the bidding process that would make the numbers more accurate? Is there something we could have done? Mr. Shiver: Well, the bidding process wasn't the problem. I mean, the bidding process was thorough. I think, if we had to do it again, we would do probably an assessment of the project before we enter into the development agreement of GC (general contractor). The reason that we did -- started with the doors, windows and roofs is because people just didn't believe that this was going to happen. And so, we wanted to hit the ground immediately; and so, we tasked the general contractor with getting there and making some changes. These places were awful, Commissioner. They were conditions that you wouldn't subject anyone to live to — live in. And these assessments take three, four, five, six months. We hit the ground running, and we hit the ground running with all the good intentions that we would complete this project in a short period of time, and taking that approach -- We would probably take a slower approach. So I would not change anything in the procurement process, because that's not where the problem was. Board Member Russell: You would have checked the numbers better? Mr. Shiver: Yes. Vice Chair Gort: Let me tell you, I'm working on a house up until 1932, and when you start open up walls, and you start open up places, and places like this, you have to go into one of the apartments, then monitor the whole apartment, look at it, because whatever you find in one apartment, you're going to find it throughout the whole building. So this is -- When you go into an old building like that, or an old development like that, you need to be very careful. You have to have some idea of some of the things you're going to find, and you'd be amazed. Mr. Shiver: Right. And it was -- there was some -- a lot of unforeseen situations. And Commissioners, even though we call this a complete rehab, this is almost new construction. I mean this is new construction; construction to be comparable to anything in Brickell and Kendall. Chair Hardemon: Except new construction is a little bit easier. Mr. Shiver: Some people believe that's what we should have done in the first place. Chair Hardemon: So with that being said, what I'd like to do is I'd like to open the floor for public comment for the agenda for today, so with Resolutions 1 through 5. If you're here to speak on any of the agenda items and you're a member of the public, please approach the lectern, state your name, you may state your address, which item it is that you're here about, and you can give your opinion. Frederick Bryant: Good afternoon, Mr. Chair, honorable Commissioners, and others present. My name is Frederick Bryant, 1431 Northwest 2nd Avenue, Overtown, Miami, Florida. I think this project that you've just been discussing is a good one; it sounds good. But as a homeowner, owning my own house, some of you may recall that -- well, I have a couple of things, but let me discuss one thing first. We're talking about the building improvements or renovations of this Town Park, but then, let's not forget about the outside, too, which is loaded with -- let's say addicts in the neighborhood. As a matter of fact, Monday, I made a call to the NET (Neighborhood Enhancement Team) Office, because right outside of my door, there were some people sleeping, you know, on the sidewalk; and right under a tree, there was someone with some bedding, right under SEOPW CRA Page 7 Printed on 7/13/2017 Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA Meeting Minutes June 26, 2017 a tree. So let's not only think about the outside but -- And as a matter of fact, the NET said they couldn't do anything about it, because of the Pottinger Law, which says that, unless the sidewalk is completely covered, they can't do anything about it. So I think that something still needs to be done about that and that law. So let's not only think about the inside of Town Park, but let's look at the surrounding, also, in that area. I also once asked about improvements to my private home, but I was told that I was outside of the area for that, so I guess I'll have to do that on my own so -- but I'm not worried about that. And another thing: I'd like to throw my hat in the ring for the St. John, the head of the CDC (Community Development Corporation) of St. John. But anyway, the homelessness and drugs of Overtown in the area. Thank you. Chair Hardemon: Thank you, sir. Mr. Bryant's home is outside of the boundary? Mr. Bryant: It's in 2nd Avenue -- it's inside the boundary. Chair Hardemon: It is inside. Mr. Bryant: 2nd Avenue and 14th Terrace. Chair Hardemon: Right. The -- one of the things that -- You know, we haven't had a significant program to rehab single-family homes. I think that the Town Park homeownership is the largest concentration of homeowners in Overtown, but I think the appetite is really starting to formulate to be able to improve upon single-family homes in the area, as well, so we're going to find a way to make it happen, where we can assist homeowners in making sure that they're living in standard conditions, as well. So stick through -- stick with us, you know. Mr. Bryant: Okay. Chair Hardemon: Okay. Andrea Copeland: Good evening. My name is Andrea Copeland, and I live at 1940 Northwest 4th Court, Unit Number 340. I would like to just thank you, Commissioner Hardemon, as well as the CRA, for coming in and really pushing the project forward. Myself and Gertrude Clyde was working with former Commissioner Teele and the CRA for over 10 years to actually start our project. We have -- been having our challenges, but I would like to commend Tim and Carlos from Mastermind Construction. It was slow, but we are moved in. They're very -- they're wonderful contractors. They -- you know, they speak one on one with the residents and stuff like that. So there's been a lot of challenges, you know, that we're hearing in the community; however, we're here. We have residents here on behalf of the homeowners, and we'd just like to say thank you. (Applause) Chair Hardemon: Is there any other person that'd like to speak on any item that's on the agenda? Seeing none, I'm going to close the public comment section. SEOPW CRA Page 8 Printed on 7/13/2017 Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA Meeting Minutes June 26, 2017 CRA RESOLUTIONS 1.

If there is no discussion that you want to have on it, then well take a -- I'll entertain a motion to pass the agenda items RE.1 through 5. Board Member Suarez: So moved. Chair Hardemon: Been properly moved by Commissioner Suarez; seconded by the Chair. Is there any particular item that any of you want to discuss? Todd B. Hannon (City Clerk): And excuse me, Chair. Just for the record, RE.1 will need to be amended. William Bloom: Commissioner, there's a revised draft of the amendment to the covenant before you. There's a new conceptual plan that was submitted to the executive director. It was approved, and the amendment acknowledges that. There's some issues regarding whether the developer was entitled to approximately $40, 000 in additional predevelopment fees. The amendment was -- clarified that he's not entitled to any further funds. The outside date was extended from June 1, 2018 to July 1, 2018. And a condition was added confirming that the title to the property did not revert to the CRA, because the developer didn't commence vertical construction by the April 7, 2017 deadline to clear up any questions that the title company would have. Board Member Suarez: I accept the amendment. Chair Hardemon: And the seconder accepts the amendments, as well. Mr. Hannon: Then, Chair, RE.5, there is a backup document that will need to be substituted. It does not amend the legislation; it's just a backup document.
