Calling the September 24, 2018 meeting of the Miami -- meeting of the Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency into order. With us today, we have Commissioners Wifredo Gort, Manolo Reyes, Ken Russell; and myself, Kean Hardemon, the Chairman. I apologize for the 10-minute delay. This is probably my first meeting I've ever started late, and I was coming from Miami Beach, at a Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau meeting, so -- right. So I was trying to make both, but here we are. So what I'd like to do first is -- we don't have any minutes, so what I'll do is, we have an agenda that has 11 resolution items, and I will open up for public comment on those 11 items. So if you're a member of the public and you want to speak to any item that's on the agenda, please step to any -- to this lectern. State your first name, your last name, you may state your address, and then what item it is that you're here to speak about. Once again, your first name, your last name, you may state your address, and what item it is that you're here to speak about. You have two minutes to address this body. The floor is open. James, can you please stop pocket - dialing me? You're dialing my phone. Thank you. I'm going to close the public comment at this time.

Seeing no discussion, is there a motion? Board Member Russell: Move it. Board Member Reyes: Second. Chair Hardemon: It's been properly moved and seconded to accept the agenda for September 24, 2018. Any further comment? Todd B. Hannon (City Clerk): Chair? Chair Hardemon: You're recognized. Mr. Hannon: I do have the following amendments to make: For Item Number 2, the title of the resolution needs to have "with attachments" added to it, and the backup document needs to be renamed as "Exhibit 'A.'" For Item Number 4, the title needs to be corrected, in addition to grammatical corrections to the legislation. And for Items 5, 7, and 11, grammatical corrections to the legislation. Chair Hardemon: All right. Mover and seconder agree to those corrections? Board Member Russell: Yes; nothing of substance? Chair Hardemon: No, nothing of substance. Board Member Reyes: (UNINTELLIGIBLE). Chair Hardemon: Any, fiurther comments? Richard Bloom: Mr. Chairman, as far as Item 2, there's another change; that the form of the development -- the Block 55 Development Agreement should be, "Substantially in the SEOPW CRA Page 2 Printed on 6/25/2019 Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA Meeting Minutes September 24, 2018 2. form attached." The language in the resolution itself doesn't track the language in the Development Agreement, which provides for further flexibility. Chair Hardemon: So to be clear, you want it to be, "Substantially in the form attached"? Mr. Bloom: "Substantially in the form attached to Exhibit "A," correct. Chair Hardemon: It has to be accepted by the mover and seconder. Board Member Russell: Yes. Board Member Reyes: Yes. Chair Hardemon: All right. Any further discussion? Any further comments? Any unreadiness? Hearing none, all in favor of the motion, say "aye." The Board (Collectively): Aye. Chair Hardemon: Motion passes. Thank you very much, everyone. It's a wonderfid meeting. Meeting is adjourned.
