The meeting was called to order by Chair Hardemon at 5:07 p.m., and was adjourned at 5:58 p.m. Note for the Record: Commissioner Reyes entered the meeting at 5:17p.m. ALSO PRESENT: Cornelius Shiver, Executive Director, CRA Allana Robinson Woods, Staff Counsel, CRA Chanel Jefferson, Staff Counsel, CRA William Bloom, Special Counsel, CRA Todd B. Hannon, Clerk of the Board CRA PUBLIC COMMENTS Chair Hardemon: Welcome to the March 7, 2019 Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency) agenda. Thank you for being here today. With us on the dais are Commissioner Ken Russell, Commissioner Willy Gort; myself the Chairman, and I think we are expecting some other individuals, as well. What we're going to do is start directly with our public comments section. If you are a member of the public and you want to speak on any item that's on the agenda today, you may approach this lectern. So, once again, if you are a member of the public and you'd like to speak on any item on the agenda today, you may approach this lectern, and you have two minutes to address this body. Please state your first name, your last name; you may state your address, and what item it is that you're speaking in reference to. Andre Williams: My name is Andre Williams; address, 1490 Northwest 3rd Avenue, Miami, Florida, in the Overtown Business Plaza, as the Overtown Business and Resource Center; and also, being elected to the Overtown Oversight Advisory Board. That was it, right? That's everything. Chair Hardemon: That's pretty good. Mr. Williams: All right. So the item I want to speak on is Item 5572, and I want to speak Oil it, not in a negative way, but in a positive way, but in relationship to supporting everything that this community is, and supporting this community 100 percent. And I just would like to ask that more consideration be given to entities that are in Overtown, of Overtown, existing within Overtown before we start inviting entities and funding entities from outside of Overtown. It sends, in my opinion, a bad message to people about how businesses are funded. And I've had people personally come to me and say, "Hey, blase, blase wasn't considered; blase, blase, and they got considered," so not to throw anyone under the bus, because we do support excellence, black excellence in particular, but we definitely want to give more consideration to who we are funding and how these funds SEOPW CRA Page 1 Printed on 6/25/2019 Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA Meeting Minutes March 7, 2019 are being allocated towards small businesses, because they deserve a chance, and they're not getting that chance financially. The empowerment is not there, and 1 think that they deserve more. Yeah, we got a Jew cracks, a little bumps, a little bruises, a few obstacles to overcome, but I think with proper guidance, counseling, training, and just the ability to be empowered that some of these existing businesses, like Jackson Brothers, like Little Greenhouse Grill, all of -- they deserve the opportunity before we start vesting [sic] into businesses that are not of this community. That's what have to say. Thankyou. Chair Hardemon: Is there any other person from the public that'd like to speak? Sonia Jacobson: My name is Sonia Jacobson. My business is Suited for Success and Dress for Success Miami. We are located at 1600 Northwest 3rd Avenue, here in Overtown, 33136 -- I'm sorry -- 33136, correct. I'm here to support the first resolution, and I want to first of all thank our Commissioner and the rest of the members of the Commission panel, for the support we've had over the years. We are celebrating our 25th anniversary this year, and 10 years of that, the last 10 years have been here in the Overtown community, where we have managed to finally forge wonderful relationships with many of the local businesses here. And I also sit on the board of the Overtown Children Youth Coalition, and was one of the, founding members of that organization. So we're very much in support of all of the businesses that we have here in Overtown. And over the last 10 years, we've seen about 5 to 6,000 residents who have come to us from this community and many of them now are working, and it's with the support of the CRA that we've been able to do this. I especially want to thank Mr. Shiver and Mr. Joseph, who has continuously come to our office to support us and see what we need. They've been very industrious in making sure that we are still here, and that we're surviving well. So we've very much in support of their continuation. Thank you. Chair Hardemon: Senator, you have anything to say? Willie Barnes: Thank you, Mr. Chair. To the Chairperson, to all of the board members, to the staff of the Community Redevelopment Agency, I'm here twofold, really, and if -- My address is 245 Northwest 8th Street; that is the address to Greater Bethel AME (African Methodist Episcopal) Church, where in November, I was assigned as the pastor, and I've been here for about a month and a half. So I wanted to come and introduce myself to the Commission members, as well as to the entire board, and say that Greater Bethel is looking forward to working with the CRA and partnering in order to make the Overtown community the best community that it can be. And if I had to speak on any of the items on the agenda, it would be CRA Resolution 5566. And I want to encourage the strengthening, as well as the continuing of this organization, and the work that it's doing in the community. Thank you so much, Mr. Chair. Chair Hardemon: Thankyou very much. Saliha Nelson: Good evening. Saliha Nelson, 1000 Northwest 1st Avenue, Suite 100, 33136. Good evening, gentlemen. How is everyone? Good. I am here today on behalf of the Overtown Children and Youth Coalition, a State -designated children's' initiative, and the recognized steering committee for children and youth issues; not only by yourselves, but also the City Commission. And we want to thank the board in its efforts to create a legacy investment with the extension of the CRA. So I'm in support of the first item on the agenda. And these -- this legacy investment would fund the implementation of activities outlined in the Overtown Children and Youth Master Plan. This legacy investment would advance the redevelopment goals of creating jobs within the community, improving the quality of life for residents, and promoting entrepreneurship and technological innovations, as outlined in the updated Redevelopment Plan of 2018. Supporting these investments will also support the talent, development of young people originating out of this historic community by helping prepare young people for entrepreneurial, professional and technical professions, paid apprenticeships, and SEOPW CRA Page 2 Printed on 6/25/2019 Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA Meeting Minutes March 7, 2019 internships. And why is this important? Because as Overtown is growing, we need to power those businesses corning to the community with qualified, skilled, and ready young people and young adults. And so, towards this end, thank you for committing to commit to implement the activities outlined in the Overtown Children and Youth Master Plan with this resolution. Thank you very much. Shaneetha Omoaka: Hello. My Shaneetha Omoaka. I am from Human Resource of Miami. We're called the Overtown Beautification Team. We have been with CRA since about seven years now, going on eight years. And what CRA has -- right, I didn't do it right; forgive me. Here we go. So I'm talking about Item Number 1, and I'm also talking about CRA. And what CRA has done for us has allowed us to not only help the residents of Overtown, but to also make a change to the residents of Overtown. We're allowed to now work them; they're allowed to be trained; they're allowed to get their mind renewed. We've also requested counseling for a lot of them, and if there was not a CRA, we would not be able to do that. I just want to say thank you, and I hope you vote "yes," for CRA to stay. Marcia Cardy: Good evening. My name is Marcia Cardy, and I'm here also from Human Resources ofMiami. I'd like to say good evening to the Chair and the board, and staff of CRA. As mentioned earlier, without CRA funding us, we could not impact the 5 to 600 individuals that we have either, "A, " placed in johs; or redirected into college and vocational training over the past seven years. We've provided life skills counseling, careers counseling, and we've also performed the job placement internships for individuals that would normally be called displaced adults, ranging front ages 20 to 59 years old. So that is a population that is not always served, and without the CRA funding it would be highly impossible for us to provide the depth of services that we are doing. We want to just take a moment and say thank you so very much. Thank you. I forgot; did I say my name? Marcia Cardy. Okay. Jackie Bell: Jackie Bell, 1600 Northwest 3rd Avenue; New Washington Heights Community Development Corporation Folk Life Friday. Thank you very much. Please vote for it. Thema Campbell: Good afternoon. My name is Thema Campbell, and I'm the President and CEO (Chief Executive Officer) for Girl Power. The address is 1600 Northwest 3rd Avenue, in Overtown, and Ion here in support of Item Number 1; specifically for the World Literacy Crusade of Florida, listed as the Mama Hattie House Project. I want to thank you, Commissioner Hardemon; your staff Mr. Shiver, and everyone who's been working with us to make sure that this project happened. I'm so thankful that you have included it as one of your priority areas. And thank you very much. Bill Riley: Good evening, Chairman Keon Hardemon, Vice Chairman Willy Gort; I don't see Joe Carollo; Ken Russell, and Manolo Reyes. My name is Bill Riley, and I'm the Business Manager of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 349. We're located at 1657 Northwest 17th Avenue, Miami, Florida 33125. I would just like to take a moment to thank you for allowing me an opportunity to speak in support of the extension of the Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency from March 31, 2030 until March 31, 2042. Projects such as the Marriott Marquis Convention Center and Hotel will breathe new life into our community, providing jobs with livable wages and benefits to residents of the community, as well. This application of the County Responsible Wage Ordinance will ensure that all construction workers on the project will receive good wages and benefits. We applaud the CRA and the developer in bringing this vision forward that will benefit many local residents with a better living to encourage the community to do a lot better. Thank you very much for your time. Emanuel Washington: Good afternoon. My name is Emanuel Washington; 1490 Northwest 3rd Avenue. I'm the President of Community Work Training Program, and I'm SEOPW CRA Page 3 Printed on 6/25/2019 Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA Meeting Minutes March 7, 2019 here to support Item Number l; and also, all of the items, because supporting Item Number 1 makes all the rest of the items work, and make them happen. And also, 1 just want to take this time to thank you, Mr. Chairman, for your efforts. You know, I listened to the speeches that you make over the years at different groundbreakings and different ceremonies, and it's always about the people of Overtown making sure that their steak is always on the table; that an opportunity for the residents is not passed up. And board members, I want to thank you, also, for supporting our Chairman, as well, when it come down to the project of the community here in Overtown. And I just want to let you know that the things that you've done that's not on this agenda, like Dress for Success, Human Resources, Community Work Training Program, those programs that you fund are the intricate things, because I stand here, a 61-year-old man. The first 30 years, I was -- lived right here in this community. And matter of'fact, I was born and raised here. And the last 31 years of the entire 61 years, I have worked, beat the ground, raised children; did all those things that made Overtown what it is today. And we've -- you know, the rest of the members that are here today and individuals in the community, they've also paved the road to make sure that the people just wasn't left behind. So I just want to thank you all today for making efforts to approve things and items that now provide homeownership, as well as job opportunities, because that's what it's all about. And we can have a lot of what we call structural revitalization, but if it economically don't reach the people, it is all for naught. So we want to marry. And you guys have done an awesome job of doing that, and I know that you're going to do an even greater job in the future of marrying the structural revitalisation with the economic revitalisation, which means the people now take part in the jobs. And I want to thank you very much for your time. Board Member Reyes: Sir -- Can I ask him a question? Chair Hardemon: You may. Mr. Washington: Yes, sir. Board Member Reyes: What's your name, sir? Mr. Washington: Emanuel Washington. Board Member Reyes: Emanuel. Well, I'm Manuel. Mr. Washington: (UNINTELLIGIBLE). Board Member Reyes: Yeah, we are. But let me ask you a question here. You said you are 61 years old? Mr. Washington: Yes, sir. Board Member Reyes: What do you drink, man? I mean, I won't let you out of here until you tell me the secret, you know. Mr. Washington: Well, 1 drink a lot of things. Board Member Reyes: Yeah? Mr. Washington: But 1 drink a lot of the Word of God, so it helps to -- Board Member Reyes: Make a list so I can -- Mr. Washington: -- take the stress off me, too. SEOPW CRA Page 4 Printed on 6/25/2019 Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA Meeting Minutes March 7, 2019 Board Member Reves: -- take some of that, too. Mr. Washington: Yeah. Board Member Reves: Congratulations, sir. You look good. Mr. Washington: Thank you. Chair Hardemon: Is there any further comment from the public? Yolander Worsley: Hello, everyone that's respective places [sic]. My name is Yolander Worsley, Overtown Business Resource Center Manager; 1490 Northwest 3rd Avenue, Suite 106. We are a startup hub, incubator hub for startup businesses. In 2013, Overtown Business Resource Center was established by Leroy Jones of Neighbors and Neighbors Association, with -- the Executive Director -- I'm sorry -- with the idea to provide technical assistance, and -- to small startup businesses, and services -- light clerical services to the community and people abroad, because we do have a lot of customers who come in from Liberty City and all over to use our services. And we are provided solely by --.funded solely by CRA, Community Redevelopment Agency. And although we are not on all of the literature that you see in Overtown, we have not had the official rihbon-cutting and all of that, hut we are -- that's because we are startups. We're not where you are yet. We are startup businesses, so we're not popular, we're not well known, we're not out there. We are starting up: that's what we are. And we do appreciate all that over -- that CRA has done for our businesses. And I can say officially, definitely, for December 1, 2014, we had six incubator businesses. We have -- when we were blessed with the opportunity to move into Suite 106 from 110, which was 975 square feet to 3,200 and -- about 100 square feet, we -- now we went from six to -- we have been able to give office space to at least 53 tenants, business -- small businesses since then. Some left, successfully moved on. They got what they needed and moved on. Some just left. However, Overtown Business Resource Center has been very beneficial to a lot of businesses, small businesses, startup. I have to keep saying that, because we're not -- you know, we appreciate the help that we get, because we really need it. And just -- it was said to me recently that I can only say so much, because I don't live in Overtown; I just come over in Overtown, and collect a paycheck. Well, I want to quay officially, because I moved over here in 1977; lasted two weeks. But I came back in 1997, got a job with Transition, and I have been working in Overtown every [sic] since. So I am officially a "'Towner for Life." And Overtown Business Resource Center really appreciates all and everything that we do. We network with -- I have to say, too, we have been blessed to be able to network with Suited for Success; Human Resources, Ms. Omoaka. And I can -- I just looked back and saw his face -- I cannot go without saying something about Mr. Nathaniel Joseph, because without him, I probably wouldn't still have this job. He has been pushing and twisting and turning and tweaking, and critiquing critically until we get it right. And we are doing much better; and again, with the help of CRA. We couldn't do it without you all. Thank you. And 1 am speaking on Item Number 1, 5566, just in case I didn't get that across. Thank you, CRA, for all that you've done, and all that we are expecting you to do. Thank you. Chair Hardemon: Thank you very much, ma'am. Does anybody else want to give a two minute --? Ijamyn Gray: Yeah, I would like to say something. How you doing? My name Ijamvn Gray. Chairman, 1 just wanted to commend you on the job that you're doing with the CRA in Overtown. You actually are -- it should be mirrored, you know. We looking for something like that in our area; something that actually brings opportunity to the people, and it brings a change, you know. I think what you're doing as far as making true affordable housing for the people living in Overtown and for the people that lives in Overtown; not for nobody else coming from other areas, you know, y'all are building SEOPW CRA Page 5 Printed on 6/25/2019 Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA Meeting Minutes March 7, 2019 something that should be mirrored. And I just want to commend you,, Mr. Shiver and Mr. Nathaniel, on the great job that y'all doing, and 1 hope that y'all continue to do it. Thank you. Chair Hardemon: Thankyou, sir. Thomas Pinder: Good evening. I'm Dr. Thomas Pinder. I'm the President of the City of Miami Black Police Precinct and Courthouse Museum, and I'm here to speak on Item Number 1, specifically, and I want to thank this CRA. And I've seen other CRAs throughout. This is the greatest. And the work that you all have done in coming together -- and I had a chance to meet and speak with Mr. Shiver and his perceptions of what will be done and can be done is outstanding. And particularly to the Chair, I know his personal involvement with the museum, and trying to get things done has been exemplary. This is an outstanding board, and I hope you stay, and you keep doing the work for this community that you have done. Again, this is the greatest CRA around. Thank you very much. Chair Hardemon: Thank you, sir. Seeing no other person here for public comment, I'm going to close public comment at this time. CRA RESOLUTION 1. CRA RESOLUTION 5566 A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF THE SOUTHEAST OVERTOWN/PARK WEST COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY, WITH ATTACHMENT(S) ACCEPTING AND ADOPTING THE EXECUTION OF THE AMENDMENT TO THE 1983 INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF MIAMI, MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, AND THE SOUTHEAST OVERTOWN/PARK WEST COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY, IN SUBSTANTIALLY THE ATTACHED FORM, WITH THE CITY OF MIAMI AND MIAMI-DADE COUNTY. ENACTMENT NUMBER: CRA-R-19-0005 MOTION TO: Adopt with Modification(s) RESULT: ADOPTED WITH MODIFICATION(S) MOVER: Ken Russell, Board Member, District Two SECONDER: Manolo Reyes, Board Member, District Four AYES: Hardemon, Gort, Russell, Reyes ABSENT: Carollo Chair Hardemon: Let's bring our attention now to RE.1. Part of the reason that I want to ensure that we address RE.1 separately is because RE.1 could have -- well, I think that we should discuss details of what was recommended to us by our Executive Director, and I'll allow him to introduce the item, because, of course, this is what's going to be passed on to the County, and I'm sure the County is going to want to have extended discussion regarding it. They may even try to send it back to us to have some amendments being made, but 1 want to ensure that we're on the same page, and we all understand the same details as to what should be included in our request for extension for the Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency). So first, I'll recognize our Executive Director. SEOPW CRA Page 6 Printed on 6/25/2019 Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA Meeting Minutes March 7, 2019 Cornelius Shiver (Executive Director, Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency): Thank you, Chairman. This is a resolution accepting and adopting the amendment to 1983 Interlocal Agreement. In essence, Mr. Board and to the public, this is the final of three documents in furtherance of extending the life of the CRA. This board, back in June 26, 2018, passed an assessment of needs study, or better known as the finding of necessity that shows that there's still blight and slum in Overtown. And in September 24, 2018, this board had the good fortune of passing the amended Redevelopment Plan. And so, now we -- you have before you the Interlocal Agreement, the final document in furtherance of the extended life of the CRA from 2030 to 2042. What we did in this particular agreement is -- of course, we looked at the 1983 agreement and looked -- and took out the dormant -- or projects that already had been completed or stalled. And then we also looked at resolutions passed in the County, as it relates to specific requirements that the County has asked for CRAs. We put those in these -- in this document for your consideration. You want me to continue, Commissioner -- Mr. Chairman -- or just turn it back over to you now? Chair Hardemon: You have anything more you want to add? Mr. Shiver: Well, most of this stuff is pretty much straightforward. There are two provisions I just want to bring to your attention in this particular document. Back in -- I think it was 20 -- 2007 -- the interlocal was a four party agreement: the CRAs, Overtown, the Omni; two taxing authorities, the City and the County. And in that particular agreement, it had what we call a revenue -sharing provision. In that revenue - sharing provision, the -- I guess your predecessors looked at 13 properties, and they identified 13 in the document as projects. And those 13 projects, it was agreed that the CRA in this particular case would remit back 45 percent of the revenues generated on those 13 projects. Let me be specific. It said, 'projects." It was always my contention -- Board Member Reyes: Can you identify those projects? Mr. Shiver: Yes, I can. William Bloom: For the most part, they were large buildings that -- Chair Harderon: Can you introduce yourself for the record, please? And also, speak into the microphone. Mr. Bloom: (UNINTELLIGIBLE). Mr. Shiver: Right. Most of them were in Park West. Board Member Reyes: I remember those. Mr. Shiver: Right; 13 projects. I'm sorry. Chair Hardemon: Whenever you speak, please speak into the microphone, because your microphone is off. And also, introduce yourself for the record. Mr. Bloom: Okay. Mr. Shiver: So in those 13 projects -- right? -- all 13 projects were not built. And so, it's always been my contention that since those projects were not built that the County was not entitled to the 45 percent. But something was built on the location. And so, 1 always thought that was an item that we could litigate; projects versus location. We resolved that in this recommendation. I gave the City, my taxing authorities, the benefit of the doubt on this one, and said, "I'll resolve the project versus location; and therefore, we will now identify those parcels as" -- "by folio numbers." So we resolved that location. SEOPW CRA Page 7 Printed on 6/25/2019 Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA Meeting Minutes March 7, 2019 What we have done is we've removed. from that list any locations and/or projects that we have a TIF (Tax Increment Fund) Agreement and/or anticipate a TIF Agreement. In this case, we have a TIF Agreement with Miami World Center, and we -- now that we have executed a document now with the Marriott Marquis Expo Center, now we have a second TIF Agreement that's in force. Both -- the second agreement on the Expo Center is 100 percent contingent upon extending the life of the CRA. And so, those projects and locations were excluded from the list. And what else I can say about that is -- so that's one major change. Another major change in the original agreement was when the County -- two taxing authorities differ -- Chair Hardemon: Before we move further, I want to at least acknowledge that I know Commissioner Gort has another responsibility he has to attend to, so if he leaves in the middle of discussion, he's not leaving because he's lacking in his duties, but because we usually, have a very quick meeting, and this on.e's just a bit more extended, so he allocated his time -- Mr. Shiver: You want me to hurry, up. Chair Hardemon: Well, I'm not asking you to hurry up. I'm just -- I'm making it plain, for the members of the public that -- Mr. Shiver: Okay. Commissioner Hardemon: -- if he gets up, he has a reason. Board Member Russell: Just for -- be clear. Those -- that agreement with the County is far those projects that the County are also investing on them, right? Mr. Shiver: Right. The County agreed -- Board Member Reyes: That we provide 45 percent of the -- Mr. Shiver: Right. We actually -- Board Member Reves: -- investment. Mr. Shiver: -- what we do is on whatever TIF Agreements that the CRA receives on these Board Member Reyes: Yes. Mr. Shiver: -- we give 45 percent back to the County, and we actually give 45 percent back to the City, as well. The difference in those two "claw -backs, "we call it, is the County has a provision that their 45 percent should he sent -- spent into Overtown. Mr. Bloom: Yeah. Mr. Shiver: The City doesn't have that same provision, by the way. And so -- but we're not going to -- Board Member Reves: (UNINTELLIGIBLE). Mr. Shiver: 1 know. But I just want you to know that still exists. And so, that's one of the things that we -- let me end by saying this: One of the things that I think that I would like the board to weigh in on is the County is looking for support from this CRA in some public housing developments, developing their public housing development, the mixed - use, mixed -income developments; the same thing they're doing in Liberty City. SEOPW CRA Page 8 Printed on 6/25/2019 Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA Meeting Minutes March 7, 2019 Board Member Reyes: Yes. Mr. Shiver: And they've looking for -- Board Member Reyes: That's going to be in Overtown. Mr. Shiver: But they're looking for some support from this CRA. So one of the things I want the board to consider is, how do we come up with the money with that support? Do we give -- in their 45 percent, do they then put that toward those housing developments? That's something that 1 think should be resolved by this board on how -- if they want that commitment from the CRA, and it would he my recommendation, Mr. Chairman -- Board Member Reyes: Does this have to be resolved today -- Mr. Shiver: No. Board Member Reyes: -- or we still have time to analyze it and see which one it will benefit us the most? Mr. Shiver: Well, I -- Chair Hardem.on: Before we go further into it, if Commissioner Gort has anything he wants to add on the record -- Vice Chair Gort: Yeah, 1 want to add something. Chair Hardemon: -- I'll let him do it. Vice Chair Gort: I want you to state -- because we talked a lot about the Miami World Center. Mr. Shiver: Okay. Vice Chair Gort: They cannot make impact if the Miami World Center will arrive by this extension. Mr. Shiver: Right. Vice Chair Gort: Because I think it's important for people to understand that. Mr. Shiver: You want to take that, Bill, or you want me to take it? Mr. Bloom: You take it. Mr. Shiver: Okay. Wow, you would give that to me. The Miami World Center -- we already have an agreement with Miami World Center, and they have an additional agreement, and they get additional dollars on the extension. But there is a separate project a lot of people confuse with Miami World Center; it's the Miami World Center Expo Convention Center. That agreement is 100 percent dependent upon extending the life of the CRA. That, in my opinion, is one of the best development agreements that we've negotiated on behalf of the CRA in this community, Mr. Chairman, and thank you for your support on that. We have responsible wages; we have jobs; we have job opportunities in there; just a great agreement. I'll stop right there. SEOPW CRA Page 9 Printed on 6/25/2019 Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA Meeting Minutes March 7, 2019 Board Member Reyes: Could you please explain why it is contingent on the extension? Is that because we are going to provide a substantial amount of funds if it is -- we are entering an partnershipwith Marriott? Mr. Shiver: Yes, yes. Historically -- Board Member Reyes: Well, I mean, because they're very different. Are we just giving money away, or we are going to receive something in return? Mr. Shiver: Let me do this. And Mr. Chairman, you're probably more abreast on this, so if I'm drowning, throw me a life -- Historically, around the country, when you look at convention centers, expo centers, they are subsidized, for the most part, because of the big economic impact it has on the cities or the municipalities. I know, Mr. Chairman, you guys visited some similar venues in Los Angeles; that's why I want you to help me on this one. But -- Board Member Reyes: He didn't take you on the trip, right? Mr. Shiver: -- and so, in looking at that, there is a -- and that's why the County is highly supportive of this, because of the economic and regional impact of bringing a Marriott Marquis Expo Center. We don't even -- it is only on a small site, .co we can't consider it to be a convention center. And so, in furtherance of that, it is in our best interest to put some money into it. Let me explain this -- and I got to explain this one, Commissioner. Board Member Reyes: Is the County putting any money on it? Mr. Bloom: No. Mr. Shiver: Let me explain. Board Member Reyes: Then why they are so interested on it? Board Member Russell: Because they -- Board Member Reves: They should put their money where their mouth is. Mr. Bloom: Right now, according to the Global Agreement -- Board Member Reves: Yes, sir. Mr. Bloom: -- the County would receive 45 percent -- Board Member Reyes: From the 45 percent that they receive, they're going to place us -- Mr. Bloom: (UNINTELLIGIBLE). And so what we're saying to them is -- Board Member Reves: That's what I was going to say. Mr. Bloom: -- "Look, this is a CRA project that we're sponsoring, and we want the County to give up any right to receive any dollars from the CRA associated with this project. " Board Member Reyes: Okay. Mr. Bloom: (UNINTELLIGIBLE). SEOPW CRA Page 10 Printed on 6/25/2019 Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA Meeting Minutes March 7, 2019 Board Member Reyes: I got it. What you are trying to do is that the County relinquish the 45 percent that they were receiving in exchange for us to go ahead and promote that development. Mr. Bloom: That's correct. Chair Hardemon: Right. So I want to explain something. From the very first time that the 45 percent claw -back was enacted, what it did was it took money from the CRA. The CRA was created to put all of its resources back into the redevelopment area; and so, that is why you have the new buildings that you have; that is why you have the businesses that have these grants that help them do bigger and better things; that is why you have the support programs and the training, et cetera. Well, the sharing -- or the claw -back takes money directly out of that pot. So, for instance, over the past maybe two years or so, we've been operating with less money than we would have, because we've had to share or give back that money to the County and to the City of Miami. So what that means is that people who thought that, okay, well, maybe there's a project that we could do, but we don't have the funding for, because we're operating on less funding than we were two years ago; and so, that's why we've been super focused on what we've promised already, and tried to implement things that we believe are necessary to ensure there is a change that is welcome in the Overtown area now. So what happens is, through this agreement, we're saying, "Look, we don't believe that the CR" -- "that the County will give us back a percentage of" -- 'percentages on the claw -back." But what we're saying to them is that, "Look, instead of you taking a percentage on the claw -back and money from the CRA for that project through a TIF, if that project has a TIF, then you don't get any money from the claw -back on that project, because that means that the CRA would not be inuring any benefit, whatsoever, by that new development being built." Every time a new development is built that generates more tax revenue, that's more revenue that we can use in the CRA to fund affordable housing, to provide business training, to incentivize businesses coming to our neighborhood, right? The MDM -- the Convention Center is a wonderful thing, because what it does is it attracts people from all over the nation to the Overtown area. Board Member Russell: Mr. Chairman? Chair Hardemon: And when you do that -- I'll recognize you just after this last statement. When you do that, you're able to benefit businesses that are around, or create businesses, because there may be a need for grounds keeping; there may be a need for valet parking; there may be a need for laundry services; there may be a need for childcare services. All these things are created when a convention center comes around. So if you imagine ever going to a convention and all of the things that you see that make that convention or hotel work, the people who either reside in Overtown, who do business in Overtown have a new opportunity to bring new things. And the County wants that, because they get a certain tax dollar back on the convention center. You're recognized. Board Member Russell: I'd like to move the item, and I have a question. Chair Hardemon: It's been properly moved by -- I know there may be -- Board Member Russell: We can have further discussion. I just want -- 1 know we may lose Commissioner Gort, so I at least wanted to get on the record -- Chair Hardemon: Right. Board Member Russell: (UNINTELLIGIBLE). Chair Hardemon: Right. SEOPW CRA Page 11 Printed on 6/25/2019 Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA Meeting Minutes March 7, 2019 Vice Chair Gort: Mr. Chairman? Chair Hardemon: You're recognized, sir. Vice Chair Gort: The question was -- then I'll finish the answer -- for the last 20 years, 25 years, downtown, the DDA (Downtown Development Authority) has been looking in the City of Miami and Miami -Dade County to bring a convention center in the City of Miami, and the reason being, all of us that go to the different conventions and look at the economic impact they can -- it creates is terrific. Mr. Bloom: Yes. Vice Chair Gort: Most important, it's right next to Overtown. So that's not only going to improve the economic development in there, but that economic development will develop into this area, too. Like, we have a lot of festivals that we're going to put together in Overtown. But let's make -- we got to make sure that people come to those festivals. We got to mix the attractions that we put in so people can see what a beautiful place we have here, and how much better it can be. So, to me, a convention center is the most important. Board Member Reyes: Yes, sir. Chair Hardemon: So in the -- I want to bring our attention to the composition of the Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA Board of Commissioners. It was recommended to us that the composition of this board change from five to nine Commissioners. 1 don't believe that that is something that we should do. 1 think that it's problematic for how we go about handling business on this dais. The -- what was proposed are two additional Commissioners who are appointed from the County, from -- and then two Commissioners who are appointed through the D5 office. Even though that gives me an additional -- as 1 sit now in the -- it won't be me at the -- in the future -- but even though it's beneficial to the district Commissioner to have two members placed on the board that represent his interests, and even -- for instance, if I'm the County Commissioner in the future, there's two positions that I may appoint if I was the County Commissioner. I don't believe that it's the right thing to do, because I think that it's going to complicate the business of the CRA, and it's going to make things very difficult for the members of the community to reach manifest the benefit from the CRA. So instead of thinking of it -- I would only say selfishly, in the sense of it being to the best benefit of the district Commissioners who are in the County and the City, I think that it needs to always be and have deference to the business that needs to be done by the CRA. So what I would recommend is striking Section 16 that says the composition of the Board of Commissioners would increase. We know that in the County, they have a policy -- it's only a policy -- that says that they want to add two -- at least two different Commissioners to new boards when there is a change to a board; however, they don't always follow that policy. They didn't follow it in two instances that I'm aware of most recently. And so, I think that because of the way this board has been composed, and the history that this community has that this board should be allowed to continue to exist with the existing membership the way that it's spelled out. So that is one of the changes that want to ensure is made. And also -- Board Member Reyes: That is it be only two more? Chair Hardemon: -- no, no. So it would be no more. Board Member Reyes: No more. Chair Hardemon: It is what it is. Mr. Bloom: So, to clarify, what you're saying is delete completely Paragraph 16? SEOPW CRA Page 12 Printed on 6/25/2019 Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA Meeting Minutes March 7, 2019 Chair Hardemon: That's correct. Board Member Reyes: I agree with you. Chair Hardemon: And the -- Board Member Reves: He's already seconded the motion. Board Member Russell: I don't -- has the motion been seconded? Board Member Reves: Yes, sir; it's been seconded. Chair Hardemon: Take it from the Chair -- well, Commissioner Reyes will second the motion. The -- and then the other thing that I want to be sure of that we talked about was that the 45 percent that is share -- the projects that are listed in the priority projects, especially the ones that have to do with the redevelopment of Culmer Gardens, Culmer Place -- that's Section "F" -- I want to ensure that we're negotiating that the 45 percent that the County is receiving back from the claw -back, that they invest those dollars into the public housing, so that that becomes the commitment that the County makes -- Board Member Reves: Second that. Chair Hardemon: -- instead of trying to seek additional dollars. Mr. Bloom: Commissioner, that is included in Section 11 already, in reference to Section 6. -- 6F is the County -owned projects that we're going to support, and it requires -- Board Member Reyes: (UNINTELLIGIBLE). Mr. Bloom: -- the County to use their money jbr those projects. Board Member Reves: (UNINTELLIGIBLE). Chair Hardemon: Is there any other amendment that's needed to the document? Board Member Reyes: That's right; it is included. It is included already but that's a good (UNINTELLIGIBLE). Board Member Russell: Just a question, Chair. Chair Hardemon: You got a question? Board Member Russell: Yes, thank you. On the revenue -sharing, 1 understand it as you described it, and it seems to be written very well. The only part I don't see in here that was mentioned was how the 45 percent would not be included on TIF deals. Is that in here already? Because I don't see that. Mr. Bloom: It's in the exhibit where we deleted the projects where they have the claw - backs, so to the extent the convention center, for example, was included, that was deleted from the exhibit. Board Member Russell.: But -- so it shouldn't be in Paragraph 11? That only applies to - Mr. Bloom: No. It's referencing the ones on Exhibit "B." And if you look at the -- SEOPW CRA Page 13 Printed on 6/25/2019 Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA Meeting Minutes March 7, 2019 Board Member Russell: I do understand. Okay, yeah, yeah. I got you. Mr. Bloom: -- Exhibit "B," that's where they were taken out. The other one that wasn't mentioned before, we also took out the FEC (Florida East Coast) project where the City's going to he issuing bonds which are guaranteed by the CRA -- I think it's about 17 and a half million dollars -- to support the TriRail Station. That was also taken out. Board Member Reves: How much? How much? Mr. Bloom: I believe it's a little more than 17 and a half million dollars. Board Member Reves: 17 million, 1-7? Chair Hardemon: Is there any other discussion on the issue? We know Commissioner Gort can -- he can vote all the way to the door if he has to. Is -- Board Member Russell: Mover accepts the amendment regarding the board members in the Paragraph 16 deletion. Chair Hardemon: Okay. Board Member Reves: Second that. Chair Hardemon: And the -- and there's no other -- I also want this to be known: That, you know, the priority projects that are listed, some of them have a dollar amount to them, but the ones that do not have dollar amounts, that means that there has not been a dollar amount that has been negotiated just yet for that, right? Mr. Bloom: Right. Chair Hardemon: Okay. Seeing no further discussion on the items on the dais, all in favor of the motion, say "aye." The Board (Collectively): Aye. Chair Hardemon: All against? Motion carries. Todd B. Hannon (Clerk of the Board): And Chair, just for the record, "with attachments" will be taken out of the title, for RE.1. Board Member Reyes: And Mr. Chair, I want you to make sure that this gentleman, when he places those housing units on the market that it's based on City of Miami AMI -- Chair Hardemon: Meeting adjourned. Board Member Reves: -- and you make it affordable for these people here. Mr. Shiver: You got it.

ENACTMENT NUMBER: CRA-R-19-0006 MOTION TO: Adopt RESULT: ADOPTED MOVER: Ken Russell, Board Member, District Two SECONDER: Keon Hardemon, Board Member, District Five AYES: Hardemon, Gort, Russell, Reyes ABSENT: Carollo Chair Hardemon: If I may, I want to -- let's not first address RE.1. If we can -- if there's any discussion on any of the items from RE.2 through RE.7, let's have discussion and/or take a vote on those items. So is there any discussion regarding 2 through 7? Cornelius Shiver (Executive Director, Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency): If there's none, Mr. Chairman, I'd like to put something on the record before you vote. Chair Hardemon: Okay. Mr. Shiver: I would just like to amend item -- I guess Number 5, because you're not voting -- I actually want to amend Item 1 and 5 to remove the attachments from the title. This is not -- its' not a substantial amendment, hut -- You're with me on that; right, Todd? Chair Hardemon: Well, I'm misunderstanding you. Are you talking 1 or 5? Mr. Shiver: 1 and 5. Chair Hardemon: All right. Let's talk about 5 (UNINTELLIGIBLE). Mr. Shiver: It's just 5, then, on this particular case. Chair Hardemon: What's the issue with 5? Mr. Shiver: Apparently, there are some attachments that should be removed from the title. Todd B. Hannon (Clerk of the Board): No. Essentially, Chair, there's a reference to, "with attachments," but there's not an exhibit that's essential to the legislation; it's just SEOPW CRA Page 15 Printed on 6/25/2019 Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA Meeting Minutes March 7, 2019 backup documentation. So "with attachments" can be taken out of the legislation. It's a - - and it's not a substantial change to the legislation. Chair Hardemon: So it's a title change? Mr. Hannon: Yes, sir. Board Member Reves: Okay. And you know that I was going to jump on that. Mr. Shiver: I mean, that's exactly what I thought I was saying. Board Member Reves: Okay. On Item Number 5, you see, I am -- I know this is going to be -- how many units are going to be built; four, right? Mr. Shiver: Item Number 5 -- let me just switch to it, Number 5. Board Member Reves: It is a contract to build. Mr. Shiver: Right. This is going to be a twin home, so it's two units -- Board Member Reyes: Two units. Mr. Shiver: -- homeownership -- Board Member Reyes: Yes. Mr. Shiver: -- on property that was conveyed to the CRA from the City -- Board Member Reyes: Yes. Mr. Shiver: -- specifically, the City of Miami Office of Economic Community Development. And so, these will be affordable housing units. And the last thing 1'l1 say about it is I think at your last board meeting, there was a measure passed extending the time that we can get these things built, because they sat around a long time. Board Member Reyes: But you said the magic word, "affordable." Mr. Shiver: Right. Board Member Reyes: "Affordable." And that means that we're going to have -- how much is you going to charge -- I mean it's going to cost per unit? Mr. Shiver: I think what we're -- how much is it going to cost -- Board Member Reves: Because I want to -- Mr. Shiver: -- or how nauch the units are going to cost to the end user? Board Member Reyes: 1 am --1 want to make myself clear. You know that I am -- since the first day that I came to this board, I've been an advocate of homeownership for Overtown and for residents of Overtown, you see. But in order for the residents of Overtown to be able to purchase housing and stay here in Overtown, not going nowhere, it has to be affordable. And "affordable" means that it is at a price that they can manage, that they can pay, you see. And we are -- we're spending on four units $750,000? Mr. Shiver: Exactly. SEOPW CRA Page 16 Printed on 6/25/2019 Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA Meeting Minutes March 7, 2019 Board Member Reves: So how much is that going to be per unit? Mr. Shiver: Oh, for -- you mean the amount? Board Member Reves: Yeah. How much are you going to sell it for? Mr. Shiver: I think we -- Chair Hardemon: We haven't determined a price to sell it, just to be very clear. And remember, we're not in this to make a profit. Board Member Reves: Yes. Chair Hardemon: So -- Board Member Reves: What 1 was going to suggest is even if we take a loss that we have to make -- or another thing is, how much are we -- I mean, being charged per square foot? Mr. Shiver: I think, if I'm not mistaken, it's -- yes. I'm going to let the Director Development come up here. of Board Member Reves: I want to make sure that it is affordable; that's my main question. Mr. Shiver: 1 can answer the questions, but I pay him to deal with this. Board Member Reyes: You pay him to do that? Okay. Mr. Shiver: Put your name on the record, Brian, and your title, please. Brian Zeltsman: Good evening, Commissioners. I'm Brian Zeltsman, Director of Development. So that's a rendering of the twin home in Item Number 5. A little knowledge on the project: It 4,000 square foot. Each home is 2,000 square feet, approximately, and they're three bedroom, two and a half bath, each, so they're quite large. We're targeting one family at 50 percent AMI (average median income), and one family at 60 percent AMI Board Member Reyes: When vou say, "AMI," which one vou using? Mr. Zeltsman: We are using the County, and -- Board Member Reves: No, sir. Mr. Zeltsman: -- that consistent with the -- Board Member Reves: You cannot use the County here. You cannot use the County. I'm sorry, sir. I'm sorry. You see, the County AMI is 50-some thousand dollars. Mr. Zeltsman: Understood. Board Member Reyes: And I know this area very well. I was the economist that was working with Herb Bailey when this CRA was -- you see, I know him. And we don't have If we're going to make it affordable, we have to use their AMI, you see; what it is, the AMI right here, you see, which is not 51,000 -- $55,000. It is not, sir. I'm sorry. Chair Hardemon: So, Commissioner, that's why, you know, we have not made a decision to sell at a certain price just yet. That's something that should be left to the board in SEOPW CRA Page 17 Printed on 6/25/2019 Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA Meeting Minutes March 7, 2019 determining what the price structure should be for each home. They're sizable homes, as we know it -- Board Member Reyes: Yes, sir. Chair Hardemon: -- to be included in the Overtown area. And at three bedrooms, two baths, we look forward to putting some families into those units. I don't foresee someone -- even a single person living in that space. I mean, I see that as a family structure; woman, father, children. You don't need a father, you don't need a woman, but you should have some children to be in there with you. Board Member Russell: Mr. Chairman? Chair Hardemon: You're recognized, sir. Board Member Russell: I'd like to move Items 2 through 7, please. Chair Hardemon: The -- it's been properly moved; seconded by the Chair. However, I do want to ensure that the amendment that was for -- Board Member Russell: Amendment accepted. Chair Hardemon: -- 5 is included; but also, I had another amendment. The -- on RE.7, right now, the way that it is funded, there is a flat cost of the five-year agreement for the Music and Arts Festival, and 1 want to see -- don't want -- Over the years, we've always increased the amount of money that we've put in grants; not only to the festival, but also to other entities, such as New Washington Heights, RE.3. I mean, they've also increased. So I want to include that there's a 5 percent increase starting year 2020, with each year that is included for the agenda item. Board Member Reyes: I understand why Mr. Russell is moving it. I have anything against extending it [sic]. As a matter of fact, I think that it is fine. And it is fine, because in this case, there's still a lot of blight in this area, and that's why the CRA was created; to eliminate slum and blight. And still exists, okay? And there's a lot of things I -- a lot have to be done. But I want to make sure that any construction that is going to be built for -- to -- I mean, for homeownership -- that it is at a price that is attainable by the people that live in Overtown. And if we are paying $200 a square foot, that we are paying $200 for construction costs, I think that's a little bit too high. And also, I think that we are not in the business -- I agree with you, Mr. Chairman -- I -- we are not in the business of making money. And I want to make sure before a vote here that we are going to sell this based on the AMI of the people of Overtown; not Dade County. And this is the .fight that I have been -- I mean, started when I first got elected, see, in the City of Miami. We talk about affordable. Affordable for whom? For whom? Chair Hardemon: Mr. Executive Director -- Board Member Reyes: It has to be affordable, and before I vote, I want a commitment that this is going to be really affordable for people that live in Overtown, you see. Chair Hardemon: -- the language that's included in this -- in RE.5 -- is it 5? Yes. The language that's included in RE.5, my first question far you is, does it include permission to sell, or is it only -- you're asking for permission to build? Mr. Shiver: Right now, we're just asking for permission to bid [sic]. Chair Hardemon: Okay. So can you give us a commitment that when you do -- when you are ready to sell -- because I don't believe you can sell any of our assets without our SEOPW CRA Page 18 Printed on 6/25/2019 Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA Meeting Minutes March 7, 2019 authority -- that you'll create a resolution and bring it back before this board, and ensure that it is affordable to people who live in the Overtown area to afford that new complex? Mr. Shiver: Yes, sir. Board Member Reyes: Even at a loss. Chair Hardemon: Even at a loss. Board Member Reves: Even at a loss. Mr. Shiver: Even at a loss. Board Member Reyes: That's right. Mr. Shiver: And let me just add real fast, on Item Number 2, that we're doing a vacant lot for a quadplex. In that quadplex, we'll get a cross-section of mixed income to that, including elderly and all the very low and low. One of the most important things about a CRA and what makes it such a powerful development, too, Commissioner, is we can take the local median income in consideration in everything that we do. So I appreciate direction and your leadership on all of this. Thank you. Board Member Reyes: And in order to finish -- because I want to go back home, you know, and feel my conscience clean -- Chair Hardemon: Yeah. Board Member Reves: -- that I did everything that I could for people to have a -- be able to buy the houses, you see. And I want also the commitment that when we are -- because I know we're going to keep on -- and I'm going to keep on pushing for homeownership and affordable housing in this area for people that -- who are living here -- Chair Hardemon: Yeah. Board Member Reves: -- and people that even moved and want to come back. But I want to make sure that we --when we assign the contract for those builders that they're going to build this that we assign it to one that has experience and the construction cost is not as steep, because I think $200 per square feet -- per square foot is quite steep; I mean, quite steep. And that's probably in Coral Gables, it's good, but not in Overtown. Chair Hardemon: Commissioner Gort. Vice Chair Gort: My understanding, we do qualify with the CDBG (Community Development Block Grant) funds; we do. My understanding is we have a program with CDBG where you can get the first mortgage, and you can get up to $95, 000 for, first-time homebuyers. So when you put all that together, you can combine that and you can make a price -- Board Member Reyes: Yeah. Vice Chair Gort: -- affordable price by doing -- applying all those benefits that we have. Board Member Reyes: But still, I want us to use the City of Miami AM1. Board Member Russell: Mr. Chairman? Chair Hardemon: Yes. SEOPW CRA Page 19 Printed on 6/25/2019 Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA Meeting Minutes March 7, 2019 Board Member Russell: Mover accepts amendments for Number 5 and 7. Chair Hardemon: Thank you very much. Is there any further discussion? Hearing none, all in favor of the motion, say "aye." The Board (Collectively): Aye. Chair Hardemon: All against?
