The meeting was called to order by Chair Hardemon at 12:15 p.m., and was adjourned at 12:40 p.m. ALSO PRESENT: Cornelius Shiver, Executive Director, CRA Chanel Jefferson, Staff Counsel, CRA Rafael Suarez Rivas, Assistant City Attorney, Supervisor Todd B. Hannon, Clerk of the Board CRA PUBLIC COMENTS Chair Hardemon: Decorum, please. Welcome to the June 27, 2019 meeting of the Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency. The members of the City Commission that are board members of this body, are present before us, are Commissioner Reyes, Commissioner Ken Russell, and also Commissioner Gort, as well as myself; the Chairman. If there is any -- what I'd like to do is open up the public comment for today's agenda, which is RE.1 through 11. Is there anyone from the public that would like to speak on the agenda for Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency? You're recognized, please, sir. (UNINTELLIGIBLE). Good morning. You have two minutes to address this body. Please say your first name, your last name; you may state your address, and what item it is that you're supporting. Stephen Gilmore: Thank you. Chair Hardemon: You're recognized, sir. Mr. Gilmore: Good afternoon, Commissioners. I'rn Stephen Gilmore. I'm the interim Executive Director of Transition, Inc. I reside at 1480 Northwest 87th Terrace, Miami, Florida 33147, as the interim Executive Director of Transition. And on behalf of my colleagues, I'd like to thank the Commissioners for giving us this opportunity to speak just very briefly with you. We were excited and delighted to meet with Commissioner Hardemon earlier this month regarding the -- regarding financial support for our institution. As many of you know, Transition, Inc., which is located in the heart of Overtown, provides employment opportunities to returning citizens, ex -offenders or non - offenders. We offer resume development, mock interview, job referral and job placement services. Each year our organization provides over 900 meaningful employment opportunities for Miami -Dade residents. At this moment, Transition could benefit from your support. We reached out to the CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency) for assistance, and they heard our call. While we may not be on today's agenda, we look forward to your support next month. We urge you to support our community partners, Urgent, Inc.; Girl Power; Human Resources of Miami, Inc.; and Neighbors and Neighbors Association, because, like Transition, they are worthwhile endeavors, and our community really needs those resources in Overtown. On behalf of our board of directors; our Chair, David Tucker; our board members, Lola Capers and Pastor Brian SEOPW CRA Page 1 Printed on 9/16/2022 Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA Meeting Minutes June 27, 2019 Dennis, I thank you for this opportunity. We will humbly resubmit our proposal to the Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA, and we look forward to seeing you next month. Thank you so very much. Chair Hardemon: Thank you. Is there anyone else that would like to speak? Brian Dennis: My, name is Reverend Brian Dennis. I'm at 821 Northwest 54th Street. I just want to thank you, Commissioner Hardemon. and Mr. Shiver, for meeting with our Executive Director, and considering us. We know that your staff and your office is really busy, but I really, really, really do appreciate the effort that was put forth through your staff and through your Chief of Staff,' Mr. James McQueen, and how they move. I also want to thank Mr. Joseph for being a part of the CRA and the movement, and what they're doing in trying to help businesses in Overtown. So I just want to commend you all on a job well done, and good luck with what you're doing. Chair Hardemon: Thank you very much. Is there any other person for public comment? Charles Cutler: Good afternoon, gentlemen. I just want to exhibit what -- I'm a long- time Overtown resident, and in lieu of a lot of organizations that's coming in now -- like, I came from labor, so I'm familiar with what they're doing in terms of their intake, in terms of the entire process. My point is, is that you got to make sure that the community is truly engaged in whatever process, whatever fimding vehicles that you put together in lieu of the Southeast Overtown tax increment funds, because you got to remember that that money -- well, the concept is to eliminate slum and blight, and to provide employment and training opportunities .for people within -- the residents within the community. So we have to -- I think we have to be very careful about that, because we've done employment in the community, also. And a lot of times, what's happening, because of the way that the City of Miami advertise by way of the internet, we have people outside of the community coming in, where in other neighborhoods, they might not have the same luxury of a CRA that we have, and they come in and take advantage of the opportunities that was initially earmarked, for people that -- for a specific targeted group, which is the residents for Overtown, to give them some -- to help them to build infrastructure and capacity so that they'll have some leverage for growth and development, because of what is happening to us historically through the 195 project and through segregation, and a lot of other issues that we've had, which -- even when it comes down to redlining. Just like a lot of property owners in the CRA District, and even in this -- even in Coconut Grove -- a lot of those original property owners have been driven out, because they wasn't able to secure loans to do improvements on their property. And a lot of times, they have to sell out at lower prices, and a lot of those properties have been acquired by developers. So what we're talking about is neighborhoods. The way that they looked 20 years ago is not the same dynamics that currently exist today. So my whole point in terms of this particular item, we got to make sure that we empower the local residents, because you got to teach people to hurt -- to help themselves. You don't always keep bringing people from the outside, because, number one, they don't have the same passion, and they really don't have any commitment for the growth and development of that community -- Chair Hardemon: Thank you, sir. Mr. Cutler: -- so I think we have to be very careful about that; just bringing in people to serve the community, and really that -- it's really not fair. Chair Hardemon: Thank you, sir. Your time has expired. Seeing no further persons here for public comment -- Ms. Bell, you're recognized. Jackie Bell: Jackie Bell, 1600 Northwest 3rd Avenue. Most of you know me. I've stood before this podium since 1973 about Overtown. Well, today I have a problem with the CRA, and I'm going to leave it up to my Commissioner to settle it. I do not want to talk -- bring trash publicly. So, Commissioner Hardemon, I have notified you, so would you please settle it for me? Thank you. SEOPW CRA Page 2 Printed on 9/16/2022 Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA Meeting Minutes June 27, 2019 Chair Hardemon: Thank you. Seeing no other person here for public comment, I'm going to close public comment at this time. CRA RESOLUTIONS 1. CRA RESOLUTION 6136 A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF THE SOUTHEAST OVERTOWN/ PARK WEST COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY ("BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS"), ACCEPTING AND ADOPTING THE MASTER PLAN OF THE OVERTOWN ENTERTAINMENT AND CULTURAL DISTRICT CREATED BY PERKINS + WILL, INC.; AND REIMBURSING FOR COSTS LION 12TH & 3RD, LLC, IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $300,000.00. ALLOCATING FUNDS FROM SEOPW, "OTHER PROFESSIONAL SERVICES," ACCOUNT CODE NO. 10050.920101.531000.0000.00000 ENACTMENT NUMBER: CRA-R-19-0017 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: I know that there was some amendments that were being requested by Commissioner Reyes. Can you state what those amendments are on the record, please? Board Member Reyes: As a matter offact, in my opinion -- I mean, I -- yesterday, I sat with Mr. Shriver [sic], and we went one by one with all of them. I support all of them. But on Item 2, the housing units that were built, I strongly suggested that in order -- I hear what the gentleman was saying about trying to keep Overtown residents in Overtown; that those townhomes that they were going to -- or housing units -- that they were sold -- going to be sold -- that they be offered at a price that will be accessible for people that live in Overtown. Therefore, what I did, I suggested and I would like to include is that they be sold to people that their income is 40 percent or less of the AMI (area median income), the County AMI -- that would be around $20,000 -- that they -- their earnings, and they will be able to buy those units and stay in Overtown, you see? That is my suggestion. Another suggestion in Item 6 -- Chair Hardemon: Could it be a range? Because when you say -- Board Member Reyes: I would say lower than 40 percent, because if you get -- What is the MAI [sic] of Overtown and Liberty City? It's around $18, 000. Chair Hardemon: Right. Board Member Reyes: You see? It's around $80,000 [sic]. If you offer this to families that they're making, I mean, $22,000 or something like that, which is about -- $22,000 is 40 percent of County AMI. Chair Hardemon: The reason I said that to you is because not everybody who lives in Overtown is poor; and so, there are many people who live in Overtown who have very good jobs. SEOPW CRA Page 3 Printed on 9/16/2022 Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA Meeting Minutes June 27, 2019 Board Member Reyes: Yeah. Chair Hardemon: Many people who live in Overtown, their families make enough money to support them -- Board Member Reyes: Well -- Chair Hardemon: -- et cetera. All I'm saying is this: In Overtown and other places that I represent that we have an inundation of affordable housing, and I think that it's necessary for us to have affordable housing. And so, we've created lots of products in Overtown that encourage affordable housing, extremely low income, low income, et cetera. And so, when we talk about homeownership -- right? Board Member Reyes: Yes, sir; yes, sir; yes, sir. Chair Hardemon: We want everyone on the spectrum to be able to own a home. And all -- and so, all I'm saying is that if we are very specific about the number, then there may be a spectrum that we are not allowing to move into those spaces. So -- Board Member Reyes: Well, what do you suggest; that will be from people that making $30,000 below -- Chair Hardemon: So what I'm saying is -- Board Member Reyes: -- or 25,000 below? Chair Hardemon: -- no. So when you say, "40 percent of the AMI," all I'm saying is that if -you go 40 percent of the AMI to 110. And the reason I say that -- Board Member Reyes: No. Chair Hardemon: No, no, hear what I'm saying to you. The reason I'm saying that is because there are people who may live in Overtown, who are renting in Overtown and who want to own a home in Overtown, and they work, .for instance, for the City of Miami or for the County. And so, if that family is making -- if you're making $40,000 -- right? -- you can't afford to move into affordable housing, because they don't -- they won't allow you in. You -- but you can't afford to buy -- or to rent a market -rate space. And so, those people get -- they get pushed to worse quality housing products. And so, what I'm saying is that if you give someone who makes $40,000 an opportunity to live in a space called Overtown and -- the same way you give extra opportunities for those who don't make $40, 000 to live in spaces in Overtown, because we have a plethora of housing products. So all I'm saying is that I don't know who -- or where it fits in there, but just give them the option. Board Member Reyes: But let me give you the numbers. Let me give you the number. If you go to 110, 100 percent, 110 percent of County AMI, you will -- you go all the way to 60,500, you see? You're talking about $40,000. $40,000 will be around 80 percent of -- 70 percent of AMI. Chair Hardemon: So you're saying the total County AMI. You're not saying specifically to the space. Board Member Reyes: Well, then we will have to use -- because then we will have to use the City AMI. Board Member Russell: We don't. SEOPW CRA Page 4 Printed on 9/16/2022 Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA Meeting Minutes June 27, 2019 Board Member Reyes: And City AMI is about $35, 000. And when you go to 100 percent of City AMI, although the debt falls into that category -- or 110 will fall in the category of $40,000. Chair Hardemon: Yeah. And I want you to understand this, as well. Board Member Reves: But what -- Chair Hardemon: You and I see eye to eye on this issue. And so, a sale of a property from Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA does not move forward without this board. And so, you know, we have an opportunity to have that discussion. All I'm saying is that I don't want to -- I want that space -- Look, when I travel on 7th Avenue -- I know Commissioner Gort travels it quite often, as well -- from 14th Street north, and we have a partner in homelessness assistance, and that's called Camillus House. But they're the worst neighbors I've ever seen when you -- Board Member Reves: Mm-hmm. Chair Hardemon: -- because all of their clients seem to be -- are living to the east and to the west of 7th Avenue. Board Member Reyes: Yeah. Chair Hardemon: And so, where we in the City of Miami have spent millions of dollars to make a space for people to enter and to have food and shelter and medicine, and beds, et cetera, you know, it's very difficult, right? And so, all I'm saying is that in those spaces, I want to be able to attract people who -- like the individual that spoke earlier. You know, you have some young kids that were from -- that were at University of Miami Law School -- right? -- who don't -- they don't have income right now. But say they come out, and they want to walk to and from the Public Defender's Office or the State Attorney's Office. Board Member Reyes: Okay. Chair Hardemon: They won't be able to buy a space -- Board Member Reyes: Okay. Chair Hardemon: -- for -- Board Member Reyes: Okay. Chair Hardemon: -- to live in Overtown. Board Member Reves: But -- Chair Hardemon: So all I'm saying is that we should do that. Board Member Reyes: -- if -- what it is confusing is the percentage of AMI. I -- why don't you suggest a top, an earning top -- range, you see, from $50,000 down, $40,000 down; people that earn -- their earnings is $40,000, because there is a misnomer, sir, and I want to clarify this. Every time that we talk about affordable housing, if we call affordable housing that -- housing that is going to be offered to people that are making 140 percent of AMI, those are people that are making $77,000. Chair Hardemon: And -- Board Member Reyes: If it's 110, it's 60,500. How many people make that? SEOPW CRA Page 5 Printed on 9/16/2022 Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA Meeting Minutes June 27, 2019 Chair Hardemon: -- I get that. It's about -- but 1 don't want -- this -- We are not developers. So when we (UNINTELLIGIBLE) -- Board Member Reyes: Sure. Chair Hardemon: -- give a range, we're not going to go immediately to the top of that range. Board Member Reyes: That's right. Chair Hardemon: You see what I'm saying? Developers, you give them a range, and they're going to do as much as they can to have as many people at the top of the range in that space. That's not what we're in the mission of doing. You know, what I'm saying is that I want to at least give residents an option. The spaces where these -- and I'll be honest with you. The spaces where these -- this housing is being built, it is not the most desirable space in Overtown. It has complications. They're going to be met with residents who live nearer, because of the buildings and what -- some activity is done that's not desirous. So only certain people come to visit the space. Real 'Towners are going to be -- only real 'Towners are going to be able to say, "This is home." Board Member Reyes: Yes. Yeah. I -- Chair Hardemon: So I want to be -- I want that to be known. But what I'm saying is that I want to be able to encourage people who live in this -- to live in this space, and I want to just open up the range, because it's not going to be -- Board Member Reves: Could you be more specific, the range that you have in mind? Chair Hardemon: That's why I -- the range that I said was from 40 -- I said 110 percent, but say 40 to -- if you want to say 100 percent, that's fine. Board Member Reyes: 40 percent to 110? Then you are -- 110, I'm saying -- Chair Hardemon: That's if we sell it to somebody at 110. Board Member Reves: -- 60,500. If two people -- Chair Hardemon: I don't think we'd sell it. Board Member Reyes: -- comes in and one is making 60,500, you can ask more for the home, because it will be -- the ability to pay will be more. Chair Hardemon: True. So -- Board Member Reyes: And that person -- and then you're leaving out people that they are low income; that's what I'm trying to say. Chair Hardemon: But what I'm saying to you is that we have lots of products for those individuals. Board Member Reyes: Okay, that's fine. But then if you're going to -- You see, "affordable" means "Affordable for whom?" you see; "Affordable for whom?" We want affordable housing for people that they are making -- I paean, $30,000, fif -- $20,000, $25,000; that's the people that -- $40,000 -- that's the people that we -- affordable. But what -- that was the -- Chair Hardemon: And I agree with you, except for -- the fact of the matter is this: We have to be careful about the -- about who we continue to attract in spaces. Board Member Reyes: Yes, sir. SEOPW CRA Page 6 Printed on 9/16/2022 Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA Meeting Minutes June 27, 2019 Chair Hardemon: The reason I brought up Camillus House is because I don't think that Camillus House has a positive impact on home -buying in Overtown. Board Member Reyes: No, no, no. Chair Hardemon: I don't think that opioid sales has a positive impact on home -buying in Overtown. I don't think that the influx of all of the rental affordable housing has a positive impact on home -buying in Overtown. And so, what I'm saying to you is that I don't want to create a space that is only good for low-income renters and a space that is only good for low-income homebuyers. I want there to be at least an opportunity for people who make a County salary, who drives a bus for a living to say, "1 would live in Overtown, " because all of the other homeowners in Overtown are those same people. Board Member Reyes: Those -- that's exactly what 15n saying; exactly what I'm saying. 1 don't want to go over the salaries -- Vice Chair Gort: (UNINTELLIGIBLE). Chair Hardemon: All right. Board Member Reyes: -- of those people, including teachers that make $40, 000. Cornelius Shiver (Executive Director, Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency): Okay. If -- Board Member Reyes: Like, when you go over $70, 000, that's it. Mr. Shiver: -- I can briefly intervene on this matter, I think can clear it up. I think got the compromise. And interestingly enough, I think both of my board members are really asking and saying the same thing. Vice Chair Gort: Bring your mike up. Mr. Shiver: On this particular parcel of land -- Vice Chair Gort: Bring your mike up. Mr. Shiver: Oh. On this particular parcel of land, we received the land from the City, so the most that we can charge AMI, using the County standards, is 80 percent on this particular parcel -- Chair Hardemon: Perfect. Mr. Shiver: -- number one. Number two, the good news is this is a prototype on a 5,000- square foot lot that we tend to build throughout Overtown, and we may not have some of the restrictions that the City has put on, so we may, be able to go beyond 80 percent. On this particular one, we can only go 80 percent. This is what I'm proposing after meeting with you and after discussing and knowing the Chairman's housing policy. This is a quadplex; has one ADA (Americans with Disabilities) unit; has one three -bedroom unit; has two two -bedroom units. So what I would like to propose -- and hopefully, I'll get support on this -- is the ADA unit go 30 percent or lower to a senior or ADA. The one three -bedroom can go to a 40 percent AMI -- Board Member Reyes: But that's -- Mr. Shiver: -- okay? And the two two -bedrooms, we can actually go 50 percent AMI on one and 60 percent AMI on the other one, because at the end of the day, we know that mixed -income housing is socially what's best for the communities -- SEOPW CRA Page 7 Printed on 9/16/2022 Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA Meeting Minutes June 27, 2019 Board Member Reyes: Absolutely. Mr. Shiver: -- and so, therefore -- and let me just finish by saying this: Commissioner Reyes, you're right, and Commissioner -- Chairman knows this better than anyone that the AMI in Miami -Dade County is 55,000, it's $20, 000 in Overtown -- Board Member Reyes: Absolutely. Mr. Shiver: -- and that's what makes this CRA and any other CRA so unique; that we can deal with those issues more efficiently. So that's what I'm proposing, gentlemen, and I think I have a little bit -- Chair Hardemon: Right. Mr. Shiver: -- for everybody. Chair Hardemon: Is there -- Board Member Reyes: I don't have any problem with that. Chair Hardemon: -- another -- (UNINTELLIGIBLE). Board Member Reyes: Yes; yes, sir. And this is because of past experience. I remember back in the '80s or something like that -- '80-something -- there was a program -- and you might remember this, Willy -- that there was a program for -- to rehab apartments in Overtown and depressed areas, and that was after -- just after the CRA was created. And there were a lot of people that they came in and they were hired, some of them, and some of them bought -- even bought apartment buildings there, and they started rehabbing. Well, the work that they did, it was -- I mean, a shame; that they used the worst material. They were -- they used the -- I mean, the, fridges and the kitchens, they were -- they didn't last any. The bathrooms were leaking real soon. And what I am suggesting is, well, now that you have this program that you are rehabbing, giving money, and hiring contractors to rehab those buildings that -- making them habitable --1 mean, livable for these -- for the residents of Overtown or whoever wants to come there -- that you hire an independent inspection. You see, have an independent inspection. Or -- although -- then you have a construction manager at risk, you see? You said, "We want you to do" -- I mean -- "the work that we are paying, "you see? Chair Hardemon: Right. Board Member Reyes: Because you are in an economic depressed area doesn't mean that you can do shoddy work and we're going to be paying like if you were -- Chair Hardemon: Absolutely. Board Member Reyes: -- building in Coral Gables. Chair Hardemon: Absolutely. Board Member Reyes: Okay? And that is my other suggestion, sir. Chair Hardemon: You want to be recognized? Board Member Russell: We looking for a motion? Chair Hardemon: Well -- and the last thing I want to add is that, remember, for RE.11, as well, that there was a -- that the amount is not to exceed that number. And I know that there should be some proration, so we should not reach that number, and for the interest of the children to be respected in that resolution. And so, that's all. So I'm asking for a motion to approve the entire agenda. SEOPW CRA Page 8 Printed on 9/16/2022 Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA Meeting Minutes June 27, 2019 Board Member Russell: I moved Items 1 through 11. Are there any amendments? Board Member Reyes: Second. Mr. Shiver: There's one amendment on Item Number 1; it's just a scrivener's error. It should read, "The Historic Overtown Culture Entertainment District Master Plan." Instead of the word, "created," it should be "prepared." We've already supplemented the documents with the City Clerk; other than that, Mr. Chairman, in -- Unidentified Speaker: And we have a four -fifths vote. Mr. Shiver: -- Number 6, we need a four fifths vote as a -- Chair Hardemon: We don't know. I'm not -- Mr. Shiver: Then don't even -- strike that. Chair Hardemon: -- (UNINTELLIGIBLE) discussion on the dais right now. Mr. Shiver: We're prepared (UNINTELLIGIBLE). Chair Hardemon: Commissioner Gort. Vice Chair Gort: Commissioner Reyes, I think that the way you do it is tremendous, but I think it's a difference when we're renting to when we're buying. Board Member Reyes: Oh, yes, yes. Vice Chair Gort: My understanding is the person who buys has got to buy insurance. Board Member Reyes: Yeah. Vice Chair Gort: He's got to buy -- he's going to have certain expenses they have to keep up with. But my suggestion is so that people with a lower salary could benefit, we have a program with the City of Miami, the first-time buyers, they can get up to $90,000 as a second mortgage that they don't have to pay until they finish paying the first mortgage, and a very small percentage. I think that's something that we need to apply in a lot of these individuals for homeownership. Board Member Reyes: Absolutely, absolutely; excellent idea. Chair Hardenion: And we can -- I appreciate you saying that, because, you know, many times, we forget that it's not just the cost of the housing; it is also the taxes and insurance, right? Board Member Reyes: And the down payment. Chair Hardemon: And so, all of that matters -- Board Member Reyes: Okay. Chair Hardemon: -- in the cost of doing it. Appreciate the motion and the second. Seeing no further discussion, all in favor, say "aye." The Board (Collectively): Aye. Chair Hardemon: All against? Motion passes. SEOPW CRA Page 9 Printed on 9/16/2022 Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA Meeting Minutes June 27, 2019 Rafael Suarez -Rivas (Senior Assistant City Attorney): RE.2 will be as amended by the statements made by the Executive Director. Board Member Russell: That was RE.1. Todd B. Hannon (Clerk of the Board): So RE.1 and RE.2 are amended. Mr. Suarez -Rivas: Correct, correct. Mr. Shiver: Thank you. Thank you. Chair Hardemon: Meeting is adjourned. 2.
