CRA RESOLUTION 8323 A RESOLUTION THE BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS OF THE SOUTHEAST OVERTOWN/PARK WEST COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY, WITH ATTACHMENT(S), AUTHORIZING THE SOUTHEAST OVERTOWN/PARK WEST COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY TO ACCEPT THE CONVEYANCE, WITH AFFORDABLE HOUSING RESTRICTIONS AND REVERTER PROVISIONS, OF CERTAIN CITY OF MIAMI ("CITY") OWNED PARCEL OF LAND LOCATED AT 714 NW 4 AVENUE, MIAMI, FLORIDA, AS MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED IN EXHIBIT "A", ATTACHED HERETO AND INCORPORATED HEREIN, FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING; AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO EXECUTE ANY AND ALL DOCUMENTS REQUIRED TO CONSUMMATE THE TRANSACTION. ENACTMENT NUMBER: CRA-R-20-0027 MOTION TO: Adopt RESULT: ADOPTED MOVER: Jeffrey Watson, Board Member, District Five SECONDER: Ken Russell, Board Member, District Two AYES: Diaz de la Portilla, Russell, Watson ABSENT: Carollo, Reyes Vice Chair Diaz de la Portilla: Mr. Shiver; will you -- in the interest of transparency -- sort of walk us through the seven items that we have briefly so that the community and the Commissioners can (UNINTELLIGIBLE)? Cornelius Shiver (Executive Director, CRA): Thank you. It'll he an honor. Vice Chair Diaz de la Portilla: You're recognized, sir. Mr. Shiver: Thank you. And thank you, Board Members, for being present. First item is authorizing the acceptance of a 3,000 square foot lot owned by the City. This lot is located at 714 Northwest 14th Avenue. It's being conveyed to the CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency) for affordable housing purposes. The second matter is a resolution authorizing a grant Jro$150,000 to Washington Heights Community Development Conference -- that's Jackie Bell -- for a monthly open air market, better known as Folk Life Friday. We have -- this program has been in Overtown since 2010. It's held in the 9th Street Pedestrian Mall on every first Friday. The third item is a resolution authorizing a grant in the amount of $190,000 to Suited for Success for job training and other employment support services. Suited for Success was started 26 years ago. It's part of an international organization, Dress for Success. They have been in Overtown for 11 years. The fourth item is a resolution authorizing a grant in the amount of'$150,000 to Encouraging Dreamers Breaking Barriers for a job training second chance. This is a pilot program. Out of $150,000, $100,000 is being allocated and sponsored by the City of Miami mayor; $50, 000 is coming from the CRA. The fifth item is a revenue item, a resolution ratifying an executed purchase agreement with FDOT (Florida Department of Transportation) in the amount of $2,162,887.50. This is for two easements; one is permanent, and one is temporary. This is on property that we own north of the 395 expansion. And this resolution will allow that expansion as well as bringing necessary revenues to the CRA. The sixth item is a resolution authorizing a grant in the amount of $200,000 to Neighbors to Neighbors. This is an operation of a business incubator and the development program. NANA (Neighbors and Neighbors Association) was formed in 1995 to assist small businesses in the area. It's been a very SEOPW CRA Page 5 Printed on 1/10/2023 Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA Meeting Minutes December 14, 2020 successful program, particularly with the moms and pops and small business grants and micro loan programming. And the last item is a resolution authorizing the execution of the first amendment to a development agreement and covenant with Grand Central Miami Holdings, Inc. This is a development of what we call in the CRA Block 46. It's 370 units. In this agreement, we're giving a 57 percent TIF (Tax Increment Financing) agreement for 80 units, affordable units from 60 percent AMI (Area Median Income). Six units will be 60 percent AMI,• 24 units will be 60 to 80 percent; 25 will be 80 to 100 percent; and 25 will be 100 to 120. The remaining units will be workforce units. As I'll explain to the Vice Chair who's the chairman of this meeting, the CRA is fortunate enough to be in a phase where we're now recruiting and giving incentives for mixed - use, mixed -income development since we have stabilized the affordable housing low and moderate income market in Overtown. Mr. Chairman, those are the seven items. Vice Chair Diaz de la Portilla: Thank you, Mr. Shiver. We have a motion by Commissioner Watson to approve Items 1 through 7, seconded by Commissioner Russell. Is there any discussion? Board Member Watson: Yes. Vice Chair Diaz de la Portilla: Commissioner Watson, you're recognized, sir. Board Member Watson: Yes. Mr. Chair, I have a question on Item 7. Mr. Director, is this the last time they'll come before us on any sort of amendments to the agreement? Mr. Shiver: Yes. This is the last -- this is an agreement -- we had anticipated giving them some assistance for affordable housing, but we delayed that. This project has got to be about 90, 95 percent complete. These units will be available to the public within the next six months. And we don't anticipate this item coming back before the Commission -- I mean, before the CRA. This is the last item. Board Member Watson: Because I have some letters, from some of the residents at the existing facility on their issues of now -- in this development and how they are now not kind of complying with what they had agreed to do with those residents in the first Poinciana. So we'll get a chance to speak to them or hear from them to ensure that they're going to do what they supposed to do. Mr. Shiver: Thank you. And the principals, you have informed me of the concerns. And for the Board to know and the community will know, this is Poinciana Phase II There have been some concerns in the residents in Poinciana Phase I. We have informed the principals of that, and I'll be glad to facilitate a meeting between you and the residents of Poinciana Phase I. Board Member Watson: Okay. Vice Chair Diaz de la Portilla: Are there any additional comments or questions? Commissioner Russell, you 're recognized. Board Member Russell: Thank you very much. Just a question, Mr. Director, about the Encouraging Dreamers grant. So the funding will provide job training and car washing services to our fleet vehicles for the entire city or for vehicles within the CRA? How does it work exactly? Mr. Shiver: Well, right now -- and he has to -- Elijah [sic] has to explain that better. My understanding though that the location would be in the redevelopment area. My, understanding is they do have a principle of understanding with the City of Miami police to do cars. I'm not too sure if it's going to be citywide because I don't know the SEOPW CRA Page 6 Printed on 1/10/2023 Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA Meeting Minutes December 14, 2020 capacity. But this grant is facilitating equipment, location, and some salaries moving forward. Board Member Russell: It's Ijamyn, not Elijah. Mr. Shiver: Right. That's your name. Mr. Gray: Yes, sir. Board Member Russell: Good morning, sir. Mr. Gray: Good morning, good morning, good morning. Board Member Russell: Good to see you. Vice Chair Diaz de la Portilla: Good to see you. Mr. Gray: So like Mr. Shiver said, this is an opportunity that was brought to the City to do the City cars. I would love for it to be citywide where we could set up an opportunity in each district with a little spot that hires the kids from each district with a job opportunity so if that answers your question, sir. Board Member Russell: It does. So the -- through the Chair, please. The total amount in the agenda is $150,000 but only a portion of that is provided by the CRA. The other portion is from the Mayor's Office. Mr. Shiver: Exactly. Board Member Russell: So there is citywide fitnding already being applied. Mr. Shiver: Yes. Board Member Russell: So you could technically work citywide. Mr. Gray: Yes, sir. Board Member Russell: And so the amount that's in here already includes the services for that cleaning for the next year? Is that how it works? Mr. Gray: No. The services is for the startup and for the -- for me to be able to train -- pay the employees. Board Member Russell: Okay. So that's the initial amount. The actual cleaning services would be a further contract. Mr. Gray: Yes, sir. Board Member Russell: Understood. All right. Board Member Watson: So is the Director going to -- Vice Chair Diaz de la Portilla: You're recognized, Commissioner. Board Member Watson: -- going to help you with respect to now you increasing your capacity to maybe be able to serve the city? Mr. Gray: I couldn't hear you, sir. SEOPW CRA Page 7 Printed on 1/10/2023 Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA Meeting Minutes December 14, 2020 Board Member Watson: Is the Director going to help you with respect to increasing your capacity to be able to serve the city and not just the district? Mr. Gray: Yes, sir. Board Member Watson: All right. Mr. Shiver: And I look forward to that. This is a pilot program. And if they are successful the way we would believe they will be, then I'll be coming back to the Board with that good report and possibly request for additional funding. Board Member Watson: All right. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Gray: Thank y'all. Have a blessed day. Vice Chair Diaz de la Portilla: Any additional comments, Commissioners? Okay, so we call the item. Any -- all those in favor, say "aye." The Board Members (Collectively): Aye. Vice Chair Diaz de la Portilla: Opposed, "nay." It passes unanimously, 3/0. 2.
