In 2020, Immediate Past President Jane Muir and the association's execu- tive committee embarked on a plan to completely renovate the 1960s-era, five -story headquarters at 123 NW First Ave. in downtown Miami. "This is the culmination of many months of work," said Sabrina Puglisi, the association's current president. The project will increase the build- ing's square footage from 18,000 to a total of 22,000 by bringing the eleva- tor up to the fifth floor. Plans are to completely gut the property and have new electrical, plumbing and HAVAC systems, which currently date to the building's original construction. Once completed, member attorneys will have access to a business center and a hospitality suite environment includ- ing work areas, meeting rooms, a lounge, and a place to store personal belongings while in court, said Bret Berlin, the bar association's executive director. "These additional benefits comple- ment existing offerings from the MDB such as networking opportunities, access to continuing legal education programs, community service opportunities," be said, "as well as discount programs and professional liability insurance products." The bar association's pro bono pro- grams, which provide free and low-cost legal services as well as lawyer referral services for the public, and Dade County Legal Aid will continue to operate on the first and third floors. Also, sister voluntary bar associations will have the opportunity to host their own meetings and events at the MDB's headquarters. Founded in the early 1900s and offi- cially incorporated in 1920 by a handful of attorneys, today, the Miami -Dade Bar serves the more than 19,000 attorneys in the county and continues its mission to support and inform, educate, and serve the county's lawyers and the community at large. The association has selected J. Ste- phens Construction for the construction, which is expected to be completed in fall 2023. "The Miami -Dade Bar is commit- ted to its members, and this initiative reflects our mission to be the preferred voluntary bar association in the county," Ms. Puglisi said. 7-mile underwater snorkel trail, artificial reef ready to begin BY KYLEA HENSELER The first installations of the Reefline, a project intended to become a seven -mile underwater snorkel trail and artificial coral reef in Miami Beach, could be sunk offshore by summer. The endeavor is led by Bluelab Preservation Society, a non- profit focused on ocean pollution, water quality and climate change, in collaboration with the City of Miami Beach and scientists from the University of Miami and Coral Morphologic, a group that produces audio and visual media focused on coral reefs. "Florida's coral reef is the third largest in the world, and it's dying," said Bluelab's founder and artistic director Ximena Caminos. According to its mas- ter plan developed by architect Shohei Shigematsu/OMA, the line will be a series ofunderwater public art installations connected by a breakwater that will serve as both a snorkel trail and a coastal resilience tool. This will be the actual "line" connecting the Reefline, and will lessen the impact of wave energy due to storms and swells. Last year, Miami Today re- ported, project representatives told Miami Beach's Sustain - ability Committee that the first art installation could be in the water by December 2021. But Ms. Caminos said the process was delayed by covid, and the team is now shooting for a sum- mer sinking. However, December was not A rendering of the first Reefline installation, which is expected to look like an underwater traffic jam. uneventful for the Reefline. During Art Week, Bluelab col- laborated with artists and tech companies to raise money and awareness through a handful of physical installations and the sale of non -fungible tokens, a type of data unit commonly used for the sale of virtual art. One of these installations was artist Refik Anadol's Machine Hallucination: Coral, which was shown on the beach in the Faena District of Miami Beach. Aorist, a non -fungible token market- place, also partnered with artists including Mr. Anadol to sell a series of tokens and donate over 50% of the proceeds to Reefline. The project, Ms. Caminos said, is to be funded by grants SOUTHEAST OVERTOWN/PARK WEST COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY PLEASE ALL TAKE NOTICE, the Board of Commission- ers meeting of the Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA is scheduled to take place on Thursday, January 13, 2022, at 12:00 p.m. or thereafter, at Miami City Hall, 3500 Pan American Drive, Miami, FL 33133.

By the time the first module is sunk, she said, the running tab will be $500,000 to S800,000. This includes, she said, startup, permitting, research and master plan costs, and the price of sub- sequent modules is to be lower. The first module, according to a press release, will consist of two art installations: a model of an underwater "traffic jam" inspired by a former Art Week feature, and an "underwater folly" resembling a circle made of spiral underwater staircases designed by OMA. They will be sunk in 15 to 20 feet of water off of Miami Beach's Fourth Street. Once this is complete, she said, Bluelab can finish the process of securing permits from the Army Corps of Engineers. The exact amount of artistic installations that will be sunk along the trail, Ms. Caminos said, is yet to be determined. Open calls and competitions for artists, she said, will be used to find the creators of future modules. Currently, Ms. Caminos said, scale models of the first instal- lations are being constructed for testing in UM's wave simulator, which can imitate category five hurricanes.

Proof of concept for artificial reefs in Miami Beach, she said, already exists. One example is the Jose Cuervo Reef, a 10,000-pound concrete bar that was sunk in the year 2000, according to the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau. Recent photos and videos of the structure, including some on the Reefline Instagram, show it coated in cor- als and surrounded by various fish and wildlife.

But some money professionals who offer advice arc not qualified to do so - nor are they required to put our in- terests ahead of theirs. Be cautious when accept- ing advice from the follow- ing sources. AUTO DEALERSHIPS The dealership wants to sell you a car. To make the payments more affordable, you may be offered a loan that lasts six, seven or even eight years. But while lon- ger loans can get you small- er monthly payments, they cost more overall, since you'll pay more interest. You'll also likely spend several years "upside down," or owing more than your vehicle is worth. As the car ages, you could easi- ly face big repair bills while still making payments. If you needed to sell the car. you would have to come CYBERSECORIIY Yawn received a social science degree while at FSU, despite Me fact that he was unsure of what he wanted to study be- cause he hoped to become a professional athlete. As a member of the National Guard and Army ROTC. he graduated college prepared to report for duty. He was a captain in the U.S. Army for six years, where he was a communications officer for a battalion of about 630 soldiers and was in charge of all technology that supported them, from radios to comput- ers to tablets. Even then, Yawn believed that if he applied that experience to the civilian sec- tor, he'd have a great life and a rewarding and respectable job with a lot of flexibility. Upon leaving the military, he worked for almost four years at a national cybersecuriry firm called Coalfirc while simulta- neously receiving a master's degree in technology manage- ment from Georgetown Uni- ve rsity. The cybersecurity compli- up with money to pay off the loan. Alternatively, you could roll the negative eq- uity into your next car pur- chase, but that would make your new loan even more pensive. A better approach: Limit auto loans to a maximum of five years for new cars or three years for used cars. A 20% down payment can help you avoid negative eq- uity as well. Consider get- ting preapproved for a loan from your local credit union or bank, or an online lender. That can help you withstand the dealership trying to pres- sure you into expensive fi- nancing. MORTGAGE PROS Good mortgage brokers or loan officers can be invalu- able in helping you navigate a complicated process and understand the guidelines that lenders use to determine how big of a loan you can qualify for. But they can't tell you how big of a loan you can comfortably afford. Neither can your real estate agent, for that matter. True affordability will de- pend on a lot of factors that aren't captured in your appli- cation, including when you want to retire and how much you want to save for other goals, such as a child's educa- tion. There's also your comfort level. Some people are fine borrowing the maximum, because they believe their finances will only get better. Others prefer to barrow more conservatively. A better approach: Use on- line calculators to estimate how much to save for retire- ment and other goals. Then include those figures in your monthly expenses when using a mortgage affordability cal- culator. Or consult a fiduciary adviser, such as a certified fi- nancial planner, accredited fi- nancial counselor or accredit- ed financial coach. "Fiduciary" cans obligated to put your best interests fires. Most finan- cial advisers aren't fiduciaries, so make sure to ask. STOCKBROKERS A stockbroker may tell you that rolling your old 401(k) ac- count into an individual retire- ment account gives you many more investment options, and that's typically true. But IRAs can cost you more, and 401(k) s have better consumer protec- tions. Stockbrokers want to sell you investments that earn them commissions.

It's one reason why he's a founding board member of the National Association of Black Compliance & Risk Man- agement Professionals.

He expressed that being a Black man in tech has presented inev- itable challenges due to a lack have no responsibility to make sure those investments are in your best interest. By contrast, a 401(k) administrator is a fidu- ciary, so they're required to put your interests first and provide good investment options at a reasonable cost. Many 401(k) s offer access to ultra -low-cost institutional funds that aren't available in an IRA. In addition, your entire 4010) balance is protected from creditors. By contrast, your protections with an IRA depend an state law. Many states exempt only an amount "reasonably necessary for sup- port" - which means in some cases, creditors potentially could get it all. A better approach: Leave the money where it is if you like the old 401(k)'s investment op- tions, or roll it into a new em- ployer's plan if that's allowed. Otherwise, roll the money into an IRA at a discount broker- age. If you need help with how to invest it, consult a fiduciary adviser.

However, he was wearing a Black Lives Matter shirt, and was told that if BLM was important to him, that would be an issue. Yawn says that because he is Black, he has always had to perform at higher levels, even in the military. He feels grate- ful to be in a position today where he can give opportu- nities to others who look like him, a position he says he does not take lightly. He also is thankful to have re- ceived S3 million in ByteChek's first round of fundraising, with more than 80% of the money coming from Black investors.

Multiple studies have shown that most people will collect more over their lifetimes if they delay fil- ing.
