Miami, FL 33136
Dear Mr. McQueen,
It is with great anticipation that we submit this proposal on behalf of the Overtown Optimist Club, Inc.,
also known/referred to as The Optimist Club.
The Overtown Optimist Club has a mission and vision of increasing student and family access to
affordable, high quality youth development programming, utilizing a strength -based case management
model. Our mission aligns with the SEPOW CRA mission to enhance the quality of life of its youth and
young adult residents promoting economic growth and fostering safe neighborhoods.
The Optimist Club has successfully pivoted its hallmark, sports enthusiast programming to include
academic advisement, ensuring students are on track for on -time grade promotion, high school
graduation, with an eye towards the successful navigation of their post -secondary life journey.
The Optimist Club provides a year-round program which aligns with the Miami -Dade County Public
School (MDCPS) calendar, beginning in August on the first day of school, and ending the last day of
school. During the school season, the Optimist Club runs a 5-day spring break camp, 10- hours per day.
Following the school season, the Optimist Club runs a 9-week summer camp, for 10-hours per day. These
critical out of school supports seek to provide students with exposure to entrepreneurial and employment
skills. The Optimist Club provides all participants of its afterschool, spring and summer camps with
breakfast, lunch or dinner and snack daily, respectively.
We sincerely hope that the attached proposal will support our financial request to the SEOPW CRA
which will allow us to staff our agency with the requisite staff to support the children and families within
our program. If you have any additional concerns or questions, please don't hesitate to let me know.
Sincerely and Respectfully,

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mr. James McQueen, Executive Director, SEOPW CRA
FROM: Ieshia Haynie, Executive Director, Overtown Optimist Club, Inc.
RE: Playing to Our Strengths

Established in 1993, as a volunteer -based community safe haven for children during the critical
out of school hours. The Overtown Optimist Club has had a long-term collaborative partnership
with the City of Miami, as its exclusive community provider at the Theodore Gibson Park
(located within the heart of Overtown, Miami).
In its 28-year history, The Optimist Club has successfully pivoted its hallmark, sports enthusiast
programming, to include academic advisement, ensuring students are on track for on -time grade
promotion, high school graduation, while preparing them to successfully navigate their post-
secondary life experiences. Utilizing our strength -based case management model to heal and
empower youth to becoming leaders through academics and athletics and their unique gifts and
talents.
Students join the Overtown Optimist Club, as early as four years of age, and continue through

STATEMENT OF INCLUSION
We embrace and encourage inclusion in all things — access, quality and opportunity. Our
philosophy believes that children of all abilities have a right to equal access to and meaningful
participation in education, enrichment, character education, and social emotional development.
IMPLEMENTATION APPROACH
Our approach to implementing this differentiated model, includes four distinct learning styles,
which include auditory, kinesthetic, reading (writing) and visual. Similar to student athlete
training, kinesthetic learners perform greatest when participating and solving problems in a
hands-on manner. The use of play is a great motivator for students to participate and to remain
engaged with an assignment. The Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport found that first grade
students experiencing sedentary time and no running around also had a negative impact on their
reading skills and their ability to do math.

The Optimist Club will utilize its capacity of Certified Miami -Dade County Public School
(MDCPS) Teachers to deliver the learning and literacy model, and our Health and Wellness
Coaches and Student Mentors to recruit, retain and monitor ongoing student performance in the
areas of Health and Wellness.
AREA OF NEED & SUPPORT
A priority need for the Optimist Club program, which operates a year-round after school
program, in addition to spring and summer breaks. The Optimist Club services a little more than
400 kids between its afterschool and athletic programming throughout the year. The average cost
per child is $525 per year.
The Overtown Optimist Club respectfully requests $200,000 from our local Community
Redevelopment Agency (CRA) to support this program which makes a meaningful difference in
the lives of our community and youth. A financial commitment from the Community
Redevelopment Agency will serve as a major catalyst to support the long-term success of the
youth of Overtown, while also keeping our neighborhoods safe.

INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM
To: Board Chair Christine King and Date: January 6, 2022 File: 11332
Members of the CRA Board
From: James McQueen
Executive Director
Subject: Resolution authorizing $350,000.00
for Mount Zion Baptist Church's 40-
year certification.
Enclosures: File # 11332 Backup
BACKGROUND:
The attached Resolution of the Board of Commissioners of the Southeast Overtown/Park West
Community Redevelopment Agency ("SEOPW CRA") authorizes a grant in an amount not to
exceed $350,000.00 to Mt. Zion Developments, Inc. ("Owner"), located at 301 N.W. 9th Street,
Miami, Florida (the "Property"), for its 40-year certification and roof replacement, (the
"Project").
Mount Zion Baptist Church was built between 1928 - 1941 and was listed on the National
Register of Historic Places in 1988. The Property is of architectural significance to Overtown
because of its unique Mediterranean Revival style. The Property needs its 40-year recertification
and a full roof replacement, and the Owner has requested assistance from the SEOPW CRA in
order to bring the Property into minimum code compliance.
This Board authorized a grant to Owner for $280,000.00 in 2015 under CRA-R-15-0041, to
complete its 40-year certification. Owner engaged a contractor who completed $149,853.00 of
the work prior to becoming unresponsive, leaving a remaining balance of $130,147.00 unspent.
Since the contractor's abandonment, the Property's condition has deteriorated due to deferred
maintenance and has received notices of code violations. To cure this problem, the Property now
needs a full roof replacement in addition to completing the 40-year recertification. Furthermore,
since the Property is on the National Register of Historic Places, all improvements must comply
with their requirements. Owner needs $350,000.00 in addition to the unspent $130,147.00 to
properly address all outstanding issues.
It is the recommendation of the SEOPW CRA that the Board of Commissioners authorize the

SOUTHEAST OVERTOWN/PARK WEST
COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM
To: Board Chair Christine King and Date: January 25, 2022 File: 11416
Members of the CRA Board
From: James McQueen
Executive Director
Subject: Resolution authorizing a grant of
$75,000.00, to Human Resources of
Miami, Inc. to Increase the Wage
Enclosures: File # 11416-Backup
BACKGROUND:
The attached Resolution of the Board of Commissioners of the Southeast Overtown/Park West
Community Redevelopment Agency ("SEOPW CRA") authorizes an additional grant to Human
Resources of Miami, Inc., ("HRM"), in an amount not to exceed $75,000.00 to increase the
wages of the Overtown Beautification Team members (the "Blue Shirts") effective immediately.
The SEOPW CRA has funded the Blue Shirts for the past 11 years. Since 2011, HRM has
overseen the Blue Shirts which provides on-the-job training and employment opportunities to
residents from the Redevelopment Area who are interested in landscaping maintenance. This is a
second -chance job creation program designed to give Overtown residents an opportunity to work
in Overtown. Not only does it provide job opportunities for local residents and low-income
families, the program assists in beautifying the community and allowing for the clean-up of its
neighborhoods.
On July 22, 2021, the SEOPWA CRA Board adopted CRA Resolution CRA-R-21-0021 to
provide a grant to HRM in the amount of $350,000.00 to fund the program for a two year period
from July 4, 2021 through July 4, 2023. However, due to the continued effects of the COVID-19
Pandemic the cost of living for marginal workers has been greatly affected. This additional grant
of $75,000.00, to be used during the remainder of the term of the original grant, will provide an
increase to the Blue Shirts wages and will help to ensure that the Blue Shirts receive a living
wage.
JUSTIFICATION:
Pursuant to Section 163.340(9) of the Florida Statutes "community redevelopment...means
undertakings, activities, or projects...in a community redevelopment area for the elimination and

Overview
New Washington Heights CDC is pleased to submit this proposal to the Southeast Overtown/Park West
Community Redevelopment Agency. Funding is requested to support Over town's FolkLife Fridays, a
hidden jewel, the Over town 9th street mall is home to Folklife Friday, an open-air marketplace which
serves as a hub of economic development activity within the Overtown community. Month on Friday of
every month year-round, the marketplace is home to soul food, Hispanic and Caribbean food venders,
entrepreneurial retailers, renowned entertainers, local DJ's and a mix of residents, professionals and
tourist enjoying good food, fun in Miami's sun and a blend of pop, R&B, and oldies but goodies.
Accomplishment
To date, this unique economic development project attracts Overtown residents, employs locals,
entertains professionals, and even invites those who grew up in Overtown a chance to come back to the
neighborhood to support the area and witness the SEOPW CRA transformative projects come to life. A
socio-economic driver of progress, folklife Friday's help businesses meet their monthly revenue goals.
In addition, the festival provides the opportunity for broad -based community recognition, elected officials
to meet and learn from residents, past attendees include the County and City Mayor, State representatives,
Senators, School Board Members, and other elected and notable citizens.
Rationale
The Overtown 9th Street Mall was conceptualized by New Washington Heights CDC and community
stakeholders in 1979 and was incorporated into the original SEOPW CRA redevelopment plan in 1981.
It was put forth as an integral project to help rid the Overtown area of slum and blight and promote
sustainable economic development activities in the area, the project has received investment by the
SEOPW CRA over the last 10 years.

The attached Resolution of the Board of Commissioners of the Southeast Overtown/Park West
Community Redevelopment Agency ("SEOPW CRA") rescinds CRA Resolution No. CRA-R-
21-0050 in its entirety and thereby rescinds the acceptance and authorization to enter into the
