In the few -- in the next few months, we're going to be issuing the solicitation for this building. We wanted to get your input as best as possible as to the final use of that property. In -- when we purchased the property, we had in mind a restaurant. It is at the corner -- a main thoroughfare of the CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency), and we wanted to really activate the space. You know, we're not just affordable housing but we're also economic development, and you know, making the community better, providing jobs and opportunities as well. So, we wanted to put you on notice that we will be issuing a solicitation. And if there are any features that you'd like, for us to note when we issue this document, then you know, we 're asking for your input now on that. Chair Pardo: Any discussion? Board Member King: If I could outside of this meeting, I don't think that your team had an opportunity to brief me, but if you could schedule a briefing with me, I'd be glad to share my thoughts on what could happen with this space, and maybe we could talk about what we're doing in the Overtown -- Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA. And it could be cohesive because it's basically all one community. So, I would reserve my comments until I speak with staff. Chair Pardo: That's excellent. We look forward to that. Ms. Jones: Thank you. Thank you, Commissioner. Chair Pardo: Any other discussion? Okay, thank you, everyone, for being here today. The meeting is now adjourned. Board Member King: Thank you.

MOTION TO: Continue RESULT: CONTINUED MOVER: Manolo Reyes, Board Member, District Four SECONDER: Miguel Angel Gabela, Board Member, District One AYES: Pardo, Gabela, Reyes, King ABSENT: Carollo Note for the Record: Item 5 was continued to the next scheduled OMNI Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) Meeting. Note for the Record: For additional minutes referencing Item Number 5, please see Item Number 1 under "Omni CRA Resolutions." Chair Pardo: Is there any discussion amongst the board members regarding Resolutions Number 1 through Number 8? Board Member Reyes: Yes. I -- I have problems with 5 and 7. You are -- I mean, they are receiving -- they have received a bunch of money before, and now they're receiving an additional $5 million and additional funds. And they are offering -- what they are offering are apartments that they are up to 140. A resolution -- we passed a resolution a long time ago that if you receive any benefits from the City of Miami, you cannot be higher than 100 percent AMI (Area Median Income). 140 AMI is 2,000 -- I mean, for one person, okay, $2,500 a month, which is more or less what market rate is. And if we are going to use those funds to provide affordable, it has to be real affordable, you see. Now, the AMI nowadays is $73,000, you see, $73,000, and you go 140, and that is way over, way over $100, 000 as, I mean, income. And I believe, and it's my opinion, and I always have stated that I will not vote for anything that goes above 100 percent AMI If OMNI Community Redevelopment Agency Page 9 Printed on 4/22/2024 OMNI Community Redevelopment Agency Meeting Minutes February 8, 2024 we are re -- if we are providing benefits in exchange for affordable units, they must be affordable. And let me tell you, everybody -- everybody that has the same, 1 mean, argument, I have the argument all the time/ hear that this is for a teacher married to a police officer. Well, how about a short order cook married to a waitress or somebody that works -- a teacher married to a short order cook? You see, we have to realize that the salary of most people that work in the City of Miami is not as high as $70, 000, not even the 100 percent, you see. That is -- that is my problem with this. And I will not -- I'm being consistent with what I have been all the time. I think that affordable have to be affordable. According to what I read here, you see, according to what I read here, studios -- the studios are minimal, you see, a minimum. And 140, they're going to be charging $2,430, you see; at 120, $2,169, you see. To me, that is not what 1 consider affordable, you see. I don't consider affordable. So -- and also, the number of studios -- well, it's on 24 units. Then we have one bedroom. One bedroom is one unit --1 mean, one bedroom is 60 percent and it's 80 percent of AMI; that's great. That's affordable. But when you go back and you go to 120 percent, it is $2,323 and you have 140 is $2,710, you see. And also, you see, according to HUD (Department of Housing and Urban Development), this is -- with two persons -- one person or two persons. As you increase the number of persons, they can charge more, you see, and that is the catch -- I mean, that's how they can get away with it. I do understand that we have to bring developers, but developers have to understand also that what affordable is -- Chair Pardo: Yep. Board Member Reyes: -- in the City of Miami. Chair Pardo: Thank you very much, Commissioner Reyes. I'll address your points briefly. The breakdown on the number of units is 398 units; 19 at 60 percent AMI -- and it keeps going -- 80 percent at 39 units; 100 percent, 60 units; 120 percent, 81 units; and 140 percent at 199. And part of the reason that it's skewed like that is that when we've met with the different groups that rely on housing in the area, including the police, the School Board, et cetera, they've been very adamant about needing affordable housing for the same employees that are working with them, but not only that, so that they can trade within the same building, which a lot of times, you know, someone will get a promotion, and all of a sudden, they have to leave the building or even leave Miami. So, this building is giving the flexibility that if you do get a promotion and now you're at 140 percent AMI, you have a place to go. You still have a unit and you can keep your family together and move into that unit. The other things I wanted to mention, the funding here is 25 percent of the funding for the project. None of these folks would be on the County's waitlist, which is an important criteria, so it would be accessible relatively quickly. And the letters of support we have received currently are from the State Attorney, the Public Defender, the Fraternal Order of Police, Miami -Dade Public Schools, Miami Association of Firefighters, and SEIU (Service Employees International Union) Healthcare of Florida Local. And part of their support is dealing with this issue, which you're right, we have an affordable housing crisis, but we're also having a workforce -- Board Member Reyes: Well -- Chair Pardo: -- housing crisis. Board Member Reyes: -- well, let me add to that, to your argument. If they want to charge that amount, they do it on their own penny. I mean, they do it on their money. But if we are offering -- we are offering such a, I mean, a huge amount of money, we have the right to demand -- and if you receive a promotion and you can pay more and you have to move, well, more power to you because you're going to be moving to another apartment that you're going to be paying more or less because 140, it is about the same as market rate, you see. They are not losing anything. As a matter of fact, you OMNI Community Redevelopment Agency Page 10 Printed on 4/22/2024 OMNI Community Redevelopment Agency Meeting Minutes February 8, 2024 see, if they can -- if they are paying 140 and they're moving to another apartment because they have a kid or whatever, they -- that is one bedroom, they are paying about market rate. Basically, that's what they're paying, you see, and that is -- that is - Chair Pardo: Remember, it's Downtown Miami. Board Member Reyes: -- in order to be -- Chair Pardo: It's right next to it. Board Member Reyes: I'm just telling you, in order to be consistent, because that was my resolution because I am -- I am really, really, really committed to affordability. And we have been -- this, you see, the benefits in exchange for additional units and calling it workforce or whatever it is have been used and misused, you see, used and misused through -- I mean, since I got here six years ago. So, I am being consistent. I cannot vote for this. Chair Pardo: I understand. That would be on Number 5 and Number 7? Board Member Reyes: 5 and 7. Chair Pardo: Okay. Should we break out Number 5 and Number 7 and move the other items? Isiaa Jones (Interim Executive Director): Yes, Commissioner. Board Member Reves: (INAUDIBLE) another thing. They already received $15 million from us, $15 million. Chair Pardo: On the other develop -- on the other building. Board Member Reyes: On -- you know, and then 15 plus 5 is $20 million. Chair Pardo: On the other -- Board Member Reves: If we -- if we use those $20 million, we can -- we can -- we can building a building and have at least 100 units that they are real affordable -- Chair Pardo: I understand. Board Member Reyes: -- you see. I mean, we have to be -- we have to demand the biggest bang for our buck, okay. Chair Pardo: Okay. [Later...] Chair Pardo: Then I guess we should move Number 5 and Number 7 together. This is a four fifths vote on 5 and 7. And so we know that -- Board Member King: You're going to have to defer that because we don't have it. Chair Pardo: Yeah, so we'll have to defer those items. Board Member Reyes: I move for deferral. OMNI Community Redevelopment Agency Page 11 Printed on 4/22/2024 OMNI Community Redevelopment Agency Meeting Minutes February 8, 2024 Board Member Gahela: Second. Chair Pardo: All those in favor? The Board Members (Collectively): Aye. Chair Pardo: Deferred. Board Member Reyes: Okay. Todd B.
