Groovin' Bean: Brewing the Rhythm of Community
In the heart of Overtown, nestled amongst the bustling streets and vibrant culture, lies a haven where
the aroma of freshly brewed coffee dances through the air. Groovin' Bean, a cornerstone of this urban
landscape, has been serving up more than just caffeine for the past two decades. As we delve into the
rich tapestry of its past and present, we unravel the story of a coffeehouse that has become synonymous
with community, creativity, and of course, great coffee.
The inception of Groovin' Bean traces back to the early 2018, a time when coffee culture was beginning
to take root in cities across the globe. In 2018, inspired by the burgeoning scene and a passion for
bringing people together in Overt Town, founders Keon and Monique opened the doors to their dream —
a cozy, eclectic coffee shop where individuals could gather, connect, and find respite from the daily grind.
Located in a renovated historic building, Groovin' Bean quickly became a hub for artists, musicians,
students, and professionals alike.
In its early years, Groovin' Bean distinguished itself not only through its carefully crafted espresso
beverages but also through its commitment to showcasing local talent. Open mic nights, art exhibitions,
and live music performances transformed the space into a platform for creativity and expression. The
walls adorned with paintings from neighborhood artists and the air filled with the soulful melodies of
emerging musicians, Groovin' Bean transcended the role of a mere coffeehouse, evolving into a cultural
landmark within the community.
As the years passed, Groovin' Bean continued to evolve, adapting to the changing tastes and preferences
of its clientele. While remaining true to its roots of fostering community and creativity, the coffee shop
expanded its menu to include an array of specialty drinks, pastries, and light fare. With an emphasis on
quality ingredients and sustainable practices, Groovin' Bean earned a reputation not only for its
exceptional coffee but also for its commitment to social responsibility.
Today, as Groovin' Bean celebrates its 6th year in business, it stands as a testament to the enduring
power of community and collaboration. The coffee shop continues to serve as a gathering place for
people from all walks of life, fostering connections and conversations that transcend boundaries.
Whether it's a group of friends catching up over lattes, a local artist showcasing their latest work, or a
musician serenading the crowd with acoustic melodies, Groovin' Bean remains a beacon of warmth and
inclusivity in an ever -changing world.
Looking ahead, Groovin' Bean remains committed to its core values while embracing new opportunities
for growth and innovation. With plans to expand its reach through online sales and community outreach
initiatives, the coffee shop seeks to deepen its impact and reach an even wider audience. As it embarks
on the next chapter of its journey, Groovin' Bean remains steadfast in its mission to brew not only great
coffee but also the rhythm of community.
In conclusion, Groovin' Bean's journey from its humble beginnings in 2018 to its current status as a
beloved institution is a testament to the enduring appeal of community, creativity, and quality. For 6
years, this coffeehouse has served as more than just a place to grab a cup of coffee —it's been a
gathering place, a stage for local talent, and a cornerstone of the neighborhood. As it looks to the future,
Groovin' Bean remains committed to its roots while embracing new opportunities for growth and

Re: 2024 Youth Employment Program (YEP)
Request for Funding
Dear Mr. McQueen:
Thank you for the opportunity to be considered for funding by the Southeast Overtown
Community Redevelopment Agency ("CRA").
The Liberty City Community Revitalization Trust ("Liberty City Trust") is requesting
$60,000.00 to support the 2024 Youth Employment Program ("YEP") that makes a
meaningful difference in the lives of our youth. This program will employ 20 students
from the Overtown community at the rate of $15 per hour.
The Liberty City Trust is a quasi -public government organization created through the
City of Miami Ordinance No. 12859 in 2006. Our office and contact information are as
follows:
Elaine Black, President/CEO
c/o Charles Hadley Park

Telephone No. (305) 329-4707
Email: eblack@miamigov.com
The mission of the Liberty City Trust is to provide oversight and facilitate the City's
revitalization efforts and activities. Our focus is housing, commercial and business
development and improving the quality of life of the residents in which we serve.
Present and Past History
For the past 18 years the Liberty City Trust has been committed to ensuring the
residents of the Liberty City and surrounding areas thrive in having quality of life and
benefit from opportunities offered through trusted sources that serve the community
wherein they live. In 2015, the Liberty City Trust established a summer youth
employment program ("YEP") to assure gainful employment and work experience for
students ranging between the ages of 14 to 18. Students work for eight weeks in June
through August in a variety of entry-level jobs in the nonprofit arena, private sector, and

City of Miami Parks. The YEP program has employed over 517 students, which provided
(1) income to low-income families, (2) job experience, and (3) an outlet to keep youth out
of trouble while school is out for summer recess. The goal of the YEP is to continue
providing students with summer employment opportunities, combined, or integrated
with building their individual strengths, targeting at risk youth by incorporating youth
development principles for career development and workforce readiness. The Liberty
City Trust employed 40 youth from the Overtown community between 2022 and 2023
from prior funding through the CRA.
Program Impact on Participants from Prior Years
The YEP program serves as a testament to the importance of community -driven
initiatives in empowering young individuals and preparing them for successful futures.
Last year twenty (20) students were employed and received biweekly pay in the amount
of $600.00. Their work experience was enhanced with 2 hours a week of classroom
training that provided life skills and competencies. The Life Skills Coach was assigned
to work with and evaluate each intern in:
• Improving their employment, social and financial management skills.
• Gaining a better understanding of human relations in the workplace.
• Self Esteem
• Resume Writing
• Public Speaking
• Writing skills
• Job Search and Career Planning
The program succeeded in imparting crucial life skills, fostering job readiness, and
promoting community engagement among the participants. All 20 participants received
their evaluation with a rating of 4 for meeting the work maturity skill independency with
no supervision.
Many reported improved confidences, communication skills, and a better understanding
of career pathways. Several participants expressed a newfound sense of responsibility
towards their community, and some even secured part-time jobs because of the
program. The overall impact on the students of Overtown was positive.
Should you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us at
(305) 329-4707. We thank you in advance for your consideration of this summer
youth program initiative for 2024.
Sincerely,
Ee4uoe g. Fele%

SEOPW CRA reserves the right to require the provision by Licensee of an amount of coverage
different from the amounts or kind previously required and shall afford written notice of such
change in requirements thirty (30) days prior to the date on which the requirements shall take
effect. Should Licensee fail or refuse to satisfy the requirement of changed coverage within thirty

whatsoever for any person or property that enters the premises or Properties resulting from, or in

property which may occur in or about the premises or Properties regardless of the cause, including
circumstances where it is alleged that the SEOPW CRA and the City of Miami, or their employees,

of Licensee, or Licensee's Representatives (whether or not they are negligent, intentional,

survive the termination of this Agreement.
Nothing in this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the provisions of Paragraph 6 entitled
"Violations, Liens, and Security Interests," or this Paragraph 13 entitled "Hazardous Materials,"
shall require the Licensee to indemnify the Indemnitees from and against any loss, cost, claim,

(I) the Indemnitees, its employees', or agents' negligence in the performance of this Agreement;
and (ii) the Indemnitees', its employees', or agents' breach of any provision of this Agreement.

pay to any person or entity any amount which exceeds the amount(s) for which the Licensee
could be held liable under the provisions of Section 768.28, Florida Statutes, as may be
amended, and nothing herein shall be readas a waiver of the sovereign immunity beyond that
provided in Section 768.28, Florida Statutes, nor will anything herein be read as increasing the
liability of the Licensee to any person or entity beyond the limits of liability for which the
Licensee could be held liable under Section 768.28, Florida Statutes. This revision reflects the
fact that political subdivisions (like the Licensee) are prohibited by the state constitution from
waiving sovereign immunity and is an attempt to harmonize the language of indemnity with
state law.
18. LICENSES, AUTHORIZATIONS, AND PERMITS. Licensee shall obtain, or
cause to be obtained, and maintain in full force and effect throughout the term of this Agreement,
at its sole expense, all licenses, authorizations and permits that are necessary for Licensee

cost of said applications and obtaining said licenses, authorizations and permits.
19. COMPLIANCE WITH ALL LAWS APPLICABLE. Licensee accepts this
Agreement and hereby acknowledges that Licensee's strict compliance with all applicable
federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations is a condition of this Agreement, and
Licensee shall comply therewith as the same presently exist and as they may be amended
hereafter. This Agreement shall be construed and enforced according to the laws of the State of
Florida.
20. SURRENDER OF PROPERTY. In the event of termination of this Agreement
Licensee shall peacefully surrender the Property in good condition and repair, pursuant to
Paragraph 5. Upon surrender, Licensee shall promptly remove any equipment, property, and
furnishings from the Property and Licensee shall repair any damage to the Property caused
thereby. Should Licensee fail to repair any damage caused to the Property within thirty (40)
days after receipt of written notice from SEOPW CRA directing the required repairs, SEOPW
CRA shall cause the Property to be repaired at the sole cost and expense of Licensee. Licensee
shall pay SEOPW CRA the full cost of such repairs within thirty (30) days of receipt of an invoice
Page 7 of 14
Packet Pg. 43
indicating the cost of such required repairs, together with interest thereon, at the maximum rate
allowed by Florida law until repaid. In the event Licensee fails to remove Licensee's equipment,
property, and furnishings from the Property within the time limit set by the notice, said property
shall be deemed abandoned and thereupon shall become the sole personal property of the
SEOPW CRA. The SEOPW CRA, at its sole discretion and without liability, may remove
and/or dispose of same as SEOPW CRA sees fit, all at Licensee's sole cost and expense.
21. SEVERABILITY. It is the express intent of the parties that this Agreement
constitutes a revocable license and not a lease. To further this intent, the parties agree as follows:
(i) if any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any circumstance, suggest
that a lease, rather than a license, has been created, then such provision shall be interpreted in
the light most favorable to the creation of a license; and (ii) if any provision of this Agreement,
or the application thereof to any circumstance, is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction
to have created a lease rather than a license, then such provision shall be stricken and, to the
fullest extent possible, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby
and shall continue to operate and remain in full force and effect. With regard to those provisions
which do not affect the parties intent for this Agreement, should any provision, section,
paragraph, sentence, word or phrase contained in this Agreement be determined by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable under the laws ofthe State
of Florida, such provision, section, paragraph, sentence, word or phrase shall be deemed
modified to the extent necessary in order to conform with such laws, or if not modifiable, then
same shall be deemed severable, and in either event, the remaining terms and provisions of this
Agreement shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect or limitation of its use.
22. NONDELEGABILITY, Licensee cannot assign, sell, convey, pledge, encumber,
dispose, or transfer its privilege and use granted unto it by this Agreement in whole or in part.
Any assignment, sale, disposition, or transfer of this Agreement or any interest therein by Licensee shall
result in the automatic termination of this Agreement without notice by the SEOPW CRA.
23. PUBLIC RECORDS; MAINTENANCE OF RECORDS. This Agreement shall
be subject to Florida's Public Records Laws, Chapter 119, Florida Statutes. The parties
understand the broad nature of these laws and agree to comply with Florida's Public Records

of. the City of Miami (Miami City Code Chapter 2, Article V), Miami -Dade County, Florida
(Dade County Code, Section 2-11,1 et. seq.) and of the State of Florida as set forth in the Florida
Statutes and agrees that it will fully comply in all respects with the terms of said laws and any
future amendments thereto. Licensee covenants that no person or entity under its employ,
presently exercising any functions or responsibilities in connection with this Agreement, has

4.3.a

voluntarily and intentionally waive any right either may have to a trial by jury in respect of any
action, proceeding or counterclaim based on this Agreement, or arising out of', under or in
connection with this Agreement or any amendment or modification of this Agreement, or any
other agreement executed by and between the parties in connection with this Agreement, or any
course of conduct, course of dealing, statements (whether verbal or written) or actions of any
party hereto. This waiver of jury trial provision is a material inducement for the SEOPW CRA
and Licensee entering into the subject transaction.
26. WAIVER. Any waiver by either party or any breach by either party of any one
or more of the covenants, conditions or provisions of this Agreement shall not be construed to
be a waiver of any subsequent or other breach of the same or any covenant, condition or
provision of. this Agreement, nor shall any failure on the part of the SEOPW CRA to require or
exact full and complete compliance by Licensee with any of the covenants, conditions or
provisions of this Agreement be construed as in any manner changing the terms hereof to prevent
the SEOPW CRA from enforcing in full the provisions hereto, nor shall the terms of this
Agreement be changed or altered in any manner whatsoever other than by written agreement of
the SEOPW CRA and Licensee.
27. FURTHER ACTS. In addition to the acts and deeds recited herein and
contemplated to be performed, executed and/or delivered by the parties, the parties each agree
