ALSO PRESENT: James McQueen, Executive Director, CRA Vincent Brown, Deputy Executive Director, CRA Domini Gibbs-Sorey, Assistant City Attorney Todd B. Hannon, Clerk of the Board CRA PUBLIC COMMENTS Chair King: At this time, we'll open the floor for public comments. Good afternoon. Good afternoon. Brain Halstead: Good afternoon, good afternoon. I am Brian Halstead. I'm owner at Town Park Plaza North. I'm here to talk about the ongoing construction at Town Park and the problems that we are facing over there. Chair King: Sir, I'm sorry. Mr. Halstead: Yes. Chair King: Town Park is not on the agenda. This is for you to speak on the items that are before us. Mr. Halstead: Okay. The CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency) is in charge of the construction. Chair King: I understand. Mr. Halstead: Can I speak on that? Chair King: That's not on our agenda today. Mr. Halstead: Yes. Chair King: You can make a meeting with the executive director or the deputy director to address your concerns, but that is not before us today. Mr. Halstead: So, the topic that is before us is what exactly? Chair King: All of the resolutions that were just read into the record. Mr. Halstead: Okay, and -- SEOPW CRA Page 1 Printed on 01/02/2025 Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA Meeting Minutes November 21, 2024 Chair King: I'm going to ask staff to meet with you so they can explain that and then we can address your question. Mr. Halstead: But can I have my moment on the floor to speak? I mean, I'm already -- Chair King: Sir, sir, and I am not trying to not give you your moment to speak, but it's not on this agenda. What you are speaking about is not on this agenda. There's no action we can take for what you want to speak about. Mr. Halstead: Yes. Chair King: 1 want to hear your concerns. The executive director can address you. Mr. McQueen? James McQueen (Executive Director) Excuse me for a minute, sir. If you will give me a minute once the meeting is done, I'll sit and talk with you. Mr. Halstead: I feel that I'm -- I mean, I'm already here. Can I just say what I want to say about, you know, what's happening at Town Park and the fact that we are not -- we have been like -- Chair King: Go ahead, sir -- Mr. Halstead: -- more than six years -- yes. Chair King: Sir, I'm going to allow you to, although I have said to you multiple times, that issue is not before us. It's not fair -- Mr. Halstead: Okay, thankyou. Chair King: -- to the staff -- Mr. Halstead: Thank you. Chair King: -- to have you come, but -- Mr. Halstead: -- let me just -- let me just go ahead. Thank you so much. Vincent Brown (Deputy Executive Director/Staff Counsel): Madam Chair, for the record, I'd like the board to know that there's a pending lawsuit surrounding this matter, and I would further ask that we move cautiously, because there is a pending lawsuit that -- Chair King: I see. Mr. Brown: -- he has filed. Chair King: Well, I am under the impression that buildings 1 through 4 have been completed and the residents are moving back in. Mr. McQueen: That is correct, Madam Chair. Chair King: And building 17 should be? Mr. McQueen: Within 60 days, I think, they should be completed. They're finalizing that building also. SEOPW CRA Page 2 Printed on 01/02/2025 Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA Meeting Minutes November 21, 2024 Chair King: Okay. Good morning. I'm sorry, sir, your turn. I'm sorry. Adrian Madriz: It's okay. All right. Adrian Madriz, 1990 Northwest 4th Court, Apartment 11. And I'd like to speak on the first item of the agenda. And HA Contracting has constantly been getting contracts from the CRA, and it doesn't make any sense to me that they continue to be able to do that, because every single time they get a contract, they go over budget, and then the CRA continues to give them contracts. Is there a way you can blacklist them as a contractor? Because there -- they shouldn't be -- continue to be rewarded for these kinds of performance issues with more contracts. And so that's the primary thing that I want to address because it's happening in multiple communities, also at Town Park Plaza North, also at the Town Park Village. And it just -- it seems like the CRA doesn't actually want to take the kind of measures that they can take in order to actually address these problems and these over budget problems and the slow progress of the construction for six years. Chair King: Sir. Sir. One, what you're speaking on -- Mr. Madriz: So, I would just really like to see the CRA take action on this problem. Chair King: Okay. So, one, that wasn't on the agenda, same issue with the gentleman before. And two, the contractor was selected by the Town Park Association, not the CRA. Mr. Madriz: I would like to state for the record that that is not true, that that is not true. The contract states that it is with the association, but the thing is that the checks are made by the CRA. Chair King: The checks are made by the CRA, sir. Mr. Madriz: The checks are made by the CRA, and the money never goes through the treasury of the association. Chair King: Sir. Sir, please don't -- Mr. McQueen: Madam -- madam -- Chair King: Sir, please don't speak over me. One, I don't mind you having your say. No one. However, please tell the truth. The CRA did not select the contractor. The association did. The CRA is paying the grant that allowed the contractor to cone and rehabilitate the units there, private homeownership units. And if I had my say, I would not have done it the way that it was done, but I inherited it. And we are trying to make sure that everyone is moved back into their unit, and had I had my way, I would not have rehabilitated units for investors. Okay? Mr. Madriz: I would agree with you on that one, yeah. Chair King: And the association, not the CRA, selected the contractor. I understand that there have been issues, however, just know that the association, not the CRA, chose the association [sic]. So, thank you for your advocacy. Ma'am, good afternoon. Thema Campbell: Good afternoon, Commissioner King, and the Board of Commissioners. My name is Thema Campbell and I'm the CEO (Chief Executive Officer) for Girl Power Rocks and here also on behalf of Mama Hattie's House. And I wanted to say I'm here in support of items four and six and to say thank you very much. Chair King: Sir, before you leave -- hello, sir, please, because he got up and said something. I want to be fair. Have your two minutes. SEOPW CRA Page 3 Printed on 01/02/2025 Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA Meeting Minutes November 21, 2024 Mr. Halstead: Thank you very much. On the subject of the problem that we're facing for the -- I've been outside of my unit now since 2020. 1 was told 1 -- I own at Town Park. I don't live there, right? 1 was told that the unit -- and my units was in a fantastic position. I didn't need a grant. But everybody had to give up their unit for this renovation that was to take place. It should have only been 400 days, according to the contract between the CRA and the association. That is 2020. We are now in -- I mean, that is 2019. We're now in the end of 2024. I've been paving taxes. I've been paying HOA (Homeowners Association) fees. And I do not have access to my unit in Miami, in Florida, in this year, 2024. And the CRA is basically in charge of, as he said, of the construction. Because I can tell you for a fact, the contractor does not answer -- you were just speaking with the president of the association. The contractor does not answer to the president, the contractor answers and is paid by the CRA. On paper, it shows that the association is in charge, but the association is not in charge. The association does not control the contractors. They did not hire the contractor. They did not chose [sic] them. So, this whole thing is going on with the CRA in charge of the whole situation. And you also said, you made a comment to him that the CRA did -- you also make a comment to him that you do not -- you do not do things for investors. And I can tell you for a fact the CRA is the biggest investor in Town Park because they own the most units. They are the biggest beneficiary of the loan that was given for the renovation. They own 26 units. Those units must go back to the tenant. I have suffered financial loss, and nobody is there to compensate me. They're like, oh, you're an investor. The biggest investor is the CRA, because they own all the units, they influence all the elections with all their votes -- Chair King: Thank you, sir. Mr. Halstead: -- and choose the board. Chair King: Thank you, sir. Mr. Halstead: And that should not be taking place. Chair King: Sir, thank you. And you said you're not an owner, you're an investor? Mr. Halstead: I'm an owner there. I'm an owner. Chair King: Okay. You live there. That's your homestead. Mr. Halstead: I do not live there. Chair King: I see. Okay. Thank you. Mr. Halstead: Yeah, butt own there. Chair King: Thank you. At this time, are there any items up for discussion? Todd B. Hannon (Clerk of the Board): I'm sorry, Chair. I'm just going to officially close the public hearing. Chair King: Please, yes. Public hearing is officially closed. SEOPW CRA Page 4 Printed on 01/02/2025 Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA Meeting Minutes November 21, 2024 CRA RESOLUTION(S) 1.

[Later...] Chair King: If I may have a motion for -- Vice Chair Carollo: If I could inquire on number three. Mr. McKnight [sic], at the risk of not ever getting ribs again, I don't want to -- I don 't want to be a sore thumb, but I don't want to appear ignorant either. So, I need for you to explain this to me. And whatever firm this is, they're leasing a thousand square feet from us, correct? Vincent Brown (Deputy Executive Director/Staff Counsel): Yes, that would be -- we would be the tenant -- pursuant to the development agreement and community benefit agreement between -- Vice Chair Carollo: Okay, we're the tenant or are we leasing it out? Mr. Brown: We're the tenant but we're going to sublease it. Vice Chair Carollo: Okay. So, we're going to sublease it. Mr. Brown: Yes, sir. SEOPW CRA Page 6 Printed on 01/02/2025 Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA Meeting Minutes November 21, 2024 Vice Chair Carollo: Now, it's a ten-year lease, right? Mr. Brown: Correct. Vice Chair Carollo: And they're paying $20,000 out. Mr. Brown: Correct. Vice Chair Carollo: That $20,000 is not coming to us. It's going to whomever we're leasing the property from, correct? Mr. Brown: Correct. Vice Chair Carollo: And who 's paying the $428,000 plus $391,063 maximum in expenditure to operate the property. James McQueen (Executive Director): The CRA (Community Redevelopment Agency) is. Vice Chair Carollo: Well, I'm trying to figure out -- Chair King: It's the CRA 's space that we are trying to make available for a small business -- minority -owned business. Mr. McQueen: When the -- Vice Chair Carollo: Yeah. But the problem that I'm having here is that if you add up the 10 years, the small business is going to pay $200,000, plus 1 see a 5 percent kicker. 1 don't know if that's only the first year or every year. Is it every year or the first year? Mr. McQueen: The 5 percent kicker will be each -- each year. Vice Chair Carollo: Each year. Okay. That might get closer even though it won't. Bottom line is that we're doing this because we want to get out of that property, correct? Mr. McQueen: No, well, the original contract between the CRA and the developers of Block 55 called for some spaces to be set aside for small minority businesses. Vice Chair Carollo: Right. Mr. McQueen: And -- and -- but those businesses also have to be supported in building out the spaces. They couldn't afford to build out the spaces in those -- in those properties. So, this is our attempt to support a small business, a young man who's, you know, has continued to, you know -- you know, we're trying to support businesses that normally would not be able to be in spaces. Vice Chair Carollo: Well, how much are they putting into this? Or are we financing everything for them? Mr. McQueen: Well -- Vice Chair Carollo: What percent are they putting into this? Because if someone doesn't have any gain into a business, you know, it's real easy to just walk away from it then. Board Member Gabela: Yeah, I think you're talking about skin in the game. Chair King: They have skin in the game. This is -- what we're trying to do is to not lose Overtown in Overtown and to encourage minority businesses. It is a -- we hope that this SEOPW CRA Page 7 Printed on 01/02/2025 Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA Meeting Minutes November 21, 2024 business will he a successful business. It is a -- it's a rapidly growing industry and 1 believe that at some point in the future, this business, it is my prayer that they will be able to pay market rate rent. Vice Chair Carollo: Well, we hope that they all will, particularly f we're putting so much money down payment for a business, but my question is, how much are they investing in this? Mr. McQueen: Well, first of all, Commissioner, it's important to understand that the actual tenant has not been selected. We're putting this money aside because our estimates are, and this is how much it would cost to build out that space based on our conversations with the developers of Block 55. Vice Chair Carollo: That's a huge amount. I mean, 1 know that everything has gone up in price, but it's only a thousand square feet. Mr. McQueen: But also -- and it's important to understand that that's up to that amount, you know -- Vice Chair Carollo: Yeah, you're correct. And I was going to say that. Mr. McQueen: It's up to that amount. Vice Chair Carollo: It's up to that amount. Chair King: But it's such a raw space. There's no -- there's no infrastructure in that space, no bathroom, no nothing. It's just that; a square. Even with the AC (Air Conditioning) ducts I believe, it's nothing. Mr. Brown: It's a gray box. Chair King: It's just a box. Mr. Brown: Absolute gray box. Vice Chair Carollo: Alright. Chair King: Commissioner Reyes? Board Member Reyes: Okay, I -- I agree with you, Madam Chair. and that has been one of my main concerns, that we will lose Overtown in Overtown. And I will -- I have been an advocate, not for now, years back, of business creation and business retention in the Southeast Overtown area. That residents of Overtown, they will take -- I mean, they will have the opportunity to set the business in those areas where they are going to prosper, and the businesses are going to be owned by Overtown residents or by somebody that look like an Overtown resident. That is -- have been my -- my. -- I mean, my -- I have, in my discussion, all the time, and Mr. McQueen, you know that I have been all the time asking for that, business creation and business retention. Now, you said to the question of Commissioner Carollo, that how much has the business owner or the potential business owner, how much have they invested? What is their part of the deal? Mr. McQueen: Well, until we make the selection of the actual owner, we can't determine - Vice Chair Carollo: You don't have anybody. Mr. McQueen: Huh? SEOPW CRA Page 8 Printed on 01/02/2025 Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA Meeting Minutes November 21, 2024 Vice Chair Carollo: You don't have anybody yet, so -- Board Member Reyes: No, no, 1 mean -- but I want to clarify that your base, 1 mean, your selection of the -- of the owner is going to require -- Mr. McQueen: Some contribution by -- Board Member Reyes: -- contribution -- Mr. McQueen: Yes. Board Member Reyes: -- and that would have to come to us and see if we would agree with it or not. Mr. McQueen: That is correct. Board Member Reyes: Okay, sir. So, I'm voting for it. Vice Chair Carollo: The point that I want to be clear on, we shouldn't be financing anybody 100 percent to go into business. Mr. McQueen: 1 agree. Commissioner, 1 agree with you wholeheartedly on that. We think that any business that comes Overtown, even small or large businesses, we should not be supporting 100 percent. Everybody has to put something in, bring something to the table in order to occupy spaces that we control. Vice Chair Carollo: Alright. Chair King: So, again, if there's no further discussion, may I have a motion for -- Mr. Brown: Madam. Madam Chair -- Board Member Gabela: I just -- Mr. Brown: -- Items 1, 2, and 9 need to be modified to include the cover memo. That's it. Chair King: Okay. So -- Board Member Gabela: Can I just? Chair King: Yes, go ahead. Board Member Gabela: So, I just wanted to make one observation. I agree that you've got to have some skin in the gauze, you know. That's my thing. But I also understand the problem you have in Overtown. There's not a lot of people with the means to start a business. But my last question -- I'm going vote for this -- but my last question is how do you know what the build -out is if you don't know what the business will be? Chair King: Well, like we just said -- Board Member Gabela: I'm just curious, I'm not -- Chair King: No, no, no, the build -out really is about having a space that can be open to the -- there's no bathroom. There's no air conditioning. Board Member Gabela: So, its like. flooring? SEOPW CRA Page 9 Printed on 01/02/2025 Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA Meeting Minutes November 21, 2024 Chair King: That's dirt. It's -- Mr. McQueen: There is a floor and there's a ceiling, and that's basically what they are turning over to us, and this is just an estimate of what it will cost to build out, and that's why it's important that you realize that we're saying it's up to this amount. We won't spend any more than that. From our -- Chair King: It could be less. It could be less. Mr. McQueen: It could be less, and remember also, as Commissioner Carollo referred, they have to put something in there. Board Member Gabela: Okay, thank you. Mr. McQueen: They have to have a capital contribution of their own, whoever is selected. Board Member Reyes: Okay, okay. That's good. I'm good. Chair King: So, if -- may I have a motion with the -- Todd B. Hannon (Clerk of the Board): Chair? My apologies, so 1 through 9 has already been moved by Commissioner Reyes, seconded by Commissioner Carollo, and 1, 2, and 9, only the backup documents need to be substituted. There's no substantive amendment. Chair King: Okay. Mr. Brown: Correct. Board Member Reyes: But my -- my endorsement of Commissioner Carollo was about the ribs. I was talking about the ribs. I seconded that I think that we should pass a resolution that we will -- we will kick Mr. McQueen from the City Hall unless he comes in with ribs. Vice Chair Carollo: If I remember, part of the deal when he got hired was that he also got to be the part-time barbecue chef Mr. McQueen: I will address your concerns in the immediate. Chair King: So, I have a motion and a second. All in favor? Members of the Board (Collectively): Aye. Chair King: Motion carries unanimously. Thank you,, everyone. Thank you for attending the Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA meeting. SEOPW CRA Page 10 Printed on 01/02/2025 Southeast Overtown/Park West CRA Meeting Minutes November 21, 2024 2.
