In May of 1950, a police precinct was built by renowned Miami architect, Walter G. DeGarmo at 480 NW 11 Street to provide a station house for African American policemen and a courtroom for African American judges in which to adjudicate African American defendants. This building is unique as there is no other known structure in the nation that was designed, devoted to and operated as a separate station house and municipal court for Blacks. The precinct closed in 1963 and the police department was integrated at the main MPD police station. The African -Americans who served here improved their professional status within both the Black and White communities; although, they continued to be treated as second- class citizens. Pioneering efforts of the first five Black patrolmen opened the door for hundreds of African - American men and women to become law enforcement officers in the Miami Police Department. Judge Lawson E. Thomas, one of two judges who presided in the precinct's courthouse, was the first African -American judge appointed in the South since Reconstruction. Judge Thomas distinguished himself as a tireless proponent of racial equality throughout his legal career and was extremely effective in decreasing juvenile delinquency and other crimes within the community. The precinct was restored in 2008 with funding assistance from the City of Miami, the members of the City of Miami Retired Police Officers Community Benevolent Association (COM-R-POCBA), and a generous grant from the Florida Department of State, Division of Historical Resources. The movement to preserve the building was initiated by members of COM-R-POCBA (among them, many who served in the historic precinct) and the late Arthur E. Teele, Jr., City Commissioner. POUCE 11E PROJECT The Board of the Museum would like to build on the accomplishments of the past by transitioning the operation of the Museum from one that was essentially volunteer -driven to one that relies on experienced professionals in the fields of museology, education, fundraising and event production. Through the services of these professionals,. the Board will work to create one of the City of Miami's best museums; one the region's most popular tourist destinations; and one of the community's most precious assets. Our objectives can be met rapidly through our continued and strengthened partnerships with the City of Miami and the SEOPW CRA. With the CRA's financial assistance for one year, we will be able to: • Design and update professionally -developed exhibits in the Museum that will greatly enhance our mission as an educational institution dedicated to the history of the Precinct and Courthouse • Utilize the services of clerical, museum, and event professionals • Fund marketing and outreach • Purchase equipment and software necessary for educational programming • Fund social media and online presence for the Museum • Continue the expansion of community -center programs and projects that underline the mission of the museum, encourages better communication between law enforcement and citizens and offer best practice approaches to trainings, workshops and activities. Furthermore, the Board is committed to reaching financial self-sufficiency via a number of revenue streams that include: • Membership • Annual Campaign • Endowment • Fundraisers • Events • Grants & Foundation Awards • Rentals • Gift Shop Sales FE B R UARY 5, 2019 THE MUSEUM WAS AWARDED NATIONAL DESIGNATION _ d E m d a� Q r R N N 0 N I iz 3 Y v R m N LO 00 _d ii _ m E El Packet Pg. 29 PROJECT NARRATIVE REQUEST Programming will include;ASY Exhibits Design and update professionally -developed exhibits in the Museum on both floors of the museum. The new exhibits will include artifacts and first -person narratives regarding experiences for law enforcement officers in the decade of 1950; experiences in Miami's "Black" courtroom and the desegregation of the Miami Police Department. Other focuses include the initial five Black patrolmen and other "firsts" for African -Americans in Miami law enforcement. The museum has exhibited during Art Basel and supported the collective Art of Black Miami. Education Educational outreach programs will be implemented for K-8 and High school students. The curriculum will focus on issues dealing with bullying, community implicit bias training, law enforcement, self-expression and community projects involving art, preservation, and subsequent exhibits. Girl Scout Troop 1877 was established in 2018 and continues to support young girls throughout the Overtown community. The Museum has a strong track record of schools visiting the site and has worked with 5,000 Role Models and Teen Court, The Museum plans to install Closed Circuit equipment" which will link the courtroom on the second floor to the educational/all-purpose center on the first floor. Marketing and Outreach The Museum will engage in a full marketing and public relations plan spearheaded through staff contributions. The museum will continue its partnership with AAAM and continue to seek Smithsonian affiliate status. The Museum will be featured in print and other media via press releases and advertisements while producing a regularly publish newsletter. Marketing includes working with the Convention and Visitors Bureau and partnering with other venues in Overtown and Miami. The Museum will develop its website and social media presence. Packet Pg. 30 1 I 4.1.b I ....PROJECT NARRATIVE CONTINUE Personnel The Museum will transition from an all -volunteer staff to professionals, including: • Museum Director • Museum Curator • Museum Education Coordinator • Recorder/ Bookkeeper • Oral Historian Facilitator • Docents Project Timeline: The hypothesis of this project is to attract a new systems approach, using the stories and practices of the Black Police Precinct and Courthouse, As a case study for how we might be able to subscribe to a different mindset when it comes to (black) people and law enforcement working together to solve and reduce crime within neighborhoods. For data collection, the project will work directly with the Miami Black Police Associations to assign and assess the practices of Black officers currently working neighborhoods of color. Through a cultivation of collected data, oral interviews; mixed methods research approach, an attractive virtual exhibit will be curated to bring voice to the content's conversation and to the current systems' influencers. From concept to creation, This 7-to-10- month project will set the course for future discussions that potentially invoke policy changes both at the local, state and even national level. The virtual exhibit will be accessible to more than 415 schools; with specific curriculum guided instructions that foster an appreciation for law enforcement and community. Working together to address the problem POUC~ HICLUSION The City of Miami and SEOPW CRA , have a unique opportunity to increase their revenue in the Overtown community by fostering a vibrant and popular Museum, The Board believes that an institution of the magnitude we plan will be an income -driver within the community —bringing Museum visitors to other venues within the community to dine, shop, and frequent other historic sites. We believe in this because our experiences in operating this Museum with very little in the way of financial resources have shown that the Museum has attracted tourists and local visitors in ever-increasing numbers. The City of Miami, SEOPW CRA, and the Museum have a unique partnership opportunity, The Museum is destined to increase its attendance, educational outreach, and impact in the community. This translates to a significant economic impact on the community of Overtown and national attention for the City of Miami. We thank you and respectfully request your support. We direct your attention to the attached Budget Narrative and the proposed Expense and Revenue Budget. Fundraising Event Production and Gift Shop The Museum will contract with an Event Producer to create fund and awareness -raising events appropriate to the Museum's mission. The Events Producer will also merchandise and purchase inventory for the Gift Shop. It is projected that the events will grow through time and be a reliable source of revenue for the Museum. Proposed fundraising projects include: Ball & Chain Themed Weddings Pioneer's Gala or Caps & Robbers Ball e Black.

Packet Pg. 37 4.2 SEOPW Board of Commissioners Meeting November 20, 2025 SOUTHEAST OVERTOWN/PARK WEST COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM To: Board Chair Christine King and Members of the CRA Board l ,r C From: James McQueen Executive Director BACKGROUND: Date: November 13, 2025 File: 18528 Subject: Establishing Emergency Rental Assistance Program for FY 2025- 2026. Enclosures: File # 18528 - Backup_ERAP 2026 Tenant Emergency Assistance Application File # 18528 - Backup_ERAP 2026 Property Owner Affidavit A Resolution of the Board of Commissioners of the Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency ("SEOPW CRA"), establishing the SEOPW CRA Emergency Rental Assistance Program ("Program"), authorizing the allocation of an amount not to exceed Five Hundred Thousand Dollars and Zero Cents (S500,000.00) ("Funds"), to the Program for Fiscal Year ("FY") 2025-2026 for the provision of rent relief to residents throughout the SEOPW CRA Redevelopment Area due to increasing housing costs, as an improved rendition of the former program established in FY 2022-2024 ("Purpose"). Eli ig bility: The tenants to be assisted under this program will fall under one of the following two categories: one (1) As verified by their respective rent ledgers, tenants who are behind on their rent payments, where the one- time payment maximum (S5,000) OR LESS will suffice the rental arrears' amount and bring their rental payments "up to date." Two (2) At the discretion of the Executive Director, for tenants whose arrears exceed the maximum payment of $5,000, they may receive an additional amount to suffice saving the tenant from eviction. All tenant applicants must receive affidavit approval from property owner that said tenant will be "up to date" and safe from eviction via the receipt of grant. Packet Pg. 38 Additionally, in a similar fashion to municipality ERAPs of the past years during COVID relief, tenant applicant household income will be limited to 80% AMI. In other words, applicant household incomes above this threshold will not be eligible. Outreach: Furthermore, contrary to the previous ERAP rendition, program outreach will be primarily done through property owners. Property owners will have to present proper and accurate rent roll/ledgers of all potential tenant applicants based on the above. Additionally, there will be general rolling deadlines throughout grant funding dissemination. Each rolling deadline will require two (2) levels of hard deadlines: First (1 st) from the property owners to cooperate and provide rent ledger information, as well as any other pertinent information of prospective applicants the CRA may ask of, and then Second (2 d), from the owner - recommended tenants to cooperate and provide further necessary documentation. Additionally, property owners will be contacted "en manse" at random order to seek their participation into the program; tenants will not be able to usurp the recommendation of the property owner to receive the assistance directly from the SEOPW CRA. Finally, tenant applicants will receive a voluntary avenue to complete a free online personal budgeting/financial literacy course. U11by1NIW14 VY[/AE Pursuant to Section 163.335(6), Florida Statutes, of the Community Redevelopment Act (the "Act"), found and declared that there exists "... a severe shortage of housing affordable to residents of low or moderate income, including the elderly... [and] such [conditions] affect the health, safety and welfare of the residents ... and retards their growth and economic and social development ...." Section 2, Goal 6, of the Plan, supports "improv[ing] the quality of life [and] creating housing ...... as a stated redevelopment goal. Section 2, Principle 2, of the Plan, proposes that the "neighborhood . . . retain access to affordable housing," as a stated redevelopment principle. Section 2, Principle 3, of the Plan, discusses that there "must be variety in [affordable] housing options," as a stated redevelopment principle. Lastly, Section 2, Principle 14, of the Plan, also provides to "restore a sense of community and unify the area culturally... to do whatever is in [the CRA's] power to bring back... Overtown its... sense of place [and] cultural distinctiveness" as a stated redevelopment principle. FUNDING: $500,000.00 from SEOPW "Other Grants and Aids" Account No. 10050.920101.883000.0000.00000. FACT SHEET: Entity name: Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment ("SEOPW CRA") Agency Address: 819 N.W. 2nd Avenue, 3rd floor, Miami, FL 33136 Number of participants: —100 tenant residential households. Page 2 of 8 Packet Pg. 39 Funding allocation: $500,000.00 Term: Early 2026 until funds run out. Stipend provided? Yes, a stipend to participating property owners for the benefit of their eligible tenants. Previous tenant grantees from the original ERAP may be eligible for this new rendition of the program but may, once again, only receive one payment per household under this new rendition. Age range of participants: Adults of legal tenant and property -owning age, 18 and up. Scope of work or services (Summary): This is a new rendition of the former Purpose of the Program that occurred from FY 2022-2024, informed by the original administering of the program, as today's tenants of the metro area continue to suffer from rising rental costs that far surpass the rise in local wages. This rendition of the Program will be informed by, and therefore will be executed much differently than, the original — the original having been largely imitative of the federally funded COVID-relief municipality programs. This program will primarily be dealt with and through the property owners, also including the payments made directly to them. The owners (or their agents) would have to want to participate and provide the appropriate rent ledgers as documented proof of tenant's eligibility. Owners may be given a standardized template to more easily document deficit amount for our records. We will also communicate/enforce the 80% AMI threshold as part of the tenant eligibility. Properties will be selected at random. Tenants cannot usurp the owner to receive the grant. All tenant applicants will be provided with information to access the free online financial literacy course to be taken voluntarily. Lastly, the payment will match the rent ledger provided deficit amount, up to $5,000 or less, with exceptions to exceed that amount to be approved by the Executive Director.

Sample size and the extent to which statistical sampling is to be used in the engagement. HCT utilizes several tools when selecting samples, in addition to considering sample sizes as suggested by the PPC as tailored for each individual client, we also utilize the AICPA Audit Guide for Audit Sampling. HCT will utilize statistical and non -statistical sampling when performing various test work, as appropriate. During tests of controls, we will utilize attributes sampling to verify documented controls are in place and functioning for each major transaction cycle. The purpose of the controls test work is to test the deviation rate of a control to support our initial assessment of control risk. Because we would like to support a low level of control risk, and therefore decrease the level of testing required in substantive (or "final" test work), our samples will be randomly selected, with each item of the defined population having an equal chance of selection. We will verify the population is "complete" and that the sample is representative of the population, e.g., that the sample expresses the same characteristics of the population based on such factors as fund type, number of transaction types, processing methodology, etc. HCT is in the business of external auditing governmental entities. We have the knowledge and the experience to resolve any potential problems that could occur during the audit engagement. HCT believes in good communication. We have the staff as well as the expertise to meet all the SEOPW CRA's requirements. As long as there is open communication between management and our staff, we will be able to identify and anticipate any significant problems before they occur. 4. Extent of Use of IT Applications in the Engagement Information management has become a vital process in both public and private entities. Although the systems used to gather, sort, and distribute information are becoming more sophisticated, the chance of system malfunction is also rising, a risk that could have major ramifications. Due to the significance of this risk, members of the engagement team have System -Data Risk Management experience. Our IT auditor will evaluate the electronic data processing general controls within the computer environment as specifically related to the information flows and will advise the other engagement team members as to how the IT systems affects the planned audit procedures. The IT auditor would then perform specific tests and prepare a written document addressing procedures, processes, and controls. All professionals assigned to the engagement have received extensive training (provided to all HCT professionals) in computer skills. 27 Packet Pg. 121 SECTION 5.5 — ABILITY AND CAPABILITY TO PERFORM SERVICES (continued) S, Type and extent of analytical procedures to be used in the engagement. Analytical procedures are an important part of the audit process and consist of evaluations of financial information made by a study of plausible relationships among both financial and nonfinancial data. Analytical procedures range fi-orn simple comparisons to the use of complex models involving many relationships and elements of data. A basic premise underlying the application of analytical procedures is that plausible relationships among data may reasonably be expected to exist and continue in the absence of known conditions to the contrary. Particular conditions that can cause variations in these relationships include, for example, specific unusual transactions or events, accounting changes, business changes, random fluctuations, or misstatements. 5. Analytical Procedures in Planning the Audit The put -pose of applying analytical procedures in planning the audit is to assist in planning the nature, timing, and extent of auditing procedures that will be used to obtain evidential matter for specific account balances or classes of transactions. To accomplish this, HCT uses analytical procedures used in planning the audit should focus on (a) enhancing the auditor's understanding of the client's business and the transactions and events that have occurred since the last audit date, and (b) identifying areas that may represent specific risks relevant to the audit. Thus, the objective of the procedures is to identify such things as the existence of unusual transactions and events, and amounts, ratios and trends that might indicate :matters that have financial statement and audit planning ramifications. HCT etnploys analytical procedures in planning the audit generally use data aggregated at a high level. Furthermore, the sophistication, extent and timing of the procedures, which are based on the auditor's Judgment. may vary widely depending on the size and complexity of the client. For some entities, the procedures may consist of reviewing changes in account balances from the prior to the current year using the general ledger or the auditor's preliminary or unadjusted working trial balance. In contrast, for other entities, the procedures might involve an extensive analysis of quarterly financial statements. In both cases, the analytical procedures, combined with the auditor's knowledge of the business, serve as a basis for additional inquiries and effective planning. Packet Pg. 122 4.3.a SECTION 5.5 - ABILITY AND CAPABILITY TO PERFORM SERVICES (continued) Although analytical procedures used in planning the audit often use only financial data, sometimes relevant nonfinancial information is considered as well. For example. number of employees, square footage of selling space, volume of goods produced, and similar information may contribute to accomplishing the purpose of the procedures. 7. Analytical Procedures Used as Substantive Test Our reliance on substantive tests to achieve an audit objective related to a particular assertion may be derived from tests of details, from analytical procedures, or from a combination of both. The expected effectiveness and efficiency of an analytical procedure in identifying potential misstatements depends on, among other things, (a) the nature of the assertion. (b) the plausibility and predictability of the relationship, (c) the availability and reliability of the data used to develop the expectation, and ((� the precision of the expectation. 8. Analytical Procedures Used in the Overall Review The objective of analytical procedures used in the overall review stage of the audit is to assist the auditor in assessing the conclusions reached and in the evaluation of the overall financial statement presentation. A wide variety of analytical procedures may be useful for this purpose. The overall review would generally include reading the financial statements and notes and considering (a) the adequacy of evidence gathered in response to unusual or unexpected balances identified in planning the audit or in the course of the audit and (b) unusual or unexpected balances or relationships that were not previously identified. Results of an overall review may indicate that additional evidence may be needed. 9. Approach to be taken to gain and document an understanding of the SEOPW CRA internal control structure. The first step in performing the audit will be the preliminary evaluation of the computer systems covering: l . How the computer function is organized 2. Use of computer hardware and software 3.

The preliminary evaluation will identify potential key controls and any serious key control weaknesses, For each control objective, auditors will determine whether or not the objective has been achieved; if not, we will assess the significance and risks involved with due to control deficiencies. After completing the preliminary evaluation of the computer systems, HCT will determine the appropriate audit approach for specific task order. 10, Approach to be taken in determining laws and regulations that will be subject to audit test work. HCT's approach in determining laws and regulations that will be subject to audit test work involves research of applicable State and Federal Statutes, local ordinances, the Auditor General, etc. We monitor new laws and maintain up-to-date training to ensure we have timely knowledge of any changes that affect our industry or our clients. Information is obtained through examination of the law/ordinance creating the municipality. We interview the SEOPW CRA and contact our associates at the Auditor General and, if necessary, Federal contacts (such as cognizant agents or grantor agencies). We also review minutes, prior to leaving the field, to ensure we have complete understanding of any new SEOPW CRA Commissioners mandates or ordinances. We examine the entities' policies and procedures to determine compliance with applicable laws and regulations. And, finally, before leaving the field or opining on compliance. we obtain attorney confirmation letters to substantiate any contingent liabilities that may arise due to pending litigation as well as perform a search for related party transactions. When determining which laws and regulations will be subject to analysis, we assess both the qualitative as well as the quantitative risks of non-compliance in consideration of external parties and/or public perception. For example, while we have always obtained related party confirmations from Commission members and upper management, we have recently lowered our materiality scope to analyze all possible instances of noncompliance. Because of the current climate related to SEOPW CRA Commissioners and senior management in Florida, an organization does not have incur a material instance of related party noncompliance for the SEOPW CRA and the general perception can be adverse. a Packet Pg. 124 4.3.a Audit Segmentation Detail Approach to be taken in drawing audit samples for purposes of tests of eontplianec Planning f Internal Control 1 Compliance Engagement • Communication with those charged with governance to discuss goals, audit Administration timetable, audit work plan and particular areas of specialized concentration. and Planning ■ Make preliminary assessment of the SEOPW CRA, its environment. and its internal controls. • Update systems documentation and permanent file information. • Review status of prior -year audit recommendations or findings, if any, and Partner, ascertain whether they were appropriately resolved.

The Firm's office is located outside of the City of Miami in Unincorporated Miami -Dade County. See copy of the Firm's Occupational License (i.e. Local Business Tax Receipt) in the Appendix to this proposal. Audit Approach and Work Plan Richie Tandoc, P.A.'s approach to the audit involves measured planning of all activities and identifying key people and significant audit issues early in the process. The Firm believes that this approach represents a common sense, understanding and basic method for conducting an efficient engagement. A significant element of this approach will be the team of professionals highly experienced in servicing entities of similar size and complexity. Richie Tandoc, P.A.'s standard practice is to have the entire audit team, including the Partners, Director, Managers, and Supervisors/Seniors, involved in all aspects of the audit process. Being a small Firm, Richie Tandoc, P.A. prides itself on the exceptional client service we provide and the amount of involvement of our Partner and Managers in our audit and consulting engagements. Our Partner and Managers are generally at the client's site, at a minimum, two to three times a week. In order to perform the audit in the most efficient and effective manner possible, the audit, and involvement of each professional, will be conducted in the following four phases: SEOPW COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY lase I - Phase II - Pbnse III - Phase 1\' - Audit Interim 1 e:ir-end Exit Planning Fieldwork substanti%v Conference I e\ting, and Reporting Phase I \\Ill Phase 11 will take appro\ take: appro\.

Adequate planning ensures prompt completion of all auditing and reporting requirements and close coordination to provide our services in the most efficient basis. The initial stage will commence at the earliest available time following our selection as auditors. Richie Tandoc, P.A. will make a detailed preliminary review of the financial and accounting operations. This will allow the auditors to identify at an early stage any known accounting, auditing or reporting matters to be resolved and anticipate any potential problems from any planned, pending or probable developments. Furthermore, Richie Tandoc, P.A. will be able to assign audit priorities and arrange for assistance and coordination with accounting and audit personnel. After a preliminary review of the financial and accounting operations, Richie Tandoc, P.A. will perform a pre -field work conference with management. The purpose of the conference is to: (1) Establish meeting dates with management to discuss the planned audit approach and engagement status. (2) Schedule dates for client assistance schedules. (3) Identify potential problems and audit priorities. After the meeting with appropriate management officials, Richie Tandoc, P.A. will define the specific engagement objectives. In defining the objectives unique to each assignment, Richie Tandoc, P.A. will review the reliability and integrity of existing systems and preliminarily assess how these procedures and policies meet the engagement objectives. Richie Tandoc, P.A. will then use this accumulated information concerning systems controls to develop a specific approach. At this point, the team will discuss audit program procedures with the staff members to ensure that procedures are appropriate for matters scheduled for audit examination. Emphasis will be given to enhancing audit programs which, when executed, will provide assurance that all procedures are properly carried out and reported on as mandated. Richie Tandoc, P.A. stresses maintaining professional judgment when developing audit programs by focusing on what the professional requirements recommend. Upon completion of developing audit programs, timetables will be re -visited with management to ensure the documents, schedules and reports requested will be provided within stated time frames and assist with monitoring the audit team's progress. Phase II — Interim Fieldwork Compliance Test and Procedures One of the primary differences between auditing in the public and private sectors is the need to test for compliance with laws and regulations in public sector audits. Richie Tandoc, P.A. will plan the audit, where applicable to detect instances of noncompliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contract and grants, that could have a material effect on the financial statements. The approach to audit effectiveness for compliance with laws and regulations, include, but are not limited to: Discussing compliance requirements with Finance personnel and the legal staff to identify areas of particular concern; Documenting procedures and controls used to monitor compliance; Identifying events that could lead to instances of potential noncompliance; Page 1 11 `—dire Tmgdoc, ?,A, X .2 "rind N&W AUNIotm:t & CN,wlrw,t Packet Pg. 165 1 I 4.3.a I SOUTHEAST OVERTOWN/PARK WEST CRA ■ Reviewing minutes of the appropriate board meetings; and ■ Performing additional specific testing as deemed appropriate. Review of Accounting Controls and Test of Transactions During this phase, Richie Tandoc, P.A. will focus on establishing a thorough understanding of administrative and internal accounting controls that relate directly to the accuracy and reliability of financial information. Specifically, Richie Tandoc, P.A. will evaluate how information in the general ledger is compiled, processed and used to prepare financial reports. This evaluation includes both manual and EDP controls. Features relevant to a particular system depend on: ■ The actual activities and control procedures in effect; ■ How control procedures are executed and; ■ How responsibility for their execution is segregated. Controls will be documented, and evidence gathered on the effectiveness of controls through inquiry, observation, inspection of documents, records and reports and re -performance of procedures, for each significant class of transaction to determine the following objectives, where applicable: Authorization Transactions are executed in accordance with management's general or specific authorization. Recording Transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with criteria applicable to such statements and to maintain accountability for assets. Access to Assets Access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management's authorization. Asset Accountability The recorded accountability of assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to differences. Upon completion of our evaluation and test of controls, we will develop preliminary management comments and internal control recommendations, if any. Audit programs will be prepared for the final phase of our audit work that will focus on the areas of audit risk determined in part by the level of reliance placed on internal controls. Thereafter, we expect to begin detailed testing of transactions. Detail tests shall encompass the cash receipts/revenue cycle, disbursements/expenditure cycle, and payroll cycle, at a minimum, to determine compliance with internal controls, guidelines and contractual obligations previously documented. Further, we will begin certain analytical procedures (such as fluctuation analysis, budget versus actual, and ratio analysis, where applicable). Upon the completion of our interim fieldwork, we will review our preliminary findings, if any, with both management and other appropriate staff members, to avert surprises at year-end. Phase III - Year-end Suhstantive Testing We will begin year-end substantive testing immediately upon the availability of Finance staff and the year-end closing. Based upon the results of interim testing, we will finalize our detailed tests of account balances. Audit programs will be updated to recognize and address concerns that arise during interim testing.

X r i nfia pelt i>tottwiwt i Con:ad.an+ Packet Pg. 166 1 4.3.a SOUTHEAST OVERTOWN/PARK WEST CRA During this phase, we will complete our analytical review of operations and assess the impact of confirmation procedures. Financial statements will be reviewed to ensure compliance with generally accepted accounting principles. Also, we will initiate discussions with management and obtain responses regarding our audit findings and internal control and operational recommendations, if any, and discuss all audit adjustments with the appropriate personnel. Phase IV— E t Conference and Reporting The audit concludes with an exit conference conducted with representatives of Finance staff and Audit Committee, if applicable. We will Formalize responses to all audit findings and internal control recommendations, if any. We will discuss all significant matters noted during our examination with required action plans for corrections. We will then issue final reports, with the approval of management, including our audit reports on the financial statements, the reports on internal control over financial reporting and on compliance and other matters, and the management letter with recommendations to increase efficiency, improve internal controls and enhance operations. Overall, we feel that our audit approach is efficient, effective and beneficial to the Agency because it is designed to provide solutions that are tailored to your specific needs. More importantly, it provides feedback on the operational efficiency behind the financial statements and what might be done to improve them in the future.

Any such notice of assignment shall indicate: (i) the name of the assignee and the assignee's contact information, and (ii) any other terms or provisions applicable thereto and mutually agreed to as between Developer and the assignee (the "Assignment Notice").

For avoidance of doubt, the Landlord may include a line item for such fees in the rent charged to the tenants of the Affordable Units provided that such fees are treated as a subset of rent (i.e. does not result in an increase in the rent that Landlord is permitted to charge the tenants of the Affordable Units). The only additional fees that Landlord may charge tenants of the Affordable Units consist of the following: (1) parking; (2) late fees, legal fees, fines and other similar charges resulting from a default under the tenant's lease agreement; (3) security deposit in the amount of one month rent; (4) prepayment of the first and last month rent; and (5) elective fees such as pet rent and pet fees, damage charges and other elective/optional services provided through third parties or the Developer.

Based upon the questionnaire, the Prospective Tenant List will be compiled in an excel spreadsheet (or an equivalent software program), which will be accessible at all times to the CRA through a common shared drive (or an equivalent technology). The Prospective Tenant List will list in priority order prospective tenants based upon two factors: (i) the date the prospective tenant submitted its questionnaire to either the CRA or the Developer and (ii) whether such prospective tenant lives or works within the Redevelopment Area. Prospective tenants will be listed (i) by the date that the questionnaire is first received with prospective tenants who live or work in the Redevelopment Area moved ahead on the Prospective Tenant List of prospective tenants who do not live or work in the Redevelopment Area even though prospective tenants who do not live or work in the Redevelopment Area submitted their questionnaire earlier (the 0 #517935072 v19 Packet Pg. 240 4.5.b "Redevelopment Area Priority") The Developer will offer available Affordable Housing Units to the prospective tenants based on the priority order reflected in Prospective Tenant List; provided, however, that Developer may reject a prospective tenant based on the application of the Developer's eligibility and other screening criteria.
