G. WHEREAS, on June 23, 2022, the Board of Commissioners passed and adopted Resolution
No. CRA-R-22-0023 attached hereto as Exhibit "A", authorizing the issuance of a grant, in an amount not to

with the Program (the "Grant"); and
H. WHEREAS, the parties wish to enter into this Agreement to set forth the terms and conditions
relating to the use of the Grant.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises of the parties contained herein and other
good and valuable consideration, receipt and sufficient of which is hereby acknowledged, the SEOPW CRA
and Grantee agree as follows:
1. RECITALS. The Recitals to this Agreement are true and correct, and are incorporated herein
by referenced and made a part hereof.
2. GRANT. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and Grantee's compliance with all
of its obligations hereunder, the SEOPW CRA hereby agrees to make available, to Grantee, the Grant to be used
for the purpose and disbursed in the manner hereinafter provided.
3. USE OF GRANT. The Grant shall be used to underwrite costs associated with the Program, in
accordance with Scope of Work and Budget in Exhibit `B", attached hereto and incorporated herein. The SEOPW
CRA is not obligated to expend additional funds beyond the approved grant.
4. TERM. The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date written above and shall
terminate upon the earlier of one (1) year from the Effective Date written above, full disbursement of Sixty -Three
Thousand Dollars and No Cents ($63,000.00), or earlier as provided for herein; provided, however, that the following
rights of the SEOPW CRA shall survive the expiration or early termination of this Agreement: to audit or inspect; to
require reversion of assets; to enforce representations, warranties, and certifications; to exercise entitlement to
remedies, limitation of liability, indemnification, and recovery of fees and costs.
5. DISBURSEMENT OF GRANT.
a. GENERALLY. Subject to the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, the
SEOPW CRA shall make available to Grantee up to Sixty -Three Thousand Dollars and No Cents ($63,000.00).
In no event shall payments to Grantee under this Agreement exceed Sixty -Three Thousand Dollars and No
Cents ($63,000.00). Payments shall be made to Grantee or directly to vendors on behalf of Grantee, only after the
SEOPW CRA has received and approved requests for disbursement in accordance with the SEOPW CRA and Grantee
approved Scope of Work and Budget.
b. REQUESTS FOR DISBURSEMENT OF GRANT FUNDS. All requests for the
disbursement of grant funds shall be submitted in writing to the SEOPW CRA by Grantee's authorized
representative prior to the termination of this Agreement. All such requests must be accompanied by supporting
documents reflecting the use of grant funds in accordance with the Program's approved Scope of Work
and Budget, as reflected in Exhibit "B". For purposes of this Agreement, "supporting documentation" may
include invoices, receipts, photographs, and any other materials evidencing the expense incurred. Grantee
agrees that all invoices or receipts reflecting the expenses incurred in connection to the Program shall be
in Grantee's name, and not in the name of the SEOPW CRA in light of Grantee's inability to bind the SEOPW
CRA to any legal and/or monetary obligation whatsoever. The SEOPW CRA reserves the right to request
additional supporting documentation for any expenditures, and the SEOPW CRA reserves the right to deny any
and all requests it deems to be outside of the approved Scope of Work and Budget. Grantee's failure to provide
additional supporting documentation or explanation regarding expenses incurred, when requested by the
SEOPW CRA, shall serve as grounds for immediate termination of this Agreement, and Grantee solely shall
bear all costs associated with any expenditures not approved by the SEOPW CRA.
c. CASH TRANSACTIONS PROHIBITED. The parties agree that no payment will be
made to Grantee as a reimbursement for any Program -specific expenditure paid in cash. Grantee acknowledges
that a cash transaction is insufficient per se to comply with record -keeping requirements under this Agreement.
d. NO ADVANCE PAYMENTS. The SEOPW CRA shall not make advance payments to
the Grantee or Grantee's vendors for services not performed or for goods, materials, or equipment which have not
been delivered to the Grantee for use in connection with the Program.
6. COMPLIANCE WITH POLICIES AND PROCEDURES. Grantee understands that the use of
the Grant is subject to specific reporting, record keeping, administrative, and contracting guidelines and other
requirements affecting the SEOPW CRA's activities in issuing the Grant. The SEOPW CRA agrees to provide
notice of said guidelines and other requirements to Grantee in advance of requiring compliance with same.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Grantee represents and warrants that it will comply, and the
Grant will be used in accordance with all applicable federal, state and local codes, laws, rules, and regulations.
7. REMEDIES FOR NON-COMPLIANCE. If Grantee fails to perform any of its obligations or
covenants hereunder, or materially breaches any of the terms contained in this Agreement, the SEOPW CRA
shall have the right to take one or more of the following actions:
a. Withhold cash payments, pending correction of the deficiency by Grantee;
b. Recover payments made to Grantee;
c. Disallow (that is, deny the use of the Grant for) all or part of the cost for the activity
or action not in compliance;
d. Withhold further awards for the Program; or
e. Take such other remedies that may be legally permitted.

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 Laws, and laws relating to records retention.
Moreover, in furtherance of the SEOPW CRA's audit rights in Section 8(c) below, the Grantee acknowledges
and accepts the SEOPW CRA's right to access the Grantee's records, legal representatives', and contractors'
records, and the obligation of the Grantees to retain and to make those records available upon request, and in
accordance with all applicable laws. The Grantee shall keep and maintain records to show its compliance with
this Agreement. In addition, the Grantee's contractors and subcontractors must make available, upon the SEOPW
CRA's request, any books, documents, papers, and records which are directly pertinent to this specific
Agreement for the purpose of making audit, examination, excerpts, and transcriptions. The Grantee, its
contractors and subcontractors shall retain records related to this Agreement or the Program for a period of five
(5) years after the expiration, early termination or cancellation of this Agreement.
b. REPORTS. The Grantee shall deliver to the SEOPW CRA reports relating to the use of the
Grant to the SEOPW CRA on a monthly basis, including details regarding supportive services provided to residents
of the Redevelopment Area. Failure to provide said reports shall result in grant funds being withheld until Grantee
has complied with this provision. Thereafter, continued failure by Grantee in providing such reports shall be
considered a default under this Agreement.
c. AUDIT RIGHTS. The SEOPW CRA shall have the right to conduct audits of the
Grantee's records pertaining to the Grant and to visit the Program, in order to conduct its monitoring and
evaluation activities. Grantee agrees to cooperate with the SEOPW CRA in the performance of these activities.
Such audits shall take place at a mutually agreeable date and time.
d. FAILURE TO COMPLY. Grantee's failure to comply with these requirements or the

to the extent practicable, prior to the performance of services hereunder, provided, however, that Grantee

reserves the right to require the provision by Grantee 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

Mr. James McQueen, Director

Community Redevelopment Agency

Miami, FL 33136
Dear Mr. McQueen:
Thank you for the opportunity to submit a proposal to enhance our broadcasting capability from the
Historic Community of Overtown. This letter will serve as a summary of the attached proposal.
EYE URBAN TV — Community Internet Broadcasting Company's (EUTV-CIBC) mission is to produce and
promote creative content and archive the rich history and culture of the Overtown Community and
surrounding communities. The mission is carried out by promoting and hosting community heritage
through media, film, and content broadcasted on a 24hr user accessible platform. We are seeking the
support from the SEOPW CRA, to help promote community heritage implemented by programming that
broadcast to over 250,000+ residents and tourists daily.
Through creatively produced content, interviews, commercials, and events ranging from entertainment,
exhibitions, education, and archiving, we have trained numerous interns from the community in media
production and content creation. We know that with your support we can retain those training interns
and provide media production skillsets in a variety of fields for future job potential. This also promotes
entrepreneurship by teaching technology and current Innovations to inspire more creatives to tell our
story and preserve our history. During our 11-year tenure, we have documented and maintained
archives of pre and post developments in the community and has stored them for archival purposes.
Our aim is to assist with the promotion and marketing of the community as a Cultural & Entertainment
Destination and shift the negative connotations that television has produced about Overtown. Our
belief is that by broadcasting positive imagery on our platform, this will aid in making the area more
community pride.
We are humbly requesting consideration from SEOPW CRA to fund our proposal. Your funding will allow
us to increase our ability to broadcast quality entertainment and community programming to a wider
audience while simultaneously allowing us to operate a successful community broadcasting platform
daily.
Respectfully,
Andre "Soul" Williams
