Project Summary — Allapattah Community
Soccer Field and more.
Organization Overview
Miami Bethany Community Services, Inc. (MBCS) is a community -based, 501(c)(3) nonprofit
organization in Allapattah that has served the City of Miami for over 30 years by providing
programs focused on community development, food distribution to low-income families, youth
sports and recreational activities, affordable housing initiatives, and support services that
improve the well-being of underserved populations.
City Resolution and Site Authorization
On September 26, 2024, the City of Miami Commission approved a resolution authorizing the
City Manager to execute a license agreement with Miami Bethany Community Services, Inc.
(MBCS) for the use of City -owned properties located at 850 and 920 NW 23rd Street. The
authorization allows the site to be utilized for benevolent and charitable purposes, including food
distribution, and affirms that such use is in the best interest of the City and surrounding
community, while remaining consistent with the original deed restriction requiring the property
to be used for sports or related recreational purposes .
Phase 1— Immediate Site Activation (0-45 Days)
Phase 1 focuses on rapid, limited activation of the site through essential improvements that
enable immediate service delivery without impacting the existing building structure. This
includes installation of temporary utilities, site clearance, and deployment of refrigerated
container units to establish a Food Store operation for low-income families. These actions are
designed to provide immediate relief to vulnerable residents while preparing the site for
subsequent recreational use.
Phase 2 — Community Sports Activation (0-90 Days)
Phase 2 consists of the development and activation of two Soccer-5 community fields and
supporting infrastructure to deliver structured, daily programming for at -risk youth and families.
The fields will operate up to 14 hours per day, serving over 130 youth and families daily and
benefiting more than 40,000 residents annually. This phase directly advances Miami For
Everyone priority areas by increasing youth engagement, providing safe recreational spaces,
reducing exposure to crime and unsafe environments, and strengthening community cohesion
across District 1 and surrounding neighborhoods.

writing setting forth the action so taken shall be signed by all Board members. The

tie, then the vote of the Chair of the Board shall be the deciding vote. The act of the
majority of the Board members serving on the Board or Board Committees and
present at a meeting in which there is a quorum shall be the act of the Board or Board
Committees, unless otherwise provided by the Articles of Incorporation, these Bylaws,
or a law specifically requiring otherwise. If a quorum is not present at a meeting, the
Board members present may adjourn the meeting from time to time without further
notice until a quorum shall be present. However, a Board member shall be

Organization. In addition this Committee shall identify potential sources of funds, take
an active role in enhancing the Board's awareness of fundraising opportunities,
explore opportunities for enhanced public relations and fundraising, and provide an
annual review of the performance of the Organization's fundraising plan.
ARTICLE 9 - STANDARD OF CARE
General
A director shall perform all the duties of a director, including, but not limited to, duties
as a member of any committee of the Board on which the director may serve, in such
MBCS' BYLAWS (Revised Nov. 2024) Pagina 13 de 22
a manner as the director deems to be in the best interest of the Corporation/
Organization and with such care, including reasonable inquiry, as an ordinary,
prudent, and reasonable person in a similar situation may exercise under similar
circumstances.
In the performance of the duties of a director, a director shall be entitled to rely on
information, opinions, reports, or statements, including financial statements and other
financial data, in each case prepared or presented by:
a) One or more officers or employees of the Corporation/Organization whom
the director deems to be reliable and competent in the matters presented;
b) Counsel, independent accountants, or other persons, as to the matters
which the director deems to be within such person's professional or expert
competence; or
c) A committee of the Board upon which the director does not serve, as to
matters within its designated authority, which committee the director deems to
merit confidence, so long as in any such case the director acts in good faith,
after reasonable inquiry when the need may be indicated by the
circumstances, and without knowledge that would cause such reliance to be
unwarranted.
Except as herein provided in Article 8 - Standard of Care, any person who performs
the duties of a director in accordance with the above shall have no liability based
upon any failure or alleged failure to discharge that person's obligations as a director,
including, without limitation of the following, any actions or omissions which exceed
or defeat a public or charitable purpose to which the Corporation/Organization, or
assets held by it, are dedicated.
Loans
The Corporation/Organization shall not make any loan of money or property to, or
guarantee the obligation of, any director or officer, unless approved by the Florida
Attorney General; provided, however, that the Corporation/Organization may
advance money to a director or officer of the Corporation/Organization or any
subsidiary for expenses reasonably anticipated to be incurred in the performance of
the duties of such officer or director so long as such individual would be entitled to
be reimbursed for such expenses absent that advance.
Conflict of Interest
MBCS' BYLAWS (Revised Nov. 2024) Pagina 14 de 22
The purpose of the Conflict of Interest policy is to protect the Corporation/
Organization's interest when it is contemplating entering into a transaction or
arrangement that might benefit the private interest of one of its officers or directors,
or that might otherwise result in a possible excess benefit transaction. This policy is
intended to supplement but not replace any applicable state and federal laws
governing conflict of interest applicable to nonprofit and charitable corporations/
organizations and is not intended as an exclusive statement of responsibilities.
Restriction on Interested Directors
Not more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the persons serving on the Board of
Directors at any time may be interested persons. An interested person is, 1. any
person currently being compensated by the Corporation/Organization for services
rendered to it within the previous twelve (12) months, whether as a full-time or part-
time employee, independent contractor, or otherwise, excluding any reasonable
compensation paid to a director; and 2. any brother, sister, parent, ancestor,
descendent, spouse, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, son -in- law, mother-in-law, or father-
in-law of any such person. However, any violation of the provisions of this section shall
not affect the validity or enforceability of any transaction entered into by the
interested person.
Duty to Disclose
In connection with any actual or possible conflict of interest, an interested person
must disclose the existence of the financial interest and be given the opportunity to
disclose all material facts to the directors who are considering the proposed
transaction or arrangement.
Establishing a Conflict of Interest
After the disclosure of the financial interest and all material facts, and after any
discussion with the interested person, the interested person shall leave the Board
meeting while the potential conflict of interest is discussed and voted upon. The
remaining Board members shall decide if a conflict of interest exists.
Addressing a Conflict of Interest
In the event that the Board should establish that a proposed transaction or
arrangement establishes a conflict of interest, the Board shall then proceed with the
following actions:
MBCS' BYLAWS (Revised Nov. 2024) Pagina 15 de 22
a) Any interested person may render a request or report at the Board meeting,
but upon completion of said request or report the individual shall be excused
while the Board discusses the information and/or material presented and then
votes on the transaction or arrangement proposed involving the possible
conflict of interest.
b) The Chair of the Board of the Board shall, if deemed necessary and
appropriate, appoint a disinterested person or committee to investigate
alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement.
c) After exercising due diligence, the Board shall determine whether the
Corporation/ Organization can obtain with reasonable efforts a more
advantageous transaction or arrangement from a person or entity that would
not give rise to a conflict of interest.
d) If a more advantageous transaction or arrangement is not reasonably
possible under circumstances not producing a conflict of interest, the Board
shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested directors whether the
transaction or arrangement is in the best interest of the Corporation/
Organization, for its own benefit, and whether it is fair and reasonable. It shall
make its decision as to whether to enter into the transaction arrangement in
conformity with this determination.
Violations of Conflict of Interest Policy
Should the Board have reasonable cause to believe an interested person has failed to
disclose actual or possible conflicts of interest, the Board shall then inform the
interested person of the basis for such belief and afford the interested person an
opportunity to explain the alleged failure to disclose.
If, after hearing the interested person's explanation, and after making further
investigation as may be warranted in consideration of the circumstances, the Board
determines the interested person intentionally failed to disclose an actual or possible
conflict of interest, it shall take appropriate disciplinary and corrective action.
Procedures and Records
All minutes of the Board Meetings, when applicable, shall contain the following
information:
a) The names of all the persons who disclosed or otherwise were found to
have a financial interest in connection with an actual or possible conflict of
MBCS' BYLAWS (Revised Nov. 2024) Pagina 16 de 22
interest, the nature of the financial interest, any action taken to determine
whether a conflict of interest was present, and the Board's decision as to
whether a conflict of interest in fact existed.
b) The names of the persons who were present for discussions and any votes
relating to the transaction or arrangement, the content of the discussions,
including any alternatives to the proposed transaction or arrangement, and a
record of any vote taken in connection with the proceedings.
Acknowledgement of Conflict of Interest Policy
Each director, principal officer, and member of a committee with Board delegated
powers shall be required to sign a statement which affirms that such person:
a) Has received a copy of the conflict of interest policy;
b) Has read and understands the policy;
c) Has agreed to comply with the policy; and
d) Understands that the Corporation/Organization is charitable, and in order
to maintain
its federal tax exemption, it must engage primarily in activities which
accomplish one or more of its tax-exempt purposes.
Violation of Loyalty - Self -Dealing Contracts
A self -dealing contract is any contract or transaction (i) between this Corporation/
Organization and one or more of its Directors, or between this Corporation/
Organization and any corporation, firm, or association in which one or more of the
Directors has a material financial interest ("Interested Director"), or (ii) between this
Corporation/Organization and a corporation, firm, or association of which one or
more of its directors are Directors of this Corporation/Organization. Said self -dealing
shall not be void or voidable because such Director(s) of corporation, firm, or
association are parties or because said Director(s) are present at the meeting of the
Board of Directors or committee which authorizes, approves or ratifies the self -
dealing contract, if:
a) All material facts are fully disclosed to or otherwise known by the members
of the Board and the self -dealing contract is approved by the Interested
Director in good faith (without including the vote of any membership owned
by said interested Director(s));
MBCS' BYLAWS (Revised Nov. 2024) Pagina 17 de 22
b) All material facts are fully disclosed to or otherwise known by the Board of
Directors or committee, and the Board of Directors or committee authorizes,
approves, or ratifies the self -dealing contract in good faith —without counting
the vote of the interest Director(s)— and the contract is just and reasonable as
to the Corporation/ Organization at the time it is authorized, approved, or
ratified; or
c) As to contracts not approved as provided in above sections (a) and/or (b),
the person asserting the validity of the self -dealing contract sustains the
burden of proving that the contract was just and reasonable as to the
Corporation/Organization at the time it was authorized, approved, or ratified.
Interested Director(s) may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a
meeting of the Board of Directors or a committee thereof, which authorizes,
approves, or ratifies a contract or transaction as provided for and contained in this
section.
Indemnification
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Corporation/Organization shall indemnify
its "agents," as described by law, including its directors, officers, employees and
volunteers, and including persons formerly occupying any such position, and their
heirs, executors and administrators, against all expenses, judgments, fines,
settlements, and other amounts actually and reasonably incurred by them in
connection with any "proceeding," and including any action by or in the right of the
Corporation/Organization, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a person as
described in the Non -Profit Corporation Act. Such right of indemnification shall not be
deemed exclusive of any other right to which such persons may be entitled apart
from this Article.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, and, except as otherwise determined by the
Board in a specific instance, expenses incurred by a person seeking indemnification
in defending any "proceeding" shall be advanced by the Corporation/Organization of
an undertaking by or
on behalf of that person to repay such amount unless it is ultimately determined that
the person is entitled to be indemnified by the Corporation/Organization for those
expenses.
The Corporation/Organization shall have the power to purchase and maintain
insurance on behalf of any agent of the Corporation/Organization, to the fullest
extent permitted by law, against any liability asserted against or incurred by the agent
MBCS' BYLAWS (Revised Nov. 2024) Pagina 18 de 22
in such capacity or arising out of the agent's status as such, or to give other
indemnification to the extent permitted by law.
ARTICLE 10 - EXECUTION OF CORPORATE INSTRUMENTS
Execution of Corporate Instruments
The Board of Directors may, at its discretion, determine the method and designate
the signatory officer or officers, or other person or persons, to execute any corporate
instrument or document, or to sign the corporate name without limitation, except
when otherwise provided by law, and such execution or signature shall be binding
upon the Corporation/ Organization.
Unless otherwise specifically determined by the Board of Directors or otherwise
required by law, formal contracts of the Corporation/Organization, promissory notes,
deeds of trust, mortgages, other evidences of indebtedness of the Corporation/
Organization, other corporate/organization instruments or documents, memberships
in other corporations/ organizations, and certificates of shares of stock owned by the
Corporation/Organization shall be executed, signed, and/or endorsed by the
President, Secretary.
All checks and drafts drawn on banks or other depositories on funds to the credit of
the Corporation/Organization, or in special accounts of the Corporation/
Organization, shall be signed by such person or persons as the Board of Directors
shall authorize to do so.
Loans and Contracts
No loans or advances shall be contracted on behalf of the Corporation/Organization
and no note or other evidence of indebtedness shall be issued in its name unless and
except as the specific transaction is authorized by the Board of Directors. Without the
express and specific authorization of the Board, no officer or other agent of the
Corporation/Organization may enter into any contract or execute and deliver any
instrument in the name of and on behalf of the Corporation/Organization.
ARTICLE 11 - RECORDS AND REPORTS
Maintenance and Inspection of Articles and Bylaws
The Corporation/Organization shall keep at its principal office the original or a copy
of its Articles of Incorporation and bylaws as amended to date, which shall be open to

office of the Corporation/Organization. The minutes shall be kept in written or typed
form, and other books and records shall be kept either in written or typed form or in
any form capable of being converted into written, typed, or printed form. Upon
leaving office, each officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation/Organization shall
turn over to his or her successor or the Chair of the Board or President, in good order,
such corporate/organization monies, books, records, minutes, lists, documents,
contracts or other property of the Corporation/ Organization as have been in the
custody of such officer, employee, or agent during his or her term of office.
Every director shall have the absolute right at any reasonable time to inspect all
books, records, and documents of every kind and the physical properties of the
Corporation/ Organization and each of its subsidiary corporations/organizations. The
inspection may be made in person or by an agent or attorney, and shall include the
right to copy and make extracts of documents.
Preparation of Annual Financial Statements
The Corporation/Organization shall prepare annual financial statements using
generally accepted accounting principles. Such statements shall be audited by an
independent certified public accountant, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting standards. The Corporation/Organization shall make these financial
statements available to the Florida Attorney General and members of the public for
inspection no later than 30 days after the close of the fiscal year to which the

Reports
MBCS' BYLAWS (Revised Nov. 2024) Pagina 20 de 22

The fiscal year for this Corporation/Organization shall end on December 31.
ARTICLE 13 - AMENDMENTS AND REVISIONS
These bylaws may be adopted, amended, or repealed by a two-thirds majority of the
directors then in office. Such action is authorized only at a duly called and held
meeting of the Board of Directors for which written notice of such meeting, setting
forth the proposed bylaw revisions with explanations therefore, is given in accordance
with these bylaws. If any provision of these bylaws requires the vote of a larger
portion of the Board than is otherwise required by law, that provision may not be
altered, amended or repealed by that greater vote.
ARTICLE 14 - CORPORATE/ORGANIZATION SEAL
The Board of Directors may adopt, use, and alter a corporate/organization seal. The

PROJECT HISTORY
How We Got Here
FEB 20, 1980
1980 — 2023
SEP 26, 2024
OCT — NOV 2024
Dade County transferred 850 & 920 NW 23 Street to the City of Miami for $1, with
the condition the property be used for sports facilities or related recreational uses.
For more than four decades, the property remained abandoned — a problem site
used for illegal dumping, drug activity, and occupation by homeless individuals.
The City of Miami Commission approved a resolution granting use to Miami Bethany
Community Services (MBCS) for the development of community -based programs.
More than 50 MBCS volunteers cleaned, cleared, painted, and secured the property
— removing multiple truckloads of debris and restoring safe conditions.
THE OBSTACLE
ONE CONDITION. ONE OPPORTUNITY.
A\ THE 1980 DEED CONDITION
The only remaining obstacle to formalizing the
use agreement is the condition in the 1980
Warrantee Deed — which requires the
property to be used for sports facilities or
related purposes.
TURNED INTO ADVANTAGE
Rather than a limitation, this requirement
creates an immediate opportunity to activate
the property through community sports
programming — aligning the deed directly
with the community's needs.
