Background of Item: The attached Resolution of the Board of the Commissioners of the City of Miami authorizes the Executive Director of the Omni CRA to enter into a loan agreement with Bank United for the provision of Twenty Five Million Dollars ($25,000,000.00) of funding to OMNI CRA for Omni CRA projects. It authorizes the Executive Director to execute a loan agreement for additional funding for the Omni CRA's various projects as approved by the Board. Based on previous discussions and Resolutions that were passed by the Board, the CRA has prioritized the need for affordable housing along with other long term CRA goals of affordable and workforce housing, real property acquisition and capital improvements within the area. Through Resolution No. CRA -R-16-0040, the Board has prioritized the need for affordable housing. The 2009 Omni Redevelopment Plan ("Plan") on p. 123 also shows this initiative by highlighting the need for affordable and workforce housing. Through Resolution No. CRA -R-17-0020, the CRA authorized the purchase of an historic building located at 1367 North Miami Avenue, Miami, Florida, 33136. There are capital costs that will need to be expended in relation to the purchase and rehabilitation of the building that is strategically located at the major intersection of N.E. 14th Street and North Miami Avenue in the Redevelopment Area. The Plan on p. 42 C-4, "Encourage[s] preservation and restoration of historic buildings" as a goal of the CRA. Additionally, on p. 100, the Plan also highlights the CRA's focus on the rehabilitation of this building. Section 163.370 of the Florida Statutes gives the CRA authority to "make real property acquisitions" to further the initiative of the CRA.
