South Miami eRA Budget FY 2018-2019 3
Budget Message
FS 163.335 is clear about our mission, "community redevelopment in such
areas, when complete, will enhance such tax base and provide increased tax
revenues to all affected taxing authorities, increasing their ability to
accomplish their other respective purposes."
In Fiscal Year 2018/2019, the South Miami Community Redevelopment
Agency (SMCRA) will finally break ground on Madison Square which will
construct forty affordable housing units and re-create the commercial core
for the Marshall Williamson community. The budget will increase by seven
percent due to increased property values in the City of South Miami.
Now that Madison Square has been approved, we will direct all the resources of the Agency on
infrastructure improvements, affordable housing, and economic development. This budget will
narrow the Agency's focus and give us a fresh start.
This year, we will take in .$1.57 million in revenue. Our overall budget is $3.44 million once we
factor in additional revenue and savings from prior years. We used a zero-base budget approach
to transform the budget into a transparent document that will serve as a roadmap to
revita lization.
The path to revitalization requires us to re-focus the efforts of the Agency on affordable
housing,infrastructure, and economic development.
Affordable Housing
In prior years, Madison Square has been synonymous with affordable housing in South Miami.
We will break ground in November with a 100% affordable housing project that will anchor the
commercial core of the Marshall Williamson community. While the project is being privately
financed, we have a federal obligation to relocate the two residential tenants that currently
reside in SMCRA housing.
In FY 2018/2019, we plan to move through the long process of removing a plat restriction that
stands in the way of completing the long-expected townhouses at the Mango lots. We own the
land; the need exists; the timing is right. We are currently in conversation with City zoning staff
to create a townhouse zoning district that balances density while respecting the single-family
neighborhood it abuts. This will add more than ten additional housing units to the area.
South Miami Gardens is a public housing complex owned by the County that sits at the entrance
to the Marshall Williamson community. While Madison Square will be the symbol of our
commitment to affordable housing, South Miami Gardens can produce new affordable housing
So ut h M iam i e RA Budget FY 2018-2 019 4
units, preserve public housing, and introduce additional income strata to the Redevelopment
Area. This is government-owned land that need s to be at the core of our housing strategy.
The Redevelopment Area has various sites that we are looking to assemble. It has become too
costly for the Agency to focus on single-family affordable housing development. The best use of
the land acquisition funds will be property assemblage for multi-family affordable housing. We
are prepared to participate in single or multi-family construction if the right opportunity presents
itself.
Beyond those specific areas, the Agency has also worked with our City Manager and Planning
Director to develop a scope of work for a housing study. We will identify our existing housing
needs and develop a plan for future housing efforts.
In prior years, we have not fully focused on the need to preserve the existing affordable housing
stock. The Agency's most successful program is the Single-family Home Rehabilitation Program.
This year we are proposing to triple the investment in the program. Affordable housing is not just
about new projects, but it is also about keeping people in their homes, making it convenient for
them to age in place, and incentivizing continued community ownership .
Infrastructure Improvements
Our goal is to bring infrastructure improvements back to the forefront. We have included funding
to construct more sidewalks, rehabilitate our brick pavers, and solve drainage issues.
For FY 18/19, we are increasing our spending to achieve these infrastructure improvements. In
addition, the SMCRA plan seeks to develop a pedestrian bridge; however, we must conduct the
appropriate studies to determine the best course of action to move pedestrians safe ly across
USl.
Economic Development
We will develop a clear economic development strategy that focuses on building community
owned businesses and fueling their growth. At present, the SMCRA has five economic
development programs. For FY 18/19, we plan to consolidate all economic development
programs into one and develop a competitive process that is clear about the grant qualifications .
In addition to the five economic development programs, we have eliminated four additional
programs that do not conform to the intent of CRAs. The City of South Miami and Miami-Dade
County will absorb all the social service programs that are presently funded by the SMCRA so that
no services will be cut. The programs are afterschool care scholarships, summer school
scholarships, and elderly care services at the senior center. Florida Statutes explicitly convey
powers to CRAs i n the areas of affordable hou sing, capital improvements, economic development
and community policing, not social services.
So uth Miami eRA Bud get FY 2018 -2019 5
Governance
The SMCRA continues to improve its professionalism and relationship with the City. Next year,
we will aim to extend the life of the Agency. While the extension is important, this will be a great
opportunity to work with professionals and community members to determine the vision for the
Marshall Williamson Community and the future of almost half of the City.
While the budget will show tremendous changes in focal areas previously mentioned, the SMCRA
is seeking to get back to the spirit of Florida Statute 163 which identifies CRAs as dedicated to
capital improvements, affordable housing, and business development, while attracting private
capital.
The SMCRA is maturing and the level of professionalism from staff continues to improve. We are
on our way to operating at full capacity. This budget is our best, next step . It is our roadmap to
attracting private investment.
The SMCRA would like to recognize City Manager Steven Alexander and various members of the
City staff for their assistance in the preparation of this document:
• Shari Kamali, Alfredo Riverol, Maria Virguez, Michelle Caloca, and Yvette Valdes
Thank you,

The general makeup of the SMCRA staff is not expected to change t his year. Staffing levels are
where they shou ld be at this time. We have moved towa r ds shrinking the roles and
responsibilities of the Agency staff, so as to increase effectiveness. The below figures represent
a 2.8% COLA that all City staff will receive .
From an operational standpoint, SMCRA staff has shifted its focus from solving social issues to
executing our capital improvements focus. We are still here to help on social issues; however, we
have moved towards referring individual cases to entities with a specific expertise.
Furthermore, staff is evaluat i ng each program for effectiveness. There is a plethora of
institutional knowl edge on the SMCRA staff; now, the time has come to evaluate our
performance and work towards delivering a higher quality product to the residents of the
Community Redevelopment Area.
FY 2018/2019 Goa l
Our goal is to promote community revitalization while achieving a new level of professionalism .

Economic Development
Traditionally, the SMCRA has not had a robust economic development strategy. As the prior
year's numbers show, the programs have been underutilized and the board has not voted on a
criterion by which to judge grant applicants. Furthermore, SMCRA resident owned businesses
would be better served by a competitive process that allows them to get more than the current
cap of $2,500 and is based on a straightforward solicitation with evaluat ion criteria. For FY 18/19,
we plan to pur sue this kind of competitive grantmaking process and direct all econom ic
deve lopment fund s towards this effort.
FY 2018/2019 Goal
Our goal is to develop a competitive grantmaking process that forces SMCRA businesses to
compete for economic development mon·ey in a fair, open process that has clear expectations.

improvements that can potentially host a community owned and operated business .

Our goal is to paint two hou ses per month and vigorously pur sue preservation of the naturally

like to do two direct mailers to residents and businesses that inform residents and businesses
of th e se rvices provid e d by the Agency while promoting our locally operated businesses ($5,000
each).
3120 Special Events -This year, all special events will flow directly through community partners
and must pass a simple test: does the event highlight the area and bring in visitors, does the
event educate residents, are you willing to open the books for the organization for inspection?
For FY 18/19, we will have an event to commemorate the beginning of the Madison Square
project. The event budget was prepared in consultation with the City's Special Events
Coordinator. $3,000 has been allocated to deliver this event.
9931 Summer and Afterschool Scholarships-City staff has agreed that the SMCRA is not the
proper funding mechanism to fund scholarships. We do not want the services to be cut so the
City staff has graciously agreed to budget for the ex pense.
