ATTACHMENTS: Resolution Grant Request 2 5850 Commerce Lane South Miami, FL 33143 786.387.4512 jefffittmiami@gmail.com Letter of Intent and request for the City of South Miami Community Redevelopment Agency Small Business Funding Assistance. February 14, 2019 To the City of South Miami Community Redevelopment Agency I would like to upgrade the exercise equipment in my new business, located at 5850 Commerce Lane, South Miami, Florida, 33143. I have been renting the building for 13 months with minimal equipment to start. The exercise and wellness facility is located within and immediately adjacent to historic African - American community of South Miami, the Senior Citizens Housing Center, and the South Miami Children's Clinic, all residents who are disproportionately affected by conditions that diminish their health status. The enhanced equipment will improve access to life -changing opportunities for exercise training and education. As a life-long resident, African -American health educator, businessman, and entrepreneur, I have a unique ability to connect to the at -risk population. A special population refers to particular groups of people with special fitness and exercise needs and typically requires a greater level of supervision. This group includes those with diseases like heart disease, diabetes and other prevalent diseases and extends to those with injuries and specific situations like pregnancy, postpartum, seniors, etc. I am requesting a Small Business Funding Assistance Grant of $5,000 to help with the purchase of additional quality equipment for a special population of adult customers/clientele. The exercise equipment I need to purchase will enhance the safety of this population with machines such as an upright recumbent exercise bike with Heart -rate monitoring, weight resistance machines with low starting weights and small incremental increases, appropriate seat - pad height to make it easy for exercisers to get on and off equipment, covered weight stacks for safety and a good ergonomic design to put less stress on joints. Having the equipment will give my business the opportunity for growth and the ability to meet a growing demand of this population. As a result, the growth and transition may allow me to provide 1-2 part time jobs in an effort to serve this population.

ATTEST: /� By: �lh----('- , ATTEST: ByA 6�, Pit,, R 7 R y Jeffery SOUTH MIAMI COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY By: SMCRA Executive Director 5850 Commerce Lane South Miami, FL 33143 786.387.4512 jefffittmiami@gmail.com Letter of Intent and request for the City of South Miami Community Redevelopment Agency Small Business Funding Assistance. February 14, 2019 To the City of South Miami Community Redevelopment Agency I would like to upgrade the exercise equipment in my new business, located at 5850 Commerce Lane, South Miami, Florida, 33143. I have been renting the building for 13 months with minimal equipment to start. The exercise and welhiess facility is located within and immediately adjacent to historic African - American community of South Miami, the Senior Citizens Housing Center, and the South Miami Children's Clinic, all residents who are disproportionately affected by conditions that diminish their health status. The enhanced equipment will improve access to life -changing opportunities for exercise training and education. As a life-long resident, African -American health educator, businessman, and entrepreneur, I have a unique ability to connect to the at -risk population. A special population refers to particular groups of people with special fitness and exercise needs and typically requires a greater level of supervision. This group includes those with diseases like heart disease, diabetes and other prevalent diseases and extends to those with injuries and specific situations like pregnancy, postpartum, seniors, etc. I am requesting a Small Business Funding Assistance Grant of S5,000 to help with the purchase of additional quality equipment for a special population of adult customers/clientele. The exercise equipment I need to purchase will enhance the safety of this population with machines such as an upright recumbent exercise bike with Heart -rate monitoring, weight resistance machines with low starting weights and small incremental increases, appropriate seat - pad height to make it easy for exercisers to get on and off equipment, covered weight stacks for safety and a good ergonomic design to put less stress onjoints. Having the equipment will give my business the opportunity for growth and the ability to meet a growing demand of this population. As a result, the growth and transition may allow me to provide 1-2 part time jobs in an effort to serve this population. t SOUTH MIAMI COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY START-UP BUSINESS GRANT FUNDING AGREEMENT THIS START-UP BUSINESS GRANT FUNDING AGREEMENT is entered into this Ivy, day of June 2019 between the South Miami Community Redevelopment Agency (Agency) and Frank Crawford, Business Owner of ROD'S UNISEX BARBER SHOP LLC, a registered corporation with its current business establishment located at 5825 SW 68th Street, Suite 100, South Miami FI 33143.
