'11RI SWRA INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM
To: The Honorable Chairman & Members of the SMCRA Board
From: Evan Fancher, Executive Director
DATE: February 03, 2020
SUBJECT: A resolution of the City of South Miami Community Redevelopment
Agency (SMCRA) approving the proposed Restated Interlocal Cooperation
Agreement related to the exercise of community redevelopment powers
within the SMCRA Redevelopment Area; authorizing the Chairperson and
the Executive Director of the SMCRA to execute the such agreement;
recommending that the City Commission of the City of South Miami and
the Miami -Dade County Board of County Commissioners approve the
Restated Interlocal Cooperation Agreement; and authorizing the SMCRA
Executive Director to take any and all necessary and appropriate action to
achieve the purposes of this resolution.
BACKGROUND: Following the directive to complete the negotiations between the City,
County, and South Miami Community Redevelopment Agency, the
following terms have been agreed to pending any further changes by the
County:
• 50%TIF from the County and City into the SMCRA for 10 years.
• A 25% rebate to the City on the full City Contribution (this takes the
City contribution down to a net 25%TIF from the City).
• A 25% rebate only on the expansion area paid to the County.
Essentially, for every $2 the City contributes to the CRA, the County
will Contribute $3. The County will contribute 60% of the CRAs
revenues to spend exclusively within the City of South Miami.
• A 10% administrative cap with no ability to spend money on any
social programs and an exclusive focus achieving the priority
projects the SMCRA Board approved in December 2019.
• No debt can be issued at all.
The final official numbers are being completed by the City's Chief Financial
Officer and will be available at the meeting.
The projects would complete the following objectives:
o Invest in the downtown tax -base
o Dispose of all SMCRA properties
o Build affordable and mixed -income housing
o Construct a new park preserving the trees at the Mango Lots 2
o Activate the small, non -conforming lots
CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
OFFICE OF THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM
The County still reserves the right to make edits and finalize these terms.
We are moving forward now due to the length of process that the County
has to go through in order to get this finished before June 1. If there are
any substantive changes to the agreement, they will be brought back to
the SMCRA and City Commission. Meanwhile, I recommend that the
SMCRA approves this agreement, pending any changes from the County.
