There being no further discussion or comments, the CRA General Counsel's-Report was closed. Member McCrea requested that the Public Comments section be moved up from the back of the Agenda, in case there is anyone who wants to comment on the appointment of the Director, which is an important decision on tonight's meeting. Chair Feliu indicated that the change for Public Comments in the order of the Agenda subjects has been discussed previously and that he agrees that Public. Comments should be in the front,of the Agenda. Mr. Gallop indicated that the-change can be done since there are no established provisions as to the Agenda format. Mayor Feliu then, with the consensus of the entire Board, directed, to have the Public Comments section of the meeting placed before the Consent Agenda section. Mr. Gallop indicated that since this change is not required by resolution or ordinance, the Mayor may direct the City Clerk to make the change as established by the Board. CONSENT AGENDA (There.are no items) PUBLIC COMMENTS Mr. Craig Sherar referred to the item relating to appointment of the 'SMCRA Director. He said that the qualifications requirements under the Job Description as "Planner, or its equivalent" is vague and it should have been more specific. As you all know, Mr. Sherar added, I'm a vocal or advocate against the CRA, and you need someone who is capable of COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY 2 P MINUTES - December 8, 2003 w 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19' 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 planning with vision for that area, specifically referring to the traffic problems around the CRA area. He said that all applicants for this position should be asked to write a,two -page statement about what their plans are for the CRA. With reference to the Mobley Building, he said that it does not seem right that the City gets $12,000 in rent on a $400,000 property. There being to further comments or discussion, the public comments were closed. RESOLUTION(S) CRA 14 -03 -126 7. A RESOLUTION OF THE SOUTH MIAMI COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY (SMCRA) APPOINTING A DIRECTOR`: RESPONSIBLE FOR THE ADMINISTRATION, DEVELOPMENT, PLANNING AND COORDINATION OF ALL SMCRA PROJECTS AND PROGRAMS; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE Moved by Vice Chair Russell, seconded by Member Wiscombe to approve this item. Ms. Navarro explained that upon a preliminary review of the nine - submitted applications for the position of SMCRA director, four were selected for an interview. A panel interview was formed, several questions were given and the Board decided to go ahead and set 'up a rating of first and second choice,. and the individual receiving. the'. highest vote would be appointed as the director. The individual receiving the most votes (5 votes) on the first-choice was Joseph Gibson; and Sandra Raymond, who received two votes. 'Chair Feliu moved to appoint Joseph M. Gibson as SMCRA Director' and Members Kelly and Bethel seconded it. Member McCrea asked for discussion on the motion. He said not'to'1 understand how Mr. Gibson is qualified for this position. He asked the Board to help him understand the basis for this appointment,':'';;' because there were other candidates who better met the qualifications`.' >`' which were set out by this Board, therefore, he did not understand why', Mr. Gibson received five votes. Member Bethel said that Mr. Gibson was on the Board when the CRA •. originally started. He was in several meetings at St. John Church,.., about the CRA. Many Saturdays, Mr. Gibson met with our group, and has j been in this community for over twenty -seven years and knows practically everybody in this community, Member Bethel continued. He was involved in' the CRA and you may.not know it, referring to Member McCrea, but Mr. Gibson is not a person, who brags about what he..,has'.: done for this community, Member Bethel added. Therefore, he knows about the CRA. He was down at the County during the time when-we were ., COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY 3 MINUTES - December 8, 2003 trying to get the votes. And for all these reasons I voted for Joseph Gibson, Member Bethel concluded. Member McCrea said that he does not understand how Member':,, Bethel's reasons referred above would relate to "Knowledge, Skills and; Abilities Required to Perform Job" as per the Job Description. For. instance, knowledge in housing and commercial revitalization, ;., redevelopment, neighborhood and community services, knowledge of grant.'' funding, all of which are important qualities for the SMCRA director to have to get the job done. Member Kelly said that neither of the candidates had everything that the Board was looking for. Subsequently, he said he voted based' on the interview process and the applicant's knowledge of the..., community. Mr. Gibson did a great job in answering the questions-and his experience level seems to be compatible to the job skill task.' Member Kelly added that many times people are deceived by what -they' ,.' see on paper, and he mentioned Ms. Davis as an example, whom he said in some, respect did not meet the level of requirements set by this Board, however, we did get a great City Manager. He said to Member McCrea, that with all the respect to his opinion, that there was a'lot:. of weight and a lot of thought given to this process. Chair Feliu said that Mr. Gibson had worked at the airport with the County and knows a lot of people in the County government, and ins essence they will be the ones determining whether or not we 'have.' longevity in the CRA. Besides, Chair Feliu continued, in reference to the candidate's mission statement and ideas as suggested earlier,by r,.', Mr. Sherar, Mr. Gibson submitted a synopsis to the Board,, demonstrating his vision towards the CRA area. Mr. Gibson has I a master's degree and he is an educator, and I believe that he -brings the type of integrity that people within the CRA will respect. Vice Chair Russell said that regardless of who was selected, that. we need a formal review process for accountability purposes. She said, that a formal review process is needed for the city manager, city attorney and city clerk, and added that they need to look at a three. or six month review to make sure that the plan criteria is being met' and let's give Mr. Gibson a fair chance to work for a community where he has dedicated a great deal of time, she added. Vice Chair Russell . 1. urged staff, specifically Human Resources, to establish a formal; review- process of criteria, standards, expectations, etc. She then said that one of the questions she asked to every candidate during the interview was, whether they foresee the CRA as finite. She said that she was pleased with Mr. Gibson's answer, that he did not see it going: i on indefinitely, and that it did not need to be a thirty -year plan and'':' ; that the mission could be accomplished in five to ten years. He was one of the only two people who answered that way and that is important',:.: :: to me, Vice Chair Russell added. Member Wiscombe concurred with Vice Chair Russell with the importance.of having a formal review process in place. COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY 4 MINUTES - December 8, 2003 I Ms. Navarro indicated that currently for. department heads and 2 across the board there is a six -month provisionary review, and a very 3 thorough evaluation form and that she will be providing the Board 4 copies for their review. She explained that she sends out a report. 5 that gets generated for a review after six months. When the review is'' 6 back, meeting the criteria set forth, the employee is placed on. 7 permanent .status after a year from the day of hire,, and that is done 8 across the board. 9 10 Chair Feliu, with the consensus of the Board, said to be in'.. 11 accordance with the review process which Ms. Navarro said to have::",.,. , 12 already in place. 13 14 Member McCrea said that the other candidate who received two ! 15 first place votes, also received four second place votes, therefore'dt:..": 16 clearly impressed the Board at the interviews, and that is. Sandra';_ 17 Raymond who works currently for OCED and has considerable experience' 18 including a Masters in Public Administration and a Bachelor in-, 19 Business Administration, adding that he finds Ms. Raymond better ; i 20 qualified, both in paper and from the interview. He said that going 21 forward with this appointment is doing a disservice to the CRA and,it;!; 22 is a mistake. ! 23 24 Member Kelly said that this is an individual who will be'able to 25 deal with the existing community problems in -the CRA which need td�be 26 addressed. 27 28 Chair Feliu said that there is also a silent majority in the CRA..,' 29 community, who could not be at this meeting, but that ,he knows they`'. 30 support Mr. Gibson. He lives in the community, knows the people in I 31 the area and their concerns and that is. very important, Chair Feliu`:',;, 32 added. He reiterated that he was very impressed with his mission 33 statement, he wants to see*an improvement, and.that is what the CRA is 34 all about. 35 36 Member Birts - Cooper said that Mr. Gibson has the goodwill that 37 the CRA needs. 38 39 Vice Chair Russell said that whether or not the Board agrees it 40 is important to come together on -this decision, this is a democracy, 41 and whatever happens from tonight forward the Board needs to give Mr..,. 42 Gibson its ,full support, then we will go through the formal review 43 process as our level of protection and accountability, and we need to 44 work together from this point forward, Vice chair-Russell concluded. 45 46 Member McCrea said that he concurs with'Vice Chair Russell, and 47 that he will support the candidate that the Board will vote on. 48 49 There being ,no further discussion or comments, Chair Feliu then,.' 50 called the question amending Section 1 of the Resolution, inserti.ng':,; f 51 the name of Joseph Gibson, as the appointed Director of the SMCRA. 52 53 COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY 5' MINUTES - December B, 2003 1 Motion to approve this item as amended passed by a 6 -1 vote. 2 3 Member Wiscombe: Yea 4 Member Kelly: Yea 5 Member McCrea: Nay 6 Member Birts - Cooper: Yea 7 Member Bethel: Yea 8 Chairperson Feliu: Yea 9 Vice Chair Russell: Yea 10 11 12 13 CRA 15 -03 -127 14 8. A RESOLUTION OF THE SOUTH MIAMI COMMUNITY 15 REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY (SMCRA) AUTHORIZING THE 16 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO DISBURSE $9,603.97 FROM ITS 17 ACCOUNT #610- 1110- 554 -99 -20 PAYABLE TO THE MIAMI - 18 DADE TAX' COLLECTOR TO PAY 2003 AD VALOREM TAXES, 19 LEVIED. ON THE MOBELY PROPERTY AT 5825 SW 68T11 . 20 STREET; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. 21 22 Moved by Vice Chair Russell, seconded by Members-Wiscombe & Kelly 23 to-approve this item. 24 25 Vice Chair Russell asked staff what are the plans for the Mobley.', 26 property, and whether we are going to continue to earn $12,000 a year',',: 27 while paying out $10,000. 28 29. Ms. Davis said that she was waiting to see what the Credit Union. 30 was going to do. She said that we would not be considered tax exempt 31 if the Credit. Union came in, and that she did not know what kind of 32 rent the City will be collecting. She said that she is. waiting: to`,'. 33 make a recommendation to this Board until she hears from the Credit 34 Union. 35 36 Vice Chair Russell said that, in the' meantime, an appropriate 37 rent would be around .$48,000. a year for that space, otherwise the 38 City will be giving away $35,000 a year. If we are going to pay taxes 39 we need to raise the rent with something that is comparable with 40 market value, she added. 41 42 Chair Feliu said that they need to find out what is the average 43 rental value per square foot in that area in order to establish a more:.,•.;;., 44 realistic rent charge. 45 46 Mr. McCants said that the Credit Union is opening a branch in 47 Atlanta and that is the reason for them not to be here tonight to make' 48 a presentation. 49 COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY 6 MINUTES - December 8, 2003 1 Member Bethel said that before the rent can be raised, the 2 building needs a lot of improvement, such as installation of air 3 conditioning. 4 5 Chair Feliu said that he welcomes local contractors who may want.,; 6 to help with the improvements, so that the rent potential can be 7 maximized. 8 9 Vice Chair Russell said that the other alternative would be to 10 take the property off the tax roll and make it a City property, where: 11 the CRA may use it, or the City may use it for storage. 12 13 There being no further comments, the motion to approve this item 14 passed by.a 7 -0 vote. 15 16 Member Wiscombe: Yea 17 Member Kelly: Yea 18 Member McCrea: Yea 19 Member Birts- Cooper: Yea 20 Member Bethel: Yea 21 Chairperson Feliu: Yea 22 Vice Chair Russell: Yea 23 i 24 PUBLIC COMMENTS 25 (Continued) 26 27 Chair Feliu opened again for Public Comments for those who 28 were not aware that the Public Comments had been moved to the 29 front of the Agenda, so that they could come forward and speak. 30 31 Ms. Theresa Sawyer, referred to the City property next to 32 her house saying that she is still interested in purchasing the 33 property and is waiting for an answer from the Board. She said 34 that it has been her intention to purchase that property even 35 before the City bought it. She said to have proof of her inquiry 36 to the City from the year 2000 about the property ownership. 37 38 Ms. Davis said that Ms. Sawyer had been before the CRA 39 Advisory Board discussing her issues and expressing her desire to 40 purchase the property and it was the,consensus of that Board that 41 she has been taken care of the property, and the Board felt very. 42 strongly that the CRA Board should allow her to purchase the 43 property. 44 45 Chair Feliu asked whether there were some outstanding legal 46 issues on this property. Mr. Gallop said that there was no quorum 47 at the•CRA Advisory meeting to establish an official position of 48 the body. He added that he is not aware of any legal issues. 49 Ms. Davis said that the reason no recommendation was sent to the 50. CRA Board is because they had no quorum at the time, but that the 51 members who were present at the Advisory Board were very much in 52 support of Ms. Sawyer purchasing the property. Chair Feliu said COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY 7 MINUTES - December 8, 2003 1 that he believed that the parcel was so small that in order to 2 build a house a variance would be required. Ms. Davis explained 3 that even though the parcel. is small it would not require a 4 variance. Furthermore, Ms. Davis added, Ms. Sawyer has been 5 maintaining the property for years. Chair Feliu said that he 6 does not have a problem with this, provided that the deed 7 restrictions discussed at earlier meetings would be in place, to 8 prevent anyone from reselling for profit later on. He also said 9• that they also need to know what the fair market value of that 10 property is. Member McCrea concurred with Chair Feliu, and that 11 he would not even go'as far as to limit the. property rights. 12 Members Kelly and Wiscombe concurred with Member McCrea. 13 14 With the consensus of the Board, Chair Feliu directed staff 15 to research the fair market value of the property and allow Ms. 16 Sawyer the opportunity to purchase it. 17 18 Mr. Adrian Ellis referred to the Board's appointment of Mr.: 19 Gibson, saying that ' he is a leader in the CRA area and that ' it 20 goes a long way to have someone from the area who understands the 21 issues and the problems of this community and said it was a great 22 decision by the Board. He then referred to the six months review 23 suggested that it would be better to have a six month contract 24 which could be renewed in six months, and then the contract could 25 be renewed for another six months, one year or two years, to 26 better assess whether he is meeting the Board's expectations. 27 With reference to the Mobley building, he said that while Subrata 28 Basu was the Director, there had been discussions about moving 29 the CRA office there, and also moving some of the recreation 30 offices into that building. He urged the Board to evaluate the 31 decision of whether is better to take the property off the tax 32 .roll or to raise the rent. Finally, he referred to the South 33 Miami Gardens meeting. He said that the Board needs to go back 34 and review the original plan for that area and do some type of 35 cost estimate regarding displacement. He said that people are 36 terribly concerned with displacement and urged the Board to get 37 something in writing with the help of the attorney, explaining 38 the displacement cost, and that the CRA will not be held liable 39 for the cost. Chair Feliu said that this issue had been 40 discussed before by this Board and that the idea is to build some 41 housing right there, on the vacant parcel across the street from 42 the "Hot Cookie" place, so that the displacement takes place on a 43 step by step basis, adding that this is one of the reasons why he 44 is so pleased to have a director who will take care of all of 45 these details. Member Bethel said that several workshops were 46 conducted at the Senior Citizens building to discuss this issue. 47 A survey was sent out asking those who want'to become homeowners 48 to sign their names,' and we put credit counselors in contact with 49 these people. The plan is not to knock down all the houses at 50 the same time. It would be done in sections. We promised that 51 everybody that signed that they would be able to . come back as a 52 homeowner, and even though not everybody would become a COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY 8 MINUTES - December 8, 2003 I homeowner, every house would look the same, regardless of whether 2 they were owners or whether they would be renting. 3 4 Mr. McCants said that seven different sites were identified 5 in the CRA area to offset the displacement factor and to keep the 6 residents in the area, and he said the study is in his office for 7 anyone interested in reviewing it. 8 9 Member McCrea said that the South Miami Gardens site which 10 is approximately 7.2 acres, from a construction finance 11 feasibility point of view, it is certainly feasible to do that in 12 stages. 13 14 Chair Feliu reiterated that the intent of the project is not 15 to displace anyone. The intent is to provide everyone with' 16 affordable housing, so that they have home ownership, which the 17 American dream is all about, that is what I envision for the CRA 18 and that is what Mr. Gibson expressed is his vision for South 19 Miami, Chair Feliu added. 20 21 Mr. Oscar Rivera, attorney and developer of affordable. 22 housing,.said his plan is to build affordable multifamily housing 23 on that site, and part of the plan is to alleviate the 24 displacement factor by moving families in, phases. He then said 25 that as soon as the zoning ordinances which have been discussed 26 and are floating around are in place, the project can start to 27 get rolling and we could be breaking ground within three to four 28 months, since planning and financing are already in the works. 29 30 Ms. Valerie Newman referred to the meeting. that took place 31 at Murray Park recently, claiming that the meeting was not 32 properly noticed. Ms. Davis clarified that the meeting was 33 properly noticed on the bulletin .boards at City Hall. She then 34 said that in the future she will appreciate having those meetings 35 here at City Hall, on neutral ground. She said to have been 36 upset by comments made by Commissioner Bethel and certain' 37 employees of the City saying that outsiders had no business 38, speaking at this meeting. She said that she is not an outsider, 39 that she is a taxpayer of this City, and that she felt that she 40 was being denied her First Amendment rights. Ms. Newman then 41 said that the City needs to make sure that affordable housing is 42 indeed affordable. She said that there was $75,000. allotted for 43 rehab at Lee Park and that she does not understand why these 44 people are now being assessed in excess of $200. for maintenance 45 fees. She urged the Board to look into the matter as to why. 46 these people at Lee Park are loosing their apartments on account 47 of the maintenance fee, and added that some of these fees are 48 higher than their mortgage. Ms. Newman said that for reasons of 49 this nature, the South Miami Gardens residents need some sort of 50 representation. She said that we used to have in our Charter 51 four public defenders available to people, which were taken out 52 of our Charter in the year 2000. 53 COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY 9 MINUTES - December 8, 2003 . 1 Mr. Gallop said that for the Miami Beach Housing Authority 2 they sometimes engaged with the Legal Services of the City of 3 Miami, which might be an avenue to explore. 4 5 Member Kelly said that a group of attorneys from a law 6 school came to offer their services for this exact type of 7 service. Ms. Newman said that upon checking with the University 8 of Miami she found out that the students are not allowed to. do 9 this since they would be practicing law without a license. Chair 10 Feliu said that there must be some government agency that could 11 help these residents because they do have a problem, and he said 12 to agree with Ms. Newman on this issue. She then said that the 13 Lee Park issue needs to be addressed before the South Miami 14 Gardens residents regain confidence in the project. 15 16 There being no further comments, the public comments were 17 closed. 18 19 BOARD COMMENTS 20 21 Member Kelly referred to Ms. Newman's comments saying that 22 she is absolutely correct and that she has every right to attend 23 a public meeting in any part of the City. However, all the 24 meetings cannot be held at City Hall, since all the people in the 25 community need to be reached to discuss things. He announced 26 that on December 18, 2003, the Alliance for Youth in conjunction 27 with the Parks and Recreation Department are holding a Christmas 28 Festival that will start at 6:30 p.m. at Murray Park with lots of 29 entertainment. 30 31 Member Bethel said that in spite of all the criticism the 32 CRA receives, the CRA has done great things for the City of South 33 Miami. I have been in South Miami for a long time, have taught 34 in school for thirty -seven years and know the conditions, and can' 35 say that this community has. improved a great deal. On SW 63rd 36 Street where crack houses used to be, Habitat for Humanity came 37 in and built some nice homes. He mentioned the Valencia 38 Apartments which will be finished soon; he said we have a nice 39 hotel which many people do not know that we have; the Gibson 40 Center, every Tuesday and Thursday evening helping everyone with 41 aids in this community. Member Bethel went on to mention many 42 good things happening in the community. He said that he is going 43 out in February with a smile because he knows that great things 44 have happed in South Miami. 45 46 Chair Feliu said that it is easy to criticize an entity that 47 was not in existence before, but the CRA has done more than what 48 anyone will see on paper. The fact that there is a Board in 49 place, concerned about an area which has been neglected for over 50 fifty years in so many aspects; the CRA has provided many',; 51 improvement grants that cannot be seen from the outside; the CRA COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY 10 MINUTES - December 8, 2003 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 has helped people who are on a fixed income and are unable to have the roof repaired.

Morales Board of County Commissioners 111 NW First Street Suite 220 Miami, Florida 33128 -1963 Dear Commissioner Morales: My name is Joseph Gibson, 'and I would Iike to introduce myself as the newly appointed Director of the South Miami Community Redevelopment Agency ( SMCRA). After speaking with you on a few prior occasions, I was left with a highly favorable impression of your dedication to public service. We recently met with your aide Mr. Will Johnson, and, he provided uswith the appropriate approach for addressing bur immediate concerns. The consensus here at SMCRA is the necessity of rectifying the Tax Increment Financing (TiF) split between Miami -Dade County Government. In a very straightforward sense, there exist a glaring discrepancy, between what SMCRA receives from the T1F, in comparison with what other CRA'S in the county are receiving. (See enclosure) In addition, over the past five years, there has been a serious shortfall in SMRCA's budget, because the expected revenues from The Shops at Sunset Place have never materialized. The Shops of Sunset invariably is the engine which was expected to drive our process. Commissioner Morales, I cannot understate the degree of urgency that should be applied to this issue. As you are quite aware, properties within the SMCRA are highly sought after by,developers throughout the' South Florida community. It is imperative that SMCRA positions itself to have the capacity to acquire prime properties within its area to facilitate potential future developments. We thank you in advance for any considerations given in this matter.' I can be reached at (3 05) 668 -7238 for the purpose of arranging a'meeting. We look forward to maintaining what is recognized to be a fruitful and mutually beneficial relationship. Cordially, /Joseph C' son Director SMCRA cc: blk.

As mentioned in. our. conversation, I am particularly concerned about the Inter - Local Agreement section which relates to our Tax Increment Financing arrangement with the county. In fact, this specific aspect of the Inter -Local Agreement has been a concern of ours since our inception in 1998.The current 50150 split between Miami Dade- County has produced an acute shortage in the projected revenues which were anticipated in our original SMCRA plans. This disappointment, coupled with the fact that the expected revenues from. our `engine, The Shop At Sunset Place, has negatively impacted upon our ability to maintain and create new projects. Additionally, it is quite. obvious that SMCRA is receiving a much smaller share of the TIF than any other CRA which is operating in Miami -Dade County. Commissioner Moss, I must emphasize to you that this is an urgent matter, which should be addressed expeditiously. I'm positive that you are quite aware that the S. Miami Real Estate market is presently growing by leaps and bounds. In order to enhance the successful redevelopment of our area, it is imperative that we have the ability, to timely purchase choice properties enabling us to' achieve site control for projected projects. Your response in this most important matter will be greatly appreciated., I can be reached at (305) 668 -7238 for the purpose of arranging a meeting. I trust that you will continue your impeccable service to the South Dade Community, and that you maintain your keen interest in the developments here in S. Miami.

Itwas indeed an eye opening experience to observe the high level of your single - family home development. Your situation is probably unique to all of Dade County because of the vast areas of available land for development. Here in. South Miami, our circumstances are greatly impacted by the scarcity of available land. At SMCRA, one of our main priorities will be for the creation of sustainable economic development within an area which has been traditionally' underserved..We plan to accomplish this task through the completion of the `Madison Square' concept that we spoke about. Our strategy for'completion of this project is to heavily involve the local churches in every, phase of this process. Thus far, we have received maximum support in this most crucial endeavor. In closing, we trust that you; will continue your capable and dedicated service to such a progressive community. Florida City is certainly fortunate to have a public official of your caliber. We wish only the best for you and the remainder of your family. Cordially,. .
