MINUTES — March 11, 2004
The southeast corner of the intersection of S.W. 59°i Place and S.W. 64I` S. treet has been identified as a
prime location for commercial and economic development within South Miami's CRA ( SMCRA) district.
Preliminary discussion and planning is presently taking place to enhance the establishment of a mixed -use -
facility that would include retail businesses on the ground floor. As a prelude to these businesses becoming
available for SMCRA residents, star has considered a concept that would provide for an immediate
positive impact upon the community. Thus impact will be realized through the creation of ` Madison
Square Saturdays'.
The existing `South Miami Farmers Market' (SMFM) is slated to temporarily cease its operations after the
second Saturday in May (5- 8-04). `Madison Square Saturdays' is proposing to commence its operations on
May 22, 2004. Not to interfere with another successful venture, Madison Square Saturdays will cease
operations upon SMFM'S return in the fall of 2004.. SMCRA'S staff is currently performing its due
diligence by ensuring that the projected site has been cleared and properly prepared to begin operations.
Subsequent preparations will continue with the approval by SMCRA'S Board.
The promotion of a venture such as `Madison Square Saturdays', would invariably become the catalyst by
Which any future sustainable economic activity would take place for this area. This area has long been
without the benefit of having viable businesses that serve the immediate needs of its residents. With
`Madison Square Saturdays' coming on line, SMCRA will have established a highly visible project in the
ongoing quest of fulfilling its objectives.

SOUTH MIAMI
COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
To: SMCRA Chairperson and Board Members
From: Joseph Gibson, Director
Date: April 5, 2004
Subject: SMCRA Inter -Local Agreement
When the South Miami CRA ( SMCRA) was established, the inter -local agreement indicated
that the tax increment financing (TIF) a percentage with Miami -Dade County and the City of
South Miami would be set at 50 %. At the same time, it was anticipated that a large TIF
revenue stream would be realized with the opening of The Shops At Sunset Place.
Unfortunately, the expected revenue stream from this mall has not materialized because of the
consistent reduction of their tax appraisal. A combination of these factors has seriously
inhibited the SMCRA'S capacity to plan and complete major projects. In spite of these
shortcomings, SMCRA has proven to make significant achievements throughout the years of
its existence.
There is an inherent discrepancy in the percentage that SMCRA receives in comparison to
what the other CRA' S are receiving throughout the county. (See Enclosures) The crux of this
issue is, simply to address a matter of equity. Without knowing of any particular reason for
this disparity, it only stands to reason that a process is , generated which would rectify this
disparity.
Given the profusion of new development within the City of South Miami, SMCRA should be
well positioned for making the necessary land acquisitions, and also to be able to provide
funding for major building remodeling. With expanded programs and activity, it is only
logical to conclude that SMCRA will be in urgent need of adding additional personnel. This
resolution is being presented to the Board for their recommendation to staff to proceed with
this process
