Special Presentation 3 4 • Maria Gomez -5810 SW Commerce Lane 5 (Warehouse Restaurant & Lounge) 6 7 Mr. Gibson introduced Ms. Gomez who addressed the Board 8 regarding her plans for investing in Commerce Lane. She-said that 9 she is purchasing the building at the above - referenced address. 10 She is planning to open a restaurant /lounge. The building is 11 about 3400 sq. ft. and it will have a second floor with open sky 12 light. She indicated that she has met some opposition regarding 13 her plans but she feels very strongly that there are 14 opportunities there which have not been seen yet. She then 15 encouraged the Board to review the business plan and proposal 16 which she had prepared, and said that she is looking for some 17 support from the. Board. She continued to explain that the plans 18 are for creating an ambiance similar to a Miami Beach style 19 lounge. Ms. Gomez indicated that they plan to have the 20 establishment open from 5:00 p.m. to 2:00 a.m., first on Fridays 21 and Saturdays and then expanding to a few days during the week. 22 She has met with Assistant Chief of Police Mills who has assured 23 her that opening at night will not be an issue in the area. She 24 has also spoken with the parking director who has assured her 25 that there will be no problem with parking at night time. She 26 said that she is prepared and willing to work with the Board. in 27 order to.make her plans to be successful. 28 29 Vice Mayor Palmer asked Ms. Gomez what kind of support she 30 is expecting from the Board. Ms. Gomez said that the support she 31 is seeking is both financial and emotional. She said that the 32 purchase price of the property is $215,000 and they will be 33 putting down approximately 45 percent of the purchase price and 34 they will be closing on the property on June 16th. The cost to 35 complete the project will, be approximately $284,000. She said 36 that they are looking for an integrated grant and loan program 37 and .they are just looking for support on a non - interest loan 38 which they will be paying back within the next 2 -3 years. 39 40 Ms. Boutsis said that she has recommended to Ms. Gomez that 41 she needs to fill out a grant application and sit down with 42 Hakeem Oshikoya and with Mr. Gibson to find out to see what we 43 can afford and under what kind of loan as their entire budget is 44 $800,000. After they calculate that, we need to look into 45 security, as well as all the expenditures she will incur. Ms. 46 Boutsis said that after Ms. Gomez has all of this ready then the 47 complete project may be presented to the Board for consideration. 48 49 Mr. McCants indicated that Ms. Gomez has presented to them 50 such a complete.plan that they want to support her. However, the 51 line item for those types of loans is $50,000, and we have never 52 awarded more than $22,000, Mr. McCants explained. Ms. Gomez then 53 explained that she has a secured job; therefore she will be able COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY 2 MINUTES - May 13, 2004 1 to pay back the loan regardless of whether she succeeds or not in 2 her venture. 3 4 Member Sherar said that by putting 45 percent down they will 5 have a high equity on.the property as long as real estate values 6 stay up. ,He also indicated that the OCED grant would be out of 7 the question since the deadline is the beginning of June, and 8 also another requirement is that the business has to be already 9 established. Mr. McCants indicated that the deadline for the OCED 10 grant is the beginning of the year. 11 12 Chairperson Russell said that after the grant application is 13 completed they will consider the different options that there may 14 be as far as the loan is concerned. She also indicated that there 15 is no parking lot there and we will need to take a hard look at 16 parking and what infrastructure will need to be provided so that 17 they have adequate parking also. Ms. Gomez said that they are 18 looking at valet parking and are working with the County to rent 19 the Metrorail parking facility. 20 21 Chairperson Russell said that she is very excited about the 22 potential of this venture, and with the consensus of the Board- 23 she indicated that this is a very good idea. 24 25 Ms. Boutsis said for the records that Ms. Gomez has 26 registered as a lobbyist. 27 28 29 6. CRA Director's Report: 30 31 2. SMCRA publications update 32 33 Mr. Gibson explained that when he came aboard in January, 34 one of the areas of concern and which is also very crucial for 35 this entire process is the need for accurate information about 36 what the CRA is all about. Staff has made a recommendation to the 37 CRA's publicist to produce four publications for this purpose. He 38 then proceeded to introduce Ms. Mumford. 39 40 a. Bobbie Mumford & Company 41 42 Ms. Mumford explained that the first thing that they have 43 done under the' leadership of the new Director is to revisit 44 previous brochures and to update them. She indicated that the 45 brochure is very important to the CRA since it will be 46 disseminated among leaders of influence and potential investors. 47 She then asked the Board members to take the brochure for their 48 reviewing saying that she would welcome their comments and 49 suggestions. 50 51 Ms. Mumford .then referred to the quarterly newsletter, 52 consisting of eight pages, featuring stories such as the one 53 about South Miami Gardens. She indicated '.that this publication 54 will be provided to the' Board' by Monday for their review and COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY 3 MINUTES - May 13, 2004 I feedback, saying that she feels it is very important that the 2 members are involved in the messages that are being sent out to 3 the community. 4 5 She then talked about the business_ directory. which will be 6 distributed to the 3,000 residents within the CRA area. The 7 purpose of the directory will be for the residents to utilize and 8 support the businesses in the CRA area. The directory will also 9 be included in the newsletter mailing. Ms. Mumford said that 10 their intention is to make the cost of printing and processing 11 the directory self sustained; therefore, they are seeking 12 advertisements for its publication. She then asked the Board for 13 input as to the size of the business directory. 14 15 Chairperson Russell said that the business directory seems 16 like a very good idea. 17 18 Ms. Mumford then said that they are estimating the cost for 19 the 3,000 copies of the directory to be between $2,500- $4,000. 20 Chairperson Russell then exchanged some ideas as whether the 2T directory should be `updated on a yearly basis. Ms. Mumford 22 indicated that all revenues from the directory would be going 23 directly to the CRA, not to her firm. Chairperson Russell then 24 asked the Board to send their individual suggestions to Ms. 25 Mumford but reminded them not to communicate among themselves. 26 27 Member Sherar said to have a real issue about South Miami 28 Gardens since the project has not been fully explained, and that 29 the information shown in the newsletter is totally incomplete. He 30 said that the article does not mention the 58 units there of 31 which 17 units have been vacant for two years. He also indicated 32 that the article does not mention that one of the plans of South 33 Miami Gardens is to knock down St. Albans. Mr. McCants indicated 34 that the issue of knocking down St. Albans has never been part of 35 any discussion during the community meetings. However, Member 36 Sherar said that in the picture shown on a pamphlet circulated a 37 couple of years ago envisioning what South Miami Gardens would 38 look like, St. Albans was not there. Mr. McCants said that what 39 was shown on that picture was preliminary. Member Sherar then 40 said that if it is preliminary it means that there is a 41 consideration to knock it down. Member Sherar said that this is 42 not a consideration for him since that serves such an important 43 roll in the community. He said that there are a lot of issues 44 still to be resolved with the South Miami Gardens project. 45 46 Chairperson Russell then said that the answer to that right 47 now is to leave the South Miami Gardens article out of this 48 newsletter. Mr. Gibson then indicated that since Mr. Miller had 49 contributed to this article, it might be a good idea setting up 50 an appointment with Mr. Miller to clarify all the concerns 51 presented by Member Sherar. Chairperson Russell said that it 52 might be a good 'idea for the new Board members to sit down with 53 Mr. Miller and let him bring everyone up to speed on the complete 54 history of the project. COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY 4 MINUTES - May 13, 2004 1 2 Counsel Boutsis then suggested that the RFQ ad should be 3 included in the newsletter. 4 5 Vice Chair Palmer said that she would Tike to have Mr. 6 Gibson shed some light on the subject of the South Miami Gardens 7 project. 8 9 Member Wiscombe said that it is vital to include a letter 10 from the Director in the newsletter since it is critical to bring 11 out the Director's' vision. He then referred to the original 12 workshop which was held at the Senior Center on the South Miami 13 Gardens project, suggesting that perhaps some of those 14 participants should be included in the proposed meeting with Mr. 15 Miller and the new Board members. 16 17 Chairperson Russell then suggested that perhaps a joint 18 workshop with the CRA Advisory Board and Mr. Miller to discuss 19 the South Miami Gardens project would be beneficial. Input from 20 interested residents may also be a good idea, she added. 21 22 Mr. Gibson said that this project has taken too long to take 23 off and Member Wiscombe clarified that one good reason for the 24 delay is because we were doing the infrastructure, getting the 25 funding, and also doing Church Street, and all of that had to be 26 done first before we did anything else. 27 28 Ms. Mumford at this time reiterated that the complete 8 -page 29 newsletter would be emailed, faxed or hand - delivered to the Board 30 members, and requested to them to try and get back to her with 31 comments no later than Thursday, May 20th. 32 33 II. Madison Square Saturdays 34 35 Mr. Gibson presented before - and -after photographs to the 36 Board from the site where the Saturdays' project will take place. 37 38 Mr. Gibson then presented in detail the budget that they 39 have prepared for the project. Vendor's application fee is $60 40 and it is non refundable, and there is a $600 deposit made to the 41 City which is refundable. He said that they might have to 42 purchase about 7 -8 umbrellas in the range of $20 -25 each. They 43 plan to get two banners for the immediate area at the price of, 44 about $100 each. Advertisements will be in the range of $500. For 45 surface treatment they have two estimates and waiting for a third 46 estimate. For the clean up they have budgeted $600 for the entire 47 six months, at $25 per session. He then talked about the pavilion 48 decoration, consisting of a nice size tent, originally donated 49 for the domino /checkers players which is in limbo,at this point, 50 will be installed at the center which will be called the CRA 51 pavilion, featuring CRA information, and displaying renderings on 52 the different ongoing projects within the area. Regarding 53 insurance, he said that they have received three quotes on 54 blanket coverage for all of the vendors,' and' the average quote COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY 5 MINUTES - May 13, 2004 1 amount is $1,500. The total of the projected budget- is $8,000, 2 including some unplanned miscellaneous expenses. This has been 3 brought in the form of a resolution. He said that they project to 4 have a net profit of $4,000 at the end of the six -month period 5 and after all expenses have been deducted. Mr. Gibson indicated 6 that their intention behind this project is not necessarily to 7 profit but to be "a catalyst for change." 8 9 Chairperson Russell then touched on some points such as the 10 insurance. She also asked Mr. Gibson whether he knew how the 11 adjacent residents felt about the project and whether anyone had 12 any objections as to having this on their backyards. He indicated 13 that he had met with some neighbors a couple of weeks ago to 14 explain the project to them and even one of the neighbors 15 expressed an interest in being a vendor. He said that nobody had 16 an objection to the project. 17 18 Member Cobb asked what does a vendor get in return for the 19 $20 rent. .Mr. Gibson said that they are basically renting the 20 space. 21 22 Counsel Boutsis .at this point referred to the resolution 23 which would be added to the Agenda, relating to the expenditures 24 associated with the Madison Square Saturdays' project. This 25 resolution is to authorize the move of the $8,000 on the proposed 26 budget from the cash reserve and creating a Madison Square bank 27 account which will be a separate line item account, strictly 28 controlling these funds, and the funds that would be received 29 from the vendors, to avoid any commingling. 30 31 Chairperson Russell then referred to a clause she wanted to 32 add to the resolution, something to the 'effect that the use of 33 these funds complies with our plan. 34 35 Counselor Boutsis then read the amendment as follows: "the 36 use of the funds for Madison Square Saturdays complies with the 37 economic development purposes of the CRA plan and the Interlocal 38 Agreement," and that will be Section 3. 39 40 Moved by Chairperson Russell, seconded by Member Wiscombe, 41 the motion to amend the resolution as stated above by, Counselor 42 Boutsis passed by a 6 -0 vote. 43 44 Member Wiscombe: Yea 45 Member Cobb: Yea 46 Member Sherar: Yea 47 Member Bryan: Yea 48 Member Birts- Cooper: Absent 49 Chairperson Russell: Yea 50 Vice Chair Palmer: Yea 51 52 Member Sherar then asked Member Wiscombe who has the 53 experience with the Farmers' Market, whether he felt comfortable 54 with this budget. Member Wiscombe said that the only weak spot COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY 6 MINUTES - May 13, 2004 1 that he perceives would be with regard to advertising and that 2 would be his only major concern since it could be expensive. 3 4 Member Sherar also referred to Mr. Perry's nearby building 5 which is in need of painting since it makes the area look in 6 decaying condition. 7 8 Chairperson Russell pointed out that the members of the 9 Board have a discretionary account of $1,000 which they can use 10 if they wish to contribute to things like this which would be 11 towards the improvement of the surroundings of the upcoming 12 Madison Square Saturdays market. 13 14 Vice Chair Palmer also referring to the dilapidated building 15 in reference said that the tenants should be encouraged to clean 16 all the junk that is thrown around. 17 18 Counsel Boutsis said that Code Enforcement has been trying 19 to correct the situation for some time and Mr. Perry has been 20 dealing with this problem for a while, in fact, he has paid 21 thousands of dollars in fines on account of his tenants. The 22 Board clarified that the property used to belong to Mr. Perry but 23 was recently purchased by Hanover. 24 25 Member Cobb asked and Mr. McCants clarified the issue 26 relating to license for vendors handling food. Chairperson 27 Russell then said that the license number should be written on 28 the application. Also, a copy of the license should be filed with 29 the application. 30 31 Member Wiscombe said that in the event 'that County 32 inspectors come around, the vendors will need to produce their 33 license number. Also the Agriculture Department may randomly show 34 up and .ask for a copy of the receipt, especially from anyone 35 selling citrus, and they will ask for a copy of the receipt to 36 see where the citrus was purchased. 37 38 III. Teresa Sawyer Property (recommendation for sale) 39 40 Mr. Gibson explained that the property which Ms. Sawyer is 41 interested in buying from the City was acquired by the City in 42 2001 for $5,806.46 and it was recently appraised at $9,776. This 43 was presented to the CRA Advisory Board at a recent meeting where 44 a sale price of $10,000 was recommended. He also indicated that 45 the City Manager is endorsing that sale price. 46 47 Chairperson Russell, with the consensus of the Board, said 48 that they were all in agreement with the recommended sale price 49 of $10,000. 50 51 Counsel Boutsis then directed Ms. Sawyer to have all 52 pertinent documents ready for the next meeting. 53 54 COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY 7 MINUTES - May 13, 2004 IV. Recapitulation of Rebuilding Together (4- 24 -04) Mr. Gibson and Mr. McCants briefly discussed this item relating to the repairs done to 14 homes. Chairperson Russell indicated that the before- and -after photos would be a great thing to include in the newsletter. Mr. McCants said that next year the organization wants to identify 24 homes instead of 14. Vice Chair,Palmer said that this is a great program, urging staff to remember people with disabilities the next time around. Mr. McCants indicated that the first choice on the list of priorities is the disabled and the elderly, then the low income people.. V. Relocation of checkers and dominos players Mr. Gibson referred to the safety issue relating to this issue and based on the recommendation of the Board at the last meeting, they met with the Park and Recreation Department staff who provided a brochure with potential facilities for the relocation but he said that they were not prepared yet with the cost amount at this point. Chairperson Russell then said that while a proper facility is being considered, it might be a good idea to have them use during the week the CRA pavilion with a tent for Madison Square Saturdays. She.then indicated that she had been approached with a complaint about the beer drinking asking that it be stopped. VI. Rambo Home acquisition update Mr. Gibson explained that Member Birts- Cooper had requested this information. He indicated that this is very near closing and it may take place as soon as the beginning of June. Chairperson Russell then referred to the difference in affordability between the Greater Miami Neighborhood with an approximate cost of $120,000 versus the Habitat with an approximate cost of $65,000. Mr. McCants said that the Rambo home is the first of seven for which we are already committed to build with them. Chairperson Russell asked whether there is a way to get out of that commitment and Counselor Boutsis said that she will see what she can do. Member Cobb indicated that she has also heard complaints against Habitat. She then referred to one of her neighbors who is in the process of acquiring a Greater Miami Neighborhood home and who asked her whether there would be more funds to assist her. Counselor Boutsis recommended that her neighbor fills out one of the applications for the residential funding that we have to see if she could get some assistance that way. COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY 8 MINUTES - May 13, 2004 I Chairperson Russell directed Mr. Gibson to place on the next 2 agenda the subject of Greater Miami Neighborhood so that they 3 could discuss the terms of the contract among other issues. 4 5 VII. James Bowman Scholarship 6 7 Mr. Gibson announced the 2004 -2005 James Bowman Scholarship 8 $2,000 award. Last year's was awarded to Member Palmer's 9 daughter. A deadline has been established for submitting 10 applications which is June 18th. Mr. Gibson added that Mr. Bowman 11 was a pioneer and a reputable man who cared about this community. 12 Chairperson Russell added that Mr. Bowman was an original member 13 of this Board. 14 15 Vice Chair Palmer said that her experience with the 16 scholarship is that the process moved rather slowly and her 17 daughter did not get anything for a long time at the beginning. 18 Mr. McCants explained that the contract was based on reimbursing 19 expenditures to make,sure that the student was actually attending 20 school. Vice Chair Palmer said that the contract was not clear. 21 22 Member Wiscombe said that perhaps the communication was not 23 clear but as far as the direction from this Board, it was very 24 clear that the scholarship would be awarded upon completion of 25 the course. 26 27 Vice Chair Palmer said that her daughter is doing very well, 28 pursuing a mechanical engineering degree and she will be starting 29 her internship with Caterpillar, and thanked the Board for their 30 help. 31 32 Chairperson Russell said to Bobbie that this would be 33 another. interesting feature to include in her newsletter. She 34 then said that maybe'it should be made more clear with a note at,, 35 the bottom of the application stating that this scholarship is 36 reimbursable upon 'submitting a receipt. 37 38 Counsel Boutsis explained that the money for the scholarship 39 is included in the budget every year and the County approves it. 40 41 Chairperson Russell again reminded everyone about the 42 discretionary account with $1,000 that each member has which 43 could be used at their discretion as long as it falls within the 44 CRA plans. The Commissioners also have another discretionary 45 $1,000 account for similar purposes. 46 47 There being no further comments or discussion, the 48 Director's Report concluded. 49 50 7. CRA General Counsel's Report: 51 52 Counsel Boutsis referred to an.ethics seminar which will be 53 scheduled sometime in the summer.

They are now talking to 13 consultants who will be combining the documents of Charrette II 14 with the CRA master plan in order to produce a document which 15 they could use, indicating that this will be discussed at a 16 workshop sometime during the summer. 17 18 Member Sherar then said that during the evaluation he will 19 be looking to see how the goals set forth by the CRA in its 20 inception have been met. He also indicated that he will be trying 21 to have a presentation to evaluate whether it would be more 22 efficient for the City to have a coordinated development 23 department as opposed to a fractured development department which 24 is what we have now. 25 26 With regard to the South Miami Gardens project he said that 27 he would like to have some representative from Miami -Dade County 28 HUD clarify certain points. Chairperson Russell then recommended 29 having a HUD representative to attend the workshop in reference. 30 31 Member Sherar also directed staff for some formal 32 information at the next meeting with regard to the Shops at 33 Sunset Place, to see whether they are meeting their commitment 34 with the City. He said that it was his understanding that when 35 the Shops were established they were granted certain advantages 36 for being in the CRA area. 37 38 Mr. Gibson then said for clarification purposes that the 39 Shops did not exist.at the time that the CRA was created. He said 40 that he was part of the welfare work initiative at the time that 41 the Shops were being established and that the Shops did not want 42 the proposed attachment with welfare related workers due to 43 liability issues. 44 45 Member Cobb thanked Mr. Gibson, Mr. McCants and Ms. Mumford 46 for the fine publication as presented. 47 48 Vice Chair Palmer thanked everyone for coming and said that 49 she liked the project being presented to them tonight.. 50 51 Chairperson Russell thanked Maria Gomez for her presentation 52 saying that by judging from her expertise in the restaurant 53 business, the concept, presented by Ms. Gomez appears to have a 54 good chance for success.

Boutsis, General Couns Date: August 20, 2004 Re: RFP /RFQ General Counsel Services The SMCRA issued its RFP/RFQ for general counsel services on May 26, 2004. All applicants were to respond by July 29, 2004. The SMCRA received two responses: (1) Weiss Serota Helfman Pastoriza Guedes Cole & Boniske, P.A.; and (2) Louise R. Caro, Esq. In a preliminary review of the applications, only one of the applicants met the minimum requirements set out in the SMCRA RFP/RFQ. The second applicant, Louise R. Caro, Esq., does not have the minimum experience qualifications, as she only has two year's experience as an attorney. Further, the applicant failed to enclose all the necessary attachments to the response, including, but not limited to, sample billing. As the second applicant does not meet the SMCRA's minimum qualifications, that application should be rejected. The SMCRA must now decide how it would like to proceed: (1) it can reject all bids; (2) it can reject the non - responsive bid and proceed with scheduling an interview of the one responsive bidder; or (3) accept the response without interview and direct staff to negotiate a contract with the firm. Should the board proceed with the single applicant, I do recommend that, at a minimum, the SMCRA interview the applicant to determine whether the board is satisfied with the applicant. If satisfied, the SMCRA should then initiate negotiations with the firm. Once the SMCRA successfully negotiates a contract the board can approve the contract at a regularly � scheduled meeting and move forward with the new counsel. Mr. Gibson recommends proceeding with the one responsive applicant, schedule the interview, and, if acceptable, negotiate a contract for general counsel services. 91 1 RESOLUTION NO. 2 3 A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI 4 COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY RELATING 5 TO ATTORNEY'S FEES; AUTHORIZING TRANSFER OF 6 $189000.00 FROM THE CRA CASH CARRYOVER TO CRA 7 PROFESSIONAL SERVICES ACCOUNT, ACCOUNT NO: 8 610- 1110 - 564 -31 -20 FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES. 9 10 WHEREAS, Nagin Gallop Figueredo, P.A., and Lott & Levine submitted 11 invoices to the CRA for legal services rendered, and ending August 18, 2004 in 12 the amount of $24,653.75; and, 13 14 WHEREAS, the anticipated fee's for Professional Legal Services rendered, 15 will exceed the amount budgeted for F/Y 2003 —2004, therefore the SMCRA is 16 recommending that subsequent payment be transferred from the SMCRA cash 17' carryover to account No: 610 -1110- 564- 31 -20. 18 19 20 NOW THEREFORE.
