35 coming on line the parking situation at the Rosie Lee Wesley
36 Clinic needs to be revisited. He asked staff to look at ways to

40 Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program could be utilized.
41
42 Mr. Wyche affirmed that the Rosie Lee Wesley Clinic would
43 comply fully with any of the City's parking regulations.

18 same time. - He said that he was concerned about putting a
19 parking garage in area that is known to be residential.

22 possibilities with trying to do something with the space between
23 the Rosie Lee Wesley Clinic and the Senior Citizens Center.

a
1 Vice Chairperson Russell said that she'd read the
2 advertisement. The advertisement did not specify a Masters
3 Degree but indicated that it would be preferred.
4
5 Member Wiscombe related that he'd went back to the minutes
6. of the meeting when this item was discussed and all had agreed
7 that the advertisement would read a Masters in Business
8 Administration or Urban Planning. And that was the direction of
9 this Body. He said that a Masters Preferred is not the same
10 thing. This is why he was asking for a copy of the
11 advertisement.
12
-13.1 Member Feliu concurred with•the agreed-upon requirements.,
14.
Member Wiscombe said that,- -he,ld lip e` for sta-ff---to understand
16 that when the Board gives a directive, they ask for it to be
17 followed.
18
19 Executive Director Scurr said that the job advertisement was
20 provided. He further related that his interpretation of. what
21 the Board had discussed as guidance. He conveyed that he needed
22 explicit guidance as to whether the Board would only accept
23 individuals with a Masters Degree in Business Administration and
24 Urban Planning.
25
26 Vice Chairperson Russell said that in order to make any
27 further comments on this matter she'd have to review the
28 videotape of the meeting to get the specifics of the discussion
29 because the minutes are not done in verbatim format.
30
31 Member Feliu asked if the eight finalists all had a Masters
32 Degree.
33
34 Mr. Rosado said that most of the finalists do but not.all of
35 them. He said there were several of the finalists that have
36 Masters in Public.Administration, and would recommend that those
37 candidates not be disqualified.
38
39 Member Wiscombe said that he did not have a problem with a
40 Masters in Public Administration. He related that his point is
41 that the Board gave definite directions as to how this process
42 should have been approached. The wording "preferred" is not the
43 same as "required."
44
45 Vice Chairperson Russell shared that she remember the
46 conservation clearly and it points to a problem of
47 communication. We need more specific directions from the Board
48 so that this doesn't happen again. ,Since this specifically
49 Member Wiscombe's request, either the Board goes back to the
50 drawing board now or Member Wiscombe allow the Executive
51 Director to interpret it the way he did and accept the Public
52 Administration Master. She further suggested adding Architecture
53 as another area of consideration.

v
1 Member Wiscombe said that held like to find some stability
2 with. this position. A candidate that could serve the CRA
3 community in the best way and manner is needed.
4
5 Chairperson Robaina said that a Board member might
6 singularly make suggestions as to what he /she might want. The
7 Board however needs to make sure there is a consensus as to what
8' is wanted. Thus, calling for a vote or acclamation of the entire
9 Board. This would provide administration with clear directions.
10
11 Executive Director Scurr asked for clarification purposes
12. •that it is the intent of the Board not to consider applicants
13 with less than an advanced.degree.(Masters Degree)-., Three areas
14 were listed: 1) Public Administration; 2) Urban Planning and 3)
---Business Administration. Administration. He questions whether the Board did not
16 want to consider any other advanced degrees.
17
18 Member Wiscombe reemphasized the importance of selecting a
19 candidate with the appropriate degree and qualifications that
20 best able to fill this particular position.
21
22 Member Feliu said it would also be a big plus if all those
23 qualifications and characteristics could be found in someone
24 that lives in and knows this community.
25
26 Chairperson Robaina related that because there are some
27 issues, what is the next step the Board wanted to take and what
28 is to be done with the potential candidates already notified. He
29 said that he did not have a problem with re- advertising the
30 position and leaving the candidates already selected to be
31 interviewed in the process. He emphasized the importance of
32 moving quickly with this process.
33
34 Executive Director Scurr said that he wasn't sure there was
35 a need to re- advertise. If the CRA Board continues to redefine
36 the criteria, then the short list can be shortened.
37
38 Member Birts - Cooper voiced her hope that the ideal candidate
39 is someone the community could really relate to.
40
41 Member Bethel suggested having the CRA office located in the
42 CRA community.
43
44 Vice Chairperson Russell asked if the Board was ready for
45 closure with the applications already received, with the
46 Masters' degree being a minimum, and decide if it's appropriate
47 for the position and take the person with the higher level of
48 education qualification.

51 three areas (Business Administration, Urban Planning or Public

5. South Miami Gardens.
Mr. Richard Miller appeared before the Board to provide an
update on the South Miami Gardens Redevelopment. The Miami -Dade
Housing Regional - officials indicated that they; were: currently-
'involved in litigation with the residents of Scott Homes by the
Sea (this. project is in the unincorporated area of Miami -Dade
County). Miami -Dade Housing has been willing to enter in to
discussion to pursue various perimeters of options. Based upon
the Multi- Family Redevelopment Plan, which' calls for either 126
units to be reconstructed or 168 units and there could be any
combination of rentals verses ownership units and apartments
verses townhouses. Administration has been exploring those
various options and narrowing things down so that by the next
CRA meeting more definitive areas of opportunities will be
presented.
Chairperson Robaina asked staff to communicate with County
Commissioner Morales to garner his support on this matter.
7. Florida Institute of Construction Careers.
Mr. Rick Neils a representative of J &J Associates appeared
before the CRA Board and provided a verbal profile of the
Florida Institute of Construction Careers. This is. a thirty -day
certification - training program, which is a general supervisory
training level. With this level of training a wide variety of
positions at the Miami International Airport construction site
are offered to those who have completed the program. This is a
guaranteed program and everyone that completes the program is
placed on a job. The minimum wage to start is between 10 -12
dollars an hour, plus benefits.
Member Feliu asked how would this program work for someone
that has a little blemish in their background.
Mr. Neils said the screening qualifying process is very
clear about what it takes to be a success in construction and
what an individual is willing to do. There are certain projects
people with blemished backgrounds -would not be qualified to work
(e.g. Airport construction projects).
Mr. McCants said two of
this program so attractive,

33
34 Member Wiscombe said that with the new housing developments
35 coming on line the parking situation at the Rosie Lee Wesley
36 Clinic needs to be revisited. He asked staff to look at ways to
37 re -align the parking area more toward the clinic side. He
38 further suggested that if Rosie Lee Wesley was expanding its
39 services perhaps the HUD Housing unit previously used by the
40 Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program could be utilized.
41
42 Mr. Wyche affirmed that the Rosie Lee Wesley Clinic would
43 comply fully with any of. the City's parking regulations.
44 Administration is looking at other parking alternatives.
45
46 Member Bethel suggested that the Rosie Lee Wesley Clinic

MINUTES - July 22, 2002
Mr. Wyche related that approximately 8 to 15 percent of
South Miami's residents were utilizing the Rosie Lee Wesley
Center. However, the Center makes its services available to
everybody and did not target just South Miami residents.
Chairperson Robaina said that he'd like to see more South
Miami-residents serviced at the Rosie Lee Wesley Center. He said
that he'd like to see services expanded at this facility (adding
another floor and parking structure) . He suggested entering
into a joint partnership with Rosie Lee Wesley Center. He
proposed working in conjunction with the Health Center in order
to get funding for the expanding on the Center's current site.
Member Wiscombe said that with the HUD Rehab project and the4_�
new Habitat homes coming on line, all the angles should be
looked at to determine the overall vision for that area and how
is the City going to protect it and the property values at the
same time. He said that he was concerned about putting a
parking garage in area that is known to be residential.
Executive Director Scurr said there were some interesting
possibilities with trying to do something with the space between
the Rosie Lee Wesley Clinic and the Senior Citizens Center.
.Member Wiscombe emphasized the importance of keeping the
residential component of this area in mind. He related that
child safety is also of great importance.
Chairperson Robaina said that he was interested in working
on a long -term solution and emphasized that as the population
grows so will the needs for health care services.
Member Birts- Cooper commented that child safety would have
to be a contributing factor when considering the Miller
Brothers' property as an alternative off -site parking.
Executive Director Scurr said that alternatives could be
considered to alleviate the parking situation. Administration
would like to work with the Rosie Lee Wesley Health Center in
developing a door -to -door program educating the community of
this full service health care facility.
Mr. Wyche said that a video has been developed for just-this
purpose.
Vice Chairperson Russell said that she was concerned with
those children from one year .forward who were not getting
adequate health care because they have to be treated someplace
outside the City that closes when their parents are getting home .
from work. She said that she'd also like to see a dental health
care program in place

..r.,,,mo� ,..,.. �,•. :...,:.
1 Vice Chairperson Russell said that she'd read the
2 advertisement. The advertisement did not specify a Masters
3 Degree but indicated that it would be preferred.
4
5 Member Wiscombe related that he'd went back to the minutes
6 of the meeting when this item was discussed and all had agreed
7 that the advertisement would read a Masters in Business
8 Administration or Urban Planning. And that was the direction of
9 this Body. He said that a Masters Preferred is not the same
10 thing. This is why he was asking for a copy of the
11 advertisement.
12
13- Member Feliu concurred with the agreed upon requirements.
14:...
15 Member Wiscombe said that he'--d like for staff -- -to understand
16 that when •the Board gives a directive, they ask for it to be
17 followed.
18
19 Executive Director Scurr said that the job advertisement was
20 provided. He further related that his interpretation of what
21 the Board had discussed as guidance. He conveyed that he needed
22 explicit guidance as to whether the Board would only accept
23 individuals with a Masters Degree in Business Administration and
24 Urban Planning.
25
26 Vice Chairperson Russell said that in order to make any
27 further comments on this matter she'd have to review the
28 videotape of the meeting to get the specifics of the discussion
29 because the minutes are not done in verbatim format.
'3 0
31 Member Feliu asked if the eight finalists all had a Masters
32 Degree.
33
34 Mr. Rosado said that most of the finalists do but not all of
35 them. He said there were several of the finalists that have
36 Masters in Public Administration, and would recommend that those
37 candidates not be disqualified.
38
39 Member Wiscombe said that he did.not have a problem with a
40. Masters in Public Administration. He related that his point is
41 that the Board igave definite directions as to how this process
42 should have been approached. The wording "preferred" is not the
43 same as "required."
44
45 Vice Chairperson Russell shared that she remember the
46 conservation clearly and it points to . a problem of
47 communication.. We need more specific directions from the Board
48 so that this doesn't happen again. Since this specifically
49 Member Wiscombe's request, either the Board goes back to the
50 drawing board; now or Member Wiscombe allow the Executive
51 Director to interpret it the way he did and accept the Public
52 Administration Master. She further suggested adding Architecture
53 as another',area of consideration.
54
COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENG5' 5
1 Member Wiscombe said that held like to find some stability
2 with this position. A candidate that could serve the CRA
3 community in the best way and manner is needed.
4
5 Chairperson Robaina said that a Board member might
6 singularly make suggestions as to what he /she might want. The
7 Board however needs to make sure there is a consensus as to what
8 is wanted. Thus, calling for a vote or acclamation of the entire
9 Board. This would provide administration with clear directions.
10
11 Executive Director Scurr asked for clarification purposes
12 -that it is the intent of the Board not to consider applicants
13 with less than an advanced .degree (Masters Degree).. Three areas
14 were listed: 1) Public Administration; 2) Urban Planning and 3)
15'--Bus'ns�
ies Administration. He questions whether the Board did not
16 want to consider any other advanced degrees.
17
18 Member Wiscombe reemphasized the importance of selecting a
19 candidate with the appropriate degree and qualifications that
20 best able to fill this particular position.
21
22. Member Feliu said it would also be a big plus if all those
23 qualifications and characteristics could be found in someone
24 that lives in and knows this community.
25
26 Chairperson Robaina related that because there are some
27 issues, what is the next step the Board wanted to take and what
28 is to be done with the potential candidates already notified. He
29 said that he did not have a problem with re- advertising the
30 position and leaving the candidates already selected to be
31 interviewed in the process. He emphasized the importance of
32 moving quickly with this process.
33
34 Executive Director Scurr said that he wasn't sure there was
35 a need to re- advertise. If the CRA Board continues to redefine
36 the criteria, then the short list can be shortened.
37
38 Member Birts- Cooper voiced her hope that the ideal candidate
39 is someone the community could really relate to.
40
41 Member Bethel suggested having the CPA office located in the
42 CRA community.
43
44 Vice Chairperson Russell asked if the Board was ready for
45 closure with the applications already received, with the
46 Masters' degree being a minimum, and decide if. it's appropriate
47 for the position and take the person with the higher level of
48 education qualification.
49
50 Executive Director Scurr asked if this was limited to the
51 three areas (Business. Administration, Urban Planning or Public
52 Administration).

Vice Chairperson Russell related that four areas should be
considered with a crossover from Urban Planning to Architecture
and Architecture and Urban Planning.
By acclamation the Board agreed that the criteria for the
position of CRA Director should include a minimum of a Masters
Degree in: 1) Public Administration; 2) Business Administration;
3) Urban Planning; and 4) Architecture.
5. South Miami Gardens.
Mr. Richard Miller appeared before the Board to provide an
update on the South Miami Gardens Redevelopment. The Miami -Dade
Housing Regional officials indicated that they were currently
involved in litigation with the residents of Scott Homes by the
Sea (this project is in the unincorporated area of- Miami -Dade
County). Miami -Dade Housing has been willing to enter in. to
discussion to pursue various perimeters of options. Based upon
the Multi- Family Redevelopment Plan, which calls for either 126
units to be reconstructed or 168 units and there could be any
combination of rentals verses ownership units and apartments
verses townhouses. Administration has been exploring those
various options and narrowing things down so that by the next
CRA meeting more definitive areas of opportunities will be
presented.
Chairperson Robaina asked staff to communicate with County
Commissioner Morales to garner his support on this matter.-
7. Florida Institute of Construction Careers.
Mr. Rick Neils a representative of J &J Associates appeared
before the CRA Board and provided a verbal profile of the
Florida Institute of Construction Careers. This is a thirty -day
certification - training program, which is a general supervisory
training level. With this level of training a wide variety of
positions at the Miami International Airport construction site
are offered to those who have completed the program. This is a
guaranteed program and everyone that completes the program is
placed on a job. The minimum wage to start is between 10 -12
dollars an hour, plus benefits.
Member Feliu asked how would this program work for someone
that has a little blemish in their background.
Mr. Neils said the screening qualifying process is very
clear about what it takes to be a success in construction and
what an individual is willing to do.. There are certain projects
people with blemished backgrounds would not be .qualified to.work
(e.g. Airport construction projects).
Mr. McCants said two of the mitigating factors, which make
this program so attractive, is that they are willing to take ex-
offenders and guaranteed job placements.
COMMUNITY REDEVELOEVENT AGENC -Y 7
1 Mr. Neils said that this organization is seeking funding to
2 assist with this program.
3
4 Vice Chairperson Robaina questioned the requested funding
5 amount of $637,390.00.
6
7 Mr. Neils said this amount would cover 300 people without
8 any construction experience from the City of South Miami and
9 guarantee job placement with an average of 10 -12. dollars an
10 hour.'
11 .
12 Chairperson Robaina said that this request is more money
13 than the entire CRA budget.
14
15 Vice Chairperson Russell suggested sponsoring one person or
16 have the students sign an agreement that they would repay the
17 CRA for the tuition upon the successful completion of the
18 program and job placement. She said that she wanted an
19 opportunity to further discuss this matter with staff.

The South. Florida AIDS Network
FACT SHEET
ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND LEADERSHIP:
" A PIONEERING ROLE IN THE BATTLE AGAINST AIDS: Established in 1986 as
the first organization dedicated solely to the provision of care and treatment to
persons with HIV spectrum disease.
" Established and funded the first Provider Network of community health and
support agencies responding to the special challenges of HIV spectrum disease.
" To date, over 26,000 individuals and families affected by HIV spectrum
disease have been enrolled.
" PHT /SFAN has established a fourteen (14) year track record, in providing a
broad range of case management and related support services to persons with
HIV /AIDS. We have unmatched experience in delivering quantifiable benefits to
thousands of traditionally under - served clients in Miami -Dade County. Since
1986, we led the way in tapping State and Federal funding to initiate a case
management /client advocacy program for individuals with HIV /AIDS. We serve
mostly minority, indigent and under - insured clients who otherwise would
receive'NO service whatsoever.
" PHT /SFAN was honored as the recipient of the 1998 Metro -Dade County
Social Work Team of the Year.
" PHT /SFAN was the first hospital in Miami -Dade County to operate a Medicaid
Waiver (Project AIDS Cares) program; and it has served over 1,000 patients
since its inception nine (9) years ago. The program has successfully fulfilled its
mission to prevent institutionalization, thereby curtailing the high cost of
inpatient care.
" The PHT /SFAN was also the first automated case management agency, being
selected as a trial site for possible implementation in other areas.
" The PHT /SFAN is an enrollment site for the State of Florida's Drug Assistance
Program (ADAP). To date, we have processed more enrollments than any other
site in the State. We ensure that persons in need of life sustaining drugs have
access to any and all medications that may benefit and /or enhance their quality
of life. Thus, making HIV spectrum disease a chronic and manageable illness.
"Unconditional Commitment to Compassionate Support and Quality Care Since
1986"
