Corporation Grant agreement from Rea Development Corporation to Sunshine State development of South Florida Incorporated authorizing the executive director and anmc attorney to negotiate and Final an assignment and assumption agreement between Reaver Development Corporation and sunshine state development of Florida south Florida Incorporated authorizing the executive director to execute the assignment and assumption agreement authorizing the executive director to take all action necessary to implement the terms of the assignment and assumption agreement and providing for an effective date um before we continue just noting at 6:37 p.m. um Committee Member kenth each will um joined the committee the meeting I apologize no worries um nmc staff is requesting that the nmc advisory committee recommend approval to the nmc board for their assignment and Assumption of the Riva Development Corporation Grant agreement with nmc by Sunshine State development of South Florida Inc for the completion of Nomi LS the nmc board entered into a grant agreement with Reva dated April ail 14th 2020 awarding them $486,500 per of Ami with the remaining two units to be for seniors at 140% of Ami on December 15th 2021 the parties entered into a First Amendment of the grant agreement which allocated an additional $486 359 for the project $100,000 of which was dedicated for the construction of an elevator and on July 8th 2022 the parties entered a second amendment to allow the 100,000 that was dedicated to the elevator to be used for general purposes in total the nmc board has awarded $972,000 for the development of nilas with the consent of the nmc Reva now seeks to transfer its interest in the project to Sunshine State to complete the development of Nila and staff is recommending approval of this resolution okay any question from the board yes I have a few questions I'll see um first why is this happening so River Development is no longer going to be the developer on that project they are they've already transferred all of their interests over to Sunshine State so if they are no longer the develop um the developer the only way that the nmc is able to continue its Grant agreement is if sunshine state is able to um to assume that Grant agreement and that way we're able to complete our funding of the project for nofs cuz we still have about $81,000 left to pay out under the original Grant but since re development is no longer the developer the new developer which is sunshine state is the one who has to be able to assume the grant agreement to be able to access those funds so within the original agreement with [Music] Reva was was it open that he or she could have done this with our consent with the nmc's consent yes so your the grant agreements the majority of our Agreements are as with the consent of the nmc and they did seek consent before it happened but they had to there were a few steps that had to happen ahead of time so with our consent because we want to see the project completed without doing this noos does not get completed and so is this something that's common that a person originally attempts to do a project we approve the money for the project and then they stop halfway and then have to give it to someone else it is not common but in order to complete this project we do think that this is the best course of action okay going for forward is there anything that we can do to ensure that this doesn't happen unfortunately this was not anything on the agency's side um you know things happened with the developer they if a developer no longer wants to complete a project this was a few years in the making with the project so if a developer decides that the project is not something they are able to complete there's nothing that we can do to stop them I would also mention this was a piece of property I think the city owned and conveyed to the original developer Rea development um the city was also involved in this project in that respect there was some I think HUD money that was also um paid into the project and the City um consented already prior to us consenting to the assignment and Assumption of our grant agreement to the conveyance of the property to Sunshine State and that was done I believe in order to prevent the HUD money from having to be repaid to the federal government Al so there were there are several transactions that has happened correct and the and the developer who is the new developer was part of Reva development originally so she Linda Harris um was part of the Rea development with Don Patterson she um spun off her own company and she's taking over the development thank you yes is that all yes that's all okay anyone else have a question okay hearing none um I have a motion to approve Mo do I have a second second a motion has been made by Committee Member canant each a second was done by um Committee Member Naomi B okay all in favor say I I I opposed okay motion passes with

Battery um operated and also use a cellular network rather than Wi-Fi additionally all foot footage is uploaded to a cloud-based storage system which can be accessed from anywhere these Innovations make this important law enforcement tool much more affordable than it was before staff from the nmc and the nmpd have worked together regarding the recommended placement of cameras within the nmc boundaries at the following locations there is a very long list of locations that is in the memo but just to be clear this is going to be placed CRA wide and along Northwest 7th Avenue and staff is recommending approval of this resolution there is also a map for those who would like to you know see the visual um placement of the cameras okay um any questions I have a question um so um I'm assuming this is for safety reasons is this going to be ticketed or are we just monitoring or what are we monitoring purposes this is really just to um it's more of a commercial purpose to um address property concerns things like shoplifting and then also you have the um added benefit of if there's a crime happening in the area you're able to see the License Plate Reader and the camera take the information the police are able to then use that tool to then follow on their investigation me methods okay naom you had a question okay so it is a video or a picture it's video it's a camera system so they're able to capture camera okay and it's just catching every car that runs into that passes these locations yes in those specific geographical areas yes okay um a a a quick look at the internet on this particular item uh is proven a very effective crime prevention and crime solving as a matter of fact the gentleman who killed the young person and they found him several states away that was because of a reader they they they had a reader and they caught his car and they wound up catching him and you know so they knew where he was so they're very effective so um i' like to open up to the public any public comment okay none do I hear a motion to approve so mo i second a motion second all in favor say I opposed okay motion passes 60 okay a motion was made by Committee Member shaki Bronson marceles the second was made by board me uh Committee Member Kenneth E and the motion did pass with a six0 vote okay agenda item seven approval of loan selection committee recommendation okay pardon me staff is recommending is submitting for your review and approval one second the recommendation of the north Miami C executive director with regards to the evaluation committee results for request for proposals RFP 25- 23-24 bank loan for the north Miami community redevelopment agency nmc and to request the board's Authority for the CR the nmc executive director and nmc attorney to negotiate and finalize an agreement with the firm recommended by the committee RFP number 25-23 d24 was issued for the purpose of seeking proposals from interested firms to purchase from the nmc its Redevelopment Revenue note series 2024 for a not to exceed amount of $50 million in response to the solicitation the city opened and received a bid of one proposal from Morgan Stanley and Company LLC the evaluation committee reviewed the proposal and their recommendation subsequently submitted to the nmc director for approval the evaluation committee results were to approve the Morgan Stanley proposal and attach for your review is a proposal and a timeline um that is also the executive director's recommendation to approve the proposal for clarity there are a few options that can happen pursu to section 7-1 38 G1 of the city's procurement code there are a few options that can happen with the proposal either the proposal could have been approved and recomend by the recommendation of the committee and then sent submitted for approval by the board the recommendation could have been rejected by the executive director of The Selection committee or the recommendation could have been just to start all over by rejecting all proposals um the executive director's recommendation is to move forward with the Morgan Stanley proposal okay any questions from the board members have they shared the rate that's the I wasn't able to see that so it is a calculation and from the understanding that I've been provided when you do all of the calculation The Tick which is the truth in um I forget now what is tic truth in TI I is truth in truth in no no no no that's T I'll could Point basically the final um the overall percentage I think is 4.35% for the interest rate um so that is the cra's understanding of what it will be once all the calculations are done okay and then the the 50 million that is going to be received by the CRA how is it going to be spent is it going to go directly to outstanding grants that we have have already approved or is or a portion of it is going to go to outstanding grants and then new projects what's the scenario okay so first of all I do want to point your attention to page 20 of the attachments and you will see that there is a Debt Service refund um Reserve fund that is required by this lender which means it's only going to be 45 million that we have access to 5 million will be a part of The Debt Service um Reserve fund so the 45 million the CRA board is going to have to have a project listing of what they want included in the $45 million spend and so once that project listing has been provided then we'll be able to move forward um there is going to be potentially a mix of taxable and non- taxable projects of course if the the better is to have non-t taxable because then you get more of the money to be spent on the actual project rather than having to pay the taxes so depending on what of projects are on that sheet up to $45 million that's what we'll be able to do do you think um if possible West Dixie Highway would be included in this I am sure it will be a strong consideration of the board thank you okay anyone else have any questions this was the only lender that U that is correct and why why was that how did that um we know we have a guest I can you speak into the microphone so that she can my my question was this was the only lender that came forward out of the out of the big Banks Bank of America Morgan Stanley or yes Morgan Stanley's part of isn't that part of B Morgan Stanley is z lender but um yes I can't app as to and we did advertise absolutely yeah absolutely that's kind of interesting and and also just so you know with with the original deadline no proposals were received and we extended the deadline um to receive um this one proposal um if if You' in my opinion it's probably you know and I've been with the CRA for you know almost 20 years we we have no um history of borrowing in the past so it's probably some combination of no borrowing history and current market conditions yeah thank you a shocky know right yeah okay um bar no questions from the board uh open public here any public like to comment going once going twice okay can I have a motion to approve please so move second and a second a motion was made by um Committee Member Naomi blor a second was made by Committee Member Kenneth E okay all in favor say I I opposed okay motion passes 60 okay agenda item 8 approval of revised property disposal guidelines nmc staff is requesting that the nmc advisory committee recommend to the nmc board approval of the proposed real real properties disposal guidelines that specify the process by which the agency will dispose of properties within the the nmc boundaries the nmc currently owns three properties located at 1270 Northwest 123rd Street North Miami Florida 33167 1205 Northwest 11th Avenue and 975 Northwest 1 32nd Street North Miami Florida 33168 the nmc May sell lease or otherwise transfer the parcels for uses in accordance with the 2023 nmc Redevelopment Plan update and as such the nmcr staff is proposing guidelines pursuant to Florida Statutes 163 383a to facilitate the disposal of properties within its boundaries staff recommends approval of the proposed guidelines okay um any questions from the board yes I do have a question um and it's specifically I mean I know you're focus on property within the C guidelines you're I know you are focused with properties that are only within the CRA guidelines gu or the boundaries boundaries Excuse me yes within the boundary yes yes however I um I also sit on the um housing board and there was a conversation proposal made on creating a trust for all properties or all assets that the city holds and we have not heard anything about that so going forward or is is that something that you're aware of that we're go or are not aware of I was not aware of that no is that something that we can have a conversation around because obviously you're bringing this because there's opportunity there right corre but we also have based on the research that was done there's several hundreds of properties that the assets that the city holes that the public is unaware of so the CRA would own I mean and again this is the first time I'm hearing about this so I would have to understand that process a little bit more however the CRA would only be able to participate to the extent that there are within properties within the boundaries and ones that we own right now these are the only three that are within the CRA BR that we own that the C owns any other properties within the C boundaries are have other owners and so I'm not sure what that conversation would look like and what that partnership could look like but it's you know something that I can start researching and looking into okay and then my next question is do you have it some idea of what you're looking to do with these three properties this um this is just to propose guidelines the board with the three properties that we have have options the board could choose to say we will put out a notice pursuant to these guidelines where we would solicit proposals from the public to you know redevelop these properties according to the Redevelopment plan that we haveh or the board could say for and this applies to one or all of the properties the de the decision doesn't have to apply to all the things right so the board could also say that CRA could redevelop these properties it just depends on what the board would like to do however at the point that the C is looking to transfer its ownership to another party the notice of 163 the 163 notice would have to go out person into these guidelines thank you okay any other questions from the board yeah good good uh the point allocation can you explain the city of North Miami resident allocation and the city of North Miami North Miami C employee is that is the allocation of the points to have members as part of the development team or so this is the guidelines that you have before you are revised guidelines of an existing structure that was already in place what we chose to do was that existing guideline um that was um already in place already had the notice Incorporated with dates and things of that nature that had already passed so in doing this revision I removed anything that was time specific and made this a very general guideline process but this was a point allocation that was already approved by the board in the past and I did keep it in just because it was already prior approved at this juncture if the um board chooses is to remove the the evaluation criteria then that is also something that the board could choose to do I believe at the time that this was done there was a preference that was um the desire was to have a preference for somebody who either lived within the boundaries or the city of Miami or worked within the boundaries or the city of North Miami to be able to have an opportunity at these properties and so that's why that preference was incorporated with into the point allocation okay the pro go ahead the properties are residential there are two residential well they're all zoned residential are two there are two structures and one vacant lot okay all right with regards to the the the city disposing of city property it's in the land use believe and we go out to three I think three three bids or three evaluations on the property and I think we uh we position is this 9 0% of the highest if I'm not mistaken might here on the right was that we just did one on the the heck was that 123rd 123rd and six Parish right right I think that's a little bit different than what we're looking at over here yeah you know it's different it's it's a different set of statutes so the cras are governed by part three of Section 163 there's a specific statute which the ex itive director referred to 163 380 subsection 3A which governs the disposition of um real property within the CRA and if it's for redevelopment purposes it doesn't matter whether it's owned by the CRA the city or the county each of those entities would have to follow that particular um process if it's for redevelopment purposes if the city's selling it for some other purpose obviously they don't have to follow Section 163 380 okay any other comments okay uh open to the public any public comment okay good evening board members Kevin Burns 265 Alamanda drive this uh question is directed to the uh CRA attorney um is the CRA allowed to develop the properties on their own and hire an outside contractor as opposed to letting a uh putting it out for bid um because I've read that in some parts of Florida uh cras have run into problems where they've given somebody property given them grants we just had this earlier project didn't get completed that the CRA is are actually developing the property and then making it available to uh the need the the different recipients is that um allowed and at one time I thought we had that conversation at the beginning of the CRA that that uh the city would actually develop um some housing and then dispose of it to a uh an entity that would manage it and and run it or own it um I don't know if that is still the the current law that the CRA itself could be the developer Mr chairman you want me to respond to uh Mr Burns um yes certainly the CR if the uh Redevelopment plan provides that the CRA can develop its own affordable housing which it does um the CRA could develop these Lots probably for affordable housing and then convey them sell them they'd have to go through the same process to sell the completed lot as they would to sell the um vacant lot or the lot with the house on it now it's still the same process um but certainly and there's other cras for which I'm the general counsil that have similar type of lots they get lots like these from the county um when they EST cheat to the county for payment and not you know property taxes um and they develop them they build single family homes and then they hire a broker and they sell the homes um so it's it all depends upon what the board's discretion is and what they want to do when it comes to the uh the properties themselves I mean in in any event um uh to address your question about you know issues with projects getting done and not done I mean we would certainly be putting a declaration of restrictions on the property that limits the use and the development of that property for a specific project and if it's not completed within a certain amount of time um there would be a rever right so that the property would come back to the CRA thank you for that um I would just recommend to the board to seriously consider actually um taking control of the property that you already own and think of a process to actually uh develop it um as a CRA board and then once the project is completed you can decide um whether you want to hold on it and put it into the housing stock or to go ahead and uh make it available for uh somebody first-time home buyer whatever the numerous programs that are out there um it it might be an interesting thing especially these are small properties we're not talking about developing a uh 55 unit building we're talking about single family homes and and so forth but again just something for uh your consideration thank you thank you Steve you're welcome okay to the executive director um with the mayor Burn's comment you want to reconsider this or what is your thought or continue as as planned so these are just the guidelines this is not making a decision as to how these properties are going to be dealt with these are just the guidelines so the guidelines can be approved and then the board can still make a decision either that the CRA redevelops them or that they are disposed of prior to any CRA development okay very good um yes you know two former mayor burn point I think that with where we are as a county as it relates to affordable housing and where we are as a city um I I I believe it would be in the best interest of the CRA to hold on to its property and develop itself it on its own and then move forward with making it accessible to those that are in need in our city um I am ex I am against giving projects to people and they're not able to complete them and then we have to turn around and then there's kind of like switch and bait kind of thing going on and so in order for us to ensure that that doesn't happen or that we decrease the possibilities of that happening if we have the means to we should do the work ourselves and make it accessible directly accessible to those that that need it I 100% agree it and so I know this is just a process that you're putting in place so that if and when you want to go down that route the process exists but I would also recommend that after when that time comes that we look at developing these this uh two properties and the land ourselves for what the city needs understood okay um okay allocation points determine that you can make a recommendation to the board to either keep this allocation app point system or to do something different okay um going back to the topic brought up by the mayor um does staff have the resources and the Staffing to develop projects on their own what does that look like I guess so an allocation of funds would funds would have to be identified to be able to do the development however no the staff would not we'd have to contract with a developer in order to be able to do the work or general contractor things we could be the developer but get the general contractor and things of that nature um to get that work done but I guess do you have the resources to do that be a developer within the CRA or have the resources available we don't have an unstaffed General um contractor however we could that could be sourced well not not the construction side the actual management of the development because there's the developer manager then there general contractor we I understand the fact that you would have to hire a general contractor asking is I think because yes I think to your question that I now understand better given the size of the project I believe that we would be able to manage it in house okay thank you okay any other questions okay do I hear a motion to approve so move second and a second all in favor say I I I oppose okay passes 60 a motion was made by Committee Member naming b a second was made by Committee Member Blanca Kobo and the motion passed with a 60 vote okay all right um SI attorney report no report tonight sir okay anything else um so we do have our monthly staff report that which is has already been distributed to you so I don't know if you want to take a chance to look through it if you have questions on the report we are available for answers okay okay um while people are taking a think on that any public comment okay going once going twice okay anyone have any particular comments on the U staff report so I just have a few questions where it says project completed and there is a balance how long will it be before those payments are made um it's usually because the grantee has not submitted a final payment or final reimbursement request we're usually waiting on the grantee oh so even if it says completed there's some things that they still have not submitted to you as of yet yes depends on the grantee if they submit their um uh Co and CU um then the project is deemed complete we just usually wait on them to submit the final reimbursement request excellent and then where it says resent re ended if the grant is rescinded it just goes back into the pool yes that is correct have we had any grants rended staff M yes it's a beautification and that was on the grantees request what uh the granty requested that we the grant was resed okay all right um well before we go the residential rehabs are the can you kind of give an overview of what those are uh the residential rehabs this is just well it's different from the commercial um so once the granty applies I don't know if you want me to talk about home owner who applies yes it's a beautification for the homeowner excellent and then if it says exterior that means there's nothing going on for the residential we only do exterior un we
