Southeast Overtown/Park West Community Redevelopment Agency - Regular Meeting

Okay.

okay okay we've got a few minutes we're waiting for another commissioner because we have some four fifth items and we don't have enough we don't have a quorum for that

Madam Chair, if you wish to take those items that are not forfeits, improve those until the fourth commission member comes in. We can do it that way if you choose to.

Well, let's start the meeting then. Good afternoon, everybody. Welcome to the Southeast Overtown Park West CRA meeting for November 20th, 2025. I'm joined by my colleagues, Commissioner Damian Pardo, Chair of the Omni CRA, Commissioner Rosado, Chair of the DDA, and myself, Christine King, Chair of the Southeast Overtown Park West CRA. I'm joined by the Executive Director, Mr. James D. McQueen, and the Deputy Executive Director, Attorney Vincent T. Brown, and our ever-so-present and pleasant City Attorney, Mrs. Gibbs Sorey.

Good afternoon, Madam Chair.

We have four items that will now be read into the record by Mr. Brown.

Madam Chair, the first item is a resolution with attachments rescinding CRA Resolution 25-0061, a lease to the black police precinct and authorizing a revocable license agreement for use of the Southeast Overtown Park West property located at 480 Northwest 11th Street, Miami, Florida, 33136. Item number two is a resolution establishing an emergency rental program authorizing the allocation of funds in the amount of $500,000 for fiscal year 2526. Item number three is a resolution accepting the committee's recommendation for the top-ranked proposer, RFP 25-07, external audit. That item shall be amended to insert Richie Tandock, PA, as the top-ranked proposer for transparency purposes. There was a minor deviation in the scoring sheet that resulted in a harmless error in the scoring. Nonetheless, the top-ranked proposer still would have been Richie Tandock, PA.

Thank you. At this time, I'm going to...
