“Thank you. Here's what I see. There's about 150 projects in Miami-Dade County right now. I believe about half of them will be successful. I mean, the competition is difficult. Market conditions are not as easy. And if they realize it on a paper is one thing, then realizing it in the actual market when you have to go out and achieve these prices for these condos. So My fear is that by making things too difficult for our projects to succeed is short-sighted. We want these projects here to give us not $90,000 now or even a million dollars now. We want these projects here so that we can have a…”

“You know, I don't think it's in the best interest of the village to do anything more than the proposed schedule. That would be my take on it.”

“I just would like to understand what the comps are. It's like 60,000 per TDR, I think.”

“I mean, it's better to sell for, keep them out where they are so that they'll actually sell and we can raise money.”

“As a last comment on the TDR, right? So this gives you an extra density unit to sell. It doesn't actually give you more square footage to sell unless you go from the 240 to the 312, which the TDRs allows. So at some point, it's going to say, I'm not going to pay $300,000 for another unit. I'll just build bigger units and not pay anything.”

“I like the proposed schedule. I think it's a high increase. I think we're asking our developers a lot. And we often in North Bay Village listen to our residents make them out to be the billion of our community. But they're literally investing a lot of money with a lot of risk into extremely difficult conditions. So...”

“Yeah, I think you guys, the three of you in the middle, have the ability to move that forward. I mean, I like the proposed schedule.”

“Yeah, so that's what I mean. I like the proposed schedule, Vice Mayor. You know, so I think if you want some increase to take the mayor's lead would be what I think is something you guys can do. Okay, all right, I'll support the compromise.”

“Why wouldn't we just keep out an open RFP for invitations to purchase these TDRs?”

“I mean, I don't see a negative of just inviting them to push. I mean, we want to sell the TDRs. We could, whenever anybody wants to buy them, I mean,”
