Vice Chair Kelley: Is that based on a continuation of a time frame?
Mr. Gay: That was determined on what we averaged over the last couple years. We have done
our audits with the City. It's just a budgeted amount.
21 Page
Vice Chair Kelley: on page 21 for two audits for $2500 each. Basically at this point we are just
putting it out there that's what you are saying?
Mr. Gay: That's correct.
Vice Chair Kelley: Could you clarify the park amenities.
Mr. Gay: I had my staff to go out to seek some pricing. We have some figures from different
companies. If the board wishes to fund the top lock. There are three within the CRA. This is also
listed within the CRA masterplan.
Board Member Bass: Did he say three tot lots?
Mr. Gay: Yes there are three.
Board Member Pigatt: We have raised money in the past for tot lots. This is needed and we
need to do the basic infrastructure. I hope we invest the funds in the surrounding infrastructure.
There are a lot of people that want to invest with us. We just have to do our part. If we are going
to allocate funds it should be towards the infrastructure of the parks.
Board Member Burke: I concur with Board Member Pigatt. We need to take care of our kids
and if the money is available I think we should invest the funds towards the covering of the tot
lots is a good idea because it gets really hot in South Florida.
Board Member Bass: The Park behind the fish market is filthy. Is there any way that park can
be included into the beautification to bring it more vibrant?
Chairwoman Russell: That is a garden. It was named after Ms. Coachman. Does the City
maintain that area?
Vice Chair Kelley: That's a garden and the City does cut it but it is not one of those areas where
we put a lot of investments into. I don't know if that fits in the CRA area.
Mr. Gay: It's not within the CRA boundaries.
Board Member Davis: In the past just doing something on a basis we look at beautification
more often. We want our parks to look more presentable. The parks serve as the face for our
City. Board Member Bass brought up an excellent point with Beautification.
Board Member Pigatt: If the CRA can assist I would love that to ensure that the areas are
maintained. We need to address this and it needs to be done.
Board Member Bass: I'm in the process of organizing a cleanup date in that area. Further
information will be coming forth.
Chairwoman Russell: Mr. Gay can you please have staff to take notes on everyone suggestion.
I also have a question in the audits you have two figures. Is that for two separate audits or that is
for two years?
Mr. Gay: Our budget is being presented for each annual year. We are looking to have an
external auditing source. This has not been determined as of yet. Mr. Anathan has been assisting
and we wilt have him be a part of that presentation.
31 Page
Board Member Tydus: In reference to the parks and maintenance. It's really an administrative
responsibility. We want to make sure that the Public Works have enough staff to keep up the
maintenance that is necessary.
Chairwoman Russell: Is the Butterfly garden within the CRA boundaries?
Mr. Gay: The Butterfly garden is within the CRA boundaries.
Vice Chairman Kelley moved to approve the item for discussion and Board Member Chris Davis

112. A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE OPA-
LOCKA REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY, WITH ATTACHMENTS
APPROVING THE TRANSFER OF $345,000.00 FROM THE
COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY'S GENERAL OPERATING
AND TAX INCREMENT FUND BUDGET TO THE CITY OF OPA-
LOCKA'S WATER SEWER FUND AS A REIMBURSEMENT OF FUNDS
THE OPA-LOCKA COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY
RECEIVED BETWEEN FY 13-15 FOR THE OPERATION OF THE OPA-
LOCKA COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY, AND DIRECTING
THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR TO EXECUTE THE TRANSFER;
PROVIDING FOR INCORPORATION OF RECITALS; PROVIDING A
SEVERABILITY CLAUSE; PROVIDING A CONFLICT AND REPEALER
CLAUSE; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Vice Chair Kelley: When this transfer is made the CRA won't owe the City any
more money?
Mr. Gay: That's correct. The CRA won't owe the City any more money.
4I Page
Board Member Bass: Will the City owe the CRA any money?
Chairwoman Russell: When the finance department go through the budget that
is going to be a part of their presentation. A portion of the city budget every
year through the tax base goes to the CRA yearly. I think we need to get to the
budget and that will answer any questions we may have.
Mr. Gay: We've been working through this process for about 6-7 months. In
your packages there is a report provided by the finance department in
relationship to where the dollars are programmed. Our finance director Ms. Gerri
Lazarre stated that there is $566,000.00 which is TIFF dollars. There have been
transfers within the last two -three years. This is just the CRA first move to
reimburse the City. The City of Opa-locka will be making a transfer to the CRA
and this will be separate and apart. In this upcoming budget year. The City is to
pay $712,000.00 in TIFF dollars to the CRA. The County will be paying
$335,000.00. We will be working through this the next few months.
Chairwoman Russell: Once the finance department do their presentation this
will answer a lot of our questions.
Board Member Davis: When can we expect that presentation?
Chairwoman Russell: It was supposed to be a part of this meeting. I think it
was an error. We really need a finance director to go through it.
Board Member Davis: I rather have a presentation before voting on this item
but this is my opinion but I' 11 let my colleagues make a suggestion.
Vice Chair Kelley: I concur. I would rather here the presentation before the
vote.
Mr. Gay: We do have Mr. Anathan and Ms. Lazarre on the line if you all need
more clarification.
Ms. Lazarre: We looked at the activities of the CRA from 2012 to 2018. We
went back and looked at all of the revenue that was generated. We came up with
a total and looked at all of the expenses. There were some transfer from the
general side and there were some transfer from the sewer side. We back out the
total expenses. There were some discussions with the CRA Director as well as
looking at the prior budget. There is enough money as well to pay back the water
and sewer. This concludes my presentation.
Board Member Davis: on the CRA side we have enough funds in our reserve
to manage any debt?
Ms. Lazarre: Yes we do. There are enough TIFF funds.
