The NSP1 application included an allocation of $2,376,181.53 to the Miami Beach Community Development Corporation (MBCDC) to purchase and renovate the Madeleine Apartments; MBCDC entered into an NSP1 Agreement with the City, on January 27, 2010, in the amount of $2,376,181.53 to secure the funding allocation.

However, as funding allocations were awarded to MBCDC, a not for profit Florida corporation, prior to the acquisition and creation of the LLC, an assignment of the January 27, 2010, NSP1 Agreement from MBCDC, to MBCDC Madeleine Village, LLC, is necessary to ensure the City is contracting directly with the legal owner of the property in question.

ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION Adopt the Resolution. BACKGROUND On March 18, 2009 the City Commission approved Resolution 2009-27039 approving The City's application for Neighborhood Stabilization Program 1 (NSP1) funds, in the amount of $2,549,551, to purchase and rehabilitate, as necessary, one or more foreclosed or abandoned multi-family buildings in the City of Miami Beach (as determined by the City's greatest need). These buildings, once acquired are to be made available as rental properties for income qualified households in accordance with NSP1 rules, as promulgated by the Florida Department of Community Affairs and the United Stated Department Housing and Urban Development. MBCDC/Made/eine Apartments Assignment March 10, 2010 Page 2 Following a competitive process, on September 9, 2009, the City Commission approved the selection of MBCDC as the project sponsor to acquire, rehabilitate, and rent a 16-unit building at 7871 Crespi Boulevard, Miami Beach, for income-eligible persons. A contract for NSP1 funding was executed between the City and the State of Florida's Department of Community Affairs on September 30, 2009; a contract to allocate the funding forthe eligible projectwas executed between the City and MBCDC on January 27, 2010. MBCDC closed the acquisition transaction on January 29, 2010. As is customary for every project MBCDC develops, and similarly typical for many affordable housing projects, a separate ownership entity was created. In the case of The Madeleine Apartments, MBCDC Madeleine Village, LLC, a Florida not-for-profit limited liability company, was created to own the property. However, as funding allocations had been awarded to MBCDC, (which is the sole member of MBCDC Madeleine Village, LLC), an assignment of the January 27, 2010, NSP1 Agreement from MBCDC, Inc. to MBCDC Madeleine Village, LLC, is necessary. Furthermore, following the closing, MBCDC and the Administration agreed to extend the Affordability Period from fifteen (15) years (as required by the State of Florida) to thirty (30) years, and to add a reverter clause ensuring that, if the property is not kept as affordable housing during the Affordability Period, title will revert to the City of Miami Beach. ANALYSIS A one-time assignment of the January 27, 2010 Agreement from MBCDC to MBCDC Madeleine Village, LLC, as well as amendments to the NSP1 Agreement and Mortgage (and other Loan Documents), are necessary in order to ensure the City is contracting directly with the legal owner of the property in question. Furthermore, while the State NSP1 rule requires a minimum affordability period of fifteen (15) years, the City and MBCDC have agreed to extend the affordability period to thirty (30) years. Therefore, the extension of the Affordability Period will also be memorialized in the Mortgage and other Loan Documents, and a provision will be added to the documents so that ownership of the property will revert to the City in the event the property is not used as affordable housing during the Affordability Period. CONCLUSION The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission of the City of Miami Beach, Florida, approve and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Neighborhood Stabilization Program 1 (NSP1) Agreement, dated January 27, 2010, between the City and Miami Beach Community Development Corporation (MBCDC), allowing aone-time-only assignment in the ownership of the Madeleine Apartments, located at 7871-7861 Crespi Boulevard from MBCDC to MBCDC: Madeleine Village, LLC, a limited liability corporation whose sole member (agent) is MBCDC. It is also recommended that the Commission approve and authorize an amendment to increase the Affordability Period from fifteen (15) years to thirty (30) years, and adding a reverter clause in favor of the City, to ensure that the property remains as affordable housing during the Affordability Period. JMG/HMF/AP/rs T:WGENDA\2010\March 10\Consent\Madeleine Assignment Memo.doc WHEREAS, MBCDC has subsequently created anot-for-profit entity, MBCDC Madeleine Village, LLC, which, as the intended owner of the Property, is the successor in interest to MBCDC (and has assumed all interest and title to the Property); and WHEREAS, MBCDC is the sole member (agent) of MBCDC Madeleine Village, LLC; and WHEREAS, accordingly, the Administration hereby recommends that the City Commission approve and authorize the Administration and the City Attorney's Office to prepare, respectively, an amendment to the existing NSP1 Agreement with MBCDC, as well as the Mortgage and Security Agreement (and other Loan Documents as required) relative to the acquisition and renovation of the Property, providing for the following: 1. an assignment of the January 27, 2010 NSP1 Agreement from MBCDC to MBCDC Madeleine Village, LLC; 2. changing the Affordability Period from fifteen (15), to thirty (30) years; and 3. including a reverter clause ensuring that the Property remain as affordable housing during the Affordability Period, or ownership reverts to the City.
