C City Manager SUBJECT: FOUR(4)RESOLUTIONS AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND CITY CLERK TO EXECUTE FOUR (4) INDIVIDUAL AGREEMENTS UNDER THE CITY'S HOME INVESTMENT PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM WITH FUNDS RECEIVED FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF HOUSING AND URBAN DEVELOPMENT (HUD). ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission approve the attached four Resolutions and the related agreements necessary to undertake and implement HOME funded affordable housing activities: * Affordable Landmarks, Inc. - $1,250,000 for a new construction, affordable condominium homeownership program. * Miami Beach Development Corporation - $458,350 for family rental housing and/or housing for persons with special needs. * Miami Beach Development Corporation - $250,000 for a scattered site, first- time homebuyer program. * Miami Beach Development Corporation - $90,000 for operating expenses relative to Community Housing Development Organization (CHDO)-eligible activities. BACKGROUND: The HOME Program is designed to expand the supply of decent and affordable housing for low and moderate income residents. This program encourages the creation of partnerships between government and the private seL'or, including for-profit and non-profit corporations to construct, rehabilitate or manage affordable housing. As an entitlement recipient of these funds, the City has received a total of $3,055,000; of which $1,846,000 is from FY '92, and $1,209,000 from FY'93. On May 7, 1993, the City notified the pt:L!ic of the availability of HOME funds. The Administration has examined the five resport:es received and is now recommending that HOME funds be allotted for four (4) affordable housing activities at this time. An overview of the four proposals is contained in the Analysis section of this memorandum. With respect to the fifth proposal, a tenant-based rental assistance program, the Admin stration has identified and applied for a more appropriate source of funding. The g applicant, Legal Services of Greater Miami, Inc., requested $500,000 in HOME funds to provide rental assistance payments to low- and very low-income persons for a period of up to 24 months. AGENDA R_ri _ ITEM DATE as- 73 1 1 • COMMISSION MEMO JULY 28, 1993 PAGE 2 This project was reviewed by the City's Loan Review Committee (LRC). The LRC, a five member committee appointed by the City Commission which includes private lenders, did not recommend funding for this proposal under the HOME program. While both the Administration and the LRC recognized that tenant-based rental assistance is needed, an alternate source of funding was identified by the City. As a result, the City prepared and submitted a proposal to the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation for consideration on the December funding agenda. The grant request specifically addresses those needs cited in the tenant-based rental assistance proposal submitted by Legal Services, and offers an opportunity to assist low and very low income persons who are adversely affected by gentrification. The Administration will diligently pursue all avenues necessary to encourage funding of this grant request by the Knight Foundation. The City has been advised by HUD that all agreements for HOME funded projects must stipulate the date that the project will become operational, be substantially complete, and funds totally expended. As a general rule, fiscal prudence dictates that the term of agreement not normally exceed a two year period. This time frame is dictated on the premise that HOME funds must, by statute, be committed by the City within 24 months of grant award, and must be expended within five (5)years. Since all HOME funds are subject to recapture by HUD if not totally expended within the five year period, the agreements are designed to ensure project completion well in advance of this deadline. As a result, the City can monitor and evaluate the progress of each activity to ensure that performance standards are met,and funds expended within the HUD-prescribed time frame. Therefore, in the event that a provider is unable to carry out an activity, the City can use those funds for another affordable housing project. 1 ANALYSIS: AFFORDABLE LANDMARKS, INC. New Construction-Homeownership $1,250,000 Affordable Landmarks, Inc. ("Affordable") is a Miami Beach based firm specializing in the development, acquisition, rehabilitation, construction and management of multi-family properties. Affordable is a Florida corporation which is 100% owned by Robert F. Saland. (Mr. Saland's resume is attached.) Affordable has acquired, developed, sponsored, and/or managed over 500 dwelling units valued in excess of $25 million, and has undertaker, significant commercial and land development. The company presently focuses on development, and specializes in rehabilitation of historic structures, as well as condominium conversions. Affordable has extensive experience in such federal, state and local funding programs as the City's Interest Subsidy Program; CDBG Matching Grant Program; Florida State Apartment Incentive Loan Program (SAIL); State of Florida Tax Exempt Bond Program; and the Federal Low income Housing Tax Credit Program. To date, Affordable has invested over $23 Million in Miami Beach properties, $3 Million of which were received from these programs.This combination of private and public dollars represents a significant investment in the construction or rehabilitation of affordable housing for Miami Beach residents. The proposed $7.5 million project, Bayview Plaza Condominiums, will be located two blocks west of Alton Road, at 14th Street. The building will be new construction containing approximately 100 units. The first three levels will provide the parking required for the condominium units. This building will offer one and two bedroom units, and will include a pool and fitness center as well as standard amenities. • • COMMISSION MEMO JULY 28, 1993 PAGE 3 Affordable will provide $6,250,000 in private funds to match the public HOME monies totalling $1,250,000. Once completed, this public/private partnership between the City and the developer will increase the City's tax base and provide much needed newly constructed units in the heart of South Beach. Affordable will set aside twenty-five to thirty of the units for buyers earning 80% or less of the median area income. These units can only be set aside and made affordable in this new building through the infusion of HOME funds. The total $1,250,000 will eventually be returned to the City for use in other affordable housing activities, since buyers will be required to execute deed restrictions which stipulate that at the time of resale, the initial HOME investment will be repaid in accordance with all applicable federal regulations. This project has been reviewed by, and recommended for funding by the City's Loan Review Committee. MIAMI BEACH DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION CHDO Set-aside (FY '92 and '93) $458,350 Under HOME rules, not less than 15% of the total annual allocation of funds must be reserved for investment in housing to be developed, sponsored, or owned by Community Housing Development Organizations (CHDO). The Mayor and City Commission recently designated MBDC as a CHDO. As a result, MBDC is eligible to receive a total of $458,350; of which $277,000 is from the FY '92 HOME program allocation, and $181,350 is from FY '93. These funds must now be reserved for investment by MBDC in CHDO-eligible acquisition, construction, and rehabilitation activities which promote affordable rental or ownership housing. MBDC is proposing to undertake the following activities with its CHDO set-asides: Family Rental Housing: MBDC will acquire, rehabilitate and/or re-configure existing buildings to make them suitable for rental family housing. Through this activity, MBDC will continue to work in cooperation with the FIU Institute on Children and Families at Risk and with the RAIN Mothers at Fisher-Feinberg Elementary School in order to provide affordable housing opportunities for 12 families otherwise threatened by gentrification of this South Beach neighborhood. Housing for Special Needs Populations: MBDC has identified the need for increased housing opportunities for persons with special needs. Rental projects will be developed in concert with other community-base, 1ealth and social service organizations to provide housing for persons living with AIDS, persons with physical and mental disabilities, and elderly persons. As a current Community Development Brock Grant (CDBG) funded sub-recipient, MBDC has demonstrated the capacity to undertake affordable housing programs, more specifically the very successful scattered site condominium?homeownership program which has leveraged substantial Dade County Surtax funds. Additionally, MBDC, in conjunction with the People With Aids Coalition, was awarded $1,275,000 in Section 811 funds to acquire and rehabilitate housing for persons with disabilities. • COMMISSION MEMO JULY 28, 1993 PAGE 4 MIAMI BEACH DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION Scattered Site First-time Homebuyers Program $250,000 As a sub-recipient, MBDC will use HOME funds to provide incentives for affordable homeownership to first-time homebuyers for the purchase of housing which may also include necessary rehabilitation. These incentives may be in the form of grants or loans. Implementation of this HOME-assisted first-time homebuyers program is intended to complement and extend the existing scattered site condominium program administered by MBDC through CDBG and Metro-Dade County Documentary Surtax Program funds. MBDC is proposing to utilize HOME funds in one of the following two ways: 1. Provide advantageous second mortgages to enable participants currently qualified by MBDC to purchase units during the fiscal year in which Documentary Surtax funds have been fully expended. 2. Provide grants or third mortgages to cover closing costs, rehabilitation costs, or purchase buydowns, thus allowing a wider range of residents to qualify. The program enables low and moderate income persons who can demonstrate stable employment and who have adequate credit history to acquire one, two or three bedroom homes, townhouses or condominium units. This project has been reviewed by, and recommended for funding by the City's Loan Review Committee. MBDC will also provide homeownership counseling, which may include the following services: - counseling before and after the purchase of the property; - assisting first-time homebuyers in identifying suitable and affordable properties; - providing homebuyers with financial management assistance; - assisting homebuyers in understanding mortgage transactions and home sales contracts; and - assisting homebuyers with eliminating credit problems that may prevent them from qualifying for financing. MBDC will administer the first-time homebuyer program in accordance with all HOME legislative and regulatory requirements, including affordability requirements, investment limits and targeted income of recipients. The Administration will review and approve each individual real estate transaction prior to disbursement of funds to insure compliance with applicable HOME regulations. Additionally, the Metro-Dade County Office of Special Housing Services will provide technical assistance to MBDC in loan underwriting, and will service loans generated hereunder. As previously indicated, MBDC is a City of Miami Beach CDBG sub-recipient and in that capacity, currently operates a scattered site. 7.ondominium project. MIAMI BEACH DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION Operating Expenses for CHDO Eligible Activities $90,000 Up to 5% of the City's allocation of HOME funds may be utilized to provide operating support for a qualified CHDO. MBDC is requesting funds in the amount of$90,000 to offset the following CHDO-related operating expenses: COMMISSION MEMO JULY 28, 1993 PAGE 5 - maintaining its eligibility as a qualifying CHDO; - eliciting input from the community, particularly from low-incomeP gro ram beneficiaries, in decisions regarding design, siting, development, and management of affordable housing projects; - undertaking the development of appropriate affordable housing strategies ies and programs; - developing project-specific plans to implement such programs; - identifying additional funding resources available to implement housing initiatives, atives, including grant resources, mortgages and other funding; and - planning and developing affordable housing projects for such P people with special P needs as large families and persons with disabilities. The Administration received the budget from MBDC on July 20th after the close of business and is still in the process of reviewing it for conformity with HUDgu idelines. The Administration is therefore requesting that the Mayor and City Commission approve the attached agreement with the budget that was received by the City and approve same subject to further review. In the event e t that any item in the attached budget is not in conformity with HUD guidelines, a revised budget will be brought to the City Manager or his designee for approval as an amendment to the attached agreement. CONCLUSION: We recommend adoption of the attached four Resolutions and the related agreements. Funds for each of the projects are available from the grants received under the HOME Investment Partnership Program. it is essential that these agreements be approved at this PP Commission meeting so that construction will not be delayed and so that the scattered site home ownership program can continue with minimal interruption.

SECTION XIII: LIMITATION OF LIABILITY The City desires to enter into this Agreement only if in so doing the City can place a limit on City's liability for any cause of action for money damages due to an alleged breach by the City of this agreement, so that its liability for any such breach never exceeds the sum of $250,000. Provider hereby expresses its willingness to enter into this Agreement with Provider's recovery from the City for any damage action for breach of contract to be limited to a maximum amount of $250,000, less the amount of all funds actually paid by the City to Provider pursuant to this Agreement. Accordingly, Provider hereby agrees that the City shall not be liable to Provider for damages in an amount in excess of $250,000 which amount shall be reduced by the amount of the funding actually paid by the City to Provider pursuant to this agreement, for any action or claim for breach of contract arising out of the performance or nonperformance of any obligations imposed upon the City by this Agreement. Nothing contained in this subparagraph or elsewhere in this Agreement is in any way intended to be a waiver of the limitation placed upon City's liability as set forth in Florida Statutes, Section 768.28. SECTION XIV: ARBITRATION Any controversy or claim for money damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach hereof, shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the Commercial 16 Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association, and the arbitration award shall be final and binding upon the parties hereto and subject to no appeal, and shall deal with the question of the costs of arbitration and all matters related thereto. In that regard, the parties shall mutually select one arbitrator, but to the extent the parties cannot agree upon the arbitrator,then the American Arbitration Association shall appoint one. Judgment upon the award rendered may be entered into any court having jurisdiction, or application may be made to such court for an order of enforcement. Any controversy or claim other than a controversy or claim for money damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach hereof, including any controversy or claim relating to the right to specific performance, shall be settled by litigation and not arbitration. SECTION XV: WAIVER No waiver by City at any time of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement shall be deemed at any time thereafter a waiver of the same of any other terms or conditions herein.
