READY TO GO. OKAY, LET'S CALL THIS MEETING TO ORDER.
[CALL TO ORDER]
[00:00:04]
THIS IS THE REGULAR MEETING.2020 306 OF THE COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT ADVISORY BOARD FOR THE CITY OF PALM BAY.
SO FIRST, WE'LL HAVE THE ROLL CALL.
ELENA. MISS TABOR, MR. WILLIAMS PRESENT.
HERZL. MR. JOHNSON. MR. MORAN. MISS WALKER.
IT'S RIGHT. BOARD ATTORNEY RODNEY EDWARDS.
[ADOPTION OF MINUTES]
SO NEXT, WE HAVE ADOPTION OF THE MINUTES OF THE REGULAR MEETING, 20 2304, WHICH WAS ON APRIL 19TH, 2023.ANY COMMENTS FROM THE BOARD OR ENTERTAIN A MOTION? I SECOND IT. WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND.
AND I VOTE I IN THAT MOTION PASSES.
NEXT WE HAVE PUBLIC COMMENTS ON NON AGENDA ITEMS. I BELIEVE THEY'RE HERE FOR PRESENTATIONS SO I'M SEEING NONE ON THAT.
[NEW BUSINESS]
OKAY. THANK YOU VERY MUCH.SO WE'LL START OFF WITH COMMUNITY OF HOPE.
WE HAVE MISS ROSA DOING THE PRESENTATION.
HOW ARE YOU? ALL RIGHT. WELL, THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY.
I'M A CONSULTANT WITH VILA CONSULT.
I'M HERE TO REPRESENT COMMUNITY OF HOPE ON BEHALF OF DREW WARREN.
SO BUT WE WANT TO DO IS SPEND JUST A FEW MINUTES TO TALK WHAT IS THE COMMUNITY LAND TRUST? I WAS GOING TO ASK YOU IF YOU COULD TOUCH ON THAT WHILE YOU WERE HERE, AND THAT'S A GOOD PART OF PART OF MY SLIDE.
IT IS A QUICK SLIDE AND I WANTED TO JUST START THE DIALOG ON WHAT A CLT IS BECAUSE WE HOPE TO BE IN FRONT OF YOU WITH ANOTHER PROPOSAL FOR A COMMUNITY LAND TRUST, BECAUSE WE BELIEVE, ESPECIALLY PALM BAY, WITH ITS GROWTH AND WHAT'S GOING ON HERE AND THE OPPORTUNITIES THERE ARE NO CLTS IN THIS PART OF THE STATE.
THERE'S ABOUT 30 OF THEM IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA.
ONLY SEVEN OF THEM ARE ACTUALLY CERTIFIED THROUGH THE FLORIDA HOUSING COURT.
I CAN'T EVEN SPEAK TONIGHT COALITION AND WE PLAN TO BE NUMBER EIGHT.
WE'RE JUST JUST SHY OF A COUPLE OF DOCUMENTS TO FINISH THAT APPLICATION, MR. DREW. WARREN, THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, HAS BEEN WORKING ON THIS FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS.
SO WE'RE GOING TO GO AHEAD AND JUST TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT IS WELL, FIRST OF ALL, COMMUNITY REAL BRIEFLY, THEY'VE BEEN HOUSING HOMELESS FAMILIES FOR SEVERAL YEARS.
THEY BECAME INCORPORATED IN 2005.
SO I WANT TO GIVE THEM KUDOS FOR THAT.
TODAY THEY HAVE A PORTFOLIO OF 52 UNITS FROM PALM BAY TO TITUSVILLE.
SOME ARE SHELTERS, SOME ARE LONG TERM STAYS.
I'M GOING TO JUST SKIP OVER KIND OF THEIR IMPACT BECAUSE WE WILL TALK ABOUT THAT LATER.
WELL, IT IS HOUSING MADE AFFORDABLE BY SEPARATING ITS VALUE OF THE LAND UNDERNEATH IT.
SO WHAT YOU DO IS YOU GET A QUALIFIED LOW INCOME PURCHASER.
IT WILL BE A CONTRACT TO PURCHASE THE HOUSE AND THEN THEY GET A LEASE FOR THE GROUND.
SO THE NICE THING ABOUT IT, IT IS A 99 YEAR GROUND LEASE.
WHAT THEY DO IS THEY PAY THE NONPROFIT OR THE LAND TRUST.
SOMETIMES IT CAN BE A FOR PROFIT.
[00:05:03]
SO THEY OWN THEIR OWN HOME.BUT THE LAND STAYS WITH COMMUNITY LAND TRUSTS AND THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT AFFORDABLE.
NOT ONLY THEY ARE ONLY PAYING FOR THE HOUSE, SO THE LAND COULD BE WORTH ABOUT $30,000.
SO WE CAN TAKE THAT RIGHT OFF THE TOP.
OKAY. AND THEY CAN ONLY SELL THE HOUSE TO ANOTHER FAMILY THAT IS INCOME QUALIFIED.
SO UNLIKE THE SHIP AND HOME PROGRAMS, WHEN YOU PURCHASE HOUSING AND THEN AFTER THE END OF THE AFFORDABILITY PERIOD, TEN, 15, 20 YEARS, EVEN WHEN IT'S MULTIFAMILY HOUSING, WHEN THAT AFFORDABILITY PERIOD ENDS, BOOM, IT GOES RIGHT INTO FAIR MARKET.
IT'S NO LONGER AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND YOU'VE TAKEN IT RIGHT OUT OF THE HOUSING STOCK.
THIS KEEPS IT PRACTICALLY IN PERPETUITY.
AND THE NICE THING ABOUT IT IS YOUR STAFF DOES NOT HAVE TO KEEP MONITORING IT.
IT'S GOING TO BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE COMMUNITY LAND TRUST TO KEEP IT AFFORDABLE.
YOU ONCE YOUR AFFORDABILITY PERIOD IS OUT, IS DONE, THEN YOU GUYS ARE OUT.
THE LEAN ENDS, THE LEASE PRESCRIBES A RESALE FORMULA.
SO WHEN THE FAMILY GOES TO SELL THE HOUSE, WHAT THEY DO IS THEY LOOK WHAT IS THE FAIR MARKET VALUE FOR CURRENTLY FOR THE HOUSE? WHAT DID THEY PAY FOR IT IF THEY GOT DOWN PAYMENT ASSISTANCE, WHICH IS ELIGIBLE FOR DOWN PAYMENT ASSISTANCE, IT STAYS WITH THE HOUSE.
I'M NOT GOING TO GO INTO THE FORMULA BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE A WHOLE OTHER LECTURE HERE.
BUT THE PROCEEDS ARE ACTUALLY SPLIT BETWEEN THE HOMEOWNER AND THE COMMUNITY LAND TRUST, AND THAT IS HOW THEY CAN EARN INCOME, THE CLT IN THE FUTURE TO BUY OTHER PROPERTIES AND GROW THE COMMUNITY LAND TRUST.
BUT THE HOMEOWNER IS GOING TO GET A PART OF THE PROCEEDS AS WELL.
QUESTION IS, CAN THEY GET LOANS? YES, ABSOLUTELY.
CURRENTLY, DREW HAS ABOUT THREE MORTGAGE LENDERS BANKS THAT ARE WILLING TO WORK WITH CLTS.
I'M SORRY, BE THE MORTGAGE SERVICER.
SIR. BUT WE ARE TRYING TO PREPARE AND EDUCATE OTHER BANKS AND MORTGAGE LENDERS ON THIS.
OKAY. THE LENDER HAS A CLAIM ON THE HOUSE AND THE LEASEHOLD INTEREST.
IN OTHER WORDS, THE LAND IS NEVER GOING TO BE MORTGAGED, WHICH AGAIN, IF WITH AFFORDABLE HOUSING, ONE OF THE KEY PROBLEMS WE'VE HAD, AND I'VE SEEN IT BEFORE WITH LIKE EVEN HABITAT HOUSES, YOU TRY TO PUT RESTRICTIONS AND KEEP THEM FROM GOING OUT AND RACKING UP THEIR CREDIT CARDS AND TURNING AROUND AND PUTTING A MORTGAGE ON THEIR WHAT HAD BEEN AN AFFORDABLE HOUSE TO PAY OFF THEIR CREDIT CARDS AND THEY END UP LOSING THE HOUSING.
SO WE HOPE HAVING SOMETHING LIKE THIS WILL KEEP IT FROM HAPPENING.
OKAY. SO BASICALLY OUR ORIGINAL PROPOSAL WAS FOR FOUR HOMES, BUT WE'RE GOING TO SKIP THROUGH THAT.
UM, LET'S SEE, WE TALKED ABOUT THAT.
SO I WANT TO SHOW AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT WE WOULD HAVE PROPOSED.
AND IT WILL STILL BE A PROPOSAL IN THE FUTURE.
SO THAT BROUGHT IT DOWN RIGHT TO $220,000.
RIGHT. THERE IS $100,000 OFF FROM THE MARKET PRICE, BUT WE'RE NOT DONE YET.
THEN IF THEY QUALIFY FOR THE FIRST TIME HOME BUYER ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, AND WE'VE BEEN IN DISCUSSIONS WITH COMMUNITY HOUSING INITIATIVE AS WELL, BECAUSE ONE OF THE KEY COMPONENTS TO CLTS IS THE CLIENTS MUST GO THROUGH A FIRST TIME HOME BUYER PROGRAM, WHETHER THEY GO THROUGH THE PROCESS, NOT TO HAVE A HOME BUYER, HOMEOWNER EDUCATION PROGRAM.
IT JUST IT'S YOUR RESPONSIBILITY NOW.
NO LANDLORD TO CHANGE YOUR AIR FILTER OR COME AND CHANGE YOUR LIGHT BULB.
OKAY. SO WHAT WE WERE LOOKING AT IS THEIR TOTAL MORTGAGE WOULD HAVE BEEN 163,000.
THAT'S ALMOST HALF OF WHAT THE MARKET PRICE WAS.
THEN USING THE MONTHLY MORTGAGE PAYMENT AT 7.791, INSURANCE COSTS AND THE LAND LEASE.
IT CAME OUT TO A WHOPPING $101,384.50 A MONTH WOULD HAVE BEEN THEIR MORTGAGE PAYMENTS.
THAT IS WHAT THE HUD FAIR MARKET RATE IS.
AND IF WE KNOW ANYTHING, HUD FAIR MARKET RATE IS 2 TO 3 YEARS BEHIND SCHEDULE.
SO WE KNOW THE RATES ARE ACTUALLY A LITTLE HIGHER IN PALM BAY.
SOMETIMES USING THE CURRENT RATES.
SO COMPARE THAT TO WHAT THE MORTGAGE WOULD HAVE BEEN $1,384.
[00:10:08]
YOUR MORTGAGE PAYMENTS, WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SOME TAXES GOING UP EVERY YEAR ON INSURANCE, THEY DON'T HAVE TO WORRY EVERY YEAR WHEN THAT LEASE IS UP.DO IS THEIR RENT GOING TO INCREASE MORE THAN THEIR INCOME? WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN TO THEM? SO WE CAN TAKE THAT ANXIETY OUT.
THAT'S JUST A LITTLE QUICK CHART SHOWING THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN LAND OF HOPE AND THE GOING RENTS AND WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF USING A SEAL TEAM. WELL, AS PART OF THE LEASE AGREED TO SELL THE HOME IN THE FUTURE TO AN INCOME QUALIFIED HOUSEHOLD, KEEPING IT AFFORDABLE IN PERPETUITY.
THEY WILL REALIZE AN APPRECIATION OF THE PRAISE VALUE.
SO THEY'RE GOING TO GET TO ENJOY THE PROFIT OF THE HOUSE.
BUT THEY WILL NOT HAVE TO SELL THEIR HOUSE AT A LOSS.
AND THIS ALLOWS PEOPLE TO GET OUT OF THE RENTAL CYCLES AND START BUILDING GENERATIONAL WEALTH.
AND THAT'S THE END OF MY SLIDE.
ANY QUESTIONS? ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT THE.
NO. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR TIME FOR GIVING US THAT PRESENTATION.
I APPRECIATE IT. OH, QUESTION.
BE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING REAL ESTATE TAXES.
THE REAL ESTATE TAXES ARE GOING TO BE PAID BY THE HOMEOWNER.
AND IF IT'S A AND IT WILL BE PART OF THE HOUSE PRICES IS WHAT IT'S GOING TO BE.
SO IT WILL BE ROLLED INTO THE MORTGAGE.
THEY WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE PTI.
OKAY. UM, YOU KNOW, PROPERTY APPRAISER DOES A BREAKDOWN ON LAND VALUE AND HOUSE VALUE.
WHO'S GOING TO COVER THE APPORTIONMENT TO THE DIRT? OKAY, SO WHAT THE PLAN IS, BECAUSE THIS IS GOING TO BE UNDER A NOT FOR PROFIT AND THEN THEN THERE WOULD BE A WAIVER OF PROPERTY TAXES.
ALL OF THE PROPERTY? NO, JUST THE LAND VALUE.
JUST THE LAND WOULD BE WAIVED BECAUSE THE LAND IS OWNED BY A NONPROFIT.
WHAT ABOUT INSURANCE? SO THEY HAVE TO COVER THEIR OWN INSURANCE FOR THE HOUSE.
OKAY. AND THE LANDOWNER IS THE PERSON THAT WOULD CHOOSE WHICH INSURANCE COMPANY.
ET CETERA. THE HOMEOWNER? YES. THEY CHOOSE THEIR OWN INSURANCE COMPANY.
UM. AND WHO IS THE LENDER GOING TO BE? HAVE YOU HOW MANY UNITS ARE WE TALKING ABOUT TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH WITH THIS SYSTEM? WELL, ORIGINALLY WE WERE GOING TO PLAY FOR A PLAN FOR FOUR, BUT HOPEFULLY IN THE FUTURE IT'S GOING TO BE MANY, MANY HOUSES FROM HERE ALL THE WAY TO TITUSVILLE.
SO THE EXPERIMENT IS WITH FOUR HOUSES, IS THAT CORRECT? FOR BREVARD COUNTY, THOUGH? IT HAS BEEN GOING ON IN THE STATE OF FLORIDA FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS.
OKAY. SO THE SAME PROGRAM HAS BEEN IN OTHER COUNTIES, OTHER COUNTIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
SO THIS IS NOT A BRAND NEW PROGRAM.
DREW HAS BEEN GOING THROUGH THE EDUCATION PROCESS AND SO HAS THE BOARD OF COMMUNITY OF HOPE AND THE AND THE COMMUNITY LAND TRUST TO BE CERTIFIED UNDER THE CLT FOR ABOUT ACTIVLY THE LAST YEAR.
AND SO IF SOMEBODY THAT IS IN THIS PROGRAM AND THEY WANT TO SELL, LET'S SAY AFTER A COUPLE OF YEARS. HOW DOES IT GET MARKETED AND WHO BRINGS IN A QUALIFIED BUYER AND WHO HELPS THEM GET THE LENDING? AND WHAT DO YOU DO IF SOMEBODY JUST MOVES OUT QUITS PAYING? WELL, IF THEY JUST MOVE OUT, JUST LIKE WITH ANY OTHER MORTGAGE OR ANYTHING ELSE, WE'D BE WORKING WITH THE MORTGAGE HOLDER BECAUSE WE HAVE THE THE LAND LEASE AND WE WOULD TRY TO GET ANOTHER QUALIFIED BUYER.
AND NOW IF THEY ARE MOVING ON THEIR OWN, THEN WE WOULD GO THROUGH THE PROCESS OF MARKETING.
WE ALSO WANT TO MARKET THROUGH THE PUBLIC HOUSING AUTHORITY.
THEY HAVE A PROGRAM TO HELP PEOPLE MOVE OUT OF PUBLIC HOUSING.
ALSO, SECTION EIGHT VOUCHERS CAN BE USED TO PAY FOR MORTGAGES, SO WE WOULD BE WORKING WITH OTHER PROGRAMS LIKE THAT THAT ARE LOOKING FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSES FOR THEIR CLIENTS THAT WANT TO BREAK THAT RENTAL CYCLE.
[00:15:04]
AND WHO MIGHT THAT BE? I AM DREW SHARED WITH ME ONE.HE COULDN'T REMEMBER ALL THREE OF THEIR NAMES RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE HE WAS TRAVELING.
BUT VALLEY BANK IS ONE OF THEM.
THEY WORK HERE IN THE SOUTHEAST THERE, SO THEY ARE WILLING TO LEND.
AND WE HAD A CONVERSATION WITH THE FLORIDA HOUSING COALITION EARLIER TODAY, TOO, AND THEY SAID THEY'VE GOT A LIST OF LENDERS THAT OTHER COUNTIES THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF FLORIDA ARE USING AND THEY'RE WILLING TO SHARE THAT LIST WITH US, TOO.
SO WE'RE GOING TO BE IN OTHER DISCUSSIONS.
SO THERE'S ALREADY LENDERS NOT JUST IN FLORIDA, BUT ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST, AT LEAST, THAT ARE FAMILIAR WITH CLTS AND ARE WILLING TO DO IT, AND FHA WILL WORK WITH CLTS. DO YOU HAVE LIKE WILL YOU HAVE LIKE A RESERVE FUND TO MAKE MORTGAGE PAYMENTS? SHOULD PEOPLE JUST DISAPPEAR? THAT WOULD BE A QUESTION THAT I CANNOT ANSWER FOR DREW BECAUSE I'M HIS CONSULTANT.
AND AND SOMETHING LIKE THAT WOULD PROBABLY BE VERY DOABLE FOR A PERIOD OF TIME.
CERTAINLY. I DO WANT TO SAY ONE LAST THING, THAT EVEN THOUGH WE'RE WITHDRAWING, WE LIKE TO WE'RE GOING TO THROW OUR SUPPORT BEHIND THE OTHER APPLICANT AND WE WHOLEHEARTEDLY SUPPORT THEIR THEIR PROGRAM.
CARIBBEES. NEXT UP, WE HAVE MR. JERRY, AND HE'S WITH MACEDONIA.
SEE YOU. MY NAME IS GERRY PHILLIPS.
I'M WITH THE MACEDONIA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION OF SOUTH BOULEVARD.
I SERVE AS THE PRESIDENT OF THE ORGANIZATION, AND WE HAVE BEEN IN EXISTENCE SINCE 2007.
I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR THIS OPPORTUNITY I'M DOING HERE NOW.
MAKE SURE I FORGET ALL THIS TECHNOLOGY.
THERE WE GO. OKAY, I GOT IT. THANK YOU.
THIS IS BOB. THE BOARD MEMBERS THAT SERVE ON THE BOARD, THIS ARE WE HAVE ABOUT TEN BOARD MEMBERS RIGHT NOW THAT ARE SERVING AND MOST OF THEM HAVE BEEN ON FOR FOR AT LEAST 4 OR 5 OR SOME OF THEM SOME OF THE LONGEST 15 YEARS OR MACEDONIA.
WE ALSO PROVIDE THE LIFE SKILL TRAINING TO LOWER INCOME FAMILIES.
OUR PRIMARY GOAL, OF COURSE, IS TO ACQUIRE ABANDONED AND NEGLECTED PROPERTY IN THE COMMUNITY AND CONVERT THESE PROPERTIES INTO DESIRABLE, AFFORDABLE HOUSING. WE HAVE GAINED SUPPORT FROM BOTH THE COUNTY AND THE CITY AND LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS.
PALM BAY HAVE BEEN BLESSED US A FEW TIMES AND WE APPRECIATE IT SO MUCH.
AND WE ARE JUST THAT A LITTLE BIT LATER.
OUR EXPERIENCE. OF COURSE, WE PROPERTY DEVELOPMENT OF BUDGET AND EXPENDITURE OF MANAGEMENT, MANAGEMENT OF A RENTAL PROPERTY AND OF COURSE OF VERIFYING THE INCOME FOR OUR TENANTS TO MAKE SURE THEY QUALIFY.
WHAT HAVE WE ACCOMPLISHED IN THE LAST 15 YEARS OR SO? WE HAVE WE HAVE BUILT 11 NEW HOMES AND WE ACQUIRED THE FIVE HOUSES FOR RENOVATION.
AND OUR WE ARE PROJECTED NOW TO BUILD ANOTHER THREE BEDROOM HOUSE WITH SOME OF MY THAT PRETTY SOON I HOPE IT'S A SOME TECHNOLOGY THAT WOULD NOT BEEN USED IN DECIDED TO THE STATE SO FAR IT'S CALLED 3D PRINTING.
WE TEAMED WITH HABITAT TO DO THIS PROJECT.
THIS IS FROM THE HOUSE THAT WE BUILT SO FAR AND ONE IN THE MIDDLE.
THERE'S A DUPLEX, OR MOST OF THEM ARE THREE BEDROOM.
THERE ARE SOME FOUR BEDROOMS ALSO.
[00:20:01]
THESE HOMES. HERE YOU CAN SEE THE BOTTOM THREE.PALM BAY WAS VERY INSTRUMENTAL IN HELPING US FUND THE THESE THREE HOUSES AT THE BOTTOM THERE.
MATTER OF FACT, THE ONE ON THE LEFT THERE, THEY GAVE US COMPLETE FUNDING.
YOU GAVE US COMPLETE FUNDING FOR THAT HOUSE.
AND AND MATTER OF FACT, ONE ON THE RIGHT, YOU ALSO PITCHED IN THAT ONE, THE YELLOW ONE THERE.
YOU DID ABOUT ABOUT ONE FIFTH OF THE PAYMENT FOR THAT ONE.
SO IT WAS A GREAT, GREAT HELP TO US TO MOVE FORWARD.
AS YOU KNOW, THERE'S A GREAT NEED FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND THAT'S THAT, SAID SOUTH MELBOURNE.
BUT THAT'S ALSO NORTH PALM BAY AND WE CERTAINLY APPRECIATE ALL THE THINGS WE CAN DO THERE TO KEEP MOVING FORWARD WITH TRYING TO BUILD AS MANY AFFORDABLE HOUSING WE CAN, BOTH FOR RENTAL AND FOR SALE.
ON THE AVERAGE, WE RECEIVE ABOUT 20 CALLS, INQUIRIES PER MONTH, AND WHEN WE ANNOUNCE ONE AND WE GET ABOUT 50, BUT WE GET A LOT OF INQUIRIES ABOUT WHAT WE HAVE AVAILABLE.
THE PROJECT WE WANT TO PURSUE IS ON WASHINGTON STREET 2264 WASHINGTON STREET.
IT'S A TRIPLEX AND EACH ROOM, EACH UNIT HAS TWO BEDROOMS AND ONE BATH.
IF YOU'RE NOT FAMILIAR WITH THAT LOCATION, A LOCATION IS THAT SOUTH OF FLOOD AVENUE AND EAST OF. THE STREET HERE.
I CAN'T I CAN'T POINT OUT TO YOU.
I'M NOT. LIPTON STREET IS A LIGHT BLUE LINE GOING UP.
SO THE UNIT THAT WE TRYING TO RENOVATE IS ON WASHINGTON STREET, ABOUT 150FT, MAYBE 300, 200FT SOUTH OF FLOOD AVENUE.
OF COURSE, WE REQUESTED SOME HELP.
WE WOULD LIKE TO REQUEST FOR $105,746, AND PART OF IT IS TO ACQUIRE THE PROPERTY AND THEN THE CONSTRUCTION OF IT.
APPROVAL. THIS PROJECT WILL CERTAINLY ENHANCE THAT THAT AREA.
IT WOULD PROVIDE THREE THREE UNITS FOR FOR A LOW INCOME FAMILY TO LIVE.
BUT IT'S A REAL, REAL, I THINK A B, A REAL POSITIVE THING TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS PROJECT.
WE'RE LOOKING AT DOING ANOTHER UNIT THERE PRETTY SOON TO TO MAKE IT EVEN BETTER.
THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO PRESENT TO YOU.
SO IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTION, I'D BE HAPPY TO ANSWER THEM.
DID ANYONE HAVE ANY QUESTIONS FOR MR. PHILLIPS? OKAY.
SO HAVE YOU GUYS EVER HAD TO DO THE UNIFORM RELOCATION ACT BEFORE? I'M SORRY. HAVE YOU EVER HAD TO RELOCATE SOMEBODY UNDER THE THE UNIFORM RELOCATION ACT? YES, WE HAVE.
OKAY. WE JUST FINISHED THE THREE UNITS THAT WE HAD TO RENOVATE.
AND THE REASON WE HAD TO DO ENVIRONMENTAL INSPECTION ON IT AND THERE WAS OLD HOUSES ALSO, SO WE HAD TO DO A COMPLETE RENOVATION, HAD IT HAD A BAPTISM, IT ALSO HAD A LEAD BASED PAINT.
SO WE HAD TO MOVE THEM OUT OF THERE AND HAD TO RELOCATE THEM.
YES. AND THEN I HAVE A BUNCH OF QUESTIONS.
I'M SORRY. HOW LONG IS THE AFFORDABILITY? SO IN THE IN YOUR PROPOSAL, IT SAYS THAT THEY WOULD START OFF AT $600 A MONTH.
[00:25:02]
HOW LONG WOULD THEY REMAIN THAT? AND IF THEY WOULD BE GOING UP, HOW MUCH WOULD YOU BE? IS THERE A CAP ON THE PERCENTAGE OF INCREASE YEARLY THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ESTABLISHED OR WRITTEN CAP OR HOWEVER, THE THE KEY THING IS THAT WE WON'T CHARGE MORE THAN 30% OF THE INCOME AND MAJORITY OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD.QUITE A FEW ARE THEIR THEIR INCOME RANGE ANYWHERE BETWEEN 12 AND $26,000 A YEAR.
SO IT WON'T BE MUCH ROOM TO TO DO MUCH INCREASE.
THAT 600 IS WHAT THEY'RE PAYING RIGHT NOW.
AND WE DON'T SEE NO REASON WHY WE ARE GOING TO PUT IT ALL.
YOU KNOW, JUST A QUESTION FOR THE CITY.
WOULD THAT BE IN THEIR CONTRACT THAT NO MORE THAN 30% OF THE INCOME FOR THE TENANT? WE WOULD HAVE TO FOLLOW THE HOME REGULATIONS IF HE DECIDED TO CHARGE LESS OF A RENT, THAT WOULD BE FINE, BUT HE COULD CHARGE NO MORE THAN WHAT HOME REQUIREMENTS ARE.
MY CONCERN IS THAT IN KNOWING THE COST OF THAT, THAT'S SEVERAL.
I'M HAVING A I'M I DON'T HEAR THE WAY I'M SORRY.
I'M TRYING TO TALK RIGHT INTO I'M SORRY.
AND MY CONCERN IS THAT I DO NOT SEE THAT IN THE BUDGET.
AND KNOWING THE COST OF THAT, THAT CAN BE ANYWHERE FROM 15 TO $20,000.
SO I JUST WONDERING WHERE THAT MONEY'S GOING TO COME FROM, IF ANYTHING, THAT IS NOT TO ACCOUNTED FOR A COURSE THE MQDC MACEDONIAN COMMUNITY FUNDS FOR THAT WE WE FUND FOR ANYTHING TO MAKE IT HAPPEN SO AND SO THEN MY OTHER CONCERN WAS THE BUDGET FOR THE RELOCATION PERIOD OF THE THREE TENANTS.
SO IN HERE FOR I GUESS IN YOUR PROPOSAL, IT HAD SAID 15 MONTHS.
AND WHEN I LOOKED AT THE BUDGET, THE MY UNDERSTANDING FOR THE UNIFORM RELOCATION ACT IS THAT YOU GUYS ARE REQUIRED TO PAY FOR MOVE IN COST FOR THE NEW PLACE, WHICH RIGHT NOW FOR A TWO BEDROOM ANYWHERE, THE CHEAPEST THAT I SAW TODAY WAS 1300.
WHEN YOU SUBTRACT 1300 FROM 600, YOU'RE LEFT WITH A $700 BILL EACH MONTH FOR EACH CLIENT.
AND THAT WASN'T ACCOUNTED FOR IN THE BUDGET EITHER.
SO I WAS JUST WONDERING WHERE THOSE FUNDS WOULD COME FROM AS WELL.
UH, THE WHAT WE'VE BEEN I'VE BEEN DISCUSSING WITH SOME OF THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT HAVE RENTAL PROPERTY, WE HAVE A RANGE FROM A 695 TO A $4,000, AND WE'VE BEEN LOOKING AT THOSE AND SEE WHAT WE CAN DO WITH THOSE.
SO WE DO INTEND TO KEEP LOOKING UNTIL WE FIND WHAT WE CAN MANAGE.
BUT WE'RE LOOKING AT PROBABLY ABOUT $800, PERHAPS A MONTH.
SO HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE CURRENTLY LIVING IN THE THREE BEDROOMS? I MEAN, IN THE THREE UNITS? HOW MANY INDIVIDUALS ONE UNIT HAS? UM, I'M SPEAKING BECAUSE IT CHANGED IN THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS OR IT HAD ONE.
BUT WHEN I FIRST STARTED TALKING, THEY HAD IT WAS TWO IN THERE, BUT IT'S ONE NOW.
AND HE SAID THAT HE WOULD BRING BACK HIS, HIS CHILD OR HIS AND HIS FRIEND BACK WITH HIM.
SO HE'S LOOKING AT THREE OR THE FIRST UNIT, OF COURSE, A HAS THREE IN IT.
AND THE MIDDLE ONE THAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT EARLIER, IT HAD ONE RIGHT NOW, BUT THEY SAID THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE THREE OR THE ONE ON THE ON THE END. SEE, THEY HAVE TWO.
SO IF THEY'RE LIVING THERE NOW AND IT'S NOT UP TO CODE, HOW ARE THEY ABLE TO LIVE THERE NOW IF IT'S NOT UP TO CODE? THERE'S A LOT GOING ON.
AND AND THE PREVIOUS OWNER, THOUGH, RIGHT.
AND THEN IN THE BUDGET, I ALSO DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING FOR SOFT COST OR HARD COST CONTINGENCIES.
[00:30:03]
SOFT, SOFT AND CONTINGENCY.I HAVE A CONTINGENCY IN THERE, I BELIEVE TOTALLY CONTINUE TO I BELIEVE IS A 13,000.
IT'S THE VERY LAST LINE ON THE PERFORMA.
THANK YOU. OKAY, THAT'S ALL MY QUESTIONS.
PUTTING UP WITH ME. ANY OTHER QUESTIONS? I JUST WANT TO COMMEND MR. PHILLIPS. I'M FAMILIAR WITH MACEDONIA'S WORK IN THE SOUTH MELBOURNE AREA THE FIRST YEAR THAT I WAS ACTUALLY ON THIS COMMITTEE.
AND THAT WAS A GOOD PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN THE CITY OF PALM BAY AND THE CITY OF MELBOURNE.
AND SO THEY PARTNERED WITH THE CITY OF MELBOURNE TO BUILD THAT HOUSE AND IT WAS A GORGEOUS HOME.
MACEDONIA DOES A GREAT JOB WITH THEIR TENANTS AND WITH EVERYBODY THAT'S ON THE BOARD AND THE REST OF THEIR GROUP TAKING CARE OF ALL OF THESE PROPERTIES TO REALLY TRY TO IMPROVE THE WHOLE COMMUNITY.
I'M VERY PROUD OF THEM. I'M PROUD TO BE A PARTNER WITH THEM.
I WOULD LIKE TO ASK JUST ONE THING.
AND FIRST OFF, VERY WELL DONE.
HOW ABOUT WINDOWS? AND I SAY THIS ONLY BECAUSE ELECTRICAL COSTS ARE GOING UP AND EFFICIENCY ON HOMES THROUGH WINDOWS.
IT WAS JUST A CONCERN THAT THERE'S IMPACT.
I'M SORRY. EXCUSE ME. YES, I MISS THAT.
IT'S ABOUT THREE QUARTERS OF THE WAY DOWN AFTER THE PAINT.
HURRICANE OR SOMETHING COMES NOT HAVE TO DO SHUTTERS.
YES. YEAH. THAT'S A THANK YOU, SIR.
THAT WAS THE ONLY THING THAT I SAW OUT OF ANYTHING HERE.
THANK YOU. AND ONE OTHER QUESTION.
I'M SORRY. WILL YOU BE DOING WILL YOU BE DOING A RIBBON CUTTING? YES, WE WILL. AND WILL WE ALL BE IN? OH, I HOPE SO. I LOVE GOING.
YEAH. CAN I ASK SOMETHING? YES. UM, TWO THINGS I'D LIKE TO ADD.
I WANT TO COMMEND PALM BAY FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE SO FAR AS FAR AS HELPING US OUT IN MELBOURNE.
SO I'M HAPPY THAT WE CAN HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PURSUE THIS AND TOGETHER IN PALM BAY.
SO IF THEY GO FORWARD, WE LOVE IT AND WE CERTAINLY WANT YOU TO BE THERE WHEN THE RIVER.
I DON'T HAVE A SCORING SHEET HERE.
DO YOU NEED A SCORE ON THIS OR JUST A MOTION TO APPROVE? WE HAVE A MOTION BECAUSE WE ONLY HAVE ONE AGENT.
OKAY. PLEASE. THANK YOU. OUR MR. JOHNSON. JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I DON'T SKIP YOU.
AND. OKAY, I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE I'LL ENTERTAIN A MOTION ON MOTION TO APPROVE FUNDING.
ALL THOSE IN FAVOR SAY AYE? AYE. ANY OPPOSED? I'M SEEING NONE. AND I VOTE I.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MR. PHILLIPS. WE'RE VERY EXCITED TO PARTNER WITH YOU.
ALL RIGHT. SO NEXT, WE HAVE OUR INFORMATIONAL STAFF REPORT.
[OTHER BOARD BUSINESS]
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. SO WE ARE MOVING ALONG WITH OUR PROJECTS THAT WE HAVE WITH CDBG.THE GREATER PALM BAY SENIOR CENTER.
THEY NO LONGER GOING TO DO THE CHILLER BECAUSE OF THE DELIVERY SCHEDULE.
SO I WAS SAYING WE ARE GOING ALONG WITH OUR PROJECTS.
[00:35:07]
SO THEY'VE TAKEN THAT OUT.THEY'VE COMPLETED DRILLING OF THE WELL.
BEEN FOR COMMUNITY HOUSING INITIATIVE.
WE DID ADD SOME MONEY FOR THE DOWN PAYMENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM.
THAT CONTRACT WILL RUN UNTIL DECEMBER OF 2024.
PUBLIC WORKS DRAINAGE PROJECT.
WE HAD A PRE-CONSTRUCTION MEETING ON JUNE THE 14TH AND WORK IS SET TO COMMENCE ON THE 26TH.
CAN I ASK A QUICK QUESTION ABOUT THAT? BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT'S THE ONE THAT I READ IN THE CITY COUNCIL AGENDA PACKET, THAT THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT THE LOW BIDDER AND THIS.
IS THIS THE SECOND LOW BIDDER? WE DECIDED NOT TO GO WITH THE LOW BIDDER.
MAYBE I'M CONFUSING IT WITH ANOTHER ONE.
AND THEN THE PARKS, THE THREE PARKS ARE PROGRESSING WELL.
THEY'RE COMING ALONG WELL AS WELL.
CDBG. CONTRACTS THAT WILL BE ENDING ON SEPTEMBER THE 30TH.
THEN WE HAVE THE SOUTH BREVARD WOMEN'S CENTER.
WE APPROVED THE POLICE DEPARTMENT PROGRAM.
THIS WAS AN AMENDMENT THAT WE HAD TO DO.
WE WOULD HAVE RUN OUT OF TIME BECAUSE REMEMBER, PUBLIC SERVICES THEY CAME TO PRESENT.
WELL, I SHOULD SAY THEY SUBMITTED A PROPOSAL BUT WEREN'T HERE.
AND SO WHEN WE WENT TO COUNCIL, COUNSEL HAD ASKED THAT IF THERE WAS FUNDS AVAILABLE, BECAUSE DURING THAT SAME TIME FRAME, WE FOUND OUT THAT THE SOURCE WAS TERMINATING THEIR AGREEMENT. AND SO THEY SAID, COULD THEY FUND THAT? BUT BECAUSE PUBLIC SERVICES, THE CONTRACT HAS TO BE COMPLETED BY SEPTEMBER 30TH, WE DIDN'T HAVE THE TIME TO BRING IT BACK TO CDB AND COUNCIL.
WE TOOK A SUBSTANTIAL AMENDMENT TO THEM.
OKAY. SO CITY COUNCIL IS WHO ULTIMATELY MADE THAT OKAY? BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE I'M RECALLING THAT THE DISCUSSION UP HERE WAS THAT THERE WAS A LITTLE BIT OF A DUPLICATION OF EFFORT BETWEEN POWELL AND THE POLICE DEPARTMENT.
BUT. THEY CHANGED THEIR SCOPE TO WHERE IT WAS JUST THE SUMMER PROGRAM.
SO THEY'RE HELPING WITH THE IS IT CALLED READING FEED? THERE'S A READING PROGRAM THAT THEY HELP WITH BETWEEN MELBOURNE AND PALM BAY OVER THE SUMMER, AND THEN THEY'RE DOING A ONE WEEK SUMMER YOUTH PROGRAM WHERE THEY HAVE TEN KIDS, THEY'RE GOING OUT AND DOING ACTIVITIES WITH, AND THEN THEY'RE ALSO GOING TO DO THE NATIONAL NIGHT OUT SO THEY MODIFY THAT.
WOULD IT BE POSSIBLE, SINCE THEY DIDN'T COME BEFORE US FOR THAT APPLICATION, MAYBE AT THE END OF THE SUMMER WHEN THEY'RE DONE WITH THEIR PROGRAM THAT THEY COME AND MAYBE GIVE US A LITTLE RECAP PRESENTATION SINCE IT'S THE FIRST YEAR OF THAT.
UM, AND THEN FOR 2324 FISCAL YEAR, THE FOLLOWING PUBLIC SERVICES WERE ALLOCATED FUNDING.
GREATER MELBOURNE POLICE ATHLETIC LEAGUE.
PARENTS RAISING GRANDCHILDREN AND THE SCAT BUS SERVICE PROGRAM.
AND FOR THE NON PUBLIC SERVICE.
WE HAVE THE GOOD PARK, WHICH WERE ALL APPROVED BY THE CITY AT THE LAST MEETING IN JANUARY.
SO THAT SHOULD BE EXPANDED BY THE END OF THE CONTRACT.
AND WE ALSO ALLOCATED THE BALANCE OF THREE TO HELPING SENIORS, BUT ALZHEIMER'S AND MELBOURNE PARK.
[00:40:04]
UM, AND THEN MOVING ON TO HOME.UH, SHE IS WORKING ON THE TWO PROPERTIES AND THEY WERE GIVEN AN ADDITIONAL TWO PROPERTIES.
UH, PROPERTIES THAT WERE SURPLUSED.
AND THEN FOR WILLIAMS, WE SHOULD HAVE ONE BY MID AUGUST.
THEY ARE MOVING REALLY FAST AND THEY ARE SPENDING THE MONEY ACCORDING.
SO WE ARE PLEASED WITH THE. THEN FOR.
PLEASED TO REPORT THAT WE HAD A MONITORING THAT RETURNED NO MATERIAL OBSERVATIONS OR FINDINGS.
THERE WAS REALLY A VERY GOOD EFFORT ON THE PART OF THE STAFF.
SO. PLANS FOR 2021 HAVE BEEN FULLY EXPANDED AND THEN 2022, 21, 22 FUNDS HAVE BEEN FULLY ENCUMBERED.
THAT HAS TO BE DONE BY JUNE THE 30TH.
SO WE'RE STILL GETTING GUIDANCE FROM HUD CLOSES THAT OUT.
ANY QUESTIONS FOR STEFFI? STAFF REPORT. GREAT JOB.
ANY OTHER GENERAL BOARD COMMENTS? ELENA, DID YOU GET A RESPONSE FROM EVERYBODY FOR THE.
YEAH. IT LOOKS LIKE MONDAY WILL WORK THE BEST FOR EVERYBODY.
I'M SEEING NO MORE. WILL ADJOURN AT 642.
THANK YOU, EVERYONE.
