North Miami CRA approves contracts for lobbying, communications and beautification; tables two items to Nov. 10
Summary
The North Miami Community Redevelopment Agency approved multiple agreements including a lobbying contract, a communications contract addendum and a youth-led home-beautification program while tabling two agenda items to a Nov. 10 special meeting. All recorded votes were unanimous, 4-0.
The North Miami Community Redevelopment Agency on an undated regular meeting approved several vendor and interlocal agreements and moved two agenda items to a Nov. 10 special meeting.
Board members voted unanimously to table consent item B and agenda item 1 to the Nov. 10 meeting and to move consent item D from the consent agenda to the regular agenda for further action. The motion to reschedule and reassign the items was made by Board member Estimere Irvin and seconded by Vice Chair Timothy; it carried 4-0.
The board adopted the remaining consent items (tabs a, c, e, f, g and h) by voice vote.
Votes at a glance: - Hiprockstar LLC (communications services): board approved consent item D with an addendum increasing the contract by up to $35,000 to cover production for the CRA’s “Teach to Fish” summit; motion carried 4-0. The staff referenced a resulting contract total of $192,500. - Restrategize LLC (lobbying services): board authorized a renewal for fiscal 2025–26 at an annual cost not to exceed $60,000; motion carried 4-0. - Interlocal agreement with Northwest Seventh Avenue CRA: board approved entering an ILA to coordinate redevelopment of the Northwest Seventh Avenue corridor (joint planning, shared design standards and joint outreach); motion carried 4-0. - Greater Miami Service Corps (beautification program): board authorized negotiation and execution of an agreement to implement a beautification program for 15 single-family residences in the CRA area for an amount not to exceed $150,000 and approved a recommended bid waiver under the city code; motion carried 4-0.
Each motion was moved and seconded on the record by named board members and recorded as unanimous (4-0). Public hearings were opened as required for several items; no members of the public spoke on those items during the meeting.
The board’s actions advance multiple short-term contract efforts (communications, lobbying, and a youth workforce-led beautification program) and formalize cooperation with the Northwest Seventh Avenue CRA on corridor redevelopment while leaving two items for further consideration at the Nov. 10 special meeting.
Details on the text of the motions, the exact contract language, and the staff recommendations appear in the official agenda packet and will be incorporated into the minutes when finalized.
