North Miami CRA: advisory‑board vacancies, Solo Miami lottery and executive‑director timing discussed
Summary
Board members flagged advisory‑committee vacancies causing quorum problems, staff confirmed a lottery for five Solo Miami affordable units (28 applicants) will be held, and members urged early planning for the executive director's March contract decision.
Board members used the meeting’s reports section to flag internal governance and housing‑outreach items. CRA staff said applications closed for a five‑unit Solo Miami affordable‑housing lottery; staff reported 28 applicants and said the lottery will be held at 5:30 p.m. on the announced date. Staff reiterated applicant eligibility is limited to North Miami residents and said targeted advertising (including Haitian radio) is used to reach eligible applicants.
Staff also reported vacancies on the CRA advisory committee that have prevented the panel from meeting regularly. The executive director asked the board to use the recess until January to make appointments and onboard new advisory members so the advisory board can resume reviews. Several board members raised the upcoming executive director contract renewal (March) and urged early discussion and contingency planning.
The board agreed to consider appointments during recess and to return in January to continue business; the meeting adjourned thereafter.
