Bus.” To further nutrition efforts in the community, Levy/Lee Wesley, which operates catering and

(4) Approving Parramore Oaks Amendment to Purchase and Sale Agreement (Phase 2) and Amendment

InVictus Development, LLC. Mayor Dyer called on CRA Executive Director Thomas Chatmon who stated

that in December, 2016, the CRA entered into Purchase and Sale Agreements (Phase 1 and Phase 2)

and a Development Agreement with InVictus Development, LLC (InVictus) for the purchase and

development of the Parramore Oaks project on property currently owned by the City and CRA. InVictus

was successful in obtaining 9% Low Income Housing Tax Credits (LIHTC) through the Florida Housing

Finance Corporation (FHFC) for Phase I of the Project and construction of the first 120 units is anticipated

to commence in early 2018. Pursuant to the terms of the Phase 2 Purchase and Sale Agreement,

InVictus is working towards financing the second phase of the Project. InVictus is once again preparing

to apply to the FHFC for 9% LIHTC under its Request For Applications (RFA) 2017-113. In order for

InVictus’ application to be competitive under RFA 2017-113 and obtain the maximum number of points

under FHFC’s RFA standards, a funding commitment of either $75,000 or $625,750 from the local

government is required. The amount of funding commitment from the CRA will be $75,000 unless,

pursuant to the terms of the action taken by City Council on November 13, 2017, on or before the

deadline for applications under the FHFC’s RFA 2017-113, the Chief Administrative Officer or designee

determines either: 1) that LIFT Orlando will not or cannot submit an application or 2) based on the latest

available information about the top two ranked proposals and the RFA standards of review, that the

Parramore Oaks Phase 2 project will be in a substantially better position to prevail under RFA 2017-113.

In such case, the funding commitment to InVictus from the CRA will be $625,750. Mr. Chatmon further

stated that the Amendment to the Phase 2 Purchase and Sale Agreement extends the date for

application for construction financing for Phase 2 to December 31, 2018 and the Amendment to the

Development Agreement provides an affordable housing incentive and includes three options for the site

plan for Phase 2. Mr. Chatmon advised that the Community Redevelopment Agency Advisory Board

(CRAAB) is recommending approval and the CRA is recommending approval as well. Commissioner

Regina I. Hill moved and Commissioner Robert F. Stuart seconded a motion to approve the agreement,

and the CRA voted *6-0 to approve the agreement, filed and documentary #171211404.

19. General Appearances

Eric Marks, appearing on his own behalf, spoke about issues with a trash dumpster at the corner of

Washington Street and Court Street in downtown Orlando and gave a brief presentation on the issue.

The dumpster is on property owned by Orange County. Mr. Marks is asking for a focused effort by the

City to resolve the dumpster issues (smell, size, safety and security). Mayor Dyer introduced Solid Waste

Division Manager Michael Carroll to Mr. Marks and also suggested that Mr. Marks contact the Orange

County Commissioner in whose district the dumpster is located for assistance.

Mayor Dyer addressed the remaining speakers and reiterated the City’s position on immigration status

issues. Mayor Dyer stated he is proud to be the mayor of a diverse and inclusive city where immigrants

are a vital part of the community and he understands that people have fears concerning deportation due

to changes in immigration laws. Mayor Dyer stated that the City of Orlando lacks control over immigration

laws and is not a Sanctuary City. Mayor Dyer noted that the City does have a written policy addressing

14

anti-bias policing that was adopted in 2002 and amended in 2015 which states, in part, “…to stop, detain,

interdict, or search an individual based on the race, color, ethnicity, background, gender, national origin,

sexual orientation, gender identity/expression, economic status, age, culture, physical handicap,

immigration status (emphasis added), housing status, occupation, language fluency, religion or other

belief system, or any physical or personal characteristic.” Mayor Dyer further noted that since the policy

was adopted, there have not been any instances of people being stopped by the Orlando Police

Department in regard to immigration status or being detained for same. Mayor Dyer called on Orlando

Police Chief John Mina to verify that no complaints about immigration status have been received, that the

Orlando Police Department abides by the upgraded bias-free policing policy, and that the Orlando Police

Department complies with the anti-bias policing policy on a day-to-day basis. Chief Mina confirmed that

no complaints about immigration status have been received, that the Orlando Police Department abides

by the upgraded bias-free policing policy and that the Orlando Police Department complies with the anti-

bias policing policy on a day-to-day basis, and further stated that the Orlando Police Department complies

with all federal laws.

Mayor Dyer concluded by saying it appears there is much confusion about local jurisdiction, state

jurisdiction and federal jurisdiction and that the issues being spoken about today have not been

addressed to any other local governments. Mayor Dyer then began calling each speaker to the podium to

address City Council.

Alan Kornman, appearing on behalf of Legal Immigrants For America (LIFA), submitted a “Resolution

affirming that the City of Orlando, Florida shall continue to enforce Federal Immigration laws and
