Summary of Proceedings

Alapato CRA Meeting – September 10, 2026

The Alapato Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) Board of Commissioners met on September 10, 2026, at 4:00 PM to consider a single agenda item: Resolution Number One, approving an interlocal agreement between the City of Miami and the Alapato CRA. The meeting included the approval of prior meeting minutes, a initial unanimous vote, a reconsideration motion, and an amendment to the agreement’s tax increment financing (TIF) split percentages.

Consent Calendar

  • Approval of Minutes: The board approved the minutes of the previous meeting by a unanimous voice vote. (No roll call was recorded, but no objections were raised.)

Discussion Items

  • Resolution Number One – Interlocal Agreement: The board initially considered the resolution as presented. After hearing no public comments, the board voted 4‑0 (with one commissioner not yet asked) to approve the resolution. Immediately thereafter, CRA Administrator Keith Carzwell requested reconsideration to allow an amendment proposed by the Chair. The board voted 5‑0 to reconsider, bringing the item back for debate.
  • Amendment to TIF Split: The Chair proposed adjusting the interlocal agreement’s TIF revenue distribution: for the first five years, 75% to the CRA, 20% to the City, and 5% to an unnamed party (presumably Miami-Dade County or the School Board, though not specified). Starting in the sixth year, the split would become 60% to the CRA, 35% to the City, and 5% to the third party. The board clarified the percentages total 100% and affirmed the amendment.

Key Outcomes

  • First Vote (Original Resolution): Passed unanimously 4‑0 (Chair Gabelli noted “for the record four zero”).
  • Reconsideration Motion: Passed 5‑0 (moved by Commissioner Pardo, seconded by Commissioner Rosato).
  • Final Vote (Resolution as Amended): Passed unanimously 5‑0 (moved by Commissioner Rosato, seconded by Commissioner Escalona). The amended interlocal agreement was approved. The board noted that the Alapato CRA is newly established and will return to regular meetings in the future.
