OFFICE OF THE MAYOR AND COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
TO: Jimmy Morales, City Manager
FROM: Ricky Arriola, Commissioner
DATE: April 1t,2016
SUBJECT: DISCUSSION RE,GARDING THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH JOINING
THE METROLAB NETWORK WITH LOCAL UNIVERSITIES"
Please add the above subject as a discussion item to the April 13, 2016 Commission meeting
agenda.
The Metrolab Network is a platform in which cities and universities partner together to solve
complex urban challenges through innovation and technology. Metrolab was created in
September 2015 with a $1 million grant from the MacArthur Foundation and was featured as
part of the White House's Smart Cities Initiative. Since its creation, Metrolab has produced
23 projects ranging from topics like climate change to data analytics. The University of
Miami recently approached the City of Miami Beach to discuss ways in which the two
entities can partner together. Miami Beach should resolve to join the Metrolab Network with
the University of Miami and other local academic institutions.

Ricky Arriola

Agenda Item A(DD--s--'- o^t"W19
Letter from University Presidents and Mayors to President Obama on the
Creation of a Metro Lab Network
September 2015
We, the undersigned university presidents and mayors (and their designees), commit to
collaborating within and across our communities to research, develop and deploy technology-
enabled solutions that can help address our communities' most pressing challenges.
Our cities and metropolitan areas face complex challenges involving interconnected and
interacting infrastructure systems such as transportation, water and sewer, communication,
buildings, and public services. Under conventional approaches, addressing these looming
challenges will require significant investment.
Our research universities have the physical and human resources to help their cities meet these
challenges through undertaking research, development - and deployment - of innovative projects
at lower cost. The identification and undertaking of these innovative and deployable projects can
best be identified and prioritized through a working partnership between the city and the
university that outlines the purpose and process. Many of us are already engaged in these
benefi cial partnerships.
Any such city/university partnership will exponentially benefit by collaborating with other
cityluniversity partnerships similarly organized. Given the complexity of many of the
infrastructure city challenges, a comprehensive research, development and deployment approach
embracing multiple cities and multiple universities working together collaboratively can offer
important advantages.
The formation of an unincorporated network of city/university partnerships, hereinafter
referenced as the Metrolab Network, would enable such explicit sharing and collaboration in
research development and deployment of solutions to those cities.
Therefore, the undersigned agree to:
Form a Cityfuniversity collaboration within their respective community memorialized in
a Memorandum of Understanding;
Appoint a representative from each partner responsible for maintaining the collaboration;
Through the collaboration, identify and undertake at least three research, development
and deployment projects within the coming year (by September 2016);
Participate as a founding member of the Metrolab Network through workshops and other
knowledge sharing activities.
