RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the Resolution, BACKGROUND: The Administration has developed a Capital Improvement Program 1999-2004 ("the Program") for the City of Miami Beach and the Miami Beach Redevelopment Agency (RDA), The Program is a six-year plan of public improvements and capital expenditures by the City/RDA and is intended to serve as an official statement of public policy regarding long-range physical development in the City of Miami Beach. A capital improvement is defined as a capital expendjture of $25,000 or more resulting in the acquisition, improvement, or addition to fixed assets in the form ofland, buildings, or improvements and heavy equipment with an expected life of at least five years. Heavy equipment includes items such as busses, fire apparatus, heavy construction equipment (backhoes, bucket trucks, etc.), and sanitation trucks, The Program initially includes only fire apparatus in the equipment category. Other heavy equipment will be added to the Program at a later date. The development of a comprehensive Capital Program is a complex undertaking encompassing broad fiscal commitments and physical planning, As such, the Finance and Citywide Projects S()urn V()IN"ff l2edevel()pment [)Istrlct Agenda Item 2.:]) I Date l-2( -9cr Committee provided guidance and recommendations relative to the projects, the priority for completion, and funding levels for each of the Program Areas in May of 1998. A special meeting of the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee was held on April6, 1999 to review the proposed City of Miami BeachlMiami Beach Redevelopment Agency Capital Improvement Program, 1999-2004. At the meeting, the process used to develop the program was discussed and the steps to complete the process were explained. A presentation was made which included a brief discussion of the projects within each program area and funding level. The changes that had been incorporated based on the previous comments of the Commission from May of 1998 were also discussed. Various Department Directors and other City staff were available to present overviews of specific projects and respond to the Committee's questions. The Committee gave specific direction for changes as follows: - Move forward and resolve the litigation concerning the 10th Street Garage. Advise the Commission on the outcome of the PubliclPrivate Project. Try to increase the size of the 46th Street swface lot by 25-30 spaces. - Include the cost of replacement of fire apparatus to be included in the Proposed General Obligation Bond. Review proposed costs for the Fire Administration project in light of the current relocation plan. - Consider including approximately $11 million of projects in the proposed General Obligation Bond package to complete the parks master plan. Consider the Golf Course funding alternatives. Consider establishing an endowment or an impact fee for parks maintenance. - Consider the expansion of City Hall for flexibility and future growth. - There was concern expressed by the Committee in regard to the current staffing and workload in Public Works and how the magnitude of proposed projects would impact this organization. The Manager indicated that he was working directly with this Department to enhance their staffing. Commissioner Cruz indicated that they should consider hiring temporary contract employees. Commissioner Liebman asked that the area between 5th Street and 6th Street in the South Pointe RDA be given particular attention. The Committee recommended the Program and referred it to the full Commission for approval. It was also recommended that a community workshop be held (after City Commission approval) to obtain public input on the program and on the proposed General Obligation and other Bonds. On May 26, 1999, the City Administration presented a resolution requesting the City CommissionlRDA adopt the CIP 1999-2004 and authorize the Administration to take all necessary action to prepare a ballot question for the November election regarding the proposed GO Bond program. The City CommissionlRDA did not approve the proposed resolution. Instead, the City ComrnissionlRDA requested the Administration further review the list of projects and explore a lower dollar figure for the proposed bond. The Commission also requested that the projects be discussed with the Mayor and City Commissioner individually prior to seeking public input and comments at a public workshop. On July 14, 1999, the City CommissionIRDA conducted a Workshop on the CIP and the proposed G,O. Bond. In accordance with the Commission's concerns, the proposed bond issue has been reduced from the $88 million presented in May to $65.2 million discussed at the July Workshop. The emphasis of the proposed bond issue is in Public Safety $13.3 million, Neighborhood and Park Enhancements $34.6 and Public Facilities Rehabilitation and Replacement $17.3 for a total of approximately $65.2. The attached CIP Summary incorporates the recommendations made by the Finance and Citywide Committee into the Program.
