In June of 1995, the County, in conjunction with representatives of the Trust for Public Lands, initiated a
survey to evaluate current and future recreation and parks needs of its residents. The survey disclosed the
existence of a shortfall of over $1 billion in capital for basic repair and renovation of aging parks,
development of new and underdeveloped facilities, and acquisition of land to meet open space deficiencies.
In response to the survey, the City of Miami Beach reported a need for approximately $29 million in capital.
(See attached list submitted.)
The results of the survey were evaluated by the Citizens Advisory Council, a volunteer group formed by the
Trust for Public Lands. The Citizens Advisory Council recommendations for funding were incorporated in
the Safe Neighborhood Parks Ordinance prepared and submitted to the Board of County Commissioners. Of
the $29 million in funds requested by the City ofMiarni Beach, the Citizens Advisory Council recommended
a total allocation of$7,316,000. (See attached listing as recommended.)

BEACH RESTORA TIONI BOARD'V ALK I BROAD'V ALK ENHANCEI'trENTS
Funding Request: $10 lVlilIion
The beaches of Miami Beach, world renowned for their beauty, are utilized by thousands of
Dade County citizens, tourists and guests on a daily basis. According to statistics provided by
the City of Miami Beach Patrol over 7.5 million visitors used the City's beach in 1995. This is an
incredible statistic considering the entire surface of this beach is only 7.5 miles long. The every
increasing popularity of this beach has ta.'<en its toll over the years and it is now time for its
restoration.
In 1995 the City of Miami Beach, with the cooperation and participation of Dade County Parks
Department, Rotel Owners, beach concessionaires, DER.M: and other interested organizations
and individuals fonnulated a Beach Master Planning Committee. This committee was charged
'with the monumental task of identifying all the elements of the existing beach experience that
the tourist, resident, or day guest encounters in a typical visit to the beach. It was also the
committee's task to analyze what components should be added, removed or modified to enhance
this experience and to ultimately make Miami Beach a "World Class Beach."
Based on the extensive ~tudy and evaluation conducted by this working committee it was
determined that the beach needed extensive restorations in areas. These included but not limited
to landscaping, restroomsl concession stands, street ends, parking lots, boardwalk:! broadwalk
enhancements and extensions, new lifeguard stands, beach maintenance equipment and dune
renorishiment and replanting. To this end the City of Miami Beach received the approval from
the City Commission to issue a Request for Proposals for professional master planning services.
This RFP is in the development process and will be issued soon.
The beach is currently operated by.the City of Miami Beach and the area east of the dune is
maintained by Dade County's Beach Maintenance Division. If this project is funded, it will be
administered by the City of Miami Beach with the oversight and guidance of the established
Beach Master Planning Committee, chaired by Commissioner David Pearlson.
Considering the beach is Dade County's most popular tourist attraction, generates extensive
tourism tax dollars and is the our most valuable resource is very important that this project be
funded if this measure is approved by the voters.

cITY OF :MJA~n BEACH GOLF COTJRSES RESTOR.\. TION
Funding Request:
Bayshore Golf Course $3.5 million
Normandy Shores Golf Course $3.5 million
Par 3 golf Course $2.0 million
The City of Miami Beach currently owns three golf courses. Bayshore (118.51 acres) and
Normandy Shores (126 acr~s) courses are 18 holes and the Par 3 (25 acres) is a 9-hole facility.
The courses have significant regional impact, providing recreational opportUnities for thousands
of Miami Beach and Dade County residents and tourists on a year round basis. These enhanced
facilities will offer Dade County residents a first class recreational experience and generate
additional revenues by increasing the tourist base coming to Mianu Beach specifically to play
golf or by extending their stay to play golf.
All three facilities are presently in need of extensive renovation and restoration in areas including
but not limited to the clubhouse, fairways, tees, greens, sand traps, cart paths, irrigation systems
and' landscaping. Based on preliminary discussions with various golf course professionals the
amounts requested are realistic.
In an effort to obtain the future vision of what the City's golf courses should be the City
Commission appointed a "Golf Visioning Committee" comprised of a Member of the City
Commission, golf players who use the courses, golf professionals, Miami Beach residents, Golf
. Advisory Board members, and Administration representatives. This group will serve as a
steering committee. should the project be funded.
COLLINS PARK! BASS l\1USEUM GARDENS BEAUTITICA nON PROJECT
Funding Request: $2-? million
The City of Miami Beach's Bass Museum is presently undergoing an expansion and renovation.
The existing 16,000 square foot facility, constructed in 1930 will be renovated and a new
addition of 24,900 square feet constructed for a total interior surface space of approximately
40,000 square feet. It is estimated the cost of this enhancement will be $8 million dollars.
The original proposed design, developed by the world renowned architect Arata Isozaki, included
an expansive garden complete with sculptures, majestic Royal Palms, reflecting pools and shade
trees. This plan would extend from what is now the front of the Bass Museum through Collins
Park and ultimately end at the ocean. Due to the cost of construction and the availability of
funding for this landscape program, this component has been delayed. This project if funded
would greatly enhance the cultural experience of the museum guest, and offer a respite area to
enjoy the open air and beauty of a magnificent park.
The City of Miami Beach has appointed an oversight committee for the construction of the Bass
Museum. This committee is comprised of professionals in the fields of construction, museums,
finance and other related experiences. If the program is funded this committee and the Bass
31
Museum Board Qf Trustees will be responsible for the administration of this project.
NORTH SHORE OPEN SPACE PARK
Funding Request: $ 3 million
This 34-acre park, located. on Collins A venue and the ocean between 79th and 87th streets is
one of the last remaining undeveloped beach front! dune areas in Dade County. Facilities in the
park include an extensive boardwalk! deck system that travels throughout the beach front,
covered picnic shelters, grills, restrooms and concession facilities, mature landscaping, small
nature center and Dade County Turde Hatchery. Additional recreational facilities include a
playground, beach volleyball courtS, a guarded swim area, and Dade County's Beach
Maintenance Division.
The park is used by thousands of beach goers annually. The park has a significant regional
impact on the open space in Dade County, serving as a primary weekend recreational destination
for Dade County residents, and tourists.
Due to the severe impact of the ocean environment the facilities including the boardwalk,
buildings and decking are in need of extensive reconstruction. North Shore Open Space Park is
operated by the Recreation, Culture and Parks Department. If funded a comprehensive
-renovation of the park would be administered through this Department with the guidance of the
City Commission, rpe Administration and the Recreational Facilities and Parks Advisory Board.
SWThfMING POOLS RENOVATIONS! NEW CONSTRUCTION
Funding Request: $4.5. Million
The City of Miami Beach is completing a comprehensive Parks Master Plan for twenty-two (22)
parks and recreation sites. The goal of this master plan is to provide a "total picture" of what the
City's parks system should be to meet the recreational needs of our residents and visitors well
into the future.
The master plan architects, based on input and comments'from residents at sixteen (16)
community meetings have developed a comprehensive listing of parks and recreation facilities
and programs the citizens would want included in their revised parks system. The first phase of
this master plan will soon be complete, and it is clear the recreational facilities requested by our
residents far exceed the resources presently available to provide the optimum facilities. One
recreational facility residents have requested consistently is a new swimming pool in their
neighborhood. The City currently has three (3) pools. These are located at Normandy Isle, the
Scott Rakow Youth Center, and Flamingo Park. These pools are extensively utilized year
round by all segments of the citizenry, from youths to senior citizens.
It has been determined by the master planners that the pool at the Youth Center is in good

condition, but the ones at Normandy Isle Park and Flamingo par,l.;: should be demolished and new
ones built in their place. The community has also requested that an additional new pool be
constructed at North Shore Park.
The City of Miami Beach is requesting $1.5 million dollars for each of three pools to pay f~r the
cost of such construction. This project would be administered under the guidance of the City
Commission, this Administration, the Recreation, Culture and Parks Depanment and the
Recreational Facilities an~ Parks Advisory Board.
