Date: May 29, 2002 ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION Adopt the Resolution. ANALYSIS On April 18, 2001, the Mayor and City Commission appropriated $ 500,000 for necessary repairs of the Byron Carlyle Theater. The Property Management Division of the City of Miami Beach carried out these renovations. The renovations included the remodeling of the lobby area, temporary use of the space with minimal air conditioning, addressing the ADA deficiencies in the restrooms, the installation of a security system, and improving the exterior lighting of the building. However, due to the extensive nature of the improvements required at the facility, the project was divided into three phases based on available and other projected funding sources. At the March 20, 2002 City Commission meeting, the Mayor and City Commission approved a construction contract in the amount of $282,345 to Laumar Roofing, Inc. for the partial replacement of the roof and air conditioning equipment for the Byron Carlyle Theater. This work was required to prevent further deterioration of the building and to serve as the precursor for Phase \I of the renovation project. Phase \I of the renovation project consists May 29, 2002 Commission Memorandum Reallocation of Funds for Byron Carlyle Page 2 of renovating the two theaters located on the east side of the building into a 250-seat performance theater with an estimated cost of approximately $1.2 million dollars. The funding sources for the cost estimate were identified as follows: . $50,000 from the Miami-Dade County Community Development Block Grant program . $100,000 from the Miami Beach Community Development Corporation Preservation and Rehabilitation Program (City of Miami Beach CDBG funds) · $300,000 from North Beach Development Corporation Commercial Fayade Program (City of Miami Beach CDBG funds) . $300,000 from North Beach Development Corporation Quality of life Funds . $460,000* from the State of Florida Cultural Facilities Grant Program " The State Cultural Facilities Grant is recommended for funding at 100% by the State House and recommended at 50% by the State Senate. The State Legislature approved the recommendations on May 13, 2002 and is pending the signature of the Legislative Officers and the Governor. To reallocate the City of Miami Beach Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds for the rehabilitation of the Byron Carlyle, the Department of Housing and Urban Development requires that the respective One-Year Action Plans for Fiscal Years 2000/01 and 2001/02 be amended. An amendment to the One-Year Action Plan is considered substantive when the proposed CDBG-funded activity has not been previously described in the Action Plan(s). The $400,000 in CDBG funds were originally awarded to the two development corporations for their respective faoade programs. A total of $300,000 from the North Beach Development Corporation ($150,000 from FY 2000/01 and $150,000 from FY 2001/02) and $100,000 from FY 2001/02 to the Miami Beach Community Development Corporation. As part of the substantive amendment process required by HUD, a thirty day public comment period was advertised for the Notice of the Intent to Amend the One-Year Action Plans for FY 2000/01 and FY 2001/02). The comment period was from April 21st through May 21, 2002. No comments were received. However, a revised Notice of Intent to Amend the One-Year Action Plans must be advertised to give notice that a 30-day comment period will commence May 30th through June 30th stating that the $400,000 will be reallocated to the City of Miami Beach Property Management Division for rehabilitative costs of the Byron Carlyle. A Memorandum of Understanding will be executed between the City of Miami Beach Property Management Division and the Community Development Division of the Neighborhood Services Department. In addition, due to the federal timeliness issues that must be adhered to with respect to all current and prior year CDBG funds, the timeline for the expenditure of construction costs must fall within the CDBG agreement period set to expire September 30,2002. HUD has already notified the City that it will no longer accept promises of action to be taken and wants to see actual accomplishments achieved. As part of the annual performance review that HUD conducts on the City's CDBG program, May 29, 2002 Commission Memorandum Reallocation of Funds for Byron Carlyle Page 3 a timeliness check is conducted 60 days prior to the end of the program year. For a grantee to be considered in compliance with the timeliness check, the balance in the line- of-credit cannot exceed 1.5 times the annual grant. Currently, the City is above that threshold. However, as part of the corrective plan of action to expend CDBG program funds, and not risk sanctions, the Administration is proposing the use of these funds for the renovation of the Byron Carlyle. On April 22, 2002, the Community Development Advisory Committee voted unanimously to accept the Administration's recommendation to reallocate a total of $400,000 from current and prior year fa9ade program funds from North Beach Development Corporation and the Miami Beach Community Development Corporation for the rehabilitation of the Byron Carlyle. The CDAC concurs with the sentiment that the renovation of the Byron Carlyle as a Theater is an important component of the North Beach revitalization strategy. CONCLUSION The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission adopt the Resolution for the rehabilitation of the Byron Carlyle Theater.
