Members of the City Commission
FROM: . Carla Bernabei Talarico
City Manager
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH,
FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO CREATE OPEN, AND APPROPRIATE
$500,000 FROM PARKING FUNDS FOR PURPOSES OF CASH FLOW INTO A SPECIAL.
REVENUE ACCOUNT AND CORRESPONDING ACCOUNTS FOR THE PURPOSE OF
ACCOUNTING AND PROVIDING FOR SHUTTLE SERVICES USING COUNTY CONTRACTS
DURING CAUSEWAY CONSTRUCTION
During the next five years, the State of Florida Department of. Transportation
will be repairing, renovating and widening all of the causeways connecting Miami
Beach to the mainland. These projects, although scheduled in various phases,
will result in considerable traffic congestion and delays. Road closings will
be prevalent.
Accordingly, and in an effort to reduce the number of vehicles on the causeways,
the State, County and Federal government agencies involved in the project, have
authorized funding a multi-year project to provide direct shuttle services to
and from the mainland. These services will be coordinated with Metropolitan Dade
County's Transit Agency connecting the shuttle with direct Metrobus, Metrorail
and People Mover Systems.
Due to equipment limitations, the Transit Agency desires that the City coordinate
and arrange for the contracting of this service from" pri vate. providers. As such,
the City, using the County contracts, will act in the role of an intermediary
and process the scheduling and payment requirements. Following payment, the City
will submit all invoices for reimbursement to the County.
This project is not limited to the mainland-Beach run. By implementing this
program on a regular basis, the opportunity will present itself to connect with
various SoBe Shuttle services. Connecting services could potentially alleviate
a large number of vehicles on Ocean Drive; while providing a customer-oriented
shuttle program.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION:
The Administration recommends that the City Commission of the City of Miami Beach
adopt the attached resolution which authorizes the City Manager to create and
open a Special Revenue Fund and Department accounts for purposes of processing
all payments and financial activities during the five-year project; appropriating
$500,000 from Parking System funds for purposes of cash flow to the new set of
accounts which will be funded through reimbursements from Metropolitan Dade
County.
