SUBJECT:
A RESOL I OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, CALLING FOR A PUBLIC HEARING
TO CONSIDER A LEASE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE
UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA, ON BEHALF OF ITS COLLEGE OF
ARCHITECTURE, FOR THE USE OF THE THIRD FLOOR OFFICE SPACE
AT HISTORIC CITY HALL, LOCATED AT 1130 WASHINGTON AVENUE,
MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA
ADMINISTRA TION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
BACKGROUND
The University of Florida, on behalf of its College of Architecture (UF), previously entered into a
Lease Agreement, dated July 14, 1993, with the City, for the use of the 3rd floor office space at
Historic City Hall. The Lease term expired because UF failed to timely exercise its option to extend
the Lease. UF approached the City and advised that its failure to exercise the renewal option was
due to an administrative oversight and sought approval to continue using the subject property.
On January 6, 1999, the Mayor and City Commission adopted Resolution No. 99-23023, approving
UF's continued use of the subject office space. Said continued use was to be on a month-to-month
basis, terminable upon notice by the City, but otherwise continuing pursuant to the terms and
conditions of the previously existing Lease Agreement, and further authorizing the City Manager
to negotiate an in-kind services agreement with the UF.
The University submitted an in-kind services proposal which has been reviewed by the
Administration. The Administration, including Planning Department staff, met with UF and
provided input during the development of UF's in-kind service proposal. Said in-kind services
proposal is being defined further.
Said in-kind services are to be performed in lieu of monetary compens-ation to the City, as UF has
done in the past, at a rate equivalent to those being charged to the most recently approved lessees
in Historic City Hall, and adjusted to keep with the current market value.

In addition, and pursuant to the City Commision's request on March 17, 1999, the Administration
has contacted Florida International University (flU) to explore their desire to co-locate with UF.
It was FlU's understanding that UF was not continuing the existing program, thus FlU was
requesting the use of said space. UF has indicated that the program will continue. We will continue
to explore joint use of the facility.
ANALYSIS
Pursuant to the provisions of City Ordinance 92-2783 (Shapiro Ordinance) the lease of any City-
owned property for a period of more than one year and five years or less, including option periods
is subject to the following conditions:
· a Planning Department analysis
· a public bidding process
. an independent appraisal to determine the value of the leasehold interest
· a public hearing to obtain citizen input
Said Ordinance further, provides that except for the Planning Department Analysis, the above
referenced conditions may be waived by a Sl7ths vote of the City Commission upon a finding that
the public interest would be served by waiving such conditions.
Given the unique nature of the proposed use and the fact that there are existing lease agreements
which may be used as a baseline to facilitate the establishment of current market value, avoiding the
cost of performing an appraisal of the premise would be in the City's best interest. Accordingly, the
Administration will be recommending that the independent appraisal requirement in connection with
the approval of said lease agreement be waived, by a Sl7ths vote, as required pursuant to Ordinance
No. 92-2783.
Moreover, in accordance with the Mayor and City Commission's determination to support higher
education and retain UF's program in Historic City Hall it will be further recommended that the
public bidding requirements be waived, by a Sl7ths vote, as is also required pursuant to Ordinance
No. 92-2783.
Additionally, Ordinance No. 92-2783 states, in Section 2, that prior to the sale or lease of City
property, the City Commission must have a public hearing, advertised not less than IS days prior
to the hearing, to obtain citizen input.
CONCLUSION
The Mayor and City Commission should set a public hearing on May lZ, 1999, beginning at 11 :00
a.m., to consider public comment regarding a lease agreement with. the University of Florida, on
behalf of its College of Architecture, for the use of the third floor office space at Historic City Hall.
