Item Summary/Recommendation:
On November 2, 2004, the voters of Miami-Dade County overwhelmingly supported and approved a
referendum supporting the Building Better Communities General Obligation Bond program (GOB) To
provide $2.9 billion to fund more than 300 capital improvements throughout the County.
This agreement provides funding in the amount of $1,000,000 for the renovation of Flagler Memorial
Monument and the restoration of Monument Island. This agreement, in the amount of $1,000,000,
provides funding the renovation of Flagler Memorial Monument and for the Restoration of Monument
Island. The County has advised that a minimum of $250,000 must be spent on the monument, and the
balance can be spent on either the monument or the island. The Administration desires to move forward
and execute this agreement in order to start requesting reimbursement of these funds.
Two documents guide the GOB program: the Administrative Rules and The Interlocal Agreements. Both
documents were developed after the city's agreement with the county as to which projects to include and
after approval by the voters. The city has worked with the county on certain language contained in both
documents, and, much of the language has been amended. however, two (2) issues remain outstanding,
they include the county's requirement that: 1) the city not discriminate when charging facility admission
fees based on where a resident resides in the county; 2) in the event that any naming rights or
advertisement space is offered on a facility constructed or improved with GOB program funds, then Miami-
Dade county's name, logo and slogan shall appear on the facility. It is not anticipated that these
requirements are a significant concern for this project.
The administration requests approval to execute an interlocal agreement with Miami -Dade Countyfor the
renovation of Flagler Memorial Monument and restoration of Monument Island project in the amount of
$1,000 000; and approval to execute of all necessary documents related to this agreement.

COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Matti H. Bower and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Jorge M. Gonzalez, City Manager ~..
DATE: March 18, 2009
SUBJECT A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING THE CITY
MANAGER OR HIS DESIGNEE TO EXECUTE AN AGREEMENT WITH
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FOR FUNDING FROM THE BUILDING BETTER
COMMUNITIES GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND PROGRAM FOR THE
RENOVATION OF THE FLAGLER MEMORIAL MONUMENT AND
RESTORATION OF MONUMENT ISLAND PROJECT IN THE AMOUNT
OF $1,000,000; FURTHER AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF ALL
OTHER NECESSARY DOCUMENTS RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
ANALYSIS
On November 2, 2004, the voters of Miami Dade County overwhelmingly supported and
approved a referendum supporting the Building Better Communities General Obligation
Bond Program (GOB) to provide $2.9 billion to fund more than 300 capital improvements
throughout the County over the next 15 to 20 years. As part of the Building Better
Communities Bond Program, the Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners
reviewed and approved allocations to municipalities throughout the County, including the
City of Miami Beach. The City of Miami Beach is constructing and/or renovating facilities
throughout the city with Building Better Communities General Obligation Bond funds.
This agreement, in the amount of $1,000,000, provides funding the renovation of Flagler
Memorial Monument and for the Restoration of Monument Island. The County has advised
that a minimum of $250,000 must be spent on the monument, and the balance can be spent
on either the monument or the island. The Administration desires to move forward and
execute this agreement in order to start requesting reimbursement of these funds.
Two documents guide the BBC GOB program: the Administrative Rules, which govern the
implementation by Miami-Dade County of the Building Better Communities General
Obligation Bond Program; and the Interlocal Agreements, which are the executed grant
agreements between Miami-Dade County and the City setting forth mutual obligations
regarding funding cycle allocations for each project. The Administrative Rule and Interlocal
Agreement were developed after the City's agreement with the County as to which projects
to include, and after approval by the voters. The City has worked with Miami-Dade County
on certain language contained in both the Administrative Rule and the Interlocal Agreement.
Much of the language contained in these documents has been resolved, however, two (2)
issues in the Administrative Rule and/or Interlocal Agreements remain outstanding, and they
include:
1. Fees/Pricing Policy
The County requires that the City not discriminate when charging facility admission
fees based on where a resident resides in the County.
Currently the City uses General Fund revenues to subsidize facility entrance fees
and programs, including parks programs, to Miami Beach residents.
2. Naming Rights and Advertisement Space Offered on a Facility
The County requires that, in the event that any naming rights or advertisement space
is offered on a facility constructed or improved with GOB Program funds, then Miami-
Dade County's name, logo and slogan shall appear on the facility not less than once
and equal to half the number of times the most frequent sponsor or advertiser is
named, whichever is greater.
It is not anticipated that these two requirements are a significant concern for this project.
Matching funds are not required from the City to support this funding. This project supports
the key intended outcome: ensure well designed quality capital projects.
CONCLUSION
The Administration requests approval to authorize the City Managerto execute agreements
with Miami-Dade County, in the total amount of $1,000,000, for funding from the Building
Better Communities General Obligation Bond Program for the Flagler Memorial Monument
and Monument Island project; as approved by the voters in the November 2, 2004
countywide referendum; further authorizing the execution of all necessary documents related
to these agreements.
