if a decision is made to charge a facility admission fee, then the City will not be able to charge differential
fees based on where a resident resides in the County; b) `In the event that any naming rights or

funds not be used in substitution of other capital funding - this is not applicable since the city is not

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 (BBC 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.
GOB funding was approved for the following Miami Beach projects: Lummus Park, South
Pointe Park, Beach Maintenance Facility, Beachfront Restrooms, Flamingo Park, Normandy
Shores Golf Course, Band Shell Park, Scott Rakow Youth Center, 41St Street Bridge
Repair/Restoration, Fire Station #2, Fire Station #4, South Shore Community Center, Flagler
Memorial Monument and Monument Island, Old City Hall and Miami Beach Convention
Center. Additional other GOB projects in the City include the renovation of North Shore
Branch Library, improvements to the Wolfsonian and Beach Erosion Mitigation and
Renourishment Projects.
Some of the BBC GOB funded projects are complete, or in advanced stages of
construction/renovation, and those agreements have already been executed. The
Administration desires to move forward and execute the agreements for the final set of
projects.
Commission Memorandum
Page 2
As such, the Administration now requests approval to execute the agreement for the
following two (2) projects:
1. GOB Project Number 87-70611/Band Shell Park $1,500,000
2. GOB Project Number 84-70609/Flamingo Park $3,099,000
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 issues that the City had have been resolved, however, notable language that
remains in these documents includes the following:
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.
For Flamingo Park, the city will be using the GOB funds to renovate areas of the
park that do not have facility admission fees. For Band Shell Park if a decision is
made to charge a facility admission fee, then the City will not be able to charge
differential fees based on where a resident resides in the County. Recent
discussions with Miami-Dade County have made it clear that the County is not willing
to waive this requirement.
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 BBC 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.
Currently has no impact on either of these two projects, however the City will need to
consider this rule when/if deciding to sell naming rights or advertising on either of
these facilities.
3. Substitution of other capital project funding.
The County requires that BBC GOB funds not be used in substitution of other capital
funding.
This is not applicable since the city is not substituting BBC GOB funds for other
capital funding.
Matching funds are not required from the City to support the BBC GOB funding.

This project supports the Key Intended Outcome: Ensure Well Designed Quality Capital
Projects.
CONCLUSION
The Administration requests approval to authorize the City Manager to execute the following
agreements with Miami-Dade County, for funding from the Building Better Communities
General Obligation Bond Program: 1) Band Shell Park in the amount of $1,500,000; and, 2)
Flamingo Park in the amount of $3,099,000; as approved by the voters in the November 2,
2004 countywide referendum; further authorizing the execution of all necessary documents
related to these agreements.
