I Shall the Mayor and City Commission approve the Resolution?
Item Summary /Recommendation:
On June 8, 2005, the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2005 - 25934, which authorized the execution of an Inter -
local Agreement (ILA) with Miami -Dade County (County) for the operation of a bi- directorial transit circulator route
service in Miami Beach to be known as the "South Beach Local" (SBL). The ILA expired on October 11, 2010; however,
MDT has continued to provide services under the same terms and conditions. This partnership with MDT allows the City
to comply with the requirement of the People's Transportation Plan (PTP) Surtax to expend a minimum 20% of the City's
PTP share on transit purposes.
MDT initially wanted to have the City contribute more to the annual operating cost than our current proportion of
approximately 35% City and 65% County. The County wanted to have a 50% City and 50% County split. The cost
increase to the City would have been $507,379 annually. In addition, the County wanted to increase the headways during
peak hours, eliminate the City's 3% annual increase limits, and eliminate the Belle Isle service.
After prolonged negotiations and support from County Commissioner Bruno A. Barreiro, the City and MDT agreed to the
following:
1. The City will maintain the current level of contribution of $1,213,121 per year.
2. Maintain the current headways of 13 minutes during the peak hours.
3. Continue service to Belie Isle.
4. Maintain the City's contribution to the annual net operating cost increase to the Miami -Ft. Lauderdale CPI
Transportation Index or 3 %, whichever is less.
5. Eliminate service between midnight and 1:00 am as average ridership is only 10 people during that hour.

BEACH, FLORIDA, APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND CITY CLERK TO
EXECUTE AN INTERLOCALAGREEMENT BETWEEN MIAMI -DADE COUNTY AND THE
CITY OF MIAMI BEACH FOR THE CONTINUED PROVISION OF A BI- DIRECTIONAL
TRANSIT CIRCULATOR ROUTE SERVICE KNOWN AS THE "SOUTH BEACH LOCAL ".
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
FUNDING
This Resolution is approving the use of fiscal year (FY) 2011/12 People's Transportation Plan (PTP)
Funds in the amount of $1,200,000 and FY 2011/12 South Beach Concurrency Mitigation Funds in the
amount of $13,121 appropriated for the South Beach Local.
BACKGROUND
On June 8, 2005, the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2005 - 25934, which authorized the
execution of an Inter -local Agreement (ILA) with Miami -Dade County (County) for the operation of a bi-
directional transit circulator route service in Miami Beach to be known as the "South Beach Local"
(SBL). Service commenced on September25, 2005 and the SBL replaced both the City's Electrowave
Shuttle Service and Miami-Dade Transit's (MDT) Route W.
MDT has provided an expanded level of service at significantly less cost to the City, as a result of the
City and County combining and coordinating transit resources instead of competing for the same
ridership. The partnership allows the City to comply with the requirement of the People's Transportation
Plan (PTP) Surtax to expend a minimum 20% of the City's PTP share on transit purposes.
The ILA expired on October 11, 2010; however, MDT has continued to provide services under the
same terms and conditions.
MDT initially wanted to have the City contribute more to the annual operating cost than our current
proportion of approximately 35% City and 65% County. The County wanted to have a 50% City and
50% County split. The cost increase to the City would have been $507,379 annually. In addition, the
County wanted to increase the headways during peak hours, eliminate the City's 3% annual increase
limits, and eliminate the Belle Isle service.
After prolonged negotiations and support from County Commissioner Bruno A. Barreiro, the City and
MDT agreed to the following terms:
1. The City will maintain the current level of contributon of $1,213,121 per year.
2. Maintain the current headways of 13 minutes during the peak hours.
3. Continue service to Belle Isle.

4. Maintain the City's contribution to the annual net operating cost increase to the Miami -Ft.
Lauderdale CPI Transportation Index or 3 %, whichever is less.
5. Eliminate service between midnight and 1:00 a.m. as average ridership is only 10 people during
that hour.
ANALYSIS
The changed terms of the negotiated SBL ILA in comparison to the original SBL ILA are as follows:
• Sec. 2.2 Vehicles - FTA Purchased Buses
o Current Agreement: If the Agreement is terminated, MDT will return City - purchased
buses to the City. City will be allowed to purchase up to 6 additional minibuses from the
County's procurement contract.
o Negotiated Agreement: A change to federal regulations requires MDT to reimburse
FTA for the 4 buses purchased with FTA funds for the SBL based on the depreciated
value, and any remaining funds after the disposal of the buses and reimbursement to
FTA will be provided to the City, if the agreement is terminated. The City will be allowed
to purchase additional dies el minibuses from MDT's bus procurement contract.
o Changes: The change from returning buses to the City to the City receiving remaining
funds after FTA reimbursement is due to a change in federal regulatons.
• Sec. 2.7 Public Coordination
o Current Agreement: Agreement does not include language on this issue.
o Negotiated Agreement: MDT will present proposed modifications to the Transportation
and Parking Committee (TPC). MDT will also provide biannual presentations to the

o Negotiated Agreement: MDT will provide the City with an annual performance report
which includes ridership data and trends, supporting data for Service Standards, annual

service between midnight and 1:00 a.m. The City agreed to maintain the same level of
annual funding because the County had agreed to maintain the same 13 minute
headways during peak hours, continue service to Belle Isle, and maintain the City's
annual funding increase to limit the City's contribution to the Miami -Ft. Lauderdale CPI
Transportation Index or 3 %, whichever is Tess.
