COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Philip Levine and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager a 7 3(...,:-.......,
DATE: September 2, 2015
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA ACCEPTING THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE
NEIGHBORHOOD/COMMUNITY AFFAIRS COMMITTEE TO RELOCATE THE
TEENS AT THE 21ST STREET RECREATION CENTER TO SCOTT RAKOW YOUTH
CENTER.
BACKGROUND
The City of Miami Beach Parks and Recreation Department Teen Club has successfully operated
from the 21st Street Recreation Center since 2009. As the commencement of the Miami Beach
Convention Center renovation is quickly approaching, City Administration has been working to
find a new site for the Miami Beach Teen Club. The Teen Club has an enrollment of 217 teens
and a daily average attendance of 145 teens. The Recreation Center is scheduled to be
demolished as part of the Convention Center Master Plan. The Parks and Recreation Department
has been given until December 18th to find an alternative site.
On June 4, 2015, a Letter to Commission (LTC) was sent regarding relocation options for the
Miami Beach Teen Club located at the 21st Street Recreation Center. Since the distribution of the
LTC, the options had been further examined and some options were eliminated and added.
At the July 31, 2015 Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee (NCAC) meeting,
Administration discussed the options and Commissioner Grieco moved in favor of the amended
recommendation made on behalf of the Teen Club staff. The recommendation was to relocate the
teens to Scott Rakow Youth Center and have the program cohabitate with the existing elementary
school aftercare. Staff would create separate entrances for the different age groups and carefully
program how the participants would rotate throughout the 14 available areas. Commissioner
Tobin seconded the motion and it was passed unanimously.
CONCULSION -
The Administration recommends the City Commission to accept the recommendation of the
NCAC at its July 31, 2015 meeting to relocate the teens at the 21st Street Recreation Center to
Scott Rakow Youth Center.
