by amending the requirements in Section 8 from July 1, 1996 to January 1,2001 and also amending
any section of that Resolution in conflict with this agreement.
8(a). The City of Miami Beach shall be relieved of any further obligations under this agreement
if the construction of the Perfonning Arts Center Project and the related issuance of the Convention
Development Tax Bonds do not occur prior to January 1,2001. In the event that this agreement ends
on January 1,2001 or earlier, the City shall be required to pay to the COlU1ty the difference between

Subject:
Proposed Agreement on Convention Development Tax and the Performing Arts
Center
Administrative Recommendation
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission adopt the settlement
agreement and the attached resolution.
Background
The City has held several meetings with the County to negotiate a settlement which will allow the
Performing Arts Center to move forward without adversely affecting the Convention Center's ability
to operate. The proposed agreement that has been crafted between the Managers will accomplish this
goal. Numerous other issues were raised during the negotiations. Some of those issues are addressed
as a part of this agreement. If the settlement is acceptable to the Commission, the attached resolution
authorizing the creation of an interlocal agreement between the City and the County containing the
terms of the agreement will be adopted. The City Attorney and the County Attorney will then draft
such an agreement and refer back to their respective Commissions for final approval.
The proposed agreement provides reciprocal obligations from the City and County. The City will
assist the County in the defeasance of the existing obligation~ and the County will authorize the
issuance of the Tax Increment Bonds for the hotel projects. The City will provide monies from the
Convention Center existing funds and future flow of funds to fund the architectural contract on the
Performing Arts Center and the County will provide funds to supply the capital needs of the
Convention Center over the next six years. The City will reduce its capital replacement funds for the
Convention Center beginning in the seventh year and the County will extend the life of the South
Pointe Redevelopment District for twelve years. The City will provide land and construct a regional
Agenda Item R. 'l E
Date 3-A.().~~
library and the County will operate and maintain it. The City Center Redevelopment Plan will be
amended to allow for Convention Center - and Jackie Gleason Theater - related projects and the
County will permit the electric shuttle for South Beach. The agreement will cover the distribution
of the Convention Development Tax through January 1,2026. After that date the distribution will
revert to the language in Florida Statutes. The agreement will also terminate if the Performing Arts
Center Bonds are not issued or construction has not started on or before January 1, 2001. If the
agreement does terminate on or before January 1,2001, the City will be required to repay to the
County through the Convention Development Tax distribution $35 million less any amounts
previously given up from the current $4.5 million a year flow of funds.
Conclusion
As the attached proposed agreement has long term effects on both the City and the County, the item
should be incorporated into an interlocal agreement which will be authorized by this resolution.

Re: Beach Costs for the New Regional
, .
In addition to paying for the actual construction of a new regional, the City needs
to include at least $3,545,301 to purchase an additional 100,000 books (there
are 100,000 books currently; the paper specs sent to you previously specified
200,000 total volumes). As costs rise, purchasing power may fall, so it may take
more money to reach the goal. A couple of years ago, we ballparked $533,400
for furniture and shelving and $294,000 for added computers and wiring for a
regional. Architect Bill Liddy of GSA will also be sending architectural bid specs
for recent regionals to the City, as per their request. Thanks for your help.
