ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
ANALYSIS
The Administration requests approval to submit the following two (2) grant applications:
1. Retroactive approval for the submittal of a qrant to the Miami-Dade County
Department of Cultural Affairs, FY 2002-2003 Capital Development Grants Proqram
for the Byron Carlyle Theater in the amount of $50,000.
Miami-Dade County's Capital Development Grants Program provides funding to
renovate, adapt and/or equip neighborhood cultural facilities. Priority is given to
facilities proposing ADA-compliance improvements. The program requires a $1 for $1
match and the maximum amount available is $50,000. The deadline for this grant was
April 11, 2002. The Administration was advised of this grant after the printing date of
for the April 1 0,2002 City Commission meeting. Due to the City Commission schedule,
the Administration has submitted the grant and retroactive approval is required from the
City Commission.
The Byron Carlyle Theater requires extensive renovations, including ADA
improvements. Since the County prioritizes ADA compliance improvements for this
grant, the City is requesting $50,000 for ADA improvements to the building, specifically
funds to purchase and install an ADA compliant elevator. Currently, there is no elevator
in the theater to access the 2nd floor and balcony area. Matching funds are available
and appropriated from the City's General Fund for this project.
2. Approval to submit a Qrant to the Federal Transportation Enhancement ProQram for
funds for Phase IV of the North Beach Recreational Corridor
The Transportation Enhancement Program (TEP) provides funds for the development
of non-traditional transportation projects. TEP is a federal program administered by the
Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), The Metropolitan Planning Organization
handles the selection of projects. Eligible organizations include cities in Miami-Dade
County, Miami-Dade County itself and FDOT, District 6 (Miami-Dade and Monroe
County). Funding for the TEP is provided by the Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA), through the Transportation Efficiencies Act (TEA-21).
The City is in the process of developing a recreational trail for the North Beach District,
called the North Beach Recreational Corridor Project (NBRC). The NBRC will be an on-
grade, recreational trail built within a public easement corridor, which runs along the
western edge of the sand dunes, immediately east of the beachfront properties. The
NBRC will provide a continuous, multi-purpose public access corridor, which will
interconnect area business districts, cultural and tourism centers, residential
neighborhoods, parking facilities, parks, schools and the beaches, The NBRC will be
developed in a "Greenway" or linear park setting to accentuate the area's natural
resources, historical architecture and cultural heritage.
The master plan is for the NBRC trail to extend from Beach View Park at 53rd Street &
Collins Avenue, north along the dunes, to the northern City limit at aih Street & Collins
Avenue, with a series of "east-west connector nodes" linking the trail to the residential
areas to the west. The entire NBRC project has been subdivided into five phases of
work. Phase I is the segment of the trail which will extend from 64th Street north to 75th
Street. Phase II is the segment which will continue north from 75th Street to 79th Street.
Phase III is the proposed extension of the trail from 64th Street south to 53rd Street.
Phase IV will be the series of east-west connector nodes or sub-trails connecting to the
residential areas to the west. Phase V is the portion of the trail that will extend from
79th Street, through North Shore Open Space Park, to the City's northern limit at aih
Street.
Through a series of Federal appropriation requests and grant applications, as well as
allocation of County and Local bond proceeds, the City acquired sufficient funding for
the design and construction of Phases I, II & V of the NBRC project. The design of
Phases I & II is nearly finalized and construction is expected to begin in the fall. Phase
V was incorporated into the on-going renovation of North Shore Open Space Park and
construction of that segment of the trail is scheduled to be completed this summer.
Phases III & IV are not funded.
As part of its annual Federal legislative initiative, the City submitted requests for an
appropriation of $3,000,000 from the Transportation Enhancement Act of 2001 (TEA-
21) and from the Economic Development Initiative Grant Program of the U.S.
Department of Housing and Urban Development, for Phase IV of the NBRC project,
which involves the development of the series of "residential connector nodes" which will
directly link the North Beach residential areas with the regional employment centers,
transit facilities and the NBRC trail.
The estimated total cost of Phase IV of the NBRC is $1,250,000. The City has
$250,000 of the funds appropriated for the NBRC project from the Miami-Dade County
Safe Neighborhood Parks (SNP) Bond Program, available to be used as matching
funds for this grant application and will seek $1,000,000 in TEP grant funds for
completion of Phase IV of the NBRC trail.
In conclusion, the Administration recommends approval of this Resolution authorizing
the City Manager or his Designee to submit grant applications for: 1) the Byron Carlyle
Theater, for Miami-Dade County Capital Development Grant Funds; and, 2) the North
Beach Recreational Corridor for Federal Transportation Enhancement Funds; further
appropriating the grants if approved and accepted by the City and authorizing the
Mayor and City CI~~xecute all documents necessary to these applications.
