The original Agreement expired March 23, 2002. A "Temporary Emergency Passenger Motor Carrier Certificate of Transportation" has been issued, in the interim, until a new Interlocal Agreement is approved and executed by both parties. The following are noticeable elements of the proposed Agreement: Q It includes a five-year term, plus three additional one-year options to renew. Q It may be terminated for cause by either party, upon no less than thirty (30) days written notice to the other party; or termination without cause via a sixty (60)-day notice. Q It omits all references to the Federal Transit Administration (FT A), since the City of Miami Beach will soon become a "designated recipient" of FT A funds, independent of Miami-Dade Transit. This means that the City will submit funding applications directly to FTA, and receive reimbursements for shuttle capital expenditures from FTA. The Administration recommends approval of the Resolution.

This will remain pending for the time being. Resolution No. 2002-23944, dated 5/24/2000: The JPA in the amount of $2,055,610.61 was executed on the above-mentioned date and you have a copy of it. The LPA in the amount of $ 513,066.00 will be executed only by March or April 2004, when the City Consultant will complete the FOOT-required Final Design Plans for the Collins Avenue, 5th_15th Street Project. I cannot do anything about it until then. Resolution No. 2002-24907, dated 6/19/2002: The Interlocal Agreement for this grant project will not be executed until the City makes the County MPO- requested changes to the original scope of services for the project. Fred Beckmann and I are trying to get this done. I cannot do it by myself. Once the Agreement is prepared by the MPO it will have to be considered and executed by both the City and the MPO Board. So, I don't see it happening until January 2004. Resolution No. 2002-24871, dated 5/29/2002: This Interlocal Agreement was never executed to administrative changes to the Miami-Dade County process. Therefore, Resolution No. 2002-2487A dated 5/29/2002 should be made NULL AND VOID. A new-format 5-year Interlocal Agreement was executed by the City and County, pursuant to Resolution No. 2003-25236, dated 06/11/2003. Please check and you will see what I mean. Thanks!
