FROM: Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager
DATE: July 26, 2017
SUBJECT: REPORT OF THE FINANCE AND CITYWIDE PROJECTS COMMITTEE (FCWPC) MEETING
ON FRIDAY, JUNE 5, 2017
A meeting of the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee was held on Monday, June 5, 2017 at 4:00
p.m. in the Commission Chamber, 3rd Floor of City Hall. Commissioners in attendance: Commissioners
Ricky Arriola, Joy Malakoff, and John Elizabeth Alemán. Members from the Administration and the

MEETING OPENED AT 4:05 P.M.
NEW BUSINESS
1. Discussion Regarding The Options To Be Presented By The Parks And Recreation
Department Regarding Insourcing Of North Shore Tennis
(Sponsored by Commissioner Alemán)
John Rebar, Parks and Recreation Director
ACTION
John Rebar, Parks and Recreation Director presented the item. John Rebar provided some
background as to why the item was being discussed. There is a group of tennis prof essionals
who do not have a contract with the City nor with the vendor, but are teaching some classes at
the tennis center. It has been talked about that maybe we should treat North Shore Tennis
Center differently. The Parks and Recreation department has looked at some models to in
house the operation. He presented some different models and explained what they would entail.
Three different models were presented. John Rebar said that number 1 is the most preferred
model. It gives flexibility when people take vacation and if people call in sick. Option number 2 is
a similar to option 1, but there isn’t as much flexibility with coverage. Option number 3 was just
to provide an apples to apples comparison of how the contracted vendor runs the facility.
Although they did include this as a model, it would not be feasible because it is in violation of
several personnel rules.
John Rebar said that they are really looking at option 1 and 2. He said there would be a
projected fiscal deficit in each of three models.
Commissioner Alemán said there is a $30,000 difference between option 1 and option 2. John
Rebar said the differences are that in option 1 there are 2 full time employees and 5 part time
employees and in option 2 there is 1 full time employee and 6 part time employees.
We are committed to providing excellent public service and safety to all who live, work, and play in our vibrant, tropical, historic community.

MOTION 1: Commissioner Alemán motioned to go with option 1. Commissioner Arriola said he
is in agreement.
Raul Aguila, City Attorney said in order to implement option 1, they would need to amend the
current tennis agreement deleting the scope of services for the North Shore Tennis Center.
Commissioner Malakoff said she is somewhat concerned. She said Howie Orlan has done a
great job of managing the tennis centers and she does not want him to lose anything he has put
into the center.
John Rebar said he has spoken to Howie Orlan and he is on board if this will be in the best
interest of the City. He said they would negotiate with Mr. Orlan with whatever is fair.
MOTION 2: Commissioner Alemán motioned to renegotiate the agreement with Miami Beach
Tennis. Commissioner Malakoff seconded.
Meeting adjourned at 4:13 pm.
