ADMINISTRA TION RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution setting the public hearing on June 18, 1997.
BACKGROUND:
Based on Commission direction, the Administration has been working on the various elements ':0
create a cultural center in the vicinity of Collins Park. This involves siting the Miami City Ball ~t
along with the library in the area immediately north of Collins Park.
The Ballet has a State grant of$500,000 which hinges on the Ballet having proof of site control. The
Ballet currently has a lease with the City of Miami Beach on the east side of Convention Centl~r
Drive adjacent to TOP A. The lease must be modified to reflect the new site.
AGENDA ITEM
99
ANALYSIS:
City Ordinance No. 92-2783, (the Shapiro ordinance) requires a public hearing to consider public:
comment as to the potential lease of City property. As the proposed amendment to the curren:
ground lease between the City and the Ballet is proposing a site change to the Collins Park area, the
City Attorney h.as opined that such a substantive change would require the aforestated complialcl ..
with the Shapiro Ordinance set for consideration ofleasing or substantive change to existing lease:
of City-owned property.
CONCLUSION:
The City Commission should approve the attached Resolution.
