ANALYSIS
On April 8, 1993, the Mayor and City Commission adopted Resolution No. 93-20757,
approving a Lease Agreement (Lease) between the City of Miami Beach (City) and
Jacques Auger Design Associates, Inc. (Jacques Auger) for approximately 1585 square
feet of office on the 6th floor of Historic City Hall, located at 1130 Washington Avenue,
Miami Beach, Florida.
The initial term of the Lease was for five (5) years, commencing May 1, 1993, and ending
on April 30, 1998. The Lease also provided Jacques Auger, at its discretion, an option to
renew the Lease for an additional five (5) year term. In March 1997, the City was notified
by Jacques Auger of its intent to exercise its option to renew, commencing May 1, 1998,
and ending on April 30, 2003.
Jacques Auger has expressed interest in renewing its Lease and maintaining its offices at
Historic City Hall. Since the acquisition of the 1701 Meridian Avenue property (alkla 777
17th Street/Equity One building) for the City Hall annex, the City Administrative office needs
have been met by the vacant space in that building. At this time, the City has not identified
a need for the Jacque Auger space, and therefore, it is recommended that we continue to
lease it for private use and derive revenue from its use.
Section 82-39 of the Miami Beach City Code, governing the sale/lease of public property,
requires a competitive bidding process, a Planning Department analysis, and an
independent appraisal to determine the value of the leasehold interest; as well as a public
hearing to obtain citizen input. Section 82-39 further provides for the waiver of the public
hearing and competitive bidding requirements, by 5/7ths vote of the Mayor and City
Commission, for leases of City land of five (5) years or less, upon a finding by the Mayor
and City Commission that the public interest would be served by waiving such conditions.
Therefore, the Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission set a
public hearing on January 8, 2003, to hear public comment regarding the proposed lease
agreement between the City of Miami Beach and Jacques Auger Design Associates, Inc.,
for the use of approximately 1585 square feet of City-owned office space on the 6th floor of
Historic City Hall, located at 1130 Washington Avenue, Miami Beach, Florida, for a three
year term, commencing on May 1, 2003, and ending on April 30, 2006; and further waive,
by 5/7ths vote, the competitive bidding requirement; as required by Section 82-39 of the
Miami Beach City Code.
