COMMISSION ITEM SUMMARY
Condensed Title:
IA Resolution to approve and authorize a five-year Interlocal Agreement with Miami-Dade County, which
permits the operation of the Electrowave Shuttle Service in Miami Beach. The Interlocal Agreement is
required by the County Code.
Issue:
Shall the City enter into a new Interlocal Agreement with the County for the Electrowave operations?
Item Summary/Recommendation:
The original agreement expired March 23, 2002. The Electrowave has been operating under a"Temporary
Emergency Passenger Motor Carrier Certificate of Transportation," which is effective for 120 days, until the
required Agreement can be executed by both parties. Miami-Dade County has proposed a new Interlocal
Agreement which includes a five-year (5-year) term plus three (3) one-year options to renew, as compared
to the original document, which lasted a combined total of four years. The proposed longer term is most
advantageous to both parties. In addition, the Agreement includes the following clauses: termination for
cause (30-day notice), and termination for convenience (60-day notice). Without this Interlocal Agreement,
the shuttle services operator will not be able to obtain a Certificate of Operation from Miami-Dade and the
shuttle services will have to be discontinued. The Administration recommends approval.
Advisory Board Recommendation:
N/A. This Interlocal Agreement is a requirement of the Miami-Dade County Code.

ANALYSIS
In order for the City of Miami Beach to operate the Electrowave (EW) Shuffle Service, on
March 23, 1998, the City Commission approved and executed a required Interlocal
Agreement with Miami-Dade County. The original Agreement expired March 23, 2002.
Since then, three (3) "Temporary Emergency Passenger Motor Carrier Certificates of
Transportation" have been issued, until a new Interlocal Agreement is approved and
executed by both parties. The following are noticeable elements of the proposed
Agreement:
[] It includes a five-year term, plus three additional one-year options to renew.
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.
[] It omits all references to the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), since the City of
Miami Beach has become a "designated recipient" of FTA funds, independent of Miami-
Dade Transit (MDT). This means that the City will submit funding applications directly
to FTA, and receive reimbursements for shuffle capital expenditures from FTA.
The Office of Public Transportation Management (OPTM) has notified the City that the
County will not allow the shuttle service to proceed if the required Interlocal Agreement is
not executed, by the City as soon as possible. The Administration recommends approval of
the ~on.
