July 30, 2003 City Commission Memorandum Grants Management Page 2 of 8 ANALYSIS Retroactive approval to submit a grant application in the amount of $500,000 to the Save America's Treasures Program, for FY 2003-2004 fundinq for the renovation of Old City Hall. The City is seeking matching grant funding to undertake a major restoration project for Old City Hall. The building is a "contributing" resource in the Miami Beach National Register Architectural District ("Art Deco" Historic District). This district is listed in the National Register of Historic Places for its national significance as the largest concentration of 1920s and 1930s era resort architecture in the United States. Old City Hall was the first locally historically designated site. Old City Hall is also a "contributing" property within the locally designated Flamingo Park Historic District. Constructed in 1927 and designed by Martin Luther Hampton, Old City Hall is an excellent example of the Mediterranean Revival style of architecture. Mediterranean Revival architecture was the "style of choice" in Miami Beach from the mid 1910s to early 1930s. It served as an elegant reminder of the unwavering determination to become America's premier seaside resort community. The building, which is the historic centerpiece of the National Register Architectural District, served as the government seat for Miami Beach from 1927 until the completion of a New City Hall in 1977. In 2002, the City contracted to have a complete structural assessment report for Old City Hall. The report revealed that the 76 year old building is in need of significant structural restoration to preserve its structural integrity and architectural features. As a consequence of this structural deterioration, several large sections of the concrete cornice at the top of the tower have fallen nearly 140 feet to the sidewalk below. Emergency safety nets have been installed as an interim measure to address the dangerous condition on the property. The structural assessment report for Old City Hall revealed the following: 1) Delaminated stucco- Throughout the surfaces of the building, approximately 40% of the stucco area has delaminated or separated from the masonry surface. This will require removal and replacement to match the surrounding original stucco work; 2) Spa/led Concrete- The steel wire lath which binds the stucco to the substrate wall has started to corrode as a result of improper water moisture protection and the harsh environmental condition (in the form of moisture from the ocean). The corrosion process of steel makes it expand, thus creating the buckling effect on the concrete/stucco, resulting in fragmentation and/or spalling. Spalling has occurred to the reinforcement steel located within the structural elements of the building (beams and columns), as observed in some of the exterior columns and cornices around the building; 3) Cracks in the stucco -Significant structural cracks are seen in several areas of the building, which appear to be attributable to the differential movement between the reinforced concrete structural frame and the masonry infill of the exterior building walls. As the different elements of the building move July 30, 2003 City Commission Memorandum Grants Management Page 3 of 8 at different rates, long, hairline cracks develop at the weakest points 4) Replacement of Windows - Most of the original wood frame windows have suffered from the salt laden ocean winds. There is a major problem with the water tightness and rotting of the wood frame members. Many of these windows have exceeded their structural life and do not conform to the regulations of the new Florida Building Code. Matching funds of 2:1 (City:State) are required for this project and will be funded, if awarded from donated services and other City Funds. 2. Retroactive approval to submit a grant application in the amount of $3,000 to Miami- Dade County Tourist Development Council for the City's Fourth of July Event Funds in the amount of $3,000 have been allocated to the City of Miami Beach for the annual 4th of July celebration. In 1991, the City of Miami Beach launched the first "An American Celebration" as a means to attract visitors to Miami Beach. This celebration, due to its grand success, was carried on subsequent years as a vehicle to continue to bring visitors to the City. To generate interest in all areas of the City, the City alternates between the North Beach community and the South Beach community. This year, the event took place at 72nd Street and Ocean Terrace and featured a Swearing-In Ceremony for children from all parts of the world who have become newly naturalized American citizens and a fireworks display. Matching funds will be funded by the City through Corporate Support. 3. Approval to submit a grant application in the amount of $25,000 to the Miami-Dade County Tourist Development Council for the City's Thanksgiving Day Parade Funds in the amount of $25,000 are also requested from the TDC to support the 2003 Nationally Televised CBS Ali-American Thanksgiving Day Parade. Once again, this year the City of Miami Beach, as part of a multi-year agreement with CBS, is proud to be the sole designated partner of the parade, which will take place in its traditional home of New York City. The Thanksgiving Day parade will feature dramatic floats with various themes reflecting the many colors that make up Miami-Dade County. Floats will be complemented by performing groups. Matching funds will be funded by the City through Corporate Support. 4. Approval to submit a grant application in the amount of $20,000 to the Miami Beach Visitors and Convention Authority as a Partner to the City to support the 2003 Nationally Televised CBS Ali-American Thanksgiving Day Parade Funds in the amount of $20,000 are requested from the Miami Beach Visitors and Convention Authority to support the 2003 Nationally Televised CBS Ali-American Thanksgiving Day Parade. Once again, this year the City of Miami Beach, as part of a multi-year agreement with CBS is proud to be the sole designated partner of the parade, which will take place in its traditional home of New York City. The Thanksgiving Day parade will feature dramatic floats with various themes reflecting the many colors that make up Miami-Dade County. No match is required.

Retroactive approval to submit a grant application in the amount of $20,000 to the Miami Beach Visitors and Convention Authority (VCA) on behalf of the La Cumbre de Turismo Event The City has applied for funding this year on behalf of the La Cumbre de Turismo event to support this important cultural event. In future years, La Cumbre de Turismo will be the applicant to the VCA, not the City. La Cumbre de Turismo is the premier travel industry conference for the Latin American buyers and U.S. product suppliers. The event will be hosted by Hertz Car Rentals, the GMCVB, SMG and the City of Miami Beach. The conference runs from September 10-13, 2003. For the past twelve years, the conference has been fully subscribed and has gained a reputation for its emphasis on quality and innovation. The 2003 La Cumbre de Turismo is expected to attract 1,500 delegates, including buyers, vendor displays, and over 100 members of the international press corp. The conference will have delegates from over 25 countries in attendance. This year's event will include cultural tourism and will merge the opening party of Le Cumbre with the opening of the 2003-4 Cultural Year by merging the Invitation to the Arts in its 10th year with the Le Cumbre event at the Jackie Gleason. In 1999, Latin America and the Caribbean represented 14.6 million ardvals and contributed $19.1 billion dollars and 279,000 jobs to the U.S. economy. Based on 2000 analyses/surveys, projected growth and general market trends, La Cumbre 2003 delegates will conduct nearly $1.4 billion in business during two days of negotiations, approximately 10% of which will remain in the Greater Miami area. No match is required for this grant. Retroactive approval to submit a grant application in the amount of $1,000,000 to State of Florida Department of Transportation for the Northern Gateway of the Atlantic Corridor Greenway Network The proposed Northern Gateway will serve as the "linkage" between three regional bicycle/pedestrian trail facilities and provide a key intermodal transportation center for the Citywide network of bicycle/pedestrian trails and alternative transportation facilities, known as the Atlantic Corridor Greenway Network. The scope of the project will include the development of a ~ mile segment of trail between the northern end of the City's existing beachfront Boardwalk at 46th Street and the Indian Beach Park at 53rd Street and the installation of a signaled pedestrian-crossing, west over Collins Avenue to the shoreline of the Indian Creek Waterway, where it will connect to the northern end of the Indian Creek Greenway. The North Beach Recreational Corridor trail, which will extend from the City's northern boundary at 87th Terrace, south to Indian Beach Park at 53rd Street (3.5 miles), is the third regional trail facility that will be connected by the Northern Gateway. Enhanced mass transit facilities, improved public parking, new public restrooms and bike/skate rental facilities are also included in the planned Northern Gateway project. July 30, 2003 City Commission Memorandum Grants Management Page 5 of 8 The bicycle/pedestrian trail facilities that will be joined by the development of the Northern Gateway interconnect area business districts, cultural/tourism centers, residential neighborhoods, parking facilities, parks, schools and the beaches. Development of the Gateway's parking and transit facility improvements will encourage greater utilization of public and alternative modes of transportation for daily commuting, lower transportation costs and free critically needed parking spaces. The alleviation of some of the traffic congestion and parking shortages within the project area will also encourage new economic development by reducing the concurrency restrictions currently limiting new development and by increasing local business utilization by residents and visitors. The project will also significantly improve bicycle/pedestrian safety by providing local residents, tourists and commuters, traffic-free connections between regional residential areas, transit & parking facilities and the primary regional destinations including business districts, cultural/tourism centers, parks and the beaches. The Project is one of the priority projects in the Miami Beach Municipal Mobility Plan and has also been incorporated within the Capital Improvements Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan.

The City of Miami Beach, as a recipient of federal funds from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is subject to the requirements of the Consolidated Plan. One of the components of the Consolidated Plan is the development of a Continuum of Care plan for the City. As part of its HUD-approved Consolidated Plan for Fiscal Years 2003-2004, the City of Miami Beach's Continuum of Care plan includes a commitment to participate in the Continuum of Care system coordinated by Miami-Dade County. In an effort to help communities throughout the country fund their continuum of care systems, HUD issues an annual Super Notice of Funding Availability (SuperNOFA) for Homeless Continuum of Care programs. For the last six funding cycles, the Miami-Dade County Homeless Trust has served as the lead agency in coordinating the application for funding to HUD. The Miami-Dade County Homeless Trust issued a Request for Applications (RFA) for project sponsors interested in providing, or continuing to provide, the priority housing and services needed. The City of Miami Beach prepared and submitted an application to Miami-Dade County under this RFA for funding of the coordination of homeless assistance to Miami Beach homeless being served through the Miami-Dade County Continuum of Care. The Administration recommends adoption of the attached Resolution of the Mayor and City Commission of the City of Miami Beach, Florida, retroactively authorizing the City Manager to apply to the Miami-Dade County 2003 SuperNOFA Consolidated Application RFA for a grant to implement a program to coordinate supportive services to Miami Beach homeless through the Continuum of Care System in Miami-Dade County.
