Resolution 2019-30853 RESOLUTION NO. 2019-30853
A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, ACCEPTING THE
RECOMMENDATION OF THE BUDGET ADVISORY COMMITTEE
AT ITS MAY 7, 2019 MEETING TO RETAIN AN INDEPENDENT
CONSULTANT TO EVALUATE THE PROPOSED PUBLIC
BENEFITS BEING OFFERED TO THE CITY, INCLUDING AN
EVALUATION OF THE VALUE CONFERRED ON THE
DEVELOPER, IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DEVELOPMENT
AGREEMENTS, AND/OR THE PROPOSED SALE, VACATION, OR
OTHER CONVEYANCE OF CITY PROPERTY.
WHEREAS, on May 7, 2019, the Budget Advisory Committee ("BAC"),
unanimously passed a motion, recommending that the City of Miami Beach (the "City"),
retain an independent consultant to evaluate the proposed public benefits being offered
to the City, including an evaluation of the value conferred on the developer, in
connection with any development agreements, and/or the proposed sale, vacation, or
other conveyance of City property; and
WHEREAS, this would serve as a basis to evaluate the value of a proposed
transaction between the City and a private developer, with the purpose of determining
the amount of public benefits to be provided by the developer, either in the form of a
contribution to the City's funds for capital improvements and/or in the form of other
intangible benefits expected from a proposed development project that involves the
participation of the City in one of the aforestated ways; and
WHEREAS, the BAC also recommended that, in each of these cases, the fee for
the independent consultant should be paid by the developer prior to commencement of
the analysis; and
WHEREAS, the proposed retention of an independent consultant is intended to
provide the City Commission with better understanding of a proposed transaction
between the City and a private developer, as well as equip the City Commission with
better ability to formulate the public benefits that the City Commission would require as
consideration for the proposed transaction; and
WHEREAS, however, should the City Manager determine that a development
agreement, and/or the proposed sale, vacation, or other conveyance of City property
would provide little to no material economic benefit to the City, then retention of an
independent consult will not be required.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT DULY RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, that the Mayor and City
Commission hereby accept the recommendation of the Budget Advisory Committee at
its May 7, 2019 meeting to retain an independent consultant to evaluate the proposed
public benefits being offered to the City, including an evaluation of the value conferred
on the developer, in connection with any development agreements, and/or the proposed
sale, vacation or conveyance of City property.
