SUBJECT: AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH AND MIAMI BEACH
DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION FOR THE LINCOLN ROAD
REVITALIZATION PROGRAM AND RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI BEACH REQUESTING REIMBURSEMENT FROM ANTICIPATED
FUTURE SPECIAL ASSESSMENT BOND FUNDS TO PAY FOR EXPENSES
INCURRED AS PART OF THE LINCOLN ROAD REVITALIZATION
PROGRAM
Administration Recommendation:
The Administration recommends that the City Commission approve the
Agreement for the Lincoln Road Revitalization Program and approve
the attached resolution authorizing reimbursement of expenses from
the anticipated bond issue to be issued in the future for Lincoln
Road Revitalization improvements.
Background:
The City of Miami Beach, the Miami Beach Development Corporation
and the Lincoln Road Task Force have been working over the past
year to undertake a Lincoln Road Revitalization program which
consists of, amongst other things, the retention of a consultant
team to develop a Phase I program of design, physical improvements,
and marketing and management recommendations for Lincoln Road and
the development of a Lincoln Road Revitalization effort with the
Lincoln Road Task Force and the Lincoln Road Director. To date, a
consultant team has been selected and contract negotiations are
being finalized to retain Benjamin Thompson & Associates/Forest
City Ratner. Christine Burdick from Oak Park, Illinois, has been
hired by the City of Miami Beach as the Lincoln Road Director.
Significant consensus and team building has been achieved on
Lincoln Road so that decisions can be made and actions can be taken
which will help to crystalize the future development and rebirth of
Lincoln Road.
Analysis:
At this time it is necessary for the City of Miami Beach to enter
into agreement with the Miami Beach Development Corporation to
outline the duties and responsibilities of each of the parties and
set forth in greater detail the services to be performed by MBDC in
regards to the Lincoln Road program. City staff, the Miami Beach
Development Corporation, representatives of the Lincoln Road Task
Force and the Lincoln Road Director have all worked together to
develop the attached agreement for the Lincoln Road Revitalization
program. This agreement sets forth the responsibilities of all
parties as it relates to the implementation of the consultant team
efforts and the development and coordination of the revitalization
effort with the task force and the City's Lincoln Road Director. 1

Additionally, the City of Miami Beach has agreed to advance funds
to pay for a portion of this effort. These funds include
approximately $75, 000 to match the $75, 000 o f CDBG funds which the
Miami Beach Development Corporation has received to pay for the
consultant team study; the cost of the salary of the Lincoln Road
Director, estimated at $60, 000 for the first year; and certain
costs related to the operations of the Lincoln Road Director and
the establishment of a viable Lincoln Road Revitalization Program,
estimated not to exceed $50, 000 in the first year. The Lincoln
Road Task Force, Miami Beach Development Corporation and the City
of Miami Beach have agreed that all eligible expenses incurred by
the City for these activities would be reimbursed from the proceeds
of a future bond issue for the revitalization of Lincoln Road. At
this point, it is anticipated that all or a portion of the bond
proceeds would be paid from Special Assessments to the Lincoln Road
property owners. The specific formula and percentage calculations
regarding the use of Special Assessments remains to be determined
by the Lincoln Road Task Force at a future date. In order to
ensure that the City can be reimbursed for its expenses, it is
necessary at this point in the process to pass the attached
resolution which declares the City's intent to reimburse itself
from the proceeds of the debt to be issued in the future.
Conclusion:
It is recommended that the City Commission approve the attached
Agreement for the Lincoln Road Revitalization program and
accompanying resolution enabling reimbursement for all expenses to
be incurred for this program.

This -is a report of the agreements reached by the Lincoln Road Task Force during its full-day
workshop held on Saturday, March 28, 1992, intended to design a planning process that will lead
to the further revitalization of the Lincoln Road area
The workshop, facilitated by the Resource Team for the International Downtown Association,
followed a day of interviews during which more than 150 people participated in a series of individual
and small group sessions intended to examine perceptions and identify assets of Lincoln Road, its
problems, and concerns about any planning process to move forward in the future
Meetings were convened with representatives of property owners, retail merchants and tenants,
artists and cultural institutions, public administrators and officials, the Chamber of Commerce,
residents and other interested citizens. Based upon these interviews the resource team prepared an
agenda which served as the basis for the discussions and agreements which were reached at the
Saturday workshop.
STREMGTHS PROBLEMS
During the interviews,which took place on Friday, workshop participants identified many positive
assets as well as problem areas. The following were identified by a majority of the participants:
U Location, Location,Location ❑ No Shared Vision
U Parking Availability U Inadequate Access and Exposure
• Existing Mass of Commercial Space ❑ Absence of Retail Uses
U Improving Neighborhood Demographics U Physical Deterioration
U Cultural and Artistic Use ❑Inadequate Repairs and Maintenance
U Diversity of Architecture ❑Insufficient Linkage to Hotels, Convention Center
U History and World Renown Performing Arts Theater,South Beach and Residences

that only an approach which addresses many of these problems will have the best chance of helping the area reach its
potential and build on its many assets.

q �
Lincoln Road's needs in the following manner:

Convention Center, hotel district and Ocean Drive)
V Operating with a common set of rules(zoning,use restrictions, shopping hours, etc.)
V With an increased presence of retail uses; Coordinated by a single management organization
V Serving as the center and connecting point for"a world class city"
Members of the Task Force added that Lincoln Road should be a place for
Miami Beach residents, area workers, and tourists and visitors to shop, eat, be entertained
and experience a special artistic environment.
