Ground Lease between the City of Miami Beach and the Miami City Ballet. On February 17, 1999,
the Administration presented a report on parking, identifying alternatives for the MCB to address
their parking requirements for the facility under construction at the Cultural Campus. At this
meeting, the City Commission directed the Administration to negotiate an agreement with the MCB
setting forth certain timelines and parameters to meet the MCB's legal parking requirements.
Beginning in March 1999, City staff met with representatives of the MCB to discuss the proposed
