ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution.
ANALYSIS
On January 31,2001, the Mayor and City Commission adopted Resolution No.2001-24250
approving a Lease Agreement between the City of Miami Beach (Tenant) and Gloria Miller-
Rosenthal (Landlord) for continuing the use of the property located at 1833 Bay Road,
Miami Beach, Florida (the Property). The leased Property, includes the first floor
(approximately 3232 square feet) currently housing the City's Parking Department Sign
Division, the second floor (approximately 3232 square feet) which have been used to
accommodate certain Police Department operations, and the use of the rear yard
(approximately 4,000+ square feet). The lease has a term of three years, commencing on
February 1, 2001, and expiring at midnight on January 31, 2004, subject to funding
availability, and contains a provision which allows the City to terminate the lease with a
ninety (90) day notice if funding for the lease of the Property is no longer available.
In accordance with the direction received at the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee
meeting of November 20, 2003, Police Department operations housed at the Property will
be relocated to the first floor, north wing, of Historic City Hall. The ultimate relocation of the
Parking Department Sign Division has not yet been determined but can remain on site at a
proportionate rate. It is estimated that improvements to the Historic City Hall site will be
completed by March 2004, which will extend beyond the termination date of the current
Lease Agreement.
In light of the foregoing, the City Administration has been negotiating with the Landlord. An
Agreement has been reached, and the City would, effective February 1,2004, continue to
lease the Property on a month-to-month basis on the following terms and conditions:
The City and Landlord acknowledge that the Leased Premises, which contains two
floors, contains 6,464 square feet divided equally between the first and second
floors, together with the surrounding land and parking areas.
The City agrees to pay the Landlord, as compensation for use of the Leased
Premises, the sum of Ten Thousand ($10,000) Dollars per month, plus Five
Hundred ($500) Dollars per month which represents the increase in real property
taxes and insurance (as reported by Landlord) for the years 2001 through 2003.
The City and/or Landlord may, at their sole discretion, without cause, terminate or
discontinue the use of the first floor space or the second floor space or may
terminate the entire month-to-month tenancy upon giving the other party sixty (60)
days prior written notice of its intentions.
In the event that either party chooses to terminate the use of one of the two floors of
the Leased Premises, then, in that event, the monthly rental shall be reduced
accordingly to Five Thousand ($5,000) Dollars per month, plus Two Hundred Fifty
($250) Dollars per month for real property taxes and insurance. In addition thereto, if
only one floor is being leased, the City shall be entitled to use only one-half of the
surrounding land and parking spaces.
Option to Purchase
Due to the following conditions, the Administration deemed that it may be in the City's best
interest to further consider the possibility of purchasing the property, an option already
included in the current lease agreement:
The Property is located adjacent to two (2) City-owned municipal parking lots, and
combined with same may provide the City with enhanced opportunity to develop the
site, either on its own or via a public/private venture.
In the past the City has invested approximately $ 75,000 in improvements and
upgrades to the property and the City has the opportunity to continue to take
advantage of the improvements previously made.
· There are certain accessibility upgrades that would be required if the City did
purchase the building.
As such, the City also negotiated an extended and more specific option to purchase which
includes:
The City reserving the right to purchase the property, for $986,000; the amount
equal to the average between the Landlord's asking price of $1,050,000 and the
appraised value (see attached appraisal) of $922,000
o within the next six (6) months; or
o until such time as the City notifies Landlord in writing of its intention not to
purchase; or
until such time as the Landlord enters into a binding Purchase and Sale
Contract for the sale of the Property with a pre-approved and qualified third
party, with the City reserving the right to match the amount of said offer and
purchase the Property, whichever occurs first.
in the event the Landlord enters into a binding Purchase and Sale Contract
for the sale of the Property with a pre-approved and qualified third party, and
the City does not exercise its right to purchase the Property at that time and
the Purchase and Sale is not consummated with said third party, the City's
rights to purchase the Property shall continue as provided above.
Except as herein modified, all terms and conditions of the original Lease, dated
January 31, 2001, shall remain in full force and effect.
In conclusion, the increased rental rate of $ 19.49 per square foot, as offered by the
Landlord was reportedly due to increases in Ad Valorem Property Taxes and property
insurance. However, the rate is still considered to be under that of the current market rate
for similar space, which was determined to range from approximately $22.00 to $24.00 per
square foot. Although the newly proposed rate of $19.49 per square foot is higher than
that of the $16 per square foot rate (which was negotiated as the median of $15, $16, $17
per square foot for the prior 3 year term) provided in the current Lease, a review of the
matter revealed the following:
The City will continue to be provided the use of approximately 4,000 square feet of
rear yard at no cost
The City's ability to discontinue use on a "per floor basis", and reduce the rent
proportionately, since the rental can be apportioned per floor
Based on the above, the Administration deems that the aforementioned rate of $19.49 per
square foot, which equates to ($10,500 per month) to be reasonable for the month-to-
month extension. The City will not be responsible for any other lease related costs to the
Landlord, including any costs for additional increases in Property Taxes.
Funding to cover the proposed Lease payments will be made available in both the Police
Department and Parking Department Fiscal Year 2003~2004 budgets. As stated above,
the proposed Lease Agreement provides that the City may terminate the lease, with a sixty
(60) day prior written notice.
In light of the foregoing, the Administration deems that the negotiated rate is below that of
current market value, the proposed amendment extending the Lease Agreement on a
month-to-month basis would provide the City an opportunity to complete improvements at
the alternate City-owned facilities and relocate the Police Department operations and the
Parking Department's Sign Division, and recommends approval of same.
