RECOMMENDATION The Administration recommends that this be submitted for consideration through the FY 2024 budget process. A partnership with TPL and MDCPS would engage the local community and local partners to explore opportunities for private investment in capital improvements at Biscayne Beach Elementary. Phase I and Phase- II would require up to $70,000 from the City with Phase III requiring between $300,000 to $2M of City funds., As discussed in the FY 2023 Capital Budget process, It is important to note that the City's five-year capital ' improvement plan includes. $1.6 billion in unfunded needs, which will be further discussed in the upcoming FY 2024 budget process. BACKGROUND/HISTORY At the 'September 14, 2022 Commission meeting, Commissioner Rosen Gonzalez referred item C413 to the Public Safety and Neighborhoods Quality of Life Committee for a discussion regarding the Community Schoolyards Project. At the January 11, 2022 Public Safety and Neighborhood Quality of Life Meeting the discussion regarding the Community Schoolyards Project resulted in a motion requesting the submittal of an enhancement request through the FY24 budget process to pursue a' partnership with Trust for Public Land and Miami -Dade County Public Schools for a Community Schoolyard Project at Biscayne Beach Elementary School. ANALYSIS Community schoolyards, also known as green schoolyards, are open to the community after Page 913 of 1292 school hours and are designed by students, teachers and neighbors as nature -rich hubs for outdoor play, community health and climate resilience. They can include outdoor classrooms, gardens, stormwater capture, traditional playground equipment, nature play areas, trails, trees, water features, and more. More than 20 years ago, Trust for Public Land (TPL) began working with cities and school districts to reimagine what schoolyards could be. TPL starts with a participatory design process that involves students in the creation of a green schoolyard. This allows students to learn about environmental challenges and contribute to the solution. Through curriculum based on state education standards, students practice real life skills and civic engagement while becoming invested in the long-term success of the schoolyard. TPL has built more than 250 schools in a dozen communities across the country. In 2019, TPL launched an Atlanta Public Schools (APS) pilot project in partnership with Park Pride and the Urban Land Institute Atlanta office. At the end of 2022, TPL and partners at APS will have opened their 10th community schoolyard. Community Schoolyards provide the benefits of the outdoors not' just to students, but to the community as a whole. Seeing access to nature as a fundamental human need, TPL works to ensure that all community members live within a 10-Minute Walk of a park. One in three Americans — nearly 100 million people — lack access to a park within a 10-Minute walk of home. By redesigning schoolyards and making them open to the community after ,hours and on weekends, TPL is striving to put a great park within a.10-Minute Walk of 19 million Americans. TPL has mapped out park access in all urban areas across America, using data based on income, number of children and diverse households to prioritize where they work. TPL believes that time spent learning and playing in nature benefits the whole child and can help children reach their full potential. Access to safe,, natural areas can enhance children's physical and mental health, from improving .cardiovascular vitality and weight management to reducing stress and ADHD symptoms. In addition, regular access to high quality green space inspires strong connections to the natural world. TPL proposes a Scope of Work comprised of two phases: Phase I —Development of Approach and Phase 2 — Development of Consensus -Based Master Plan (Attachment A) at a combined cost between $50,000 and $70,000. If funding is made available through the FY 2024 budget process, the Administration would work with Miami -Dade County Public Schools to refine this scope. TPL estimates that it will take between 10 and 15 months to complete Phase and Phase 11. Phase III (construction) costs for similar projects developed by TPL are approximately $325,000 which excludes any stormwater considerations. Stormwater components could increase Phase III costs to as much $2M. Once the master plan is developed, and if approved by the Commission, Phase III of the project would, be subject to availability of funding in the FY 2025 or FY 2026 budget process, and implemented by the City's Capital Improvements Office TPL is'.committed to raising private funds to support student engagement and participatory design for Phase I and. Phase H. They also will work with local partners to explore other opportunities for Page 914 of 1292 private investment in capital improvements. SUPPORTING SURVEY DATA 49% of residents are satisfied or extremely satisfied with Miami Beach public schools FINANCIAL INFORMATION FY24 TPL Phase I and Phase II between $50,000 and $70,000. Phase III would require approximately $325,000 which excludes any stormwater considerations, and as much as $2 million with stormwater components. The process takes about 15-18 months to complete. TPL is committed to raising private funds to support student engagement and participatory design for Phase I and Phase 11. They also will work with local partners to explore other opportunities for private investment in capital improvements. Am ou nt(s)/Acco u nt(s): No funds are budgeted in FY 2023 to address TPL Phase I and Phase II costs between $50,000 and $70,000.

PHASE I — UNDERSTANDING OF PROJECT, COLLECTION OF INFORMATION, AND DEVELOPMENT OF APPROACH (Timeline: Within two months of agreement to proceed) In order for the TPL project team to understand the history of the project and the dynamics of the site, TPL proposes virtual meetings with lead stakeholder"s,associated with the site. In this first phase, TPL will also request any information about existing conditions of the site and community and utilize internal TPL resources to gather data'about the community to inform the development of a project approach. A key component of building trust in the proc�s2sand outco e"s',li - in the formation of a Steering Committee. It will advise the TPLrTeam/on the public outreach,process, will host public meetings, will guide design decisions as appropriate, and will establish,priorities for amenities that are eventually proposed. The responsibilities. asked of'C ommittee volunteers necessitates curating a group of five individuals who represent the broader community, are capable of spending time with TPL and the community, and are willing engage their neighbors and those they represent in productive dialog. As a starting point, TPL requests from the project point of contact a list of at least five community member who -represent the,school community. For the Phase(I the following actions are\suggested. f 1 1.Virtual \t ng-with TPL project team, city, and school to discuss expectations and approach. a. Proposed meeti`ng•.agenda may iriclud' e: • Revidw project history and confirm role of community stakeholders • City to confirm and share point of contact for project Discuss expectations 1 ': Discuss community engagement and participatory design approach • \Di`scus f 'utlirie of project schedule • Finalize next steps TPL Deliverable(s) — Meeting notes 2.

PHASE II —DEVELOPMENT OF CONSENSUS -BASED MASTER PLAN (Timeline: the following activities wilt occur within two - `te .month window from when partners agree to proceed with -more detailed,,tdrneline provided below) Information gathered during Phase I will inform the best way,to engage project stakeholders to develop a design �th t reflects the needs and desires of th ce ommunity. When developing a plan for a community gr�eenspace, TPLrelies on input and direction from an engaged and communicative community: We see resident�as experts in what their neighborhood wants and how a greensp a can reflect'the ndividual.character and culture of a community. We value the direction and adv�e of thee St\eeer; ng Committ�in refining a plan tailored to the community. The TPL`T�eam will suggest a,,framework for review and refinement by the Committee early on in the process. The framework is designed'to be flexible given conditions on the ground. At this time, propose receiving feedback from neighborhood residents and students from a local elementaryschool. We propose the following resources, the following tools, and activities to inform the1\design of he park: 1. TPL to de ev Ibp,pr ject website that will: a. Describe project partners, b. Outline schedule, c. Provide project updates, d. And be a portal to community engagement activities like surreys, etc. TPL Deliverable(s) — Website to be managed by TPL 2. Kick-off activity at local school Page 2 of 7 Page 917 of 1292 Attachment A a. TPL will introduce role of Trust for Public Land and describe the work that we do and our roles as park designers b. Also discuss importance of parks and value of open space c. And discuss purpose of project and the students' role in designing it. This may include site visit to site to go through site analysis exercises with students 3. Opinion Survey Purpose of survey is to collect feedback from the park community on what elements they want to see in the park. Survey content is developed and refined by Steering Committee. Distributed and/or online survey based on�Steering Committee agreement will be developed and printed by the TPL Team. Once,the Committee has approved final design and content, the TPL Team will offer su yr ey.online and format surveys so that they may be printed for Steering Committeemembers to distribute within the community. Survey will be open for at least two weeksStudents will be able to analyze data collected and use it for school lessons. TPL Deliverable(s): • Online survey • Paper survey (as PDF-) to be printed'by and distributed by Steering Committee 4.

Design Workshop with Local Elementary School Students TPL has had tremendous success with design workshops at each of the schools where they have.worked (Design workshops can be created to respond to a variety of sizes of student gr up,�./Entire grades or specific classes can be broken down into groups of 5-6 students who must work together to design a park as a team. The design workshop is a great opportunity for community members to engage with students. Students will be provided a large scale aerial print of the park site, budgeting worksheet, a catalog of proposed park elements to choose from, and a collection of park element templates. Students collaborate on developing a program for the park based on the budget worksheet. Students then use the park pieces to move around the aerial of the park site to determine the project's final design. Students report out on their designs at Page 3 of 7 Page 918 of 1292 Attachment A the end of the design workshop. An adult volunteer typically helps guide each student group through the design exercise. TPL would lead the in person design workshop. TPL Deliverable(s): • Aerial base map • Budgeting sheet • Catalog • Park element templates 6. Development and Presentation of Pre Based on the concepts developed in th will develop two distinct concepts teat from the student design concepts..

If n ce essary, TP.L will develop one final`conceptual site plan with representative images of features-shownqn'the park The ite.plan will be further explained in an itemized program element list, which providbs_tlie list of amenities, project descriptions, and approximate costs for each., • \TPL to provide, PDF of and large scale plots of two design concepts. 8. Final De'sig&Presentation and Celebration This is anticipated'to be an activity in the park space, school, or other community space that celebrates the completion of the design process. Rather than this be a standalone event, this may align with another community event. This will conclude TPL's role in the project. TPL Deliverable(s): • TPL to provide PDF of final concept and large scale plot of design to Steering Committee. C. PHASE III:. ADDITIONAL SERVICES TO CONSIDER Page 4 of 7 Page 919 of 1292 Attachment A Upon completion of a Steering Committee approved design concept for Wellness Park, TPL may work as an advisor in partnership with city and school in an agreed upon role that may allow TPL to see the project from design concept through construction. With the TPL Team currently proposed for the project not being local, construction management of the park project may not be efficient. As a leader in park development nationally, The Trust for Public Land is recognized for its broad experience, flexibility, and capabilities to provide a variety of services in the overall development of a park. Often TPL is utilized as a convener of partners offering a variety of services. Specific to the design and construction of a park and,specific circumstances, TPL can be contracted to serve in the following roles: f • Strategic advisor • Volunteer event organizer • Owner's representative • Project designer • Design project manager • Construction manager • Construction contract adrr If necessary, TPL can provide advice'on orga`riizing or manage,a selection process for identifying a consultant team that will evolve thedesign-concept into engineered and construction documents. Identifying an,experienced�design consultant magi elude issuing a request for proposals, organizing interviews, or coordinatingand negotiating a proposal, and contracting with the preferrreed,..c nsultan1t. At this time, is difficult,t/determine whether construction documentation is necessary and associate, d deliverables,withoufhaving a full understanding of the park design. At this time, (everything descr bed withi Phase III: Additio al Services to Consider are not a part of current \fee/,and donation t .�PLi D. COORDINATION WITH CITY AND SCHOOL While the Steering Committee is seen as the client, TPL recognizes the value of ongoing coordination with the city and school with regularly scheduled meetings and summarized progress reports proposed as a baseline way to check -in and to resolve any situations that may arise. It is anticipatedthat our regularly -scheduled check -in discussions may be via conference call. Email Updates: In order to facilitate open lines of communications throughout the process, TPL will prepare and deliver monthly updates outlining progress made and summarizing discussions, points of contention, areas of consensus, and strategies moving forward. Conference Calls: TPL also suggests regular conference calls with city and school to debrief and receive feedback on efforts to date and to discuss design decisions around which the community seems to be coalescing. These should be scheduled shortly following each public meeting. Page 5 of 7 Page 920 of 1292 Attachment A E. ASSUMPTIONS AND EXCLUSIONS The approach described above is based upon a number of factors, including: 1. The result of the Visioning exercise will be an illustrative site plan with representative images of features proposed. The drawing will document the design options with which the Steering Committee achieved agreement. 2. It is entirely possible that the resulting plan will include,more amenities and associative costs than city and school can fund based on current agreement. While TPL does not propose to include a phasing plan, prioritization exercises can inform which sections of the overall Visioning Plan should be considered by%e Steering�Committee for an 'Initial Construction Phase'. \ `� 3. The proposed schedule is dependent on,the ability of the S Bering Committee to make key decisions. The schedule may be affected if consensus cannot beleasily reached or if the Committee decides it would prefer to`u dertake additional investigaxttio.ns. 4. The public engagement process is designed to,build consensus among stakeholders. However, consensus does not -necessarily mean unanimity. At the end of -,the) process, the Steering Committee may need to -decide how to move forward given certain objections by certain stakeholders. In the rare eve t that this happens, TPL can help the Steering Committee weigh options and\express opinions about\the,best path forward. F.

Urban, suburban, and rural trails connect people to nature, recreation, schools, workplaces, and their broader neighborhood. Page 949 of 1292 PARKS Working alongside youth and community members, equitable development entities and builders, we create parks that reflect and serve local communities and connect people to nature and to each other. SCHOOLYARDS We work in partnership with students, parents, and communities to redesign and create schoolyards that are open to the public, serving as a hub for community empowerment, improved health and education, and climate resiliency. Attachment D Community Schoolyard programs are based on the need for multi -functional parks • Community Schoolyards are open to the community after school hours and are designed by the schools and community as nature -rich grounds providing opportunities for learning, play, community health, and climate resilience • School campuses are often one of the largest property owners in their respective cities and counties and have environmental conditions and features that lend themselves as community gathering places TPL works with each school's students, faculty, and surrounding community to envision, invest in, and implement a space that is utilized as an outdoor learning area during the school day and as a public park after school hours.
