Issue: Should the City Commission approve the execution of the Interlocal Agreement? Item Summary/Recommendation: During the course of the 2003/04 RDA budget approval process by Miami-Dade County, the County requested that each Community Redevelopment Area (CRA) include a 1.5% administrative fee to defray the County's costs in connection with its oversight of the CRAs (based on the County's annual Tax Increment Revenue (TIF) contribution in their respective budgets). Due to the fact that the existing bond covenants pledge all current and future increment for the repayment of outstanding bond obligations, the RDA can only remit the administrative fee at the end of the Fiscal Year, provided that the debt service and other obligations relating to the bonds have been met. The RDA budgets were subsequently modified to include a reserve expenditure line item for the administrative fee, which is calculated against the County's share of the TIF payment. In addition, Chapter 163.387(7)(a) Florida Statutes provides that the City and the County are eligible to share in any TIF Revenues not budgeted for a specific use and remaining at the end of the CRA's fiscal year in the Trust Fund. Based on this provision, the City was able to negotiate allocating 1.5% of the County's share of the TIF payment back to defray their costs and 1.5% of the City's share of the TIF payment as a contribution back to the City. The attached Interlocal Agreement between the City of Miami Beach, the RDA and Miami-Dade County serves to document the terms by which the City and the County receive their respective 1.5% allocations. It also documents the County's acknowledgement and approval of the RDA's intention to refinance all or a portion of its outstanding TIF bonds in City Center, provided that the issuance shall not exceed $101,090,000 and that such refinancing shall mature no later than December 31, 2022.

RECOMMENDATION: Adopt the Resolution. ANALYSIS: During the course of the 2003/04 RDA budget approval process by Miami-Dade County, the County requested that each Community Redevelopment Area (CRA) include a 1.5% administrative fee (based on the County's annual Tax Increment Revenue (TIF) contribution in their respective budgets). The purpose of the fee is to defray the County's costs in connection with its oversight of the CRAs. This issue, together with the Children's Trust allocation item, was brought to the attention of the Finance and Citywide Projects on December 22, 2003. However, due to the fact that the existing bond covenants pledge all current and future increment for the repayment of outstanding bond obligations, it was determined that the RDA can only remit the administrative fee to the County at the end of the Fiscal Year, provided that the debt service and other obligations relating to the bonds have been met. Similarly, the RDA negotiated to remit a like amount to the City for its use as well. The RDA budgets were subsequently modified to include a reserve expenditure line item for the administrative fee, which is calculated against the County's share of the TIF payment. In FY 03/04, the fee to the County paid by City Center will be $99,055 and $105,641 by South Pointe. As indicated in an earlier memorandum, the fees paid by the City's two redevelopment areas account for more than 75% of the fees generated by all the other redevelopment areas in Miami- Dade County. It should be noted however, that Chapter 163.387(7)(a) Florida Statutes provides that the City and the County are eligible to share in anyTIF Revenues not budgeted fora specific use and remaining at the end of the CRA's fiscal year in the Trust Fund. Based on this provision, the City was able to negotiate allocating 1.5% of the County's share of the TIF payment back to defray their costs and 1.5% of the City's share of the TIF payment as a contribution back to the City. The TIF payment back to the City represents $125,443 for City Center and $129,807 for South Pointe.
