ANALYSIS
On November 5, 1996, the Citizens of Miami-Dade County approved a $200 million bond issue
to improve neighborhood and regional parks. The Primary goal of the bond program was to
promote neighborhood safety, reduce juvenile crime and improve quality of life. The City of
Miami Beach applied for and was awarded funding in the amount of $2.1 million for North
Shore Open Space Park Project in this bond issue. The City Commission authorized the
application of this grant funding on December 16, 1998 (Resolution No. 98-23009). The bond
was issued in 1999, and the expiration date for use of this funding is November 2004.
The North Shore Open Space Project is moving forward and phases I and II of the project
have been completed. Currently the City is completing the permitting process for the
demolition of existing facilities and the construction of the new facilities. The new construction
consists of three restroom pavilion combinations, landscaping, a tot lot and auxiliary facilities.
Project expenses include construction costs, a 10% construction contingency which will be
added to the project budget, and soft costs for Program Management and CIP Management of
the bidding and construction portions of the project. The project duration is estimated at six
(6) months construction with a start date of late Mayor early June 2004. The remaining
portion of the funding in the amount of $200,000 would be available for the proposed transfer
of funds.

In anticipation of the November deadline for use of these funds, the City proposes transferring
funds in the amount of $200,000 from the North Shore Open Space Park Project to the City's
North Beach Recreational Corridor Project. In order to do so, the City Commission is required
by the Safe Neighborhood Parks Bond regulations to hold a public hearing for a change in
scope/budget of the project. Once approved at public hearing, the proposed changes will be
presented to the Safe Neighborhood Parks Bond (SNPB) Oversight Committee for approval,
and upon approval by the SNPB Oversight Committee, the proposed changes will then be
presented to the Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners for final approval.
The North Beach Recreational Corridor Project, which is also funded In part with SNPB funds,
is currently under construction. It is anticipated that, with the transfer of $200,000 in additional
funding, this project will utilize the funding prior to the November 2004 deadline.
On April 28, 2004, the Administration presented the proposed changes to a Sub-Committee of
the Safe Neighborhood Parks Bond Committee (Safe Neighborhood Parks Citizens' Oversight
Committee Monitoring, Auditing & Administrative Rules Sub-Committee) to obtain preliminary
feedback from the Sub-Committee prior to commencing the process. The Sub-Committee
unanimously approved a motion to recommend approval of the proposed changes to the full
SNPB Oversight Committee at the June 2004 meeting.
CONCLUSION
The Administration is therefore requesting that a Public Hearing be held at the May 26, 2004
City Commission meeting to approve the transfer of $200,000 from the North Shore Open
Space Park Project to the North Beach Recreational Corridor Project.
