COMMISSION MEMORANDUM NO. 71-4p2-9 5
TO: Mayor Seymour Gelber and
Members of the City Commission DATE: October 11, 1995
FROM: Jose Garcia-Pedrosa
City Manager
SUBJECT: SPECIAL ASSE MENT LEVY-LINCOLN ROAD MANAGEMENT
DISTRICT#2
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION:
The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the attached resolution
which establishes a new assessment district to take the place of the existing Lincoln Road
Management District#1, in order to continue support for improvements to the special
assessment district to be known as the Lincoln Road Management District#2 . The services
provided have contributed to the vibrancy of the Lincoln Road area over the past year, and
will be important during the coming year,when the Lincoln Road district will be
experiencing construction during the capital improvement project.
BACKGROUND:
Property owners in the Lincoln Road area have expressed satisfaction with the services
provided during the first year of the management district. Furthermore, a majority of the
property owners support the creation of the special assessment district for a second year to
provide for security, maintenance, tram operation, marketing and related services.
The On July 26, 1995, the City Commission took action establishing the Lincoln Road
Management District#2. At that time the assessment formula, district boundaries, services
and improvements to be provided, related budgets, and preliminary assessment rolls
were presented. Since then, the Partnership has communicated with property owners and
businesses to finalize the information in anticipation of the final hearing today, at which
AGENDA kR- 2 -E
ITEM J
DATE
time the corrected assessment rolls will be adopted. In legal compliance with Chapter 170
of the Florida State Statute, the notice of the final hearing and the preliminary assessment
rolls were mailed to all property owners of record on July 14, 1995.
This is the continuation of more than four years of extensive open study, debate, and
planning with the Lincoln Road Partnership,Inc. (and it's predecessor, the Lincoln Road
Task Force),the City of Miami Beach, Miami Beach Development Corporation, and all
other interests in the Lincoln Road area. That process has always been open to the public
with most meetings publicly and/or noticed by mail. Where possible, all owners of record
of properties,business owners, and others who asked to be kept informed, have been sent
or have had hand-delivered the information bulletins and/or newsletters composed by the
Lincoln Road Partnership.
Ongoing management services will maintain the strengthening economic conditions in
"the Road" area. The following is a review of the services to be provided:
Management Services
In order to maintain the significant physical improvements planned for Lincoln Road, and
to provide other important elements for a successful residential,business and cultural
district, the multi-purpose management plan proposed when Management District#1 was
instituted will be continued.. The purpose of the management plan,which will be funded
by this district's assessments and resort tax funds,is to facilitate property and business
owner's involvement in the improvement and enhancement of the Lincoln Road area for
their own benefit as well as that of the City's and its' citizens. The management program
will enhance and expand otherwise unavailable services or service levels within the district.
Participation and baseline services provided by the City will continue.
The cost for these services is estimated to be $767,000 for the coming year. The proposed
budget and summary is attached as Exhibit A. This budget has not been increased from
the first year. Major budget categories are basically the same,with an slight increase in
marketing expenses, enabled by a cost saving in physical programs. Revenue will be
received as;$267,000, special assessments; and $500,000 , the City's resort tax collections.
Future allocations from the City of Miami Beach will be subject to availability of funds and
the overall City budget process. After construction, table tax collections and alternate
funding sources will be sought.
The district will be managed by the Lincoln Road Partnership Inc.,which has
representatives from all interests that constitute Lincoln Road. An agreement between the
City and the Partnership, similar to the Ocean Drive Management Agreement, is being
prepared.
The assessment formula, which will provide $267,000,is a blended formula based upon
linear front footage, side footage and a per square foot fee for area above the ground
floor. The formula has not changed from the first year. (Exhibit B)
CONCLUSION:
Lincoln Road is making a dramatic comeback, stimulated by improvement in the South
Beach area,but primarily based on the anticipation of an improved business environment
that is physically improved and well maintained and marketed. The success of this concept
has been proven in other cities across the nation. Lincoln Road property owners recognize
this and have proposed a plan to accomplish that vision. Service enhancements are being
funded by the owners and their tenants similar to Ocean Drive. This innovative approach
will ensure that this Lincoln Road effort creates long-term success.
The City Commission should adopt the Lincoln Road Management District Resolution after
the final public hearing.
Following the public hearing the City Commission shall meet as an equalization board to
consider the testimony of the affected property owners and shall adjust and equalize the
assessments on a basis of justice and right. Upon adoption of the attached resolution the
special assessment shall be levied and the final assessment roll shall be created.
