Re: Commission Agenda Item: Miami Beach Convention Center Redevelopment
Please place a discussion item on the May 8, 2013 City Commission meeting agenda which
would direct the City Attorney's Office to prepare two (2) ballot questions regarding the above
referenced Project as follows:
1. Ballot Question #1--asking whether the City should enter into an agreement (or
agreements) with the selected Master Developer in the Project for the development of
what we have referred to as the "Base Case;" that is for the development of just the
Convention Center improvements (including the ballroom) and the hotel; and (as an
alternative to Ballot Question #1)
2. Ballot Question #2-asking whether the City should enter into an agreement(s) with the
selected Developer for the development of the "Base Case", AND the additional
components proposed by the Developer, which also contemplate the lease and
development of City property with the Project site for additional uses, including retail,
entertainment, and residential uses.
I am requesting the city attorney draft ballot language based on the above for further discussion
and consideration by the City Commission at a subsequent meeting. Final ballot language, when
approved by the City Commission, should be placed on a City-wide ballot to accommodate the
Project schedule.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Should you have any questions, please contact Gabrielle Redfern at Extension 6157.
