Item 9ummary/Recommendation :SECOND READING / PUBLIC HEARING
Expeditiously Upgrade The Convention Center To Be Smart, Modern, Energy Efficient And Which Fits Local Context,
Supporting Data (Surveys, Environmental Scan, etc.): The 2014 Community Satisfaction Survey reported that over half
of businesses (56%) claimed that the Miami Beach Convention Center added to the success of their business. Six in ten
businesses (61%) support improvements of at least $300 million for the Miami Beach Convention Center.
On January 26, 1993, Miami-Dade County (the "County") adopted Resolution No. R-14-93, which among other things 1i)
found the "City Center Redevelopment Area" or "Redevelopment Area" to be a "blighted area" within the meaning of Part lll
of Chapter 163, Florida Statutes, and (ii) delegated to the City of Miami Beach, pursuant to Section 163.410, Ftorida
Statutes, certain powers conferred upon the County Commission as the governing body of Dade County by Part lll of
Chapter 163, Florida Statutes, with regard to the Redevelopment Area, so that the City Commission, either directly or
through its duly designated community redevelopment agency, could exercise such powers.
On February 3, 1993, the City adopted Resolution No. 93-20709, which established a community redevelopment agency
(the "Miami Beach Redevelopment Agency" or the "Agency"), and declared the members of the City Commission as the
members of the Agency. Subsequently, on February 12, 1993, the City adopted Resolution No. 93-20721, which adopted
the Agency's City Center/Historic Convention Village Redevelopment and Revitalization Area plan (the "Plan") for the
redevelopment and revitalization of the Redevelopment Area. On February 24, 1993, the City enacted Ordinance 93-2836,
which created a City Center/Historic Convention Village Redevelopment and Revitalization Trust Fund (the "Fund" or "Trust
Fund") and provided a funding mechanism for implementing the Plan. The County, on March 30, 1993, adopted Resolution
No. R-317-93, which among other things (i) adopted the Plan, and (ii) approved the lnterlocal Cooperation Agreement,
between the County and the City, dated and executed on November 16, 1993 (as amended, the "CRA lnterlocal
Agreement"). The County then enacted
The City's proposed Convention Center Renovation and Expansion Project (the "Project") is estimated to cost a total of
$582 million of which approximately $275 million will be funded from the RDA to fund a portion of such Project. ln addition,
approximately $36 million for ancillary Redevelopment Area capital projects, which are part of the existing Plan, as well as
all costs of issuance and debt service reserves associated with the 2015 Bonds (as herein after defined) and refunding of
the existing bonds are all anticipated to be part of the Project financing. The Agency intends to incur debt in an amount not
to exceed $430,000,000.00 (the "2015 Bonds") secured by tax increment revenues of the Agency.
On or around June 2014, the County and City Administrations commenced negotiations and terms of a Memorandum of
lntent (the'MOl"). On June 22,2014, the City Commission, approved Resolution No.2014-28644, which approved a
Memorandum of lntent (the "MOl"), memorializing the aforementioned terms. The County Mayor has committed to promote
and recommend the terms of the MOl, which will be incorporated into final documents-including the aforestated Plan
amendment; the proposed (third) amendment to the CRA lnterlocal Agreement; and an amended and restated CDT
lntedocal Agreement-which will be presented to the City Commission at the October 29,2014 meeting.
The first step in the process requires the City Commission to amend Ordinance No. 93-2836 as required as a condition to
the issuance of the 2015 Bonds.
First Reading of the subject item was held at the October 22,2014. Citv Commission meetino.
