BACKGROUND
Since May 2016, the Foundation has operated an Adaptive Beach Day program, serving over
600 unique visitors including Miami Beach, Miami-Dade and Broward residents as well as
tourists from abroad. Visitors have included persons with physical and cognitive disabilities,
including seniors living with disabilities, veterans, and children with special needs. The program
has volunteers ranging from high school students, college students, and physical therapy
students to locals. Each Beach Day is consistently averaging approximately 100 visitors, with
25-40 disabled participants. ln the last year, the Foundation has had over 800 individuals sign-in
for an Adaptive Beach Day. More information on the Foundation and its Leadership can be

At the March 22,2017 City Commission meeting, a discussion on a possible arrangement with
the Sabrina Cohen Foundation, lnc., a Florida not-for-profit corporation (the "Foundation"), for
the construction and operation of a City-owned adaptive recreation center at a portion of the
City's "P72'surface parking lot located at 53'd Street and Collins Avenue (the "Facility"), was
referred to the Finance & Citywide Projects Committee by Commissioner Joy Malakoff.
The Foundation's concept for the Facility, which would be a City-owned building under the aegis
of the City's Parks and Recreation Department, representsthe Foundation's attemptto (1) build
on the successful implementation of the adaptive beach days that provide disabled persons with
the ability to enjoy the City's beaches; and (2) respond to the main community concerns and
objections raised with respect to an earlier proposed project at a different location, Allison Park.
There is precedent in the City for similar arrangements involving not-for-profits. The City
partnered with the Boys and Girls Club for the construction of a facility in Flamingo Park to offer
programming for children. The City entered into a Management Agreement with Unidad in
connection with the construction and operation of a senior citizen center in Bandshell Park in
North Beach.
The Administration conducted its first phase of community outreach inviting the three
neighboring condominiums to a public inpuUinformational meeting on April 17,2017, where City
Staff, Sabrina Cohen and Miami Beach Residents discussed the location and operation of the
potential Center. One of the top concerns for the residents was available parking at lot P72.
Residents voiced their concern over insufficient parking and that the Center should be built at a
different other location. The Parking Department was asked to provide data regarding P72
usage. Parking survey data shows P72has 139 park spaces and on average 53o/o of the lot is
empty.
At the April 21 ,2017 Finance and Citywide Projects Committee ("Finance Committee"), this item
was discussed and direction was given for the City to continue to develop an agreement.
At the July 26, 2017 City Commission meeting, following public input and discussion, the Mayor
and City Commission endorsed the concept for the Center, and referred the proposed
Agreement to the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee ("Finance Committee") for further
review and comment.
At the July 28, 2Q17 Finance Committee meeting, the Finance Committee discussed the terms
of the proposed Agreement, provided additional direction to the Administration and City
Attorney's Office with regard to proposed terms for the Agreement, and provided the public with
an additional opportunity to comment on the proposed Agreement.
At the July 28, 2017 Finance Committee meeting, the Finance Committee requested additional
terms or clarifications to the Agreement, including the following:
(i) The Facility shall not be used as a hall for hire, banquet hall or similar venue;
No alcohol sales shall be permitted at the Facility (provided, however, that the
Foundation may serve alcoholic beverages as part of fundraisers that may take
place at the Center from time to time);
(iii) Clarifying requirements related to the Foundation's concept design submittals,
which shall be subject to City Commission approval, and which shall specifically
include landscaped, vegetative green roof elements for the Facility, and ensure
that access to the beach is not blocked;
(i i)
6
(iv) Milestones and timeline for the Foundation to conduct its fund-raising for the
project, based on the Concept Plan approved by the City Commission, with a
fundraising period of three years following the City Commission's approval of the
Concept Plan, and with the City retaining the right to terminate the agreement in
the event the milestones are not achieved;
(v) City to retain the ability to close the Center for up to fourteen (14) days per year
to accommodate high impact City-wide events, such as the annual boat show;
and
(vi) The City Manager or his or her designee to serve as a voting member on the
Foundation's Board of Directors.
PROPOSED AGREEMENT TERMS
The proposed Agreement, as revised to incorporate the comments provided by the Finance
Committee on July 28,2017 and September 20,2017, includes the following key terms, among
other negotiated revisions:
o The Foundation, as a public charity, will raise 100o/o of the funding required for the
design, development and construction of a City-owned Facility, with no Gity funds
used for the development of the Facility.
r The City would not proceed with the design and construction of the Facility until the
Foundation has raised sufficient funds for design and construction, and has
transferred such funds to the City. Within six months following the execution of the
Agreement, the Foundation shall submit a draft concept plan, including a proposed
operating plan with sufficient detail to enable the City to accurately estimate the
construction costs, the costs of FF&E, and the operation and maintenance costs of
the Facility.
o The City would be the owner of the Facility, with the primary purpose of providing
the general public and specifically, persons with physical and cognitive disabilities,
including seniors living with disabilities, and able-bodied individuals with temporary
injuries, with an accessible access point to the beach and related beach
programming. ln the event the Foundation is unable to operate the Center, the City
will exercise good faith efforts to identify another qualified vendor to assume the
maintenance and programming obligations for the Center, and in the event the City is
unable to secure an agreement with another qualified vendor, the Center shall be
used for the most closely related Parks Department purposes, which may include
general wellness programming, in combination with beach accessibility
programming.
o The Foundation's proposed concept design ("Concept Plan") shall be subject to City
Commission approval (in addition to approvals required by applicable regulatory
boards). At a minimum, the Concept Plan shall include landscaped, vegetative
"green" roof elements, and shall ensure public access to the beach is not blocked.
The Foundation will submit a draft of its concept plan, and a proposed operating
plan, within six (6) months following the execution of the Agreement.
o Following City Commission approval of the Concept Plan, the Foundation agrees to
a schedule of fundraising thresholds and deadlines based upon the cost estimates
associated with the Concept Plan (i.e. 25o/o of funds raised by end of year one
following City Commission's approval of the Concept Plan; 50% by end of year two
following City Commission's approval of the Concept Plan; and 100% by end of year
7
three following City Commission's approval of the Concept Plan). The City may
terminate the agreement if any of the foregoing deliverables and deadlines are not
met, following a notice and thirty (30) day cure period.
o The Facility would be located on a portion of the P72 surtace parking lot adjacent to
Beach View Park, with a footprint of approximately 5,000 square feet, and a
maximum of two stories (for a total of approximately 10,000 square feet). The final
location of the Facility within the P72 Lot shall be determined by the City
Commission as part of the design development process.
o The Facility would not impact any greenspace, and would be designed and
developed with the intent of minimizing impacts to parking spaces. The City shall
further have the right to close the Facility for up to fourteen (14) days per year to
accommodate high impact City-wide special events (such as the boat show).
o ln no event shall the Facility be used as a hal! for hire, banquet hall, or similar
third-party venue rental, or for the sale of alcoholic beverages'
o lf the Foundation raises the funding and the Facility is built, the Foundation would
also manage and operate the Center on the City's behalf, for a term of nine (9)
years. (The Foundation has offered a nine (9) year term for its management of the
Center, reduced from the original proposal of a term of nine years and 364 days).
o All operational and maintenance costs would be the responsibility of the Foundation
(except for capital repairs, if any, which shall be the responsibility of the City, in the
same manner as the City would ordinarily provide for other City-owned facilities, and
comparable to terms of other City management agreements with non-profit
organizations, such as City's agreement with Unidad or the Miami Design
Preservation League).
o The City retains broad rights to terminate the Agreement for its convenience,
including, without limitation, if the Foundation fails to achieve its fundraising
milestones within the time specified in the Agreement.
. The City Manager or his or her designee shall be a voting member of the
Foundation's Board of Directors.
lf the City Commission decides to accept the Foundation's proposal, then the City Manager
recommends the waiver of the formal competitive bidding requirements with respect to the
Foundation's management of the Facility, for a term of nine (9) years. Specifically, if the Facility
is constructed, it would be in the best interest of the City to permit the Foundation to manage
and operate the Facility for a term of nine (9) years, in view of (i) the Foundation's successful
implementation of adaptive beach programming in Miami Beach, and (ii) the financial
commitments the Foundation is undertaking to raise all of the funds for the design and
construction of the project, as well as the maintenance and operation of the Facility (other than
capital repairs, which will be the City's responsibility as the owner of the Facility).
Finally, it must be noted that the proposed Agreement does not guarantee a project. Rather,
the Agreement outlines the framework for the City and Foundation to further develop the project,
and specifically, for the Foundation to conduct the fund-raising that will be required for the
project, with initial milestones for progress and funding of the project.
