following month. Landlord shall not be liable in the event of
any interruption in the supply of any utilities. Tenant agrees

overload the capacity of any utility facilities serving the
Premises and that if any equipment installed by Tenant shall

installed at Tenant's expense in accordance with plans and
specifications approved in advance in writing by Landlord.

Building are partially or totally destroyed by fire, flood or
-7-
other casualty through no fault of Tenant,
provisions shall apply:
the following
18.1. Destruction of Premises. In the event that the
Premises are destroyed fully or partially by such casualty,
Landlord shall cause the Premises to be restored to the prior
existing condition provided that the same can be reasonably
accomplished as determined by Landlord within 180 days. Due
allowance shall be made for a reasonable time necessary for
Landlord to adjust the loss with the insurance companies insuring
the Premises at the time of-the casualty, and due allowance is to
be made for delay occasioned by strikes, lock-outs, permitting
and other conditions beyond the control of Landlord. In the
event the Premises cannot be reasonably repaired and restored
within 180 days, then Landlord shall have the option, at
Landlord's sole discretion, to either rebuild the Premises
(provided that the same shall be completed in any event within
one (1) year following the casualty, subject to acts of God or
other causes beyond Landlord's reasonable control) or Landlord,
at its sole option, may relocate the Tenant to different space
within the Redevelopment Area (being the area south of 6th Street
in the City of Miami Beach) in accordance with the terms of
Section 38.11 of this Lease upon notice to Tenant. Tenant shall
have no right to possession of the Premises during the period
Landlord is making the repairs nor shall Tenant have any right to
any proceeds of Landlord's casualty insurance.

Tenant within the "Redevelopment Area" (being the area south of
6th Street in the City of Miami Beach) in accordance with the
terms of Section 38.11 of this Lease within 180 days after such
event.
18.3. Rent Abatement. Should the Premises, or portion
thereof, be rendered untenantable by reason of damage or
destruction thereof by fire, wind, flood, or other casualty not
caused by or the responsibility of Tenant, the Rent shall abate
in proportion to the areas of the Premises rendered untenantable
from the date of such event up to the date of the restoration of
the Premises, or termination of this Lease at Landlord's option.
Landlord, its agents, servants and employees and contractors
shall have the right to enter upon the Premises and remain
thereon for the purpose of restoring the Premises.

shall be appropriated and taken for any public use by virtue of
eminent domain or condemnation proceedings, or if by reason of
any law or ordinance the use of the Premises for the purposes
provided for in this Lease shall be unlawful, Landlord shall have
the right to terminate this Lease upon 30 days written notice to
Tenant, and the Rent shall be paid only through the date that
Tenant surrenders possession of the Premises. Any Rent paid in
-8-
advance beyond such date shall be returned by Landlord to Tenant.
Landlord shall have the right to all proceeds received as a
result of such eminent domain or condemnation proceedings;
provided that Tenant shall be entitled to seek such separate
award as may be designated for Tenant's loss of this leasehold
provided further that Tenant's award does not reduce the damages
payable to Landlord. A sale by Landlord to any authority having
the power of eminent domain, either under threat of condemnation
or while condemnation proceedings are pending, shall be deemed a
taking under the power of eminent domain for all purposes under
this Section.
20. Assignment and Sublet. Tenant shall not, directly
or indirectly, (i) sublet the Premises or permit the use of the
same or any part thereof by anyone other than Tenant or (ii)

interest or benefit therein, without the prior written consent of

discretion.

following events shall constitute a default under this Lease on
the part of Tenant:

of the Lease Year in question or any other Rent as required under
this Lease when due, or any cost, expense, or tax due in addition
thereto.
21.2. Tenant fails to fully and promptly perform any act
required of it hereunder or to otherwise comply with any term or

(1) Landlord shall give notice of such

fees, as Landlord shall incur in connection with such
termination.

termination of this Lease shall reinstate, continue, or extend
the Lease Term, affect any notice previously given by Landlord to
Tenant, or operate as a waiver of the right of Landlord to
enforce the payment of Rent.
22.5. If Landlord shall terminate this Lease,

Landlord

22.6. In the event of any re-entry and/or dispossession by
summary proceedings or otherwise without termination of this
Lease:
(1) All Rent shall become due and shall be paid
up to the time of such re-entry and/or dispossession, together
with such expenses, including attorneys' fees, as Landlord shall
incur in connection with such re-entry and/or dispossession by
summary proceedings or otherwise;
(2) All Rent for the remainder of the Lease Term
may be accelerated and due in full; and
(3) Landlord may relet all or any part of the
Premises, either in the name of Landlord or otherwise, for a term
or terms which may, at Landlord's option, be equal to, less than,
or greater than the period which would otherwise have constituted
the balance of the Lease Term. In connection with such
reletting:
-10-
(4) Tenant or Tenant's representative shall pay,
as additional Rent, to Landlord, as they are incurred by
Landlord, such reasonable expenses as Landlord may incur in
connection with reletting, including, without limitation, legal
expenses, attorneys' fees, brokerage conunissions, and expenses
incurred in altering, repairing, and putting the Premises in good
order and condition and in preparing the Premises for reletting;
(5) Tenant or Tenant's representative shall pay
to Landlord, in monthly installments on the due dates for Rent
payments for each month of the balance of the Lease Term, the
amount by which any Rent payment exceeds the net amount, if any,
of the rents for such period collected on account of the
reletting of the Premises; any suit brought to collect such
amount for any month or months shall not prejudice in any way the
rights of Landlord to collect the deficiency for any subsequent
month or months by a similar action or proceeding;
(6) At Landlord's option exercised at any time,
Landlord shall be entitled to recover inunediately from Tenant, in
addition to any other proper claims, but in lieu of and not in
addi tion to any amount which would thereafter become payable
under the preceding subsection, a sum equal to the amount by
which (a) the sum of the Rent for the balance of the Lease Term,
discounted at a reasonable rate selected by Landlord to its then-
present worth, exceeds (b) the net rental value of the Premises,
discounted at the same rate to its then-present worth, for the
balance of the Lease Term. In determining such net rental value
of the Premises, the rent realized by any reletting of the
Premises, if such reletting is upon terms (other than rental
amounts) generally comparable to the terms of this Lease, shall
be deemed to be such net rental value; and
(7) At Landlord's option, Landlord may make such
alterations and decorations in or upon the Premises as Landlord,
in Landlord's sole judgment, considers advisable and necessary
for the purpose of reletting the Premises; the making of such
alterations and decorations shall not operate or be construed to
release Tenant from liability under this Section; the cost of all
such alterations and decorations shall be paid by Tenant to
Landlord as additional Rent~
(8) Landlord shall have, receive, and enjoy as
Landlord's sole and absolute property, any and all sums collected
by Landlord as rent or otherwise upon reletting the Premises
after Landlord shall resume possession of the Premises as
provided by this Lease, including, without limitation, any
amounts by which the sum or sums so collected shall exceed the
continuing liability of Tenant under this Lease. If Landlord
shall have accelerated Rent payments and collected same from
Tenant, and subsequently shall have relet the Premises, then
Landlord, after deducting all costs related to reletting,
including, but not limited to, those described or anticipated in
this Section, shall pay to Tenant the amount remaining which is
-11-
collected as Rent for each month, to the extent Landlord shall
have previously received the Rent for such month from Tenant.
(9) Landlord and Tenant agree that after the
cormnencement of suit for possession of the Premises or after
final order or judgment for the possession of the Premises,
Landlord may demand, receive, and collect any monies due or
coming due without in any manner affecting such suit, order, or
judgment. All such monies collected shall be deemed to be
payments on account of the use and occupation of the Premises,
or, at the election of Landlord, on account of Tenant's liability
under this Lease.
(10) The words "re-enter" and "re-entry", as used
in this Section, are not and shall not be restricted to their
technical legal meaning, but are used in the broadest sense.
(11) Tenant waives all rights of redemption which
may otherwise be provided by any legal requirement in the event
that Landlord shall, because of the occurrence of a default by
Tenant, obtain possession of the Premises under legal
proceedings, or pursuant to present or future law or to the terms
and conditions of this Lease.
(12) Landlord, in addition to other rights and
remedies it may have, shall have the right to (a) keep in place
and use all of the furniture, fixtures, and equipment in the
Premises, including that which is owned by or leased to Tenant,
and (b) to remove all or any part of Tenant's property from the
Premises and any property removed may be stored in any public
warehouse or elsewhere at the cost of and for the account of
Tenant. Landlord shall not be responsible for the care or
safekeeping of such property, whether in transport, storage or
otherwise. Tenant waives any and all claim against Landlord for
loss, destruction. damage or injury which may be occasioned by
any of the aforesaid acts. Tenant shall be liable to Landlord
for costs incurred by Landlord in connection with any storage,
transport or other acts anticipated in this Section and shall
hold harmless and indemnify Landlord from all loss, damage, cost,
expense and liability in connection therewith. Landlord shall
also have the right to relinquish possession of all or any
portion of such furniture, fixtures, equipment and other property
to any person ("Claimant") claiming to be entitled to possession
thereof who presents to Landlord a copy of any instrument
represented to Landlord by Claimant to have been executed by
Tenant (or any predecessor of Tenant) granting Claimant the right
under various circumstances to take possession of such furniture,
fixtures, equipment or other property, without the necessity on
the part of Landlord to inquire into the authenticity of
instrument's copy of Tenant's or Tenant's predecessor's signature
thereon and without the necessity of Landlord making any nature
of investigation or inquiry as to the validity of the factual or
legal basis upon which Claimant purports to act i and Tenant
agrees to indemnify and hold Landlord harmless form all cost,
-12-
expense, loss, damage and liability incident to Landlord's
relinquishment of possession of all or any portion of such
furniture, fixtures, equipment or other property to Claimant. No
re-entry or taking possession of the Premises by Landlord shall
be construed as an election on Landlord's part to terminate this
Lease unless a written notice of such intention is given to
Tenant. Notwithstanding any such re-letting without termination,
Landlord may at all times thereafter elect to terminate this
Lease for such previous default. Any such re-entry shall be
allowed by Tenant without hindrance, and Landlord shall not be
liable in damages for any such re-entry, or guilty of trespass or
forcible entry.
(13) Landlord shall be entitled, without notice or
bond, to the issuance of pre-judgment writs of replevin, pre-
judgment distress writs, attachment writs, break open orders,
orders authorizing the locking of the Premises to protect
Landlord's lien on personal property, fixtures and equipment, and
such other orders as may be issued by a court of law or equity.
Landlord shall have the right to take possession as allowed under
Florida law. The remedies described herein are cumulative and in
addition to and without waiver of all remedies allowed Landlord
by this Lease or by case law, common law and statute now or
hereinafter in effect. Tenant agrees that the rights and
remedies granted Landlord are commercially reasonable.
23. Cure of Tenant's Breach. If Tenant breaches any
covenant or condition of this Lease, Landlord may, on reasonable
notice to Tenant (except that no notice need be given in case of
emergency), cure such breach at the expense of Tenant and the
reasonable amount of all expenses, including attorneys' fees,
incurred by Landlord in doing so (whether paid by Landlord or
not) shall be deemed Rent payable on demand.
24. Mechanics' Liens. In accordance with the applicable
provisions of the Florida Construction Lien Law, Florida Statutes
3713.10, no interest of Landlord whether personally or in the
Premises shall be subject to liens for the Alterations or other
improvements made by Tenant or caused to be made by Tenant under

respect to the Alterations or other improvements made or caused
to be made by Tenant under this Lease, shall promptly notify the
contractor making such improvements to the Premises of this
provision exculpating Landlord's liability for such liens. In the
event that a claim of lien is filed against the Premises in
connection with any work performed by or on behalf of Tenant,
Tenant shall satisfy such claim within ten days from the date of
filing. In the event that Tenant fails to satisfy such claim
within such ten day period, Landlord may thereafter charge
Tenant, as additional Rent, all costs incurred by Landlord in
connection with the satisfaction of such claim, including
attorneys' fees. Further, Tenant agrees to indemnify, defend and
save Landlord harmless from and against any damage or loss
incurred by Landlord as a result of any such claim of lien.

interest, or assignee of any mortgage upon Landlord's interest in
the Premises.

Lease or the performance of any act pursuant to the provisions

creating between Landlord and Tenant, the relationship of
principal or agent or of partnership or of joint venture, and the
relationship between them shall be that only of Landlord and
Tenant.

herein to the contrary, provided such cause is not due to the
willful act or neglect of Landlord, Landlord shall not be deemed
in default with respect to the performance of any of the terms,

invasion, rebellion, hostilities, military or usurped power,
sabotage, governmental regulations or controls, inability to

other cause beyond the control of Landlord.

otherwise required hereunder. Evidence of the existence of such
waiver will be furnished by either party to the other party on
request.
32. Insurance Rate Adjustment. If, as the result of any
act or neglect of Tenant, its invi tees, agents, employees, or

balance, if any, of the actual amount. Landlord is not obligated

shall pay Tenant's Percentage Share of such actual amount once a
final determination is made together with the reasonable fees and
costs (including the fees and costs of attorneys, accountants,
appraisers and other professionals) incurred by Landlord in
connection with the challenge thereof.

THE LEASE BETWEEN 711 DECO, INC. AND THE CITY OF MIAMI
BEACH DATED JUNE 20,1997, AND DIRECTING THE CITY MANAGER
TO IDENTIFY FUNDING OF APPROXIMATELY $60,000 FROM THE
ULTIMATE USER DEPARTMENT, SEEKING SUBSEQUENT
APPROPRIATION AUTHORIZATION, TO PAY THE CITY'S NET COST
OF BUILDING OUT APPROXIMATELY 3,000 SQUARE FEET OF SPACE
LEASED BY THE CITY AT 701-725 5TH STREET IN THE CITY OF
MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA; AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution.
BACKGROUND:
The City of Miami Beach entered into an agreement dated November 7,1995 (the "Development
Agreement"), with West Side partners, Ltd., a Florida limited partnership ("West Side"), East
Coastline Development Ltd., a Florida limited partnership, 404 Investments, Ltd., a Florida limited
partnership, Azure Coast Development, Ltd., a Florida limited partnership, Beachwalk Development
Corporation, a Florida corporation, Porto fino Real Estate Fund, Ltd., a Florida limited partnership,
St. Tropez Real Estate Fund, Ltd., a Florida limited partnership, and Sun & Fun, Inc., a Florida
corporation (collectively the "Portofino Entities") and the Miami Beach Redevelopment Agency
(f1RDA").
The Development Agreement provided for approximately 3,000 square feet of space in the South
Pointe Redevelopment Area to be leased to the City, to be utilized "solely for public meeting space
and/or municipal offices." The lease effective date is June 20, 1997, and is for a term of 40 years
at $1.00 per year, plus the proportionate share common area maintenance after the third lease year.
The City has received a lease (a copy of which is attached hereto), for approximately 3,000 square
feet of space at 701-725 5th Street in the City of Miami Beach (the "Premises"), that conforms to
the terms set forth in the Development Agreement.
AGENDA ITEM-B.Th
DATE~
ANAL YSIS:
Property Management has determined the lease area consists of 3, 156 square feet and will require
a build-out of approximately $78,218 or $24.79/square foot. This includes a $20,000 contribution
from West Side Partners evidenced in the letter dated October 15, 1998, signed by the parties to the
1998 Porto fino Settlement Agreement. The $20,000 contribution will be utilized to provide ADA
accessible bathroom facilities and a HV AC to the premises.
In addition, the lease provides for the City to pay CAM after the third lease year. The Landlord has
advised that CAM is currently $8.04/square foot equating to annual cost of approximately $24,210
and will begin to accrue in June 2000. (See attached letter from 711 Deco, Inc.)
The Administration has explored potential users for this facility and determined that there are
restricted uses, as set forth in the lease. The lease restricts the use of the leased area to "solely for
public meeting space and/or municipal offices." Therefore, not-for-profit or cultural institutions that
the City is seeking to relocate are not eligible under the use limitations imposed by the lease. We
have explored the potential to amend the eligible uses and the lessor is not willing to alter this
provision of the Lease Agreement. Additionally, the site's use is restricted as a result of limited on-
site parking; three spaces are provided.
A. Potential Users of Space:
Three municipal offices have been identified as potential users of the subject space:
1) Police and Fire Pension Office
2) Employee and Elected Officials Pension Office
3) Arts, Culture and Entertainment
Police and Fire Pension Office:
Police and Fire Pension Offices have been identified as potential future users of the space
that could yield an annual cost savings to the City in excess of$30,000. The Police and Fire
Pension Offices are currently leasing 2,500 square feet of space at $25/sq. ft. at 605 Lincoln
Road, Suite 400, at an annual estimated lease cost of$58,000 including pro-rata pass through
expenses. The Police and Fire Pension lease is for a term of ten years. However, the lease
may be terminated at any time after five years, with a one-year notice, if the City relocates
the offices to a City facility. The lease commenced in July 1996 and, therefore, the one-year
notice to terminate cannot be issued prior to July 2001. The proposed relocation will result
in annual cost savings in excess of$30,000 annually to the City (July 2002 and beyond), at
which time the City is required to pay its proportionate share of CAM estimated at
$24,2l0/annually.
Pursuant to the Pension Plan, the City funds the administrative and operating costs of the
Police and Fire Pension Board. Initial meetings with the Police and Fire Pension Board
Administrator indicate that: (a) the Board would like to approve/disapprove the relocation,
and (b) they have expressed concern regarding the limited parking and lack of security at the
premises and in the area.
If the Commission approves this proposed relocation alternative, the following course of
action is recommended:
. Meet with Police and Fire Pension and seek their concurrence to relocate as
proposed.
. Meet with Mera Rubell, the landlord, pursuant to the Police and Fire Pension's
existing lease to explore earlier termination possibilities.
Employee and Elected Officials Pension Office:
The Employee and Elected Officials Pension Offices currently occupy approximately 460
square feet of space in City Hall on the third floor. It has been proposed to relocate this
office to the storage area on the first floor of City Hall. Their space needs have increased to
approximately 1,000 square feet and the Pension Board has voted to pay for the build-out of
the storage area estimated at approximately $96,250, or $57/sq. ft. The remaining storage
area will be built as common area meeting space.
The possibility to relocate the Employee and Elected Officials Pension Office would need
to be explored with the Pension Board as described above for the Police and Fire Pension
Offices.
Arts. Culture and Entertainment:
A third alternate user may be the Arts, Culture and Entertainment (ACE) office currently
located on the fourth floor of City Hall. ACE currently occupies 1,300 square feet. It has
been proposed to relocate this office to 555 17th Street building or to Old City Hall.
Furthermore, the Administration is desirous of co-locating ACE with the Cultural Arts
Council staff, the Convention and Tourism Office and other culturally-oriented functions
whose space needs and importance have outgrown their present location. The 5th Street
location will give prominence and exposure to these important City functions.
Limited Parkin2:
As described above, the Landlord is providing three parking spaces on site. The City has
also identified three on-street metered spaces that can be converted and restricted for City
staff use. Additionally, there is a metered lot approximately one block away, adjacent to the
6th Street Community Center that could serve the parking needs of this site.
B. Buyout Offer by Landlord:
The City's alternative recourse relative to the proposed lease is to relinquish the City's lease
rights in exchange for the $180,000 buyout price offered by the Landlord. Staff has prepared
two scenarios (see attached) calculating the net present value (NPV) of the buyout offer vis-
a-vis the value of the lease. The NPV is based upon the 40-year lease term, discounted at
8%, based upon the following market rental rate assumptions:
Scenario 1
Scenario 2 .
Assumed Beginning Rental Rate
NPV
Less: Net Build-out Cost to City
Net Value
$ 15/sq. ft.
$ 411,151
$ 60.000
$ 351,151
$ 20/sq. ft.
$ 681,663
$ 60.000
$ 621,663
Based on the aforementioned, it does not appear to be in the City's best interest to relinquish
its lease rights based upon the significantly discounted buyout offer vis-a-vis the net value
of the lease.
While the City may never realize the true lease value based on market rates due to the use
restrictions imposed in the lease and the limited on-site parking, the valuation scenarios of
$15/sq. ft. and $20/sq. ft. are deemed fair in light of the current lease rates of $15.55 -
$25.00/sq. ft. paid by the City's Parking Department and the Police and Fire Pension Office.
FUNDING:
It is recommended that the $80,000 total build-out cost be funded: $60,000 from the ultimate user
department's budget and $20,000 from West Side Partners, as provided pursuant to the Portofino
Settlement Agreement. Once the user department has been identified, legislation will be presented
seeking authorization to appropriate funds to accomplish the build-out and to pay for future CAM
charges.
CONCLUSION:
The Mayor and City Commission should adopt the Resolution.
