DECISION MAKING PROCESS
The Resource Team offered a set of observations related to effective decision making to guide a
community planning process. It was proposed that a conaboraUve, consensus building decision making
model be used by the Task Force. There was general consensus among the group that this was an
appropriate set of principles to guide the lIneoln Road Task Force.
.I A collaborative problem solving process must
Include from the beginning an the Individuals or
groups responsible for final decisions or affected by
the decision, or have the power to block the
decisions.
.lit you don't agree on the problem, you'" never
agree on the solution. Coftaboratlve problem
solving Is problem oriented vs solution oriented.
.I Participants In a collaborative process mJst
own the process. They must be Involved In
designing the process.
.I Collaborative problem solving proceeds phase
by phase with a check polrC for consensus at the
end of each phase.
.I The key decision makers must agree to
participate In the collaborative process and consider
It as an Integral part of their .rear decision making
process. Only the parties with the ultimate power
can make a wlnlwln process.
.I The commitment of the key decision making
organizations must be evidenced by a commitment
of resources (dollars, In kind support services.
personnel. etc.).
.I A participative process takes time. money and
staft support. Often, you must go slow to go fast.
.I The process of collaboration mJst be seen as
ongoing. not as a one-shot deal.
.I A collaborative process must be educational.
Participants In each ring of Involvement must be
educated about the Issues. The process of
education Is one of the Important benefits of a
conabaratlve process.
.I A collaborative effort must produce some
Immediate successes/splnoffs In order to
demonstrate Its legitimacy and effectiveness.
.I A collaborative process must be open and
vlslble.The public must be aware of It as It happens.
MIldIa and .spectaculars" are Important tools.
.I The key to effective collaboration Is how the
meetings are run. The role of neutral. third party
facilitator Is crutlal.
.

ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION:
The Administration recommends that the Commission adopt the
Resolution approving the Consultant Agreement for Lincoln Road
Revitalization Program with Benjamin Thompson and Associates/Forest
City Ratner in the amount of $165,000
BACKGROUND:
The City commission has previously approved an Agreement with Miami
Beach Development corporation (MBDC) and has taken several other
actions relative to funding the on-going work on Lincoln Road. The
Lincoln Road Task Force, MBDC, and the Administration have now
finalized negotiations with the selected consultant team and the
Agreement is now being presented to the Commission for approval.
ANALYSIS:
The attached Agreement in the amount of $l65, 000 addresses the
various concerns that were raised by the Task Force members, the
Administration and MBDC. It is now in an acceptable form that can
be recommended for the Commission's action. Recognizing that the
dollar amount initially of $150,000 was a constraint to completion
of necessary work elements, the Administration is recommending that
the contract amount increase lOt to a total of $165,000 so that all
the necessary elements can be done. The Commission has already
approved funding of this item with the understanding that it would
be paid back by the assessment district that would be set up by
Lincoln Road. Please note that the ;attached is a sample copy of
the original Agreement, as negotiated between the parties thereto.
Since the Consultants are located in New York, the original copies
were Federal Expressed to them for final review and signing. Fully
executed copies will be presented to the City Commission on the
meeting date.
CONCLUSION:
The Administration recommends that the City Commission approve the
attached contract.
