Gonzalez ,\.r---/ City Manager U C) A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND CITY CLERK TO EXECUTE A MODIFICATION TO THE SOVEREIGNTY SUBMERGED LAND LEASE NO. 130765469 AMONG THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, THE MIAMI BEACH REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY AND THE TRUSTEES OF THE INTERNAL IMPROVEMENT TRUST FUND OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA FOR THE MIAMI BEACH MARINA, PURSUANT TO THE REQUEST OF THE STATE OF FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION (DEP) TO CLARIFY THE EXISTING USES AT THE MIAMI BEACH MARINA. Date: May 18, 2005 To: Subject: ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION Adopt the Resolution. ANALYSIS In 1999, the State requested certain amendments to the existing State Submerged Land Lease for the submerged land immediately adjacent to the Miami Beach Marina, to reflect the actual uses at the Marina. These uses include the commercial docking facility with boatlifts and the existing "Cruise to Nowhere" vessel. At the time, the State had adopted a policy prohibiting any gambling vessel uses at or upon State submerged lands. The Miami Beach Marina, the City's subtenant in this Lease arrangement, had pre-existing contractual arrangements with respect to "Cruise to Nowhere" vessels. Over the past five (5) years the parties have been in discussions in an attempt to best address the State's request and at the same time not impairing any pre-existing contractual rights. As a result, the parties have agreed to the language reflected in the attached modified Sovereignty Submerged Lands Lease. The proposed amended language reflects DEP's agreement that the one existing gambling vessel uses (i.e. one sublease for a gambling vessel exists at the Miami Beach Marina at present) will not be held in violation under the State's latest prohibition regarding gambling vessels. If their existing Lease expires, terminates or is canceled, the City further agrees that no other gambling cruise ship may occupy any area within the Lease area. The Marina would not agree to language requested by the State restricting the assignability of Majesty Cruise's Lease due to an existing assignability clause in Majesty's current sublease Agreement. May 18, 2005 City Commission Memorandum MB Marina - Modified Sovereignty Submerged Land Lease Page 2 of 2 On January 11, 2005, the Administration presented the amendment to the Marine Authority. The Marine Authority voted to recommend approval of the proposed amendment language subject to confirming that the existing sublease with Majesty, as referenced in the proposed amendment, is still validly in existence since Majesty has declared bankruptcy and sold its assets by court order. These questions have been posed to the Marina. The Marina's response is that the lease with Majesty Enterprises of Florida, LLC is still in existence and it was assigned in June 2004 to MB Cruises, LLC, a Delaware Limited Liability Company, in connection with MB Cruises acquisition of all the assets, including the vessel "Atlantic", and liabilities of Majesty Enterprises of Florida, LLC. The Marina has not been notified of any bankruptcy by Majesty and when the Marina consented to the assignment of Lease, they did not release Majesty from any obligations under the lease, therefore, the Marina continues to be a creditor in the event of a filing of a bankruptcy action by Majesty. At the February 2, 2005, City Commission meeting, the Administration presented a Resolution recommending approval of the Modification to the Sovereignty Submerged Land Lease. The Mayor and City Commission did not take formal action on adopting the Resolution, and referred the matter to the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee for a more detailed discussion of the options available to the City to possibly negotiate a more favorable lease arrangement. On April 27, 2005, the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee reviewed and considered the matter, after receiving input and comments from the Administration and City Attorney's Office, and concluded to recommend that the Sovereignty Submerged Land Lease, as modified, be forwarded to the Mayor and City Commission for approval. The attached Resolution authorizing the Mayor and City Commission to execute the Sovereignty Submerged Land Lease, amended as described above, should be approved.
