ANALYSIS
On January 8, 2003, the Mayor and City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2003-25106
approving Lease Agreements with the Arts and Business Council of Miami, Inc. (ABC); the
Children's Cultural Coalition of Dade County, Inc. (CCC); and the Florida Dance Association,
Inc. (FDA), at the City-owned Byron Carlyle Theater (Theater), located at 500 71st Street,
Miami Beach, Florida. Each of the Lease Agreements were for a term of two years,
commencing on February 1,2003, and ending on January 30, 2005.
In the first quarter of 2003, prior to the commencement of the renovations to the Theater, the
ABC, CCC, and FDA were relocated to Suite 402 of the City-owned building located at 1701
Meridian Avenue.
Subsequently, the City of Miami Beach Cultural Arts Council (CAC) recommended initiating
a cultural arts incubator program that would provide subsidized office space to new arts
organizations through an application and panel review process functioning similar to the
cultural grants program. As such, and in accordance with said panel review process, the
CAC would provide the City with its recommendations as to future tenants for the Theater.
After operating the Theater for its first full year, the Administration and CAC acknowledged
that office space was not available at the Theater to implement the cultural arts incubator
program.
On November 10, 2004, the Mayor and City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2004-
25734, approving Lease Agreements with the ABC, CCC, and FDA, at the City-owned
building, located at 1701 Meridian Avenue, Miami Beach, Florida. Each of the Lease
Agreements was for a term of 364 days, commencing on February 1,2005, and ending on
January 30, 2006.
The Arts and Business Council of Miami, Inc. and Florida Dance Association, Inc. have each
requested to enter into new lease agreements. The Children's Cultural Coalition has
relinquished its office space and is not desirous of entering into a new lease agreement. The
Administration is prepared to recommend the approval of new lease agreements for the two
remaining cultural organizations, at 1701 Meridian Avenue, Suite 402, thus affording the
organizations a one (1) year period to identify alternative permanent office space.
The two Lease Agreements, as attached hereto, include the following terms and conditions:
Term:
Each Lease Agreement has a term of three hundred sixty four (364) days,
commencing on February 1,2006, and ending on January 30, 2007.
Termination for convenience:
Terminable by either party with sixty (60) day prior written notice.
Rent:
The respective lessee organizations will continue to pay the City a share of
the building's operating expenses, which will offset costs incurred by the City,
including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance.
Therefore, the Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission, authorize
the Mayor and City Clerk to execute two (2) lease agreements between the City of Miami
Beach and the following not-for-profit cultural entities: 1) Arts and Business Council of
Miami, Inc., for the use of apprOximately 280 square feet of office space; and 2) Florida
Dance Association, Inc., for the use of approximately 560 square feet of office space; all in
Suite 402 of the City-owned building, located at 1701 Meridian Avenue, Miami Beach,
Florida; each lease agreement for a term of three hundred sixty four (364) days,
commencing on February 1, 2006, and ending on January 30, 2007.
