ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION Adopt the Resolution. ANAL YSIS On November 2, 2004, the voters of Miami-Dade County overwhelmingly supported and approved a referendum supporting the Building Better Communities General Obligation Bond Program (BBC GOB) to provide $2.9 billion to fund more than 300 capital improvements throughout the County over the next 15 to 20 years. As part of the Building Better Communities Bond Program, the Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners reviewed and approved allocations to municipalities throughout the County, including the City of Miami Beach. The City of Miami Beach will be constructing and/or renovating the following facilities financed partially with BBC GOB funds: Lummus Park, South Pointe Park, Beach Maintenance Facility, Beachfront Restrooms, Flamingo Park, Normandy Shores Golf Course, Band Shell Park, Scott Rakow Youth Center, 4151 Street Bridge Repair/Restoration, Fire Station #2, Fire Station #4, South Shore Community Center, Flagler Memorial Monument, Monument Island, Old City Hall and Miami Beach Convention Center. Additional other GOB projects in the City include the renovation of North Shore Branch Library, improvements to the Wolfsonian and Beach Erosion Mitigation and Renourishment Projects. Some of the BBC GOB funded projects are in advanced stages of renovation. The Administration desires to move forward and execute the agreements for these projects in order to start requesting reimbursement of these funds. Commission Memorandum Page 2 As such, the Administration now requests approval to execute the following six (6) agreements: 1. GOB Project Number 198-70614/Fire Station # 2 $2,000,000 2. GOB Project Number 199-70615/Fire Station #4 $1,000,000 3. GOB Project Number 240-70617/South Shore Community Center $ 500,000 4. GOB Project Number 85-7061 O/Normandy Shores Golf Course $1,000,000 5. GOB Project Number 87-70612/Scott Rakow Youth Center $1,000,000 6. GOB Project Number 155-70613/4151 St Bridge Repair/Restoration $ 750,000 GOB Project Number 239-70616/Renovation of Old City Hall, in the amount of $2,000,000 was already approved by the Mayor and City Commission at the June 7, 2006 Commission meeting. Two documents guide the BBC GOB program: the Administrative Rules, which govern the implementation by Miami-Dade County of the Building Better Communities General Obligation Bond Program; and the Interlocal Agreements, which are the executed grant agreements between Miami-Dade County and the City setting forth mutual obligations regarding funding cycle allocations for each project. The Administrative Rule and Interlocal Agreement were developed after the City's agreement with the County as to which projects to include, and after approval by the voters. The City has been working with Miami-Dade County on certain language contained in both the Administrative Rule and the Interlocal Agreement. Much of the language contained in these documents has been resolved, however, three (3) issues in the Administrative Rule and/or Interlocal Agreements remain outstanding, they include: 1. Fees/Pricing Policy The County requires that the City not discriminate when charging facility admission fees based on where a resident resides in the County. Currently the City gives discounts to Miami Beach residents at our facilities for entrance fees, and programs, including parks programs. 2. Naming Rights and Advertisement Space Offered on a Facility The County requires that, in the event that any naming rights or advertisement space is offered on a facility constructed or improved with BBC GOB Program funds, then Miami-Dade County's name, logo and slogan shall appear on the facility not less than once and equal to half the number of times the most frequent sponsor or advertiser is named, whichever is greater. 3. Substitution of other capital project funding. The County requires that BBC GOB funds not be used in substitution of other capital funding. The County has clarified that this applies only to work started before July 20, 2004, since any work started after July 20, 2004 will not be considered "substitution of funds". The County has further opined that any work started before July 20, 2004 will need to be reviewed by the County Attorney's Office in order for a determination to be made on whether the work can be reimbursed with BBC GOB funds. Commission Memorandum Page 3 The City continues to work with the County to revise language for these issues as they were never discussed when the City and County were developing the list of City projects to be included in the BBC GOB. However, the Administration recommends proceeding with the aforementioned agreements, as the City's Administration and Legal Department continues to pursue resolution of these issues with the County. The Building Better Communities General Obligation Bond Program funds for these six projects, as well as for the previously approved Renovation of Old City Hall project were appropriated as part of the City's 2006 Capital Budget. Matching funds are not required from the City to support the BBC GOB funding. This project supports the Key Intended Outcome: Ensure Well Designed Quality Capital Projects. CONCLUSION The Administration requests approval to authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute the following agreements with Miami-Dade County, for funding from the Building Better Communities General Obligation Bond Program: 1) Fire Station #2 in the amount of $2,000,000; 2) Fire Station #4 in the amount of $1,000,000; 3) South Shore Community Center in the amount of $500,000; 4) Normandy Shores Golf Course in the amount of $1,000,000; 5) Scott Rakow Youth Center in the amount of $1 ,000,000; and, 6); 4151 Street Bridge Repair And Restoration in the amount of $750,000; as approved by the voters in the November 2, 2004 countywide referendum; further authorizing the execution of all necessary documents related to these agreements.
