Administration recommends moving forward with approval and execution of the
agreements for these projects in order to start requesting reimbursement of these funds;
and
WHEREAS, these projects support the key intended outcome: ensure well
designed quality capital projects; and

ANALYSIS
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, 41 sl 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,

As such, the Administration now requests approval to execute the agreement for the
Beachfront Restrooms Project, in the amount of $250,000.
The following BBC GOB agreements have already been executed: Old City Hall
Renovations; F ire Station #2; Fire Station #4; South Shore Community Center; Normandy
Shores Golf Course; Scott Rakow Youth Center; 41 5t Street Bridge Repair.
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 worked 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 I nterloca I 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 uses General Fund revenues to subsidize facility entrance fees
and programs, including parks programs, to Miami Beach residents.
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.
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.
