Condensed Title:
Resolution approving on first reading a lease agreement between the City and Miami Design Preservation
League, inc., for the purpose of relocation of their administrative offices, Art Deco Welcome Center and
!i Educational Center to Historic City Hall during the renovation of the Ocean Front Auditorium.
Ke Intended Outcome 5u ortea:
Increase community rating of cultural activities
Supporting Data (Surveys, Environmental Scan, etc.):
The tourism industry in Miami Beach contributes to the quality of life for residents within the City; 78%

Historic City Hall (when completed) provides the most viable and comparable ground floor space.
The submitted lease terms are for a one year agreement with two (2) one (1) year renewal options.
The base rent is one (1) dollar a year with no CAM charges.
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission adopt the Resolution approving the

ANALYSIS
On June 27, 2001, the Mayor and City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2001-24482,
approving a Management and Operation Agreement between the City of Miami Beach (City)
and Miami Design Preservation League, Inc. (MDPL) to operate the Administrative Offices,

portion of the facility on behalf of the City of Miami Beach.
As part of this agreement, the MDPL provides the following services:
• Operate, manage and maintain the Auditorium as a public multi-purpose community
resource centered on an outstanding cultural and historic exhibition, archive and
educational center;
• Manage and direct the operations and activities of the Ocean Front Auditorium;
• Maintain the interior of the Premises;
• Foster the creation of an Art Deco Historic District Interpretive Center; Barbara Baer
Capitman Archives; and Historic District Museum Center;
• Utilize Auditorium for Art Deco Week related events.

Page 2 of 3
Subsequently, on May 10, 2006, the Mayor and City Commission adopted Resolution No.
2006-26194, approving the renovation of the Ocean Front Auditorium and Beach Patrol
Headquarters. The renovations, scheduled to begin in March of 2008 will displace the
MDPL for a period of two years. Based on their financial position, MDPL has requested that
the City identify alternative space for them during this period. City staff has identified the first
floor of Historic City Hall as an alternative space to house the MDPL during the renovation.
MDPL has expressed an interest in maintaining its offices, the Welcome Center and
Educational Center at Historic City Hall although it is concerned that the foot traffic on
Washington Avenue is not comparable to the foot traffic on Ocean Drive which affects their
retail operation that helps sustain their activities. City staff is working with MDPL on
alternate solutions for a satellite location for their retail operation in addition to the space in
Historic City Hall.
Although the MDPL will not manage and operate Historic City Hall as a whole, it will continue
to provide the same following services:
• Manage and direct the operations and activities of the Leased Premises;
• Maintain the interior of the Leased Premises;
• Foster the creation of an Art Deco Historic District Interpretive Center, Barbara Baer
Capitman Archives; and Historic District Museum Center;
• Utilize Leased Premises for the Art Deco Week related events.
The City and MDPL are proposing to enter into a one (1) year lease, with an option to renew
for two (2) additional one (1) year terms, at the City's sole discretion, for the use of
approximately 2663 square feet of office space on the 1 st floor of Historic City Hall located at
1130 Washington Avenue, Miami Beach, Florida commencing on March 1, 2008 and ending
on February 28, 2009.
It is anticipated that a second Agreement regarding a satellite location for MDPL's retail
operation may follow at a future City Commission Meeting. The MDPL has requested
assistance by the City in locating a temporary satellite location that is more comparable to
the pedestrian tourist traffic that can be found on Ocean Drive. While Historic City Hall has
the space requirements for most of their current functions, it is not a store front and that
section of Washington Avenue does not presently have comparable pedestrian tourist traffic.
The MDPL projects that the revenue loss from relocating the retail operation will be
substantial and could jeopardize the economic standing of the organization.
The Lease Agreement, as negotiated, includes the following additional terms and conditions:
BASE RENT:
MDPL which is anon-profit corporation will pay one dollar per year as base rent.
OPERATING EXPENSES:
Due to the disruption of the Welcome Center in relocating, and retail with sales being
the principal source of revenue for the organization, the operating expenses (CAM)
are being waived. Currently the MDPL pays one thousand (1,000) dollar in CAM for
the management and operation of the Ocean Front Auditorium.
Commission Memorandum -MDPL Lease Agreement
October 17, 2007
Page 3 of 3
Section 82-39 of the Miami Beach City Code, governing the sale/lease of public property,
provides that the lease of any City-owned property, including option periods, requires the
following:
1) the reading of the title of the Resolution approving the sale/lease on two (2)
separate dates;
2) a public bidding process;
3) a Planning Department analysis;
4) an independent appraisal to determine the value of the leasehold interest; and
5) a public hearing to obtain citizen input (following second reading of the
Resolution);
A Planning Department Analysis will be presented upon second and final reading on
December 12, 2007. This analysis will address issues pertinent to urban design, historic
preservation and land use planning and zoning.
Section 82-39 further provides for the waiver of the competitive bidding and appraisal
requirements, by 5/7ths vote of the Mayor and City Commission, upon a finding by the Mayor
and City Commission that the public interest would be served bywaiving such conditions. In
this situation, a waiver of competitive bidding and appraisal requirements is appropriate
because the MDPL is a long standing non-profit organization with a mission to preserve,
protect and promote the 20th Century structures located in the designated historic districts of
Miami Beach. There is no comparable organization in the City that offers these same
services. Further, the proposed lease agreement provides for a waiver of rent payments and
common area maintenance charges, which has the effect of causing the bidding and
appraisal requirements that help determine a market rate for the space a moot issue.
There is also a requirement that there be a minimum fifteen (15) day advertised notice
advising of the public hearing. In order to enable the Mayor and City Commission to hold the
public hearing in a timely manner, the Administration is recommending that the date for said
public hearing be set at this time.
Based on the foregoing, the Administration recommends that the Mayor and City
Commission of the City of Miami Beach, Florida, approve on first reading a Lease
Agreement between the City and Miami Design Preservation League, Inc., for lease of
approximately 2663 square feet of City-owned property located at 1130 Washington Avenue,
Miami Beach Florida (Historic City Hall), forthe purpose of MDPL's Administrative offices, an
Art Deco Welcome Center and educational center for an initial one year term, commencing
on March 1, 2008, and ending on February 28, 2009, with an option to renew for two
additional one year terms, at the City's sole discretion; further waiving, by 5/7ths vote, the
competitive bidding and appraisal requirements, as required by Section 82-39 of the Miami
Beach City Code, finding such waivers to be in the best interest of the City; and further
setting a public hearing to hear public comment of said lease on second and final reading of
this resolution on December 12, 2007.

any such lien or claimed lien. In the event of such contest, Tenant shall give the City
reasonable security as may be demanded by the City to insure payment thereof and
prevent sale, foreclosure, orforfeiture of the premises or improvements by reasons
of such non-payment. Such security need not exceed one and one half (1'/2) times

released or judgment satisfied at Tenant's own expense.

appropriated, or condemned by reason of Eminent Domain proceedings
(except if the Eminent Domain proceedings are initiated by the City of Miami
Beacf~), then this Agreement shall be terminated as of the date of such
taking, and shall thereafter be completely null and void, and neither of the
parties hereto shall thereafter have any rights against the other by reason of
this Agreement or anything contained therein, except that any rent prepaid

Tenant shall pay any and all rents, additional rents, utility charges, or other
costs including excess taxes for which it is liable under the terms of this
Agreement, up to the date of such taking.

recover from the condemning authority, but not from the City, such
compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by Tenant in

At the City's option, any of the following shall constitute an Event of Default
under this Agreement:
18.1.1 The Base Rent, Additional Rent, or any installment thereof, is not

discretion;

City, at its sole discretion;
18.1.6 Any petition is filed by or against Tenant under any section or

19. Rights on Default.
19.1 Rights on Default:
In the event of any default by Tenant as provided herein, City shall have the
option to do any of the following in addition to and not in limitation of any
other remedy permitted by law or by this Agreement;
19.1.1 Terminate this Agreement, in which event Tenant shall
immediately surrender the Demised Premises to the City, but if
Tenant shall fail to do so the City may, without further notice, and
without prejudice to any other remedy the City may have for
possession or arrearages in rent or damages for breach of
contract, enter upon Demised Premises and expel or remove
Tenant and its effects in accordance with law, without being liable
for prosecution or any claim for damages therefore, and Tenant
agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the City for all loss and
damage which the City may suffer by reasons of such Agreement
termination, whether through inability to re-let the Demised
Premises, or through decrease in rent, or otherwise.
19.1.2 Declare the entire amount of the Base Rent and Additional Rent
which would become due and payable during the remainderof the
term of this Agreement to be due and payable immediately, in
which event Tenant agrees to pay the same at once, togetherwith
all rents therefore due, at the address of the City, as provided in
the Notices section of this Agreement; provided, however, that
10
such payment shall not constitute a penalty, forfeiture, or
liquidated damage, but shall merely constitute payment in
advance of the rents for the remainder of said term and such
payment shall be considered, construed and taken to be a debt
provable in bankruptcy or receivership.
19.1.3 Enter the Demised Premises as the agent of Tenant, by force if
necessary, without being liable to prosecution or any claim for
damages therefore, remove Tenant's property there from, and re-
letthe Demised Premises, or portions thereof, for such terms and
upon such conditions which the City deems, in its sole discretion,
desirable, and to receive the rents therefore, and Tenant shall pay
the City any deficiency that may arise by reason of such re-letting,
on demand at any time and from time to time at the office of the
City; and for the purpose of re-letting, the City may (i) make any
repairs, changes, alterations or additions in or to said Demised
Premises that may be necessary or convenient; (ii) pay all costs
and expenses therefore from rents resulting from re-letting; and
(iii) Tenant shall pay the City any deficiency as aforesaid.
19.1.4 Take possession of any personal property owned by Tenant on
said Demised Premises and sell the same at public or private sale,
and apply same to the payment of rent due, holding the Tenant
liable for the deficiency, if any.
19.1.5 It is expressly agreed and understood by and between the parties
hereto that any installments of rent accruing under the provisions
of this Agreement which shall not be paid when due shall bear
interest at the maximum legal rate of interest per annum then
prevailing in Florida from the date when the same was payable by
the terms hereof, until the same shall be paid by Tenant. Any
failure on the City's behalf to enforce this Section shall not
constitute a waiver of this provision with respect to future accruals
of past due rent. No interest will be charged for payments made
within the grace period, such grace period to be defined as within
five days of the due date. In addition, there will be a late charge of
Fifty ($50.00) Dollars for any payments submitted after the grace
period.
19.1.6 If Tenant shall default in making any payment of monies to any
person or for any purpose as may be required hereunder, the City
may pay such expense but the City shall not be obligated to do so.
Tenant upon the City's paying such expense shall be obligated to
forthwith reimburse the City for the amount thereof. All sums of
money payable by Tenant to the City hereunder shall be deemed
as rent for use of the Demised Premises and collectable by the
City from Tenant as rent, and shall be due from Tenant to the City
11
on the first day of the month following the payment of the expense
by the City.
19.1.7 The rights of the City under this Agreement shall be cumulative
but not restrictive to those given by law and failure on the part of
the City to exercise promptly any rights given hereunder shall not
operate to waive or to forfeit any of the said rights.
19.2 Default by City:
The failure of the City to perform any of the covenants, conditions and
agreements of this Agreement which are to be performed by the City and the
continuance of such failure for a period of thirty (30) days after notice thereof
in writing from Tenant to the City (which notice shall specify the respects in
which Tenant contends that the City failed to perform any such covenant,
conditions and agreements) shall constitute a default by the City, unless
such default is one which cannot be cured within thirty (30) days because of
circumstances beyond the City's control, and the City within such thirty (30)
day period shall have commenced and thereafter shall continue diligently to
prosecute all actions necessary to cure such defaults.
However, in the event the City fails to perform within the initial 30 day period
provided above, and such failure to perform prevents Tenant from operating
its business in a customary manner and causes an undue hardship for the
Tenant, then such failure to perform (regardless of circumstances beyond its
control) as indicated above, shall constitute a default by the City.
19.3 Tenant's Rights on Default:
If an event of the City's default shall occur, Tenant, to the fullest extent
permitted by law, shall have the right to pursue any and all remedies
available at law or in equity, including the right to sue for and collect
damages, including reasonable attorney fees and costs, to terminate this
Agreement (and all of its obligations hereunder by giving notice of such
election to the City, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate as of the date
of such notice), to specifically enforce Tenant's rights; and/or to enjoin the
City.
20. Indemnity Against Costs and Charges.
20.1 The Tenant shall be liable to the City for all costs and charges, expenses,
reasonable attorney's fees, and damages which may be incurred or
sustained by the City, by reason of the Tenant's breach of any of the
provisions of this Agreement. Any sums due the City under the provisions of
this item shall constitute a lien against the interest of the Tenant and the
Demised Premises and all of Tenant's property situated thereon to the same
extent and on the same conditions as delinquent rent would constitute a lien
12
on said premises and property.
20.2 If Tenant shall at any time be in default hereunder, and if the City shall deem
it necessary to engage an attorney to enforce the City's rights and Tenant's
obligations hereunder, the Tenant will reimburse the City for the reasonable
expenses incurred thereby, including, but not limited to, court costs and
reasonable attorney's fees, whether suit be brought or not and if suit be
brought, then Tenant shall be liable for expenses incurred at both the trial
and appellate levels.
21. Indemnification Against Claims.
21.1 The Tenant shall indemnify and save the City harmless from and against any
and all claims or causes of action (whether groundless or otherwise) by or on
behalf of any person, firm, or corporation, for personal injury or property
damage occurring upon the Demised Premises or upon any other land or
other facility or appurtenance used in connection with the Demised
Premises, occasioned in whole or in part by any of the following:
21.1.1 An act or omission on the part of the Tenant, or any employee,
agent, contractor, invitee, guest, assignee, sub-tenant or
subcontractor of the Tenant;
21.1.2 Any misuse, neglect, or unlawful use of the Demised Premises by
Tenant, or any employee, agent, contractor, invitee, guest,
assignee, sub-tenant or subcontractor of the Tenant, but not to
include trespassers upon the Demised Premises;
21.1.3 Any breach, violation, or non-performance of any undertaking of
the Tenant under this Agreement;
21.1.4 Anything growing out of the use or occupancy of the Demised
Premises by the Tenant or anyone holding or claiming to hold
through or under this Agreement. .

facilities used in connection therewith, caused by the Tenant or any
employee, guest, or invitee of the Tenant.

and display of any signs, plaques, lettering or advertising material of any kind on or
near the Demised Premises. All additional signage shall comply with signage
standards established by the City and comply with all applicable building codes, and
any other municipal, County, State and Federal laws.
23. Effect of Conveyance.
13
Intentionally Omitted.
24. Damage to the Demised Premises.
24.1 If the Demised Premises shall be damaged by the elements or other casualty
not due to Tenant's negligence, or by fire, but are not thereby rendered
untenantable, as determined by the City, in its sole discretion, in whole or in
part, and such damage is covered by the City's insurance, if any, (hereinafter
referred to as "such occurrence"), the City, shall, as soon as possible after
such occurrence, utilize the insurance proceeds to cause such damage to be
repaired and the Rent shall not be abated. If by reason of such occurrence,
the Demised Premises shall be rendered untenantable, as determined by the
City, in its sole discretion, only in part, the City shall as soon as possible
utilize the insurance proceeds to cause the damage to be repaired, and the
Rent meanwhile shall be abated proportionately as to the portion of the
Demised Premises rendered untenantable; provided however, if the Demised
Premises are by reason of such occurrence, rendered more than 50% but
less than 100% untenantable, as determined by the City, in its sole
discretion, the City shall promptly obtain a good faith estimate of the time
required to render the Demised Premises tenantable. If such time exceeds
sixty (60) days, either party shall have the option of canceling this
Agreement, which option shall be exercised by the party opting to cancel, in
writing within ten (10) days of receipt of notice of same to the other party.
24.2 If the Demised Premises shall be rendered wholly untenantable by reason of
such occurrence, the City shall have the option, but not the obligation, in its
sole discretion, to utilize the insurance proceeds to cause such damage to be
repaired and the Rent meanwhile shall be abated. However, the City shall
have the right, to be exercised by notice in writing delivered to Tenant within
sixty (60) days from and after said occurrence, to elect not to reconstruct the
destroyed Demised Premises, and in such event, this Agreement and the
tenancy hereby created shall cease as of the date of said occurrence, the
rent to be adjusted as of such date. If the Demised Premises shall be
rendered wholly untenantable, the Tenant shall have the right, to be
exercised by notice in writing, delivered to the City within thirty (30) days from
and after said occurrence, to elect to terminate this Agreement, the Rent to
be adjusted accordingly. Notwithstanding any clause contained in this
Section, if the damage is not covered by the City's insurance, then the City
shall have no obligation to repair the damage, but the City shall advise
Tenant in writing within thirty (30) days of the occurrence giving rise to the
damage and of its decision not to repair, and the Tenant may, at any time
thereafter, elect to terminate this Agreement, and the Rent shall be adjusted
accordingly.
25. Quiet Enioyment.
The Tenant shall enjoy quiet enjoyment of the Demised Premises and shall not be
evicted or disturbed in possession of the Demised Premises so long as Tenant
14
complies with the terms of this Agreement.
26. Waiver.
26.1 It is mutually covenanted and agreed by and between the parties hereto that
the failure of the City to insist upon the strict performance of any of the
conditions, covenants, terms or provisions of this Agreement, or to exercise
any option herein conferred, will not be considered or construed as a waiver
or relinquishment for the future of any such conditions, covenants, terms,
provisions or options but the same shall continue and remain in full force and
effect.
26.2 A waiver of any term expressed herein shall not be implied by any neglect of
the City to declare a forfeiture on account of the violation of such term if such
violation by continued or repeated subsequently and any express waiver
shall not affect any term other than the one specified in such waiver and that
one only for the time and in the manner specifically stated.
26.3 The receipt of any sum paid by Tenant to the City after breach of any
condition, covenant, term or provision herein contained shall not be deemed
a waiver of such breach, but shall be taken, considered and construed as
payment for use and occupation, and not as rent, unless such breach be
expressly waived in writing by the City.
