Issue•
Shall the City Commission Accept the City Manager's Recommendation?
Item Summa /Recommendation:
Since May of 2007, the Carl Fisher Clubhouse had been under a letter agreement for temporary use in the
interim prior to the commencement of the greater capital improvement project. With the capital project
delayed further, it was indicated by the Commission that the use of this space be competitively bid under an
RFP specifically to provide cultural programming.
On October 17, 2007, the Mayor and City Commission approved the issuance of Request for Proposals
(RFP) No. 03-07/08 for use of the Carl Fisher Clubhouse to provide cultural programming for the residents
of the City of Miami Beach. Subsequently, RFP No. 03-07/08 was issued on April 08, 2008, with an
opening date of May 13, 2008. The City Manager, via Letter to Commission (LTC) No. 136-2008, appointed
an Evaluation Committee ("the Committee") which convened on May 22, 2008, to evaluate, score, and rank
the proposals. The Committee unanimously agreed, and the City Manager concurred, to recommend
Mystery Park Arts Company, Inc. (d/b/a SoBe Music Institute) as the top-ranked proposer.
The Administration has negotiated the attached Lease Agreement, for an initial term of one (1) year
commencing retroactively on September 1, 2008, and ending on August 31, 2009, with one (1) additional
one (1) year renewal term, at the City's sole discretion. Initially, the City Administration had considered
extending this term due to the suspension of the Capital Improvement project; however, the terms must be
consistent with those advertised as part of the Procurement process. Additionally, the rent will be assessed
by averaging actual utility costs (water, sewer, electric, etc) over the past year to determine a monthly flat
rent fee or the proposed $500 monthly, whichever is greater. There are no separate meters for the facility,
therefore, the proportionate share will be assessed according to square footage. The facility is currently
undergoing construction in order to bring it into compliance with applicable codes and regulations. The City
reserves the right to adjust the projected lease commencement date to accommodate the construction
schedule. At this time, no delays are foreseen.
Section 82-39 of the Miami Beach City Code, governing the sale/lease of public property, as amended,
requires a competitive bidding process, a Planning Department analysis, and an independent appraisal to
determine the value of the leasehold interest, as well as two (2) readings of the proposed lease, with the
second (and final) reading followed by an advertised public hearing to obtain citizen input.
ACCEPT THE CITY MANAGER'S RECOMMENDATION.

On June 25, 2008, the Mayor and City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2008-26835,
accepting the recommendation of the City Manager and authorizing the Administration to enter
into negotiations with the top ranked proposer. The Administration has negotiated the attached
Lease Agreement, for an initial term of one (1) year commencing retroactively on September 1,
2008, and ending on August 31, 2009, with an additional one (1) year renewal term, at the City's
sole discretion. Initially, the City Administration had considered extending this term due to the

those advertised as part of the Procurement process. The facility is currently undergoing
construction in order to bring it into compliance with city code. The City reserves the right to
adjust the projected lease commencement date to accommodate the construction schedule. At
this time, no delays are foreseen.
The SoBe Music Institute has budgeted five hundred ($500.00) dollars as monthly payment to
the City for use of the facility. As the facility is currently being shared between two entities, and
the lease agreement will provide for sole use, staff is currently assessing the actual operating
costs of the facility. Rent will be based on actual operating costs or the proposed fee whichever
is higher.
Section 82-39 of the Miami Beach City Code, governing the sale/lease of public property, as
amended, requires a competitive bidding process, a Planning Department analysis, and an
independent appraisal to determine the value of the leasehold interest, as well as two (2)

attached Lease Agreement on first reading, and hereby set the public hearing for second
reading and final approval of the Agreement.
Section 82-39, as amended, further provides for the waiver of the appraisal requirement, 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 by waiving such condition; the
Administration would also hereby recommend that the Mayor and City Commission approve
said waiver.

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 the 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 otherwise.
19.1.2 Declare the entire amount of the Base Rent and Additional Rent
which would become due and payable during the remainder of 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
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
11
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 (5) days from 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 maybe 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 byTenant 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
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 thirty (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.
12
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; provided however, that Tenant expressly acknowledges and
agrees that any recovery by Tenant shall be limited to the amount set forth in
Subsections 19.4 and 33 of this Agreement.
19.4 Limitation of City's Liability in the Event of City's Default:
NOTWITHSTANDING SUBSECTIONS 19.2 AND 19.3 OF THIS
AGREEMENT, TENANT AND CITY HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND

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
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.

in the event of any-sale of said land and building, or in the event of a lease of said
building, the City shall be and hereby is entirely freed and relieved of all covenants
and obligations of the City hereunder, and it shall be deemed and construed without
further agreement between the parties, or between the parties and the purchaser at
such sale, or the lease of this building, that the purchaser or Tenant has assumed
and agreed to carry out all covenants and obligations of the City hereunder.

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
14
Demised Premises rendered untenantable; provided however, that the City
shall promptly obtain a good faith estimate of the time required to render the
Demised Premises tenantable and if such time exceeds sixty (60) days,
either party shall have the option of canceling this Agreement.
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.
24.3 Notwithstanding any clause contained in this Section 24, 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)

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

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.

the City to declare a forfeiture on account of the violation of such term if such

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
