Interlocal Agreement
Analysis of the Dade County Memorandum dated 12/18/95
The following is a series of observations and comments made in response to the
County Manager Armando Vidal's memorandum, dated December 18, 1995, to
the Commissioner Alex Panelas with respect to the Omni Interlocal Agreement
("Agreement").
The terms of the Agreement proposed by both Community Redevelopment
Agency ("CRA") and Dade County ("County") are, by large, not significantly
different. Nevertheless, there are a few issues requiring further discussions and
clarifications.
Amendment to the Redevelopment Plan:
Contrary to the County's claim, the CRA has not indicated any opposition to
amending the Omni Redevelopment Plan ("Plan") to incorporate the Performing
Arts Center ("PAC") project. As a matter of fact the draft amendment
incorporating the PAC to the Plan was approved by the CRA Board at its
October 16,1995 meeting.
Funding of the Homeless Shelter
As indicated in the Mr. Vidal's memorandum, the former County Manager
Joaquin Avino's letter, dated March 19, 1992, asked the City to prepare a new
amendment to the Plan for the purpose of incorporating the PAC project in the
overall Plan
In accordance with the County's request, the City initiated the amendatory
process and negotiated the new terms of the Agreement with the County
Officials. The funding of the Homeless Shelter did not become a pressing issue
until the day before the City Commission meeting to consider the new
Agreement, when the County requested a brand new provision to the
Agreement in connection with the Homeless Shelter.
The City initially opposed the use of tax increment revenue to fund any activity
associated with the Homeless Shelter. However after long discussions, the City
in its capacity as the CRA decided to act on this issue pursuant to the wishes of
the residents of the Omni Area. Consequently, the CRA Board conducted two
public hearings in Omni Area, adopting the following conditions for the use of
tax increment revenue:
♦ No tax increment revenues shall be used to fund the Homeless Shelter.
♦ Funding commitment to support the PAC project shall be limited to
$10 million bond issue. Funds not appropriated for PAC shall be used
for other redevelopment activities in the area.
The Agreement was revised to reflect the above conditions and a "redlined"
copy was sent to the County on September 7,1995.
Commitment of Tax Increment Revenues
In accordance with the public hearings conducted in the ' Omni Area, the CRA
Board limited the annual tax increment revenue committed for the PAC at $1
million, which supports a bond issue of approximately $10 million.
Despite the CRA and area residents' wishes, the County still demands the first
$1.43 million of tax increment revenue be committed for the PAC. This seems to
be a moot issue since, the estimated revenue for the current year is about
$648,000 which is less than one half of the revenue when the district was
originally set up back in 1987.
The Omni Redevelopment District ("District") was principally set up to reverse
conditions causing the area's declining tax base. The District's tax base continues
to deteriorate since 1987, simply due to City and County failure to reach a
resolution to address the issues outlined in the Plan. Unless an agreement
reached by the parties, the tax base will continue to shrink further.
Property Acquisition and Disposition
The City of Miami as the Community Redevelopment Agency would like to
retain powers for the acquisition or disposition of property for all areas outside
the Performing Arts Center project area. The CRA needs to have the ability to
undertake projects in a timely manner without undue delays. Seeking the

SUBJECT: Report on the Omni Tax
Increment District Interlocal
FROM: do Vi P.E. Agreement
County Manager - ' ' ' -
As requested in your memorandum of December 15, 1995 (copy attached) concerning the Omni
Tax Increment District Interlocal Agreement, this memorandum should provide you with an
update regarding the items identified. It should be noted that the County Attorney's Office has
pointed out that the following steps need to occur in regard to the Redevelopment Plan and the
Interlocal Agreement, the two documents needed to commence redevelopment in the Omni Tax
Increment District:
• The City of Miami must initiate a request to the County to amend the Redevelopment Plan
to include the specific projects (ie., the Performing Arts Center and the Homeless Housing
Component).
• The amendatory process for the Plan involves certain statutory requirements covering
public notice and public hearings (see attached memorandum of March 30, 1995 from the
County Attorney's Office).
• Both the County and the City must approve a mutually acceptable Interlocal Agreement.
• An Interlocal Agreement can be acted upon by the County and the City contingent upon an
amendment of the Plan (Le., the Interlocal cannot take effect until the Plan is amended).
BACKGROUND AND CHRONOLOGY OF NEGOTIATIONS
The Omni Tax Increment District was formed by the Board of County Commissioners by
Ordnance No. 87-47 and the Redevelopment Plan was approved by County Commission by
Resolution R 825-87 on July 7, 1987. For the approximately three year period following the
creation of the District, while the County appropriated required increments, no redevelopment
activity occurred. On November 6, 1990 the County Commission approved a Performing Arts
Center Financing Plan earmarking $11,767,000 from projected Omni Tax Increment bond
proceeds for the new performing arts center.
In a letter dated March 19, 1992 to City Manager Cesar Odio, County Manager Joaquin Avino
requested that the City of Miami initiate the process of amending the Omni Redevelopment Plan
to include the performing arts center as the catalytic project. This letter outlined a conceptual
agreement between the County and the City regarding the business terms of the Interlocal
Agreement: the City would serve as the Community Redevelopment Agency and tax increment
district funding provided to the County for the performing arts center would be capped at an
amount sufficient for the project's required capital budget with any excess available to the City for
other redevelopment activity.
On July 13, 1993, the County Commission approved an updated Performing Arts Center
Financing Plan which projected a revised bonding capacity of $ 11,908,000 from the Omni Tax
Increment District. The Commission's actions included a condition to "provide $5 million from
the bond proceeds for the Omni Tax Increment District on a Homeless Housing component,
pending its inclusion in the interlocal agreement with the City of Miami" (Clerk's Summary
Minutes, July 13, 1993).
The following is a summary chronology of the negotiation activities that followed the County
Commission's July 13, 1993 actions:
• Responding to a draft Interlocal Agreement received from the City of Miami, County
Manager Joaquin Avino transmitted a revised draft Interlocal Agreement on February 14,
1994 to City Manager Cesar Odio outlining the July 13, 1993 County Commission's actions
in regard to the performing arts center and the homeless housing component and requested
the City's review and concurrence.
• On November 17, 1994, the City of Miami Commission unanimously approved the
County's draft of the Interlocal Agreement, deleting the homeless housing component.
• From March through April 1995, you were joined by County staff from the County
Attorney's Office, Finance Department, Homeless Trust and Cultural Affairs Council in
meetings with each member of the City Commission to outline the County's position on the
Omni Tax Increment District.
• On May 4, 1995, we transmitted a revised County draft of the Interlocal Agreement to City
Manager Cesar Odio (copy attached); this draft was presented as a report to the County
Commission's Budget and Rules Committee on May 11, 1995; the Committee's response
was to request that a Manager's report be provided to the full County Commission within
90 days outlining progress on resolving outstanding issues.
• On May 11, 1995, the City Commission reviewed the County's most recent draft (May 4,
1995) of the Interlocal Agreement and decided to hold public hearings in the Omni area for
input from the District's residents.
• On June 20, 1995, we provided a written report, including an update on the Omni Tax
Increment District, to the County Commission in conjunction with a request for
authorization to begin contract negotiations with the first ranked architectural firm for the
performing arts center, Cesar Pelli and Associates. At this County Commission meeting,
Performing Arts Center Trust Chairperson Parker Thomson committed to work with the
County to find solutions to resolve the Omni Tax Increment District issues with the City.
• On June 15, 1995, the City Commission, acting in their capacity as the appointed
Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) for the Omni Tax Increment District, held its
first public hearing at The Grand Condominium and Grand Doubletree Hotel in the Omni
district.
• On June 29, 1995, the CRA held its second public hearing at the Grand Condominium and
Grand Doubletree Hotel and at the conclusion of the hearing, voted unanimously to
approve an Interlocal Agreement that provided the County with revenues from the District
sufficient to generate $10 million in bond proceeds for the performing arts center project
only, with any available excess revenues to be used by the CRA -at its discretion for District
projects.
• On'September 7, 1995, the City of Miami conveyed to County Manager Armando Vidal a
revised City draft of the Interlocal Agreement, in the form of a "redlined" amendment of
the County's May 4, 1995 draft. This City draft reflected the CRA's most recent changes.
SUMMARY ANALYSIS AND RECOM1ViENDATIONS REGARDING THE TERMS AND
CONDITIONS PROPOSED BY THE CITY OF MIAMI
The following highlights the central terms and conditions proposed by the City of Miami in their
current draft of the Interlocal Agreement (attached) and corresponding staff recommendations:
• Homeless housing, Component: the City draft does not provide for revenues for a homeless
housing component. This does not conform with current County Commission policy
(pursuant to County Commission action on July 13, 1993 to provide $5 million of Omni
District bond proceeds for a homeless housing component).
In light of the City of Miami position, the County Commission will need to re -address its
policy on this matter including an evaluation of options which you have requested.
• Revenues: the City draft provides that the first $1 million/year comes to the County for the
Performing Arts Center; this is less than the $1.43 million proposed in each of the County's
draft Interlocal Agreements and will result in a reduced capability to generate the amount
of bond proceeds projected in the County's performing arts center financing plan. The
current County financing plan for the performing arts center projects $11.9 million in bond
proceeds from the Omni Tax Increment District; the City proposal envisions approximately
$10 million in bond proceeds. The following should be noted: 1) current collections of
Omni Tax Increment District proceeds are projected at $648,000 for FY1995-96 (having
dropped from a high of $1.3 million in previous years); and 2) bond proceeds are calculated
based on the projected growth of the District's revenues, issuance of performing arts center
bonds to include all of the projects tax sources, and 1.25 bond coverage.
It is recommended that this Interlocal Agreement be amended so that the County receives
the first $1.4 million in tax increment revenues annually for the payment of debt service on
any bonds or indebtedness in an amount not less than $11.908 million incurred by the
County for its projects in the District.
• Amendment of the Redevelopment Plan: the City's transmittal of its Interlocal Agreement
does not address the need to amend the Omni Redevelopment Plan.
It is recommended that as the prerequisite to making an Interlocal Agreement effective, the
City shall initiate the amendatory process for the Redevelopment Plan, the proposed
amendment shall be satisfactory to the County Commission, and such amendment shall be
approved by the County Commission.
• Other Legal and Business Points: my office and the County Attorney's Office have
reviewed the City draft in regard to a other legal and business points.
It is recommended that the City draft be revised to reflect the following additional points:
- the County Commission should retain community redevelopment powers related to:
eminent domain having a direct impact on the County's projects in the District; final
approvals to any amendments to the Redevelopment Plan; and authorization of the
issuance of revenue bonds.
administrative expenses payable from tax increment district proceeds should be capped
at 20% of the District's annual budget.
- the County shall have the power to approve the CRA's annual budget for the district, but
failure to provide such approval shall have no impact on debt service payments of
County bonds using the district's revenues.
- the City's ability to issue bonds from tax increment district revenues shall be contingent
upon: 1) the County's issuance of bonds within 5 years or the incurring of debt of not
less than $11.908 million by the County secured by tax increment district revenues,
whichever occurs earlier; 2) the County's approval; and 3) such City bonds being
subordinate to any debt incurred by the County for projects in the district.
- the County shall have building and zoning powers during the design and construction of
the performing arts center (including permits, building inspections and issuance of
certificate of occupancy).
With the exception of the last item, all of the above additional points are contained in the
resolution sponsored by Chairman Teele.
ANALYSIS AND ALTERNATIVE SCENARIOS REGARDING HOMELESS FINANCING
As noted above, the City draft of the Interlocal Agreement does not include the funding proposed
by the County for the homeless housing component. Consequently, in discussions with Parker
Thomson, Chairperson of the Performing Arts Center Trust, options have been evaluated as
possible scenarios for utilizing performing arts center revenues to provide $5 million for the
homeless housing. The attached memorandum from Steve Spratf outlines two scenarios which
were developed in conversations with Mr. Thomson and are based upon identifying a current
County revenue source which is sufficient to provide $5 million for homeless housing and is able
to be replaced with performing arts center Convention Development Tax funds (Le., a revenue
"exchange" using Convention Development Tax funds to cover certain other County capital and
operational activities that are eligible for CDT funding support). These scenarios would require
authorization by the County Commission.
Finally , for your information, also attached is a summary of tax increment revenues generated in
connection with this District since its creation.

FROM:Stephen M. Spratt, Director

i.
DATE: December 18, 1995
SUBJECT: Alternative Approaches
to Omni Tax Increment
District Funds for Homeless
Activities
As requested and pursuant to discussions with Parker Thompson, Chairperson, Performing Arts
Center (PAC) Trust, below are two potential options for replacing the $5 million Omni Tax
Increment District Funds designated for homeless activities pursuant to the approved Performing
Arts Center Financing Plan. As discussed the principal constraint is the restricted nature of
Performing Arts Center dedicated revenues. The alternatives need to be correlated with revenues
flexible enough to support homeless activities.
The following are offered:
Option I
• Use Convention Development Tax (CDT) revenues now earmarked for the PAC to fund
Metro Dade supported cultural activities (Center for the Fine Arts, Historical Museum,
Museum of Science) supported by County general funds and eligible uses for CDT revenue.
These funds total approximately $2.2 million in FY 1995-96. If this option is pursued the
$5 million homeless funding allocation could be provided from the "freed" general fund
revenue by the Board over a 2'/4 year period.
Option H
• Use CDT revenue dedicated to the PAC to fund eligible expenses incurred by the County
for the operation of the Dade County Auditorium, Caleb Center Auditorium and African
Heritage Cultural Center and utilize funds otherwise budgeted for these facilities to
homeless activities. This revenue stream to fund homeless activities would be over a longer
period - approximately five years.
Please let me know if anything further is required.

Community Redevelopment Agency
Omni Redevelopment Area
Interlocal Agreement
Comments to the proposed Dade County amendments dated 12,/1.9/95
1. The County maintains the power to grant final approval to the Omni
Redevelopment Plan and subsequent modifications. This provision is similar
to the terms of the SEOPW interlocal agreement.
2. The County retains the power to approve the acquisition, demolition,
removal, or disposal of property and the power to assume responsibility to
bear loss. This provision could be quite cumbersome for the CRA to
undertake any activity in the area, since the County has to approve virtually
every step of CRA activities.
3. The County shall have the right to ensure that the City of Miami is complying
with the South Florida Building Code in all development activities within the
Omni Redevelopment Area. This item does not belong to this agreement.
The South Florida Building Code is applied City-wide, not just Omni Area.
If the County feels that the City is not enforcing the South Florida Building
Code then, the County should take actions accordingly.
4. The County suggest that the City contract with County to provide services in
connection with the construction, inspections and issuance of preliminary and
final CO for the Performing Arts Center development, in case the City's
Building and Zoning Department is incapable of providing such services in a
timely and efficient manner. This request is truly an insult to the City.
5. The County extends its claim for the first $1.4 million of Omni tax increment
fund dedicated for the financing of the Performing Arts Center development.
The Omni Redevelopment Area is currently generating approximately
$648,000 of annual revenue. The CRA Board limited its contribution for the
Performing Arts Center at $1.0 million, after two public hearings held in the
area last summer.
6. The County shall defer the CRA to decide use of funds for the homeless
shelter. This seems consistent with the CRA's position' as to use of tax
increment revenue for the homeless shelter.
Z Administrative expenses payable out of the tax increment revenue will be
capped at an amount not to exceed 20% of the annual budget The suggested
provision is consistent with the County's previous position on the use of tax
increments funds for the SEOPW administrative expenses.
8. The CRA is expected to prepare an annual budget and present it to the
County for approval. Failure by the County to approve the budget shall have
no impact on the debt service payment of Performing arts Center project debt
This provision is consistent with the CRA's stand on this issue.
9. The County shall issue bonds secured by tax increment revenue for the
Performing Area Center project. Such bonds shall not be less than $11.9
million and be superior to all subsequent bonds which may be issued by the
CRA for other qualified activities. The CRA officially notified the County
with respect to its unilateral support for the Performing Arts Center project
by pledging the first $1.0 million annual tax increment revenue which may
support a bond issue of $10 - $11 million, depending on conditions affecting
the bond market. However, once the proposed bond issue becomes superior to
all future debt, it will be awfully difficult for the CRA to borrow any money
against the tax increment revenue without pledging additional revenues.
10. In addition, the County demands that the Omni Redevelopment Plan be
amended to include the Performing Arts Center project. The subject
amendment shall be reviewed by the County Housing and Urban
Development Advisory Board prior to its adoption by the County
Commission at an advertised public hearing. This is a routine County
process for any amendments to redevelopment plan, thus there is no need to
include it in the interlocal agreement.
