improvement funds.

overall administrative costs related to managing on-site construction and
additional engineering, planning and construction consultants will result in the
need for the level of funding represented in the following resolution.

2003 at Virginia Key Beach Park will require additional administrative,
management and support staff for the Trust.

is now slated to begin construction in October 2003, for a period of one
year. This $5 million dollar project is 100% federally funded.
2) Architectural and Engineering planning for the $1.2 million dollar
restoration of existing buildings is complete. Low bid specifications for the
project are complete and it is scheduled to begin September 30, 2003.
These buildings represent the historical centerpiece of Virginia Key Beach
Park.
3) Water and Sewer Improvements are included in the design and
engineering work currently in process. The Water and Sewer Agreement
(WASA) between the Miami -Dade Water and Sewer Authority and the city
of Miami is nearing approval, pending a minor modification. $750,000 in
Sanitary Sewer Bond Funds has been made available for the project. An
additional $450,000 is required to cover the entire costs of these
improvements. This Sanitary Sewer Project has a projected construction
start date of May 2004. The surveying, planning and drawings are already
in progress.
4) The Army Corps of Engineers Section 1135 — Ecosystem Restoration
project is being moved onto a "fast track;" construction is anticipated to
begin September 2004. This project has an estimated cost of $2.7 million
dollars with a 75%-25% federal -city match.
5) The Site Planning Process, with consultant Wallace Roberts and Todd
began in September 2002 and concluded in July 2003. Through a series
of community input opportunities, the Master Plan for the Park has been
finalized and approved by the Virginia Key Beach Park Trust, the Parks
Advisory Board, the Waterfront Advisory Board and was presented to the
City Commission. The Plan will serve as a blueprint for the future use of
the Park, including additional buildings and amenities. The overall cost of
completing this plan is approximately $24 million.
6) The Cultural Center/Museum Complex will become the icon of the new
historic Virginia Key Beach Park. The 25,000-30,000 square foot complex
will house traditional museum space, meeting rooms, dining and banquet
facilities, a cafe, gift shop, nature center and administrative offices. The
planning and design phase has begun; the Master Plan development is
scheduled for late 2003.

installation of the Carousel and Mini -Train, estimated at $450,000 are
