NOTE: This project scope could expand, if the City of Miami Police Department pursues a comprehensive training facility that will be
utilized to provide Homeland Domestic Security Training to other Local, State and Federal Law Enforcement Agencies. Consideration is
also being given to provide training to Caribbean and Latin American Law Enforcement Agencies, possibly through a U.S. State
Department program. This concept would require additional building structure, parking, field training areas and possibly a driving range.
Additional personnel would also be required. It is possible that Federal agency funding commitments, grants or legislatively earmarked
funding could be committed toward this concept. Many agencies would pay for attendance at these courses.
This concept would take a much longer time to pursue. Getting Federal funding, firm agency commitments, then developing a
comprehensive plan would require considerable time. Land acquisition would also add time to the project. This additional time may
prevent the Police Department use of these much needed training facilities for development of our MPD personnel.

SLa,:ECT Bond Issue — Streets and
Drainage
REFERENCES
ENCLOSURES.
FILE
As part and parcel of the Homeland Defense/Neighborhood Improvement Bond Program, the
category dealing with Streets and Drainage was sub -divided into eight areas of interest:
✓ Flagami Storm Water Mitigation
$10 Million
✓ Grand Avenue Improvements
3 Million
✓ Coral Way Improvements
3 Million
✓ Calle Ocho Improvements
6 Million
✓ NE 2nd Avenue Improvements (36th St. to 78th St.)
6 Million
✓ Model City Infrastructure Improvements
6 Million
✓ Design District/FEC Corridor Improvements
10 Million
✓ Downtown Infrastructure Improvements
10 Million
Since the approval of the Bond Program, the administration has had the opportunity to thoroughly
review each of these areas of interest and concluded that additional guidance and policy direction
is needed from the elected leadership of the City Miami (City) prior to moving forward with
possible recommendations.
Each category listed above, except for the Flagami Strom Water Mitigation Project, is either in the
planning, design, or conceptual stage of development. It is imperative that we ascertain vital
information from each of the involved parties; thereby, allowing us to move forward on these
projects in a timely and efficient manner. The administration is of the opinion that by taking a
project -by -project review, it will provide for the maximization of municipal resources and enhance
the nature of each of these projects.
Therefore, it is the recommendation of the Administration that we, the Administration and the
elected leadership of the City of Miami, workshop this particular issue in greater detail.

As part and parcel of the Homeland Defense/Neighborhood Improvement Bond Program, the
category dealing with Quality of Life Issues was sub -divided into five areas:
✓ Neighborhood Quality of Life Improvements $25 Million
✓ Greenways 2 Million
✓ Museum of Science 3.5 Million
✓ Museum of Art 3.5 Million
✓ Neighborhood Gateways 4 Million
Since the approval of the Bond Program, the administration has had the opportunity to thoroughly
review each of these sub -categories and concluded that additional guidance and policy direction
is needed from the elected leadership of the City Miami (City) prior to moving forward with
possible recommendations.
Each category however, does present a unique and rare opportunity for the City to maximize its
resources and to wisely invest in improving the aesthetics of the City, providing unique gateways
into historic neighborhoods and frequently traveled entrances into the City, as well as providing
scenic greenways and developing a world class Museum of Art and Science.
Therefore, it is the recommendation of the Administration that we, the administration and the
elected leadership of the City of Miami, workshop this particular issue in greater detail.

Proposed Project:
Historic Resources Survey and Designation Reports
This project includes a comprehensive citywide historic resources survey and the preparation of designation reports for
historic sites and districts. Historic resources surveys form the cornerstone of all historic preservation efforts. Most
historic and archaeological resources are initially identified through a survey. In the City of Miami, there are approximately
55,000 parcels that were built prior to 1960. In order to have a truly successful preservation program, a community must
initially establish the value and significance of its historic resources through a field survey. A survey results in an
inventory of information on specific properties evaluated as significant. Inventories contain information on historic and
archeological resources identified during the survey, as well as areas surveyed that do not contain historic properties.
Properties identified during the survey process provide the information base from which preservation professionals
evaluate properties for historic designation. The results of a survey are also integrated into the comprehensive planning
process so that planning and land -use decisions are based on all available information.
A comprehensive historic resources survey expedites the permitting of new development, as well as the rehabilitation of
historic properties. It facilitates the designation process and assists homeowners and neighborhood associations that
request historic designation.

PROJECT CRITERIA
Projected Time Line:
5 years
Estimated Cost (Expenditure Required Per Year):
Year One: $200,000
Year Two: 200,000
Year Three: 200,000
Year Four: 200,000
Year Five: 200,000
Project Total: $1,000,000
Will Land Acquisition Be Required? If so, how much? No
Job Creation Potential (First Source Hiring Agreement): Minimal
Economic Development Impact:
Historic designation enhances property values and stimulates private investment in an area.
Tourism Impact:
Heritage and cultural tourism is the fastest-growing segment of the tourism industry. Forty-six percent of all U.S. adult
travelers included a cultural, arts, heritage or historic activity while on a trip during the previous year. Of these travelers,
visiting a historic site was the most popular cultural activity. Visitors to historic sites stay longer and spend more money
than other kinds of tourists. For example, while the average U.S. traveler spends $425 and 3.3 nights away from home
per trip, visitors to historic and cultural attractions sites spend $615 and 4.7 nights. Their spending can help diversify a
local economy and preserve the community's character.
Operational Impact (Once completed will this project require additional funding from the City of Miami to
operate?):
One additional staff member in the Planning and Zoning Department may be required to process applications for
Certificates of Appropriateness for properties in new historic districts that may be designated.

Public Safety Impact:
When neighborhoods are designated as historic districts, they generally become more desirable places to live, and public
safety is enhanced.
Synergistic Relationship Between Bond vs. Non Bond Projects:
This will continue the current survey and designation activity that is underway using Community Development funds. It
will further complement the renewed effort by the Miami -Dade County Historic Preservation Office to update the Dade
County Historic Survey, which was completed in 1978. The City has relied on this survey, which has not been updated in
25 years.

Former Black Police Precinct - Rehabilitation
Is this item expressly identified in the Proposed G.O. Bond Issue List of Projects?
No
Total Amount Allocated:
$500,000 out of a total estimated cost of $1.1 million
PROJECT CRITERIA
Projected Time Line:
This project includes a contribution to the rehabilitation of the former Black Police Precinct for use as a museum and
center for youth activities in Overtown. Completion Time: 2 years
Estimated Cost (Expenditure Required Per Year):
Year One: $250,000
Year Two: 250,000
Project Total: $500,000
Will Land Acquisition Be Required? If so, how much?
No. The building is owned by the City.
Job Creation Potential (First Source Hiring Agreement):
The rehabilitation project may create construction jobs. Once completed, local users of the center could generate
incidental employment, such as docents and others who would conduct programs in the building.
Economic Development Impact:
The rehabilitation of the building could serve as a catalyst in the revitalization of Overtown. Studies show that $1 million
spend on non-residential historic rehabilitation generates $79,000 more in income and $110,000 more in wealth than the
same amount of money spent on new construction.
Tourism Impact:
Heritage and cultural tourism is the fastest-growing segment of the tourism industry. Forty-six percent of all U.S. adult
travelers included a cultural, arts, heritage or historic activity while on a trip during the previous year. Of these travelers,
visiting a historic site was the most popular cultural activity. Visitors to historic sites stay longer and spend more money

per trip, visitors to historic and cultural attractions sites spend $615 and 4.7 nights. Their spending can help diversify a
local economy and preserve the community's character.
Operational Impact (Once completed, will this project require additional funding from the City of Miami to
operate?):
The City will likely continue to be responsible for maintaining the building, although the operation of the building would be
the responsibility of the lessee.

Tourism Impact:
As the former Pan American Terminal Building, City Hall is a tourist destination in Coconut Grove. Heritage and cultural
tourism is the fastest-growing segment of the tourism industry. Forty-six percent of all U.S. adult travelers included a
cultural, arts, heritage or historic activity while on a trip during the previous year. Of these travelers, visiting a historic site
was the most popular cultural activity. Visitors to historic sites stay longer and spend more money than other kinds of

No
Total Amounted Allocated:
$500,000, out of a total estimated cost of $6 million
PROJECT CRITERIA
Projected Time Line:
This project will complete the restoration of the theater and lobby and will include those specialized restoration elements,
such as decorative painting, historic lighting and other similar elements for which the Department of Off -Street Parking
has been unable to obtain grant funding. Completion Time: 1 Year
Estimated Cost (Expenditure Required Per Year):
Year One: $500,000
Project Total: $500,000
Will Land Acquisition Be Required? If so, how much?
No. The building is owned by the City.
Job Creation Potential (First Source Hiring Agreement):
The restoration project may create specialized construction jobs.
Economic Development Impact:
Gusman Theater is the cornerstone in the revitalization of Downtown Miami. The completion of the restoration of the
theater will increase its marketability and provide a more inviting venue to attract residents and visitors to Downtown.
Gusman will continue to make the theater available to all groups within the community, as well as school children.
Tourism Impact:
Gusman Theater is a significant tourist destination in Downtown Miami, and could be a greater draw once the restoration
is completed. Heritage and cultural tourism is the fastest-growing segment of the tourism industry. Forty-six percent of all
U.S. adult travelers included a cultural, arts, heritage or historic activity while on a trip during the previous year. Of these
travelers, visiting a historic site was the most popular cultural activity. Visitors to historic sites stay longer and spend more

City have no markers. The placement of markers on all locally designated historic properties will draw attention to these
buildings and increase public awareness of our history. Historic markers or plaques can also be placed in the City of
Miami Cemetery to identify those significant individuals buried there and the contribution they have made to the City.
Completion Time: 1 Year
Estimated Cost (Expenditure Required Per Year):
Year One: None
Year Two: $50,000
Project Total: $50,000
Will Land Acquisition Be Required? If so, how much? No
Job Creation Potential (First Source Hiring Agreement): Minimal
Economic Development Impact: Historic designation enhances property values and stimulates private investment in an
area.
Tourism Impact: A historic marker program can be a definite magnet for tourists. Heritage and cultural tourism is the
fastest-growing segment of the tourism industry. Forty-six percent of all U.S. adult travelers included a cultural, arts,
heritage or historic activity while on a trip during the previous year. Of these travelers, visiting a historic site was the most
popular cultural activity. Visitors to historic sites stay longer and spend more money than other kinds of tourists. For
example, while the average U.S. traveler spends $425 and 3.3 nights away from home per trip, visitors to historic and
cultural attractions sites spend $615 and 4.7 nights. Their spending can help diversify a local economy and preserve the
community's character.
Operational Impact (Once completed, will this project require additional funding from the City of Miami to
operate?): Minimal impact. The City will be required to maintain the markers.

Public Safety Impact:
The new markers will identify historic properties, increasing identity and visibility.
Synergistic Relationship Between Bond vs. Non Bond Projects:
This will complement the historic marker program initiated by the Orange Blossom Initiative, approved by the City
Commission and partially funded by the City. This program will place markers on historic sites, most of which are no
longer standing. The project will further complement the markers that have been installed on Charles Avenue in Coconut
Grove and along the Miami River.

PROJECT CRITERIA
Projected Time Line: This project will replace existing street signs in the City's four historic districts with new, more
aesthetically pleasing signs that also contain the name of the historic district. Residents of the City's four historic districts
(Morningside, Buena Vista East, Bayside, Spring Garden) have repeatedly requested street signs that identify their
neighborhoods as historic and that also contain the original names of the streets. Completion Time: 1 Year
Estimated Cost (Expenditure Required Per Year):
Year One: $60,000
Project Total: $60,000
Will Land Acquisition Be Required? If so, how much? No
Job Creation Potential (First Source Hiring Agreement): Minimal
Economic Development Impact: In residential historic districts, property values appreciate significantly faster than the
market as a whole. Historic designation enhances property values and stimulates private investment in an area.
Tourism Impact: Heritage and cultural tourism is the fastest-growing segment of the tourism industry. Forty-six percent
of all U.S. adult travelers included a cultural, arts, heritage or historic activity while on a trip during the previous year. Of
these travelers, visiting a historic site was the most popular cultural activity. Visitors to historic sites stay longer and
spend more money than other kinds of tourists. For example, while the average U.S. traveler spends $425 and 3.3 nights
away from home per trip, visitors to historic and cultural attractions sites spend $615 and 4.7 nights. Their spending can
help diversify a local economy and preserve the community's character.
Operational Impact (Once completed, will this project require additional funding from the City of Miami to
operate?): Minimal impact. The City will be required to maintain the signs and pay for replacement signs as required.

Public Safety Impact:
The new street signs will identify the neighborhoods as historic districts, increasing neighborhood identity and visibility.
Neighborhoods that are designated as historic districts generally are more desirable places to live, and public safety is
enhanced.
Synergistic Relationship Between Bond vs. Non Bond Projects:
This will complement the investment that is taking place in all four of the City's historic districts. Such street signs will
increase neighborhood identity and pride.
