ENCLOSUREgesolution & Amendment
The administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the
City Manager to accept the conveyance of the property located at 613 NW 7 Street Road, Miami,
Florida (the "Property") from East Coast Advertising, Inc., a * Florida corporation. This Resolution
also authorizes the City Manager to execute an Amendment, in substantially the attached form, to the
Management Agreement dated August 19, 1999, with the Spring Garden Civic Association, Inc., a
Florida not-for-profit corporation ("Association"), to provide for the Association's management,
operation and maintenance of the Property. Additionally, this Resolution authorizes the City Manager
to execute any necessary documents, in a form acceptable to the City Attorney, to accomplish the
acquisition of the Property and the amendment to the Agreement.
BACKGROUND:
Pursuant to Resolution No. 99-426, the City entered into a Management Agreement (the "Agreement")
dated August 19, 1999 with the Association, which provided for the management, operation and
maintenance of Spring Garden Point Park located at the confluence of the Miami River and the Seybold
Canal in Spring Garden (the "Point Park"). The Agreement contained a management plan that sets
forth how the site will be managed to further the purpose of the project, contains a description of all
planned improvements to Point Park, identifies the cost of the site improvements, and identifies the
management entity.
The property located adjacent to Point Park contains a historic structure originally constructed in 1915.
The Association determined that this building would compliment the use of Point Park by providing a
venue for meetings, park events and classroom space for educational programs and should be acquired
as an extension of Point Park. The Association applied for Community Development Block Grant
Funds to pay for the acquisition of this site, which will be conveyed to the City at closing.
The proposed amendment will provide for the Association to manage, operate and maintain the
Property as part of Point Park. The Association will procure professional services to develop
schematics for the structure's re -use, and the building and site will be landscaped and stabilized for
structural integrity and safety. Through a fundraising campaign by the Association, funds will be
sought to complete the building to the desired specifications.

community and contracted work on the site; doing routine maintenance such as removal of trash and
debris; providing access to service personnel and vehicles to the utility easement; and, operating the
Crime Watch strategy for the neighborhood nearest the park, as the crime watch provides 24-hour

River and Greenway will become a de on landsapc, creating
reoccwTing meraw to the City of Miami with adjoining busineues,
