FLORIDA37 INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM Honorable Mayor and Members o�rE JUL - 8 1998 of the City Commission SUBJECT FROM. � - REFERENCES H. W5arshaw ENCLOSURES: City Manager Virrick Gym Discussion Motion No. 98-473 FILE Motion, Site Plans, Program Matrix RECOMMENDATION It is i espectfully recommended that the City Commission entertain a discussion of issues relating to the Virrick Gym, pursuant to Motion 98-473 adopted May 12, 1998. BACKGROUND The Department of Parks and Recreation is prepared to present information regarding the future redevelopment, use and operation of the Virrick Gym site (also known as the U.S. Coast Guard Air Station at Dinner Key) as directed by the Commission at its May 12, 1998 meeting. In this effort, the Departments of Planning and Development, Public Works, Building and Zoning and the City Attorney's Office provided invaluable assistance. Following the Commission's directive, we suggest the topics listed below as guides to facilitate the discussion. 1. Site Plan and Structures In discussions leading up to Motion No. 98-473, the Commission indicated its continued support for the redevelopment of the site as a community water sports and recreation center. However, the Commission also directed that the Administration attempt to limit structures on the site to those which could be contained within the footprint of the existing buildings, namely, the hangarand the 3djaceni annex ;office) buildings ,a total of roughly 27,000 square feet. Additionally, the Commission specifically requested a recommendation from staff as to the disposition of the annex (often referred to as the "pink building"), which actually consists rf three sections: a two-story office block built in 1942, a one story building that connects the hangar and office also built in 1942, and a small addition built after 1950 that is currently used for storage. Staff from Parks, Public Works and Planning have spoken at length with potential users, Richard Heisenbottle (the historic preservation architect for Phase 1 of the project) and top staff of the Building and Zoning Department and have devised a preliminary conceptual plan for the site (copy attached) which retains the 2-story portion of the annex, but would remove the 1-story connection building and the small addition and replace those structures with a new building designed for the intended programs. In reaching this recommendation, it was found that this alternative is most advantageous, as it best addresses the critical issues of programming, cost, historic preservation and structural condition. Requested Action: Approve the Conceptual Plan for Building & Site Redevelopment • • • Honorable Mayor and mbers of the City Commission page 2 2. Programs and Program Providers Motion 98-473 also stipulated that the City Commission and the Parks and Recreation Department would determine which organizations would provide programming at the site, beginning with Shake -A -Leg Miami, the Police Athletic League ("PAL"), and the YMCA of Greater Miami. Starting with that premise, we have forged an outline of proposed programs to be offered at the site (copy attached) which is intended to permit broad public access to and use of the facility. This is matched by a conceptual floor plan that presents many areas designed for multi -use. The use program we envision provides for programming of particular areas on a regular basis by the City's Parks Department, Shake -A -Leg, PAL, and the YMCA, and that these areas, as well as the multipurpose areas, would be made available to any other community group or i�idividual by issuance 71 of a standard "park permit". With input from the Law Department, we foresee that long term use agreements may be negotiated and entered into with Shake -A -Leg and the YMCA to govern their programming, use, and financial contributions to the operation of the facility. Requested Action: Approve, in principle, the proposed Programming Plan for the site and direct the Administration to immediately commence negotiations and return to the Commission for approval of Use Agreements with the YMCA of Greater Miami and Shake -A -Leg Miami for programming of the site. 3. Current Competitive Process for Design Services Provided that the City Commission finds the above recommendations to be satisfactory, an additional matter requires input from the Commission. With the Commission's prior approval (Resolution No. 97-867), the Planning and Development Department has administered a c ;mpetitive selection process to hire a consulting team to plan and design the remaining improvements of the entire site, primarily the work discussed under Section 1 of this memorandum. This process needs to be legally concluded for the City to proceed with the capital improvement aspect of the project. (Note that fees for design consultant services are to be covered from the capital improvement funds for the Virrick Gym project.) The City's options are: a) to proceed with the selection of a consultant under the current process and committee ranking, and, during negotiations, modify and/or reduce the scope of work to exclude that portion of the planning process recently completed by staff for this exercise; b) to proceed under the current process and either the City Commission or the City Manager appoint a new selection committee (pursuant to Section 18- 81(e)(8) of the City Code) to review the proposals a second time, resulting in a new ranking of consulting teams, submit that new ranking to the Commission for approval, and then proceed to negotiations, excluding that portion of the planning process recently completed by staff; c) to cancel the current process and repeat by designating a "new" project for design purposes and seeking new proposals, again reducing the scope of work and revising requirements to emphasize experience with sizable historic preservation projects, and/or with marketing and feasibility analyses. 58- 7iS Honorable Mayor an. tembers of the City Commission page 3 d) to cancel the current process and request that the City Manager review the current situation and in light of the immediate need for design services, consider the potential to declare a valid public emergency, then utilize the services of consultants (Duany, Plater-Zyberk, Architects and Heisenbottle Architects) previously hired for Phase 1 of the project (hangar restoration) 98- 7A CITY OF MIAMI - VIRRICK GYM REGIONAL WATER SPORTS AND RECREATION CENTER PROPOSED PROGRAMMING DRAFT WATERSPORTS FITNESS WELLNESS TRAINING_ • RECREATIONAL WATER SPORTS for Youth PARKS ♦ - RESISTANCE TRAINING YMCA • ADAPTIVE RECREATIONAL SAILING: Disabilities PARKS & SHAKE -A -LEG ♦ CARDIOVASCULAR EXERCISE 1 YMCA • program clients ADAPTIVE SAILING INSTRUCTION, Recreational Sails SNAKE -A -LEG ♦ ♦ TESTING LAB ADAPTIVE STRENGTH TRAINING YMCA • SAILING INSTRUCTION (individual, group, basic & SHAKE -A -LEG ♦ THERAPEUTIC EXERCISE SHAKE -A -LEG &YMCA SHAKE -A -LEG &YMCA advanced) • GROUP WATERSPORTS RECREATION & EVENTS SHAKE -A -LEG • COMPETITIVE SAILING, KAYAKING SHAKE -A -LEG & PARKS MOVEMENT & DANCE • SAILING LEAGUES SHAKE -A -LEG & PARKS ♦ AEROBICS & CONDITIONING: Aerobics, Conditioning YMCA • OTHER WATER SPORTS INSTRUCTION - Scuba/skin SHAKE -A -LEG & PARKS Classes, Group exercise diving, Fishing, Water-skiing, Scout merit badges/sailing, Boating safety, Wind surfing ♦ DANCE: Ballet, Jazz, Modern Dance, Tap, Gymnastics YMCA & PARKS ♦ BOAT & EQUIPMENT RENTAL SHAKE -A -LEG conditioning COMMUNITY EDUCATION, CULTURAL & SPECIAL EVENTS INDOOR SPORTS ♦ WELLNESS PROGRAMS: Smoking Cessation, Weight & YMCA, PARKS.

Atlanta, Georgia 30M IN REPLY REFER TO: S7417 (SERO-RG) T-FL-653 May 29, 1998 Mr. Jose Garcia -Pedrosa City Manager City of Miami 444 SW 2nd Avenue loth Floor Miami, Florida 33130 Dear Mr. Garcia -Pedrosa: we would like to take this opportunity to provide you with information on the National Park Service's Federal Lands -to -Parks (FLIP) Program and specifically on the Virrick Gym and Boat Ramp Park property. Formerly known as the U.S. Coast Guard Miami Air Station, Dinner Key, the Virrick Gym was conveyed through the FLTP Program at no cost to the city of Miami on February 11, 1972 for public park and public recreation area purposes in perpetuity. While the Virrick Gym Park is the only property we have conveyed to Miami, seven properties have been conveyed to Miami -Dade County, including the property which has been developed as Metrozoo. The most recent real property transfer in Miami -Dade County is the 213- acre portion of the closing Homestead Air Force Base (estimated market value $10 million). In 1979, Miami Beach received the. property now developed and known as South Pointe Park and in two conveyances, Coral Gables. received title to the Biltmore Golf Course and Tennis Center. All -in -all, the Federal Lands -to -Parks Program has glade a significant contribution to the park and recreation opportunities for all Miami -Dade County residents. During the past several years, we have received numerous public inquires about non -park and recreation use of the Virrick Gym & Boat Ramp Park property from concerned local residents. Their concerns have also been reported by local newspapers. These citizens have expressed concerns about: The parking area on the Virrick Gym Park property being used for commercial (non -park) purposes by patrons of adjacent businesses (We advised the city to resolve this issue in 1989 and in several letters since then.); 98- 718 the boat ramp which has been closed and remains closed; Shake -A -Leg, the current concessionaire at the Park, has been removed from the Gym and relocated into trailers in the parking lot reportedly due to the continued lack of repairs to the roof of the Hangar; the potential threat of removing the historic buildings (the Hangar and Annex Buildings), which is clearly against the expressed wishes of the local community; the availability and disposition of the FEMA money which became available after Hurricane Andrew; the bond money which became available thru the recently -passed safe parks bond referendum; the fees paid to the Park Department for the short-term, non - recreational use of the Virrick Gym Park property by a film company and/or the re -roofing of the Annex Building in lieu of or in addition to the payments made to the city; Based upon the above issues which have been expressed in numerous contacts with this office, it is evident that the local community sincerely cares about and supports the continuation of a public park on the Virrick Gym property. Also, it is evident that correction of identified, serious compliance problems at this property has been ignored by the city for many years. Therefore, because of the serious issues at Virrick Gym Park, we will continue to monitor the city' s efforts to resolve these compliance problems. Please be assured that we will continue to provide technical assistance to you and your staff for the resolution of the compliance issues. Over the past several years, we have developed a positive working relationship with both Mr. Alberto Ruder, Director, Department of Parks and Recreation, and Ms. Dianne Johnson, Development Coordinator, Planning and Development Division. Our role has been, and will continue to be, to assist your office with the review and approval of concession agreements (Shake -A -Leg, YMCA, or others); with amendments to the Program of Utilization; with the review of plans for the restoration of the entire site to public park use only; and with compliance with the requirements A Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (the Hangar and Annex buldings). We understand that there are complex issues to be resolved in the restoration of the Dinner Key waterfront complex, including this property, and such efforts will take time. We also understand that there is significant funding available from the bond referendum for the redevelopment of this park. Due to the concerns expressed by local citizens, we request that your office provide immediate assurances to the community that the planning for the full public park use of the site will continue uninterrupted and the community's concerns and suggestions will be included in those plans. We concur with the community's statements that this 98- 718 property has been underutilized and neglected for far too long and that the non -park related use of the parking area must be resolved immediately - Within 30 days from the date of this letter, we request that you provide us with a summary of the recent actions you have taken to resolve the noncompliance issues at Virrick Gym Park. By copy of this letter, we are requesting that Mr. Ruder provide us with the currently due biennial report for the Virrick Gym property (a routine requirement included in the deed for the property). We are enclosing updated suggestions to assist Mr. Ruder with this report. For your convenience, your response and Mr. Ruder's biennial report may be combined into one document. Thank you for your cooperation and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 404-562-3175. Sincerely, William L.

Atlanta, Georgia 30303 404-5 6 2-3175 Information/issues to be Included in Biennial Reports: The purpose of the biennial report is to provide a series of checkpoints following the transfer of Federal surplus real property to a State or local governing body, to determine if the property is being developed and used according to the original or amended park development plan and in conformance with the Deed of Conveyance. The biennial report is periodically confirmed by onsite compliance Inspections by National Park Service (NPS) staff. If development is proceeding according to plan and as scheduled, the biennial report can be a brief narrative describing the progress made, the use the area Is receiving, and the necessary assurances that the restrictive covenants in the deed are being adhered to as discussed in the points below. POINTS TO ADDRESS: PROGRAM OF UTILIZATION: The first step in preparing the report is to review the Program of Utilization (POU), which is part of the original application, and the Deed of Conveyance. The POU should be reviewed to determine whether development and use of the area are proceeding according to plan or whether a request for an amendment to the POU should be submitted along with the biennial report. State the percentage of completion of the POU and, If needed, provide a revised completion date. The site plan should agree with the POU and the actual development on the ground. If revisions have been made, please send a copy of your revised site plan to NPS. POU AMENDMENTS: If park development plans have changed since the application was approved or since the previous biennial reports, these changes will need to be discussed. The POU and site plan as submitted in the application are legally incorporated into the deed and any changes must be requested by the recipient, approved by NPS, and be incorporated in the official file. The requirement to document proposed changes is not intended to inhibit reasonable and beneficial Improvements. The intent is to provide a rational procedure for accomplishing needed changes with both parties being kept fully informed. Sometimes, applications are prepared on short notice and without full consideration of what can realistically be accomplished or within specific time frames. 98- 718 CONCESSION AGREEMENTS: All third party concession agreements must be reviewed and approved in advance by NPS. Concession agreements can be useful by obtaining specialized expertise for the development and operation of recreational facilities such as a golf course. Have all agreements been.forwarded to NPS for review? OTHER LEGAL AGREEMENTS: All special use permits, utility easements, exchanges, rights -of -way, etc., must be reviewed and approved in advance by NPS. Have all such agreements been forwarded to NPS for review? FINANCIAL STATEMENT. What are the annual budgets and operating costs for this property? List revenue expended towards development since the previous biennial report. List all revenue received (entrance fees, concession agreement payments, etc.) and how it has been expended. Please note: All revenue generated on park and recreation surplus properties must be used for further park development, operation, or maintenance. Under no circumstances may revenue be utilized for non -park and recreation purposes. PHOTOGRAPHS: if you have not previously provided them, photographs showing the required park acknowledgement sign and overall park development should be attached to the report. HISTORIC PROPERTIES: Is or has this property been listed on the National Register of Historic Places? CONTAMINATION: Has any hazardous substance dating from past uses of the property been identified? If so, NPS should be notified. DEED OF CONVEYANCE: The Deed of Conveyance generally has nine covenants agreed to between the applicant and NPS (acting for the Secretary of the Interior). The report should confirm adherence to these covenants: 1. Stipulates that the property shall be used for the public park and recreation purposes for which it was conveyed and Incorporates the Program of Utilization and site plan. 2. Requires that within 6 months a permanent sign will be erected indicating that the property is a park or recreation area and has been acquired through the Federal Lands -to -Parks Program of the National Park Service, Department of the Interior, for use by the general public. 2 98- '78 3. Contains a restriction against leasing or selling except for approved third party concession agreements for the operation of specialized recreational facilities or services. 4. Requires the submission of a biennial report. 5. Provides for reversion of the property to the United States of America if needed national defense (usually In older deeds). 6. Requires compliance with provisions of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. 7. Requires that the facilities and programs on the property will be accessible to the handicapped, 8. Development of properties listed on or eligible for listing on the National Register of Historic Places will be coordinated with the State Historic Preservation Office. 9.Outline actions *in the event there Is a breach of any of the conditions or covenants.

Dear Mr. Marquez:_ -+ a Pursuant to your January 22nd, 1997 letter, enclosed please find our 10 year Profit and Loss Projection assuming a 15% reduction in the number of boat slips available. As mentioned to you in my January 22nd, 1997 letter pertaining to the CPA report, at the first Selection Committee meeting, Mr. Jack Luff informed the people in endance that: the City had obtained 150 dry slips and 126 wet slips, and that he was working in obtaining additional permits. Our understanding, and I believe the understanding of the other people in attendance as well, was that there would be no problems in getting the permits discussed by'Mr. Luff. Should we be selected by the City Commissioners, we will pursue all avenues to obtain the number of permits previously discussed with Mr. Luff. In our proposal, we offered to share with the City, for a period of ten years, 50%- of the tax savings resulting from the restoration of the hangars to help defray the operational cost of the Virrick Gym. Please be advised that we are willing to guarantee a minimum of $100,000 per year for a period of ten years for such tax savings. Additionally, such amount will not be restricted to defray the operational cost 9 8 - 7i8 Mr. Edward Marquez, Manager City of Miami -- January 29th, 1997 Page Two of the Virrick Gym, but could be used by the City as it sees fit.

Liebman and I am the owner of a local Dance and Gymnastics company On Coconut Grove. I currently have Dance and Gymnastics programs in Palm Beach county and Coconut Grove. Recently I was informed of the new Verrick Gym renovations that are underway. Since I am unable to be present at the meeting on June 23,1998 1 am formally requesting space when the renovations are completed. My programs cover all forms of Dance and Gymnastics. Including Ballet, Jazz, Tap, Creative Movement, Progressive Gymnastics and Rhythmic Gymnastics. Age groups start at two years old. In addition, I" Tommy, Daddy �E Me classes are offered for infants starting at six months old. The special needs children are also very Important to my company. I would be able to offer children with disabilities an equal opportunity to take part In all classes catering to them. Whether they are physically or mentally challenged, we have a program for them! I am requesting space for a Dance studio and Gymnastics classes at the Verrick Gym. The old storage room located there would be a good space to start In. Also space for an office to meet with parents would be necessary. As a resident of Coconut Grove, I want the "Kidz of The Grove' to have a Performing Arts location. As the renovations will take some time, I am willing to give my expertise in completing this potential Performing Arts location. I know exactly what kind of construction this project will need. Please contact me as to my request and I look forward to working with you to meet our goal- the children! Sincerely, Ellen D.

John Ireland 175 S.W. 15 Road Miami, F1.33129 DEAR SIR: I am writing you to officially REQUEST "Space & Time" slots inside and at the City of Miami's VIRRICK GYM PARK YOUTH RECREATIONAL CENTER, that is to be re -built at this Historical Coast Guard Base, My name is BRUCE REEP, and I have been coaching ROLLER HOCKEY in Coconut Grove for the past four years as part of the P.A.L. & CITY sponsored Coconut Grove Youth Roller Hockey League. We have over 100 + youths (kids) from the Coconut Grove & West Grove area (including a new P.A.L. sponsored Flagami Team) who presently practice in the Coconut Grove Youth Hockey League Programs. There are an additional 400 + "Kids" who come to the Grove during a "season" from all over Dade County to play against our teams. I am Officially Requesting on behalf of our Youth Hockey Players the following: I. The STORAGE SPACE, possibly in the loft of the Gym, for our 50 number of Roller Hockey "Side Bumpers" each being (1 Oft. long x 8" wide x 12" high), which are necessary for us to play Hockey properly. II. That `TIME & SPACE" be allotted for our 5 to 8 Hockey Teams after school, early evenings, Mon. thru Fri. practices, and games on Fridays & Saturdays as well as Summer Slots indoors for our Youth Hockey League. We would also NEED to have our "Play -Off & Championship" games which would include our AWARDS TROPHEY CEREMONIES / CELEBRATION at the VRUUCK GYM YOUTH COMMUNITY CENTER. 98- 718 III. We also would NEED use of Two x TEAM "locker rooms", of which each, should include room for 20 plus players with adequate benches, 6 ft. tall "lockers" for getting dressed "geared up", also male & female showers with adjoining bathrooms nearby. IV. We are also Officially Requesting the "Space" and possibly the "Funding" to build a `Regu- lation Size" Roller Hockey Rink with side boards, lights, team & penalty benches, fencing, score boards and two x small bleachers. This is NEEDED because the older Youths, 12 to 17 year old "teenagers" are at a "HIGHER RISK" of bad influences and are to Tall & Fast to play on the smaller Hockey Rinks. Most of the other teams from Dade County areas,that they play against have "full size" rinks to practice & compete at. We need to stay "competitive" to keep their in- terest and their attendances up. The "NEEDED SPACE" for the Regulation Size Hockey Rink is 100 ft. x 200 ft. and the "COST" should be around $125,000 to $150,000. This should be considered a very GOOD investment, by our City Commissioners and the Mayor, for the 500 + "KIDS" it would serve as a "Safe Neighborhood Place to GO", when they look at the $30,000 we pay for each "Kid", to go through the Juvenile Criminal System because our leaders and other adults DIDN'T give those "Kids" a "Safe Place to Go". Not withstanding, the incredible "COST" of "Juvenile Crime" on our local community and residents. The City of Miami has $1.2 million in Hurricane Andrew & Florida Historical funds and an additional $3.8 million for the Dade County's "Safe Neighborhood Parks" Bond funds and the Y.M.C.A. has offered an additional $2 million to this VIR.RICK GYM COMMUNITY YOUTH RECREATIONAL and WATERSPORTS CENTER, for a total of $7 million available for this project. And there are possibly other funds and grants that may be available through P.A.L. and the City of Miami Parks Department. This could become a "WORLD CLASS" YOUTH RECREATIONAL AND WATERSPORTS CENTER. So............ I am going to ask you please think about serving 500 + "KIDS" with a "SAFE PLACE TO GO" for the same $150,000 that we already spend to send just FIVE to TEN kids through the JUVENILE CRIMINAL SYSTEM. PLEASE? Consider our children in your Capital Improvement Plans of "utilization and programming" at this VIRRICK GYM PARK. Please help us help our "KIDS"? THANK YOU, Sincerely COACH BRUCE REEP ti • • HELPING KIDS Volunteers are the real `crime fighters' I wish you could have been at the awards luncheon for the Tasmanian Devils last Saturday.

They play against 100 children from other leagues, so that's more than 200 children. Ask yourself what percentage of -these children would be involved in crime; and multiply by $35,000 per child.

Reep: As a resident of Coconut Grove since 1951, I am requesting that you follow through with the City of Miami Planning Department's sponsored Virrick Gym Charrett Study 1993 objectives that were adopted by the City Commission. 1. Restore the Virrick Gym and adjoining park. 2. Repair and reopen the Virrick Gym's public boat ramp and vehicle and trailer parking which would alleviate the over crowding of the Seminole boat ramp. 3. The Virrick Gym park area should be available for park use. This land is federally dedicated as a park. It is now being used as a parking lot for off -site commercial buildings and restaurants. . As federal government emphasis is now turning to more programs for our children. Miami should be doing its part to follow. This would be in the best interests of our community.

W. 7th Street Miami, Florida 33125 Dear Mr. Ruder: We continue to receive inquiries from concerned Miami residents about the deteriorating condition of the Virrick Gym at Dinner Key, a former Federal surplus real property. It has been over a year since we have communicated about this property. With the recent passage of the bond referendum for parks in communities throughout Dade County, we are wondering when rehabilitation of the Virrick Gym and adjacent boat ramp will begin. These telephone reports all indicate that the boat ramp has been closed off and the concessionaire, Shake -A -Leg, has been moved out of the building into trailers in the parking lot. It was just over one year ago that we granted permission to temporarily move Shake - A -Leg into the trailers while rehabilitation was in progress. At this time, reports indicate that there is no stabilization or rehabilitation work ongoing at the Virrick Gym. Thus, the building continues to deteriorate further. ' According to the news clippings last year, $1.8 million was to be made available for restoration of the Virrick Gym through the bond referendum which was passed by Dade County voters last November. When will this work be initiated? Recent comments indicate that the Gym could provide an interior location for many recreational programs which have been requested by the local residents of this community. However, the building continues to be closed. We do not understand the necessity for closing the boat ramp. Has the ramp actually closed, or is this an unfounded rumor? The boat ramp is an element of your Program of Utilization for this property and access should be provided in order to comply with this deed condition. With the funding now available from the bond referendum and the approximately $800,000 from FEMA, we would like to know when rehabilitation will be started and when recreational use will be possible in the Virrick Gym. Please provide the current status of the repairs needed to stabilize the Virrick Gym building and the proposed dates for completion of the repair work. Please provide this information within 30 days from the date of this letter. Thank you for your cooperation and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 404-562-3175.

However, I did not see anyone from the Herald at the Awards Luncheon put on for the Tasmanian Devils last Saturday, June 13, 1998. It was held at the "Glass House" in Peacock Park. As the Net Office occupies the front part, the children used the back. There were fifty children, mostly all under twelve years of age. They were trying desperately hard to be what an adult would call orderly. Half a dozen adults who are generally called "coach" were instructing all and sundry on how to remain seated and how to shout softly. Permission was granted sequentially to go to the bathroom. Another half dozen or so assorted parents laid food on paper plates for the feast. From a step back, it looked like a busy anthill, which got busier when the absent coach came in with ten large pizzas. To say that we were shoulder to shoulder would be an understatement. The Tasmanian Devils are a roller hockey team for children under twelve. Another fifty or so children from twelve to seventeen play and practice on the same courts. While their court is located in Coconut Grove, the teams are made up of children from all over the City. The juniors are age five to eight and the seniors are ages nine to eleven. Other teams in the Coconut Grove League are the St. Stephens Angels — ages nine to eleven, The Flagami team ages twelve to fourteen, and the Coconut Grove Chiefs — ages fifteen to seventeen. The total is right at one hundred children. If you calculate that they play against another one hundred children from other leagues, that's over two hundred. Ask yourself what percentage of these children would be involved in crime, and multiply by $35,000 per child. That's real crime prevention. Uniforms and equipment are supposed to be supplied by the parents, but for those whose parents are not able to afford equipment, the coaches and parents beg anyone who will listen for funds so that each child can play properly equipped. Transportation to and from games "away from home" is provided by parents who are able, and these same coaches. These, Mr. Lawrence, are the real "Crime Fighters". Over one hundred children are kept busy, taught fair play, honesty and integrity by a small group of volunteers. They don't sit back and wait "for a crime to happen", they provide the prevention that keeps most of these children from ever getting to jail. The children will have the integrity that apparently is not taught in law school. Check the recent indictments. The integrity will be taught by these coaches. There is a group of really silly local citizens who have been trying to get our City Commission to open the Virrick Gym so that more of these children can be taken "off the streets". They've been asking, begging, whining, for nearly ten years. At this time, the 98- 718 voters have to believe that the Commission, ALL OF THEM do not care about preventing crime. It anyone of them did, the Virrick Gym would have _been open many years ago. Further, crime -takes a terrible toll, not only on the victims but on the perpetrator. The City Commission could reduce the amount of pain inflicted on our community IF THEY CARED. I suppose it's time for me to ask," Where were the Herald's reporters when the Tasmanian Devils had their awards luncheon?" How can we get press coverage for the real crime fighters?

This is truly a community oriented project and will open up Biscayne Bay to people who currently do not have the means to enjoy this resource. Shake -A -Leg Miami has significant community support and it would be a wonderful legacy for you to create this International Water Sports Center for the recreational use of the residents of Miami. This building has become an eyesore on the waterfront, please vote yes so we can turn it into a showplace and demonstrate what can be done when public and private groups work together. Please vote yes on this project. We need your support.

VIRRICK GYM YOUTH RECREATION CENTER June 22, 1998 To The Honorable Mayor & the City of Miami Commissioners, and the City Manager Donald Warsaw, Would you Please, out of a sense of fairness and consideration to the children & youth of Miami Please bring up, as a pocket item, the following attached Resolution regarding The Virrick Gym Youth Recreational Community and Watersports Center, at the June 23, 1998 after 5:00 P.M. City of Miami Commission Meeting........ So that the 100 + children made up local Boys & Girl Scouts, Sailors, Soccer, Basketball, Hockey Youth Paticipants and their parents will NOT lose faith in the City of Miami Leaders. BACKGROUND: The City Commission passed a Mid -May resolution on the Virrick Gym limiting the Size of the New Recreational Center and a Commission Directive to the Director of the Parks Dept. to see if the City could Demolish the attached Pink office Parks Building and to report back to the City Commission "No Later than the June 23, 1998 City Meeting" as to his Plan of what Programs and which groups would be at the Virrick Gym Recreational Center site. Over one thousand flyers have gone out to the Youth Sports Groups, Teams, Coaches, Boys & Girl Scout Troops, Elementary School Parents and their children to attend this June 23`d , 1998 City Commission Meeting. The `GENIE is out of the Bottle" and there is No Way to contact all of these parents and children, who are coming to "speak on their wishes" and to see WHAT the City Commission is going to let them have at their Community Recreational Center and WHEN you are going to move forward with this project so they can start playing there. Many of these children & families will be on vacation during the July 14`h Commission Meeting, so we are hoping that you might allow a few of the children & parents to be allowed to speak on their desires for this Recreational Center? OTHER FACTORS; 1. The Time Clock on the Safe Neighborhood Parks Bond Funds of $3.8 millon is ticking and The S.N.P. OVERSITE COMMITTEE group is wondering when the City Commission is Going to move forward with this Project. 2. The Federal Dept. Of Interior, Parks Dept.'s Bi- Annual Report of Utilization at this Virrick Gym Park is Duel 3. Out of Fairness to the Taxpayers who voted in a Special Referendum for an additional $3.8 million in Capital Improvements for this Virrick Gym Park's Community Youth Recrea- tion and Water Sports Center; also the additional $800,000.00 in Insurance Proceeds from Hurricane Andrew sustained damages and the $400,000.00 Grant form the State of Floridas Historical & Preservation Board. So..... considerintg the $5 Million of Improvements in this Park's Recreational Center and the "high end" Maintenance Expenses of keeping up a facility so close to the ocean with the "salt spray & air". 4. The extra specialized training for the staff that facilitates the programs serving the disabled 5. That a "Wellness Center that also serves families and adult recreational needs also be an Integral part of this facility, which should include community meeting and workshop room 98- 71-8 for Scouts, sport team's trophy / award presentations, locker rooms; hockey & basketball Equipment storage rooms; jazzercise / aerobics / dance / karate room;storage rooms for all the boating equipment; fenced in rolling racks for the kayaks & smaller boats; space for Day Care and after school programs and classrooms. Docks for the 15 + Shake A Leg Boats and City of Miami's Park's Dept. Youth Sailing Programs and their 10 + boats and their equipment storage needs. That some of the City of Miami' Police Athletic Leagues; lie els of space and time be considered. That because of the Overburdened Seminole Boat Ramp A i-n and Parking area, it is paramount that Virrick Gym Public Boat be repaired and re -opened with it's original parking spots be restored in the final plans to be approved by the Dept. of Interior's review. This can "SAFELY' be accomplished by having a "controlled access " of a locked gate and monitored IN & OUT by Shake A Leg or the Park's Dept. staff. We wish to THANK YOU for taking the time to read this long and very important list of some of the Communities Youth and Recreational needs and appreciate that you might con- sider allowing a 15 to 20 minutes for comments from some of the children and parents after 5:00 P.M. at June 23, 1998 City of Miami's Commisssion Meeting..

We have used this Park and it's PUBLIC BOAT RAMP for many years and would like to continue to do so. We wish to express our&other Boaters "COMPLAINTS" and also offer some "SOLUTIONS". Please see attached Petitions. COMPLAINT LIST This Public Boat Ramp is regularly BLOCKED from usage by vehicles of patrons going to "off -site" businesses, such as office buildings, marinas, markets, and specially restaurants for "Lunch & Happy Hour". There is not even adequate Parking left for the Youth Recreational Center being restored with the Safe Neigh - boyhood Parks funds. 2. The Police seem not to want to ticket nor tow these improperly "PARKED" vehicles, Please rectify this problem ! 3. Our designated "BOAT RAMP PARKING AREA" (which had over 20 spots) has been taken over by; the Construction Company working at the Virrick Gym; storage of old broken boats; and the Shake -a Leg group. The SIGNS designating this area for "Vehicles with Boat Trailers ONLY" have been torn down and were found in a trash bin. Where are we supposed to PARK ? For now, designate the Boaters a "temporary" PUBLIC BOAT RAMP PARKING AREA at the VIRRICK ? 4. About 25% of this PUBLIC BOAT RAMP has been damaged, "washed out and broken off' at the waters edge ever since Hurricane Andrew in August of 1992. When will this be REPAIRED and from WHICH FUNDS ? 5. The "ANGLE" of the total Boat Ramp NEEDS to be CHANGED to a deeper angle, so that vehicles will not be on the "slippery slime / moss" at low tide during the hauling out process. Better "lighting" and "non -slip" pavers should also be put at this Boat Ramp like what exists at the other CITY Public Boat Ramps. PAGE 2 6. The CITY's only other nearby Public Boat Ramp, SEMINOLE, at S.W. 27th Ave. & Bayshore Drive is overburdened and does NOT have adequate enough PARKING for Vehicles with Trailers spaces. We have numerous photos that show the over- flow of "vehicles with trailers" parked all over the Dinner Key area ; filling up the Kenneth -Myers Park; all around the Convention Center; along Pan American Drive and in front of the Boat Yards along Bayshore Drive. These Boaters 1 users of VIRRICK GYM PARK get parking tickets while their SPACES at the VIRRICK GYM are taken up by patrons and tour buses of the off -site businesses and Restaurants (who seem not to get tickets or towed) for Improperly Parking at this Park. 7. We have shown you our historical and present NEED to get this VIRRICK GYM PUBLIC BOAT RAMP "REPAIRED & RE -OPENED". This PARK was dedicated to all of the people, "PUBLIC" , by the Federal Govt., which has always included "FISHERMAN & Motor BOATERS". We should have the same "rights" as sailors. The "Shake -a -Leg" group has three motor boats to service it's programs. One Park Group should NOT be allowed to benefit at the loss by the fisherman. As in the Past, everyone can SHARE and we have a "WIN \ WIN" Solution! OUR REQUESTED SOLUTIONS: A SAFE, CONTROLLED & MONITORED PUBLIC BOAT RAMP 1. Redesignate and Restore at least 15 of our Parking Spaces for "Vehicles with Trailers" as a designated PUBLIC BOAT RAMP PARKING AREA and repost the original SIGNS of this area & that the Violators will be ticketed & towed! 2. REPAIR, RESTORE and REOPEN The PUBLIC BOAT RAMP at the VIRRICK GYM, Also have the proper angle and "pavers" installed in your design plans with adequate "Lighting" as the CITY has at other Public Boat Ramps. 3. There is a "SAFE, ORDERLY, and REASONABLE SOLUTION" to Sharing & Keeping this Public Boat Ramp "open to everyone". This is accomplished by Implementing "A CONTROLLED & MONITORED ACCESS" to the Boat Ramp. 4. Since Shake -a Leg had 8 great years and will continue to have this "JEWEL" of a location in our Public Park & for getting to "SHARE" the USE of our PUBLIC BOAT RAMP, it is NOT ASKING TO MUCH, in return for SHAKE -A LEG to, at their own expense, to have a Boat Ramp Attendant available during all hours that they are OPEN or "ON SITE". And that the Boat Ramp MUST be left PAGE 3 UNLOCKED, OPEN, and ACCESSIBLE when the attendants & Shake -a Leg has gone for the day or are not open for service to the Public. The "Public" should NOT have to start paying any "Boat Ramp Users Fee" NOR be EXCLUDED because SHAKE -A -LEG wants to SHARE in the "USE" of PUBLIC BOAT RAMP! The POSTING of FOUR LARGE SIGNS, one on both sides, at the Beginning and at each End of the PUBLIC BOAT RAMP and the SIGNS should read: PUBLIC BOAT RAMP RULES - CONTROLLED & MONITORED STRICTLY ENFORCED 1. NO PARKING "ON" or BLOCKING of any portion of this PUBLIC BOAT RAMP shall be Permitted! VIOLATORS shall be TICKETED & Towed! 2. RING BELL! for PARK or SHAKE -A -LEG Boat Ramp ATTENDANT To Unlock Gate - PLEASE BE PATIENT! 3. CAUTION: Watch for Baywalk Pedestians, Children, and Wheelchair assisted Persons being CLEAR of Boat Ramp. 4. ENTER & EXIT in a SLOW, SAFE and CONTROLLED MANNER, FOLLOW The Boat Ramp ATTENDANTS Instructions. 5. Use Designated BOAT RAMP PARING AREA for "VEHICLES WITH TRAILERS" ONLY! All other Vehicles will be TICKETED & TOWED from this area. 6. NO PROFANITY will be TOLERATED! This is a CHILDREN 1 YOUTH RECREATIONAL AREA. NO "OPEN" CONTAINERS OF nor CONSUMPTION OF ANY ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES ARE PERMITTED IN THIS PARK! 7. NO LITTERING - Take all REFUSE & GARBAGE with you. 8. NO DOCKSIDE FUELING PERMITTED from these DOCKS or BOAT RAMP! PLEASE CONSIDER THESE RECOMMENDATIONS AS A REASONABLE SOLUTION FOR ALL OF THE CITIZENS TO USE AND SHARE IN USING THIS VIRRICK GYM PARK COMMUNITY YOUTH RECREATIONAL AND WATERSPORTS CENTER AND OUR PUBLIC BOAT RAMP! THANK YOU ! CONCERNED CITIZENS FOR A SAFER NEIGHBORHOOD PARK T VI K GYM 98 - 718 CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA TO: Donald H. Warshaw Acting City Manager FROM : James J. Kay, Director Public works Department INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM OArE : July 9,1998 FILE : SUB.IEcr : Virrick Gyrn/Coast Guard Hangar Restoration Project-H-1013 FINDING OF AN EMERGENCY REFERENCES: ENCLOSURES: Based on Information supplied to me by the Public Works Department Chief Architect, I have found that an EMMICENCY exists justifying the necessity of continuing the professional services of DPZ Architmts-aed GymXoast Guard Hangar Restoration project tH-1013), under on1w otiMe MatIal City Code. The renovation of deteriorated historic waterfront buildings over 40 years old in a flood zone area and for which the City wants to change the use of the structure as presently classified under the South Florida Building Code (SFBC), Is one of the most difficult, complex and sophisticated architectural projects that can be undertaken by an architectural consultant and its design team. The existing Vlrrick Gym/Coast Guard Hangar and Annex are currently In violation of the SFBC and are not certified for any occupancy. These buildings are over 40 years old and must be re -certified for occupancy. Several consultants have given the City reports on the deficiencies that must be corrected for the buildings to meet the Code for present use. The currentSEBC on for the Vlffkk Gym is that of a Storage >3ulfdingwhictr permits Its use on moat storage; oroMdr similar storage usage. The architect and/or engineer of record (i.e., the Clty's current architects) must re -certify these buildings before a Certificate of Occupancy' as a storage facility can be Issued. The City's proposed use of this facility is clearly that of a Recreation Facility which requires the structures to be brought up to current SFBC requirements under an 'Assembly' building classification. This will entail considerable modifications to the building exterior and structure for additional exterior doors to meet Code requirements which are closely related to the Historic Restoration requirements of the project. Historic Restoration is a very major issue in meeting SFBC requirements because, without the relief from certain Code requirements that a historic structure provides, the City could not use the Virrick Gym for the proposed recreational application. VERICKemergency.doc 98- 718 Donald H. Warshaw, Acting City Manager July 9,19913 Page No. 2 Virrlck Gyrn/Coast Guard Hangar Restoration Project Finding of an Emergency The current architectural consultants, Andres Duany and Elizabeth Plater-Zyberk Architects, Inc., (DPZ) and Its design team, including historic preservation architect, R. J. Helsenbottle, have masterfully worked out a proposed solution to these building code problems with the City's Building official, and they nave found workable solutions to the Parks & Recreation Department programmable needs to operate the facility as a Recreation Center. They also incorporated the programmable needs of the proposed users, Shake -A -leg of Miami, YMCA, and other community based organizations. Under their current contract, DPZ prepared historic restoration plans for the Virrick Gym/coast Guard Hangar structure which were approved by the State of Florida Historic Preservation Board and this is now under construction for the 'shell' only. The oPZ team are imminently qualified and prepared to move forward with the historic resolution of the Annex portion of the facility. Both the State of Florida and the U. S. department of Interior have written the City that the Annex should also be historically renovated. The historic preservation plans for the Annex have not been done and have obviously not been submitted to the State of Florida for approval. The DPZ architectural team has an established relationship with the State of Florida on this project, which should be continued. Based on: 1) the SFBC requirements for re -certification of 40 year old and older structures; 2) the required Code changes to meet the clty's intended use of this facility as a recreation center; and 3) the need to meet the requirements for historic preservation mandated by the State of Florida and the U. S. Department of Interior, It Is Imperative that that the contract with DPZ be continued to provide complete architectural and engineering services for completion of the remaining portions of this project. We believe this action will significantly expedite the preparation of construction plans and the actual construction of these much needed Parks & Recreation facilities. The City has already obtained S3.8 million In additional funding from the Safe Neighborhood Parks Bonds program specifically for this project Community leaders and the Safe Neighborhood Parks Citizens Oversight Committee have been demanding the City expedite the design and construction of this Water Sports Center Recreation project. The U. S. Department of the Interior has notified the city that It is In default of the terms of its lease which requires public parks and recreational use of this site. they want this default Issue promptly resolved. we are also recommending that the recent professional services selection process for selecting new architects for the Annex and site be set aside because the circumstances of the project have changed and the selection criteria lacked major essential requirements for re -certification and historic preservation experience. VIRRKKemergency.doc Margot Ammidown 3634 Bayview Rd. Coconut Grove, FL. 33133 Ms. Diane Johnson Chief of Development P.O. Box 330708 Miami, FL. 33233-0708 February 18, 1998 RE: Dissenting Opinion, Virrick Community Water Sports Center RFQ Dear M son: As a member of the selection committee which met last Friday, February 13th, to review respondents to the Phase II RFQ advertised by the City of Miami for the Virrick Community Water Sports Center, I request that you submit this letter as a dissent from the decision reached by that committee. I was appointed as a community representative and, as you know, have been an interested and active participant in previous charrettes and public meetings regarding that property. I am familiar with its history and the planning objectives espoused thus far by city officials as well as citizens who participated in these events. I believe that neither the objectives of the many citizens organizations who have worked so long and hard on assuring a proper public use, nor the City's interests in obtaining a first-class water sports facility have been served by this process. Lam when a management agreement is in Place for the property_ My objections to the process are as follows: 1). The RFQ states that the prime consultant is to complete "design and construction drawings for the interior build out, selective, demolition, the creation and/or reconstruction of administrative space, new amenities and facilities for water sports and general recreation, and improvements to the shoreline, boat ramp and dock, parking, landscaping, lighting and site work." How can this be properly completed when there is no known occupant ? 2). Given the lack of a management agreement, the committee was unable to adequately evaluate applicants relevant to specific tasks to be performed. There was a wide variety of professional backgrounds and services assembled by the applicants. While all the primes are firms of good standing, several seemed to fundamentally misunderstand the project and the City will certainly not be maximizing their funds in going through Y�.-t another vaguely defined planning process when you are in the design and build stage. 3). The RFQ was so vaguely written that several applicants seemed under the impression that any commercial enterprise could be entertained for the property when in fact there are Federal deed restrictions on the property limiting it to "park and recreational 98 - 718 uses." This, however, was never mentioned in the RFQ, nor were the results of the citizen charrette which was adopted by the Commission. 4). I requested several times during the meeting that the committee discuss and clarify the qualifications so our criteria could be clear. The only response to my request was a brusque perusal of p.12 which only mentions `water sports centers" without defining what is meant. The committee never reviewed p.3, "Required Qualifications" which does state that the team "shall demonstrate [the ability to complete]... feasibility analysis,... cost estimates for adaptive reuse of historic structures,... and waterfront structures and park and recreational facilities." However, the two top ranked teams had no historic preservation consultants (which is a highly specialized field ), and only one of them had a sub with expertise in significant waterfront development projects, while the two lowest ranked teams met both these criteria as well as all the others. 5). Without adequate on the record discussion of these criteria, I can only guess at the committee members' individual deliberation process. It was clear that several of the committee had worked with the project, others did not seem particularly familiar with the recent history of the Virrick Gym property nor with what is meant by specific terms used on page 3 of the RFQ. For example, when I questioned one of the applicant's experience with historic buildings and adaptive reuse - a term specifically defined by the Secretary of Interior Standards for Historic Properties which apply to this property - I was told by a committee member that they didn't see how that was relevant since this was only an "old building being repaired rather than a new one built from scratch." I paraphrase, but if you consult the tapes they will reveal a rather fundamental lack of understanding of the terminology in the RFQ and how it applies to this property. I have numerous other points to make, but rather than belabor them, suffice it to say I believe this process was so seriously flawed as to only do a disservice to the City and certainly to the many citizens who have worked so long and feel so strongly about this property. While I appreciate the hard work and sincere effort that went into this, I respectfully request that this matter be readvertised after a management agreement is in place and an RFQ can be written with specific qualifications defined and enumerated. Sincerely, Margot Ammidow cc: Jose Garcia -Pedrosa, City Manager 98- 718 Parks... for people or profit? Wen one envi- ions a public park what comes to mind is a quiet spot with trees, a ball field, some swings, benches and maybe a barbecue pit... a place for fami- lies to gather for a low key afternoon. Miami politicians see some- thing else. They see parks as potential profit centers such as Bayside or Ivionty's type retail developments. In our city, parks also can be profitable through leases for such non - park uses as yacht brokerages, movie studios or tourist attractions. Maybe more active, retail -ori- ented. Disneyesque entertainment centers are the wave of the future in redeveloping the run-down centercity. But is this the way toencourage public use of ro►r parks? we approach the end of the century, our political leaders have abandoned even the pretext that parks are forthe use of the taxpayers who pay for than. Parks are now opportunities for the city to recoup monies its politicians have squandered over the years or for those same politicians to reward their buddies. No one speaks of parks today without discussing a lease to a developer, a retail component or an amusement center. In short, noone talks about parks without discussing their potential profitability. This warped attitude reached its zenith last month when the city com- mission approved without a public hearing a proposal to update the 1985 Dinner Key Planning Study. Sponsored by former commission chairman Humberto Hernandez, this proposal called for the update of the'85 study to be paid not by the city, but by the eventual developer of the property. So now we have a "study" of what to do with all the public bay front property in the Grove from Kennedy Park to Peacock Park that has as a pre- requisite that the property will be developed! What reputable planning firm would undertake such a study? Such horrors as this are destined to become even more commonplace given the make up of the current city commission and the desperate state of the cityfs finances. Citizens need to understand the risk our parks are in and we need to look at ways to save them. There was a time when the city parks and recreation department actually ran programs in the parks for children as well as adults. A park in those days was a true community center where people met and activities were plentiful. But during the 1970's and 80's something happened. As parks and recreation needs sunk lower and lower on the priority list of city politi- cians, the programs and uses of city parks declined to today's almost non-existent state. The best example of this is the fact that in sunny 4PRI L I Q(V Miami, our city swimming pools are open only a few summer months during the year. i How do we pay for improved public parks and recreational services without losing the tradi- tional use of our parks as free -of -charge, family - oriented, community activity centers? This is where reality sets in. It's a fact, despite the denials and exhortations of former mayor Xavier Suarez, that the city is broke. In this mix, parks remain the lowest priority in the city budget. Clearly, proposals to create studies that presume development of city parks are not the answer. But neither can we stand pat and watch our parks disappear through offi- cially sanctioned neglect. The use of public park lands for Bayside, Montyfs, the arena, the Parrot Jun- gle and the like should be subject to fees that will insure the continued operation of other public parks for the benefit of the city taxpayers. Any further development of park property whether the Coconut Grove waterfront or Virginia Key or other valuable park land should be subject to vigorous public input. If we do not find a fiscal mechanism for the continued operation of our parks, we will wake up one day and find that J.L. Plum mer's idea to sell off "under used" parks several years ago, will rise from its grave. This is a resurrection the citi- zens of M iami do not need. --- --- -- — �_ _ c MAY 1 I, 1098, 1-1Ir HL"IALD 3 . ote makes -CA AIN. re'c'onsider ttertV_ I YOLANDA RALIDO 'nrald Staff Writer '['he YMCA is reconsidering s offer to run recreational pro- ranrs at the Elizabeth Virrick fynr in light of a Citv Conunis- ion decislon last week.

The commission spent most of its time Tuesday dis- cussing parking issues. The 280-space city lot is mostly used by customers at nearby Monty's restaurant and employees at the Terremark office building. Commissioners didn't allow the two buildings, which would reduce the land available for parking. The city also is looking into razing an adjacent pink building to create more parking.

Now, along comes a pub- lic -minded park proposal for the 4.5-acre Virrick Gym site, a historic former sea- plane hangar under renova- tion on Coconut Grove's wa- terfront. A coalition of non- profit groups with the know- how and financial backing to make it work wants to as- semble a first-class recre- ational facility there, for land and watersports, for disabled and able-bodied alike. You can guess what happens: The city says no. The nonprofits, led by the YMCA of Greater Miami, would build a swimming pool in the hangar, tear down an adjacent building and re- place it with a gym, commu- nity rooms and a wellness center. The Y would manage the center and run a variety of recreational pro- grams. Shake -A -Leg Miami also would use the center as a long -needed base for its programs teaching sailing to blind and sighted kids, among other aquatic pro- grams with an emphasis on youths and the disabled. Funding would come from a combina- tion of parks bonds from the state and county, insurance proceeds from the hur- ricane, and state historic preservation funds. The organizations would assume all operating costs and make up any deficits through fund-raisers. Any surplus would go back to the city, to improve the site.

But the city shouldn't be denied a first-class recreational center just because for -profit Monty's would rather continue to sponge off public parking. Monty's could make more use of the Terremark Centre parking lot a few yards up the road, or provide a jitney service to anoth- er nearby lot. Monty's owner Stephen Kneapler could not be reached for com- ment. That's not to say the nonprofits could- n't temper the size of their plans, or phase them in over time, while the city makes an honest effort to find solutions for its commercial and noncommercial interests.

Atlanta, Georgia 30303 IN REPLY REFER TO: S7417 (SERO-RG) T-FL-653 May 29, 1998 Mr. Jose Garcia -Pedrosa City Manager City of Miami 444 SW 2nd Avenue loth Floor Miami, Florida 33130 Dear Mr. Garcia -Pedrosa: We would like to take this opportunity to provide you with information on the National Park Service's Federal Lands -to -Parks (FLTP) Program and specifically on the Virrick Gym and Boat Ramp Park property. Formerly known as the U.S. Coast Guard Miami Air Station, Dinner.Key, the Virrick Gym was conveyed through the FLTP Program at no cost to the city of Miami on February 11, 1972 for public park and public recreation area purposes in perpetuity. While the Virrick Gym Park is the only property we have conveyed to Miami, seven properties have been conveyed to Miami -Dade County, including the property which has been developed as Metrozoo. The most recent real property transfer in Miami -Dade County is the 213- acre portion 'of. the closing Homestead Air Force Base (estimated market value $10 million). In 1979,. Miami Beach received the. property now developed and known as South Pointe Park and in two conveyances, Coral Gables received title to the Biltmore Golf Course and Tennis Center. All -in -all, the Federal Lands -to -Parks Program has made a significant contribution to the park and recreation opportunities for all Miami -Dade County residents: During the past several years, we have received numerous public - inquires about non -park and recreation use of the Virrick Gym & Boat Ramp Park property from concerned local residents. Their concerns have also been reported by local newspapers. These citizens have expressed concerns about: The parking area on the Virrick Gym Park property being used for commercial (non -park) purposes by patrons of adjacent businesses (We advised the city to resolve this issue in 1989 and in several letters since then.); the boat ramp which has been closed and remains closed; Shake -A -Leg, the current concessionaire at the Park, has been removed from the Gym and relocated into trailers in the parking lot reportedly due to the continued lack of repairs to the roof of the Hangar; the potential threat of removing the historic buildings (the Hangar and Annex Buildings), which is clearly against the expressed wishes of the local community; the availability and disposition of the FEMA money which became available after Hurricane Andrew; the bond money which became available thru the recently -passed safe parks bond referendum; the fees paid to the Park Department for the short-term, non - recreational use of the Virrick Gym Park property by a film company and/or the re -roofing of the Annex Building in lieu of or in addition to the payments made to the city; Based upon the above issues which have been expressed in numerous contacts with this office, it is evident that the local community sincerely cares about and supports the continuation of a public park on the Virrick Gym property. Also, it is evident that correction of identified, serious compliance problems at this property has been ignored by the city for many years. Therefore, because of the serious issues at Virrick Gym Park, we will continue to monitor the city's efforts to resolve these compliance problems. Please be assured that we will continue to provide technical assistance to you and your staff for the resolution of the compliance issues. Over the past several years, we have developed a positive working relationship with both Mr. Alberto Ruder, Director, Department of Parks and Recreation, and Ms. Dianne Johnson, Development Coordinator, Planning and Development Division. Our role has been, and will continue to be, to assist your office with the review and approval of concession agreements (Shake -A -Leg, YMCA, or others); with amendments to the Program of Utilization; with the review of plans for the restoration of the entire site to public park use only; and with compliance with the requirements of Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (the Hangar and Annex buldings). We understand that there are complex issues to be resolved in the - restoration of the Dinner Key waterfront complex, including this property, and such efforts will take time. We also understand that there is significant funding available from the bond referendum for the redevelopment of this park. Due to the concerns expressed by local citizens, we request that your office provide immediate assurances to the community that the planning for the full public park use of the site will continue uninterrupted and the community's concerns and suggestions will be included in those plans. We concur with the community's statements that this property has been underutilized and neglected for far too long and that the non -park related use of the parking area must be resolved immediately. Within 30 days from the date of this letter, we request that you provide us with a summary of the recent actions you have taken to resolve the noncompliance issues at Virrick Gym Park. By copy of this letter, we are requesting that Mr. Ruder provide us with the currently due biennial report for the Virrick Gym property (a routine requirement included in the deed for the property). We are enclosing updated suggestions to assist Mr. Ruder with this report. For your convenience, your response and Mr. Ruder's biennial report may be combined into one document. Thank you for your cooperation and if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 404-562-3175. Sincerely, William L.

Yet the gym parking lot is mostly used by restaurant patrons as well as employees who work in theTerremark office high rise across the street at South Bayshore Drivr ' 4viationAvenue. Now Miami politicians can't do enough to help Monty's because the restaurant's owners have been very good friends and the lease agreement there isone ofthe most lucrative for the city. So when somebody at Monty's gets ner- vous about possibly losing parking at the gym, city hall swings into action. • ' Last summer City Commissioners J.L. Plummer and Tomas Regal - ado called for an "invesligation" of Shake -A -Leg in aclumsy attempt todis- credit the agency after it sought to expand its programs. The effort backfired and by February the city was publicly backtracking from the bogus investi- galion. Regalado went on record saying the city was not necessarily against the group but wanted other organizations using the gym as well. Mid -May the city commission left the running of the facility to the parks department and requested that Shake -A -Leg and the YMCA return to the commission in June for consideration of a proposed management agree- ment. Additionally, the commission invited others, including the Boys Club, to throw their hat in the ring.

We wish to inform you that: 1. Your offices have been mis-informed as to extent of damages (caused by Hurricane Andrew) and as being economically not feasible to repair the Virrick Gym. There is presently $800,000.00 to $900,000.00 in hurricane related damage insurance funds available and through grants; certain F.E.M.A. funds; and Federal funds for programs related to education of the disabled, museums and historical sites, this recreational facility is quite repairable. 2.

Over 70% of the Virrick Gym, Public Boat Ramp and Park is being used as parking lot for off -site private businesses that do not meet the obligations of the deed restrictions set forth by the Federal Government in its Quick Claim Deed to the City of Miami. This excessive off -premises business parking makes it unsuitable to use this Park, public Boat Ramp and Recreational Area to the general public, as a park. And to protect this historical site and building by designating it as a Federally Protected Historical Site and not to allow the City of Miami to demolish this building or let the city allow improper uses of this site to persist.
