Discussion concerning the future use of the City -owned facility located at - 1001 MacArthur
Causeway, Miami, Florida, on Watson Island.
BACKGROUND
Since 1947, this site has been utilized by the Miami Yacht Club ("MYC") for the purpose of
providing marine recreational services including such usual functions incidental to boat
club operations.
The most recent lease governing MYC's use of the property was approved by the City
Commission on February 11, 1982 by Resolution 82-95. This lease agreement provided for
a term of three years. The rental consideration was the greater of (1) the base rent of
$16,326.29 annually, or (2) the per capita tax times the number of non-resident members
or (3) ten percent of gross income.
Following a request by MYC, the Commission adopted Motion 82-324 which authorized the
MYC to pay the minimum rent only until such time as the City would adopt plans for
Watson Island with some certainty, at which time the MYC would be permitted to apply
for a lease compatible with the plans. By Resolution 84-728, the Commission formally
waived the percentage charge of gross income and per capita tax times the number of non-
resident members. Since the expiration of the lease on February 28, 1985, the MYC has
continued to occupy,the property on a month -to -month basis under the same terms and
conditions of the lease agreement as amended by Resolution 84-728.

On November 2, 1993, the electorate of the City of Miami approved Charter Amendment
No. 1 thereby amending the Charter of the City of Miami to establish a procedure for
waiving competitive bidding and referendum requirements when entering into a lease or
extending an existing lease with a nonprofit, noncommercial, water -dependent
organization which provides or seeks to provide marine -recreation services and/or activities
to the community at any city -owned waterfront property, provided certain conditions are
met pertaining to public access, public use, waterfront setback and view -corridor
requirements, fair return to the City, compliance with the master plan and requirements
prescribed by ordinance pertaining to an organization using city -owned facilities.
As a result of the adoption of this Charter amendment, the MYC has inquired regarding
the negotiation of a new lease agreement for its continued use of this space.
It should be noted that the City was deeded the lands constituting Watson Island by the
State of Florida in 1949. This deed includes a restriction that Watson Island be used solely
for public and municipal purposes only. The deed expressly prohibits the sale or lease of
lands to any private person or corporation for private purpose.
On March 23, 1993 the Board of Trustees of the Internal Improvement Trust Fund found
the use by the Miami Yacht Club to be consistent with the deed. Additionally, the City has
on occasion been able to obtain from the Trustees -a waiver of this deed restriction. Most
recently, the City was granted a waiver of the deed restriction authorizing the City to enter
into a lease agreement with Parrot Jungle subject to the State receiving a portion of the
revenues received by the City from the lease.
RECOMMENDATION
The Department of CPR, Division of Asset Management recommends the City Commission
authorize the City Manager to negotiate a new lease agreement with the Miami Yacht Club
for its continued use of the property which lease shall be subject to the review and approval
of the City Commission. In the event the City is unable to successfully negotiate a new
lease agreement with the Miami Yacht Club, the City Manager shall come back to the City
Commission for authorization to seek competitive bids.
