For City Commission
ENCLOSURES Meeting of 6/9/94
This memorandum serves to request placement of a discussion item
on the June 9, 1994 City Commission agenda regarding a new
License Agreement with the School Board of Dade County. If you
are in agreement with the new formula outlined below, a vote to
adopt it will be appropriate.
BACKGROUND
The School Board of Dade County, Florida (School Board) entered
into six individual Lease Agreements on December 29, 1987 with
the City for use of six playgrounds: Athalie Range Park; Gibson
Park; West End Park; Grand Avenue Park; Lemon City Park; and
Shenandoah Park, which are all located adjacent to elementary
schools. Over the past five years, School Board has paid an
average of $240,000 annually for the use of these six parks based
upon a sixty percent (60%) reimbursement basis of the City's
quarterly costs. Said agreements have expired and the terms and
conditions for use of the playground areas have been
renegotiated.
A new License Agreement is being proposed with the School Board
which will effectively increase the percentage reimbursement to
the City based upon the prior years' reimbursement schedule. As
consideration, the School Board will pay the City approximately
5309,350.00 for FY 194-195, representing a 22% increase to the
City over prior years' payments. The new reimbursement schedule
includes paying previous expenses plus approximately $69,000 in
FY 194-195 representing the School Board's proportional share of
eight (8) administrative salaries and water and electricity
charges previously absorbed by the City. The new reimbursement
schedule effectively increases the consideration to the City
while maintaining the School Board's proportionate share of
reimbursement costs at 60%.
The School Board will also continue to pay for maintenance of the
areas, including recreational and maintenance personnel assigned
to perform maintenance to the areas; costs of equipment and
materials; general maintenance expenses and utilities. Said
License Agreement includes the use of one additional park,
Biscayne Park, and will allow for the addition and deletion of
park playground areas as requested from time to time by the
School Board and approved by the City Manager upon the terms and
conditions set under the new License Agreement. /
