it its respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the
attachad resolution authorizing the issuance of a request for
proposals for the sale of the Batson Building, located at 65 Sw
First Street.
BACKGROUND:
The General Services Administration Department has
comprehensively analyzed the City's need for office space and has
'
developed a long range off -ice space plan. The primary purpose of
the long range office space plan is to centralize City
administrative departments currently spread out in buildings
owned by the City, and buildings leased to the City whose lease
agreements have expired or will expire in 1987 and 1988. The
specific goals of the plan are to increase efficiency, provide
better service to the public, and reduce future costs from
operations.
E
The initial phase of -this centralization effort has begun in that
_
the City has - successfully leased space for the Law Department,
including Claims Administration, in Downtown, as well as for the
Management and Budget Department and Finance Department in
Coconut Grove. As a result' of the implementation of the
centralization plan, the Watson Building,' which is:inadequate for
the City's office space needs and for the efficient provision of
services to the public, will be vacated by the fourth quarter of
1987. The building has already been appraised by two members of
the American Institute of -Real Estate Appraisers, for $815,000
and $11250,000, respectively, in accordance` with City Code
requirements.

At the may 170 toll City Comission meeting resolution g7=433 was
passed effectively authariting the City Administration to offer
the Watson building to federal officials, in the form of an
exchange for the United States Naval Training Csstat f or an
outright sale* Howeveir# the fedoratl government is not interested
in the property, neither through anexchangenor acquisition
In accordance with provisions of the City Cads, first the City
must attempt to lease the property. As there is currently a glut`
of properties for lease on the open market, it is not feasible
for the City to lease the property. Secondly# the City has to
offer the property at its appraised value to Metro -Dade County
and the Dade County school Board. In the event 'neither party is
ihter+estodj the City can proceed with a request for proposal to
sell the building to the highest bidder.
