ENCLOSURES: l
asking r consideration of a g for y oulproposal to make a major research and
development center in the hospital area where Miami. owns 6.7 acres and a major
building known as the Miami Municipal Justice Building and Jail presently exists.
The basic idea is to have an appraisal made of the
PP property and ask FIU, through
State funds, to match it for capital expenditures. The existing buildingwould be
refurbished and a master plan design approved with the intention of eventually de-
molishing the old Municipal Justice Building and constructing in its place a major
high-rise downtown carrpus for FIU dealing in the specific area of high technology,
,a=
specializing in bio-tech and bio-medical fields,
Needless to say, with the presence here of giants such as Cordis Miami is in the
nation's top 10 manufacturers of surgical and medical equipment. With the projec-
tion of 64% growth in doctors in the area by 1990, and a 65% growth in health tech-
,_<,•t.' .„ nology, Miami is destined to be one of the major health technological centers in
the country. The logical place for such a research and development technical cen-
ter is near the hospitals. In addition, the Miami Municipal Justice Building is two
blocks away from a Metrorail station, and is in walking distance from Jackson Memorial,
Cedars of Leban on and the other medical centers in the vicinity. Since FIU's idea is
to develop itspropertyas a research and develo P pment center, it could be, in effect,
kh* a money producer. It would be my expectation for the City of Miami to end up being
a beneficiary of such a project.
I would like to recommend the following procedure:
1) That the City of Miami Commission approve, in principal, the concept.
2) That the Commission instruct the Manager to initiate either an in-house,
or commission an outside, consultant to do a feasibility study.
3) To appoint a Blue -Ribbon National Advisory Committee jointly with FIU.
The 21 names proposed in Charlotte Gallogly's nmw. randun, copy enclosed,
will certainly be acceptable,
4) Once the basic agreement is structured, commission an appraisal of the
property,
5) The Manager would appoint a negotiating team to work out the final con-
tract with FIU, bringing it back to the Carmission for final approval.

CITI' OF MIAM1. FLORIDA
INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM
To. Howard V. Gary
City Manager
FROM: Charlotte Gallogly
Director
DATE: December 5, 1984 VILE,
SUBJECT: City of Miami/FIU
Research & Develop-
ment Center
REFERENCES:
At Mayor Ferrets request, I met with the Mayor, the President of FIU,
the Dean of the Department of Engineering and Applied Sciences and
other FIU staff to discuss the concept and proposition that Mayor
Ferre is advocating to utilize City property as an incentive for the
creation and location of a Research and Development Center in the
Civic Center complex.
Specifically, Mayor Ferre is advocating that the City of Miami lease
the property known as the City of Miami Municipal Justice Building
(formerly called the City Jail) located at 1145 N.W. 11th Street (6.7
acres) to FIU for one -dollar ($1.00) for one year during which time
an advisory committee would be created and a consultant study
performed to determine the market feasibility and identify a
financing•strategy-for the location of a Research and Development
Center in the City of Miami.
When the study is completed, financing identified and the state
university System has approved support for the Center, the City, in
return -for providing the land as an incentive and as its contribution
to the creation of the Center in Miami, would have the appraised
value of the property matched in cash by the State of Florida as its
like contribution to the creation of the Center. The value of the
property would be determined by an appraisal process which would be
defined by and agreed to by the State, FIU and the City of Miami. In
order to facilitate this, the Mayor recommends that a committee of
City staff be identified who will develop the contract with FIU and
the appraisal procedures for determining the value of the City's
property for negotiation with FIU and the State of Florida.
Currently, the property is being used as offices for City departments
(1st floor) and as a Jail (2nd floor). As you are aware, the City of
Miami Commission approved a two year contract in 1981 with Metro Dade
County for use of the vacated second floor of the property by Metro
as a jail to reduce the overcrowding at the County's correctional
facilities. Although the contract has expired, the City has a
tenants at will understanding with Metro whereby the building will
continue to be used as a Jail until such time as the new correctional
facilities are ready for initial operation.

In checking with Metro's Department of Corrections, we have learned
that the new facilities will not be completed in September, 1985 as
anticipated but are now scheduled for completion in June, 1987. The
impact of this information on the development of the Center will
depend on a policy decision by the City Commission as to the use of
the property.

piece of property in the nearby area which might be considered for
development which is Incinerator Plant No. 1 (9.27 acres).
Descriptive information on this property and the Municipal Justice
Building is attached.
The functions and objectives of the Research and Development Center
would be as follows:
1) Conduct research in* the areas of medical devices and
.'i instrumentation.
i
;1 Research would be conducted by FIU and the University of
Florida's engineering faculties. The two universities have an
agreement whereby the University of Florida faculty conducts
4+: basic research and FIU's faculty identifies and develops
>. applications of basic research for commercial use.
Additionally, research could be conducted by industrial based
medical companies, i.e. Cordis, Coulter, Humana. Further
°# research could be conducted by individual physicians and
technicians.
2) Serve as a business incubator to start new businesses in the
medical devices and instrumentation area.
The incubator would provide assistance to entrepreneurs
wanting to start high—technology business ventures in the
field of medical devices and instrumentation. As the
businesses matured and became more profitable, they would
occupy larger spaces in the incubator and would eventually
leave the Center as their needs for additional space grew.
3) Operate as a regional first class, major international diagnostic
clinic similar to the Cleveland Clinic, Mayo Clinic, etc.
Utilizing current development in the areas of automated expert
systems in the medical arena, individuals would utilize the
clinic for automated diagnostic tests to facilitate
medical/physician treatment.

seminars would be offered. Additionally, graduate engineering
courses would be held at the Center and technical training
would be provided in highly specialized areas.
6)
Operate an engineering clinic to test ideas for the development
............
or medical devices and instrumentation.
The engineering clinic would develop and test ideas that
physicians, inventors and technicians have for the design of
new devices, instrumentation and equipment.
7)
Conduct bio-technological industrial development research to
commercialize biological processes which have sales potential.
Research and development would be conducted to support the
growth of agricultural, bio-chemical and energy related
industries.

In
reviewing the concept, feasibility and desirability of a Research
Development
and
Center in the City of Miami, it is important to note
the
following:
Greater Miami is ranked 9th in the nation in the manufacturing
of surgical and medical equipment.
In 19831 1,431 persons were employed locally in the
manufacturing of surgical and medical equipment.
The 1983 value of shipments/receipts for these firms was over.
$86 million.
The
1990 employment projections for the Miami area
indicate a
65%
growth in jobs in health techology/technician
categories
from
1980 - 18,535 to 199Q - 30,598
The'1990
employment projections for the Miami area
indicate a
64%
growth in the number of physicians from 1980
- 39960 to
1990
- 69496

In order to facilitate the creation of the Research and Development
Center, Dr. Wolfe has agreed to brief the local members of the Board
of Regents for the state university system and to serve as the
advocate to obtain state support and financing for the construction
and operation of the facility.
In order to implement the Center, I propose that we follow the
following process:
1) The City of Miami and FIU would develop a contractual agreement
for the lease of City property for the specific purpose of
utilizing City land for the Research and Development Center.
2) The proposed agreement would be presented at a City Commission
meeting in early 1985 for approval.
3) The proposed agreement would then be presented to the Board of
Regents for the University system and authorization would be
sought by FIU to proceed to implement the Research and
Development Center.
4) A Research and Development Center Advisory Committee would be
created to advise the City of Miami and FIU on the development,
financing and implementation of the Center and staffed jointly by
the City and FIU. The persons who have been suggested by FIU and
Mayor Ferre to serve on the committee are as follows:
1. Dr. Gordon Hopkins (Chairperson/Advisory Committee)
Dean
College of Engineering & Applied Sciences
Florida International University
2. Mr. Ignacio Alvarez s
Manager, Latin American Division
