available funds from the Homeland Defense/Neighborhood Improvement Bond Proceeds for various
capital improvement purposes including appropriating $5,500,000 to the Neighborhood Fire Stations

need to add a fire station in the Northeast area of the City of Miami to improve emergency response
time and the fire station must be located within the following boundaries between Northeast 5th
Avenue to the west, Northeast 1 lth Avenue to the east, Northeast 73rd Street to the south, and

located at 958 and 960 N.E. 79 Street, Miami, Florida, are within the Northeast Fire Station Project

market value for both properties. The Purchase Price exceeds the appraised value by 11%. The
Department of Economic Development has prepared an Option to Purchase Real Property Agreement
("Option Agreement") to purchase said properties for $1,050,000. It is a condition precedent to the
validity of the Option Agreement and its execution by the City Manager that the City of Miami
Commission approve the Option Agreement by a greater majority of a 4/5th affirmative vote. Failing
such approval the Option Agreement shall be automatically null and void without the necessity of
