OFFICE OF THE CITY ATTORNEY
MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of tl City Bison
FROM: Victoria Mendez, City Attorne
DATE: September 29, 2015
RE: Proposed Settlement for City Commission Meeting — October 8, 2015
(File ID No. 15-01258)
The attached proposed Resolution seeks authorization for the settlement of all claims
brought by the Village of Key Biscayne involving the City of Miami, by the City's entry into a
settlement agreement with the Village of Key Biscayne. The parties seek to enter into a
settlement that would authorize a joint management agreement for the parcel by both
municipalities, accepting a capital contribution by the Village of Key Biscayne, and recording a
covenant to that effect.
These cases were brought by the Village of Key Biscayne seeking to enjoin the City from
its plans to renovate a portion of the Marine Stadium property into what Key Biscayne describes
as an "ongoing commercial event and exhibition venue." Key Biscayne alleges, among other
things, that the City's plans for a boat show violate the comprehensive plan; violate the Miami
21 Code; and violate the 1963 deed of the property from Miami -Dade County for "Marine
Stadium and allied purposes only."
