In March of 1995 Thompson Consultants International prepared a Master Plan in which the findings

area. On April 25, 1996, the Miami City Commission, passed and adopted Resolution No. 96-281
authorizing and directing the City Manager to negotiate an agreement between the City and the
Authority, and designated the Authority as the entity to coordinate the development of the Air
Transportation Facility. On June 9, 2004, the City completed a Master Plan Study that was prepared
by Kimley-Horn and Associates for the development of an Air Transportation Facility on Watson
Island.
The City requested assistance from the State of Florida, in the form of a grant, for the costs of
development and construction of the Air Transportation Facility, and the State of Florida has
appropriated certain funds for such assistance. The Authority, with funding assistance, subject to
availability from other parties including the Florida Department of Transportation, may use such
funds in order to help develop, and construct the Air Transportation Facility at ,Watson Island.
On March 29, 2012, the Members of the Board of the Authority passed a motion authorizing and
directing the Authority's Executive Director to negotiate and execute an agreement between the
Authority and the City to effectuate and implement the purposes stated above.
