Subject: Ordinance of the Miami City Commission, amending Chapter 18 entitled "Finance", by ereatin Ag rtiele
XI, entitled "Leases of City -owned Submerged Lands".
Background Information:
The Charter of the City of Miami ("Charter"), Section 3(f)(i), grants the City of Miami ("City") the power to
acquire by purchase, gift, devise, condemnation or otherwise, real or personal property or any estate or interest
therein, inside or outside the city, for any of the purposes of the city; and to improve, sell, lease, mortgage,
pledge, or otherwise dispose of such property or any part thereof.
The City has, over its history, acquired fee simple title to a significant amount of submerged lands. On May 8,
2014, the City adopted Resolution R-14-0184, approving, setting forth, and submitting to the electorate a
proposed amendment to Section 29-B of the Charter, to provide that notwithstanding anything in this Charter to
the contrary, the City may enter into leases or management agreements, for any City -owned submerged lands,
with entities having a possessory or ownership interest in the abutting riparian uplands for building marinas,
docks, or like facilities, using methods adopted by ordinance on the condition that such leases or management
agreements result in a return to the City of at least fair market value. On August 26, 2014, the City of Miami
residents voted to approve the Charter amendment in a special election.
The Charter amendment requires that methods be adopted by ordinance to administer leases or management
agreements for any City -owned submerged lands as contemplated in the Charter provision.
