Background Information:
In the Fall of 2014 the Department of Planning and Zoning received notice from Miami -Dade County's
Department of Cultural affairs that the City of Miami was not in compliance with County Code Section
2-11.15 entitled "Art in Public Places Program". Whereas all municipalities in the incorporated area of
Miami -Dade County must comply with said requirement.
Subsequently, the Department of Planning and Zoning has been working with CITP to ensure
compliance. Failure to comply with Section 2-11.15 may result in immediate suspension of SNP and
GOB payments to the City.
In an effort to meet the mandated requirement, the City has contracted with Miami -Dade County
Department of Cultural Affairs to administer and commission the public art on City projects.
As a result, the Department of Planning and Zoning conducted a thorough analysis of Public Art
Ordinances locally and across the country. Since the County started to enforce the Public Art
requirement several municipalities in Miami -Dade County moved to adopt their own Public Art
Ordinances.
The Department is proposing that the City adopt its own Public Art Ordinance as presented. Said
ordinance will bring the City into compliance with Miami -Dade County requirements and will give
the City jurisdiction on the selection and commissioning of public art within the City. This ordinance
will apply to applicable public and private development.
The City's approximate fee to be paid to MDC in 2016 is $180k which represents a 15% administrative
fee and 15% maintenance fee of the 1.5% on Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) (See attached Exhibit
A.). The amount contracted will be reverted to the City in the event the city starts its own Art in Public
Places Program.
The cost of the operation for the first year has been conservatively calculated in the amount of $ 179k,
which is slightly below of the amount the city would pay the county to solely administer City public art
projects. Verses reviewing city and private development while generating up to $13.2 million towards
public art from private development. The ordinance as presented will have no fiscal impact to the City;
