INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members DATE; September 24, 2014
of the City ComMission
FROM: Daniel J. Alf° o
City Manager
SUBJECT: Parks Remediation Funding
Discussion —September 29, 2014
It was clear from the discussion at the September 11, 2014 meeting that the pending
environmental remediation projects are a Citywide issue and not "District" problems, It was
also clear that we all want to re -open these parks as expeditiously as possible.
To that end, I am recommending that the City begin the process of Issuing a Non -Ad Valorem
Special Obligation Bond (SOB) in the amount $10.1 million only to fund environmental
remediatlon projects. Preliminarily, staff would expect the bond to have a repayment schedule
of 20 years, pledge funds from the Local Government Half -cent Sales Tax Program with a
covenant to budget and appropriate to repay the debt service from the General Fund, and have
an annual payment between $700,000 and $900„000. Florida Statute Section 218,64(4) states
that a "municipality may pledge the proceeds for the payment of principal and interest on any
capital project" as part of the Local Government Half -cent Sales Tax Program. Further, as
applicable funds become available in the future associated with the Virginia Key Remediation
Project or the sale of Brownsfields Credits, those funds will be used to defease or otherwise
retire the financing early.
The attached resolution constitutes a Declaration of Intent to Finance these projects for a
reimbursable amount not to exceed $10.1 million.
Projects to be included In this bond issuance and associated costs are currently estimated to be:
• City of Miami Fire Rescue Training Center (3425 Jefferson Street) ($446,400).
• Grapeland Park (1550 NW 37 Ave) ($51,300)
• Melreese (1802 NW 37 Ave) ($200,000)
• City of Miami Property at Watson island (980 MacArthur Causeway) ($ 05 700)

Page2of3
Curtis Park (1901 NW 24th Ave) ($3,820,700)
Billy Rolle (3400 Grand Avenue) ($233,500)
Southside Park (100 SW 11 Street). ($1,001,900)
Douglas Park (2795 SW 37 Ave) ($3,296,700)
® St. Gaudens Road (3500 St. Gaudens Rd) ($213,000)
Former Shamrock Gas Station (6200 NW 17 Ave) ($79,100)
Farmer Coleman Gas Station (5329 NW 17 Ave) ($635,000)
Additionally, thereare several projects that are likely not eligible for bonding purposes. These
projects are recommended to be funded on a pay-as-you-go basis and are included in item
RE,14 on the September 29, 2014 Commission Agenda. These projects are expected to be:
• Fern Isle Park ($10,000)
• Jose Marti Park ($6,000)
Right of Way ($68,400)
Composting Facility ($10,000)
Former Star Gas Station ($56,500)
Further discussions Included adding additional park impact fees to the Community Center and
remediation protects at Douglas Park. Currently, the two projects have the following funded
and unfunded amounts associated with -them;
• Douglas Park Community Center
O $2.5 million total cost
ra $1.65 million funded
o $850,000 un-funded
Douglas Park Turf
a $3.5 million total cost
a $1.5 million funded
a $2 million un-funded
As such, we are recommending that the turf project be discontinued and that $850,000 from
that project be moved to the Community Center to fully fund that project, Additionally,
Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Commission
Page 3 of 3
$2OO,000 Is recommended to be moved to the GreenLink/Underline Project to help fund the
City's portion of this 10-mile park. The remaining $450,000 is recommended to be added to the
Citywide Parks land acquisition projected to allow for the purchase of land for future park uses.
The attached resolution addresses these goals.
Likewise, parks impact fees will be released from other projects that had impact fees budgeted
to assist remediation (such as turf projects).
I must stress that I recommend that this financing be done only to fund environmental
Lemediation projects. We are all aware of the extensive capital needs throughout the City; and,
we could each compile a list totaling many millions of dollars-. I will recommend other ways of
funding such needs in future meetings, but strongly recommend that this financing be very
limited in scope.

INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members DATE: December 29, 2014
of the City Commission
FROM: Daniel J. Alfonso
City Manages
SUBJECT: Financing for Capital Improvements
of the Lands Surrounding the
Miami Marine Stadium
The discussion at the November 20, 2014 City Commission Meeting regarding the Miami Marine Stadium
resulted in direction to begin negotiations with the International Boat Show ("Show") to bring the event to
the Miami Marine Stadium. Discussions with the National Marine Manufacturer's Association have
identified a series of improvements that need to be made to host the Show. As such, City staff has
prepared a preliminary scope of work and cost estimate for capital improvements to include site work and
infrastructure development of an approximately 15-acre park located at the Virginia Key property
surrounding the Marine Stadium necessary to host the event, but not to repair the Marine Stadium itself.
The site work includes, but is not limited to: clearing, excavation, import of limerock fill and/or soil,
compaction, roadway reconstruction, paving, concrete work, landscape, hardscape and/or walkways and
the installation of sod (or turf). The infrastructure development includes, but is not limited to: drainage
and stormwater facilities, water mains with fire protection, sewer mains, lighting, irrigation and an
electrical power grid (including any necessary related capital public work to the upland, shoreline
improvements, and submerged lands). The flex park will provide a multi -purpose recreational facility for
park users as well as provide the infrastructure to support special events.
We are requesting approval to begin the process of issuing a Non -Ad Valorem Special Obligation Bond (or
similar financing mechanism) (taxable or tax exempt as appropriate) in the amount not to exceed $16
million only to fund improvements surrounding the Miami Marine Stadium. Preliminarily, staff would
expect the bond to have a repayment schedule of 15 to 20 years and pledge funds from the Local
Government Half -cent Sales Tax Program with a covenant to budget and appropriate to repay the debt
service from the General Fund (in accordance with Florida Statute Section 218.64(4)).
The attached resolution constitutes a Declaration of Intent to Finance this project for a reimbursable
amount not to exceed $16 million.
Should you have any questions, please contact Christopher Rose, Budget Director, at 305-416-1500.
