Background of Item:
On March 10, 2005, the City of Miami ("City") conveyed to Wagner Square, LLC
("Wagner Square "), the three (3) separate parcels of real property formerly known as
the Civic Center Site and later known as Wagner Square, located at 1431 NW 17
Street, 1405-07 NW 17 Street and 1700 NW 14 Avenue, Miami, Florida (collectively, the
"Original Properties"), pursuant to a Purchase and Sale Agreement dated May 30,
2003, as amended ("Agreement").
On September 21, 2012, the United States of America, Department of Veterans Affairs
("VA") acquired one (1) parcel of the Original Properties located at 1455 NW 17 Street
(F/K/A 1700 NW 14 Avenue), City of Miami ("City") through the Special Warranty Deed
OR Book 28289 Page 2750. The VA has requested to purchase from the City the
remaining two (2) parcels of the Original Property located at approximately 1455 NW
17 Street with the folios 01-3135-087-0010 and 01-3135-087-0012, Miami, Florida,
containing an approximate total combined lot area of 42,309 square feet, as legally
described in Exhibit A, attached and incorporated (collectively, "Property"), for a total
purchase price of Three Million Six Hundred Thousand Dollars ($3,600,000.00)
("Purchase Price"), for use by the VA as additional parking to their neighboring facility.
The City desires to assist the VA with the proposed purchase of the Properties through
the government to government sale provisions of Section 29-B(c) of the Charter of the
City of Miami, as amended ("Charter") and the City Manager has determined,
recommended, and found in his memorandum attached hereto and made a part hereof
as Attachment A, that in accordance with the Charter and with Section 189-182 of the
Code of the City of Miami, as amended ("City Code"), the proposed sale of the
Properties is in the best interests of the City and the greater Miami -Dade communities
to assist veterans and their families. The Charter and the Code require a four -fifths
(4/5ths) affirmative vote of the City Commission in order to waive the requirements for
the financial return to the City for the sale of the Properties to the VA to be
accomplished at the Purchase Price which is less than fair market value.
The City Commission shall hereby determine that it is in the best interests of the City to
transfer and to sell the Properties to the VA for the Purchase Price with reverters and
restrictions in accordance with the Charter and the City Code, and authorizes the City
Manager to negotiate and execute a purchase and sale agreement, in a form
acceptable to the City Attorney, and to further authorize the City Manager, after
consultation with the City Attorney, to negotiate and execute all other necessary
documents, extensions, modifications, renewals, and amendments to accomplish and to
evidence the foregoing as may be required for implementation of this Resolution and at
no costs to the City.
