applicable provisions of the City Charter, all other applicable law, and, if required, approval by

WHEREAS, the City of Miami ("City") owns the real property located at 3501

WHEREAS, the City requires professional management and operational services for the
Miami Marine Stadium, Virginia Key Center, and Flex Park (collectively, the "Services"); and
WHEREAS, on January 31, 2025, the Department of Procurement ("Procurement")
issued Request for Proposals No. 1926386 for Management of the Miami Marine Stadium, and
Flex Park to establish one or more contracts for the Services; and
WHEREAS, at the conclusion of the solicitation process, Global Spectrum, L.P. d/b/a

WHEREAS, the City Commission is considering approval of a management agreement

to three additional ten-year renewals, a Ten Million Dollar ($10,000,000.00) capital contribution

WHEREAS, because the contemplated management agreement provides for a term

WHEREAS, the City intends to have Global Spectrum manage and operate Miami
Marine Stadium and Flex Park under a management agreement contemplated herein, without
any commitment to maintain the agreement for the full potential term or to exercise any renewal
option, and, if Global Spectrum's operational experience indicates that additional activation
would enhance public use and increase revenues to the City, the City may during the term
consider modifying or replacing the arrangement, including by entering into a separate
agreement, which may include a lease, to provide further capital improvements, subject to
applicable provisions of the City Charter, all other applicable law, and, if required, approval by
the electors at a separate referendum; and
WHEREAS, approval of this ballot question does not constitute approval of any future
lease or capital improvement program for the site, and any such proposal shall be presented to
the City Commission for consideration in accordance with applicable law and, if required by
applicable provisions of the City Charter, submitted to the electors at a separate referendum;
