1. Analysis and explanation of
Enclosures 2 and 3.
EiNCLO3UR%S:
2. Sheets 1 thru 4, Tlarinas
3. Sheet 5, IJarinas Revenues.
At the time of passage of the proposed Chapte_' 50 on First
Reading, the City Commission requested that the Administration
accomplish a number of things prior to submission of the
Crdinance for Second Reading. Briefly, those itens, and
their status, are as follows:
1. Provide, at least one week prior to Second
a complete accounting c)f iarinas costs and
Enclosures 1, 2, and 3 hereto are provided
to your request.
2. That; moneys collected fro,:, rental of docks be earmarked
for the t`^aintenamce, op•:'r .tion and ir:`Drovenent of the
City r:arinal:i .
Proposed Chapter 50 does accomplish this through the
provision of dollars to meet direct and indirect expenses,
as well as establishmentof a "Reserve" account to provide
for Capital expenditures for mo lerni. ation and improvement.
City financial records will speciically earmark the
"Reserve" funds for .:,arin use in t'ho:e areas.

3. That better rapport be established between the marina
tenants and the administration includinz police, fire,

The administration has always r72de every effort to provide
open and friendly channels of canlmuni cations between the
marina tenants and the various echelons of City goverihr'.ent .

The proposed Chapter 50 does ancolish this
distinction.
5 That fliami taxpayers should not Lc placed in a position
Where they are in effect subsidiv.in:7, non-resident boat
owners.
A provision has been added to the proposed Chapter 50
which will add a 20 surcharge to the new proposed
rates for tenants who are not either residents and/or
taxpayers of the City of Niami.
6 That a distinction be made, regarding rental rates, between
tenants who essentially have wet storage and those that
have full access to all marina amenities and privileges.
This has.been accomplished since "non live -aboard" and "wet
storage" are the one and the same, and our proposed new
dockage rates treat them both equally.
7. That a complete cost and revenue analysis be conducted by
the City to include all marinas's cost and all marinas'
revenue.
We are convinced that we have thoroughly complied
with this request and that, through use of our
proposed formula, the new proposed rates do include
all rarinas costs ani revenue.
8. That the City determine what repairs are now necessary and
what the repair costs will be, and to effect these repairs
as soon as poss-lb3e.
We know what repairs are necessary and are willing
to accomplish then as soon as funds can be identified,
and at the earliest possible moment.
9. That the City institute i=ediate steps toward the installation
of indivichtal electrical raters for each slip.
We ha ve investigateU this nd are wi]lin and
able to do it but it will te a very exuensive
project fur the tenants, who would have to pay
for the meter instaliatIon, and also lose
the advantae of "bc117" rats which the City row
enjoys.

discontinuance of that i:ar:._ia o:� ._!,Jary 1, 1977, -
and to merely leave the U=.sson Ts lanc1 dockage rates
as they presently are until that tir;::.'. Chapter 50
has been written to reflect thjs decision.
2. Because the need is so re_dily apparent, the proposed
Chapter 50 increases the decl:scse rates for the shrimping
vessels and 2 charter vessels at Dinner Key by 505,
and the sailboat concessions Ly approximately 100 .
Generally speaking, however, it is planned to completely
evaluate commercial vessel rates at City riarinas as a
separate matter immediately after resolution of the
non-commercial issue - and a proposal will be forthcoming
soon from the Administration to the City Commission
regarding commercial vessel rates.
After presentation of all of the above information, in much
greater detail, to the tenant repres_;ntatives at a meeting
held on April 21, 1976, the roues'ntatives requested that the
Administration provide tra;'i:. sit e(:._ .:lditional data. This data

ANALYSIS AND EXPLANATION
OF ENCLOSURES 2 AND 3

To obtain a true picture of the relationship between the "Total Operating Revenue" and "Total E tip en diture3" chow cr. the
followini7 sheets, there are some preliminary calculations which must be accomplished.

leased facilities llocated at (or near) marinas (:such as i•',ia::.�?'ir.a Restaurant), nci These cu_�• be remove,',
from the "Total 0peratirg Revenue' figure because they do not relate to the rental of dockage s•:ac.. Th
is
total revenue from leased facilities in 1974-75 was $10r,336.01.
(2) It must be remembered that the '•Lxpendit,Ir es" shown represent only direct costs, and that indirect (or costs of
providing fire protection, police protection, sanitation support, etc.), are ro.. include.:.
:.ere is no Reserve factor included in the "Expenditure" figures, for major maintenance, mcdernisatiar,. cr
expansion ofthe marinas.
b. If the factors cited in a(1), (2) , and (3) are taken into consideration (as they are in cur
proposed Chapter 50
rate structure) , it would be seen that the City broke even in 1969-70, but has actually been losing money on its
narina operations in the other five years shown.

Mr. Paul W. Andrews, City Manager
Office of City Manager
City Hall Dinner Key
Miami, Florida 33133
Dear Mr. Andrews;
At a recent Board meeting of the Coconut Grove Civic
Club, several members of our organization were present
to discuss a question pending before the City. They
are live aboard residents of the Dinner Key Marina.
They expressed their concern regarding the proposed
rental increase to be considered before the Commission
on thc' 26t.h. of February.
uary.
The Board felt that a rental increase by the City
certainly is justified at this time. The Civic Club
does support the Marina Tenants Assoc. insofar as that
the rate increase should be scaled so as to pressure
and foster the neighborhood character of the marina,
and that any increase in rental rates should be
conditioned upon an explicit prior commitment by the
City to construct the Marina improvements as delineated
in the Dinner Key Master Plan for the betterment of the
Marina tenants and Coconut Grove Community.
We respectfully request your sensitive consideration
of this question.
Sincerely yours,
Hen . Alexander, J r .
