Improvements Short Title: A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MIAMI GARDENS, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO WAIVE THE REVIEW OF THE ART IN PUBLIC PLACES ADVISORY
COMMITTEE (APPAC) FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE ART IN PUBLIC PLACES (AIPP) PROGRAM FOR THE BETTY T. FERGUSON RECREATION COMPLEX AMPHITHEATRE CONSTRUCTION PROJECT; PROVIDING FOR THE
ADOPTION OF REPRESENTATIONS; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Staff Summary: Background In accordance with Section 2-11.15 Art in Public Places of the Miami-Dade County Code of Ordinances,
each municipality within Miami-Dade County shall provide for the acquisition of works of art equivalent to not less than one and one-half (1 ½) percent of the construction cost of new
public buildings. The reimbursement of any grant funding provided by Miami-Dade County is contingent upon meeting the requirements of the aforementioned County ordinance. In order to
obtain contracted grant funds, the Art in Public Places requirement must be met at the time of the construction project’s completion. City Ordinance 2010-22-230 was passed on September
8, 2010, establishing the City of Miami Gardens Art in Public Places (AIPP) Program. ITEM J-3) CONSENT AGENDA RESOLUTION Waive the reveiw of APPAC regarding the Betty T. Ferguson Recreation
Complex
1515 NW 167 Street, Building 5 Suite 200 Miami Gardens, Florida 33169 Current Situation At the of the adoption of City Ordinance 2010-22-230 on September 8, 2010, compared to the scheduled
date of completion for the AIPP program implementation at the Betty T. Ferguson Recreation Complex (formally known as Miami Gardens Community Center) Phase II – Amphitheatre, does not
allow an adequate timeframe to properly form the Art in Public Places Advisory Committee (APPAC) as outlined by the guidelines of the city’s ordinance. All other aspects of the City’s
AAIP process outlined in the Ordinance will be followed, including Council’s approval. In order to meet the above noted Miami-Dade County requirement to obtain reimbursement from the
Safe Neighborhood Parks and Building Better Communities (GOB) county grant funding, the City must move forward with the implementation of AIPP program without the formation of the Art
in Public Places Advisory Committee (APPAC). Any delay in the commencement of AIPP implementation for the Betty T. Ferguson Recreation Complex (formally known as Miami Gardens Community
Center) Phase II – Amphitheatre project would mean that the City would not meet the necessary time constraints; hence the project would not be in compliance with County requirements
for reimbursement of grant funding when the project achieves construction substantial completion. Proposed Action: In order to meet necessary time constraints to draw down on County-allocated
grant funds, it is recommended that City Council authorize the City Manager to waive the requirement of the Art in Public Places Advisory Committee (APPAC) review for the implementation
of Art in Public Places (AIPP) program for the Betty T. Ferguson Recreation Complex (formally known as Miami Gardens Community Center) Phase II – Amphitheatre project. Attachment: None.
