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 MIAMI CAROL CITY PARK RECREATION CONSTRUCTION PROJECT; PROVIDING FOR THE ADOPTION OF REPRESENTATIONS;
PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Staff Summary: Background In accordance with Section 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-4) CONSENT AGENDA RESOLUTION Waive the review of APPAC regarding the Miami Carol City Park Recreation Construction
Project
1515 NW 167 Street, Building 5 Suite 200 Miami Gardens, Florida 33169 Current Situation At the time from the adoption of City Ordinance 2010-22-230 on September 8, 2010 and compared
to the scheduled date of completion for the AIPP program implementation at the Miami Carol City Park Recreation Building project in November, 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 ordinance requirement to obtain reimbursement from the 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 Miami Carol City Park Recreation Building 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 Miami Carol City Park Recreation Building project. Attachment: None.
