Required: (Enter X in box) Yes No RFP/RFQ/Bid #: N/A X Sponsor: Danny Crew, City Manager Department: Planning and Zoning Staff Summary: Status Report Regarding Proposed Amendments to Interlocal Agreement (ILA) for Public School Facility Planning Background • In 2007, City of Miami Gardens adopted the “Amended and Restated Interlocal Agreement (ILA)” a/k/a “Consensus Interlocal Agreement (ILA)” with Miami Dade County Public Schools. • Consensus ILA was adopted by 25 out of 27 non-exempt municipalities. • In 2008 Miami-Dade County adopted the “Bi-Lateral Interlocal Agreement (ILA)” with Miami-Dade Public Schools (City of Hialeah and Hialeah Gardens adopted the Bi-Lateral Agreement). • Presentation on ILA amendments was given to City Council by Miami Dade Public Schools (MDPS) staff on January 6, 2010. It was explained that the “Favored Nations Clause”; in the ILA triggers the School Board to offer same terms contained in the Bi-lateral ILA to signatories of the Consensus ILA. This results in consideration of ILA amendment(s). There are two types of ILA amendments for consideration-• Sections 17 and 18 of the Consensus ILA trigger optional amendments to the Consensus ILA (City’s current ILA). Response to MDPS is requested by September 24, 2010. • Section 16 and 19 of the Bi-Lateral ILA trigger the non-optional “Amendment 1”. This amendment addresses the issue on unanimous vote versus 2/3 majority vote of the local governments on all future amendments to the Consensus ILA (City’s current ILA). Response to MDPS is required by December 31, 2010. ITME 11-A) CITY MANAGER'S REPORT Proposed Amendment to Interlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning Page 168 of 170 1515 NW 167 Street, Building 5 Suite 200 Miami Gardens, Florida 33169 Current Situation • Optional Amendments – A local government may choose to adopt none, some, or all amendments. Optional amendments are entirely optional and will be supplementary amendments to the Consensus ILA (City’s current ILA). Please see attached form. 1) Optional amendments to be considered are: 1) Section 9.2 (a) Capacity Methodology and Formula for Availability; 2) 9.2 (b) level of Service Standard; 3) 9.2 (c) Concurrency Service Areas; 4) 9.2 (d) Student Generation multipliers; 5) 9.2 (f) Proportionate Share Mitigation (includes Charter School Criteria); 6) Section 9.3 Updates to Public School Concurrency; 7) Section 22 Taking and Vested Rights; 8) No optional amendments will be selected. 2) Optional amendment related to Charter Schools-MDPS Staff Working Group (SWG) created a sub-committee to review and make recommendations on criteria for Charter Schools (mitigation option at sole option of the School Board). Miami Gardens will be represented as a member in this sub-committee. The committee will report recommendations to the SWG at its next meeting in October 2010. • Non-Optional “Amendment 1” (unanimity versus 2/3 vote) 1) MUST be considered by all local governments. Adds a new Section 21 to the Consensus ILA (City’s current ILA). 2) Local government may choose to keep the current unanimity vote OR decide to have the proposed 2/3 majority vote. 3) Amendment for the proposed 2/3 majority vote must be unanimously approved by all municipalities in order for it to become effective. In that case, each local government will need to execute the amendment which shall not be effective until the amendment is fully executed by all applicable parties. 4) If the amendment is not unanimously approved, the current requirement for unanimous vote while considering future amendments to ILA will remain in effect. • ILA Amendment Process a) Optional amendments package correspondence was sent by MDPS to all local governments in March 2010. Response Response regarding which optional amendments were to be considered by City was requested by September 24, 2010. Per April 29, 2010 SWG meeting if a local government opts to consider optional and non-optional amendments at the same time, staff may communicate to MDPS accordingly. There are no consequences to not meeting the deadline for optional amendments. b) Staff has sent correspondence to MDPS advising that both optional amendments and nonoptional Amendment 1 will be considered by the City Council at the same time. 1) Amendment 1 package correspondence will be sent by MDPS to all local governments by October 30, 2010. 2) From receipt of second package, staff has 60 days to present both optional amendments and non-optional Amendment 1 items to City Council for consideration. City Council will take action through Resolution. 3) Result must be transmitted back to MDPS by December 31, 2010. Analysis There is no impact on City of Miami Gardens operations.
