CITY ATTORNEY TO NEGOTIATE AND EXECUTE AN OPTION AGREEMENT WITH WARREN HENRY ACQUISITIONS, LLC, FOR THE PURCHASE OF CERTAIN PROPERTY DESCRIBED ON EXHIBIT “A” ATTACHED HERTO, IN SUBSTANTIAL
FORM AS THAT CERTAIN AGREEMENT ATTACHED HERETO AS EXHIBIT “B”; PROVIDING FOR ADOPTION OF REPRESENTATIONS; REPEALING ALL ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT; PROVIDING A SEVERABILITY CLAUSE; PROVIDING
AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Staff Summary: In January, the City purchased approximately 15 acres form Warren Henry Acquisitions for $7.3 million with the intent to use the property for economic
development. The City has now received a request from Warren Henry to enter into an option agreement that would enable them to re‐purchase the property for the proposed relocation and
expansion of their currently existing automotive dealerships located in Miami Gardens. The proposal is for the City to option the property to Warren Henry for an initial 2 year period
for an amount equal to the City’s debt service on the $7.3 million bond issue plus a 1% carrying charge. This additional percentage translates to approximately $70,000 per year in free
and clear revenue to the City. The agreement provides for an addition option year at the end of the initial 2 years; however, during that final year, the ITEM I-1) ORDINANCE SECOND READING/PUBLIC
HEARING Warren Henry Option Agreement Page 47 of 204
1515 NW 167 Street, Building 5 Suite 200 Miami Gardens, Florida 33169 additional percentage would be 3% of the bond payment, giving the City an additional $200,000 in revenue over and
above our cost. Additionally, the option provides for the City to share 50/50 with Warren Henry, any appreciation in the property value over the current appraised value of the land ($9,300,000).
If, at the end of the 36 month period, Warren Henry does not exercise the option, the City would be free to entertain other economic development proposals. Recommendation: I recommend
that City Council approve the ordinance granting the option. Attachment: Option Agreement Page 48 of 204
{M1791489_1} Highlights of the Option Agreement 1. Option Period – Warren Henry (“WH”) has the option to purchase the property at any time during the next two years, and can extend such
option for an additional one year at the end of the first two years. 2. Option Payments – WH makes monthly option payments to the City in an amount sufficient to pay principal and interest
due on the Bonds during the Option Period, plus an additional amount of interest equal to one percent (1.0%) over the interest rate on the Bonds. (This increases to 3% in the third optional
year). 3. Option Price – To exercise the option, WH pays to the City the following: a) $7,300,000 (the face amount of the Bonds), less the amount of the monthly Option Payments attributable
to principal on the Bonds; b) all of the City’s closing costs, including documentary stamp taxes, counsel fees, and any prepayment penalties or make-whole payments on the Bonds; and
c) fifty percent (50%) of the amount by which the appraised value of the property at the time of the option execution exceeds $9,300,000 (WH’s original purchase price of the property).
4. “As Is” Purchase – Since WH previously owned the property, if it exercises the option to purchase it will take the property “as is”, without any representations or warranties of any
kind from the City. 5. Default by WH or Failure to Purchase – If WH fails to make an Option Payment or does not exercise the option to purchase, the City keeps the property and all Option
Payments previously paid. Page 49 of 204

of such Option Exercise Notice (the "Appraiser Selection Date") the Buyer will select one appraiser and Seller will select another appraiser; and each of the Buyer and Seller will notify
the other in writing thereof on or prior to the Appraiser Selection Date. Each appraiser so selected will be an independent appraiser, with (x) M.A.I. or equivalent qualifications and
(y) at least ten (10) years of active, current experience in appraising commercial land for development in the county and state where the Property is located. If the Buyer and Seller
each appoint an appraiser as provided above, then within ten (10) days thereafter, the two appraisers will select a third appraiser with the qualifications set forth in above. If the
two appraisers so selected cannot agree upon a third appraiser within such ten (10) day period, Seller shall apply to a real estate or appraisal trade organization operating in the city
and state where the Property is located (or if none then exist in the city and state where the Property is located, in such locale as Seller shall reasonably determine) (any such entity
is herein the "Board") for the appointment of such third appraiser with the qualifications required above. If either the Buyer or Seller shall fail to select an appraiser by the Appraiser
Selection Date, the appraiser that was timely selected by a party shall, within ten (10) days of such appraiser's selection, apply to the the Board for the appointment of a second appraiser
with the qualifications required above, who shall be independent of the Buyer and Seller and of the first appraiser and thereafter, two(2) appraisers shall proceed to select the third
appraiser in accordance with the procedure set forth above. If all three (3) appraisers agree upon the fair market value of the Property, such value will be the Appraised Fair Market
Value. If the three (3) appraisers cannot agree, the values determined by each of the appraisers will be averaged, and the appraisal which most deviates from that average (whether it
be the highest or the lowest appraisal) will be disregarded. The two (2) remaining appraisals will then be averaged together, and the average value so determined will be the Appraised
Fair Market Value. The decision of the appraisers so arrived at will be binding on Seller and the Buyer. Buyer shall pay any and all costs, fees and expenses of the Seller incurred in
connection with the appraisal procedure set forth above, including, without limitation, the fees and expenses of the appraisers required by this Section 3.2. 3.3 Cash to Close. At the

Project #0864 Page 1 of 2 February 18, 2009 Revised March 18, 2009 City of Miami Gardens Attn.: Ms. Renee C. Farmer, Assistant City Manager 1515 NW 167th Street Bldg. 5, Suite 200 Miami
Gardens, Fl. 33169 Re: Carol City Community Center Additional Services Architectural Proposal Dear Ms. Farmer: In follow-up to our meeting last week, we are requesting additional funding
to continue our Construction Administration Services for the Miami Gardens Community Center. Our initial proposal was an estimate of time that would be required, without the ability
to review all aspects of the project. Since this time we have spent time coordinating with all parties (City, Consultants and Contractor) to assure that the job continues to move smoothly.
As we have become familiar with the project and the needs of the City, we have continued to identify both problems with the design and addition items that City would like to have included
in the project. This has therefore exceed our initial estimate. Based on our invoicing over the last several months, we have utilized, on the average of $50,000 per month in personnel
time to provide these services. If you review our monthly invoices we did NOT charge for one of the office personnel working n your project. This was an extra set of drafting hands and
we just considered it project and office overhead. Are billing has been carefully monitored as to not over charge the City of miscellaneous costs. Please see the attached invoices. In
addition we have utilized the service of a permit expeditor and Cost Estimator to assist in expediting the project. The Cost estimator has averaged $5,000 per month for Change Order
reviews. The permit expeditor thus far has added $3,000 to the project. Our Structural Engineer has had a small additional service for the goal post footing design. Our MEP Engineer
has also been requested to complete additional services for the HVAC heating and energy management systems for the building. They have not invoiced us at this time; however, we do believe
this may be forth coming and as such have included an allowance. Our review of the pool slide has required the pool design to be revised and the cost of revising and resubmitting to
the HRS Permitting office. Aquadynamics has requested additional services for request of $4,000 for this service. Page 128 of 204

MGCC -Additional Services Importance: High Hi Chris – we have looked at the revised plans and in terms of planting the revisions are minimal, however irrigation is quite substantial
as we have to modify all the perimeter of the track which triggers further revisions and recalculations, and possible rezoning of irrigation areas. We propose to provide the above services-revisions
of planting and irrigation plans, for a lump sum fee of $ 2250.00 Please feel free to call me if you have further questions. If you need a more formal proposal or a breakdown of hours

City Manager Tasks Unsafe Structures-there are currently approximately 30 cases at various stages of the process. However, we have not moved forward with the demolition of any of
these structures. Moreover, there is no process in place to ensure that we record liens on these properties for expenditures made. This is being addressed. Building Department re-structuring-as
a result of the Director’s voluntary demotion, we are looking at the overall staffing levels and determining a more efficient structure 29Page 197 of 204
in light of the slowdown in building permits. A recommendation for staffing level adjustments and re-structure is forthcoming. Electronic document storage-given the building department’s
current location, we are rapidly running out of room to store plans and related documents. We are getting information from two companies that can provide EDS services inclusive of scanning
and data management. Calder Casino-this project is moving along and they are currently awaiting approvals from DERM, WASA, & Fire before submitting plans for City approval. Owner
desires to start construction in May and be completed in time for Super Bowl. We will try to expedite our process to ensure timely completion of our plans review and subsequent permit
issuance. Administrative Foreclosure Program-Council approved a resolution authorizing the City to proceed with this program based on established criteria. This program will provide
a Lien Amnesty Period that will allow properties with extensive liens to pay 5% of total outstanding liens. Strategic Planning Retreat-to date, all documents have been submitted to
Donna Ginn (consultant) who will compile a final strategic plan document, inclusive of each objective and their corresponding goals and strategies. This document will be incorporated
into our budget process. Community Development Director Tasks NSP update: o Received and executed contract for $6.8M. Effective date is March 1, 2009. o Issued Request for Proposals
soliciting formal interest from developers to participate in this program. Due date is March 27, 2009. Power-up program is an energy efficiency program benefiting homeowners by providing
them a free workshop to help them conserve energy in their homes. In exchange for attendance at this workshop, residents will receive a $250 voucher from Lowes to buy select items that
will help with energy conservation. Staff has coordinated with Finance to utilize our P-cards to purchase these items, hence getting some financial benefit from each transaction.
Livable Neighborhoods Initiative-the plans for the Kings Gardens I & II neighborhoods have been approved by DERM and we are ready to issue the Invitation to Bid. Getting this project
completed will help the City make a compelling argument to the other neighborhoods about the benefit of voluntarily conveying the roads to the City. Participated in the following meetings:

counted as a community of greater than 100,000 persons for the purpose of the economic stimulus package. As an FYI, earlier in 2008 the Planning and Zoning Department became aware of
discrepancies at the US Census regarding the City’s population. The Census Bureau had the City of Miami Gardens population decreasing from 2000 to about 97,000 persons in 2007. This
was brought to the Department’s attention by Vice Mayor Watson and Councilman Bratton through a conversation with Census officials in Washington. With data compiled from the Building
Department, the Department successfully challenged the Census’ figures which were adjusted to about 107,000. While we have not specifically checked to determine whether this successful
challenge lead the City of Miami Gardens to be counted as a 100,000 plus community, it would have been disappointing had we not been counted as such. • Meetings during 2008 – Compiled
