Staff Summary: Background: ITEM K-12) CONSENT AGENDA RESOLUTION GOB Funding for North Dade Optimist Park
1515 NW 167 Street, Building 5 Suite 200 Miami Gardens, Florida 33169 On November 4, 2004 Miami ‐Dade County residents approved the Building Better Communities General Obligation Bond (GOB) Program. As a result the City of Miami Gardens will receive approximately $9.83M for the design and construction of several park projects. The Administrative Rules for the Building Better Communities Program have been established and approved by the Board of County Commissioners. As a condition to receive bond funds, the City must enter into an Interlocal Agreement with Miami ‐Dade County. In 2007, City Council passed Resolution #2007 ‐12 ‐519 which executed Building Better Communities Interlocal Agreement #1 for North Dade Optimist Park. As city staff worked to develop a sound design for this park, we also identified the need for additional funds. Current Situation City staff has worked diligently with Miami Dade County Office of Capital Improvements to release additional funds for this shovel ready project. Per this interlocal agreement North Dade Optimist Park (Project 54 ‐71066) is eligible for additional funding not to exceed $1,448,000. Of this Miami Dade County has agreed to allocate $1,000,000 from Series 2011 A Bonds to renovate North Dade Optimist Park, with the remaining funds to be issued at a later date. Proposed Action: It is recommended that Council approve the attached Building Better Communities Interlocal Agreement #2 with Miami Dade County for the North Dade Optimist Park (Project 54 ‐71066) in the amount of $1,000,000 as well as allow the City Manager to execute future GOB agreements related to this project.
