A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MIAMI GARDENS, FLORIDA,
AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER AND THE CITY CLERK TO EXECUTE AND ATTEST,
RESPECTIVELY THAT CERTAIN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT FOR MEMBERSHIP IN THE
CLEAN ENERGY COASTAL CORRIDOR; PROVIDING FOR INSTRUCTIONS TO THE CITY
CLERK; PROVIDING FOR THE ADOPTION OF REPRESENTATIONS; PROVIDING FOR
AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Staff Summary:
Background:
In 2010, the Florida Legislature adopted House Bill 7179 (Section 163.08, F.S.), which allows local
governments to create Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) programs in order to provide financing for
energy conservation and efficiency, renewable energy, wind resistance and other improvement projects
consistent with state law.
House Bill 7179 authorizes local governments to levy non-ad valorem assessments to fund certain energy
conservation and efficiency improvements. The Bill allows business and residential property owners to
apply for funding and enter into agreements with local government to finance these improvements.
Item K-7) Consent Agenda
Resolution
Clean Energy Pace Program
Page 38 of 98
18605 NW 27th Avenue
Miami Gardens, Florida 33056
In 2013, the Clean Energy Coastal Corridor (PACE District) was created in order to provide municipalities in
Miami-Dade County with affordable financing opportunities for qualifying improvements. Through an
Interlocal Agreement, several municipalities have joined including Bay Harbor Islands, Biscayne Park, El
Portal, Key Biscayne, North Bay Village and Surfside.
Current Situation:
The upfront cost of energy conservation improvements limit property owners from investing in these
projects. By joining the Clean Energy Coastal Corridor (PACE District), City of Miami Gardens business and
residential property owners can pay for energy upgrades over time using long-term, low-interest financing.
The projects are repaid through an annual assessment on the property tax bill.
The PACE program will increase the sustainability and aesthetics of properties within the City, thereby
increasing property value, efficiency and usability. Residents and business owners will be assisted in
reducing their carbon footprint and energy costs. The program will also stimulate the local economy through
the creation of construction jobs.
Proposed Action:
It is recommended that the City Council promote the implementation of energy conservation and efficiency
projects by approving the creation of a PACE program and adopting an Interlocal Agreement between the
Clean Energy Coastal Corridor (PACE District).
