BACKGROUND: The City entered into a franchise agreement with Florida Power and Light, (FPL), in May of 1984 for a 30 -year term. The agreement granted a non - exclusive electric franchise to the utility to utilize public rights of way throughout the City in return for franchise fees. That agreement is due to expire May, 2014. With the pending expiration of the franchise agreement, it is in the City's best interest to engage a law firm with the expertise and experience of negotiating franchise agreements with utility companies.

Nabors, Gilbin & Nickerson, P.A. have extensive experience with all aspects of local government including the exercise of franchise rights, the acquisition of utility systems and related complex litigation. Furthermore, the firm is currently providing similar services for the Village of Pinecrest and, is offering the same fee schedule to the City. In the event that litigation is required regarding FPL matters, their trial attorneys are prepared to assist the City Attorney in whatever manner is required at the same hourly rates. Pursuant to Florida Statues #FS 287.057 "Procurement of Commodities or Contractual Services, legal services are not subject to competitive solicitations.

Garner WCG/lcja Enclosures (2) `gn) 2- 2/0^3 (Date) IA Amato s William C. Garner Before joining the firm., Mr. Garner served from 2005 -2010 as Chief Advisor to two Commissioners at the Florida Public Service Commission, including the Chairman, providing legal, technical and policy advice on all matters coming before the Commission. Mr. Garner was instrumental in aiding the Commissioner in rendering decisions concerning the economic regulation of investor -owned electric companies, water and wastewater companies, and natural gas distribution companies, as well as providing competitive market oversight in the telecommunications industry. As the Chairman's Chief Advisor, Mr. Garner not only provided legal and policy advice, but also acted in many respects as the agency's Chief of Staff. Mr. Garner's law and policy experience concerning Florida's public infrastructure began in 1998 when he clerked in the law firm of Rose, Sundstrom & Bentley, LLP, a firm primarily serving private water and wastewater utilities. From. 1999 to 2005, Mr. Garner served as an analyst and senior attorney in several committees of the Florida House of Representatives, including the Committee on Utilities and Telecommunications, the Committee on Transportation, and the Committee on Domestic Security. The period. during which Mr. Garner served at the Florida Public Service Commission was marked by significant activity in the development of regulatory policies designed to encourage the use of alternative and renewable energy to generate electricity. For example, between 2006 and 2009, the Commission considered new rules which significantly revised the use of standard offer contracts, provided for net metering of customer -owned electric generation, and proposed a renewable energy standard to the Florida Legislature. In addition, Mr. Garner advised the Chairman on numerous petitions of the investor -owned electric utilities requesting approval of negotiated contracts with small power producers and co- generators, as well as petitions for determination -of -need for projects with a generating capacity of 75 MW or more. Since joining the firm, Mr. Garner's public utility practice has included matters ranging from electric utility franchise issues to licensing of proposed nuclear units and the siting of associated transmission facilities. In addition, Mr. Garner provides general public utility law representation to numerous local governments, and also provides legal services related to the acquisition and divestiture of utility assets. Mr. Garner earned his Juris Doctor degree from the Florida State University College of Law in 2000, and has a Bachelor of Arts in Mass Communication from the University of South Florida with a minor in political science. Notable professional involvement includes serving as a faculty presenter on energy issues at the 2009 Growth Management, Energy, Climate Change & the Environment Short Course, and the 2009 Environmental Permitting Summer School. Mr. Gainer also participated on the National Governor's Association Center for Best Practices 2008 -2009 Policy Academy on Energy Efficiency in Buildings. Brian P. Armstrong: Before joining Nabors, Giblin & Nickerson in March, 2000, Mr. Armstrong served as senior vice - president and general counsel of Florida Water Services Corporation, Florida's largest investor - owned water and wastewater utility. Prior to his service with Florida Water, Mr. Armstrong practiced in the public utilities department of the law firm of Cullen & Dykman in New York. He is a 1984 graduate of the Georgetown University Law Center.. Mr. Armstrong has practiced public utility law for twenty -five (25) years, with a focus on water and wastewater utilities for the past eighteen. (18) years. Before joining NON, Mr. Armstrong was Senior Vice - President and General Counsel of Florida Water Services Corporation. In this position, Mr. Armstrong was responsible for all utility acquisitions and sales, legal affairs, ratemaking proceedings, customer relations, communications, governmental affairs and permitting; activities. During his time at Florida Water, the company's customer base grew from approximately 40,000 customers to more than 250,000 customers primarily through targeted acquisitions of water and wastewater systems from both developers and private utility owners. Mr. Armstrong has represented clients in the purchase and sale of utility systems located throughout Florida. His ten (l 0) years of experience representing Florida's largest private water and wastewater utility company (ending in March, 2000) provides valuable insight into the thought processes and negotiation strategies of private utility managers. Recently, Mr. Armstrong successfully negotiated the purchase of Aloha Utilities, Inc., a water and wastewater utility with a troubled past and a long history of conflict with state and local regulators as well as with its customers. Completing the transaction took the cooperation of and coordination with county commissioners, state legislators, the Florida Public Service Commission, the Department of Environmental Protection, the Southwest Florida Water Management District, the Office of Public Counsel. anal, perhaps most importantly, Aloha's customer base which includes approximately 17,000 customers. Mr. Annstrong has significant legal and regulatory experience in the energy and electric utility industries, having represented clients before the Florida Public Service Commission in numerous ratemaking proceedings, rate cases, and territorial disputes. In addition, Mr. Armstrong has an active practice representing local governments in the negotiation and exercise of electric utility franchise rights, and in negotiating and litigating special gas contracts on behalf of local governments. Pertinent Work Experience Nabors, Giblin & Nickerson, P.A. (the "Firm ") provides services for numerous local governments throughout the State of Florida. We have worked extensively in assisting local governments in issues relating to the acquisition and operation of a variety of utilities. We have litigated utility - related issues on behalf of our government clients and have been actively involved in the financing of numerous acquisitions, purchases and rehabilitations of utility systems including a variety of electric system financings. Most importantly, we have assisted local governments in negotiating and exercising their franchise rights against public utilities, including Florida Power & Light Company ( "FPL" ). Below is a partial summary of our experience assisting local governments in utility - related transactions and litigation. A. Representation in Franchise Negotiations _ and Enforcement of Franchise Purchase Option. Beginning in 2007, the Firm has provided legal services to the City of South Daytona in its efforts to negotiate renewal of, and later to enforce, its franchise agreement with FPL. FPL insisted on deleting language in the expiring franchise agreement, without compensation, which granted the City the right to purchase FPL's assets within the City and provided a favorable pricing formula. The City therefore sought enforcement of its purchase rights in court and won. During court- ordered negotiations on an asset purchase, FPL successfully mounted a Charter revision and referendum campaign halting the sale. The parties are again negotiating a renewal of the franchise agreement. The Firm also assisted the City in forcing FPL to continue to collect and remit the franchise fee under the terms of the expiring agreement pending sale or successful negotiation of a new agreement. B. Representation in the Exercise of Franchise Rights. In Santa Rosa County v. Gulf Power Co., 635 So. 2d 96 (Fla. lst DCA 1994), rev den'd sub nom. Gulf Power Co. v. Santa Rosa County, 645 So. 2d 452 (Fla. 1994), the Firm successfully established a local government's right to impose a franchise fee upon an investor -owned electric utility to recover the fair market value of the utility's use of the government's right of way for electric distribution lines. C. Representation in the Exercise of Franchise Rights. In Alachua County v. State, 737 So. 2d 1065 (Fla. 1999), the Firm represented Alachua County in litigation against Florida Power Corporation and Florida Power & Light. Although the Florida Supreme Court struck down Alachua County's "privilege" fee, the Court nevertheless re- affirmed the County's right to collect a franchise fee for right of way utilization. D. Representation of Sarasota County in enforcing acquisition rights provided in a development agreement _ the Firm represented Sarasota County in the enforcement of the County's utility acquisition rights pursuant to a development agreement entered into between. the developer and Sarasota County. The decision is reported at Sarasota County v. Taylor Woodrow Homes Limited, 652 So. 2d 1247 (Fla. 2d DCA 1995)4 E. Creation of Florida Governmental Utility Authority - the Firm was instrumental in the creation of the Florida Governmental Utility Authority which is an intergovernmental authority created under Chapter 163, Florida Statutes, by various counties throughout the State to acquire utility facilities. Since its creation, we have assisted local governments in the acquisition of hundreds of millions of dollars worth of utility assets. Recently, the Firm led negotiations of behalf of the Authority leading to agreement with Aqua Utilities Florida, Inc., Florida's largest statewide water and sewer utility company, for the Authority's purchase of Aqua's Florida assets. The Firm is currently providing legal services necessary to close the transaction. F. Acquisition of the Assets of Avatar Facilities - the Firm negotiated and acquired the assets of Avatar Holding Company, Inc., on behalf of the Florida Governmental Utility Authority and assisted several other local governments in the acquisition of other assets of Florida Water Services Corporation. G. Acquisition of Assets of Florida Water Services Corporation - the Firm negotiated and acquired the assets of Florida Water Services Corporation on behalf of the Florida Governmental Utility Authority, Charlotte County and the Tohopekaliga Water Authority, H. Representation of the Tampa Bay. Water Authority - the Firm represented the Tampa Bay Water Authority, a governmental water utility serving the Tampa Bay area, in the establishment of its governance structure, as well as the preparation of a new master water supply contract for all the member governments. This representation also includes acquiring the water assets of the various member governments and the financing of the various elements of Tampa Bay Water's capital improvement program through the issuance of approximately $2 billion of indebtedness. I. Acquisition of Atlantic Utilities Water and Wastewater System by Sarasota County through eminent domain proceeding - the Firm represented Sarasota County in eminent domain proceedings brought against Atlantic Utilities of Sarasota, Inc. to acquire the utility's assets. This litigation is one of the few cases in Florida to proceed through trial and ultimate valuation by a jury. J. Various Other Government Utility Clients of the Firm - representative government entities for which the Firm currently provides or recently concluded utility related legal services include the City of Plant City, the City of South Daytona, the City of Tamarac, the Village of Pinecrest, Flagler County, Gadsden County, Hendry County, Columbia County, Levy County, Marion County, Monroe County, St. John's County, Okaloosa County, Dixie County, the Florida Governmental Utility Authority, the Lake Apopka Natural Gas District and the Lanark Village Water and Sewer District. RESOLUTION No.: 68-11-13382 A Resolution of the Mayor and City Commission of the City of South Miami, Florida, exploring options with regard to the Florida Power & Light Franchise Agreement scheduled to expire in 2014; and providing an effective date. WHEREAS, in May of 1984, the City of South Miami entered into a franchise agreement (the "Franchise Agreement") with FPL for a 30 -year period which granted a non- exclusive electric franchise to the utility to utilize public rights of way throughout the City in return for franchise fees; and WHEREAS, the City currently receives approximately $1.2 million annually in franchise fees, approximately 9.4% of annual tax revenues and 6.4% of annual total revenues; and WHEREAS, certain franchise fees remitted to the City come from a regressive consumption tax of 5.7% on the electric bills of rate payers; and WHEREAS, the Franchise Agreement creates a tax on residents and business owners, in exchange for which they sign over sovereign rights to FPL - in essence the Franchise Agreement forces taxpayers to pay to lose their own rights; and WHEREAS, the Franchise Agreement locks taxpayers into a fixed tax rate for 30 years that cannot be changed by elected officials or by citizen referendum, even though the electric rates can be changed by FPL with no consent by the taxed parties or municipal elected. officials, thus the amount the citizens are taxed is no longer under control of the City; and WHEREAS, the 30 year monopoly created by the Franchise Agreement limits the options available to City residents with regards to lowering energy prices and encouraging innovation through competition; and WHEREAS, pursuant to the Franchise Agreement, FPL can locate power lines and equipment almost any place unless the City can find a reason to challenge such placem ent or use; and WHEREAS, the City's right to self - determination dictate's sovereign authority with regards to the placement of power lines within the City, the deployment of new technologies, the use of renewable energy sources, and the distribution and selling of locally generated solar power; WHEREAS, FPL passes most, but not all, of the franchise fees through to the City, minus certain holdbacks, and subject to certain delays which allow FPL free use of the citizens' money; and WHEREAS, Miami Beach audited FPL's franchise fee collections over a three -year period and found that FPL had underpaid their city $1 million; and Page 1 of 2 Res. No. 68 -11 -13382 WHEREAS, the City of Parkland, FL in Broward County did not renew their Franchise Agreement with FPL in 1993 but has continued to receive electric service as before; and WI- IEREAS, Franchise Agreements are unnecessary because cities without Franchise Agreements may continue to purchase electricity from FPL at the same rates as those with Franchise Agreements; NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI THAT: Section 1. The City shall study all options with regards to the FPL Franchise Agreement expiring in May of 2014 including options to develop alternate tax revenues to replace the current revenue stream from franchise taxes imposed on rate payer's electricity bills with the goal that, by fiscal year 2013 -14, the City will not need to rely on electricity franchise fees revenues for operations and could refrain from entering into a new Franchise Agreement with FPL. Section 2. This resolution shall take effect immediately upon adoption. PASSED AND ADOPTED this 19 thday of _Apri _L._ 2011. ATTEST: Oyj Ce t:� &A� CITY CLERK APPROVED: .
