A Resolution providing the City Manager with instructions on how the
City Commission desires the City Manager to proceed with regard to
the proposed Murray Park Community Pool.
WHEREAS, the City has secured grants for an estimated amount of one million two
hundred thousand ($1,200,000.00) dollars to build a community pool; and
WHEREAS, the City Manager has requested directions from the City Commission as to
how the City desires the City Manager to proceed with regard to the construction of the
community pool; and
WHEREAS, the City Manager has suggested the following possible courses of action
( "COA "):
COA 1: Continue negotiating with the YMCA for the management of the Gibson - Bethel
Community Center as well as the pool, terminate the YMCA's lease of the South Miami
Park and, if a pool operator's agreement can be, in the City Manager's estimation, timely
executed, hire a design build firm and construct the pool.
COA IA: Continue negotiations with the YMCA for the management of the Gibson -
Bethel Community Center as well as the pool, renegotiate the YMCA's lease of the South
Miami Park and, if a pool operator's agreement can be, in the City Manager's estimation,
timely executed, hire a design build firm and construct the pool.
COA2: Continue the process of hiring the design build contractor and construct the pool
with the City of South Miami operating the pool. The City would either enter into a
contract with the YMCA to act as the pool operator or the City would absorb the total
operational and maintenance costs associated with the pool.
COA3: Same as COA2 but the CRA would absorb the costs associated with the total
operation and maintenance of the pool provide this course of action is approved by the
the CRA and Miami -Dade County.
COA4: Continue the process of hiring the design build contractor and build the pool and
during that time attempt, for a third time, to find a pool operator using the RFP process.
COA5: A combination of any of the aforementioned COAs or an alternative.
COA6: Discontinue any further attempts to build the pool and return the money already
expended (approximately $198,000) to Miami -Dade County from the City's General
Funds.
