Stoddard Mayor (~ South ~Miami CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER MEMORANDUM TIIF etTY Of PLEA$Ar",'T L!VI~G To: The Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Commission FROM: Steven Alexander DATE: March 15, 2016 SUBJECT: Managers Report We have met with Troy Ballard, Senior Managing Director of ARA Newmark and Lynx Development Group, LLC who is the offerer' behind the letter of interest (LOI) regarding the proposed purchase of our main property. They were very understanding about the valuation issue and thought their offer was fair given the uses that they understood the City Commission and community wished to have on the site. They were very interested in revising their offer and the proposed uses of the property, to generate a higher valuation and expressed a desire to meet with City Commissioners to become better educated in the current goals and targets that each Commissioner may have in order to attempt to incorporate them into their revised proposal. We have a meeting set with RER (DERM) regarding their suggestions to the tree ordinance for the end of this week as they postponed this meeting from an earlier date. We have received appraisals for the Robinson properties in and across from the Madison Square location and I have sent them to the authorized representiative of the property with a statement summarizing our verbal agreement on the sale price of these properties. I have not heard back from him yet, but hope soon to negotiate a potential sales agreement. The Family Dollar concern has continued to express interest in this project. Fausto Gomez and his team were successful again this year in securing funding from the legislature for the Miami Twin Lakes / Tllf CITY or PIJASAr-.:T LIVING CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER MEMORANDUM Cocoplum Sanitary Sewer Expansion Program. The majority of the City of South Miami is in need of additional sanitary sewer infrastructure. This project focuses on a section of the Twin Lakes area, a residential area located between SW 64th Court to 62nd Avenue and between SW 56th Street to SW 70th Street. Currently, this area is served by septic tank systems. Due to the immediate proximity of drainage canals, surface lakes, and low topography this area has a higher than average potential for its septic tanks to flood and overflow with a minor rainfall event. It is therefore imperative to connect to the public sanitary sewer system that is bounding the project area. This project entails design and construction of approximately 6,000 linear feet of sanitary sewer gravity system. Current Project Cost: $1,200,000.00 Amount Requested: $200,000.00 Local Match Amount: $1,000,000.00 GOB Annual Easter Egg Hunt will be on Wednesday, Mar. 16 th at 4:00 PM at Marshall Williamson Park. This is a free event for families as well as the city's after-school program to take pictures with the Easter bunny and search for hidden eggs at the park.
