Managers Report
Parks video presentation.
We will be celebrating Arbor Day with a tree planting at Fuchs Park Saturday,
April 29 th at 9 AM. There will be food and beverages.
Regarding the City Hall project, as you know we canceled all bids and action
on the solicitation and the P3 applications that we have received. Since the
attorneys have created new interpretations on how we are to address such
solicitation processes, we now have an updated understanding of how we can
proceed and make the process of gaining community consensus of
expectations for a new City Hall and Police Station more apparent. As originally
stated in my first communication on the process, public involvement is key and
we will present options to you in the near future for facilitating that public
discourse on this important part of the evolution of South Miami. Commissioner
Edmond was keen on making sure that we had sufficient competition to ensure
that we realized the true market value of our offering. In that sense, we had 5
responses to the RFP for sale of the property and 3 unsolicited P3 proposals,
apparently with at least one on the way making 4 P3 approaches that we know
of. The deadline for the P3 process would still allow for more P3's to be offered.
Its my understanding that when the City of Miami issued the same two
processes, they only received 2 qualified responses for a much bigger and more
valuable property. Based on the RFP responses, the market values our property
somewhere between $18 and $23 Million. We anticipate restarting the
solicitation process within the next year as it is clear from the 72 percent of voters
that voted in the Presidential Election, the electorate of the City wish this project
to move forward.
The road improvements on SW57th Ave are still in progress at the County. The
R/W item for the property at SW 74 st passed at the Feb 7 BCC. The
maintenance agreement which has the City agreeing to maintain the
sidewalks, medians and crosswalks will go to the May committee and then to
TilE CITY OF PI.EASANT LIVING
the June BCC.

MEMORANDUM
For the construction timeline, this project uses PTP funds The County and there is
a new contract currently being awarded. The estimated date for the contract's
approval by the Board for the use of PTP is in July. Therefore, construction should
start thirty days after final board action. Commissioner Suarez is funding this
project and we appreciate his support and action on this important project.
Miami Dade League of Cities installation of Mayor Oliver Gilbert as President is
'Saturday May 13 at the Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens.
Alfredo Riverol on behalf of the City of South Miami, has once again
received the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for the current
budget from Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA). This award
'is the highest form of recognition in governmental budgeting. The award
represents a significant achievement by our City. It reflects the commitment of
the governing body and my staff to meeting the highest principles of
governmental budgeting. In order to receive the budget award, Mr Riverol on
behalf of the City, had to satisfy nationally recognized guidelines for effective
budget presentation. These guidelines are designed to assess how well an'
entity's budget serves as:
a policy document
a financial plan
an operations guide
a communications device
Budget documents must be rated "proficient" in all four categories, and in the
fourteen mandatory criteria within those categories, to receive the award.
When a Distinguished Budget Presentation Award is 'granted to an entity, a
Certificate of Recognition for Budget Presentation is also presented to the
individual(s) or department designated as being primarily responsible for having
achieved the award. This has been presented to Alfredo O. Riverolt CPA,
Cr.FA, Chief Financial Officer.
The item for approval of our Interlocal Agreement with the County for the
community circulator was on the agenda at the BCC today but it was deferred
for some reason. We are working though Commissioner Suarez office to
