CITY OF AVENTURA OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER MEMORANDUM TO: City Commission FROM: Eric M. Soroka, ICMA -CM, City llanater DATE: December 17, 2012 SUBJECT: License to Use Real Property With -PMG Aventura, LLC As part of the Conditional Use Approval for the Echo Condominium Project to be located at 3250 N.E. 188th Street, the developer, PMG Aventura, LLC dedicated 1.5 acres to the City. The developer has requested to use the 1.5 acre parcel during construction of the project for the parking of construction vehicles and a sales office. In return, they have agreed to pay a fee of $125,000 to the City. The term of the Agreement is for 18 months with an option to extend the term by six months at a cost of $6,000 a month. It is recommended that the City Commission consider the approval of the License to Use Real Property document for the following reasons: 1. During the construction of the Echo project it would be unwise for safety reasons to utilize the 1.5 acres as a park site. 2. The license fee of $125,000 could be utilized to offset the cost of constructing the improvements to the 1.5 acres as a park site. 3. This arrangement would reduce construction parking traffic on the street. This item has been placed on the Workshop Agenda for review and discussion. EMS /act CCO1789 -012 CITY OF AVENTURA LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM AND PRIORITIES FLO 2013 Mayor Susan Gottlieb Commissioner Enbar Cohen Commissioner Teri Holzberg Commissioner Billy Joel Commissioner Michael Stern Commissioner Howard Weinberg Commissioner Luz Urbaez Weinberg City Manager Eric M. Soroka City Clerk Teresa M. Soroka City Attorney Weiss Serota Helfman Pastoriza Cole & Boniske, P.L. CITY OF AVENTURA LEGISLATIVE PROGRAMS AND PRIORITIES 2013 This document is intended to provide direction to the City Manager, City Attorney and Legislative Lobbyist as to the official City position regarding issues and pending legislation which would affect the operation of local government. This document further provides priorities for the acquisition of supplemental funding (grants) for various programs. The City of Aventura will endorse and support legislation that will: 1. Provide a dedicated revenue source for Charter School capital improvements at the same levels provided to the local school boards. 2. Increase or maintain educational funding levels for Miami -Dade County public schools. 3. Amend State law allowing a more economical method of advertising for a public hearing relating to Comprehensive Plan adoption and/ or amendments. 4. Adopt the 2013 Policy Statement of the Florida League of Cities. 5. Enact a law that would prohibit an individual from writing, sending or receiving text messages while operating a motor vehicle. 6. Enact a law enabling cities to prohibit smoking at city sponsored events or activities and/ or at city parks and facilities. 7. On a state -wide level, ban the use of handheld phones by persons operating motor vehicles, but allowing hands free phone devices. 8. Provide a dedicated revenue source to cities that are located within 1 mile of a facility that houses legalized gambling to offset police and road impact costs to the community. 9. Preserve municipal authority for red light camera safety programs. 10. Amend Safe Harbor provisions (Fla. Stat. 718.116(1)(b) condos and 720.3085(2)(c) HOAs) to increase the liability of qualified lending institutions to the lesser of twenty four months of past due assessments or two percent of the original mortgage in the event of a foreclosure. Eric M. Soroka From: Howard S. Weinberg <howard @howardweinberg.com> Sent: Monday, December 10, 2012 11:33 PM To: Eric M. Soroka Subject: RE: Legislative Program and Priorities As a City in which virtually every resident lives in a condominium, we should proactively support and encourage legislation that offers relief to financially challenged community associations (and likewise vehemently oppose any legislation that does the opposite). The current Safe Harbor provision (Fla Stat. 718.116(1)(b)) is exacerbating hardships for community associations vis a vis foreclosures. Often taking two or three years to take back a unit, banks are only required to pay the lesser of twelve months of past due assessments or one percent of the original mortgage. Thus, the remaining unit owners in the association are unfairly left to fund the resulting shortage. The law is hurting our constituents, they deserve relief and we should advocate on their behalf in the 2013 Legislative Session. Certainly an increase in the Safe Harbor limitation to the lesser of twenty four months of past due assessments /two percent of the original mortgage is warranted. From: Eric M.
