Re: Developer's Dedication of Two (2) Acre Site to City of Aventura
Dear Mr. Brown:
This is in response to your letter of July 3, 2001, in which you presented the objection of the
School Board to the proposed conveyance by a developer of a two (2) acre parcel (the "Site") to
the City (the "City").
Needless to say, the City is both surprised and dismayed by the School Board's objection. As
you know, the School Board was not involved in procuring this dedication for school purposes,
and the sole reason for the dedication was that the City recognized that the City's grant of a
vested rights agreement to the developer created an excellent opportunity for the City to obtain
lands for use as a potential primary leaming center (the "PLC") at the site. Although the City
Commission has not, as yet, made a decision on whether or not to build a PLC at the Site, the
fact of the matter is that if the City decides that a PLC is an appropriate use for that Site, it is
envisioned that the City would provide for such PLC as a component of the City's charter school
approach, rather than requesting the School Board to construct a school at that site.
If you have any remaining concems, the City is willing to discuss this matter with you and
appropriate representatives of the School Board.

Re: Vested Rights Determination Agreement dated December 15, 1999, as Amended
Dedication of 2 Acres of the Atlas Terminal Site to the Miami-Dade County School
Board
Dear Mr. Soroka:
This letter is written on behalf of the Miami-Dade County Public Schools' administrative
staff concerning the subject Vested Rights Determination Agreement, as Amended.
Please be advised that this letter is submitted in order to reserve any and all rights and
privileges the Miami-Dade County Public Schools may have relative to the dedication of
a 2-acre tract of land pursuant to the above referenced Vested Rights Determination
Agreement. Under the Dedication portion of the Vested Rights Determination Agreement,
as Amended, the 2-acre tract was supposed to have been conveyed to the School Board
by March 15, 2001, but was not. The Vested Rights Determination Agreement has been
administratively amended in two ways: first, the conveyance date was extended to July 15,
2001, and secondly, conveyance is to be made to the City of Aventura instead of the
Miami-Dade County Public Schools. Under the original agreement, the property could only
be dedicated to the City of Aventura for public purposes in the event the School Board
declines the dedication. Please be advised that neither the Miami-Dade County Public
Schools administration, nor the School Board, has declined acceptance of this dedication
and hereby reaffirms any right to receive the same.
It has come to the attention of the Miami-Dade County Public Schools staff that at the City
of Aventura's meeting of July 3, 2001 (6:00p.m.), the City proposes to approve a resolution
selecting Charter Schools USA to design, build, operate and maintain a charter elementary
school and a PLC, with the PLC likely to be placed on the 2-acre tract that was designated
to be conveyed to the School Board, and upon which the School Board has come to rely.
Please be advised that this letter is submitted as the Miami-Dade County Public Schools
administration's objection to any action taken by the City that is likely to prevent the school
district from receiving rightful dedication of the 2-acre tract, inclusive of action to adopt any
Mr. Eric M. Soroka

resolutions accepting conveyance of title as well as authorizing the construction of any
school on the property by the City.
Please be further advised that this letter is submitted for purposes of being included in the
minutes of the Commission meeting of July 3, 2001 - 6:00 p.m., particularly in connection
with item 6F of the advertised agenda.

TO: Eric M. Soroka, City Manager
fROM: Arthur Berger, Commissioner
DATE: June 20, 2001
SUBJECT: Intergenerational programs
I would like to suggest the following two
programs for the City Commission to consider and
the intergenerational computer training program:
intergenerationa1
approve as it did
Intergenerationa1 chorus
Intergenerational orchestra
Approximately 20 adults and students will be sought for the chorus
and 18 musicians for the orchestra. A volunteer choral director
and volunteer orchestra leader have been found as have some
volunteers for chorus and orchestra but more are needed.
The Sterling has agreed to provide space for rehearsals free of
charge. This will suffice until the Community Recreation Center is
constructed.
Since the Sterling has also agreed to provide a piano, some of the
volunteer chorus have music scores and I expect musicians to
supply their own instruments, at present I do not see any costs to
the City of Aventura. All that might be required in the future
would be advertising for more volunteers and programming for City
and other events.
