Status Report - Interlocal Agreement between the City and Metro-
Dade County
This report was prepared to provide a briefing to the City Council relative to the
Interlocal Agreement negotiations between the City and Metro-Dade County staff. Our
last meeting was held on July 12, 1996. The City was represented by Richard Weiss,
City Attomey, Harry Kilgore, Director of Finance Support Services and myself. I am
pleased to advise that a great deal of progress was made at the meeting and only two
issues remain unresolved. Based on the results of the meeting the City Attomey is
preparing a draft of the Agreement so that we may continue to expedite this matter.
The major points of the Agreement are as follows:
A. Current Fiscal Year (November 7~ 1995 to September 30~ 1996)
· The City continues to receive same level of County Services (Public Works, Police,
Code Enforcement, etc.)
· The City is not required to pay back the $900,000 loan against utility tax revenues.
· The City has requested additional police staffing. County staff will discuss with
Police Department.
· The County will continue to provide garbage collection and recycling services to the
single family area west of Biscayne Boulevard.
· The County will continue to administer storm water utility services. In conjunction
with Commissioner Margolis, we have requested a drainage improvement project
priority list that would be funded from County collected storm water utility fees from
City residents.
· The five acre park dedicated to the County on behalf of Hidden Bay and others will
be transferred to the City.
· We have requested that any development agreement requiring impact fees be
reviewed to determine the feasibility of the City obtai.ning the funds. The Aventura
Lakes project is being reevaluated in light of park impact fee requirements.
· Building and zoning services will be provided as outlined in the previously approved
interlocal agreement which will be incorporated into this agreement.

B. Transition Period (October 1~ 1996 to September 307 1997)
, The following services and costs will be available for next fiscal year:
Services Requested
Monthly Charges
Police Current Manning Level $216,000
Cost of additional personnel $ 7,200

Storm Water Utility

Building & Zoning
Code Enfomement
$ 0 (fee based)
$o
Solid Waste
$ 349/year/unit

Public Works $ 5,500
The intedocal agreement needs to contain an assumption of services provision,
whereby the City may assume certain services during the transition pedod. The City
plans on providing some of the services dudng the 1996/97 fiscal year on a phased
basis.
· An inquiry was made regarding the procedure to be utilized to obtain court fine
revenues effective October 1, 1996.
· We informed the County that the City intends to establish its own storm water utility
and opt out of the County's program sometime next year.
· We informed the County that the City intends to award its own garbage collection
franchise to the private sector and opt out of the County's services. The County
agreed to prorate the yearly fee for single family units and to refund the unused
portion to the individual homeowners.
C. Unresolved issues
· We requested FPL franchise fee revenues back to the date of incorporation and
thereafter. The County staff indicated that this is a political policy issue and could
not respond to our request.
· We requested $1,000,000 in County revenues to be transmitted to the City for parks
and recreation in the City. The issue was raised due to the lack of open space/park
land available in the City. The County will review the request and respond at our
next meeting.
