Dannheimr, Cip� Attorney Jane Hines, Acting City Clerk APPROVAL OF FDOT LEASE AGREEMENT FOR AREA UNDER SUNNY ISLES BOULEVARD BRIDGE RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Commission approve the attached resolution entering into a lease agreement with the Florida Department of Transportation ( "FDOT ") for use of the right -of -way under the Sunny Isles Boulevard Causeway Bridge. REASONS The City is need of additional parking space to be utilized, mostly, by the various construction personnel who are working on the hi -rise complexes in the area. Currently, we have a very limited amount of space, and obtainment of this area would increase our available space tremendously. FDOT has agreed to lease the right -of -way directly under the Sunny Isles Boulevard Causeway Bridge to the City at a cost of one dollar (S 1.00) per year, for a five -year period. There is also an option to renew, should both parties desire. This agreement is beneficial to the City, both in cost and length of time. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Entering into this agreement, which is similar to the one for the area under the William Lehman Causeway, will allow the City to control the parking along the FDOT right -of -way. It will also provide the City with the authority to collect monies for its use (parking), which will help offset the cost for litter and trash removal by the City.
