John Szerlag, City Manager <br /> FROM: Doug Haag, Assistant City Manager - Finance U"ICk. <br /> DATE: February 15, 2007 <br /> RE: SECOND INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT WITH MIAMI-DADE COUNTY <br /> RE: FPL FRANCHISE FEES <br /> RECOMIMENDATION: <br /> This resolution is presented for your consideration and approval of the attached Interlocal <br /> Agreement addendum with Miami-Dade County. <br /> BACKGROUND: <br /> The attached agreement represents resolution of a dispute between several area cities and Miami- <br /> Dade County. In 2002, when the county issued the FPL franchise fee payment to the cities for <br /> FY 2001-02, the amounts were reduced compared to the prior year despite tremendous growth in <br /> the incorporated cities involved. It was subsequently determined that the County budget officials <br /> unilaterally decreased the amounts based on their review of the methodology used by the County <br /> to calculate payments of the franchise fees to the cities. After several unsuccessful meetings <br /> with the County to resolve the issue, the cities of Key Biscayne, Miami Lakes, Pinecrest, <br /> Aventura and Sunny Isles Beach retained the firm of Public Resources Management Group, Inc. <br /> to audit the methodology used by the County. <br /> The report issued in 2005 revealed that the County methodology was in error and not in <br /> compliance with the interlocal agreements in place at that time. The Interlocal Agreement you <br /> have before you represents the final settlement of this issue. <br /> The agreement includes a) the County agreeing to reimburse each city over a three year period <br /> for the difference in the disputed franchise free calculations in the past. This will result in annual <br /> payments to the City of Sunny Isles Beach in the amount of$260,962 for a total of$782,886 for <br /> the next three years, and b) a new methodology to calculate the franchise fees to the satisfaction <br /> Agenda Item ' 0 <br /> Date 2—IS—o7 <br />
