A Resolution of the City Commission of the City of Sunny Isles Beach, Florida, Approving a <br />Lease Agreement/Airspace Agreement ("Lease Agreement") with the Florida <br />Department of Transportation (FDOT) for Parking Space Located Under the Lehman <br />Causeway Bridge; Authorizing the Mayor to Execute Said Lease Agreement in <br />Substantially the Same Form; Providing the City Manager and the City Attorney with the <br />Authority to Do All Things Necessary to Effectuate this Resolution; Providing for an <br />Effective Date. <br /> <br />Action: [City Clerk's Note: A revised Addendum to FDOT Lease Agreement was distributed <br />prior to the meeting.) City Clerk Hines read the title, and City Attorney Ottinot reported that <br />FDOT has leased to the City the parking areas under the Lehman Causeway for a number of <br />years. This is a renewal of that contract, and additionally this year, FDOT has agreed to <br />allow the City to build a basketball court within the parking area, and have approved the <br />plans for the basketball court. The agreement is basically the same with one major <br />exception, the State of Florida is looking for revenues and this year they have requested that <br />we have a split of revenues from the parking area, they have a 60/40 split on gross revenues. <br />The former City Manager and he had objected to it, and had met with them in the past and <br />indicated to them that a net revenue split would be the appropriate split. This approval <br />would allow Acting City Manager Vera and himselfto continue to negotiate with FDOT, and <br />also it would allow the construction of a basketball court and that is the reason for bringing <br />this agreement. Until we finalize the revenue split, we will not have a lease to execute but <br />the Commission can approve it in concept. <br /> <br />Commissioner Scholl asked how much revenue we are negotiating over and what is your <br />position, and Acting City Manager Vera said we are averaging about $30,000 to $40,000 a <br />year under the Lehman Causeway, and City Attorney Ottinot said our position is that it <br />should be 60/40 but based on net. Commissioner Scholl asked how he calculated net, and <br />City Attorney Ottinot said on our expense, subtracting our expense from the gross revenues, <br /> <br />5 <br />
