Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission
FROM:
Eric Carpenter, City Manager
DATE:

TITLE:
A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, ACCEPTING THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE FINANCE AND ECONOMIC RESILIENCY COMMITTEE, AT ITS OCTOBER 18, 2024 MEETING, TO INSTALL A CHILDREN‘S PLAY AREA ON THE WEST SIDE OF PRIDE PARK.

RECOMMENDATION

The Administration recommends accepting the recommendation of the Finance and Economic Resiliency Committee to install a children’s play area on the west side of Pride Park.

BACKGROUND/HISTORY

During the September 11, 2024 Commission meeting, Commissioner Kristen Rosen Gonzalez referred a discussion item on installing playground equipment for children in Pride Park to the Finance and Economic Resiliency Committee (FERC), and the Public Safety and Neighborhood Quality of Life Committee (PSNQLC).

The item was heard at the October 18, 2024 Finance and Economic Resiliency meeting and received a favorable recommendation for the Administration to bring to the full Commission an item to install a simplified playground on the west side of Pride Park.

Given the favorable recommendation from FERC, the item was withdrawn from the PSNQLC agenda.

ANALYSIS

City staff has worked with the Sponsor, the Palmview Community, and play area equipment vendors in identifying a scope of work which meets the needs of the residents, fits the space available, and is aesthetically pleasing, while reducing the overall budget from the originally estimated $1.2 million to $400,000 including contingencies. Renderings attached (Exhibit C)

FISCAL IMPACT STATEMENT

The fiscal impact to construct a play area at Pride Park will be $400,000 including contingencies.

Does this Ordinance require a Business Impact Estimate? (FOR ORDINANCES ONLY)
