Good evening.

This meeting is being streamed live at Miramar FL.gov slash commission meeting and televised on Comcast Channel Seventy Six and A TNT Channel Nine and Nine for all Uverse Channel Nine and Nine Subscribers.

The meeting of the Miramar City Commission workshop is now called to order.

We'll discuss the issue why we are here.

Then Mr.

Sean Hennessy will have a brief overview of the cost flow and reimbursement, followed by the termination context.

As well, he'll give an overview of facility facts.

We'll then move into city staff office, followed by the Miramar Innovation Center, and then next steps, and we're hopeful to have an open and fruitful discussion.

So with that, I'll begin to kind of paint the picture as of hard as why we are here.

The last commission meeting, October 15th, the City Commission and Brow College executed a sublease termination agreement, which pretty much uh with that document, it assumed the full possession of the second floor within the library of bringing it back to the city of Miramar.

So the purpose of this workshop is to go over conceptual design, conceptual plans and to have a brief overall discussion as far as a reprogramming of the space within the second floor.

As uh administration, we've realized some critical needs for this space, and we're just hoping to have an open dialogue.

At this time, I have Mr.

A brief overview of the cost flow and how things get paid.

Good evening, Mayor, Vice Mayor, Commissioners, Mr.

Manager, City Attorney, City Clerk, City Staff.

My name is Sean Hennessy.

I work alongside DeBon Campbell out of the office of the city manager.

As you've heard tonight, I'd like to go over the cost flow and reimbursement process in three easy steps.

The county invoices the city of Miramar under the Master Lease.

We, the City of Miramar, pay the county to come to maintain compliance with the master lease, sublease section nine.

And then we invoice Broward College and Nova Southeastern University for their prorated shares, which include parking, maintenance, and insurance.

As we all know, we executed the sublease termination agreement last commission meeting, and this ends Browers College's leasehold rights and extinguishes all future reimbursement obligations.

The city is now fully responsible for the financial cost of the second floor moving forward.

On your screen, you have a floor plan of the second floor with the square foot for each respected space.

The area boasts an approximately 21,100 square foot of space with a configuration of mixed classrooms, offices, and meeting rooms.

Picture to your right, we have the existing build out.

Again, approximately 10 to 12 enclosed offices and administrative spaces, six large classrooms as seen in the last slide, four training areas that are reconfigurable and common hallways and lounge.

As far as access to the building, it is shared.

We share an elevator and a stairwell with the library.

And as far as parking is concerned, there are 160 on-site surface lot spaces during non-peak library hours.

And over at the Miramar Town Center Garage, there are additional 190 spaces reserved for that second floor space.

With that, I'd like to say thank you and return it over to Mr.

Campbell.

Thank you, Mr.

Hennessy, for your overview.

And that also includes our city staff.

City administration has identified key critical areas as it relates to adequate of providing adequate office space for our staff.

As you can see from the pictures above, you'll see a park and recreation office with some storage.

And next to that picture, you'll see a stairwell that has temporary storage.

These stairwells are common throughout the city here in town center.

And again, it's a critical need that we see throughout town center.

We are proposing to move a few departments into the newly unoccupied space.

We have identified a few departments such as EDH marketing and support services in the initial phase to relocate into the space.

From staff productivity to improving collaboration among staff and more importantly to boost morale.

The next picture is a group of parks and recreational staff.

Just to highlight some other critical needs.

Right now we have areas such as uh utilities, um EDH staff, and even city city managers office staff within the uh building department area.

So again, relieving of this space and having these departments move into move into the second floor would would greatly benefit the city.

This next slide shows a rendering of what this space could look like.

We have some small cubicle areas, and this is in some of the classrooms on the second floor, as you can see, there's desks and chairs and things of that nature um within the within the empty classrooms, and we could reconfigure uh this area.

We do like the fact that it's moving ready, and we would keep the budget uh very small as it relates to this activity.

In addition, we're also proposing the Miramar Innovation Center uh being in the second floor as well, and what better space can this be in?

You know, the library on the first floor, the third floor having access to NSU, we think it will be a prime location to uplift um the and having a pipeline of self-sustaining local businesses and entrepreneurs uh within the library.

This next slide will end this will illustrate a floor plan of uh what was the original uh thought process of the Miramar Innovation Center of 900 square feet, being that we could now double in that size to accommodate a much larger and better space for the incubator.

The next steps would be to finalize a Miramar Innovation Center, develop concept renderings and programming, and also to do a full security assessment.

Uh, we initially had some our IT staff go out there and walk the facility and kind of determine what's needed.

We've been in some discussions with our vendors, um, but the next step would be to get full budgeting and timeline in order.

And at this time, I turn it over to you, Mr.

Mayor.
