On September 10, 2003 the City of Mayor and City Commission authorized the execution of a management agreement with Manager for the Miami Beach Golf Club, with a term of three (3) years, effective October 1, 2003, and expiring on September 30, 2006, with two (2) one year renewal terms.
On September 5, 2007, the Mayor and City Commission agreed to waive the competitive bidding process, finding such waiver to be in the best interest of the City, and approved a new management agreement with Manger which commenced on October 1, 2007, and expired September 30, 2012.
At its July 10, 2012 meeting, the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee discussed the management of the City’s golf courses with the members; discussion focusing on the success that Manager had operating the golf courses since the initiation of the first full-service management agreement was implemented in 2003.
At the conclusion of the discussion the Committee recommended that Manager’s Agreement be extended on a month to month basis; that the Administration meet with Manager to negotiate terms of a new agreement; that City staff provide more detailed information on the cost of other golf course management companies and how the golf courses are maintained; and that the results of negotiations and staff’s report be brought back to the Committee for further direction.
On April 17, 2013, the City Commission adopted Resolution No 2013-28186, accepting the recommendation of the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee (made at its December 20, 2012 meeting) to waive the competitive bidding process for a new management agreement for the management and operation of the City’ Golf Courses, finding such waiver to be in the best interest of the City, and authorized the City Manager to finalize and execute a new management agreement with Manager.
