TITLE RESOLUTION APPROVING SIGNIFICANT MODIFICATION OF BUILDING BETTER COMMUNITIES GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND PROGRAM PROJECT NO. 212 � �UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI (UM)/JACKSON MEMORIAL HOSPITAL (JMH) CENTER OF EXCELLENCE FOR HEARING AND COMMUNICATION DISORDERS'' TO APPENDIX A TO RESOLUTION NO. R-916-04, AFTER A PUBLIC HEARING BODY WHEREAS, pursuant to Resolution No. R-916-04 (the ''Healthcare Facilities Resolution''), the voters of Miami-Dade County approved the issuance of general obligation bonds in a principal amount not to exceed $171,281,000 to construct and improve emergency healthcare facilities at Jackson Memorial Hospital and Jackson South to promote accessibility to quality healthcare services; and WHEREAS, Appendix A to the Healthcare Facilities Resolution lists projects eligible for funding from the Building Better Communities General Obligation Bond (''BBC GOB'') Program by project number, municipal project location, BCC district, project name, project description, street address and allocation; and WHEREAS, one of the projects listed in Appendix A to the Healthcare Facilities Resolution is BBC GOB Program Project No. 212- ''University of Miami (UM)/Jackson Memorial Hospital (JMH) Center Of Excellence For Hearing And Communication Disorders'' with an allocation of $5,000,000 and a project description that reads ''Provide twenty-percent funding match to acquire, construct, equip, rehabilitate and enhance the University of Miami (UM)/Jackson Memorial Hospital (JMH) Center of Excellence for the Diagnosis of Communication Disorders''; and WHEREAS, thus, because the project description for BBC GOB Program Project No. 212 currently contemplates that the County will only provide a funding match that totals 20% of the total project cost, in order to be reimbursed the full $5,000,000 Project No. 212 allocation, the Center of Excellence for the Diagnosis of Communication Disorders (''Center'') would need to cost $25,000,000; and WHEREAS, originally, the University of Miami (''UM'') planned to develop and construct a stand-alone building and offices to house the Center, and this would have made the project much more costly and likely eligible for the full $5,000,000 reimbursement; and WHEREAS, instead, UM developed the Center as part of a building that will house various other offices and programs in addition to the space dedicated to the Center, and the Center will share the building�s parking garage with all of the other tenants; and WHEREAS, UM�s current development of the Center is therefore significantly less costly than its original development plan for the Center and is estimated to cost, once completed, approximately $13,000,000; and WHEREAS, as a consequence, with a project description that only allows for a 20% funding match from the County, UM will, in all likelihood, never be eligible to receive Project No. 212�s full funding allocation of $5,000,000 for the development of the Center; and WHEREAS, this Board desires, and it would be in the best interest of the County, to amend the project description for BBC GOB Program Project No. 212 in order to remove the twenty percent funding match requirement, NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA, that: Section 1. All of the foregoing recital clauses are incorporated herein by referenced and adopted by this Board. Section 2. This Board, after a public hearing, hereby approves a significant modification of BBC GOB Program Project No. 212 � University of Miami (UM)/Jackson Memorial Hospital (JMH) Center Of Excellence For Hearing And Communication Disorders'' from Appendix A to the Healthcare Facilities Resolution in order to revise the project description to read as follows: ''BBC GOB Program funding will complement other funding in order to acquire, construct, equip, rehabilitate and enhance the University of Miami (UM)/Jackson Memorial Hospital (JMH) Center of Excellence for the Diagnosis of Communication Disorders.'' |
