Committee approves two facility agreements: Little Havana center lease and temporary extension for MDPL at Oceanfront Auditorium
The committee voted on two linked lease items.

First, the committee approved a proposed five‑year lease (with a city‑discretion renewal option) between the City of Miami Beach and Little Havana Activities & Nutrition Centers of Miami‑Dade County for about 2,690 square feet of ground‑floor city property at Jameston Playground (8336 Street). Financial terms described a minimal base rent plus payment of operating/common‑area expenses (currently about $1,900 per month) and a city convenience termination clause.

Second, the committee approved a six‑month extension of the existing management agreement with the Miami Design Preservation League (MDPL) for the Miami Beach Oceanfront Auditorium (Maya Beach Auditorium) while staff completes additional discussions and either negotiates a new management agreement or proceeds to a formal procurement process. Staff requested six months to allow procurement timelines to be completed if needed; the extension includes a 30‑day city termination right.

Both items passed in committee. For the auditorium, staff said they will return with a longer‑term disposition — either a negotiated agreement or a request for proposals — and commissioners asked that the matter be scheduled promptly so operators and staff are not left uncertain about future management.
