Dear Mayor Gottlieb:
As you know, Miami -Dade County Public Schools Superintendent, Alberto M. Carvalho and I hosted
our second Joint Roundtable on Youth Safety meeting on March 8, 2013 where we shared the
recommendations for short and long -term action steps developed by the Roundtable's Working
Groups. Since that time, we have begun to implement the steps laid out in the Roundtable's
Community Action Plan (http: / /www miamidade gov /mayor /library /roundtable- action -plan.pdf).
As we shared on March 81h, to be successful, we will need continued leadership and collaboration
from each municipality in order to effectively address the violence that Miami - Dade's youth often
face. On April 2, 2013, the Board of County Commissioners passed Resolution No. R- 264 -13 (see
attached), a pledge to take the necessary steps to improve the safety of our youth, and thereby
enhance the quality of life for all the residents of Miami -Dade County. It is my sincere hope that you
will consider putting forth a similar resolution before your governing board.
If you need additional information, please contact Lisa M. Martinez, Senior Advisor, at 305 -375 -2911,

Sincerely,

Upon reflecting on the recent tragedies that have affected our entire nation, I shared at the

The Joint Roundtable on Youth Safetywas established to unite mayors and police chiefs from all 34
Municipalities, as well as community stakeholders, in order to discuss the most effective means of
safeguarding our children. Through guided discussions led by four targeted Working Groups, the

Community Action Plan
Purpose
Over the years, senseless acts of violence have affected our entire nation. The recent
tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut, horrified parents across the world, as mindless
violence made its way directly into the heart of a place that had long been considered
safe space for our children — an elementary school that could have been any
elementary school across the country. Fear quickly steered the national conversations
towards demands for action. The question, however, rests in determining what types of
action will protect all children while also bolstering preventive measures on and off
school campuses.
In establishing the Joint Roundtable on Youth Safety, Mayor Carlos: A. Gimenez and,
Superintendent Alberto M. Carvalho have joined community leaders across the County
to declare with deliberate action and a unified voice that enough is enough. ( xJVbit
9 — Op -Ed Articles). The violence that regularly faces Miami- Dade's youth in their own
neighborhoods _ _requires that we, as a united community, each e t_ek� 1,p0W a _.
responsibility for protecting our children. The answers do not lie in quick fixes or one -

immediately.
Structure and Timeline
The first Joint Roundtable on Youth Safety was held on January 18, 2013, at 2:00 p.m.,
at the Vizcaya Museum & Gardens Village Garage (See Exhibit 2 — First. Roundtable
Invitation). At the first Roundtable, Miami -Dade County (MDC) Mayor Carlos A.
Gimenez and Miami -Dade County Public Schools (M -DCPS) Superintendent Alberto M.
Carvalho brought together mayors and police chiefs from all 34 municipalities to begin
discussing the most effective means to safeguard our children.
The discussion was guided by the following questions:
• What do we currently do to ensure that our children are safe at our schools? At
our parks? In our neighborhoods? Are there strategies that we are not currently
utilizing that should be explored? Are there policies that hinder these efforts?
�v

• How do we currently support our most vulnerable youth? How are their needs
assessed? How are services delivered? How is success determined? Are there
gaps in this process that need to be reviewed?
• Are there current initiatives/community -based groups working together to
address youth safety? Why and how were they created? How is success
determined? Is there duplication of efforts? Can coordination across the County
be improved? How can the impact of these efforts be maximized?
At this first meeting, all attendees were invited to participate in working groups that
would delve into answering the guiding questions and formulating recommendations
that would make our schools, parks, and neighborhoods safer (See Exhibit 3 — Working
Group Participation Form). Each working group was chaired by at least one
representative from MDC and one representative from M -DCPS. The co- chairs reached
out to all municipalities and over 140 community organizations to participate in this
process.
The objective of these working group meetings was to share successful. practices,
- - discuss current challenges, and define helpful recommendations for short and _lohg -term
solutions. The four working groups each met four times between F- ebruary.:.1t anj
L February 261' to develop recommendations to present as part of the .comprehensive.
Community Action Plan at the second Roundtable.

o How can we engage our current initiatives /community -based groups and
our residents to work together to address youth safety? Can coordination
across the County be improved? How can the impact of these efforts be
maximized? How can we share information as effectively as possible?
At each -of the working group meetings, co- chairs provided all participants with an
opportunity to share their ideas. Aill ideas were then prioritized and: ranked by the
groups, from which each group completed an action chart to address tangible steps that .
-would need to be taken to implement the proposed recommendations
Recommendations
As a restiWof the'collective work of the participants in the aforementioned work;groups,
recommendations Were vetted and ranked: '. Those that were deemed feasible;= and,
determined to have the greatest impact are reflected in the ,point Roundtable on Youth
Safety Recommendation Action Chart (Action Chart).
The Action Chart will serve as the roadmap to guide the work of the Roundtable and
can be found on pages 7 — 35 of this report.
Pledge of Commitment and Resolution
Working Group members who expressed an interest in participating as stakeholders
within this process were asked to sign a Pledge of Commitment (See Exhibit 5)
affirming their organization's continued involvement in this vitally important partnership
and support for improving youth safety in Miami -Dade County. Although all efforts were
made to cast a wide net for participation, it is our intent to keep this an open -ended
process. As such, organizations or municipalities that elect to get involved after the
initial work has started are welcome to join the effort.
Municipalities that took part in the working groups will be asked to put forth a resolution
before their governing boards to reaffirm their municipalities' continued involvement and
support for improving youth safety. The draft resolution that MDC will present to the
/0/1-
6
Board of County Commissioners for consideration during their first meeting in April 2013
can also be found in Exhibit 6.
Moving Forward
Safeguarding the youth in our community is a long -term process that must be revisited
regularly for comprehensive updates and concrete actions.
The long -term success of the Roundtable's efforts to address this important issue will
depend on true community -wide buy -in, with each and every resident taking personal
responsibility for the safety and well -being of our young people. Efforts to further
engage the community will be implemented as noted in the Community Education and
Empowerment Working Group's recommendations.
Moving forward on implementation steps for the Action Plan will begin immediately. It is
our shared belief that the work of the Roundtable is just the first step in a collaborative,
long -term process that will lead to the improved safety and enhanced quality of life for
all of the e is en - tame -4)ade County

Protecting our children from gun violence
BY ALBERTO CARVALHO AND CARLOS GIMENEZ
Superintendent 'sOfficeO- dadeschools.net
NISSA BENJAMIN / MIAMI HERALD STAFF
Our country is at a crossroads, one where we must stop and refocus on what is
important. Last week twenty beautiful little angels and six dedicated educators were
taken in a senseless random act of violence in Newtown, Conn. Since then our nation
has struggled for answers as to how such a tragedy could happen. This tragedy has
touched every American, every parent, every child in a manner that is difficult to
describe.
In terms of the safety and preparedness of our schools, Miami -Dade County Public
Schools is preprd f 4ny emergency; however, a random act of violence is not
predictable, particularly when perpetrated by an unstable individual. As a result,
constant vigilance and preparedness are key to the security of our schools.
Oo -Ed Articles
M -DCPS is f0tunate to have its own full - service police department, one of few in the
state, and a full complement of security monitors at every school. Even though every
school has a site - speck emergency plan, all security protocols are being reviewed,
including municipal first responder collaboration. Currently, the Schools Police
Department has mutual aid agreements with all 32 local and state law enforcement
agencies which service our community, ensuring that maximum resources are
available in the event of any emergency.
The safety of our children is a concern and a responsibility which extends beyond just
the school system. It extends beyond our courageous men and women of law
enforcement; it is a shared responsibility.
That is why as superintendent of schools and Miami -Dade County mayor we are
committed to coming to the table to evaluate how we, along with the county and other
municipalities, can work together to create an envelope of safety around our schools.
Therefore in the coming weeks we will be inviting all of the chiefs of our community's
police agencies to review current safety protocols and develop recommendations for
improvements.
Similarly, we are working to bring together mental healthcare professionals and those
who provide social support services to identify opportunities for early interventions for
at -risk and troubled youth. These meetings will then be followed up by a convening of
mayors and other elected officials so that we may collectively identify resources and
assets necessary to protect our schools and provide support to our youth. It is our
intent that this work will yield specific recommendations and agreements which will
qq
ki-I
be announced by February.
M -DCPS will also be providing planned critical safety and security infrastructure
upgrades at schools in the immediate future as a result of the funds made available
by the passage of the $1.2 billion bond referendum this past November.
Examples of planned improvements include: perimeter fencing and campus access
control, fire and security alarm replacement and upgrades, public address system
replacement and upgrades, additional surveillance cameras, and emergency lighting
system upgrades. Those who continue to advocate the dilution of capital outlay
funds, particularly into non- public entities, must consider the implications on the
safety conditions at our publicly owned school facilities. We can and we will continue
to fortify our schools and improve our safety and security protocols because the lives
of our students and staff remain a paramount priority.
Our nation has seen far too many tragedies like Newtown. Each time the horrible
tragedy is met with an outpouring of emotion and a subsequent knee-jerk reaction
from pundits_.and poliaos albeit raTply -, ith,any long term results.
The recurring fajiure is- Mat1the moiibA 1, read tigin tath'e heinQU,s act never truly _'

shared duty of us alt. tt must begin with an honest national conversation about our
values and:our,prierities,at the very highest, levels of our government, in our - houses
of worship, in town sgmares and around oi;r dinner tables. As Americans, as public
officials, as fathers, ;our hearts broke on December 14 when those 20 little angels and
sic educators lost their lives, just as our hearts ache each and every time one of our
own students loses their life as the result of a foolish decision or violent act.
Through collaborative partnerships, responsible resource allocation, the availability of
mental health and counseling services, and regular emergency response training we
must create a safe environment in and around our schools and our students. This is
an imperative of the highest order which can no longer be ignored or postponed.
There can be no higher priority than the lives of our children.
Alberto Carvalho is superintendent of Miami -Dade County Schools. Carlos Gimenez
is mayor of Miami -Dade County.

A holistic approach to gun violence in Miami -Dade
BY CARLOS GIMENEZ AND ALBERTO CARVALHO
miamidade.gov/mayo
BENJAMIN ! MIAMI HERALD STAFF
Elected leaders and law- enforcement officials from across Miami -Dade County
convened a Joint Roundtable on Youth Safety last week, assembled in the wake of
several recent tragedies involving guns and child victims, both nationally and locally.
Among these were the senseless shootings of Miami teenagers Bryan Herrera and
Aaron Willis, bright young students guilty of nothing more that riding their bikes when
shot without reason or provocation.
Our aim is to ensure that this community does everything possible to protect our most
precious asset — young people like Bryan and Aaron — not only in their classrooms
but also in their neighborhoods and local parks. These places should be safe havens
for our children. Following the heinous acts of a few, we must redouble our efforts to
fortify-our community's public spaces; because no parant should ever have to
second -guess their decision to let their child bike'to a friend's house, walk home from
school, or play ball at the local park.
The first roundtable meeting,included a frank exchange of ideas among the
participants, with many stating that our overriding focus must be on safeguarding our
schools. While school safety remains vital, statistics tell us that our schools are
generally safe and that tragedies like the one at Sandy Hook Elementary are the
exception, not the rule. In Miami -Dade County's public schools, more than 40
students' lives were cut short by violent acts in the last four and a half years; only one
of those was on school grounds.
So, while we will continue to improve school safety, we must also take a holistic,
community -wide approach to our mission. In the coming weeks, the Youth Safety
Roundtable will bring together four distinct working groups to assess what we are
doing right to keep our kids safe in and out of the classroom; identify those areas
where we are coming up short; and chart a clear path forward. That path must
include a common -sense approach to gun control and gun responsibility.
The working groups will include diverse local stakeholders: community leaders,
educators, law- enforcement officials, mental - health specialists, social - service
professionals, and faith -based leaders. The broad perspectives and expertise these
parties bring to the table will help us answer the tough questions that recent tragedies
have forced all of us to ask ourselves.
qm
aml
What are we currently doing to safeguard our children at our schools, at our parks,
and in our neighborhoods?
How can we improve?
Are we giving our most vulnerable youths proper support?
And how can we engage the broader community in this effort?
The answers to these questions and others will form the guidelines for safeguarding
our young for the long term -- a working document that we will revisit regularly for
comprehensive updates and concrete actions. The Joint Roundtable on Youth Safety
will not be truly effective if it only remains a priority for a few months. Our children
deserve better from us; we must be vigilant and keep this issue -squarely in the
forefront for years to come. While the memories of recent tragedies may fade with
time, the possibility of future tragedies will not.
Ultimate] , the success of our efforts to address this oommunity -'Wide issue will take
true cbOVnunity -wide buyHn, with each and everyresident f "errsona@-

[ADDRESS BLOCK]
[Honorable / Chief] :
AMERTOM CARVALM
SUPERINTENDENT
42
On behalf of Miami -Dade County Public Schools and Miami -Dade County, we invite you to
participate in a Joint Roundtable on Youth Safety to be held on January 18, 2013, at 2:00 p.m.,
at the Vizcaya Museum & Gardens Village Garage, located at 3250 South Miami Avenue
(parking available at the Miami Science Museum p"
ing;[gJJ. This Roundtable will unite Mayors
and Police Chiefs within the Miami -Dade community to work together on this vital public safety
initiative.
Over the past few years, senseless acts of violence have affected our entire nation. The recent
tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut, as well as random violence against youth in our own
community demand that we, as a community, come together to address this issue.
The focus of the Roundtable will be the safety of our community's youth, not only in our schools,
but also in our parks and neighborhoods. The objective is to share successful practices, discuss
current challenges and define helpful recommendations for short and long -term solutions.
In order to efficiently and effectively address this community -wide issue, we must first come
together and share information to ensure that the strongest safety protocols are in place.
Through these discussions, we will also identify ways to leverage our collective resources,
encourage and increase community engagement, and create an envelope of safety around our
schools and our children. We look forward to working with you on this collaborative effort.
Sincerely,
Carlos A. Gimenez
Mayor
Miami -Dade County
Alberto M. Carvalho
Superintendent
Miami -Dade County Public Schools

TO: Eric M. Soroka, City Manager
FROM: t en �&Police
DATE: 20 May 2013
SUBJECT: Use of Forfeiture Funds
The Federal Equitable Sharing Agreement (FESA), Section Vlll allows for the
use of federally forfeited funds for law enforcement. Section IX, A9 of the
Federal Equitable Sharing agreement requires that the funds be expended only
upon request of the Chief of Police to the governing body of the municipality and
approval of the governing body.
I am requesting City Commission approval for the expenditure of:
K9 and equipment
$28,000
Total Expenditure Request: $28,000
Summary
K9 and related equipment — I am requesting to use up to $28,000 in Federal
Treasury funds for the purchase of the below listed equipment and expenses:
1 dual purpose K9 — Bomb and street work trained
Equipment for K9 and related K9 vehicle
Bomb course for handler
Miscellaneous related expenses
The figure quoted is high as the agency will purchase a K9 that is already trained
in both bomb work and patrol work. If we have to purchase the K9 from an out of
state vendor, then the price will be higher for related expenses such as the on
site bomb school for the handler, travel and K9 equipment. If the K9 is
purchased locally, then costs should be somewhat lower as the out of state
school will not be used.

SUBJECT: Bid No. 13- 05 -01 -2 Custodial Services for City Facilities
June 4, 2013 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item S1-'
Recommendation:
It is recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution awarding
Bid No. 13- 05 -01 -2 Custodial Services for City Facilities to the lowest responsible and
responsive bidders, Image Janitorial Services Inc. for $90,240.00 and Kelly Janitorial
Systems, Inc. for $106,200.00 for a combined base bid price of $196,440.00 per year.
This represents a $16,548 increase from our previous contract of $179,892.00 for
custodial services, which was awarded in July 2011.
Background:
In accordance with the City's Purchasing Ordinance, bids for this maintenance contract
were solicited, advertised and opened on May 1, 2013. The bid was advertised in
accordance with City purchasing regulations.
Bids were received from the following five firms:
Ecco Clean Commercial
American Facility Services, Inc.
Stockton Maintenance Group
Image Janitorial Services, Inc.
Kelly Janitorial Systems, Inc.
The bid document requested pricing for custodial services for all City facilities for an
initial two (2) year term, with the City retaining the sole right to extend the contract for
two additional two (2) year terms. The bid also required that the successful bidder use
only certified green cleaning products.
City Commission
May 29, 2013
Page Two
The Bid Documents also included the following guidelines for awarding and evaluating
the bids:
Award of Bids: The City of Aventura reserves the right to accept or reject any
and /or all Bids or parts of Bids, to waive any informality, irregularities or
technicalities, to re- advertise for Bids, or take any other actions that may be
deemed to be in the best interests of the City. The City also reserves the right to
award the Contract on a split order basis, group by group, or item by item, or
such combination as will best serve the interests of the City, unless otherwise
stated. The City also reserves the right to waive minor variations to the
specifications (interpretation of such to be made by the applicable department
personnel). Final award of Bid(s) shall be made by the City Commission.
Evaluation of Bids: The City, at its sole discretion, reserves the right to inspect
any /all BIDDER's facilities to determine their capability of meeting the
requirements for the Contract. In addition to unit pricing, the CITY will take into
consideration the BIDDER's flexibility, responsiveness, environmental
responsibility, financial position, experience, staffing, equipment, materials,
references, and past history of service to the City and /or with other units of state,
and /or local governments in Florida, or comparable private entities, when
determining award of the BID to the successful BIDDER.
Based on the foregoing criteria, American Facility Services, Inc. (the apparent low
bidder with a base bid of $198,056.16) was disqualified when staff contacted two local
municipalities that have used American Facility Services, and did not give satisfactory
recommendations.
The remaining two low bidders were Image Janitorial Services, Inc. and Kelly Janitorial
Systems, Inc. which bids were $2,794.32 apart, $199,860 and $202,654.32
respectively. Several of Image Janitorial Services, Inc. clients were contacted for
references, and all were satisfied with their level of service.
Kelly Janitorial Systems, Inc. was the City's Custodial Services contractor from 2001
through 2011 with an excellent service record during this period of time; and has since
assisted the City by providing custodial services the next business day after the prior
contractor was terminated by the City; and has provided a consistent high level of both
cleaning and customer service. Their past experience, history of service and
assistance to the City was taken into consideration in evaluating the bids, resulting in
recommending awarding this bid to the two lowest qualified responsive and responsible
bidders.

Biscayne Boulevard
The Site - The site of the proposed place of worship is a 4,153 square foot unit on the
second floor of the office /bank building at 18999 Biscayne Boulevard.
The Project - The applicant wishes to establish a synagogue in the second floor unit
with a main sanctuary containing 40 seats and a small sanctuary containing 12 seats to
be used for services and adult study, two office spaces, kitchen area and restroom. A
floor plan is attached as Exhibit #4.
Congregant access to the unit is proposed by way of existing public sidewalks on
Biscayne Boulevard, NE 187 Street, NE 191 Street, NE 190 Street and NE 29 Avenue.
Congregants approaching from the east will have continuous sidewalk access through
the Town Center Aventura plaza. The applicant will be required to install a connection
on the site to the Biscayne Boulevard sidewalk for congregants approaching from that
direction. Pedestrian access improvements include a concrete walkway connection on
the building site from Biscayne Boulevard, pedestrian crosswalk markings through the
private parking area to connect to the building site sidewalks and relocation of a stop
bar to accommodate the crossing markings, all as shown on the sketch attached as
Exhibit #5. The applicant will be required to submit detailed plans, obtain a building
permit for this work and complete the work before beginning the proposed use.
ANALYSIS
Consistency with Comprehensive Master Plan - The request is consistent with the
City of Aventura Comprehensive Plan. The subject property has a Town Center future
land use designation. Places of worship are allowed in properties with this future land
use category.
Citizen Comments - As of the date of writing of this report, the City has received no
written comments from citizens.
Community Development Department Analysis - The applicant is requesting
conditional use approval to establish a synagogue the Jaffe Building at Aventura on
Biscayne Boulevard between NE 187 Street and NE 191 Street. This property lies
within the Heavy Business (133) zoning district according to the City's Land
Development Regulations. This district regulation provides that permitted uses in the
Community Facilities (CF) District may be established in this zone if first approved as a
conditional use. Churches or synagogues and other places of worship, schools and
libraries are permitted uses in the Community Facilities (CF) District.
Staff's concerns with this proposal are that safe pedestrian access and adequate
parking facilities be provided.
SAFE PEDESTRIAN ACCESS
M
The applicant has advised that congregants will be of orthodox Jewish faith and will
therefore walk to service and study. It is therefore imperative that safe pedestrian
access be provided to the unit. There are presently sidewalks on the public streets in
the vicinity of the office building and a site sidewalk along the south side of the building.
In order to ensure safe access, the applicant will be required to install an accessible
sidewalk connection to Biscayne Boulevard through the site to the building sidewalk, to
install pedestrian crosswalk markings on the private parking area and to relocate an
existing stop bar to accommodate those markings. All improvements are to comply
with ADA standards. The applicant has agreed to construct the required improvements
and they are included as a condition of approval of this application.
II. PARKING
Although the applicant advises that most congregants will walk to service and study, the
City's Code does require provision of the parking spaces for these uses. The number
of parking spaces required is regulated by Section 31- 171(b) of the City Code, which
states that places of worship require one parking space per four seats in the largest
assembly area. The proposed 40 seats in the main sanctuary require 10 parking
spaces.
The leased premise was formerly occupied by Jaffe Eye medical office which required
14 parking spaces for its use. The new proposed use requires a lesser number of
spaces, therefore, there is a reduced impact on parking demand for the building.
Criteria
According to Section 31 -73(c) of the City's Land Development Regulations, a
Conditional Use request is evaluated using the following criteria:
1. The proposed use shall be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan.
The request is consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The synagogue is
proposed to be located on a parcel with a Town Center land use designation
through the conditional use procedures of the Code.
2. The establishment, maintenance or operation of the proposed use shall not be
detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety or general welfare.
The establishment, maintenance or operation of the proposed use will not be
detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety or general welfare.
Pedestrian access will be by way of marked crosswalks from new and existing
sidewalks and pedestrian crossings through the adjacent shopping center
parking lot. Installation of the marked crosswalks and construction of access
improvements are a condition of this approval.
4
3. The proposed use shall be consistent with the community character of the
immediate neighborhood of the proposed use.
The proposed use is consistent with the community character of the immediate
neighborhood. There are residential developments within walking distance of
the building that will benefit from the location of the use.
4. Utilities, roadway capacity, drainage and other necessary public facilities, including
police, fire and emergency services shall exist at the City's adopted levels of service
or will be available concurrent with demand as provided for in the requirement of
these LDR's.
Utilities, roadway capacity, drainage and other necessary public facilities exist at
the City's adopted levels of service or will be available concurrent with demand
as provided for in the Land Development Regulations.
5. Adequate measures exist or shall be taken to provide ingress and egress to the
proposed use in a manner that minimizes traffic congestion in the public streets.
Adequate measures exist to provide ingress and egress to the proposed use in a
manner that minimizes traffic congestion in the public streets. There are existing
accesses from the public roads, namely, Biscayne Boulevard, NE 191 Street, NE
187 Street and NE 29 Avenue that then connect to easements in the private
roadways through this site and the adjacent plaza.
6. The establishment of the conditional use shall not impede the development of
surrounding properties for uses permitted in the zoning district.
The establishment of this use will not impede the development of surrounding
properties for uses permitted in the zoning district. The site is located within an
existing two story portion of the office building.
7. The design of the proposed use shall minimize adverse effects, including visual
impacts of the proposed use on adjacent property through the use of building
orientation, setbacks, buffers, landscaping and other design criteria.
The design of the proposed use will minimize adverse effects, including visual
impacts of the proposed use on adjacent property through the use of building
orientation, setbacks, buffers, landscaping and other design criteria. The
proposed use is located on the second floor of an existing, enclosed office and
bank building.

Re: Re: Letter of Intent, Conditional Use Approval Application // Permit # BL13-
1217 // Jaffe Building, Aventura FL
Dear Ms. Carr:
Please accept this letter of intent as an expression of interest on behalf of Shuva Israel
Aventura Inc. ( "Shuva Israel") to operate a designated portion of the Jaffee Building, 18999
Biscayne Boulevard, Aventura, Florida (the "Property ") primarily for Jewish cultural and bible
studies three to four times a week for approximately twenty to forty people as well as prayer
services. Understandably, this requires Shuva Israel to seek conditional review from the City of
Aventura and it is in accordance therewith that we are submitting this letter. We believe the use
sought by Shuva Israel is compatible with the other land uses permitting in the zoning district.
It is our belief that the impact of this use on the surrounding area will be extremely favorable.
We have and will continue to cooperate with all of the City of Aventura's applicable
land uses, development and building departments. It is our intention to work towards achieving
a project that is mutually beneficial to all. We look forward to working with the City of
Aventura.
Thank you very much for your consideration.
Respectfully Submitted,
SHUVA ISRAEL OF AVENTURA, INC.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Commission
FROM: Eric M. Soroka, ICMA -CM, City
DATE: May 29, 2013
SUBJECT: Ordinance Amending Dangerou Int rsection Safety Section of the
City Code to Incorporate Revisions Adopted During the 2013
Legislative Session
1St Reading June 4, 2013 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item ?R
2 "d Reading June 19, 2013 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Ordinance amending
Chapter 48 of the City Code entitled "Dangerous Intersection Safety" to comply with the
provisions of House Bill 7125 and to further revise and update the City Code to conform
with the 2013 legislation.
BACKGROUND
This past legislative session, the Florida Legislature enacted House Bill 7125 which in
part reformed the Mark Wandall Traffic Safety Act as follows:
A new two -step process for enforcing red light violations with intersection safety
cameras was adopted. The first step is sending a notification of the violation.
The violator now has 60 days (30 more than the previous legislation) following
the notification to either pay the $158 statutory penalty or request a hearing
before a local hearing officer appointed by the City. If the violator fails to pay the
penalty or request a hearing, then a uniform traffic citation will be issued and
enforced in the County Court. The hearings will be held at the Aventura
Government Center and conducted by the City's Special Master. At the
conclusion of the hearing, the Special Master shall determine whether a violation
occurred and can uphold or dismiss the violation. If the violation is upheld, the
Special Master may require the petitioner to pay municipal costs not to exceed
$250.00.
Memo to City Commission
Page 2
2. The standard changed for finding a red light camera violation when a car is
making a right hand turn at a red light. A violation will not have occurred when a
driver fails to stop at the red light if the driver is making a right -hand turn in a
careful and prudent manner provided the driver comes to a complete stop before
turning right. A violation may not be issued if the driver comes to a complete
stop after crossing the stop line and before turning right if permissible at a red
light, but failed to stop before crossing over the stop line or other point at which a
stop is required.
The amendment and revisions are effective July 1, 2013.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

SUBJECT: Proposed Additions to Floodplain Management Regulations
Article IV of Chapter 30 of the City Code to comply with the
Insurance Program and to co- ordinate with floodplain

June 4, 2013 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item 74
July 9, 2013 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item _
RECOMMENDATION
in Division 2 of
National Flood
management
It is recommended that the City Commission approve the ordinance attached to this
report, amending Division 2, "Flood Damage Prevention ", of Article IV, "Floods" of Chapter
30, "Environment" of the City Code to comply with the National Flood Insurance Program
( "NFIP ") and to co- ordinate with the floodplain management regulations in the 2010
Florida Building Code.
BACKGROUND
On February 28, 2013, the Florida Division of Emergency Management, State Floodplain
Management Office, conducted a Community Assistance Visit with City staff. This visit is
conducted periodically to discuss floodplain management programs and participation in
the NFIP, to assess enforcement of the local flood damage prevention ordinance and to
determine if the community requires technical assistance from the State to perform its
floodplain management duties.
A copy of the 2013 Community Assistance Visit report dated April 5, 2013 is attached as
Exhibit #1 to this report. The State found no concerns with the City's administrative and
enforcement procedures for floodplain management. The State did ask that the City either
revise the existing floodplain management ordinance to ensure compliance with the NFIP
and with the 2010 Florida Building Code that became effective on March 15, 2012, or
repeal the existing ordinance and replace it with the model ordinance prepared by the
State Floodplain Management Office. Staff has advised the State that it proposes to
revise our existing ordinance by amending Division 2 "Flood Prevention Damage" of Article
IV "Floods" of Chapter 30 "Environment" of the City Code. The State has provided a
checklist of items that need to be added or revised. The proposed amendments, detailed
in the section below, are based on that checklist.
THE AMENDMENT
The following amendments are proposed to Division 2 — Flood Damage Prevention — of
Article IV of Chapter 30 of the City Code. These revisions are shown in underlined text in
the attached ordinance.
(1) Section 30 -162, Intent and Purpose, revised to add that the intent is to administer and
enforce the floodplain management ordinance in conjunction with the Florida Building
Code.
(2) Section 30 -164, Definitions, revised to add definitions for "floodway ", "highest adjacent
grade" and "start of construction ".
(3) Section 30 -165, General Provisions, revised to add "severability" clause.
(4) Section 30 -166, Administration, revised to designate the Community Development
Director as the Floodplain Administrator.
(5) Section 30 -166, Administration, Application Stage, revised to add checklist items for
data to be considered as basis for elevating and floodproofing structures, requirements for
altered or relocated watercourses, and regulations for development in a regulatory
floodway.
The following section is deleted and is therefore shown in Strike through te)d:
(6) Section 30 -167, Provisions for Flood Hazard Reduction, revised to delete Subsection
(c), Standards for V zones, since there are no V zones on our City's Flood Insurance Rate
Maps (FIRMs).

Florida Building Code (FBC) became effective on March 15, 2012 and includes flood damage prevention
standards for construction. As such, communities in Florida are required to repeal and replace, or revise,
their existing flood damage prevention ordinances to ensure coordination with both the NFIP and the
FBC. The model flood damage prevention ordinance developed by the SFMO for use by communities,
and notice of its availability, was provided to all NFIP participating communities, by email, on April 13,
2012, and has been formally approved by FEMA Region IV on January 15, 2013. To ensure coordination
with the FBC, the City is encouraged to adopt the SFMO's model flood damage prevention ordinance.
State staff reiterated key points regarding why the community should adopt the model: a) it ensures
that the ordinance is not duplicative with the State - required building regulations; b) it helps prevent the
local floodplain ordinance from being inconsistent with the FBC now or in the future when the FBC is
updated; c) the State model ordinance is based on the FEMA model ordinance that is coordinated with
the International Code Council Building Code; and, d) the model ordinance incorporates clarifying
language from the FEMA guidance documents that help interpret the NFIP regulations and refers to the
FBC which incorporates design standards contained in ASCE 24 -05 Flood Resistant Design and
Construction flood building standards. Shortly after the CAV concluded, SFMO staff electronically
conveyed the contact information for the DEM consultants assisting communities in repealing, replacing,
and revising their flood prevention ordinances.
2.2. Are there problems with the community's administrative and enforcement procedures?
None. The City has effectively maintained the application and enforcement of its ordinance. As most of
the community is located within a floodplain, all proposed development is required to undergo a
floodplain review, conducted by the Floodplain Administrator, to determine: a) if the development is
located within a flood hazard area; and, b) what design and construction standards the developer must
adhere to in order to ensure NFIP compliance. During the CAV meeting it was noted by the Floodplain
Administrator that there have been no issues with the enforcement of the City's Flood Damage
Prevention Ordinance over the last ten years.
2.3. Are there engineering or other problems with the maps or flood insurance study?
None. The Floodplain Administrator noted that prior to the adoption of the City's current maps
(effective September 11, 2009) FEMA conducted meetings and maintained contact with the City. This
process resulted in FIRMS that accurately and satisfactorily represent the City of Aventura's Special
Flood Hazard Areas (SFHAs).
2.4. Are there other problems in the community's floodplain management program?
Page 12
None. There are no other problems with the City's floodplain management program.
2.5. Are there problems with the biennial report data?
N /A. Biennial reports are no longer required by FEMA.
2.6. Are there programmatic issues or problems identified?
No. No programmatic issues or problems not specific to the City have been identified.
2.7. Are there potential violations of the community's floodplain management regulations?
No. Prior to the CAV meeting, the City's floodplains were toured virtually using
Google Earth and Street View and in- person by SFMO staff in order to observe any development that
has been or is occurring in the floodplain. Prior to the CAV, the City provided SFMO staff with a list of
permitted development within the SFHAs during the previous five years. SFMO staff virtually toured the
thirty nine properties and structures from the permit list and then generated a smaller sample of
seventeen structures to visit during the field tour.
Observations of specific properties as well as overall development within the floodplain were discussed
during the CAV meeting. SFMO staff requested to see the permit files for nine properties of concern, all
of which were adequately and satisfactorily resolved by the City during the CAV meeting. City of
Aventura staff quickly and efficiently produced permit files for each of these properties. SFMO staff
reviewed these files and found all elevation certificates to be in compliance with the community's
ordinance and the NFIP (44 CFR §59 -60). Three of these permit files contained flood proofing
documentation for non - residential structures. SFMO staff reviewed the flood proofing certificates and
determined that the City has effectively enforced its Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance by requiring
flood proofing of non - residential structures to one foot above the BFE, or 18 inches above the crown of
the road, whichever was higher (City of Aventura, Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance, Sec. 30-
166(c)(4)).
3. COMMUNITY BACKGROUND
3.1. Community Assistance Visit / Community Assistance Contact History
According to FEMA's Community Information System (CIS), the last CAV was conducted by FEMA on
March 19, 1999. A general CAV note suggested that the community needed to maintain records of
elevation certificates with the permit file for each development activity. No other findings were
provided. The last Community Assistance Contact (CAC) was conducted by FEMA on December 2, 2006.
There were no summary notes or findings available to describe the nature of this CAC.
3.2. Floodplain Administrator
Page 1 3
Joanne Carr, AICP, is designated to administer the floodplain management program for the City of
Aventura. She has served in this capacity for ten years and has attended the L -273 Floodplain
Management training during this time. Ms. Carr also serves as the City's Community Development
Director. She coordinates with the Building Department, specifically the City's Building Official, Raul
Rodriguez, to conduct certain review activities (see Section 4.3 of this report).
3.3. Flood Insurance Statistics
According to CIS, as of January 31, 2013, the City has 7,859 NFIP policies that generate $ 1,263,244 in
annual premiums, resulting in a total insurance coverage of $ 1,668,742,100. There are 780 minus -rated
policies, a rather substantial number considering the size of the community, which are located in A-
Zones. There has been $ 535,713 in closed paid losses from 25 total claims. The community has 10
repetitive loss structures, all within AE, AO, AH, or A zones. There are 4 structures with four or more
losses. The total repetitive loss payment for buildings was $ 2,409,932.
4. DEVELOPMENT
4.1. General
There were thirty nine permits for new construction issued within the City over the past five years (since
January 1, 2008), twelve of which were located within a SFHA.
4.2. Development Review Process
The City's general procedures for the review of permits are appropriate. The floodplain administrator
completes a " Floodplain Development Checklist" for every permit application proposing development
within a SFHA. Development must adhere to the regulations contained in the community's Flood
Damage Prevention Ordinance if it is determined to be within a SFHA according to the City's FIRMs
(effective September 11, 2009). Subdivisions and larger developments are subject to review by the
public during public hearings prior to the plan approval stage and must adhere to the standards for
subdivision proposals as stated in the Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance (Sec. 30- 167(d)). Applications
for permits of a non - structural nature are reviewed by the City's Public Works Department and are
approved administratively in most cases.
The City of Aventura's development review process requires an elevation certificate to be submitted at
the tie beam inspection stage. Proposed elevations and certified methods of flood proofing non-
residential structures must also be submitted at this early construction stage. The finished floor
elevation or flood proofing methods must meet permit specifications before construction may continue.
Prior to the issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy (CO), another Elevation Certificate must be provided,
documenting that the final finished floor elevation and HVAC compressors and other equipment, is
"elevated no lower than one foot above the base flood elevation or 18 inches above the highest point of
the adjacent road crown elevation, whichever is higher" (Sec. 30- 167(b)(1)). The Community's
Page 14
Floodplain Administrator is an integral part of the development review process and upholds NFIP
regulations in the review of all surveys and Elevation Certificates, which must be completed according to
FEMA /NFIP requirements for any development proposed within a floodplain.
4.3. Substantial Improvement / Substantial Damage
The community not only meets the NFIP requirements for substantial improvement, but includes a
higher standard of a one -year period in "A" zones and a five -year period in "V" zones for cumulative
construction costs, according to its Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance (Sec. 30 -164, Substantial
Improvement). The floodplain administrator reviews applications for improvement at the site plan
review stage. A determination is made as to whether the cost of proposed improvements, or cumulative
costs of improvements, equals or exceeds 50 percent of the market value of the structure before the
start of construction of the improvement. Appraisal and valuation of the improvement are conducted
using Miami -Dade County Property Appraiser assessments. The community has not had any requests for
substantial improvement permits in the past three years.
The City applies the minimum NFIP requirement to substantial damage. When there is damage to a
structure, whereby the cost of restoring the structure to its before - damaged condition equals or
exceeds 50 percent of the market value of the structure before the damage occurred, the structure is
required to be brought into conformance with the City's floodplain management regulations (Sec. 30-
164, Substantial Damage). In order to help assess whether the structure has been substantially
damaged, the City's Building Official conducts a field inspection to estimate the cost of repairs. An
assessment of the structure's value before the damage occurred is obtained from the Miami -Dade
County Property Appraiser and is compared to qualified estimates of the cost for repair. No substantial
damage determinations have been made in the last three years.
4.4. Floodplain Certifications
The first elevation certificate is required prior to the issuance of a tie beam permit and a second
certificate must be submitted before obtaining a certificate of occupancy. If a non - residential building is
flood - proofed to one foot above the BFE or 18 inches above the crown of the road, whichever is higher,
the permit applicant must ensure the design is certified by professional engineer or architect (City of
Aventura, Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance, Sec. 30- 166(c)(4)).
4.5. Accessory Structures
The Community regulates accessory structures in the same manner as residential development;
however, accessory structures may be built below the BFE (with flood openings) since they are not
designed for human habitation. Such buildings have a low potential for flood damage, are located to
offer minimum resistance to floodwaters, are securely anchored, and have all electrical and mechanical
equipment properly elevated or flood - proofed. If accessory structures do not meet the above criteria
listed in the City's Flood Prevention Ordinance (Sec. 30- 167(b)(5)) they must adhere to the elevation
requirement for residential construction, which states that structures shall be "elevated no lower than
Page 1 5
one foot above the base flood elevation or 18 inches above the highest point of the adjacent road crown
elevation, whichever is higher" (Sec. 30- 167(b)(1)).
4.6. Manufactured Homes / Recreational Vehicles
There are currently no manufactured home parks within the City of Aventura. According to the City's
Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance, "all manufactured homes placed within the City must meet all the
requirements for new residential construction contained in [the City's ordinance], including installation
on permanent foundation systems, elevation, and anchoring" (Sec. 30- 167(b)(4)(a)). Also contained
within the City's ordinance, "all recreational vehicles placed on -sites must either: (1) be fully licensed
and ready for highway use, or (2) the recreational vehicle must meet all the requirements for new
construction, including anchoring and elevation requirements..." (Sec. 30- 167(b)(4)(b)).
4.7. Historic Structures
There are no historic structures located within the Special Flood Hazard Area of the City of Aventura.
4.8. Violations and Enforcement
The City's Code Compliance Department is tasked with investigating any concerns regarding possible
violations in floodplains. At the time of the CAV meeting, no enforcement/ compliance actions were
underway in the community.
4.9. Variances
According to the community's Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance, "The City Commission shall hear
and decide requests for variances from the requirements of [the City's ordinance]" (Sec. 30- 168(a)). The
ordinance also states that "the City Commission shall consider all technical evaluations, all relevant
factors, [and] all standards specified in other subsections of [the ordinance]," (Sec. 30- 168(d)). No
variances from the City's Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance have been requested or issued over the
past 10 years.
S. MITIGATION
5.1. Mitigation Initiatives
The City of Aventura is an active participant in the Miami -Dade Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS) process
and attends county -wide Floodplain Roundtable Meetings. Other mitigation initiatives include hurricane
evacuation and flood warning systems for the citizens of Aventura, the distribution of floodplain
information via flyers and mailers, and the maintenance of flood damage prevention documents and
information materials within the City's library. The City also hosts a yearly 'Hurricane Facts" event prior
to hurricane season. During this event, floodplain management staff distributes information regarding
flood damage prevention and the NFIP.
Page 16
The City of Aventura works with commercial plaza owners to clean and maintain their drainage systems,
thereby improving their capacity to store and treat storm -water on -site, promoting efficient city -wide
storm -water drainage. The City of Aventura has undertaken large -scale drainage projects in the past to
mitigate flood damage and continues to fund drainage enhancement initiatives. The City has achieved
an NFIP Community Rating System rating of 7, which enables owners of properties located in flood
zones with flood insurance policies to receive a 15 percent discount on their annual flood insurance
premiums.
5.2. Mitigation Grant Activity
The community has no open awarded grants at this time. The floodplain administrator has not received
any requests for assistance concerning grants.
6. FOLLOW -UP
6.1. Community Actions
The City should provide a revised ordinance addressing the deficiencies listed in the attached
"Ordinance Review Checklist" or indicate a decision to adopt the state model ordinance by July 1, 2013.
6.1.1. Ordinance
The City is not interested in adopting the State model ordinance since it currently enforces the FBC or its
current flood ordinance provisions whichever is more stringent and meets the standards established by
the NFIP. It was also noted during the CAV meeting that the City finds the new state model ordinance
difficult for the 'average reader' to follow because of the need to reference numerous volumes, sections
or standards in the FBC or ordinance. As stated by City staff, this is the foremost reason the City has not,
to date, repealed its ordinance and replaced with the State model.
In lieu of adopting the State Model ordinance, Miami Dade County has adopted an administrative
amendment (which addresses technical amendments) to the Florida Building Code, which has been
submitted to the Florida Building Commission. The administrative amendment requires that the County
and all its municipalities follow the flood regulations in the FBC, which also incorporates ASCE 24, or
their own specific floodplain management ordinance, whichever is more stringent. SFMO staffs have
concerns about the procedural efficacy of this approach. Therefore, the SFMO staff strongly encourage
the City of Aventura to revise, or repeal and replace its Floodplain Ordinance to coordinate and be
consistent with the FBC to ensure that flood building standards meet the minimum or higher standards
established within the NFIP.
SFMO staff asked City staff to contact the consultants to further discuss the merits of adopting the
model and how the City of Aventura may integrate higher standards into their floodplain ordinance. For
technical assistance regarding the model ordinance, communities may contact the SFMO's flood damage
Page 1 7
prevention ordinance technical assistance contractor at 1- 800 -595 -0724 or
flood .ordinance@ em. myflorida.com.
The new state model ordinance was provided to the community at the CAV meeting and can be found
on the SFMO's website at:
http• / /www.floridadisaster.org /Mitigation /SFMP /lobc resources.htm
6.1.2. Potential Violations
As stated in Section 2.7 of this report, all concerns raised by SFMO staff at the CAV meeting were
satisfactorily resolved by the community. Therefore no potential violations will be listed.
6.2. State Actions
The SFMO will continue to provide technical assistance, when requested, during the repeal and
replacement, or revision, of the City's flood damage prevention ordinance. The SFMO will continue to
provide information on training opportunities related to the new code, or for other topics, when
requested. The SFMO will also ensure that the City receives information and technical assistance in
response to its requests regarding available mitigation grant programs for the eligible minus -rated
properties and repetitive loss properties.
