RESOLUTION NO.228-14-14322
A Resolution of the City of South Miami ("City") calling for a South Florida
Sea Level Rise and Climate Change Congress that will include local, state,
and federal elected officials meeting to propose constructive solutions to sea
level rise and climate change.
WHEREAS,numerous studies have established that South Florida is comprised of some
of the world's most vulnerable areas to the impacts of climate change as the warming Earth's
melting ice caps push the sea level higher;and
WHEREAS, scientists believe that the rising sea level will threaten some of the region's
most vital facilities; and
WHEREAS, South Florida's sea level rose about 8 inches during the past century, and is
projected to increase by as much as 2 feet as early as 2048 and could go up to 3 feet by 2063;and
WHEREAS, South Florida is exceptionally vulnerable to climate change due to its
unique geology that is built on porous limestone which is slowly filling up as the sea level rises,
making the land, streets and neighborhoods more likely to flood and causes sewer systems to
back up into homes and gardens; and
WHEREAS,the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development lists Miami
as the number-one most vulnerable city worldwide in terms of property damage, with more than
$416 billion in assets at risk to storm-related flooding and sea-level rise; and
WHEREAS,rising sea level will also flood land, streets and neighborhoods; and
WHEREAS, there is little land in South Florida that is more than six feet above sea
level. Many condos and apartment blocks are at the edge of the sea; and
WHEREAS, of the total of 4.2 million US citizens who live at an elevation of four feet
or less,2.4 million of them live in South Florida; and
WHEREAS, 38.01 billion dollars' worth of property, 71 thousand homes, and 73
hazardous waste sites located in Miami-Dade County sit lower than 3 feet above sea level,
leaving them exposed to increasingly dangerous flooding and extreme weather events; and
WHEREAS, southeast Florida's roads, bridges and businesses already are facing
flooding because of higher sea levels, and the water is only expected to rise higher during the
next 50 years; and
WHEREAS, rising sea level threatens all of South Florida's popular coastal areas and
could alter the freshwater supply that feeds our cities and agriculture;and
Page 1 of 3
Res.No.228-14-14322
WHEREAS, three major sewage plants in South Florida could be reduced to shrinking
islands in less than 50 years due to climate change; and
WHEREAS, potential threats include more saltwater seeping in and fouling drinking
water supplies,and stronger,more frequent hurricanes;and
WHEREAS, even areas and resources that are far from the coast, such as Florida's
Biscayne Aquifer,are already experiencing saltwater intrusion,which is exacerbated by sea-level
rise; and
WHEREAS, with sea level rise of only 3-9 inches, southeast Florida could lose 70
percent of its drainage capacity in the 28 control structures that protect the region from flooding
and saltwater intrusion; and
WHEREAS, future warming will only increase the risk of more frequent and severe
impacts to the area's economy,infrastructure, and communities; and
WHEREAS, a Southeast Regional Climate Compact exists to address climate change in
Miami-Dade,Monroe,Broward,and Palm Beach counties; and
WHEREAS, in moments of crisis special congresses have been convened to address
serious problems;and
WHEREAS, too many elected officials not only refuse to address climate change, they
won't even acknowledge it as a legitimate threat; and
WHEREAS, South Florida's coastal communities need all levels of government—local
elected officials, state elected officials, and the state's full Congressional delegation—to
mobilize resources for wide-ranging adaptation and mitigation measures. By acting as leaders on
climate action, Florida's decision-makers can not only protect the state's vulnerable citizens
from the dangers of climate change—they can inspire communities across the United States to
follow suit;and
WHEREAS,we need comprehensive action now; and
WHEREAS,we call for a South Florida Sea Level Rise and Climate Change Congress to
address these issues specifically including the mobilization of resources for wide-ranging
adaptation and mitigation measures. This special Congress would include all local, state, federal
elected officials in the four Southeast Florida counties (Miami-Dade, Monroe, Broward, and
Palm Beach).; and
WHEREAS, the southeast Florida climate change plan seeks to help local communities
take a regional approach to preparing for everything from sea level rise to protecting drinking
water supplies;and
Page 2 of 3
Res.No.228-14-14322
WHEREAS, we call for a South Florida Sea Level Rise and Climate Change Congress
be held in the Fall of 2015.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY
COMMISSIONERS OF THE CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI,FLORIDA:
Section 1. The Mayor and the City Commission hereby call for a South Florida Sea
Level Rise and Climate Change Congress to be held in the Fall of 2015 that will include local,
state, and federal elected officials meeting to propose constructive solutions to sea level rise and
climate change. We, the City Commission for the City of South Miami, encourage such a
conference to be held which should necessarily include: all local elected officials of all the 108
municipalities of Miami-Dade, Monroe, Broward, and Palm Beach counties; the Mayor of
Miami Dade County and all local elected officials at the county level in Miami-Dade, Monroe,
Broward, and Palm Beach counties; the Governor of Florida and all elected Florida Legislature
representatives in the Miami-Dade, Monroe, Broward, and Palm Beach counties; all members of
the U.S. Congressional delegation that represents Miami-Dade, Monroe, Broward, and Palm
Beach counties; the President of the United States; and the 2016 leading Presidential candidates
in both political parties. We call for a South Florida Sea Level Rise and Climate Change
Congress to address these issues specifically including the mobilization of resources for wide-
ranging adaptation and mitigation measures. This special Congress would include all local, state,
federal elected officials in the four Southeast Florida counties (Miami-Dade, Monroe, Broward,
and Palm Beach).
Section 2. The City Clerk is hereby instructed to forward this resolution to all of the
elected officials listed in Section 1, above.
Section 3. Severability. If any section clause, sentence, or phrase of this resolution is for
any reason held invalid or unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction,the holding shall
not affect the validity of the remaining portions of this resolution.
Section 4. Effective Date. This resolution shall become effective immediately upon
adoption by vote of the City Commission.
PASSED AND ADOPTED this 66 day of November, 2014.

CITY OF AVENTURA
LEGISLATIVE PROGRAMS AND PRIORITIES
2015
This document is intended to provide direction to the City Manager, City Attorney and
Legislative Lobbyist as to the official City position regarding issues and pending
legislation which would affect the operation of local government. This document further
provides priorities for the acquisition of supplemental funding (grants) for various
programs.
The City of Aventura will endorse and support legislation that will:
1. Provide a dedicated revenue source for Charter School capital improvements at
the same levels provided to the local school boards.
2. Increase educational funding levels for Miami-Dade County public schools in
order to meet per pupil State Constitutional requirements.
3. Amend State law allowing a more economical method of advertising for a public
hearing relating to Comprehensive Plan adoption and/ or amendments.
4. Adopt the 2015 Policy Statement of the Florida League of Cities.
5. Enact a law enabling cities to prohibit smoking at city sponsored events or
activities and/or at city parks and facilities.
6. On a state-wide level, ban the use of handheld phones by persons operating
motor vehicles, but allowing hands free phone devices.
7. Provide a dedicated revenue source to cities that are located within 1 mile of a
facility that houses legalized gambling to offset police and road impact costs to
the community.
8. Preserve municipal authority for red light camera safety programs.
9. Amend Safe Harbor provisions (Fla. Stat. 718.116(1)(b) condos and
720.3085(2)(c) HOAs) to increase the liability of qualified lending institutions to
the lesser of twenty four months of past due assessments or two percent of the
original mortgage in the event of a foreclosure plus recovery of reasonable
attorney fees.
10. Seek an amendment to Sec. 790.065, F.S., to enable municipal police
departments to decline to release a firearm to a person who has been Baker
Acted, in the absence of a court order entered in a replevin case. The law
presently restricts firearms purchases and access to concealed weapons permits
by certain Baker Acted persons, but does not bar their possession of firearms.
