MEMORANDUM
TO: City Commission
FROM: Ronald J. Wasson, City Manager
BY: Kimberly S. Merchant, Community Services Director
DATE: May 3, 2024
SUBJECT: Resolution to Approve the Pour in Place Rubber Safety Resurfacing
of Founders Park Playground and Peace Park Playground
May 7, 2024 City Commission Meeting Agenda
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission approve a project in the amount of
$182,000.00, from account #001-5001-539-46-72, to resurface the playgrounds at
Founders Park and Peace Park.:
This work constitutes an authorized exemption from competitive bidding under City Code
Section 2-253(2)(b).
BACKGROUND
The playgrounds located at Founders Park and Peace Park have seen an increased use
since the return to normal after COVID. Due to the high traffic and constant exposure to
environmental conditions, the current surfacing has shown damage with tears and cracks.
Additionally, the black colored rubber that was mixed in, due to cost effectiveness at the
time, is a recycled rubber that can stain skin and clothing. The surfacing needs a 1/2 inch
of a new topcoat that is 100 % color ONLY and NOT the mix of 50% recycled black and
50% color that is currently installed.
By using Alpha Playgrounds for the 100% color topcoat and not a company using a state
contract, the City is able to take advantage of substantial savings of$107,300.00.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Commission
FROM: Ronald J. Wasson, City Manager 62)
BY: Kimberly S. Merchant, Community Services Director ;
DATE: May 3, 2024
SUBJECT: A Resolution to Approve the Replacement and Addition of Fencing for
Founders Park North and South
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission approve fencing projects totaling $64,720.00
to replace and add fencing at Founders Park North and Founders Park South.
This work constitutes an authorized exemption from competitive bidding under City Code
Section 2-253(2) (b).
BACKGROUND
The perimeter fencing at Founders Park South will be replaced using Florida Department
of Children and Families Standards for Outdoor Play Areas. These Standards require that
fencing, including gates, must be continuous and must not have gaps or openings larger
than 3 '/2 inches that would allow children to exit the outdoor play areas. The additional
fencing will include the following features:
• New paneling along the seawall to ensure the garden area has iguana control
similar to the previous garden fence;
• Fencing for a storage area;
• Paneling along the tennis courts to keep water and debris off the courts due to the
adjacent berm; and
• Additional fencing along the new FieldTurf by the first base side of the baseball
field due to the location of the light pole.
This will ensure the park is ready for the new Founders Park South Facility to open at City
standards for the residents by Summer of 2024.
The perimeter fencing is budgeted in the 23/24 Fiscal Year from account#001-8050-572-
6310 in the amount of$49,630.00. The remaining $15,090 will come from account #101-
8050-861.63-02 in the amount of $3,190, and account #101-8050-861.63-07 in the
amount of$11,900.
A budget amendment to cover the overage will be completed with the year-end budget
amendment

SUBJECT: An Ordinance to Repeal the Art in Public Places Board
May 7, 2024 City Commission Meeting Agenda (First Reading)
June 4, 2024 City Commission Meeting Agenda (Second Reading)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission approve an ordinance to repeal the Art in
Public Places Board.
BACKGROUND
The City Commission passed Ordinance No. 2012-16, which created the Art in Public
Places Board ("Board"). Pursuant to Section 3.11 of the City Charter, the City Commission
is empowered to terminate City boards and agencies as it may deem advisable from time
to time.
The City remains committed to considering input from City residents and other interested
parties concerning the placement of works of art at City owned and/or City operated parks,
buildings and facilities. However, due to the Board's lack of activity over the years, the
City Commission believes the existence of an advisory board to assist the City with the
above mentioned tasks is no longer warranted.
Fiscal Impact
This item has no impact to the City's budget.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Commission
FROM: Ronald J. Wasson, City Manager
BYE Robert Meyers, Office of the City Attorney
DATE: March 29, 2024
SUBJECT: Ordinance Amending the City Code of Ordinances to Create Section
1-22 to Make it Unlawful to Urinate or Defecate in Plain View in Public
Places
April 2, 2024 City Commission Meeting Agenda (First Reading)
May 7, 2024 City Commission Meeting Agenda (Second Reading)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission approve an ordinance to prohibit urination
or defecation in plain view of the public, because such public acts present a public health
risk due to the spread of diseases and other health hazards stemming from such waste.
BACKGROUND
Urination or defecation in a public place in plain view presents a serious threat to the
public health, safety and welfare of the community, contributing to such ill effects as
vandalism, disease transmission, and litter and is also irreparable and irreversible.
The Florida Statutes do not prohibit the act of public urination or defecation per se, unless
such acts are charged under the indecent exposure statute, ordinarily considered lewd
and lascivious acts. However, a number of municipalities across the State have enacted
ordinances prohibiting public urination or defecation without having to prove indecent
exposure. The proposed ordinance is fashioned from the City of Miami Beach Ordinance
(in effect since 1995) identifying public places where such acts are banned if committed
in plain view of the public.
A violation of this ordinance constitutes a public nuisance and upon a City of Aventura
police officer establishing probable cause of such violation they are authorized to take
enforcement action, as outlined in section 1-14 of the City Code.
Fiscal Impact
There may be a minor effect on the budget of those departments enforcing the ordinance,
requiring some resources to be spent in furtherance of enforcing this ordinance.

powers necessary to conduct municipal government, perform municipal functions, and
render municipal services, and may exercise any power for municipal purposes, except
