CITY OF AVENTURA LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM AND PRIORITIES 2025 This document is intended to provide direction to the City Manager, City Attorney, and Legislative Lobbyist regarding the official City position regarding issues and pending legislation that would affect the operation of local government.

Gilbert, III Agenda Item No. 8(0)(7) and Members, Board of County Commissioners From: Daniella Levine Cava 4W4 �CtV0,_, Mayor Resolution Ratifying the Award of Construction Contract No. 5-971 to Furnish Subject: and Install 16-Inch Sanitary Force Main along W, N & E Country Club Dr from William Lehman Causeway to Yacht Club Way related to Miami -Dade Water and Sewer Department's Consent Decree and Capital Improvement Programs Acceleration Ordinance Executive Summary This item seeks ratification of the award of Construction Contract No. 5-971 (the "Contract") to Maestre Construction, Inc. (Maestre) for Maestre to furnish and install a 16-inch sanitary force main along W, N & E Country Club Dr from William Lehman Causeway (the Causeway) to Yacht Club Way in an amount not to exceed $7,209,758.12. The project consists of furnishing and installing approximately 11,090 PVC C900 linear feet of sanitary sewer force main in the above - described location. This project will replace a 40-year-old 24-inch force main located 12 feet below ground that failed in 2019, resulting in a sewage spill into a retention pond near Aventura Mall. The Causeway connects State Road AIA to Biscayne Boulevard, requiring a phased approach to the necessary upgrade to the aging infrastructure that resulted in the 2019 incident. This is the third of three phases of force main repairs and involves the installation of a 16-inch force main to complete the enhancements. When complete the useful life of the new force mains will be extended by 40 years. The larger pipe diameters will support additional flows at lower pressure, reducing the need and cost associated with emergency repairs and cleanup of breaks.

BACKGROUND The Watershed Master Planning Initiative was funded by a $26.6 million grant under the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP). The goal is to create standardized, cost- effective, and easily replicable Watershed Master Plans. These plans provide communities within a watershed with tools to make informed decisions that reduce increased flooding from development on a watershed -wide basis. The Community Rating System (CRS) scores National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) communities by awarding credits for implementing higher floodplain management standards. Importantly, CRS communities cannot progress to a CRS Class 4 or below without the creation and adoption of a Watershed Master Plan. The estimated funding for this initiative is capped at $300,000, with a required 25% non- federal cost -sharing.

A DATE: January 10, 2025 SUBJECT: Resolution to Amend Rules of Decorum and Participation to Allow for Personally Directed Comments at City Commission Meetings January 14, 2025 City Commission Meeting Agenda RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Commission approve a resolution to amend the Rules of Decorum and Participation (the "Policy") by striking the portions of Section 2 of the Policy that prohibit speakers from directing their comments to individual members of the City Commission. BACKGROUND City Commission meetings are considered limited public forums, enabling government to establish reasonable time, place and manner restrictions. Such restrictions may be imposed to provide for uniform rules of public participation and decorum and for the orderly and effective operation of these meetings. Initially adopted in 1998, the City's Rules of Decorum and Participation have been amended on several occasions, most recently in 2024 when the Commission enacted Resolution No. 2024-38. In October 2024, in the case of Moms for Liberty v. Brevard County Public Schools, the 11t" Circuit Court of Appeals found that specific policies of the School Board contravened the First Amendment, including a policy that did not allow speakers to direct their comments to individual board members. Given the fact that the City of Aventura policy also contains a similar restriction on the right of speakers at a public meeting to direct their comments to individual members of the City Commission, it is necessary for the City to revise its policy to allow personally directed comments so long as these comments are not otherwise disruptive or inconsistent with the City's rules of decorum and participation. This Resolution has no impact on the City's budget. CITY OF AVENTURA RESOLUTION NO. 2025- WHEREAS, Section 4.01 of the City Charter of the City of Aventura, Florida, provides that the City Commission may establish procedures relative to City Commission meetings and agendas; and WHEREAS, Resolution 96-18 set forth the general authority for the Mayor to maintain decorum at Commission meetings but cites no specific rules or policies for the Mayor to rely on when a speaker or member of the audience acts in a manner prejudicial to the proper conduct of a City Commission meeting; and WHEREAS, the abovementioned 1996 Resolution has been revised several times since its adoption, most recently by Resolution No. 2024-38; and WHEREAS, in October 2024, the 11t" U.S. Circuit of Appeals, in the case of Moms for Liberty vs. Brevard County Public Schools, found that certain policies placing restrictions on speakers at board meetings violated the First Amendment, including a policy which prohibited "personally directed speech;" and WHEREAS, the City's Rules of Decorum and Participation expressly bar speakers from directing their comments to individual members of the City Commission at public meetings; and WHEREAS, the City Commission wishes to amend the Rules of Decorum and Participation to be aligned with the 2024 11t" Circuit Court of Appeals decision striking down as unconstitutional restrictions on the right of speakers who direct their comments to individual public officials during public meetings; and WHEREAS, the approval of this Resolution is in the best interest and welfare of the residents of the City of Aventura. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF AVENTURA, FLORIDA, AS FOLLOWS THAT: City of Aventura Resolution No. 2024- Section 1. Resolution No. 2023-30 is hereby amended to further define the term "disruptive conduct." Section 2.

Section 3. Conflicts. All Resolutions or parts of Resolutions in conflict herewith be and the same are hereby repealed to the extent of such conflict, Section 4. Severability. If any clause, section, or other part of the application of this Resolution shall be held by any Court of competent jurisdiction to be unconstitutional or invalid, such unconstitutional or invalid part or application shall be considered as eliminated and so as not affecting the validity of the remaining portions or applications of this Resolution, Section 5. Effective Date. That this Resolution shall take effect immediately upon its passage and adoption. The foregoing Resolution was offered by Commissioner who moved its adoption.

Florida Department of Transportation, District Six 1000 NW 11 lth Avenue Miami, FL 33172 Subject: Collective Request for Prioritization of Traffic Congestion Studies on 163rd Street and Biscayne Boulevard Dear Executive Director Boucle and Secretary Miller, f%hk On behalf of the cities of North Miami Beach, Sunny Isles Beach, Golden Beach, Aventura, and Bal Harbour, we are writing to express our collective concern regarding the increasing traffic congestion along 163rd Street, particularly at its inteection with Biscayne Boulevard. This corridor is a vital artery providing ac s from I-95 to our communities and unincorporated areas of Miami -Dade County. We are aware of and support the ongoing development of the Northeast Corridor project, including the forthcoming train station at NE 151st Street, as part of the Strategic Miami Area Rapid Transit (SMART) Plan. While we welcome these enhancements to regional transit, we have observed that the increased railway activity has intensified traffic congestion at the intersection of 163rd Street and Biscayne Boulevard. The strain on our road infrastructure has become increasingly pronounced, and we believe that addressing this issue in conjunction with the Northeast Corridor project is essential. We respectfully reque—st that the scope of the Northeast Corridor project be amended to include a study of viable roadway improvements at the intersection of 163rd Street and Biscayne Boulevard that facilitate the free flow of east -west traffic while accommodating increased railway usage. By integrating roadway improvements into the existing Northeast Corridor project, we can develop comprehensive solutions that address both rail and road transportation needs. This holistic approach will enhance mobility, reduce travel times, improve safety, and ultimately improve the quality of life for our residents and visitors. To underscore the urgency of this matter, we would like to highlight: Economic Impact: The congestion negatively affects commerce by delaying the transport of goods and services, impacting local businesses and the regional economy. Safety Concerns: Increased traffic congestion heightens the risk of accidents, posing safety hazards to motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists. Additionally, congestion can delay response times for first responders, compromising public safety during emergencies. Environmental Considerations: Prolonged idling in traffic contributes to higher emissions, adversely affecting air quality and conflicting with our collective environmental sustainability goals. Population Growth: Our cities are experiencing steady population growth, which will only exacerbate current traffic issues if not addressed promptly. We are eager to collaborate with the Miami -Dade TPO, FDOT, and the railway agencies on this important initiative. Our cities are committed to supporting efforts that will lead to sustainable and efficient transportation systems in our region. Thank you for your attention to this pressing matter. We look forwar o your favorable consideration and are available to discuss this further at your earliest convenience.

THE REQUEST Michael J. Marrero, Esq. c/o Bercow Radell, on behalf of Gulfstream Park Racing Association, Inc. (the "Applicant"), is requesting the Rezoning of the Property to utilize the newly created development regulations of the TC5 to develop a project that aligns with the goals and objectives of the Town Center North Planned District designation. The applicant's Letter of Intent is attached as Exhibit #1 of this report. BACKGROUND Property Owner- Gulfstream Park Racing Association, Inc Property Location - Northeast corner of Biscayne Boulevard and NE 213 Street. See Exhibit #2 for Location Map Property Size - 26.5 acres +/- See Exhibit #3 for Legal Description The Property consists of two (2) parcels of vacant land with some supporting facilities for the racetrack located on the adjacent parcel to the north under same ownership. Property's boundaries are Broward County Line to the north, NE 34 Avenue to the east, NE 213 Street to the south, and Biscayne Boulevard to the west. The Property is currently zoned 132-Community Business District and MO, Medical Office District, on the Official Zoning Map. The Applicant's original landholding contained 39.2 acres of land, with 19.7 acres zoned MO, Medical Office District, and 19.5 acres zoned B2, Community Business District. In 2007, the Applicant deeded 7.0 acres to the City of Aventura (the "City") for the development of the Waterways Park; in conjunction with this agreement, the Applicant received other development approvals including a Development Agreement under Chapter 63 F.S. and Conditional Use approval for the development of a 25-story, 480- unit multifamily residential building on the portion of the Property zoned MO. The deeded 7.0-acre parcel was subsequently designated ROS, Recreation Open Space, on the City's Zoning Map, leaving 12.7 acres of the Property under MO, Medical Office, designation. In 2017, the Applicant and the City entered into an Agreement of Purchase and Sale, wherein the Applicant's agree to sell to the City 2.0 acres of land adjacent to the Waterways Park to facilitate the construction of the Aventura Charter High School. Under this agreement, the land zoned for B2, Community Business, was reduced to 17.5 acres. The school's 2-acre parcel was subsequently rezoned to CF, Community Facilities District. On June 4, 2024 the City Commission under Resolution 2024-33, approved a term sheet outlining the basis for a comparable Purchase and Sale Agreement (PSA) between the City and the Applicant for the purchase of a 3-acre parcel by the City for the expansion of the existing charter school. Subsequently, on September 3, 2024, and under Resolution 2024-61, the City Commission approved the purchase of additional 0.7 acres of land, increasing the size of the parcel to be acquired from the Applicant to 3.7 acres. Approval of an amendment to the existing Development Agreement and additional development entitlements further discussed in the Term Sheet is a condition precedent to closing. Amendments to the Official Zoning Map shall be consistent with the adopted Comprehensive Plan. The TC5 District can only be applied to properties with Town Center designation on the Land Use Category on the Future Land Use Element of the Comprehensive Plan. To ensure consistency, concurrently with this request the City has submitted applications to amend the Comprehensive Plan Future Land Use Map, and the Land Development Regulations. Section 163.3184 of the Florida Statutes provides that zoning changes required to properly enact any proposed plan amendment may be considered concurrently, but are contingent upon the comprehensive plan amendment becoming effective. If the proposed amendments are approved, the resulting 26.5-acre land will be rezoned from B2, Community Business District and MO, Medical Office District, to TC5, Town Center North Planned Development District. In addition, concurrently with these requests, the City will be requesting to City Commission the rezoning of the 3.7 school parcel from MO, Medical Office District, to CF, Community Facilities District.
