It is recommended that the City Commission authorize the execution of the attached
Traffic Control Jurisdiction Agreement with Eldorado Towers Condominium to provide
traffic control jurisdiction by our Police Department over the private roads within the
condominium. The Agreement will increase the visibility of the police force and
enhance traffic enforcement.
BACKGROUND
In our continued efforts to provide improved police services to the community, we have
initiated a program that allows a condominium or homeowners associations to enter into
an Agreement with the City to provide traffic control jurisdiction over a private roadway
within the development. This permits the Police Department to conduct traffic
enforcement activities on private property at the request of the owner.
Florida State Statute 316.006 allows municipalities to enter into such agreements
provided they are reimbursed for the actual costs of traffic control and enforcement, the
owner agrees to indemnify the City and provide liability insurance.
The City will bill the owner $25.00 per hour for each officer required to perform the
traffic enforcement detail when requested by the owner. Whenever possible, traffic
complaints made by the occupants of the property will be responded to and handled as
a call for service, without charge to the owner.
Memo to City Commission

The program has been received well by the community.

In the City's continued effods for providing information to our residents and exploring
alternate means to communicate with the public the Administration has been exploring
the possibility of utilizing a Highway Advisory Radio system. The concept utilizes a
radio signal that can broadcast messages to motorist four to six miles away as they
pass through the City. Up to forty minutes of prerecorded messages can be played.
The program has been used by FDOT on the Florida Turnpike. It requires a motorist to
tune into a specific radio station which broadcasts the information. Residents and
businesses can tune in to the station as well.
The Radio station can be used for the following: · Assist traffic flow by broadcasting radio advisories.
· Provide alternative routes to motorists during accidents or emergencies.
· Deliver hurricane emergency information.
· Provide general information about the City and special events and programming.
· In case of emergency, the system can broadcast live information.
Homeland security information and events.
Message boards could be placed in strategic areas in the City to advise motorists to
tune to the station. The transmitter is installed on a telephone pole and a battery back
up unit is available.
The cost of the system is $50,000 and can be funded from the Police Fodeiture
Account. This item will be presented to the City Commission for approval at the June
meeting.

that HAR. The DR2000 software records, plays, and manages messages and play lists. The
software can schedule message play lists, emergency messages, transmitter on/off, and weather
radio broadcast.
The HIS DR2000AV Software Module allows for control of Variable Message Signs (VMS) in
addition to the HAR systems. This software module allows for the creation, editing, and display of
text frames or sequences of text frames to be sent to the VMS units. Communication with VMS
will utilize serial digital data streams over several types of data links. There is no other known
provider of HAR systems that can provide the equipment or software for a completely functional
and fully integrated HAR system with these capabilities.
HIS Provides a standard 5 Year Limited Warranty. There is no other known warranty in the HAR
industry for this length of time.
HIS maintains it's own fleet of service vehicles including ground system installation equipment,

Re: La Estancla Property
D~ar Ms. Cam
This firm represents La Estancia Argentina, the proposed tenant of the property at 17866
Biscayne Boulevard. City of Aventura (the "City") Resolution No. 2002-55 approved an
application for a variance from Section 31-17 l(b) of the City's regulations to allow ! 5 parking
spaces where 18 axe required by code. The Resolution provided until February 1, 2003 within
which m obtain all the permits and construct all site and fat:adc improvements shown on the
approved plans. Thereafter, the applicanl requested an extension ofits timeframe, showing good
cause to the City that it had been working with the owner of the property to complete the paving,
drainage and other improvements, and that the f~ade was almost complete. The extension was
granted until June 4, 2003.
As I am sure the City can appreciate, the building being constructed is a vast
improvement over the previous s~ucture un the site. Partial demolition has already been
completed and additional paving, drainage and landscaping improvements are requited.
The City Commission was kind enough the previous request on behalf of La IL~ancia for
an extension of the timeframe to complete the fa6ade and side improvements. Again, it is clearly
within La Estancia's bes~ interest to open as soon as possible and joia the Aventura community,
and they work diligently toward that end.
Thc improvements arc almost complete, and permits have been issued, however it
appears that wo will not be in time to meet the June 4, 2003 extension granted by the City.
Therefore, we respectfully request au additional three-month extension in order to complete the
requirc, d improvements,

Ordinance Amending 2002~03 FY Bud-~eg t to Create FIFC Loan Debt
Service Fund and FIFO Loan Construction Fund
1st Reading May 6, 2003 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item ~2~A
2n~ Reading June 3, 2003 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the 2002/03 Fiscal Year Budget be amended to establish the
FIFC (Florida International Finance Commission) Loan Debt Service Fund and the FIFC
Loan Construction Fund. This amendment is in accordance with the recent City audit
report whereby it was recommended that the debt service and construction cost
associated with the FIFC Loan be deleted from the Charter School Fund Budget and
separate Debt Service and Capital Construction Funds be created to account for these
line items.
BACKGROUND
The Auditors have recommended that accounting for the Bond Proceeds, Debt Service
and Capital Construction associated with the construction of the Charter Elementary
School be included in separate Debt Service and Capital Construction Funds similar to
that established for prior long-term finance projects (i.e., Government Center,
Community Recreation Center). Therefore, the Budget is being amended to establish
the two funds.
A Budget Amendment Resolution deleting the Bond Proceeds, Debt Service and
Construction Costs from the Charter School Fund Budget will be presented to the City
Commission for approval.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Amendment to Section 31-143(g) of the City's Land Development
Regulations to provide opportunity for height bonuses, transfer of densities
and lot coverage credit where dedications for certain public lands are
provided (03-LDR-03)
May 6, 2003 Local Planning Agency Agenda Item __
May 6, 2003 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item
June 3, 2003 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item
RECOMMENDATION
it is recommended that the City Commission approve the amendment to Section 31-
143(g) of the City's Land Development Regulations to provide for height bonuses, transfer
of densities and credit for lot coverage as a conditional use in the RMF3B zoning district
where dedications for certain public lands are provided.
THE REQUEST
City staff is requesting an amendment to Section 31-143(g) of the City's Land
Development Regulations to provide for height bonuses, transfer of densities and credit for
lot coverage as a conditional use in the RMF3B zoning district where dedications for
certain public lands are provided.
BACKGROUND/DESCRIPTION
At its workshop meeting of March 27, 2003, the City Commission considered a
memorandum from the City Manager relating to a request from a property owner on NE
188 Street about the possibility of dedicating land to the City in exchange for granting
height concessions in the RMF3B zone to eleven stories. The memorandum suggested
that an incentive program could be included in the Land Development Regulations,
whereby property owners who dedicated land to the City could receive, as a conditional
use approval, additional height to eleven stories and the density (dwelling units per acre)
from the land dedicated could be transferred to the parcel that receives the conditional use
approval. This is similar to the incentive program approved by Ordinance No 2002-05
that allows property owners to increase the height of buildings from four to seven stories if
a public promenade along the waterfront is provided as part of the development. It was
the consensus of the City Commission to proceed with the land dedication incentive
program through preparation of an ordinance amending the land development regulations
for consideration at the May 6, 2003 Commission meeting.
The proposed ordinance amending the Multifamily Medium Density Residential (RMF3B)
District is appended to this report. In addition to the height bonus and transfer of density,
the property owner has requested that a credit be given to the parcel that receives the
conditional use approval for additional lot coverage based on the area of the parcel
dedicated to the City. This provision has been included in the ordinance.
The ordinance provides that the height bonus to eleven stories be considered as a
conditional use and that the application be subject to the conditional use requirements of
Section 31-73 of the City Code. it further specifies:
(i)
(ii)
(iii)
(iv)
(v)
(vi)
that the land to be dedicated to the City be a minimum of 1.5 acres ~n size
that, at the discretion of the City Commission, the density otherwise available

Dear hlayor Periow,
First and foremost I would like to th~nk the Aventura City Council fOr approving the "Lions fOr
the L'hi~dren of ~erusalem" project. ! am sure boLh Lhe City of Aventura and the City of
Jerusalem will establish an ongoing and fruitful relationship that is benef~ia) to all.
As ! unde.~'~nd from Mr, Martin Undenfeid, membe~ ~ the CAy CounCil were concerned
regarding a number of aspects of the project. Thus, I would like to outline herewith our
response to their querie~.
~. Endosed please find cooies of our 50"~ (c) 3 documentation establishing t. he New
3emsalem Foundation as a recognized non-profR organization in the United States. Tile
documents were issued on Deceml~er 9~, 1999, and will be renewed ~n .~anuary Ig,
Z0oq.
2. The New Jerusalem Foundation has carefully planned ~Uons fOr the Children of
.Jerusalem" in order that a very large pot:ion of the proceeds will indeed re. ach it.:
charitable programs intended, in our development of the project, five major income
9c.:n~_rabng ~ources hav~ been deterl~ned:
L) l"lega Sp~msorships: As ! write t~is memo, the only mega sponsor thus far is
the Peugeot CorporaOon, wl~ic[q Aas commiLl~d bo contribute SZO0,000 USD to
the project. We am approaching an [sraeli cellular company and othem as weil
to sponsor the project, in order to altow us to finance the production and
shipping costs for all four au~dons in t~e United States (ca. $300,000
Cor~)rate SponsorshipS: We hope t:o bring to Aventura 50 Lion Sculptures
and our aim is to raise $6,000 per lion from local (P-!oHda Or US) corporate
sponsors. In total we anticipate a mayJmum of $300,000. This sum sflould cover
the local budget for organizing project including [he Va~spori~tion of the Lions
within F~oddao th~ Gala Dinner Event, promotion and other related expenses
which have been budgeted at ca. $150,000. ?he balanqe will be added to the
proceeds raised from the auc~on.
iv.)
v.)
Merchandising: At the moment we are unable to evalua:e the projected income
from memhandising. Hoverer, ~ of the seles will be added bo the
Gala Dinner Event:. We estJmate the pa~icipation of at least: 600-700 pesons
at the Gala Dinner event. 4QO of those attenOmg will De our corporate sponso,$,
with anothe~ 20~-300 addr6onal guests whose ~ckets will cover their own
expcnses at the dinner. ~II ~f the balance wilt be added to the proceeds
generated by the auction.
Lion AuCtl~q: It 6 difficult at this Urne to evaluate the total proceed~ of the
au~on. Nevertheless we anticipate that each lion will be sold fo{' an ave~ge
price of $~.5.000 and thus we e:stimat~' that the ~u~; income will be $750,000.
We Det~ave that tJle net Inc~rne Fur the AvenbJra projec~ will be between $800-900,000.
The entire sum will be divided among the five prOjects outJined in our proposal in a
prol~rfion determined by a Public Committee headed by N~. Aliza Olmerb wife of Vice
Premier of L~rael and Minister of Trade, Indust~ and Labor Mr. Ehud Olmert. The
Internal Coml3troller of the New 3erusalem Fonndation and it~ Board of Directors will
moalmr tn~5 prt~t~s.
The overhead cha~e of the New 3erusalem Foundation is 5% of the net incom~ That
sum is meant to cover the foundation's expenses. [ cio not bet~'v~ ti)ere are many
chariU~ in the USA that operate on such a iow overhead budget, We am able bo do so
thank~ to the meny dedicated volunteers ~uch as Mr. Undenfeld, Mr. Hatilz~, Ms. Patty
Sc~er and Ms. PhyIlis Apple, and many other friends of 3erusalem who are contdbuUng
their time and talentS to help 3erusalem's chiidre~ in need,
I wish bo thank you once again for your pe~:mal support and that of the Aventura CRy
Council bowan~s the project. ! am sum that 'Lions for the Children of 3arusolem" will be
a tremendous success.

ERUSALEM
A Presentation to the Aventura City Council
April 2003
3erusalem, April, 2003
Shalom from 3erusalem,
We are pleased to present to the City of Aventura Florida, a concept outline
for "Lion Parade - Lions for the Children of Jerusalem". The past few
years have seen a veritable menagerie of animal sculptures in many major
cities around the globe. Cows grazing in New York and Chicago, moose in
Toronto, bears in Berlin, and Flamingos in Florida have turned city streets into
open-air galleries, creating an atmosphere of fun-filled humor and inspiration.
~lerusalem displayed over 80 lions on the capital's streets in 2002. The
emblem of the city, the "Lion of .ludah" symbolizes the courage, heroism and
majestic quality of Jerusalem, arguably one of the most beautiful cities in the
world, in 2003, nearly 100 new and established artists representing a wide
range of Israeli artistic expression, will produce another 160 life-size lion
statues, intended to decorate the streets of New York, Los Angeles, Aventura,
and Toronto.
.~erusalem holds a special place in the hearts of individuals and communities
around the world. With this in mind we present to you the concept of bringing
40-50 painted Jerusalem lions to Aventura for display, along prominent
avenues, boulevards and promenades. A selected number of lions will be
painted by prominent local Florida artists as well.
Your participation will help a 3erusalem child
regardless of race or religious affiliation
to grow, learn and flourish.
this is our hope and our future, this is the wish you can grant a child.
After a period of display and community events surrounding the Lions'
exhibition they will be sold at a public auction, which the New Jerusalem
Foundation will organize with Aventura. Proceeds of the auction sale will be
directed to financing a variety of specified programs to benefit Jerusalem's
children.
We would deeply appreciate if Aventura would join us in this creative
initiative. We look forward to partnering with you on this fun and exciting
endeavor.
Sincerely,
Zvi Raviv
Director General
The New ]erusalem Foundation
Background
Tn 2002, the Lions of Jerusalem were produced and displayed throughout the
city for nearly 10 months - bringing color, creativity and inspiration to
Jerusalem residents and city streets. This year, the Hunicipality of Jerusalem
and the New Jerusalem Foundation wish to bring our Lions to you - the
community of Aventura- Florida.
Now more than ever before, opportunities for positive and encouraging
events representing israel abroad are needed. By bringing Aventura our Lions
we invite you to share in "Lion Parade - Lions for the Children of
Jerusalem~- through a creative and cultural event that wilt give a sense of
solidarity, warmth and positive publicity for lerusalem, the nation's capital.
Statement of Purpose - Goals~Objectives
· To have 3erusalem join the international stage of outdoor public
art initiatives by bringing [sraeli art and creativity to Aventura
· TO focus attention on 3erusalem - national capital of the State of
[srael and the spiritual center of the Jewish people and home to the three
monotheistic faiths.
· To create a series of public relations opportunities for positive and
creative support for .~erusalem and Israel.
· To encourage organizations and institutions involved with
Israel and 3erusalem to be partake in a unique and creative program
benefiting. Jerusalem to strengthen their ties and expand the scope
of their activity.
· To give Aventura the opportunity to join and share in a creative
and exciting project that promotes solidarity and philanthropic
support for 5erusalem's children,
A ~uggested Framework
A ventura Florida 2003
In Aventura "Lion Parade - Lions for the Children of Jerusalem"
committees will be established to promote, plan, organize and carry out
activities related to the Lions' arrival in the following areas:
l)
Promotion and Sponsorship - the collaboration and sponsorship by
local organizations or local branches of national organizations and
institutions (especially ones that may have Lions in their Iogos!) are a key
element to the success of "lion Parade - lions for the Children of
]erusalem- Aventura 2005". Prominent members of the Public Board
(see outline below) will be critical in securing sponsorships for events and
promotion and for the L/on Parade Ce/ebrat/on Day, Auction and Gala
Event.
2)
Placementf Community Events and Public Relations of the Lions
in your city - The promotion and placement of the Lions in Aventura will
rely on the knowledge and familiarity of local teams. Creating public
events around the arrival of the Lions will provide opportunities for
community organizations to utilize the Lions for their own charitable
programs (such as marathons, bike-a-thons etc.) and for the community
to get to know Jerusalem, creating "hype" leading up to the L/on Parade
Ce/ebrat/on Day.
3)
Lion Parade Celebration Day, Auction and Gala Event - this final
day of spectacular events will include a community day picnic and
entertainment, the Lion Auction and a Gala Event finale. The day itself wilt
require community-wide promotion, the auction itself will require
coordination, planning, invitations to local VIP's artists and community
philanthropists as well as for the Gala Event finale. Proceeds of all the
day's events will be dedicated to programs benefiting lerusalem's children.

The Executive Committee will address the following aspects of the program:
l)
~ecure Sponsorships- In efforts to bolster community involvement through
local sponsorship, each Lion will be "adopted" by a local sponsor whose name,
company name and/pr logo will be displayed on the base of the Lion statue. Each
display sponsorship will be $6,000. Our goal is to obtain 40 such display
sponsorships - one per Lion. This committee should also be responsible for the
placement and moving of the Lions for the duration of the display and activities.
2)
Education and Community Programming- A primary means to encourage
community interest and involvement in the Lion Parade is through a series of
planned educational and social events designed for all ages that coincide with the
arrival and placement of the Lions in Aventura. Each event, accompanied with
public relations and promotional media campaign for the Lions will generate
interest and excitement over the display period.
· Letter Exchange between Jerusalem andAventura Children and Youth
· Lion Painting Contest by Aventura Children and Youth
3) Lion Parade Celebration Day, Auction and Gala Event-
December 4~h or Ilth 2005 The day itself will require community-wide
promotion, the auction itself will require coordination, planning, invitations to local
VIP's artists and community philanthropists as well as for the Gala Event finale.
4) Public Relations and I~edia Campaign -All public relations, advertising and
media campaigns should be coordinated in conjunction with events planned for
Aventura.
Programs for .lerusalem's Children to be Financed by the
Jerusalem Lion Parade Auctions
Proceeds of the Lion Parade Auction will be dedicated to .lerusalem's Children - without
discrimination of race, religion or creed. Of the 700,00 residents of Jerusalem today, there
are over 300,000 youngsters between the ages of 0-~.9. .~erusalem is considered a very
"young" city relative to other urban centers in israel (comparatively to Tel Aviv and Haifa).
Due to the unique composition of .~erusaiem society (30% Arab, 28% Ultra-Orthodox, ~.0%
New immigrants, 32% traditional and non-Orthodox), the city has a disproportionate number
of large families.
As a spiritual center to the three monotheistic faiths, .~erusalem's economy has never been
industry based, and thus has centered around governmental and medical services (as the
nation's capital), tourism and high-tech industries. With the current crisis in high-tech, and
the unrest since September 2000, .lerusalem's economy faces many obstacles for its
sustainability. The segments of the population most affected by the sharp drops in municipal
and business income are those weaker segments who most depend on municipal services.
The New Jerusalem Foundation is dedicated to raising funds and resources to help
meet the growing needs of Jerusalem's residents. Working closely with the
Municipality of Jerusalem, the foundation strives to enhance the quality of life for
Jerusalemites addressing projects that meet the daily needs of its residents including,
education, culture and the arts, assistance to the needy, new immigrant absorption,
and more. These projects are among the many exciting and important endeavors that
the Foundation has embraced as part of its efforts to enhance Jerusalem and her
citizens'lives.
' "CARE4KIDS"Afterschool Program For Jerusalem's Underprivileged
Children
Kindergartens and schools operating in poverty stricken areas of Jerusalem are reporting that
there are an increasing number of children who are unable to take part in after-school
activities such as music, science or sports, and that many of the children do not have access
to a computer at home. Some 50% of the children do not have sufficient clothing, others are
only eating a hot meal once every few days, and many children come to school each day
hungry. Children participating in "Care4K[ds", take part in enrichment activities such as
drama, music, arts, sports and more as well as receiving remedial assistance with school
studies in the rudimentary subjects such as Hebrew grammar, mathematics, English; etc. in
order to help them achieve their academic goals. The children study from 8:00 am until
3:45pm and receive a hot lunch meal.
· PROJECT "TZAMID" - Programming For Jerusalem's Special Needs
Children
In Jerusalem today there am over 4,500 children and young people with special needs, who
are confronted with the daily challenge of physical and mental disabilities. "Tzamid" meaning
"chain" in Hebrew is the driving force behind a unique system of city-wide programs, activities
and support networks established by the Jerusalem Municipality to provide services and
assistance to special needs children and their families. A life enriched with cultural and social
activities that include dance, the plastic arts, music, sports and more can give these children
the self-confidence and motivation toward becoming an integrated part of Jerusalem society.
· Jerusalem's Children at Risk - Addressing the Needs of Abused
Children
Jerusalem maintains 22 safe-houses for some 200 children who have been separated from
their home environments (due to domestic violence, abuse and related issues). There [sa
demand to create another five such facilities that provide the warm and caring safety net that
these youngsters so desperately need to heal, grow and flourish out of the cycle of violence
and abuse.
"HA TZLAHA - SUCCESS" A Drop-Out Prevention Program for
Jerusalem Teens
"Hatzlaha" is an intervention program operated by the Youth at Risk Division of the
Jerusalem Municipality in cooperation with the Jerusalem Education Authority and the
Ministry of Education in local Jerusalem schools, that is dedicated to assisting junior high and
high school students who are on the verge of abandoning formal educational frameworks.
Students who join Hatzlaha are between the ages of 14-16 who have been identified as "at-
risk" for dropping out. They are generally from Iow socio-economic backgrounds and from
poverty stricken neighborhoods, and/or suffer from problematic home environments. These
students have been identified as having personal emotional and psychological issues due to
these and perhaps other factors.
Over the course of 2 years, students are involved in an intensive program that includes
therapeutic and remedial work on a number of levels:
Individual therapy and support;
· Group work aimed at strengthening self confidence, changing attitudes, enhancing
motivation and instilling normative behavior patterns;
Learning through experience to promote group cohesion and to channel negative
energies towards constructive activity;
Reinforcing and developing learning skills including provision of private tutors and
creating special learning groups;
Parental contact aimed towards developing communication skills for releasing parent-
child tensions.
· Ongoing contact with school staff to generate a deeper sense of involvement with the
aims of Hatzlaha and gain their cooperation in assisting students to cope with their
academic and functional difficulties.
· Recreational Park for Children in the Gilo Neighborhood
The Gilo neighborhood is located on the southern edge of Jerusalem and is a front-line
neighborhood that has been under fire with over 180 shooting incidents in the past two years.
There is a need to develop a new outdoor "green" recreational facility for children in the Gilo
neighborhood to serve the large and growing population and to provide a safe and welcoming
environment for children to play.
The park will include a number of shaded areas as well as three unique recreational
sculptures designed for youngsters by new immigrant sculptor Ruslan Sergeev. The
proposed play area is suitable for young children and toddLers, and will include the artist's
colorful and fantasy-like creatures enhancing the park and the play environment. The artist
has designed a number of works for children's kindergartens and schools, utilizing what he
terms "environmental sculptures" that are designed to serve a both creative and functional
purpose for the enjoyment of the public in general and children in particular. The
"environmental sculptures" utilize materials suitable for the urban setting combining elements
and themes of Man & Nature, and the environment.
