OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER 2001
INTER - OFFICE MEMORANDUM
To: The Honorable Mayor Stoddard and Member of the City Commission
Via: Hector Mirabile, Ph.D., City M r
From: Stephen David, SMCRA Dir ctor (r
Date: February 1, 2011 ITEM No.
A Resolution of the Mayor and City Commission of the City of South Miami, Florida,
authorizing the City Manager to extend the expiration date of the fiscal year 2010
grant agreement amendment with Miami -Dade County's Department of Housing and
Community Development (DHCD) for the CRA Street Lighting Project from
December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2011 and to accept an additional $50,000,
increasing the total grant award amount to $170,000; and providing an effective date.
Background
During the January 14, 2010 Meeting of the City Commission, Resolution #20 -10 -13054 was
approved by the City Commission authorizing the City of South Miami to accept CDBG funding
in the total amount of $120,000 for lighting improvements in the SMCRA area (See Exhibit A).
Staff understands that the City of South Miami was also awarded an additional $50,000 to
complete the project. The original funding award was also based on the SMCRA providing a
partial funding contribution towards completion of the project. Project estimates were
subsequently obtained by the City's Public Works Department and returned to the SMCRA
Board for approval of the funding contribution. Due to current negative economic conditions, the
SMCRA Board agreed not to fund the additional costs associated with "decorative" lighting but
provided general consensus to install "standard" low -cost, cobra -head lighting as an alternative.
SMCRA staff is committed to working with the City of South Miami in obtaining the required
standard lighting quotes, implementing the project and fulfilling all other requirements of the
CDBG grant program. Approval of the attached resolution shall authorize the South Miami City
Manager to enter into the attached agreement extending the originally approved CDBG award
from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2011 and accepting additionally awarded funding in
the amount of $50,000 to be disbursed by Miami -Dade County on a reimbursable expenditure
basis (See Exhibit B).
It should also be noted that during the January 11, 2011 Meeting of the SMCRA, a subsequent
lighting improvement report was presented to the SMCRA Board. The lighting analysis was
developed by the City of South Miami Police Department. The report highlighted several
additional areas in the SMCRA in dire need of lighting improvements based on quality of life and
safety concerns for all area residents (See Exhibit Q. Based on the aforementioned decision to
install standard, low -cost lighting, the City may now have an opportunity to install additional
lighting at other Ivey residential locations. The attached lighting improvement report will
therefore be submitted to Miami -Dade County requesting that any remaining CDBG grant
funding be applied to the lighting improvements in the areas identified in the attached report.

SMCRA D' ectoor STREET LIGHTING
IMPROVEMENTANALYSIS
Improving existing street lighting conditions and quality of life for SMCRA area residents is a
primary objective identified in the Agency's adopted redevelopment plan. Based on this
directive, budgeted funding was previously allocated for lighting improvements along major
roadways in the in the Community Redevelopment Area including Sunset Drive.
The Board recently discussed the importance of improving lighting along secondary roadways
in the SMCRA area. Based on this directive, staff obtained a copy of an illumination
evaluation recently prepared by the South Miami Police Department (See Exhibit A). Each of
the areas identified for lighting improvements was evaluated based on safety, security and
quality of life standpoint.
Contained in this year's budget is funding in the total amount of $100,000 to initiate these
types of lighting improvements. Pending the receipt of consensus from the Board, staff will
pursue the process for implementing street lighting improvements at these specifically
identified locations.

INTER - OFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: Chief Orlando Martinez de Castro
Via chain of command
FROM: Lt. Larry P. Corbin
DATE 12/22/2010
SUBJECT: Illumination Evaluation
An illumination evaluation for the SMCRA Street Lighting Project has been completed as per your
request. The following are the findings and recommendations:
SW 6e St 168th PI to 612 Ct.
There is no lighting at the intersection of SW 58th PI & 681h St, there is an existing street light on
the north east corner which is out. The light bulb needs to be replaced and additional lighting at
the intersection is recommended on the NW corner. This addition would better illuminate the
street and sidewalk area making it safer for both vehicular and pedestrian traffic.
Additional lighting is needed in the 5900 block of SW 68th St, particularly on the north side which
borders the Miami Dade HUD property. The street and sidewalk area is poorly lit.
The intersection of 68th St & 59th PI currently has street lamps on the SW & NW corners. The
lamp on the NW corner is out (needs to be replaced), making the sidewalk & area between 59" PI
& 61st Ct extremely dark. It is also recommended that an additional street lamp be placed on the
N. E. corner of this intersection.
SW 61st Ct 68th St to 66th St
There are several street lamps on the west side of SW 61" Ct which borders the Marshall
Williamson Park. All of these lamps however, are subdued due to the trees which border the
roadway making this area extremely dark for vehicular and pedestrian travel. This area
historically was used for criminal activities, (narcotic sales) and needs better illumination for traffic
& pedestrian safety as well as crime prevention. It is recommended that the trees on the west
side of the roadway be trimmed back as to not subdue the lighting and I further recommend
additional lighting be installed on the east side of SW 615t Ct.
SW 66th St! 61s' Ctto 68'-PI
This area has street lamps along SW 66'" St and for the most part is well illuminated. The only
recommendation for this area would be to place an additional light in front of 6060 SW 66e' St.
The sidewalk at this location is dark due to trees which borders the roadway.
SW 58" Pi / 66ih St to 68'h St
This area is extremely dark as there are no street lamps along SW 58'h PI, which borders the
west side of the South Miami Community Center. There is a lot of pedestrian traffic, many of
which are children, which utilize SW 58"' PI to access the community center. it is recommended
that street lamps be installed in this area for better illumination for the safety of pedestrian traffic
as well as crime prevention.
SW 67'h St! 68'" PI to 58'h PI
There are three street lamps along SW 67'h St on the north side of the roadway, one at 58th pl,
59'h PI, and one in the 5900 block(mid block), which is currently out. This area is extremely dark,
particularly the sidewalk on the south side of SW 67'h St, and is largely due to the trees which
border the roadway on the south side. It difficult to evaluate due to the light mid block being out,
but it is believed that even with that light functioning, illumination on the south side sidewalk
would be inadequate as the trees would subdue the lighting. It is recommended that additional
lighting be place on the south side of SW 67'h st as well. This would make pedestrian traffic safer
as well as assist in crime prevention.
