RESOLUTION
A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
SOUTH MIAMI,FLORIDA,SUPPORTING AND ENCOURAGING MIAMI-DADE
COUNTY TO PROVIDE A POINT OF DISTRIBUTION FOR DISASTER RELIEF
SUPPLIES WITHIN THE CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI,PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE
DATE.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
We learned from the tropical storm events of this year that after a hurricane,massive
amounts of supplies such as food,water and ice become available through the effortsof
the State and Federal governments.Miami-Dade County is responsible for determining
the locations for distributing these resources.In selecting specific sites for the "Points
OfDistribution"(POD),the County considers many factors including inputfrom
municipal governments concerning the specific needs ofa particular community.
The number of senior citizens and low income residents in our City who rely on public
transportation is indicative ofa community that isin need ofa "POD"that is more
localized than what was provided during storm events in 2005.
This Resolution is the impetus for the Cityto take steps to obtain the cooperation of the
County in securing a POD site within the Citylimitsof South Miami
RECOMMENDATION
Itis recommended that the City Commission authorize the City Manager to negotiate
with Miami-Dade County fora point of distribution site within the Citylimitsof South
Miami.
