Velma Palmer, Vice Mayor Hon, Marie Birts- Cooper, Commissioner Hon. Craig Z. Sherar, Commissioner Hon. Randy G. Wiscombe, Commissioner FROM: Fausto B. Gomez DATE: May 18, 2004 SUBJECT: Legislative Report I am pleased to present this report detailing the accomplishments of the City of South Miami during the 2004 Florida Legislative Session. As a supplement to my oral presentation, this memorandum will track those issues that the Commission identified as the City's legislative goals at the December 16, 2003 meeting: Stormwater Drainage Improvements, Water Distribution System Improvements, Youth Transportation Initiative, and Park Funding (Murray Park Swimming Pool and Fitness Center and Palmer Park Improvements). In support of these priorities, the City obtained $725,000 for stormwater, secured a $75,000 budget line item for the purchase of a van, and $45 Million is available in the Florida budget for local governments to apply for potable water grants. These successes were primarily due to the efforts of Sens. Alex Diaz de la Portilla and Larcenia Bullard, and Reps. Julio Robaina and Marco Rubio, whom the Mayor, Vice Mayor, Commission, and the City Manager joined. Following are South Miami's legislative priorities and the disposition of them: Legislative Agenda I) Stormwater Drainage Improvements Line Item 2046A of the General Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2004 -05 provides $10 million for "South Florida Flood Mitigation." These dollars are exclusively used for stormwater management and are allocated to various cities in Miami -Dade County by the Legislature. Funding is provided through the South Florida Water Management District. I am pleased to report that South Miami obtained an appropriation of $725,000 from this source. Grant support ranged from a maximum of $800,000 to a minimum of $100,000, and of the twenty -six municipalities assisted, South Miami ranked fourth in the level of support received. Attached is a copy of Line Item 2046A as well as a copy of the final funding list issued by the South Florida Water Management District. II) Water Distribution System Improvements Line Item 1701 of the General Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2004 -05 allocates $45 Million for "Grants and Aids to Local Governments and Nonstate Entities — Drinking Water Facility Construction." These funds will be distributed on a competitive grant basis to local governments around the state. I spoke with Don Berryhill, Bureau Chief of the Division of Water Resource Management, who indicated that the rules, procedures, and notices for the allocation of these dollars are still to be developed. I will follow -up with Mr. Berryhill to assure that South Miami is eligible to apply. Attached is a copy of Line Item 1701. III) Youth Transportation Initiative Line Item 2122E of the General Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2004 -05 appropriates $75,000 for a "Youth Transportation Initiative —City of South Miami." Attached is a copy of Line Item 2122E. IV) Park Fund ins (Murray Park and Palmer Park) State support for fixed capital outlay projects at local parks is allocated through the "Florida Recreation Development Assistance Program" (FRDAP). For Fiscal Year 2004 -05, over $21,000,000 is provided by the Florida Legislature to fund improvements at municipal or county recreational facilities. In order to qualify, local entities must apply to the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) who will review and rank the proposals. The Legislature then considers the funding list submitted by DEP and disposes of it, as it deems appropriate. South Miami has successfully secured funds from FRDAP for various park activities, but was precluded this year from applying due to a previous grant still being open. Legislation of Importance A) Passed I) Windstorm Insurance SB2488 increases the bonding capacity of the Florida Hurricane Catastrophe Fund from $11 billion of $15 billion. This change is intended to augment the availability of homeowners insurance by increasing the capacity of insurance companies to secure reinsurance policies. II) Article V Implementation SB 2962, which implements the Article V provisions, reduces the fee schedule for the enforcement of municipal or county ordinance violations. The legislation enacted last year, but never implemented, provided that a municipality or county would pay $200 to the clerk of the court for the prosecution of same. That fee is reduced to $10. The provisions for a mandatory $40 court cost to the non - prevailing party if the violation is contested in court and the payment of 10% of ordinance violation fines to the clerk of the court remains the same. Ill) Law Enforcement Legal Fees SB 226 will require cities to pay the legal fees incurred by law enforcement Officers who are charged with criminal violations in connection with their work but are found to be innocent. Current law permits cities to already do this, but does not require it. IV) Neighborhood Crime Watch Programs HB511 authorizes municipal police departments to establish neighborhood crime watch programs and provides criminal penalties for the harassment of participants in said programs. B) Failed to Pass I) Cell Phone Tower Sitting SB 2774 and BB 1495 were intended to allow the placement or collocation of cell phone towers exclusive of local government planning and zoning ordinances. The legislation was advocated by the cell phone industry and was the result of a study commissioned by the legislature during last session. Local governments throughout the state opposed these bills and they failed to pass. U Prompt Pav/Retainage SB544 and BB487 would have altered the way contractors, subcontractors, material men, and suppliers were paid and the amount of retainage that could be held on public construction projects. It has been my pleasure to represent the City of South Miami in Tallahassee and am pleased at the success our joint efforts have brought to the citizens of the City. I trust you will not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or desire additional information of the above matters. cc: Maria V.
