MEMORANDUM
The Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Commission

October 5, 2016
Managers Report
We have been watching Hurricane Matthew since this weekend and have
begun preparations although there seems to be only a slight chance that it will
have any significant effect on the City. Governor Scott issued a State of
Emergency on Monday afternoon and since that time, I have directed staff to
fully account for each expenditure that could remotely be attributed to the
storm or preparations for the storm as there is the potential for us to be
reimbursed for such documented expenses.
On Monday we directed staff to begin the heightened process of proactively
searching for and resolving issues such as clogged swales, at risk tree limbs and
the like. All of our vehicles have been topped off with fuel and our generators
have been recently started to ensure proper working conditions are maintained.
Tuesday morning we initiated a cautionary proactive cleaning of 011 storm drains
possible, including addressing all of our over 800 drains as possible. We updated
our inventory of temporary stop signs and added more sand bags to our
available tool set. We reviewed the equipment, timing and steps necessary to
activate our Emergency Operating Center (EOC) and have been in
coordination with the County main EOC and our satellite EOC at Coral Gables.
Our location for issuing supplies such as meals or water will be at the Community
Center if necessary.
Tuesday afternoon the National Hurricane Center issued a Tropical Storm Watch
for Miami-Dade County, consequently the County Emergency Operations
Center (EOC) was activated at a Level 2 (Partial) at 7:00 am Wednesday
morning.
Today based on the 5 am update from the National Hurricane Center, we took
additional preparatory measures especially in our parks. Covering windows on
City owned property was initiated today.
THE CITY OF PI.EASANT I.IVING
CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI
OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
MEMORANDUM
We believe we are ready for a major storm although it appears that this one will
be a good rehearsal for us.
We need to pull item 6 from the agenda as I rejected all bids due to the recent
addition of the security cameras at the Community Center which were not part
of the original scope for this RFP. We will incorporate all necessary security issues
including the pool for maintenance and monitoring.
We need to pull item 7 from the agenda as the applicant has requested a
deferral.
Ricardo Ayala is resigning to take a job at the County, as he believes there is
better chance for advancement in the larger government. We wish him well.
There is a painting in the hallway of City Hall which is very large that we would
like to remove. Sometimes things like this have certain histories that should be
taken into account when considering their future. Should anyone know the
origins or intentions relating to this art work please let the City Managers Office
know as soon as possible.
All non-emergency or non-essential City empl0yees were released at
3 p.m. today after protecting all files and protecting the computers
from water damage with plastic made available from the City.
Additionally, non-emergency or non-essential employees are to stay
home on Thursday, October 6th and Friday, October 7th.
Employees were advised to stay informed by calling the employees hot line
number 305-663-6330.
