Managers Report
Last month we had an Officer of the Month presentation for Sgt Lisa
King. This month the Awards Committee of the Rotary Club of South
Miami has selected Sgt. Lisa King as Officer of the Quarter for 4th
Quarter, 201 7.
One of the issues that has apparently come up during the campaign
season is a question of the validity of traffic impact statements for
proposed developments. Rest assured that as a matter of professional
practice, staff reviews and requires corrections or adjustments to
traffic impact statements submitted by the applicant. We do not
simply rubber stamp or accept as automatically valid any such
submission. Therefore, each proposal comes to the Commission with
a vetted credible traffic impact statement based on City of South
Miami staff review.
We have been preparing to begin the Peak Agenda process which
should bring us a more efficient agenda preparation process for
Commission meetings. We hope that it will reduce the relatively small
number of delays in publication of the agenda.
The Martin Luther King parade is this Saturday.
American Harvest is open at the former New Chinatown restaurant
location. Francesco Balli is a Partner of Grove Bay Group which has
brought this new restaurant to us. Soon another restaurant will open
in the same building, Hank and Harrys which I am informed is a
traditional Jewish style Deli.

OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
THE CITY OF PLEASANT LIVING MEMORANDUM
The South Florida and Treasure Coast Regional Planning Councils,
jointly representing the seven-county region of Monroe through Indian
River counties, having identified affordable housing as a top priority
for the region through Joint Resolution 17-02, and they request your
advocacy and deployment of your state advocacy teams to secure
full funding and appropriation of the State and Local Housing Trust
Funds for housing programs. As you know tax credits are a critical part
of funding affordable housing project including some that have been
proposed for the Madison Square project. These funds are at risk
during the upcoming Legislative Session. The Florida Senate has
proposed the full appropriation of $322.1 million in the state and local
housing trust funds for housing. In contrast, the Florida House of
Representatives has swept $182 million from the housing trust funds
into General Revenue, leaving an appropriation of only $123.63 million
for housing. The lack of sufficient affordable, attainable housing is a
long-term community and economic development challenge that
has been exacerbated by repeated sweeps of more than $1.3 billion
from the State and Local Housing Trust Funds by the Florida Legislature
over the past eleven years to other programs.
The Planning Board hearing on the draft revIsions to the
comprehensive plan on Thursday, February 15 th at 7 pm in the
Commission Chambers. This is the first public hearing; the Commission
will hold two more. The dates for those hearings have not been set,
but we expect them to be held in March. The draft plan can be found
on the City's website, under the Planning Board meeting agenda for
those who want to view it prior to the meetings.
