The Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Commission

Managers Report
Welcome to our new Commissioner, Luis Gil!
With regard to the clearing of hurricane debris in the canals
throughout the City, I had a productive conversation with Lee Hefty
on behalf of the County who is convening meetings between his staff
(DERM) and the Public Works staffs to address the South Miami
situation relative to cleaning the canals without a local partner. He
did however vocalize his agreement that the County had the
responsibility to clean the hurricane debris in the canals but did not
have a time frame for that process.
In an effort to improve pedestrian safety, the Florida Department of
Transportation (FOOT) District Six is investing $3.2 million in pedestrian
safety lighting improvements at various locations along SR 5/US 1 from
SE 4 Street to SW 344 Street, in Miami-Dade County. Our municipality
falls within the vicinity of these lighting projects. Construction is
expected to begin between February 2019 and August 2019 and last
about six months, per project. The proposed improvements include
upgrading light poles with Light Emitting Diode (LED) fixtures, removing
and/or replacing existing light poles and adding new light poles with
LED fixtures at select signalized intersections with pedestrian crossings
to increase brightness in order to meet the new. FOOT lighting
requirements.
The City of South Miami is proud to announce our new status from the
League of American Bicyclists as the recipient of a Bronze award as a
Bicycle Friendly Community. The Bicycle Friendly Community program
provides a roadmap to improving conditions for bicycling and

guidance to help make each community's vIsion for a better,
bikeable community a reality. There are only 5 other cities in Miami
Dade County that have won recognition from the League of
American Bicyclists for their friendliness to bikes and their riders. There
are currently only 430 recognized Bicycle Friendly Communities in the
entire nation.
K9 bullet proof vest was created and donated by Protect the Paws,
Kathe Holmes. We appreciate her interest in helping us keep our
Police dog, Jack, safe.
The medical marijuana business zoning that the Commission
approved in April has now been by the Florida Legislature as it relates
to local control of location requirements for medical marijuana
facilities. This includes a preemption on location and number of such
facilities.
The Planning Board hearing on the draft revIsions to the
comprehensive plan again on Tuesday, February 27th at 7 pm in the
Commission Chambers. 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.
