CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI
OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
M E M O R A N D U M
TO: The Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Commission
FROM: Steven Alexander
DATE: June 19, 2018
SUBJECT: Managers Report
The planned maintenance powerline clearing by FPL for the Third
Quarter of 2018 is shown on the attached maps.
Despite public education efforts by the County and the City,
reminding residents of the items that are acceptable in the County’s
recycling program, many residents are placing items that are
considered contaminants (non-recyclable materials) into the blue
carts. This contamination makes it difficult for the vendor to market
and sell the materials collected in our program thus making the
program more expensive.
To address this concern, County Waste Enforcement Officers will be
looking for carts with visible contamination. Carts that contain visibly
unacceptable materials will be left behind by the collection vendors
and corrective action materials will be placed o n the cart and left
behind at the property by County officers.
Commissioner Liebman is in Medellin Columbia tonight as on Thursday
the City Commission there will vote to approve the Sister City
agreement with South Miami. They are taking this and our
Commissioner seriously as they have taken special action to hire a
translator to ensure that the Commissioners’ remarks are understood
by their elected body and their audience and vice versa. From the
feedback I have received from Commissioner Liebman and the face
to face meeting I had in their Consulate office here, Medellin is looking
forward to working with us, even given the size difference.
