"If It Isn't Broken..." - The Miami -Dade Case for
Local Control of Workforce Development Services
Florida's Workforce Development services prepare adults for jobs through a mix of vocational
and adult general education programs. Because this training mix overlaps K -12 and post-
secondary education, both school districts and community colleges throughout the state have
historically adapted their service delivery to meet workforce needs.
Importantly, while each Florida county confronts different challenges, there has been no study of
educational governance demonstrating the inherent superiority of either district or community
college services.
By contrast, much evidence suggests that radical changes favoring one system over another
would severely jeopardize the state's bottom -line achievements in educational completion and
job- placement.
The Miami -Dade County model:' a demonstrated role for district services. Miami -Dade County
Public Schools (MDCPS) and Miami -Dade Community College (MDCC) serve local employers
through a pattern of cooperative efforts and articulated programs. Together, the two systems
have responded to the needs of a large and complex urban environment by combining the
resources of 26 adult, skill, and technical education centers and 5 community- college campuses.
The result, according to the latest published data, shows that district programs work well. Indeed,
MDCPS workforce programs by themselves have achieved almost as many job placements as all
community colleges combined. And by focusing on hard -to -serve populations (adults with
disabilities, incarcerated,; migrants, non- English speakers, etc.), MDCPS' programs have
produced more than double the targeted job placements of all community colleges statewide.
One size does not fit all: the danger of legislating workforce "consolidation." In recent
sessions, the Florida Legislature has passed major workforce legislation (SB 1688 and SB 1124)
with common performance and accountability standards in order to stimulate efficiency and
ensure fair competition between all workforce providers. Some recent proposals, however,
would upend this market- driven system by "consolidating" adult 'remedial and vocational
services at the community - college level — a' legislated monopoly that would eliminate many of
the state's most experienced providers and some of its strongest assets.
Performance figures, rather than supporting such radical proposals, in fact underscore that school
districts such as MDCPS are actually more effective at reaching "targeted" populations than
community colleges. More than 50% of academic and vocational program completers at
MDCPS (versus under 20% of MDCC students) are educationally disadvantaged adults who
have been designated by the state as low- skilled in literacy, non- English speaking, or otherwise
hard -to- serve'. Statewide, the charts below indicate that school districts achieve 77% to 87% of
Florida's completion success for targeted adults in vocational and literacy programs,
respectively. The MDCPS share of targeted vocational completions is close to the total share of
all community colleges combined, and MDCPS more than triples the combined colleges in its
share of targeted remedial achievements.
The capacity for change: Who gets left out? Proposals biased towards community colleges
overlook the reasons why disadvantaged adults respond to the availability of diverse public
education alternatives. First, many targeted workforce students need substantial academic
remediation before completing vocational certificates, and thus there is often a degree of
intimidation to re -enter any training program a concern that can be heightened at college-level
institutions. Second, school districts have been able to reach deep into the community to deliver
services via high school- based programs, adult campuses with a reputation for remedial
expertise, and hundreds of outreach classes serving targeted populations through community-
based agencies.
In geographically dispersed Miami -Dade County, the reduction or elimination of district services
would hinder access to training for many students, and would risk the achievements of those who
need it most. The educational infrastructure presently has the demonstrated capacity to serve
hundreds of thousands of adults through the MDCPS network of 26 adult centers, skill centers,
and technical education centers - the majority of which are integrated with K -12 facilities and
the MDCC network of 5 community college facilities. The elimination of local control would
block existing operating efficiencies, reduce locations and classes available to students, and harm
the local economy by cutting hundreds of adult and vocational teaching positions.*
The legislature should resist proposals for radical educational change when no clear problem is
evident, and especially when the changes are likely to result in more harm than good.
* According to a 1998 survey of adult educators administered by Florida International University, the great majority
of 750 respondents worked only part-time in adult education (645 respondents, or 86 %), but the loss of these
positions would create unemployment for over 380 part-time teachers (nearly 60 %) who report this as their
"primary employment." The survey reached over 80% of active teachers in adult basic education, but did not
include vocational teachers whose' positions might also be affected by reduced MDCPS services.
ADDENDUM
Supporting The Governor's Family Literacy Agenda:
Increasing the Integration of Adult and Childhood Programs
A hidden danger of excluding the K -12 system from control of Workforce Development programs
is its effect on children. Improving the integration of adult and childhood education programs is
at the heart of Florida's emerging family literacy agenda, -which has been promoted by Barbara
Bush through the Bush Foundation and supported by Governor Jeb Bush.
Below are excerpts from the National Center for Family Literacy ( "NIFL') website which
emphasize the importance of linking adult and childhood education — rather than creating new
institutional obstacles in terms of benefits to both children and adults
(www faml it. oLglresearch /research. html. ).
WHAT NCFL HAS LEARNED ABOUT SHORT -TERM BENEFITS
Integrated family literacy programming is more effective than traditional ' approaches to adult
education, early childhood education, or stand - alone parent programs for our most vulnerable
adults and children. From the beginning of the Kenan program in 1989, NCFL has .utilized
standardized and teacher -made tests, case studies, anecdotal records, parent surveys and
interviews, and staff observations to evaluate all aspects of the program. The early findings
indicated that both adults and their children made important gains as a result of attending family
literacy programs:
• Parents who made a commitment to attend regularly made significant improvements in
academic performance, in their relationships with their children and with other adults, and
in their view of themselves. Even though the average reading and math scores were
between the 6th and 7th grade level, 30% of adult students either received GED
certification during the program year, passed parts of the exam, or had scheduled
the exam at the end of the program year.
• By the end of the program year, more than 90 % of formerly "at- risk" children were
judged by their teacher as ready for entry into kindergarten with no expected academic
or social difficulties. These children demonstrated significant growth in behavior, use of
language, and development of pre- academic skills. Breaking the Cycle of Illiteracy: The
Kenan Family Literacy Model Program (NCFL, 1989).
The Kenan model was expanded nationally in 1991 with the Toyota Families for Learning
Program (TFLP). The findings produced from 15 cities (sample size: n = 500) demonstrated the
need to approach these problems from the comprehensive family perspective of the Kenan
model:
i
• Adults participating in family literacy programs showed greater gains in literacy than
adults in adult- focused programs.
• Participants in family literacy programs were less likely to drop out of the program than
were participants in adult focused programs.
• Children participating in family ;literacy programs demonstrated greater gains than
children in child- focused programs.
• More educationally supportive home environments were reported by parents in family
literacy programs than when they entered the program. The Power of Family Literacy
(NCFL, 1996).
Parental involvement is perhaps the most important indicator of the success of family
literacy programs. Ideally, adults and children both improve in literacy ability, and lifestyle
changes should be occurring in parent /child interactions so that learning gains can be maintained
and extended independently by families. Mikulecky and Lloyd, in a study of NCFL programs in
Atlanta, Rochester, Fort Wayne, Nashville, and Richmond (n = 133) demonstrated through
comparisons made at time of entry and time of exit that:
1) Parents provided a wider range of reading and writing materials at home for their
children
2) Parents engaged in a wider range of reading and writing activities with their children at
home, drawing and writing with their children and using educational materials and games;
3) Parent -child talk about manners and hygiene involved more explaining and less direct
instruction.
4) Parents and children played together with toys or games about 30 %more often.
5) Parents displayed children's drawings and writings at home 20% more often, every 4 to 5
days.
6) Children saw their parents engage in a wider range of reading and writing activities at
home.
7) Parents became increasingly aware that children can learn through play and do not need to
be taught or controlled by adults. Mikulecky and Lloyd. ( 1995). Evaluating Parent/Child
Interactions in Family Literacy Programs
Parental involvement in education increases: The NCFL Parent Survey, adapted from the
work of Mikulecky and Lloyd, shows practically and statistically significant gains (p < 0.003, n
1100) in the frequency that parents:
• talk to their school -age children's teacher
•
talk to their children about their day
• read or look at books with children
• are seen reading or writing by their children
• take their children to the library
• volunteer at school
• help children with homework
• attend school activities (analysis of NCFL primary database, 1997)
{ Using well- established, statistically reliable psychological self- assessments, preliminary NCFL
research shows that parents demonstrate statistical and practical gains in:
parenting efficacy
1 • internal locus of control
• self- esteem (Analysis of NCFL primary database, 1997).
Retention rates are greater for family literacy programs than for stand -alone programs: 73% of
the families complete the program year, enroll in another educational or training program, or
get a job (Analysis of NCFL primary database, 1997).
. ,.._
WHAT NCFL HAS LEARNED ABOUT LONG -TERM IMPACTS
I,
In NCFL's first follow -up study, 53 adults and 98 children were evaluated after leaving the
Kenan program:
• One year after leaving the program, 66% of adults were either enrolled or had definite
plans for enrolling in some form of higher or continuing education program or were
employed.
35% were employed, while fewer than 10 % were employed at the time they enrolled-in the
program.
• After two years, none of the children had been held back in school.
• Over three - fourths of these children were rated by their current kindergarten or grade - school
teacher as average or above average on academic performance, motivation to learn, support
from parents, relations with other students, attendance, classroom behavior, self confidence,
and probable success in school. Follow -up Study of the Impact of the Kenan Trust Model for
Family Literacy (NCFL, 1991).
In follow -up studies of 200 representative families in four states KY NC HI and NY one to
six years after attending family literacy programs, NCFL has documented these enduring effects:
• 51 %° of the adult students have received a high school equivalency certificate;
• 43% are employed, compared to 14 % before enrolling;
• 13% have enrolled in higher education or training programs and another 11 %° are
continuing in Adult Education programs working toward GED certification;
• Dependence on public assistance has been reduced by 50%
The present primary teachers rate almost 80 % of former family literacy children at or above
the class average on such factors as attendance, classroom behavior, relations with other
children, motivation to learn, family support for education, and probability of success in
school.

Currently, school districts receive over 57% of all workforce training dollars in the State
and earned over 80% of all the performance points in certificate programs and
over 78% of the performance points in adult high school. School districts have a proven
track record in delivering quality literacy programs as evidenced by providing over 80 %
of all adult literacy programs in Florida.
REQUESTED ACTION
To oppose any effort by the State Legislature to assign the Community College System
control of the delivery of post secondary workforce education programs. This issue is one
of local decision and must not be mandated by the State. Local control of the delivery of
post secondary education programs and instruction is critical if we are to meet the eco-
nomic development and training needs of business and industry. This decision is best
made by those individuals that are affected most. "Those individuals are the local busi-
nesses and industries that are located in our communities and served on a daily basis.
Currently, Florida has a dual delivery system in place. This system has demonstrated that
it can and does work efficiently and effectively. No study of governance of post second-
ary education in Florida has concluded that one system is superior over the other. There
is no rationale or argument that can be made to consolidate this successful model to a
mandated single delivery system under Community College control.
SUMMARY
The real issue is not one of mission creep, disjointed economic development efforts or
who should deliver workforce education programs, but rather one of providing quality
technical education programs to meet the diverse needs of our citizens and business/
industry alike.
We need to concentrate our combined efforts and resources on developing instructional
programs and educational initiative's at the local level to strengthen Florida's position as a
State that can meet the workforce needs of the new millennium.

From the Bureau of Community Services
Miami -Dade County Public Schools
December , 1999
At the November Trustees meeting, Joe Mathos requested that we contact
Carrie Mickey and obtain information on the adult education legislative
issues
Therefore, attached you will find that requested information.
If you are interested in communicating with your legislators, the issue is
that we in Miami -Dade County want to keep a dual delivery system for adult
education whereby Miami -Dade Community College and Miami -Dade County
Public Schools both provide adult education training. The move to ONLY
allow the community colleges to provide adult education programming has
resurfaced in Tallahassee. Information on this issue is attached.
You may communicate as a private citizen as the Coalition can not lobby for
issues due to the tax status.
Happy Holidays and best wishes for a wonderful, brand new century!

Miatni -®ade County Public Schools Rationale
The current dual delivery system in Hiami -Dade County, with Miami -Dade Community
College and Miami -Dade County P lblic Schools offering postsecondary workforce
education programs, should be maintained because of the unique characteristics of our
county. Eliminating the ability of thi: school district to offer workforce development
programs is not the answer.
In the spirit of trying to balance` politicsil forces with that which is prudent, it is in the best
interest of all parties — government, education, and the population being served -to
preserve the current dual delivery sy:;tem because it provides the best delivery of the
competitive intent that is stated in legit lation. It is very difficult to have competition when
there is only one player.
Each region has its own unique needs. and intentions. The regional leadership is much
closer to the population than any entity Therefore, it is reasonable to assign the decision
making regarding preservation of the dual ' delivery system or the orderly transition to a
single delivery system at the local level.
Eliminating workforce development programs from the school districts will result in the
following:
1. Removes the link between high f .choolshousing adult centers and the adult centers
that collaborated in providing 'a.id sharing equipment and materials for stronger,
more beneficial academic and applied technology programs.
2. Creates an overwhelming burden on institutions' capability to collect accurate data
needed for statewide accountatifitypurposes_
3. Places responsibility for serving all adults with disabilities on one institution. This
includes students with moderate, severe, and profound disabilities who will be
unable to succeed in the workfo rce.
4. Reduces program availability in locations within close proximity to students' place
of residence. Miami -Dade Cou ity Public Schools has 27 facilities in addition to
numerous satellite centers.
5. May eliminate the adult high school credit program. Presently, adult centers are
equipped to offer all high schcol classes available for high school graduation
including required laboratories acid other facilities. Are community colleges in such
a position to do so?
6_ Eliminates the convenience of identifying appropriately certified teachers from the
K -12 program housed in the same school facility to serve as part-time hourly
teachers in the adult education program.

7. Miami -Dade County Public Schools' data collection system is fully geared for
Department of Education date transmissions, edit checking, and corrections.
Current procedures are in place for testing, placement, progress tracking, and data
capturing for any and all Workforce Development Information ` System' fields_
Automated data collection and reporting systems are in development for Internet-
based studenttracking and reporting. Additionally, several auditable documents are
imaged and /or stored in electronic format in order to minimize paper flow.
Community colleges are still lillht years behind in data collection for Workforce
Development Information Systems.
8. Prevents the implementation cf specialized technical programs that have been
developed and equipped to meetthe needs of local business at technical education
centers.
9_ Vocational Education for Students of Other Languages /English as a Second
Language (V €SOUESOL) instruction is geared for our large immigrant population.
Instruction is centered on workforce skills that adults traditionally would seek at the
district level rather than in a coll+a-ge setting_ Community College ESOL instruction
is more focused on "college- kound" academic instruction which only a small
percentage of our population requires.
10. Adult General Education (AGE) and vocational district completion percentages have
increased each term for 1998 -99 Workforce Development' Information System

11. Miami -Dade County Public Schools has a large investment in training for high -end
vocational programs. e.g., G. T. Baker — Aviation, The English Center—Computer
Networking, Miami Lakes Technical Education Center Toyota, Robert Morgan
Vocational Technical Institute -- Honda.
12. Analysis of Workforce Develop nent information System data at the state level
shows that local school districts h ave consistently outperformed community colleges
in performance and placement cif students in Adult General Education Programs.
13. Miami -Dade County Public Schools offers industry- sponsored programs which
include the Honda- PACT, Maytag. Xerox Digital Production Center, Cisco System,
Kelly Tractor, and Toyota.
14. Apprenticeship programs are off ,,red in the following occupational areas: carpentry,
electrical wiring, plumbing, painting and decorating.
15. Miami -Dade County Public Schools technical centers have received state funding
to establish Centers of 'Emphas s in the following areas: Electronics, Automotive,
Health Science, and Business Technology.

REQUEST
A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA RELATING TO THE ACCEPTANCE OF THE FEDERAL
DRUG CONTROL AND SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM GRANT FY 2000 OF
$5,135.00; AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE APPLICABLE
CONTRACTS AND DOCUMENTS; `DESIGNATING $1,711.00 FROM ACCOUNT
NUMBER 1910- 521 - 1410, ENTITLED "REGULAR OVERTIME BUDGET OF THE
POLICE DEPARTMENT," AS THE 'MATCHING FUNDS REQUIRED BY THE
GRANT; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
On May 12, 1999, the Police Department made application for the Federal Drug Control
and System Improvement Program Grant. On October 5, 1999, we received the award
letter from Miami -Dade County.
The attached Resolution is an effort by the Police Department to secure federal funding
under the Federal Drug Control and System Improvement Program Grant through Miami -
Dade County to re- energize and expand public awareness of crime prevention within the
community.
In the early 1980's, a substantial increase in the crime rate in the City of South Miami led
to one initiation of several crime prevention efforts relating to Citizens Crime Watch.
Members of the Police Department helped organize several neighborhood crime watch
groups and met with local merchants groups to promote Business Crime Watch
programs. After achieving success in the mid- 1980's, utilizing these programs resources
were reallocated as apathy set in.
In the ensuing years the Police Department has realized a steady increase in crime and
lack of community involvement in the area of crime prevention. It is the desire of the
Police Department to re- energize the cooperation of it's 'residents in crime prevention
and expand public awareness to all segments of the City. The acceptance of this grant
would assist in re- energizing this program.
The matching funds would come from the existing overtime budget, the line item
"Overtime (1910- 521 - 1410).

Program Area: COMMUNITY POLICING Program Dates: 10/01/99 -- 09/30/00
Program Name: South Miami Community Policing Revitalization Target Population: City Residents
Problem Identification
In the early 1980's a substantial increase in the crime rate in the City of South Miami led to the initiation of
several crime prevention efforts relating to Citizens Crime Watch. Members of the police department helped
organize several neighborhood crime watch groups and met with local merchant groups to promote Business
Crime Watch programs. After achieving success in the mid- 1980's utilizing these program, resources were
' reallocated as apathy set in.
Previous Activities in this Purpose Area/Unmet Needs
In the ensuing years, the South Miami Police Department has realized a steady increase in crime and the lack of
community involvement in the area of crime prevention. It is the desire of the South Miami Police Department
to re- energize the cooperation of it's residents in crime prevention and expand public awareness to all segments
of the city.
Demographic Data
Based upon 1990 US Census data, South Miami has a population of 10,404. 21 % of its population are children
under 17. 46% of the City's families have children, 14% of those are families headed by female. Of those
families, 41 %o are poor.
Program Description
In this new program year, the South Miami Police Department will implement a Citizens Crime Watch Program
that will offer services targeted at the various needs of the community. Officers will target specific
neighborhoods and arrange crime watch/ prevention meetings in a different area every two weeks. The
neighborhood Crime Watch program will support five programs during each of these meetings.
j
Combat Auto Theft (CAT) - This program will target the problem of auto theft, by registering vehicles and
affixing decals to cars that should not be on the road between the hours of 1a.m. and 5a.m.
Household Efforts Against Theft (BEAT) - This two part program involves the pre- registration of residences
to decrease police response time when answering a call, in addition, police personnel will provide home security
surveys for community residents.
Business Efforts Against Theft (BEAT) - This program offers the same services as HEAT, except services are
aimed at the business community.
Senior Citizen Assistance Notification (SCAN) - Targeting seniors who live alone, this program will develop a
communications system that will allow the police department to monitor senior citizens and assist them with
some of their needs.
Watch Orders - Residents will be encourage to inform the police department of times when they are away form
home. These homes will be checked periodically by officers on duty.

INTER- OFFICE MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor and City Commission Date: December 17, 1999
Agenda Item #
From: Charles Scurr el� Re: Comm. Mtg. 12/21`/99
City Manager Telecommunications Equipment
REQUEST
Approval of. (a) the acquisition of telecommunications equipment necessary to expand the City's
existing system in an amount not to exceed $ 17,000.00; (b) the selection of BellSouth for the
acquisition and installation; and (c) the extension of the existing lease with BSFS for this
equipment
BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS
The City acquired an upgrade to our telephone system in 1998. Due to financial constraints the
system was sized to meet existing needs. It was recognized that future growth would require
additional components beyond the base equipment acquired.
The City has now maximized the current equipment and it is necessary to purchase expansion
elements to the system. The new components are needed for several additional employees
approved in the FY 1999 -2000 budget and for increased telecommunications needs overall for
voice and data capability.
The equipment requested includes a telephone cabinet, two cards, software, installation,
telephone sets, programming changes and shipping fees for the city hall and the police
department telephone system. The two cards included should provide sufficient expansion
capability for the next two years. The cabinet included will allow for significant expansion
beyond that time with the addition of network cards and handsets.
BellSouth is the recommended vendor for the upgrades. The existing system is a BellSouth
purchased and installed system. The use of an alternate vendor for the upgrades would create
untenable service, warranty and reliability problems.
Presently there are 35 months remaining in our lease with BSFS Equipment Leasing for our
original equipment. An addendum from BSFS was requested. They have estimated a monthly
increase amount of $600.00 to be added to our current lease of $1,434.00.
The funds to pay for this lease will be divided between the Police Department and Non Dept.
Budgets as follows:
Police Department Equipment Lease Purchase, Account No. 1910 -521- 4440, $300.00 per month.
Non Departmental Telephone Lease Purchase, Account No. 2100 -519 -4440, $300.00 per month

Dear Kathy,
In providing you with a proposal for expansion and addition to your Telephone System, I have included
pricing for new Digital telephone sets. I would like to take this opportunity to advise you that I am also able
to provide refurbished sets more cost effectively. They would be covered under your Maintenance Contract
as any other equipment.
The cost for these Refurbished Sets is as follows: 2616 Digital - $400.00
New : 524.90
Installation, programming and shipping charges remain constant.
The order for Refurbished Sets would need to be placed on a secondary order (Purchase Order from the
City of South Miami). The net effect would be a decrease in required funds to accomplish your needs.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. Should you have any concerns or questions, please do not
hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely .
I, Wright

As you know BellSouth came by to install the jacks in Gremafs and Fatools office. Apparently we have two phone rooms
one in City hall & one in Rm. 133 in the P.D. Dept. She suggested we call our telephone vendor and have them run a Tie
Cable from one phone Rm. to another. This is the only way they will be able to install those phone jacks and transfer
those lines to the P.D. Building. I asked why they couldn't do it and she said it would cost us an enormous amount of
money. Our vendor should be able to do it, and maybe for free.

From: Kathy Vazquez Re: Bellsouth
Central Services Specialist
On Tuesday October 6, while I was on vacation the Police Department's telephone system was
down for three hours. The emergency line (crisis link) that is supposed to be activated in case of
an emergency was also down. Apparently, Per Lisa Corbin, Bellsouth has admitted that they
were having line problems.
On Monday October 12, Mayor Robaina made me aware of this situation. I then contacted
George Grace who responded quickly by showing up. I expressed my disappointment in their
service and again requested a study of citywide telephone system focusing on growth and of
course, money. He stated that he would contact Evelyn's boss and set up a meeting with a new
proposal within a few weeks.
Meanwhile, later that afternoon a Bellsouth technician showed up to install five lines previously
requested. One for Greg Oravec, two for Gremaf and two for Kristen in the Police Department.
To my amaze, the city has no ports available. Therefore, the technician cancelled the order and
left. At this point, I raised hell! Evelyn called me within the hour and later Larry Wright called
me and within two hours advised me that since we are maxed out, our only solution is to add a
cabinet and a card. A cabinet holds ten cards and each card has 16 ports (16 lines). This can be
installed approximately 2 -3 weeks after receipt of a purchase order.
I am currently in receipt of additional requests from Parks and Recreation and Police
Department. Three lines for the Sylva Martin building and two lines for the Lieutenants office.
With this request, over half of a new card will be in use.
I have discussed with Evelyn, future Internet connection that Gremaf estimates 8 -10 lines being
available. Per Evelyn not all modem lines are going through the board. However, she will
investigate. Orlando Martinez had brought to my attention the Public Works lines (opx's) that
were no longer being used, however, Frank the technician said no, everything was being used. In
fact, the only one he found not used was the one in Planning Dept. X6327 that will be issued to a
new planner within a month. I have also found that there are three ports in Human resources
office. Jeanette stated the need of a fax machine, If you approve this, there will be one port left.
Larry Wright from Bellsouth will provide an inventory of our switch. Once this is received I will
verify all extension numbers being used and paid for.
After the brief education I have received in the past couple of months on our current telephone
system, I do not believe it would be cost effective to go back and turn the whole city digital. A
quick estimate of this conversion would cost approximately $35,000.00 in equipment.
However, I do believe that future requests should be digital and city should budget accordingly
for the cost of the equipment.
I am recommending the following, as an immediate solution to our current problem. I consider
this solution to be cost effective due to our current and future growth.
• Add a cabinet $1,642.55
• Opt 11c software up issue $ 714.15
• Add two cards (one digital and one analog) $4,999.06
• Installation/Programming $ 786.88
Shipping $ 56.00
Total $8,198.64
If this is approved, the analog card will be installed immediately and the digital will be available
but not installed until needed. This will avoid Maintenance fees on that card until it is used.
I have attached a copy of the quote for your review. This item will have to go before the
commission for a resolution. Please let me know when we can meet to discuss.

INTER - OFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Commission DATE: December 21, 1999
FROM: Charles D. Scurr SUBJECT: Agenda Item # ,�
City Manager Commission Meeting,
December 21, 1999
AUTHORIZATION OF THE CITY
MANAGER TO ENTER INTO A
CONTRACT WITH MC HARRY &
ASSOCIATES, INC., TO
PRRPARE ENGINEERING PLANS
AT A COST NOT TO EXCEED
$14,200.00.
REQUEST
The attached resolution seeks approval to allow the City Manager to enter into a contract with
MC Harry & Associates, Inc. to prepare engineering plans for drainage and traffic calming
improvements at the intersection of SW 74th Street & SW 59th Avenue, based upon a schematic
design prepared by Public Works.
It should be noted that this "not to exceed" contract amount includes two line -item services that
may not be required for this project (Task 1 and Task 2 in the MC Harry proposal), which were
included in the proposal for contingency reasons. If these services are not required, the
engineering costs will not exceed $7,700. 00 (Tasks 2 and 3).'
The proposal was written this way so that it would have the flexibility to address both the typical
(i.e., $7,700.00) and the "worst case" design scenarios (i.e., $14,200.00) without having to stop
the project for commission reauthorization, if such additional services were required.
Accordingly, each service was itemized as a "lump sum" amount, contingent upon authorization
of that service. Administration will closely supervise the consultants to ensure that the design
costs are minimized.
BACKGROUND
An increase of commercial traffic along SW 74th Street can be expected with the opening of the
Sunset Theater, the 57th Court Office Building, and after the installation of a traffic signal at Red
Road and 74th Street. In addition, because SW 59th Avenue connects the downtown district to
SW 801h Street, this roadway is a convenient "cut- through" route for commuters. These factors
necessitate proactive action to 'protect the residential neighborhood immediately south of the
central commercial district.
/continued ....
Mayor and City Commission
MC Harry & Associates, Inc. Resolution
December 21St, 1999
Page 2 of 2
Attached is a schematic drawing developed by Public Works for "traffic calming" at the key
downtown intersection of SW 59th Avenue and SW 74th Street, the demarcation line between the
commercial and residential districts. The project will also address long- standing drainage
problems along the 5900 and 5800 blocks of SW 74th "Street (north side of the street).
Attached is a memo to the ERPB which provides a detailed summary of the project objectives,
the proposed landscaping improvements, and other background information. The ERPB was to
hear this item the morning of the 21St; a verbal report on the ERPB's comments will be provided
at the commission meeting.
ANALYSIS
The attached resolution authorizes the City Manager to enter into a contract with MC Harry &
Associates, Inc. to prepare engineering plans based upon the schematic drawing prepared by
Public Works. MC Harry & Associates, Inc., is one of the three pre- approved engineering firms
to perform work on behalf of the City, per Resolution No. 30 -96 -9783.
The total expenditure would not exceed $14,200. 00, and the disbursement would come from the
"State Grant", account No. 111 - 0000 - 219 -1810. This account currently has a balance of
$88,559.
RECOMMENDATION
Due to the future increase of commercial activity along SW 74th Street, approval of the attached
resolution is recommended in order to provide the necessary roadway infrastructure
improvements at this critical intersection.

CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI PUBLIC WORKS DEPARTMENT
MEMORANDUM
TO: Environmental Review & DATE: December 13, 1999
Preservation Board '(ERPB)
Via: Fernando J. Rodrigue
Public Works' Director
FROM: David K. Go d* SUBJECT: ; Traffic Calming Project
Project Manager SW 59th Avenue & 74th St.
INTRODUCTION
Attached for your review is a proposal to modify a key intersection at the border of our
downtown district in order to beautify, to disincline residential cut - through traffic, and to
increase vehicular and pedestrian safety.
BACKGROUND
The impetus for this project is stormwater drainage problems at and near this intersection.
However, as it is the philosophy with the Public Works Department, this drainage project is also
an opportunity to achieve other design goals at the same time.
As you know, SW 74th Street is the delimiting line between the commercial district to the north
and the residential neighborhoods to the south. SW 74th Street therefore receives a heavy mix of
both residential and commercial traffic, as well as significant pedestrian movement. - (This traffic
flow can also be expected to increase once the Sunset Theater and the 57th Court Office Building
are constructed.) Also, as you also know, SW 59th Avenue is a heavily traveled road due to its
direct access to both the downtown district and SW 80th Street, a' key commuter route. These
factors make the SW 59th Avenue / SW 74th Street a key intersection for civil lannin purposes.

PROJECT GOALS
Several traffic calming plans were examined, such as round -a -bouts and medians, but were found
to be infeasible or impractical. Therefore, an alternate plan was developed encompassing the
following, project goals:
1) To re -align the east/west approaches for vehicular safety, and to produce a traffic calming
effect via the bends in the roadway.
2) To constrict the roadway width to the appropriate 20' at certain approaches to a,produce
traffic calming effect.
r
3) To shorten pedestrian crossing distances for safety.
4) To "disguise SW 59th Avenue from appearing to be a tempting cut- through route out of
the commercial district. This would be accomplished by deliberately mis- aligning
59th Avenue south of 74th Street (so drivers cannot see straight through to 801h Street) by
moving the on- street parking from the west side of the street to the east side (this deflects
the traffic lanes to the west, producing a traffic calming bend in the road).
5) To reinforce the residential nature of this street through landscaping improvements.
6) To remedy the stormwater drainage problems at this intersection.
PROPOSED LANDSCAPING
The landscaped islands used to constrict the roadway are a key design feature. However, to
prevent the landscaping from being run - over, a "vertical element" such as trees are needed to
visually distinguish these areas (a vehicular safety consideration as well). Due to line -of -sight
and vehicular hazard concern, the only non - groundcover landscaping that can be planted (i.e.,
taller than 21/2') are solitaire palms. These palms are ideal because they are no more obstructive
to the line -of -sight than sign posts, and they have a trunk caliper no greater than 3 ", and therefore
I they meet FDOT "break- away" regulations.
The landscaping concept for the groundcover is to "blanket" the islands with creeping periwinkle
I (both white and pink flower varieties), and have lavender periwinkle on 6" earthen terraces
around the palm bases. The choice of periwinkle is ideal due to its tolerance for a variety of sun
and moister conditions, and for its conspicuous flowers.

PROPOSED DRIVEWAY APPROACH CLOSURE
A privately -owned parking lot exists at 5900 SW 74th Street, next to the proposed intersection
improvements. This parking lot has two entrances on 74th Street, each twenty feet wide. In
order to create the landscaped island on 74th Street shown on the attached sketch, it will be
necessary to permanently close the easternmost driveway approach (this will not significantly
hinder the use of the parking lot). , A letter has been sent to the property owner to garner their
opinion on this proposal. Hopefully, we will have their response in time for the ERPB meeting
on the 21 st
WINN DIXIE DRAINAGE IMPROVEMENTS
The ERPB should be aware that during the course of this project, it was discovered that rooftop
rainwater from the Winn 'Dixie store was being discharged to the public right -of -way,
compounding the drainage problems in the street. In addition, it was also discovered that Winn
Dixie has an existing drainage system that conveys stormwater to a drainage system in SW 74th
Street, a violation of current stormwater disposal regulations:
Winn Dixie has indicated that they have retained consultants to address these drainage problems.
Therefore, the ERPB can expect to see a proposal from Winn Dixie to improve the aesthetics
along their southern building wall (in conjunction with the drainage improvements) in the near
future.
CLOSING REMARKS
Contingent upon ERPB approval of this traffic calming and landscaping proposal, an item on the
City Commission meeting agenda for December 21" will name an engineering firm to finalize
the plans for construction. In order to "fast track" this project for construction, it is hoped that
the ERPB will be able to evaluate and approve this proposal that same morning. Specifically, the
ERPB approval' is sought for the following:
1) The "traffic calming" proposal.
2) The landscaping proposal.
3) The closure of the driveway` approach for the 5900 SW 74th Street parking lot.
Thank you.

CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI
INTER - OFFICE MEMORANDUM
To: Mayor & City Commission Date: December 171999
From: Charles D. Scurr Agenda Item # 13,
City Manager Re: Comm. Mtg. 12-21-99
LDC Amendment:
Hometown Overlay
REQUEST:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA,
RELATING TO THE HOMETOWN DISTRICT OVERLAY ORDINANCE; AMENDING CHAPTER 20 OF THE CITY
OF SOUTH MIAMI LAND DEVELOPMENT CODE, BY REVISING SECTIONS 20 -7.1 AND 20 -7.2, IN ORDER TO
CLARIFY THE TITLE AND INTENT OF THE HOMETOWN DISTRICT OVERLAY, TO PLACE THE OVERLAY ON
THE CITY'S OFFICIAL ZONING MAP, AND ADD STANDARDS PERTAINING TO HEIGHT, DENSITY,
INTENSITY, AND MIXED USE, AS REQUIRED BY PROVISIONS OF THE CITY'S COMPREHENSIVE PLAN;
PROVIDING FOR ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT, SEVERABILITY, AND PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
The attached ordinance amending the Hometown District (HD) Overlay zone is a result of
amendments made to the City's Comprehensive Plan. As part of the Evaluation and Appraisal process
(1995 -96) the City reduced the number of commercial land use categories and created a new overall
mixed use commercial /residential land use category. This category is primarily implemented by the
Hometown District Overlay zone.
The Florida Department of Community Affairs in 1997 advised the City that the new land use category
must contain specific densities for residential and commercial uses, as well as a specific range of how
the mixed land uses would be distributed in a project. In 1998, the City adopted an ordinance
amending the Comprehensive Plan to include the general wording describing the mixed use standards..
Florida Statutes require that the Land Development Code must be amended to contain the same
Comprehensive Plan standards. The attached ordinance makes the necessary changes to reflect the
Comprehensive Plan language. The ordinance also places the HD Overlay zone on the City's Official
i
Zoning Map..
This item was approved on first reading by the City Commission at its November 2, 1999, meeting.
The Planning Board at its November 9, 1999 meeting deferred action on the proposed ordinance.and
requested staff to make the LDC regulations on mixed uses more specific than the Comprehensive
Plan language. The City Commission deferred second reading of the ordinance at its December 7„ 1999
meeting.
Attached is a revised ordinance which contains proposed percentages of mixed uses which would be
required for any retail or office projects. These revisions are shown in italics as part of Section 20 -7.2
(E), page 2 of the proposed ordinance. The Planning Board also expanded the language of the same
section in order to clarify the intent of the Hometown Overlay Zone.This revision is shown in italics as
part of Section 20 -7.2 (A) page 2 of the proposed ordinance. The Planning Board approved the
proposed ordinance, as amended, by a vote of 5 -0 at its November 30,1999 meeting.
It is imortant to note that the proposed revisions are of a technical nature and do not change any
of the existing regulations

City Manager Corrective Ordinance
Abandonment of Right -of Way
REQUEST:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA, RELATING TO THE ABANDONMENT OF RIGHT-OF-
WAY, AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 33 -80 -1092 IN ORDER TO CORRECT AN
ERRONEOUS REFERENCE TO TRACT 111 AND TRACT 114 TO READ TRACT 11
AND TRACT 14 OF THE REVISED PLAT OF A PORTION OF THE AMENDED

OF THE PUBLIC RECORDS OF MIAMI -DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA, PROVIDING
FOR ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT, SEVERABILITY, AND PROVIDING AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS:
In 1980, the City of South Miami approved by ordinance the abandonment of a certain
section of unimproved right-of-way in the Palm Miami Heights subdivision along SW 60
Avenue. The property was located between two tracts of land, specifically Tracts 11 and
14. The ordinance adopted in 1980 erroneously referenced these tracts as Tracts l 11 and
114. - Attached is a letter from a representative of the property owner requesting that the
City correct the ordinance. The only method to make the correction is to adopt, on two
readings, a new ordinance which sets forth the correct identification of the two tracts.
The Planning & Zoning Department has prepared the attached ordinance.
The ordinance was approved on first reading by the City Commission at its December 7'
1999 meeting.

CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI
OINTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM
To Mayor and City Comm'n Date: November 11, 1999
Charles Scurr, City Manager`
Ronetta Taylor, City Clerk Ir -
From: Earl G. Gallop Re: Proposed Ordinance —
Prohibited Campaign Contributions
By Vendors
Subject: The proposed ordinance prohibits campaign contributions by vendors
of the City of South Miami, directly or indirectly, to candidates for elective office, prohibits
candidates from receiving contributions from vendors, directly and indirectly, provides
penalties for each person who violates the prohibition, disqualification of persons who make
campaign contributions to successful` candidates from being <a vendor for a period of 6
months following election, and forfeiture of illegal contributions to the city's general revenue
fund.
Discussion: The experience of the mayor and city commissioners has shown that in
the City of South Miami, a municipality with a relatively small population, vendors of the
city who can marshal substantial amounts of campaign contributions to selected candidates
can have a significant effect on the outcome of municipal elections. The mayor and
commissioners, have been concerned for some time that such ability to marshal money for
choserrcandidates can create an environment in which the candidate is expected to give the
vendor political favors, in the nature of approval of contracts, or creates the appearance of
impropriety and public corruption. The purpose of the ordinance is to reduce the potential
influence of vendors on elections and on the subsequent awarding of contracts.
The mayor and city commission recognizes that any regulation of campaign financing
affects first amendment rights of electors. The city has the power to adopt an ordinance that
is narrowly tailored to achieve a compelling governmental interest. The proposed ordinance
is directed only to vendors, to persons who act on behalf of vendors, and to candidates, to
prohibit them from giving, soliciting, and accepting contributions from vendors.
Mayor and City Comm'n
November 11, 1999
Page 2
Administration: The proposed ordinance will be an amendment to the existing
conflict of interest and code of ethics ordinance. Violations may be investigated and
prosecuted by the city manager and city attorney, the city commission, or the Miami -Dade
County Commission on Ethics and Public Trust. At the time an alleged violation occurs, this
commission can determine the appropriate body to investigate and prosecute the matter.
Since the proposed' ordinance imposes fines for violations, it is important for the city
manager to develop a list of approved vendors, and for the city manager, and,' or, the city
clerk to give written notice of the prohibitions to candidates and to vendors of the city.
Recommendation: Approval of the proposed ordinance.

20 Whereas, the Mayor and City Commission of the City of South Miami recognize
21 that political speech and political association are fundamental rights protected by the First
22 Amendment of the United States Constitution; and
23 Whereas, the Mayor and City Commission of the City' of South Miami further
24 recognize that persons have an absolute right to support political ideas and that the right
25 . to support political candidates is subject to the qualified power to the City to adopt and
26 enforce requirements that are narrowly tailored to accomplish a legitimate, compelling
27 government interest; and
28 Whereas, Florida law limits individual campaign contributions to $500.00 per
p 29 person for any candidate and the City has further limited campaign contributions to
30 $250.00 per person for any candidate for elective municipal office; and
ff
I Whereas, the Mayor and City Commission desire to protect the integrity of the
2 electoral process for candidates for elective municipal office in which candidates who
3 lack substantial personal or family wealth must depend on the financial contributions of
4 supporters to provide the funds necessary to conduct a successful campaign; and
5 Whereas, the making ' of campaign contributions by vendors of the City to
6 candidates for Mayor and Commissioner carriers a suggestion that the candidate, if
7 elected, might give quid pro quo favors to the vendors; and
$ Whereas, the granting of quid pro quo favors to vendors is improper and corrupt,
9 and the mere appearance of granting such favors undermines the confidence of the public
10 in our municipal system of representative democracy; and
11 Whereas, the City has compelling governmental interests in maintaining public
12 confidence in its elected officials and in avoiding improper influence by vendors and
13 public corruption; and
14 Whereas, this ordinance prohibits vendors from making contributions, directly and
15 indirectly, to candidates for elective municipal office, prohibits candidates from accepting
16 contributions from vendors of the City, further prohibits the City from contracting with a
17 person for a period of six months following an election in which the person made a
18 contribution to a candidate, imposes a fine against any vendor and against any other
19 person who, on behalf of a vendor, makes a contribution in violation of this ordinance,

The City of South Miami
State of the City Address
Honorable Julio Robain'a, Mayor
Jan nary 111h 1 2000
Good evening, Vice Mayor, Commissioners elected officials, residents of South Miami and other
honored guests. It is an honor for me to present the first State of the City Address of the new
millennium.
I
Let me start by thanking some of those people who made tonight possible. I would like to
�I
especially recognize the wonderful efforts of South Miami Hospital and Wayne Brackin for
once again sponsoring this event. The State_ of the City, in only it's second year, is becoming a
very positive focal point for bringing all parts of our community together in recognition of this
wonderful City where we live and work. I would also like to thank Ivette Diaz and the Host
I
Committee that included Wayne, Grant and Michael Miller, Curtis Sibley, Donna Masson,
Reverend Bill Green, Lydia White, Lydia Gilmore and xxx. All of the proceeds from tonight's
event will go to the Alliance for Youth, Abilities of Florida and South Miami Hospital Children's
Charities.
Ladies and Gentlemen, it is with great honor that I report to you on the State of the City. The
State of our City is sound. In fact, not only is the State of our City sound, we enter the new
millennium stronger than ever before, with incredible momentum and with a tremendously
positive forecast for the future.
I
i
This past year has been filled with challenges and opportunities. It has been a year of promises
kept and expectations exceeded. It has been a year of excellence, achievement, integrity, unity
and inclusion. It has been a year of financial stability and positive balanced growth. It has been
a year when our shared vision is becoming reality.
We begin the new millennium financially secure and with a` growing and balanced tax base. The
services provided by the City of South Miami are the finest in Miami -Dade County. The
professionalism, quality, integrity and commitment of our City employees is second to none.
These accomplishments are the result of a true team effort. In South Miami we are a family. We
may not always agree but we always treat each other with respect and dignity as we work"
together to find the common ground and do what is in the best interest of our community. This
would not be possible without the leadership of my colleagues on the City Commission. I would
like ask a wonderful group of dedicated' public servants - Vice Mayor Mary Scott Russell and
Commissioners David Bethel, Horace Feliu and Ann Bass - to stand and be recognized. I would
also like to recognize and thank former Vice Mayor Armando Oliveros for his dedicated public
service. -
I would also like to take 'a moment of personal " privilege and recognize a person who has
provided an extraordinary service to our community. Every City experiences difficult moments
and South Miami is no exception. At those moments, however, certain individuals step forward
and answer the call to public service and, despite personal tragedy, serve their City. ` Ladies and
Gentlemen, will you please join me in recognizing Commissioner Ann Bass.
It is, as I mentioned, truly a team effort here in the City of South Miami. I would like to take just
a moment and introduce the key members of our team.
• City Manager Charles Scurf;
• City Attorney Earl Gallop; and
• City Clerk Ronetta Taylor.
2
The Manager has put together and outstanding team of professionals who have made our many
achievements reality. I would also like to introduce our outstanding senior management team:
(Please hold your recognition until I have introduced the entire team)
• Assistant City Manager Subrata Basu;
+ Park & Recreation Director Ana Garcia;
• Finance Director Hakeem Oshikoya;
• Chief Accountant Maria Munro;
• Building & Code Enforcement Director Sonia Lama;
• Police Chief Cokes Watson;
• Assistant Police Chiefs Greg Feldman and Mike Mills
• Public Works Director Fernando Rodriguez;
• Deputy Director Orlando Martinez;
• Assistant to the Manager Greg Oravec;
• Communications Manager Ivette Diaz;
• Human Resources Manager Jeannette Enrizo- Navarro;
• MIS Director Gremaf Reyes;
• Community Relations Board Liaison David Walker;
• CRA Director Diana Morris; and
• Parking Director Ron Stroyne.
Finally, I would like to recognize the many individual citizens, quite a few who are here tonight,
that serve as volunteers on the City's Boards and Committees. The City is grateful and indebted
to you for your service.
This past year was a remarkable year. I believe it will only be surpassed by what the City of
South Miami will achieve in the future. I want to take a few minutes and review with you some
of the many accomplishments of 1999 and look forward to some of the challenges that face us in
2000.
3
In the Financial area, the City has entered an unprecedented era of positive financial growth. In
1999 South Miami, with the leadership of my colleagues on the City Commission, realized the
following:
• The property tax rate was reduced to the lowest level in a decade. The FY 1999- 2000
millage rate of 6.373 mills is the lowest since FY 1990 -1991.
• The tax burden placed on homeowners is the lowest in over a decade. The percentage
of property taxes paid by residential homeowners had increased to 63 %. Your City
Commission, in a single year, reduced this percentage to 49 %. For the first time in
recent memory commercial businesses are paying more than 50% of property taxes.
• The City tax base grew by an unprecedented 32% last year. The total tax base
increased by $178,000,000. Commercial property represented $165,000,000 of the "
increase.
• The Finance Department continued to maintain the highest professional standards and
under the leadership of Director Hakeem Oshikoya was again awarded the Certificate
of Financial Reporting by the Government Financial Officers Association.
• The ` Department added a new Human Resources function and is providing
professional personnel management for the first time.
• The City upgraded and replaced it's three primary computer networks, ensuring Y2K
compliance and state of the art network support.
The Police Department had a year of unique and unprecedented challenges. The opening of
Sunset Place brought an estimated 4 - 5 million new people to our community. I am pleased to
report to you that, under the leadership of Chief Cokes Watson and Assistant Chiefs Mike Mills
and Greg Feldman we not only met these challenges but also exceeded all expectations.
• The Department has successfully completed the major expansion approved by the
City Commission last year, adding 10 new sworn police officers. The ratio of sworn
officers per 1,000 population now stands at 5.7, one of the highest ratios in the
County;
• Sunset Place operated for an entire year with no major incidents. This was no
accident. It is the result of extensive planning, proactive policing, positive youth
4
C `
intervention and a professional police force. The City's response time on emergency
calls remains less then 2 minutes - the best in the County and probably the State;
• The Department initiated "Sunset Net", an electronic network linking City merchants
with the Police Department, and re- invigorated Citizens Crime Watch and the HEAT,
BEAT & SCAN Programs. Walking Beats have been started in the downtown area
and will soon be expanded to the Murray Park area;
•' Overall crime rates, expected to spike due to the large amount of new commercial
activity, have not only not increased, they have decreased. While only preliminary
estimates are available at this time the trend is very positive. The City, for the fourth
year in a row, has not experienced a single murder or homicide; and
• The City's proactive efforts seeking grants and working with other agencies such as
the DEA have produced significant results, with new computers, walking beat police
officers and hundreds of thousands of dollars in forfeiture funds coming to South
Miami.
Our Parks & Recreation Department is continuing the remarkable renaissance started two years
ago. 1999 was a year of outstanding progress and achievement under Ana Garcia's leadership.
• Phase I of the Murray Park Multi- Purpose Center, the Hope Center, has become a
reality. As I speak the roof is being completed and the facility will open this spring.
Over $4,000,000 has been approved through our proactive grant efforts. Consultant
selection for the Phase II design will be concluded in the very near future. This 30
year dream of our community is now finally becoming a reality;
• All of our parks are undergoing major improvements. Fuchs Park has undergone a
complete renovation. Major improvements including items such as new tot lots,
renovated bathrooms and extensive landscaping are underway at Marshall
Williamson Park, Palmer Field and Dante Fascell Park, Brewer Park and the Open
Space Park;
• Educational, sports & recreational programming continues to improve and expand
with unprecedented levels of participation in park programs. The After School House
continues to excel and the City continues to provide meaningful new experiences to
our youth including a trip by over 250 participants to the Turkey Bowfin Atlanta;
5
• The Citywide Landscaping Program achieved new heights. Hundreds of new trees
have been planted along City streets, the tree canopy in our parks has been
extensively enhanced, the design for the Sunset Median has been completed, and
plans for additional spring plantings are under development.
Public Works continued providing excellent public services while upgrading and improving the
City's engineering and construction management capabilities as well as improving the quality
and timeliness of the Departments response to special needs and complaints. Under the
continuing supervision of Fernando Rodriguez and Orlando Martinez:
• Trash and garbage collection continue at the highest frequency of any City in the
County, and the fees for these services are included in your property taxes, rather than
a separate bill of as high as $500 a year charged by other cities and the County;
• Work was completed on major drainage projects including Lake Taco Bell. A total of
over $450,000 has been funded by the State of Florida and design of other major
drainage projects;
• The Department initiated the PROMP, or Proactive Maintenance Program design to
identify and repair potential problems and nuisances throughout the City;
• The City completed a comprehensive hurricane preparedness program including new
hurricane shutters, emergency ' generators, fueling facilities, backup radio
communications and roof replacement;
• The Department developed a construction management capability to oversee the
construction on City projects. The Department also added aprofessional engineering
component to design and certify City projects; and
• Environmental restoration and compliance continued to be top priorities with
continuing work on the National Pollution Elimination System and important new
initiatives such as the Fuchs Park Wetlands Project
In Building & Code Enforcement 1999 was a very busy and productive year. Under the
sustained supervision of Sonia Lama:
6
• The Department managed a 45% increase in the number: of new building permits
issued, a 60% increase in building inspections and a 55% increase in occupational ;
licenses;
• The largest and most complex project in the history of the City,, the Shops at Sunset
Place, was completed;
• The Department also undertook major new code enforcement initiatives. These
included development of a new Code enforcement Ticketing Ordinance, the addition
of an additional code enforcement officer, and major enforcement crackdowns on
junk vehicles and illegal dumping.
Planning and Zoning experienced similar increases in workload. Under the experienced
leadership of Subrata Basu:
• The Department initiated the automation of records and mapping;
Completed a major Geographic Information System;
• Completed work on technical revisions to the Land Development Code and
modifications necessary to bring the Comprehensive Plan into full" compliance with
State requirements; and
• Created a Blue Ribbon Committee to do a comprehensive substantive review of the
City's Land Development Code, Zoning Regulations and special zoning districts
including the Hometown District and the Transit Oriented Development District.
Communication and public' information were major successful initiatives of the City. With the
" hard work of Ivette Diaz:
• The City upgraded Channel 5 programming;
• Published a quarterly newsletter Inside South Miami;
• Is set to debut a Video Edition of Inside South Miami on Channel 5. I'd like to thank
Michael and Grant Miller for their contribution of publishing Inside South Miami,
and also to Wayne Brackin and South Miami Hospital for their donation of video
production for tonight's broadcast and the Video Edition of Inside South Miami.

j
This past year was one of unparalleled success in Intergovernmental Relations. Consider the
following:
• A Trust for Safe Neighborhood Parks grant of $ 1,700,000 for the Murray Park Multi-
purpose Center;
• State of Florida grants totaling $ 340,000 for Stormwater Drainage;
• Over $ 450,000 from the United States Department of Justice for mobile computers in .
our police vehicles and 4 new Community Oriented Policing (COPS) officers for new
walking beats; and
• Participation of two City K -9 units in a multi - agency; task force at Miami
International Airport that has resulted in over $1,000,000 in cash seizures with over
$300,000 returning to South Miami; and
A special note of thanks to the City Manager and the City's two lobbyists, Fausto Gomez and
Ron Book, for their invaluable contributions. I know that 2000 will see new successes as we
expand the effort with the assignment of Greg Oravec of the City Manager's Office and focus on
County and Federal funding sources.
The Community Relations Board became fully functional; in 1999. This dedicated group, with
the staff assistance of David Walker, has begun a series of initiatives and programs including the
first ever "Civility Week
The Community Redevelopment Agency became a reality in 1999. For the first time ever the
City of South Miami has a dedicated source of funding to address redevelopment. This past year
saw meaningful progress with the operation, of the Trolley and important paint -up fix -up
programs. The true promise of the CRA will be realized in the new millennium and we look -
forward, with the guidance of Diana Morris, Don Delaney and the CRA Board and Advisory
Board to significant projects beginning in 2000:

The City of South Miami has taken a leadership role nationally thanks in large part to the efforts
of Vice Mayor Mary Scott Russell and City Attorney Earl Gallop. ,
• South Miami was the first City in Miami -Dade County to complete ethics' training for
all City em' to ees;
p Y
!, South Miami adopted a new comprehensive ethics ordinance inane for all City employees,
elected officials and board members; and
• South Miami was, to the best of our knowledge, the first City in the nation to adopt an
innovative Campaign Finance Reform Ordinance prohibiting campaign contributions
from vendors, consultants and contractors doing business with the City.
Ladies and Gentlemen — it has been an honor and privilege for me to serve as your Mayor and to
report on the State of our City. As I stated at the beginning of this report the State of our City is
sound. In fact, not only is the State of our City sound, we enter the new millennium stronger
than ever before, with incredible momentum and with a tremendously positive forecast for the
future.
South Miami begins the new millennium with a bright future. We have achieved much but if
we work together our best days are before us. I call upon each of us to renew our commitment to
our City to strive for Excellence, Integrity and Inclusion -`and to work together for the good of
all. I am incredibly optimistic about the future. I look forward to the challenges and
opportunities of the new millennium and continuing to serve you as the Mayor of the City of
Pleasant Living.
God Bless You and Good Night.

Table 1 illustrates that the subject application would not have the required front and rear
setback.
The proposed home's failure to provide the minimum required front and rear setbacks is
largely attributable to the dimensions of the lot which is 112.79'x 57'. The required
setbacks, when applied to the subject property, only permits an allowable building
envelope of 7 feet by 89.67 feet, or 628 square feet.
The proposed house would substantially improve the subject property and the reduced
front and rear setbacks would not negatively impact the surrounding area which has
varied setbacks. Furthermore, the applicant has obtained the support of over 20 percent of
the property owners, owning property within 500 feet of the subject property, as
evidenced by the petition submitted by the applicant.
COMPREHENSIVE PLAN

RE: Variance Application
Letter of Intent and Hardship
The South 25.86 feet of Lots 116 and 117 "University Park
PB 18 -46, Dade County, FI
6560 SW 59th Avenue
Dear Sir or Madam:
Habitat for Humanity of Greater Miami requests front and rear setback variances
in order to build a three - bedroom home on the above property. This _property is
located in an older neighborhood platted many years ago. Since .the required`.
minimum setbacks in the current Land Development Code were -establisliEd
projecting larger minimum lot sizes, a hardship is created in building,even a srra!I
house on the above lot due to the current setback requirements of 25' front and
25' rear setbacks.
Miami Habitat requests a front variance of 161 and a rear variance o`'7'8" to
allow an 8'11" front setback and a 17'4 rear setback.
Thank you for your consideration, and We look forward to ccntinuing our
commitment of working, with the City of South Miami by providing hcirnes for
people in the community.
Sincerely,
Anna Grohoski

Re: General (Non- Union) Employee Financial
Adjustment for FY 1999 -2000
A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI,
FLORIDA, RELATING TO THE GENERAL (NON - UNION) EMPLOYEE FINANCIAL ADJUSTMENT
FOR FY 1.999. -2000; APPROVING A 3.5 % ADJUSTMENT CONSISTING OF: (A) A 1.75% COST OF
LIVING ADJUSTMENT (COLA) EFFECTIVE OCTOBER 1, 1999; AND (B) A ONE TIME 1.75 %
CASH PAYMENT; AND MAKING APPROPRIATE CHANGES TO THE PAY PLAN
BACKGROUND & ANALYSIS
The City of South Miami has three "groups" of employees: (1) Sworn police officers represented by the
Police Benevolent Association (PBA); '(2) Certain classifications of employees, primarily in Public Works
and Parks, represented by the American Federation of State, Municipal and County Employees
( AFSCME); and (c) "General or non - union employees. There are approximately, 70 general employees
consisting of a large number of classifications including professional, clerical and administrative
employees and non -sworn police personnel such as communications officers.
The City currently has a 3 year agreement with the PBA for sworn officers, which includes a FY 1999-
2000 wage adjustment. Negotiations are currently underway with AFSCME. These negotiations,
however, are proceeding slowly and will not be completed until next year.
The City has handled the annual wage adjustment for general employees differently over the years. In
some years general employees were provided with the wage adjustment negotiated by AFSCME. In other
years they were handled separately. Given the slow pace of AFSCME negotiations it is not felt to be fair
to make the general employees wait.
A financial adjustment package of 3.5 % is recommended. It is recommended that the 3.5% financial
adjustment be comprised of a 1.75% cost of living adjustment (COLA) and a 1.75% cash payment. The
COLA will increase the employees base salary and provide for long term growth. The cash payment will
provide our employees with an immediate benefit.
The cash payment portion of the adjustment also has a very positive benefit to the City. It will provide
savings in excess of $40,000 annually beginning in FY 2000 -2001 due to the overall lower base salary for
general employees. These savings can be used by the City for many purposes including helping to offset
other vitally needed employee programs such as life and disability insurance.
The 3.5% package is somewhat higher than the overall rate of inflation, which is approximately 3 %. This
is justified based on the savings generated by the cash payment. The FY 1999 -2000 rate negotiated by the
PBA was 4 %.
RECOMMENDATION
Approval is recommended.
