Staff Summary: The City of Miami Gardens currently participates in the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) and the Community Rating System (CRS). Participation in these programs helps protect Residents and Businesses from flood damage and provides discounts to citizens on their flood insurance policies. One CRS requirement is the City must provide a yearly progress report detailing its activities to mitigate flood losses. This Report details the past and present progress. Proposed Action: It is recommended the City Council approve the attached Resolution. ITEM K-10) CONSENT AGENDA RESOLUTION Floodplain Management Plan Attachment: The City of Miami Gardens Floodplain Management Plan: Progress Report and Area Analysis for 2014. Attachment City of Miami Gardens Development Services Department Floodplain Management Program 18605 NW 27 Avenue Miami Gardens, Fl. 33056 Telephone 305.622.8000, Ext 2628 Email: mgambino@miamigardens-fl.gov City of Miami Gardens Floodplain Management Plan Progress Report/Area Analysis for 2014 NFIP Community Number 120345 Miami-Dade County Local Mitigation Strategy (LMS) The City of Miami Gardens currently uses Miami-Dade County’s LMS working group as the basis for its’ floodplain management plan. The LMS is a comprehensive group of community stakeholders that have identified the natural and man-made hazards threatening our community. The group has created mitigation projects to potentially minimize or eliminate those hazards. Each community in the group has a list of hazard mitigation projects they hope to implement to improve their community. Miami Gardens has included drainage improvement projects in this multi-hazard plan to reduce flooding, protect life and property, and treat pollution inherent in stormwater runoff. Annual Progress Report for Community Rating System (CRS) Twice per year, the LMS group updates its lists and submits the new lists to the Chairperson. It is expected some projects may be funded through each community’s budget, while other projects may be funded through grants that are disclosed through the LMS group. The CRS also requires an annual progress report be provided to the Council and the press. This serves as the basis of this Report. Report Preparation, How to Obtain a Copy, and Publication This Progress Report was prepared by Mike Gambino, CFM, Floodplain Administrator for the City of Miami Gardens. This Report has been released to the media through the City’s Event and Media Coordinator, and will be presented to the City Council in October 2014. This Report will also be submitted to the Chairperson of the LMS group 2 for inclusion in the LMS plan made available to the public through the County’s web site, www.miamidade.gov/fire/mitigation.asp. The LMS quarterly meetings are announced to the public. The Report which includes the area analyses is also available to the public through the Floodplain Administrator’s office at the above address and contact information. The public may obtain the original LMS plan at the above web address, or through the County’s Office of Emergency Management at 305.468.5400. Review of LMS List of Drainage Improvement Projects A review of the drainage improvement projects planned and completed for Miami Gardens is listed at the end of this Attachment. The list shows projects that have been completed within the year to include the time Public Works began improvements in the City. New projects are added as they are developed. The City completed one drainage improvement project during the past year. Repetitive Loss (RL) Area Analysis At the inception of Miami Gardens’ participation in the CRS, the City had one property listed as a repetitive loss. A repetitive loss is defined by the Federal Emergency Management Agency as a property where two or more flood insurance claims of $1,000.00 or more have been made within a ten-year period. The RL list for Miami Gardens now stands at 22 properties. Preliminary data on each property has been collected and an analysis of these properties was drafted. The City will continue to pursue inspecting these properties during the rainy season to ascertain whether chronic flooding occurs in these areas. A letter is being sent to all RL areas disclosing the potential for flooding, making Residents aware of funding opportunities, the benefits of flood insurance, and how they may protect themselves from major flooding in the future. A list of all RL area homeowners may be provided upon request. Discussion of Progress in Reaching Capital Improvement Objectives Funding is limited in the City for capital improvements due to extensive debt repayment to Miami-Dade County, the slow economy, and other negative financial factors. Therefore, most of the funding for these types of projects is derived from grants. 3 Progress of 2013 Recommendations During 2013, the following progress has been made regarding recommendations from the 2012 progress report:  Finding additional funding sources: The City has been concentrating on completing drainage projects that have been ongoing for the past year. The City is working to secure funds from the South Florida Water Management District and the state delegation for smaller improvements that would improve drainage conditions in the City.  Work with Residents on their private roads drainage issues: The city was able to complete new roads and drainage in the Vista Verde Phases I-A and I-B areas of the city. This project will mitigate flooding in this private neighborhood. The Vista Verde area is large and the city has divided the area into several phases and is seeking to secure funding for each additional phase. The City continues discussions with other area Residents in regards to improving their private roads and drainage.  Total project completion: For this fiscal year, the City has completed one drainage improvement project.  Inspect chronically flooded areas: The Floodplain Administrator and the Public Works crews continue to document flooded areas, and respond to complaints. Recommendations for 2015 Recommendations to be considered by the Floodplain Administrator and the Public Works Department include:  Identifying additional funding sources to complete projects  Continue investigation of chronically flooded areas throughout the City and to prioritize and implement future drainage improvements.  Further investigate new RL’s assigned to the City. List of Drainage Improvements Tracked Through the Local Mitigation Strategy Project Three: Drainage Improvements The following areas have been identified as having severe flooding problems. The stated improvements will reduce property damage and repetitive losses from future rain events. These projects also improve water quality of stormwater runoff as a requirement of County and Federal permits. All projects will consist of French Drain systems with emergency overflow outfalls, where needed. French Drains capture the first inch of 4 stormwater runoff on the property site and allow treatment for pollution followed by percolation into the ground.
