Staff Summary:
On February 24, 2010, the City Council authorized the City Manager and City Attorney to take all steps
necessary to create the Miami Gardens Excellence in Education Council (“Education Council”). The
Education Council was formed for the purpose of advancing educational and cultural opportunities in
the City of Miami Gardens.
Item K-1) Consent Agenda
Resolution
Dissolve Miami Gardens Excellence
in Education Council
Page 6 of 126
18605 NW 27th Avenue
Miami Gardens, Florida 33056
Although, the Education Council operated successfully for a number of years, in recent months, the
Education Council has not operated because of the failure to have a quorum present for meetings.
Moreover, the State of Florida requires that certain reports be filed in order to continue operation, but
without a quorum, it becomes difficult to file these reports. Despite efforts to reconstitute the
Education have not been successful.
Vice Mayor Felicia Robinson is recommending that the City Council dissolve the Education Council and
that the City continue the mission of the Education Council. Upon dissolution of the Education Council,
any funds held by the Education Council must be distributed to a state or local government or to an
exempt organization. It is being recommended that the funds be distributed to the City of Miami
Gardens, with a determination of how those funds will be spent to be made at a future time.
Proposed Action:
That the City Council approves the attached Resolution.

The Miami Gardens Police Department was awarded grant funding from the Miami-Dade County Edward
Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant for FY 2015 in the amount of $12,953. The Miami Gardens
Police Department will use the grant to continue to provide the highest level of quality service to our
residents, and continue to improve the criminal justice records management system. Funds will also be
used to continue a color copier lease which will enable the records staff to disseminate color
photographs to police personnel, other law enforcement agencies, State Attorney’s Office, insurance
companies and the general public. Funds will be further used to support overtime needed to continue
automation of the department’s current records system.
Fiscal Impact
This grant will offset some of the operating cost of copy machine rental and personnel costs in the
General Fund.
Proposed Action:
That the City Council approve the attached resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a
contract with the Miami-Dade County Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant allowing the
Miami Gardens Police Department to utilize overtime hours, purchase a high quality scanner, and lease a
color copier utilizing the $12,953.00 allocated by this grant.

Miami Gardens, Florida 33056
Background
At the February 28, 2011 meeting, City Council approved resolution number 2011‐28‐1421 which
authorized the City Manager and City Attorney to take any and all steps necessary to create the Greater
Miami Gardens Chamber of Commerce.
Furthermore, City Council has expressed their continued support of the Greater Miami Gardens
Chamber of Commerce. Therefore, during the fiscal year 2014‐2015 budgeting process, City Council
appropriated $40,000 from the General Fund under the Mayor’s division for the purposes of providing
funding support to the Chamber.
The funding support allows the Chamber to carry out the following tasks in support of the overall
economic development in the City:
Assist current business and industry with retention and expansion needs. Attract new businesses
into the area;
Identify and market potential development sites in Miami Gardens;
Actively assist and recruit potential employers who create quality jobs for residents;
Identify, recruit and assist entrepreneurs in the area;
Work with the City of Miami Gardens and other local governmental entities on future
development, land use and infrastructure needs;
Educate the public about the importance of economic development to the future of the area;
Assist with the growth of a quality, skilled local workforce;
Create digital electronic Economic Development marketing package;
Work collaboratively with the City on Economic Development;
Current Situation
As a 501(c)6 entity, the Greater Miami Gardens Chamber of Commerce is eligible to enter into an
agreement with the City as a consultant for the above mention services. City Staff is recommending an
amount of $40,000 from the General Fund be awarded to the Chamber.
Staff recommends a commitment to supporting and funding of the Chamber over a period of 5 years,
beginning in fiscal year 2013‐2014 through fiscal year 2017‐2018, with declining awards in subsequent
years as the Chamber becomes fully financially and operationally independent. However, agreements
for services will be for no more than 1‐year terms, and each subsequent award and agreement will be
brought back before City Council each year. This is the second year in the 5‐year period, with prior
funding in 2013‐14 of $50,000 from General Fund and $10,000 from CDBG. Staff is not recommending
funding from CDBG this year.
A resolution is required in order to award funds to the Greater Miami Gardens Chamber of Commerce.
Upon Council’s approval of staff’s recommendation, an agreement for services will be executed between
the City and the Chamber.
Financial Impact:
An amount of $40,000 is budgeted in the FY 2015 Budget under the Mayor’s division.

Staff Summary:
Background
The City’s current Land Development Regulations (LDRs) were adopted in 2010 as a means to promote
development and stable neighborhoods within the City. Regulations where adopted specific to the
development goals of the City to take advantage of the development opportunities along the major
corridors, large commercial areas, and industrial parks. The Entertainment District overlays areas
designated Planned Corridor Development (PCD). This area is intended to revitalize commercial centers
in the City thereby generating revenue and providing ample and convenient shopping for residents. The
Entertainment Overlay District also encourages and supports large scale development of entertainment
driven uses, including, but not limited to, hotels, theaters, cultural centers, indoor recreation facilities,
alcoholic beverage uses, restaurants and commercial activities, with the purpose of attracting customers
and visitors from local, regional, national, and international areas.
Current Situation
As outlined in the City’s Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP), the City relies on the use of
broader land use categories and performance criteria in the Land Development Regulations to guide
new development and redevelopment that provide for complete neighborhoods without impacting
established residential neighborhoods.
The proposed development standards and permitted uses for the Entertainment Overlay District (EOD)
will facilitate new development, revitalization and redevelopment, as well as further the City’s economic
development strategy. Planned Corridor Development (PCD) is the best suited zoning category for this
overlay district. PCD, Planned Corridor Development District, implements the Comprehensive
Development Master Plan (CDMP) Commerce land use category and allows for a wide range of
commercial uses, select recreation and entertainment uses. The proposed Entertainment Overlay
District (EOD) repeals the Town Center Overlay District (TCO).
The basic purpose and intent of the Entertainment Overlay District is to encourage lively urban
development that promotes and sustains large scale development of entertainment driven uses (e.g.,
hotels, theaters, cultural centers, indoor recreation facilities, alcoholic beverage uses, restaurants and
commercial activities) while creating a sense of place presently lacking in this area. The EOD will foster

high quality businesses and embrace the public realm as it provides for outdoor dining, pedestrian
circulation, and parking guidelines.
Proposed Action:
Recommend adoption of the Ordinance.

Recently, I’ve written
about tax fraud and
identity theft. An
astute reader pointed out
that our Medicare cards
contain our Social Security
numbers and that thieves
can use them to open ac-
counts and fraudulently file
tax returns.
I am thrilled that U.S.
Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen
read my column and sent
me information below as to
what she is doing to stop
this abuse:
Ms. Gonzalez Caldwell:
Rep. Ros-Lehtinen asked
me to write you in response
to your Feb. 15 article in the
Miami Herald. As you may
be aware, the congresswo-
man has worked to combat
Medicare fraud for many
years.
Her most recent bill in-
troduced last Congress, the
Medicare Fraud Enforcement
and Prevention Act, would:
Increase penalties for
committing fraud.
Make it easier for the
relevant agencies in govern-
ment to share information
about suspected Medicare,
Medicaid, or CHIP fraud
with appropriate law en-
forcement officials.
Direct the secretary of
Health and Human Services
to study the feasibility and
benefits in utilizing biometric
technology to counter Medi-
care fraud.
Rep. Ros-
Lehtinen
plans to
reintroduce
revised legis-
lation this
year and
would be
glad to con-
sider any of the suggestions
you, Citizens Crime Watch
of Miami-Dade, or your
readers have suggested.
Thank you again for
bringing attention to this
important issue that affects
South Florida and I look
forward to hearing from you.
Best regards, Wes
Brooks, Legislative Assist-
ant, Congresswoman Ileana
Ros-Lehtinen (FL-27),
Wes.Brooks@
mail.house.gov.
Ros-Lehtinen is going to
need your help. Please con-
tact her office at
305-668-2285.
This Medicare fraud issue
is not going away until Con-
gress changes how it oper-
ates. We have a congresswo-
man on board. Let’s get the
other congressional mem-
bers to do their part. Maybe
even our Miami-Dade legis-
lative delegation can push
this subject in Tallahassee?
Carmen Caldwell is
executive director of Citi-
zens’ Crime Watch of Mia-
mi-Dade. Send feedback
