Item K-1) Consent Agenda
Resolution
National Missing Children's Day
12 of 112
18605 NW 27th Avenue
Miami Gardens, Florida 33056
National Missing Children’s Day was first proclaimed in 1983 by President Ronald Reagan and is
observed every year on May 25, the anniversary of the disappearance of Etan Patz, to encourage
Parents, guardians, caregivers and others concerned with the well-being of children to make child safety
a priority.
Etan Patz disappeared on his way to school in New York City on May 25, 1979, there was no national
response or database in place to aid in locating him. Two years later, when Adam Walsh, also 6, was
abducted from a retail store, there was still no regional or national response system in place to help
local law enforcement search for him. These prominent missing children cases and others pushed
Congress to enact the Mission Children’s Act in 1982, which mandated the entry of missing child
information into the FBI’s National Crime Center for Missing & Exploited Children.
The search for Ethan Patz has continued for more than three decades. The good news is more missing
children come home safely today than at any other point in history. National Missing Children’s Day is a
day to remember Etan and the many other missing children who are still out there.
According to the FBI, in 2015 there were 460,699 National Center for Missing & Exploited Children
(NCMEC) entries for missing children. Similarly, in 2014, the total number of missing children entries
was 466,949.
According to stats provided by the City of Miami Gardens Police Department there were: 281 missing
children entries in 2008; 674 missing children entries in 2009; 503 missing children entries in 2010; 543
missing children entries in 2011; 470 missing children entries in 2012; 387 missing children entries in
2013; 467, missing children entries in 2014; 459 missing children entries in 2015, and 117 missing
children entries so far for 2016.
Proposed Action:
That the City Council adopts the proposed resolution in recognizing May 25, 2016, as National Missing
Children’s Day.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MIAMI GARDENS, FLORIDA, APPROVING LANGUAGE IN SUBSTANTIAL
FORM TO BE PLACED ON THE BALLOT TO AMEND SECTION 9.6 OF
THE CITY OF MIAMI GARDENS’ CHARTER; AUTHORIZING THE CITY TO RESOLVE THE PENDING LITIGATION WITH MIAMI DADE COUNTY RELATING TO SECTION 9.6 OF THE CITY’S CHARTER; PROVIDING FOR THE ADOPTION OF REPRESENTATIONS; PROVIDING FOR AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
Staff Summary:
The City of Miami Gardens was incorporated on May 13, 2003, and as a condition of incorporation,
Miami Dade County included “Special Conditions” in the City’s Charter. These “Special Conditions” are
outlined in Article IX of the City’s Charter, and the City does not have the authority to opt out of these
Item L-1) Resolution
Approving Language to Amend
Section 9.6 of the City Charter
20 of 112
18605 N W 27th Avenue, Suite 165
Miami Gardens, Florida 33056
conditions. Section 9.6 of the Charter relates to building and zoning regulations for the “Stadium
Properties.”
The City and Miami Dade County are in disagreement as to the interpretation of Section 9.6. It is the
City’s position that as of December 31, 2012, all zoning and building jurisdiction vested in the City of
Miami Gardens. However, Miami Dade County disagrees with the City’s interpretation and asserts that
the County continues to maintain both zoning and building jurisdiction over the property at issue
regardless of the December 31, 2012 date. The City has attempted to resolve this matter with Miami
Dade County, without success, and so on July 2, 2014, the City of Miami Gardens filed a lawsuit against
Miami-Dade County relating to Section 9.6 of City of Miami Gardens Charter. In that lawsuit, the City
has asked that the Court determine the validity of Section 9.6 of the City’s Charter and to interpret this
provision.
The City and the County have had several meetings mandated by Florida Statutes in an effort to resolve
this dispute, and the City, through Mayor Gilbert, has been engaged in negotiations with Miami-Dade
County as well as the owners of Dolphin Stadium to attempt to resolve the issues presented in the
litigation. The parties have come to an agreement in form, with respect to the litigation, which must be
approved by the parties. The first step in the process will involve amending the Section 9.6 such that the
current language in Section 9.6 would be stricken and replaced with that language in substantial form as
that found on Exhibit “A” attached hereto. In accordance with the proposed language, the City and the
County would have joint building and zoning jurisdiction for the properties; as relates to zoning, all
applications for zoning applications would have to be submitted to the City, and if the City approves the
application, then the City’s determination becomes final; If the City, however, rejects a zoning action
after a public hearing, or approves the action with conditions that are not agreed to by the Stadium,
then County would be able to review that action. The County would only be able to alter the city's
decision by a majority vote of the total membership of the Board of County Commissioners; Otherwise,
all zoning actions become final. In addition, to ensure that there is an agreement with respect to zoning
regulations that would govern the property, the City and the County will jointly draft and separately
adopt an ordinance that will govern the property. Moreover, the parties intend to enter into an
Agreement that resolves the litigation and that will allow the City to purchase fuel from the County at
the same wholesale rate as the County as opposed to continuing to pay retail prices; The agreement will
further involve the County transferring certain piece parcels of real property, owned by the County to
the City for the City's use.
It is being recommended that the City Council authorize the Mayor, the City Attorney, the City Manager
and City Clerk to move forward with whatever steps may be necessary to resolve and finalize this
matter. The anticipated zoning ordinance and Agreement will come before the City Council for approval
and it may be necessary that formal ballot language be approved by the City Council.
Proposed Action:
That the City Council Approve the attached Resolution.

Proposed Amended Language for Section 9.6
In recognition of the fact that the properties described in Appendix “C”
(hereinafter the “Properties”) have significant importance to the economy and
well-being of the City and of all Miami-Dade County, the City and Miami-Dade
County shall have joint building and zoning jurisdiction for the Properties. The
Properties shall be governed by a zoning ordinance that may only be adopted or
amended by a majority vote of members present of both the City Council and the
Board of County Commissioners.
All zoning inquiries and applications for zoning action for the Properties shall be
submitted to the City. If the City Council approves an application for zoning action after public hearing, then upon the City's determination becoming final in
accordance with the City’s rules and regulations, it may only be reviewed by a
court of competent jurisdiction. However, if the City Council denies an
application for zoning action after public hearing, or approves an application for
zoning action after public hearing with conditions that are not agreed to by the

conditions that are not agreed to by the applicant, the applicant shall have the right
to appeal that decision first to the City Council, which shall affirm, affirm with
conditions, or reverse the decision within 60 days of submittal of the appeal, and
then to the Board of County Commissioners in accordance with the above
procedures for review of City Council decisions, provided, however, that if the City Council does not issue a decision within 60 days of submittal of the appeal,
then the applicant may appeal directly to the Board of County Commissioners in
accordance with the procedures governing appeals of administrative actions set out
in Chapter 33 of the Code of Miami-Dade County.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MIAMI GARDENS, FLORIDA, APPROVING THE APPLICATION SUBMITTED
BY EMPOWERING YOUTH, INC., FOR THE REZONING OF PROPERTY
LOCATED AT 530 NW 183RD STREET, MIAMI GARDENS, FLORIDA, MORE PARTICULARLY DESCRIBED ON EXHIBIT “A”, ATTACHED HERETO, FROM R-1, SINGLE FAMILY TO NC, NEIGHBORHOOD

Staff Summary:
Background
Item M-1) Quasi-Judicial
Ordinance/ First Reading
Rezoning Application/ Empowering Youth, Inc.
28 of 112
18605 N W 27th Avenue, Suite 165
Miami Gardens, Florida 33056
On April 11, 2010 the City of Miami Gardens adopted the Land Development Regulations
(LDRs) to regulate and govern the land development and zoning of the City. Prior to
adoption, the City relied on the Miami-Dade County Zoning Code. There was extensive
public participation and time spent on the development of the LDRs to reflect and
highlight the City’s economic development and growth potential, while mitigating the
impacts of incompatible land uses. The LDRs allow “Educational Facilities - Technical,
Vocational, Specialty Non-Public” as a permitted use in the Neighborhood Commercial
(NC), Planned Corridor Development (PCD), I-1 and I-2 Industrial and the Planned
Development (PD) zoning districts.
Current Situation
The subject property is 7,875 square feet located at 530 NW 183rd Street and is currently improved
land containing a 1,490 square feet single story structure. The current use is a Home Day Care
facility which is permitted under the current R-1 zoning district for the site. The applicant would
like to expand the use to an educational facility focused on rehabilitative services such as speech
therapy, occupational therapy and counselling services for elementary, middle and high school
aged clients. This would require a rezoning to NC, Neighborhood Commercial in order to permit
this type of use. In addition to educational type facilities the NC, Neighborhood Commercial zoning
district also permits an extensive list of commercial and non-residential uses as outlined in
Section 34-287 of the Code of Ordinances.
Zoning History
A search of Miami-Dade County zoning history of the location has found no restrictions or covenants
that would prevent an educational facility on-site.
Analysis
Commercial uses are already in existence along the corridor and interspersed throughout the
block. Surrounding properties to the north are residential; to the east is residential and OF,
Professional Office; and to the west is residential and NC, Neighborhood Commercial.
The proposed rezoning of the property from R-1 Single Family to NC, Neighborhood Commercial is
consistent with the existing uses within close proximity of the site and with the policies and
objectives of the City of Miami Gardens’ Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CMDP), and
satisfies the criteria for granting of amendments or adoption of changes to the text of the LDRs or
change of the actual official zoning map designation of a parcel or parcels.
Proposed Action:
It is recommended the City Council adopt this Ordinance.

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 that
threaten our community. This group has created mitigation projects that would 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 that is inherent in stormwater runoff.
Annual Progress Report for Community Rating System (CRS)
Twice per year, the LMS group updates its list and submits the new lists to the
Chairperson. It is expected that some projects may be funded through each
community’s budgets, while other projects may be funded through grants that are
disclosed through the LMS group. The CRS also requires that an annual progress
report be provided to the Council and the press. This is the subject of this Report.
How Report was Prepared, How to Get a Copy, and How Report is Publicized
This Progress Report was prepared by Rising Waters Consulting, the firm hired by the
City of Miami Gardens. This Report will be released to the media through the City’s
Event and Media Coordinator, and will be presented to the City Council in October
2016. This Report will also be submitted to the Chairperson of the LMS group

for inclusion in the LMS plan, which is 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 at the Building Director’s office at the above address and contact
information. The public can 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. This list shows projects that have been
completed within the year, and since the Public Works Department started
improvements in the City. New projects are added as they are developed.
Repetitive Loss (RL) Area Analysis
From the start 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. Correspondence from the
contractor for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) has indicated the
presence of three more RL’s. This has not yet been confirmed through any
documentation received. Preliminary data on each of the 22 properties 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 see if 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
can protect themselves from major flooding in the future. A list of all RL area
homeowners can 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.

Progress of 2015 and 2016 Recommendations
During 2015 and 2016, the following progress has been made regarding
recommendations from the 2014 progress report:
• Finding additional funding sources: The City has been concentrating on
completing drainage projects that have been ongoing for the last year. The City
is working to secure funds from the South Florida Water Management District
and the CBIR for smaller improvements that would improve drainage conditions
in the City.
• Work with residents with private roads on their drainage issues: The city
was able to complete new roads and drainage in the Vista Verde Phases 1A and
B areas of the city, and has started with the third phase of this project. These
phased projects will mitigate flooding in this private neighborhood. The Vista
Verde area is large and so the city has divided this area into several phases, and
is trying to secure funding for each additional phase. The City continues to try to
reach out to other private residents to improve their private roads and drainage.
• Total project completion: For these fiscal years the city has completed three
drainage improvement projects.
• Inspect chronically flooded areas: The Building Services Department and the
Public Works crews continue to document flooded areas, and respond to
complaints.
Recommendations for 2017
Recommendations that will be considered by the Floodplain Administrator and the
Public Works Department include:
• Finding additional funding sources to complete projects
• Continue investigation of chronically flooded areas throughout the City, to
prioritize and implement future drainage improvements.
• Further investigate new RL’s that have been 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, and
the stated improvements will reduce property damage and repetitive losses from
future rain events. These projects also improve water quality of stormwater runoff,
which is a requirement of the 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 stormwater runoff on the property site, and allow
treatment for pollution, and then percolation into the ground.
