Staff Summary:
Background
On May 10, 2017 Council approved the increase of stormwater fees from $4.00 to $6.00 per ERU per
month. The revenue derived from this fee is to cover the costs for capital projects as well as
maintenance of the stormwater system. In the FY 2017 budget, the Fleet Manager submitted a five year
vehicle replacement plan to replace the 10 year old Street Sweeper and the two Vacuum Trucks.
Agenda Item H-1
Stormwater Utility
5 OF 212
18605 NW 27 Ave.,
Miami Gardens, Florida 33056
Current Situation
The monthly stormwater bill for each non-residential property is charged for the impervious surface.
Impervious area is defined as any part of any parcel of land that has been modified by the action of
persons which reduce the land's natural ability to absorb and hold rainfall. This includes areas that have
been cleared, graded, paved (parking lots), graveled, compacted, or covered with structures (building
footprint). The base charge is the same used for the residential properties - $6.00 per ERU per month.
However, the present value of one ERU for nonresidential property is 1,548 square feet of impervious
area which is divided into their total impervious area and then multiplied by the $6.00 per ERU.
Staff is proposing a 35% reduction cost to properties over 10 acres. The property owner will need to
complete an application for the cost reduction with the following, in order to receive reimbursement
after paying the total stormwater fees:
1. The properties will need to maintain a valid National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES) stormwater discharge permit. The property owner must send the stormwater
management utility director a copy of the NPDES Permit and subsequent renewals.
2. Property owners must demonstrate that their existing stormwater or new Stormwater Control
Measure controls the volume and quality of stormwater generated from their immediate
Developed Property (onsite) by providing facts, opinions, survey data, and signed and sealed
engineering reports and calculations to substantiate their reduction.
3. The property owner’s must maintain preventive/corrective maintenance program for all critical
facilities and systems of treatment and control (or related appurtenances) which are installed or
used by the owner or operator to achieve the goals of this law. Property owner must document
all operation and maintenance activities and provide the City with a report annually by April 30.
Therefore, failure to maintain the stormwater facilities onsite or provide the above information of
maintenance or other pertinence information to the City may result in a denial of the cost reduction
request for the following year.
Analysis
One example of a problem of properties over 10 acres (approximately 56 properties) is the flooding of
parking lots where they are not being maintained. Therefore, this proposed cost reduction will be a way
of property owners having an incentive in maintaining their stormwater system and the actual
stormwater on the property and document their maintenance activities through the year.
Staff reviewed the entire the ordinance and found other sections needed to be revised and/or added:
• Sec. 26-26: Fee Schedule and Payment - the collection of stormwater management utility fees
through the tax roll as a non-ad valorem fee;
• Sec. 26-31: Enforcement/Penalties – aligns Ordinance with Florida State Statue 197.172;
• Sec. 26-32: Prohibitions – lists nine prohibited acts, authority to issue cease and deist orders for
prohibited activities, and liability for pollution abatement; and
• Establishes Sec. 26-33: Permits, Plan Reviews, Inspections, and Administrative Fees.
Fiscal Impact

18605 NW 27 Ave.,
Miami Gardens, Florida 33056
This proposed 35% cost reduction with the new stormwater fee of $6.00 per ERU will generate
additional revenue of approximately $1.5 million based on FY 2017 certification.
Proposed Action:
Recommend Council approval of the Stormwater 35% cost reduction for non-residential properties over
10 acres and other changes/additions in the ordinance.

taxes and superior in rank and dignity to all other liens, encumbrances, titles, and claims in, to or against
the developed property involved for the period of five years from the date said fees, late charges, and
interest accrued thereupon, become a lien as set forth in this article. Said lien may be enforced and
satisfied by the city, on behalf of the stormwater management utility, pursuant to F.S. ch. 173, as
amended from time to time, or any other method permitted by law. The lien provided for herein shall
not be deemed to be in lieu of any other legal remedies for recovery of said fee, late charges, and
accrued interest available in the city and to the utility. The following conditions shall apply:
(1) Notice. For fees which become more than 60 days past due and unpaid, the city or the stormwater
management utility shall cause to be filed in the county public records, a notice of lien or statement
showing a legal description of the property against which the lien is claimed, its location by street and
number, the name of the owner, and an accurate statement of the fees and late charges then unpaid. A
copy of such notice of lien may be mailed within a reasonable time to the owner of the property
involved as shown by the records of the county tax collector.
(2) Appeals. A property owner shall have ten days after receipt of a bill to request an appeal in writing to
the city's code enforcement special master. Said request shall be mailed to the attention of the finance
22 OF 212
director, shall be in writing, and shall state the basis for the appeal. Upon receipt of a notice of appeal,
the city shall schedule a hearing before the special master and shall provide notice of the date of the
hearing to the property owner by certified mail. If a request for an appeal is not filed within the ten-day
time frame, the lien shall be deemed valid. If the city is the prevailing party on appeal, a $100.00
administrative fee shall be assessed against the property owner.
(3) Satisfaction. Liens may be discharged and satisfied by payment to the city, on behalf of the utility, of
the aggregate amounts specified in the notice of lien, together with interest accrued thereon, and all
filing and recording fees. When any such lien has been fully paid or discharged, the city shall cause
evidence of the satisfaction and discharge of such lien to be filed with the office of the clerk of the
circuit court of the county. Any person, firm, corporation, or other legal entity, other than the present
owner of the property involved, who fully pays any such lien shall be entitled to an assignment of lien
and shall be subrogated to the rights of the city and the utility with respect to the enforcement of such
lien.
(4) Exemption to notice. Notwithstanding other provisions to the contrary herein, the city on behalf of
the stormwater management utility shall have the discretion not to file notices of lien for fees, late
charges, and interest accrued thereupon in an amount less than $100.00. If the city or the stormwater
management utility elects not to file a notice of lien, said fees, late charges, and accrued interest shall
remain as debts due and owing in accordance with the provisions of this article.
(5) Certificates verifying amount of debt. The utility is authorized and directed to execute and deliver
upon request written certificates certifying the amount of fees, late charges, and interest accrued
thereupon, which are due and owing to the utility and the city, for any developed property which is
subject to payment of said fees, or the utility may certify that no fees, late charges or accrued interest
are due and owing. Said certificates shall be binding upon the city and the utility. Third party requests
for certificates may incur a reasonable charge based on administration and clerical time to research,
produce and transmit said certificates.

GARDENS, FLORIDA, RECOGNIZING JUNE AS ELDER ABUSE
AWARENESS MONTH IN THE CITY OF MIAMI GARDENS; PROVIDING
FOR THE ADOPTION OF REPRESENTATIONS; PROVIDING FOR AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
Staff Summary:
Councilwoman Davis through her work with Sharpe Towers and the community, knows firsthand
that there are many Elderly residents in the City of Miami Gardens. Elder Abuse is an issue
Councilwoman Davis takes to heart. The global population of people aged 60 years and older
will more than double, from 542 million in 1995 to 1.2 billion in 2025. Around 4 to 6 percent of
elderly people have experienced some form of maltreatment at home. Elder maltreatment can
lead to serious physical injuries and long-term psychological consequences.
Agenda Item K-2
Elder Abuse Month
28 OF 212
18605 NW 27th Avenue
Miami Gardens, Florida 33056
Unfortunately the incidence of abuse towards older people is predicted to increase as many
countries are experiencing rapidly ageing populations.
Elder abuse is a global social issue, which affects the health and human rights of millions of
older persons around the world, and is an issue which deserves the attention.
June is the month dedicated to raising awareness for abuse of the elderly. Elder Abuse
Awareness Month is tackling a huge, important issue since many seniors are being abused. The
abuse can be physical, financial or emotional.
Elder abuse can take place in an older person's home. Caretakers in an institution can be the
perpetrators. Scam artists can get at them over the phone, via computer or at their front door.
Sadly, many cases of abuse are at the hands of family.
The intent of this resolution is to bring attention and social awareness of this global issue to the
residents of Miami Gardens.
Proposed Action:
That the City Council approves the attached Resolution.

A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MIAMI
GARDENS, FLORIDA AUTHORIZING CITY MANAGER TO AMEND THE
ORIGINAL SCOPE OF SERVICES WITH GREATER MIAMI SERVICE
CORP, NUNC PRO TUNC TO JULY 2016, FOR JANITORIAL AND
LANDSCAPING MAINTENANCE; PROVIDING FOR THE ADOPTION OF
REPRESENTATIONS; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Staff Summary:
Background
On December 11 , 2014, Council approved Resolution No. 2014-213-2192 which authorized
Parks and Recreation to enter into a contract with the Greater Miami Service Corp (GMSC) in
the amount of $45,000 to provide landscaping maintenance activities and services to include mowing, weeding/edging, pruning/trimming, and pest control/herbicide application at twelve
(12) specific park locations.
The initial term of the contract between City and GMSC was for one (1) year from the date of
execution and provided a renewal period not exceed (3) years or the term of the original contract, whichever period is longer. Renewals shall be contingent upon satisfactory
performance and subject to the availability of funds.
Agenda Item K-5
Greater Miami
Service Corp
46 OF 212
18605 NW 27 Avenue
Miami Gardens, Florida 33056
Current Situation
In July 2016, Parks and Recreation asked GMSC to expand the original scope of services to
include pick sticking, cleaning of restrooms, emptying of trash containers and landscaping at
five (5) additional park facilities within the City. The change in scope increased the original contract amount from from $45,000 per year to $80,000.00. As a result of this administrative
oversight, a shortfall occurred within the FY2016 amount budgeted to cover the increase in
services leaving an outstanding balance due to GMSC.
In accordance with the contract, the City, based on need may increase or decrease the budgetary ceiling by amendment to the agreement. The reason for this request is due to the
decrease of Park Maintenance staff primarily respnsponsible for grounds maintainance and and
janitorial services. Staff is requesting to ammend the original scope of services and to increase
the total amount of the contract by change order to the Greater Miami Service Corp, nunc pro
tunc to July 2016. However, this contract will terminated as of June 30, 2017.
Fiscal Impact
Funds are available in the salary line item to cover this increase in cost directly attributed to
vacancies in the Park Maintenance Division.
Proposed Action:
Staff recommends the approval of the change order to he Greater Miami Service Corp from
$45,000 to $80,000, for park maintenance landscaping/janitorial services.

The City of Miami Gardens and Miami-Dade County executed/amended Interlocal Agreements on
February 26, 2007 in the amount of $75,000, on October 29, 2012 in the amount of $1,000,000 and on
February 19, 2014 in the amount of $373,000 for a total funding allocation of $1,448,000 for North Dade

Current Situation:
The City has successfully utilized BBC GOB funds to construct a new 2,502 sq. ft. recreation building
including a covered porch and public restroom facilities at North Dade Optimist Park. A lighted 106-
space parking lot and all-purpose sports field have also been installed. Additionally, site work including
installation of a lift station, storm water system and irrigation has been completed.
The City will also utilize BBC GOB funds to assist the construction of a facility that includes the
construction of a new pool and a new pool house building at Bunche Park Pool. Additionally, other site
improvements will include a new parking lot, hardscape improvements, lighting, fencing, landscaping,

Community Development
Enclosed is a list of accomplishments completed from March 2017 to May 2017.
CDBG Public Services Request For Proposals (RFP) – The Public Service Evaluation Committee has
concluded its evaluation of the CDBG Public Service Program RFP proposals for FY 2017-18. The
committee has submitted funding recommendations to fund (10) agencies or organizations that provide
social or public services to city residents and that have a 501(c)3 status from the IRS. There will be a
council hearing on July 12, 2017 for the Public Service Proposals being recommended for funding. The
City successfully instituted a completely new online application process this year using the ZoomGrants
system. This system allowed a much easier and seamless application process without a single piece of
paper needing to be printed or copied, thereby saving applicants’ time and money during the application
process. The estimated amount of funding available for FY 2017-18 is approximately $145,000.
Florida Department of Emergency Management – The City was recently awarded a State Funded
Mitigation Grant in the amount of $194,000. The grant will be used to support the existing Housing
Rehabilitation and Mitigation Program and to further provide mitigation improvements to qualified low-
to-moderate income elderly homeowners. The City’s Housing Rehabilitation and Mitigation Program is
already set up to provide a comprehensive approach to hardening of the home by using a tiered system
for rehabilitation which prioritizes disaster mitigation improvements including roof replacement and
improvements; window and door opening protection; the installation of shutters on exterior openings;
and structural repairs. The repairs will not only safe guard the home and its occupants, but also provide an
added savings to the homeowner’s insurance premiums.
The Commons Project – Construction on the 24-unit residential building for elderly rental housing
has been completed. RUDG-The Commons, the developer, have obtained their Certificate of Occupancy.
All 24-units have been leased to low-income elderly households.

Demolition of Unsafe Structures – The CD department continues to work in conjunction with the
Building Department and the Unsafe Structures Board to demolish properties that have a demolition
ordered by the USB. To date seven properties have been demolished successfully. The City is actively
working with the Building Director to identify properties with the intent to redevelop the vacant parcels
of land by constructing a single family home for an eligible low-to-moderate income family. The funding
for this project is coming from recaptured Neighborhood Stabilization Program (NSP) funds.

KMGB Quarterly Report
Keep America Beautiful (KAB) Annual
• We are up to date with all KAB reporting.
• We are implementing changes suggested at the KAB National Conference in January. These changes
involve the way we evaluate the effectiveness of our programs and projects.
• Keep America Beautiful won the President’s Circle award at the conference. This distinction is given to
affiliates who exceed the minimum requirements to remain in good standing.
• We have kicked off the Great American Cleanup. We have hosted a total of 7 projects.
Landscape Maintenance
• City crews are currently maintaining all landscape areas throughout the city: fertilizing, mulching,
weeding, adding pre-emergent, replacing sod and removing dead palms and shrubs. Staff has modified landscaping schedules to accommodate for the dry season. The crews are concentration on fertilizing the sick and healthy palms in the city. Some of the palms along NW 7th avenue between 183rd Street
185 OF 212
Quarterly Report 56 | Page
and 199th street have been removed and will be replaced with healthy canopy trees. The new irrigation system is complete. The new trees will be installed after some touchups are made to the system.
• The crews have been working diligently to keep up with the removal of weeds and mowing the
medians. We are now in the dry season so things are starting to slow down. If successful, we will be
changing some processes going into next year to gain better control over the removal of weeds.
Mulching will play a major role in this endeavor. By increasing the number of inches of mulch applied, we hope to decrease the amount of weeds popping up.
• We are continuously updating the tree inventory and assessing hazards in our canopy. Once hazards are
identified, we input a work order to remove the tree or save the tree if possible. Trees that are removed
are replaced with a different Florida native species.
• The crews are still replacing plants in medians all over the City. This plant replacement project will
continue. As we replace plants, we notice that accidents are ruining our landscaping almost every
weekend. We are mulching areas as well. Some of our irrigation systems are still in need of repair. We
still have a few areas remaining that need sod. Sod installation has resumed. Community Planting 2016
• KMGB Coordinator continues to schedule canal and community plantings. We are looking forward to working with a missionary group from out of state during the spring break season. Tree Planting
• We are continuing our tree planting efforts. The Tree Canopy Study has helped us identify areas that
need trees and will also determine our canopy coverage.
• We have several street tree planting projects that have been completed recently and some currently in progress.
