Fernandez, hair SUBJECT: Honoring former Hispanic Affairs Committee commissioner Jorge Exposito Former commissioner Jorge Exposito is a beloved neighbor in our city. Over his many decades of residency in Miami Beach, Jorge has contributed to the betterment of our schools, parks, and community as a whole. In 2009, Jorge was elected to the City Commission. During his term of service, Jorge made great personal sacrifices to fulfill his commitment to the residents,a responsibility he did not take lightly, and which led him to place the interest of the public ahead of his own. Recognizing the invaluable contributions of this caring and humble leader, yesterday, I stated and entertained the following motion, moved by Vice Chair Gabriel Paez, seconded by committee member Frankie Trullenque,and approved by a unanimous vote of committee members present: A motion of the Hispanic Affairs Committee requesting that the City Commission identify an appropriate interior portion of the existing Par 3 and proposed Community Park to be permanently named and dedicated in honor of the Honorable Jorge R Exposito who served as a Miami Beach City Commissioner from 2009 to 2013. I respectfully request your assistance and guidance to ensure that this request advances through the proper committee(s)and legislative process in a timely manner. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions regarding this motion. Thank you.

As the major stakeholder of real estate along 17th Street, the City of Miami Beach should consider restrictinguture development on City-owned property to prohibit the development of additional transient and non-transient dwelling units along 17tI'Street, with theexception of car-light workforce housing. b. To promote pedestrianism, between''the Convention Center District and Lincoln Road, future proposed developments along 17th Street and within the Convention Center District, the City of Miami Beach should consider new policy to only approve'those proposed developments that do not cause an increase in!the number of daily peak hour trips than the existing use at the time of application. c. To maximize the use of existing infrastructure and increase capacity without expanding existing roads, the City of Miami Beach should consider theY implementation of reversible lanes on 17th Street and within the Convention District with the potential of decreasing congestion by borrowing Tx capacity from the opposite(off-peak) direction. cih a' To complement the shuttle services and public transportation services that will lie available to hotel guests and further minimize traffic impacts, the City of Miami Beach should consider designating a dedicated bus lane on 17th Street.

After review of the 72nd Street Project, the Parks and Recreational Facilities Advisory Board strongly supports that a 50 meter pool and 25 meter warm-up pool be included in the scope. The Board further recommends the following: that the fitness center remains that a multi-use active park with sports lights be included that the orientation of the grandstands at the pool face the beach that resiliency and sustainability efforts be included in the project that the all-wheels skate park be relocated as long as it finds a new funded home in the West Lots the track should be ground level for the purpose of maximizing space raising or shifting transmission lines should be explored connectivity between the North Shore Youth Center, Band Shell and 72nd Street Project should be considered The Parks and Recreational Facilities Advisory Board motions to support a 17.5% increase to the non-resident rates across programming and facility rental fees. Since there has not been an increase in fees in the past 15 years and programming costs continue to grow, the Parks and Recreational Facilities Advisory Board motions to increase the resident rates by 10%, keeping in mind that all fees should be reviewed annually with the goal of enhancing programming, park facilities and staffing. As part of the contract negotiations with the awarded bidder for the Golf Course Operation and Management Services, the Parks and Recreational Facilities Advisory Board motions for the following points to be considered: Revisit increasing the membership cap at the Miami Beach Golf Club Implement a Rain Check policy in line with industry standards Extend resident rates to Active Duty/Retired Military Explore a 9-hole rate Explore installing a weather warning system at both golf courses The Parks and Recreational Facilities Advisory Board motions for the Parks and Recreation Department to pursue an Imagination Playground and to look for an activation that can tie into this year's Art Basel.

The Board also motions to support the possibility of a custom playground in light of the passing of the G.O. Bond. In keeping with the previous motion made to have a unique art installation that serves as an interactive playground for children at the pocket park on 20th and Alton, the Parks and Recreational Facilities Advisory Board recommends the Fahr Wall feature which can incorporate an artistic design with the artist selected through an objective process. The Board also recommends respecting the proportion and scale of the park to include a maximum of 2 additional elements such as the "corn fields" and "mounds". The Parks and Recreational Facilities Advisory Board motions to recommend the following two names for the property currently referred to as the "P-Lot Park" at the Convention Center: Convention Center Park and Memorial Park. The Parks and Recreational Facilities Advisory Board motions to recommend naming the property currently referred to as the "Northern Convention Center Park at 21st Street" to Convention Center Waterway Park and that input from the immediate neighborhood and the AiPP Board is received for additional naming suggestions. The Parks and Recreational Facilities Advisory Board motions to have the Department of Communications create a city-wide public outreach campaign for naming recommendations for the property currently referred to as the "Par 3 — Future Community Park" that includes a park name and an option for commentary on how the name was derived. Furthermore, the outreach should include the video provided by the architects and that naming recommendations describe the area, neighborhood, municipal history, and special features of the park. Another component of the outreach should entail engaging the children of the City's Parks and Recreation programs for naming suggestions as well. The Parks and Recreational Facilities Advisory Board supports the motion made by the Hispanic Affairs Committee to memorialize Commissioner Exposito with a permanent plaque, bench or any installation in the "Par 3 — Future Community Park" as the City Commission sees fit.

Please see below: Minutes of July 16, 2017 meeting: Members Present: Daniel Aronson John Deutzman Stuart Schikora Pamela Brumer Robert Jenkins, FOP Seth Feuer Julian Linares Bruce Reich Pedro A. Cofino Robert Jenkins (FOP President) Sid Goldin (guest) Officer Kevin Millan (FOP V.P) Faye Goldin (guest) Captain Mildred Pfrogner Chief Daniel J. Oates Officer Eric Shultz Adam Kravitz (via telephone) Steven Oppenheimer (guest) Lt. Steve Feldman Chief Oates provided an update on the arson case at 5601 Collins Ave. Update on the LPR project given by Lt. Steve Feldman. Further expansion of the program has been proposed in the G.O. Bond and some funding still exists through the regular budget process. The value of LPRs for law enforcement is indisputable. It is the "bang for the buck" for public safety enhancements. Additions to the security camera systems in the Entertainment District, Business Districts, and adding them to the existing Beach Walk in the South Area are also included in the G.O. Bond proposals. The G.O. Bond committee has expressed the hesitation on using 30-year debt to fund technology purchases that have much shorter (approximately 5 year for LPRs and cameras) life spans. The G.O. Bond committee believes if the voters approve, the funding should be applied to "Brick and Mortar" type of improvements to the City's infrastructure. Captain Mimi Pfrogner and Officer Eric Shultz provided an update on policing the middle area wooden boardwalk. Many of the chronic homeless petty theft offenders have moved to the C:\Users\Clerdagc\Appdata\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.Outlook\8Z6WTKBT\PCR Br- Annual Report Dec 2018.Docx Page 1 BOARDS AND COMMITTEE BI-ANNUAL REPORT boardwalk area due to enhanced enforcement in the Entertainment and South areas. There are regular groups of homeless/quality of life offenders that congregate in the covered hut structures on the boardwalk. The same groups congregate every day. There is a limit to what police can do without violating their civil rights during the hours the beach is open to the public. John Deutzman — There is all types of criminal activity taking place under the boardwalk. It is a public safety priority to have it torn down and replaced with the continuation of the beach walk. The expansion of the park ranger program is also very important. We've heard that it is being cut from the budget. These are all important public safety issues that we should be advocating for. Whether the technology upgrades are funded through the G.O. Bond or through the regular budget process doesn't really matter, as long as they are funded. A motion was made to support the funding of expanding the LPR program, installation of security cameras on the beach walk in the south, in the Entertainment District and Business Districts, and replace the wooden sections of the middle area boardwalk with the completion of the beach walk system. The motion passed unanimously.

It is a split second decision in which you need to rely on your training and make the best judgment possible during a stressful situation. We use the simulator for training for a variety of reasons. The MBPD has a small firearms range and live ammunition is very expensive. This technology gives us the ability to train under a wide range of circumstances. Reaction time is a factor of human physiology. It takes a certain amount of time to turn and react. It is easy to second guess after the incident has occurred but being in the actual real time scenario is a very eye opening experience. Civilians are able to schedule a ride-along with an officer or ride bikes with me on Ocean Drive. The peak periods to see active police work are late evening on Friday and Saturday nights. We are still struggling with hiring. We were at full employment around June. In August 8 officers retired leaving us many vacancies again. We will discuss our hiring process and challenges at the next committee meeting. There are seven new officers in the academy that will finish in February. Seven officers on injured reserve and fourteen officers just finished their field training program. These fourteen officers just spent two weeks patrolling Ocean Drive before the next shift bid takes effect and they go to their regular assignments. John Deutzman — The huts on the Boardwalk are in the process of being demolished. This will go a long ways to improving pedestrian safety for our residents and visitors enjoying the area.

Most young people do not aspire to be police officers. It is increasingly difficult to find applicants that can pass the background standards. We require a college degree or 3 years military service (honorable discharge). There are many issues impacting successful recruitment including prior drug usage, driving records, etc. We will talk about these issues in depth next month. John Deutzman —What about alcohol and cigarettes? They are just as bad for you as illegal drugs. Chief Oates — That is a public policy debate. The Police Department has to operate under existing laws. Officer Castillo and Officer Castro - Meggitt Simulator was purchased with federal grants. It is also used by the military for training. It is a very reliable training tool for development of the decision making process and tactical skills. It is able to produce a wide variety of scenarios that are based on incidents that have actually occurred. The weapon used in the exercise is the same weight as an actual gun and operates in the same fashion. Several scenarios were demonstrated with committee members participating in the training exercises. Each use of deadly force is evaluated for the objective reasonableness based on training and experience. All officers receive training on how to deescalate situations with subjects where mental illness may be a factor. 1. First scenario had a disturbed student threatening other students with a knife. 2. Second scenario had officers following a vehicle for a routine traffic stop. Shots were fired at the officers from the vehicle. Eventually the subjects bail out and a foot chase ensues. The policy for not shooting at moving vehicles was discussed. 3. Third scenario had a former employee armed with a shotgun confronting his supervisor. 4. Fourth scenario was a mass casualty/active shooter incident at a hospital with multiple subjects and an explosion. Active shooter presentations have been done at many local businesses and schools throughout the community. One of the main issues is key card access to restricted spaces and gaining entry into the impacted area. Minutes of the November 20, 2018 Meeting: Members Present: Richard Hull John Deutzman C:\Users\Clerdagc\Appdata\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.Outlook\8Z6WTKBT\PCR Bi- Annual Report Dec 2018.Docx Page 4 BOARDS AND COMMITTEE BI-ANNUAL REPORT Anthony Garcia Matt Salom Bruce Reich Daniel Aronson Pamela Brumer Lizette Lopez Julian Linares Major Samir Guerrero Sgt. Arley Flaherty Hiring / Recruitment Presentation by Sgt. Arley Flaherty: The MBPD began a major new recruitment effort in 2015. This included a closer working relationship with the Human Resources Department. The new initiative utilized a combination of communication methods including a new emphasis on social media (Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook) and attending college job fairs throughout south and central Florida. Recruiting well qualified candidates is extremely difficult for all law enforcement agencies in today's current social climate. Law enforcement is not viewed as a potential career path for many young people due to various social stereotyping of police officers. To combat this challenge, the MBPD has worked hard to reach a more diverse group of prospective candidates. This effort has included participating in various recruitment outreach events in addition to college job fairs. The non-certified applicants must be 21 years old, have their bachelor's college degree or 3 years of military active duty service with an honorable discharge and have a valid driver's license. Certified applicants must have the same three requirements and also have a State of Florida Basic Law Enforcement Certificate in good standing or Florida Corrections Cross Training Certification or Compliance, or be currently attending a Basic Law Enforcement Academy. In the last group of 560 applicants, approximately 150 applicants were eligible to take oral and written exams, 84 passed and were able to start the background process. The MBPD is determined to hire the best new officers and has a stringent backgrounds process. This includes the following: o Verification of qualifying credentials o Criminal and Civil records check o Character References o Home interview and neighborhood check o Employment history check o Drug Use o Driving History o Education o Financial/Credit History o Social Network Check o CVSA/Polygraph Exam o Psychological Exam o Medical Exam C:\Users\Clerdagc\Appdata\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.Outlook\8Z6WTKBT\PCR Bi- Annual Report Dec 2018.Docx Page 5 BOARDS AND COMMITTEE BI-ANNUAL REPORT There are 9 new police officer trainees starting the police academy in December and 8 applicants still in the backgrounds process. We are hoping for a total of 17. The MBPD is working hard to have a diverse workforce. In the last year, 11 new female officers were hired. The MBPD is 65% Hispanic. The current budget level is 415 sworn officers. The MBPD background process similar to other local police departments. Many applicants are eliminated from the process due to drug usage (schedule 2 narcotics and more than 7 times experimental use of marijuana) and inconsistent statements (between their background information forms and psychological exam questionnaire, and applications at other police departments). The Chief can make an exception for use of Adderall on a case by case basis. A background investigation can take from 60 to 90 days to complete. The file is then reviewed up the chain of command to the Deputy Chief. If approved by the Deputy Chief or Chief, the file then goes to the Human Resources Director for final approval. Pamela Brumer—The current staffing levels are not enough. Major Guerrero — We are hoping to be at full staffing in approximately six months. Additional officers have been added to assign officers at schools that don't have a School Board officer. Reaching full staffing levels is very difficult. All agencies are competing for the best applicants. We had a large number of retirements this year. John Deutzman — The officers on Ocean Drive are overwhelmed during busy times. We need more police everywhere, but staffing levels have not increased with the increase in special events each year. Sgt. Flaherty — The Chief is going to be asking to hire over budget. By next September we should be at 420. The Backgrounds Unit also processes background investigations for other city departments include the park rangers, school crossing guards and code enforcement. John Deutzman —We also need more park rangers. Major Guerrero — Recruitment is a nationwide challenge. We are going to Washington DC in December for conference on law enforcement recruitment. We always need to be planning ahead for retirements. In 2021 there are 15 officers planning to retire.

Tony Loperfido Chief Oates Chief Oates provided an update to the committee on several recent high profile incidents. Sergeant Tony Loperfido presented information about Drone/USA technology and the use of new technology with tethered balloons. 1. Drones have potential use for traffic management, crime scene photography, search and rescue, hazardous materials, spills fire management, and personnel tracking. 2. Law enforcement use is limited due to FL Statute 934.50 (Freedom from unwanted surveillance act). This prohibits drones from being used in investigations unless a search warrant is obtained or unless swift law enforcement action is needed to protect life. 3. The drone was used in the recent building collapse on Collins Avenue to search the rubble for survivors and track the cadaver dogs. 4. A private citizen can fly drone over someone's back yard not operating under scope of police department and it does not violate the law. 5. Tethered ballons are not limited by this Florida Statute. They can be deployed with cameras and are an effective tool. 6. New technology is also being used with thermal cameras on beach at night. The Beach closes at 10:00pm. Officers can use the thermal cameras to check all thermal images at night on the beach.

The PPI is an activity of the National Flood Insurance Program's Community Rating System (CRS) that compliments the City's approach to economic resilience and public participation. This effort supports the development of a Miami Beach Rising Above Communications Strategy. During the last committee meeting, the following topics were addressed: Review of the CRS draft verification audit for the cycle visit Review of the Resiliency Communications Plan Annual Evaluation Report: target audiences, messages, desired outcomes, project implementation and progress made toward desired outcomes Review of audiences and additional engagement approaches Insurance coverage update: Flood insurance assessment findings Real Estate Agent Fact Sheet: Discussion on how to distribute the Fact Sheet Miami Association of Realtors Retreat Report: Information and issues for this Committee Approval to move the Annual Evaluation Report to City Commission FUTURE ACTIVITIES: Now that the Committee has been re-created for 2019, members will meet in Spring to plan next year's activities. The implementation and tracking of ongoing projects will continue throughout the year. The Committee is required to meet at least once a year to monitor and evaluate the Resiliency Communications Plan. Another item for this year is to seek feedback from the Committee on a stormwater resilience dashboard developed by City staff to monitor flood reduction efforts and flood awareness. C:\Users\Clerdagc\Appdata\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.Outlook\8Z6WTKBT\190104 Bi- Annual Report- Resilience Communications Committee.Docx Page 2 BOARDS AND COMMITTEE BI-ANNUAL REPORT ACCOMPLISHMENTS: The City received a letter with preliminary results of the City's Community Rating Score audit. The new score shows an improvement from Class 6 to 5, increasing savings from 20% to 25% in flood insurance premiums city-wide. This means flood insurance premium savings for Miami Beach policy holders will increase from $6.6 million to $8.3 million effective May 1, 2019, when results are expected to be accepted by DHS and FEMA. A Resiliency Communications Plan Annual Evaluation Report was developed to track implementation of projects, progress made toward outcomes of the Plan and recommendations for improvement. The Report was accepted by City Commission on December 12, 2018. The performance measures identified in this Report will serve as the basis for a Stormwater Resilience Dashboard displaying visualizations of metrics and data drill down. Another accomplishment is the completion of various outreach projects scheduled for the summer and fall of 2018. Outreach projects completed include flood awareness messages sent out through MB Magazine and via email to Neighborhood Associations; a Hurricane Preparedness Guide distributed to residents; and fact sheets sent out to various target audiences.
