LTC 040-2019 Resilience Capital Budget Workshop January 18, 2019MIAMI BEACH OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER NO. LTC # 040-2019 LETTER TO COMMISSION TO: Mayor Dan Gelber and Members f the Cit Commission DATE: January 22, 2019 SUBJECT: Resilience Capital Budget Worksh p January 18 , 2019 I am pleased to share an update on how we are increasing resilience in our capital projects . On Friday, January 18, 2019, a resilience training workshop was held for project management staff. By encouraging interdisciplinary thinking early on in capital project development, we can increase the benefits of designing with a resilience lens. Benefits ranging from water retention , to increased shade , to mobility-can be maximized from day one of planning . The capital budget is created through an existing citywide process and a prime opportunity to integrate more resilience. The budget submittal forms have been adjusted to specifically identify resilience improvements and their multiple benefits . I've also asked that staff be innovative and to include unfunded resilience improvements. By identifying resil ience improvements, we can also better position the city for grant funding opportunities. The training was led by Amy Knowles , Deputy Resilience Officer in my office, Elizabeth Wheaton, Director of Environment and Sustainability, and Maria Cerna , Division Director of Capital Improvements. The team provided a resilience overview, examples , and resources . I have attached the PowerPoint and list of Resilience Enhancement Improvements. The forty-seven attendees had excellent questions and suggestions for additional resources. I look forward to their ideas and projects this spring . Please contact Susanne Torriente , Chief Resilience Officer/ Assistant City Manager with any questions.

To respond to impacts of urbanization, globalization, and climate change. The Resilient Cities Network is comprised of 100 cities spanning 40 countries and 27 languages. Introduction Greater Miami & the Beaches Resilient GM&B is a collaboration among Miami-Dade County, City of Miami, and City of Miami Beach, created to respond to the region’s major challenges. In 2016, after a very competitive process of more than 400 applicants, GM&B was selected to join 100RC. With the support of 100RC, we are creating your resilience strategy! URBAN RESILIENCE Is the capacity of individuals, communities, institutions, businesses, and systems within a city to survive, adapt, and grow no matter what kinds of chronic stresses and acute shocks they experience. GM&B Context Water attracted many us here-as we adapt to more water, how can we thrive socially, environmentally, and economically? How can we leverage and protect the Everglades and Biscayne Bay? This discovery area will focus investing in natural and man-made infrastructure to rise above and learn to live with water to create a more resilient community in the face of storms and sea level rise.

Sustainability is a term that refers to the extent that a system in its current state will be able to meet the economic, environmental, and social needs of future generations. DON’T GET STUCK WITH THE WORD ‘SUSTAINABILITY’ Commission Management Departments •2050 Vision •2020 Goals •Mission •Objectives •Budget •Actions/ Projects •Programs STRATEGIC PLANNING through the Lens of Resilience ONE STRATEGY 11 Instead of separate strategic and resilience plans, ONE strategy will focus on the City’s Strategic Goals and Objectives through the lens of resilience.

ACMs Susy Torriente, Kathy Brooks, Eric Carpenter and Mark Taxis will oversee and monitor department implementation of Commission 2050 Vision and 2020 Goals through targeted Management Objectives and Department actions and priorities.

Infrastructure investment presents an opportunity to advance Miami Beach’s other quality-of-life and economic development goals. For example, raised streets represent the opportunity to implement complete streets investments such as bike lanes and improved sidewalks, which are in line with the city’s current Street Design Guide. Other co-benefits include decreased impacts from extreme storm events, faster rebounds for affected areas, improved resident health because of more welcoming physical spaces that encourage walkability and bikeability, more opportunities for public art and reduced congestion due to alternative transportation modes.
