OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
LTC # 266-2019 LETTER TO COMMISSION
TO: Mayor Dan Gelber and Members of t e City Co 'mission
FROM: Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager LIIIIIIIIi
DATE: May 1, 2019
SUBJECT: Cleanliness Index & Assessment Pro ram Results for FY 2018/19 Quarter 2
The purpose of this Letter to Commission is to communicate the results of the award
winning Cleanliness Index and Assessment program from FY 2018/19 Quarter 2 (January 1,
2019 to March 31, 2019).
Key Q2 Metrics:
• Citywide Cleanliness Index Rating: 1.65
• Citywide Cleanliness Index Compared to FY18 Quarter 2: 8.3% improvement
• Citywide Percent Assessments Meeting Target: 80.7%
Background
The Miami Beach Public Area Cleanliness Index is an objective measurement of
performance ranging from 1.0 (Very Clean) to 6.0 (Very Dirty) and includes assessments of
litter, garbage cans/dumpsters, organic material, and fecal matter. The results of the
assessments are used to monitor the impacts of recently implemented initiatives to target
areas for future improvements, and assure the quality of services. Quarterly sample sizes
are set to ensure no greater than a ±5.0 percentage point sampling error given the 95%
confidence level for each of the public areas assessed.
During FY 2006/07, the City tightened the target for the Citywide and area-specific
cleanliness indicators from 2.0 to 1.5 — the lower the score on the cleanliness index
indicates a cleaner area. This target continues to be the same from FY 2007/08 to date. As
important, the City also has a goal to ensure that 90 percent of assessments score 2.0 or
better, with awareness to seasonal fluctuations. The scores are compared to the same
quarter in prior years to account for seasonal variations.
The program received the 2007 Sterling Quality Team Showcase Award. All improvement
action plans implemented are validated against the Index. Cleanliness results at the end of
each quarter inform stakeholders if the action plans have worked or if they need to be
adjusted. Tangible benefits obtained as a result of the program include the city's
achievement of one of its strategic objectives to be cleaner.
Summary of the Cleanliness Assessment Results FY 2018/19 Quarter 2
Overall, the Citywide Cleanliness Index improved during FY 2018/19 Quarter 2 when
compared to the same quarter in FY 2017/18 by 8.3% to 1.65. Additionally, FY averages
reflect steady progression as evidenced by the Index, anecdotal information, and results of
our most recent resident survey. Additionally, 80.7% of all public area assessments scored
2.0 or better (target=90%) in FY 2018/19 Quarter 2. Cleanliness continues to remain a top
priority for the City.
Positive and Stable Areas in FY 2018/19 Quarter 2
• Parks- Parks deteriorated to 1.53 or 9.3% when compared to the prior quarter and
remained stable from the prior FY with 87.8% of assessments meeting the target.
Parks will review data specific playground cleanliness to determine if a community
outreach would be useful.
• Waterways - Scores improved by 22.8% or 1.59 when compared to the same
quarter in the prior Fiscal Year. The percent of assessment meeting the 2.0 target
improved by 19.0% or 88.6% meeting target when compared to the same quarter in
the prior Fiscal Year. Issues appear to be organic material in non-hotspot
waterways. The current agreement was extended and a new RFP has been drafted
for review which will include cleanliness data and fine issuance for not meeting
established standards for litter.
• Sidewalks- Sidewalks remained stable at 1.59 compared to the prior quarter and
remained stable compared to the prior FY with overall percent meeting target at
85.8%. Commercial entertainment areas improved at 1.50 and commercial non-
entertainment areas improved at 1.60 compared to the same quarter in the prior FY
by 19.4% and 8% respectively. The primary issue continues to appear to be litter on
the ground and organic material in residential and non-entertainment areas during
the weekday daytime hours.
• Beaches - Beach areas maintained by CMB improved to 1.59 or 9.7% compared to
the same quarter in the prior FY year and areas serviced by the MDC improved to
1.44 or 8.9% compared to the same quarter in the prior FY. The issue appears to
be litter in the dunes during the weekend. Sanitation currently provides litter pick up
daily for approximately five feet into the dunes from the beach and beachwalk areas.
Parks and Sanitation dedicated 13-15 team members to clean the shoreline between
8pm-10pm, 7 days a week, throughout the month of March.
Areas of Focus in FY 2018/19 Quarter 2
• Alleys-Alleys improved to 1.88 or 14.2% when compared to the same quarter in the
prior FY with 75.7% of assessments meeting the target of 2.0, a 10.5% improvement.
This remains a poor scoring area since program inception; however, this is the most
improvement in the past two years. Sanitation alley service operates Monday
through Friday (5 days a week) every morning from 5th Street to Espanola Way for
litter removal. Code continues to support this effort citywide with officers required to
conduct a minimum of one (1) hour of sanitation and alleyway inspections each day
in the morning and afternoon. Code and Sanitation will continue to review warning
weekend issuance for overflowing dumpsters to determine weekend service needs,
as well as review data.
• Parking Lots - Scores at 1.99 improved by 7.4% from the prior quarter and 2.5%
from the same quarter in the prior FY. The percent of assessments meeting the 2.0
standard improved to 69.8% compared to the same quarter in the prior FY, a 2.2%
improvement. Sanitation will continue to replace twist cans with larger green cans in
select lots, space permitting, as well as add additional cans as needed. A litter can
garbage truck route may be added after 1pm to service the cans with an emphasis
on parking lots with low scores. Current resources will be utilized.
• Streets— Streets remained stable 1.62 when compared to the prior quarter.
Commercial entertainment streets improved to 1.62 or 4.7% from the same quarter in
the prior FY. 84.5% of streets are scoring 2.0 or better. Commercial non-
entertainment streets deteriorated by 1.2% when compared to the same quarter in
the prior FY. Sanitation will continue to monitor, especially in areas serviced more
frequently.

Cleanliness Key Intended Outcome
Cleanliness was identified in our community surveys as a key driver affecting overall quality
of life. In addition, in the 2016 survey, residents and businesses rated cleanliness as one of
the services the City should strive not to reduce. The City has implemented increases in
service levels and community satisfaction levels have improved. Overall scores have
improved by 16.1% from FY 2005/06 to FY 2017/18.
Next Quarter Assessments
City part-time staff is conducting cleanliness assessments every quarter. Additionally,
residents are always welcome to participate. If you or any member of your staff is interested
in participating in the City's Public Area Cleanliness and Appearance Program, please
contact Dr. Leslie Rosenfeld with Organization Development Performance Initiatives at
extension 6923.
If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me.
