Carlton if City Manager SUBJECT: MIAMI BEACH STORM WATER UTILITY ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION: The Administration recommends that the City Commission approve an Interlocal Agreement with Metropolitan Dade County to implement a Storm Water Utility for the City of Miami Beach in accordance with the provisions of Codified Chapter 24, Article IV, of the Code of Metropolitan Dade County. BACKGROUND: In keeping with Federal mandates,specifically,the Environmental Protection Agency National Pollutant Discharge Elimination (NPDES) permit regulations for storm water discharges, the City of Miami Beach, through an Interlocal Agreement with Dade County, is well underway with the two part NPDES permit application. Part one of the two step process essentially identifies the pollution sources. Step two is the development of a Master Plan including maintenance, remedial actions and, most importantly, the funding source for these actions. It is estimated that meeting the EPA-NPDES requirements, county-wide, including improving p g the storm water maintenance program will require over $12.0 million in Fiscal Year 91/92, escalating to over $23.0 million by Fiscal Year 94/95. The City of Miami Beach has over 250 outfalls, many of which will require a great deal of remedial work. Due to our miles of canals and shoreline, a substantial portion of the cost will be borne by the City of Miami Beach. In addressing the issue of funding the Board of County CommissionersP assed Ordinances Number 91-66 and Number 91-120, creating a county-wide (including municipalities) utility ordinance with a provision which allows municipalities the option of providing a different source of funds if they choose to do so. The storm water utility approach has been widely accepted throughout the state and nation as the best way to provide a stable funding source to address issues of water quality, flooding, ty and system maintenance. The City of Miami, Tallahassee, Orlando, and Sarasota County, are ounty some of the twenty-nine established storm water utilities. There are an additional fifty-three utilities � t ties in various stages of implementation within the state. The Metropolitan Dade County Ordinance, effective June 30, 1991, rovides the authority y to adopt storm water utility fees sufficient to plan, construct, operate and maintain, ublicl P Y owned storm water management systems. Subject to determined needs, the fees can vary in each municipality or jurisdiction. The storm water utility fee is based on a user fee concept P that is typical of existing potable water and sanitary sewer based utilities. Thero er P P tY owners are assigned equitable shares of the cost of storm water management, based on their 1 yr AGENDA ITEM DATE I • / I I COMMISSION MEMORANDUM SEPTEMBER 6, 1992 PAGE 2 SUBJECT: MIAMI BEACH STORM WATER UTILITY relative contribution of runoff to the storm water conveyance facilities. The relative runoff contribution is estimated by the amount of impervious area on the parcel. This allows the utility to equitably and fairly charge users, such that the charge reflects the degree of use of the storm water conveyance capacity and associated maintenance and administration costs. Of particular relevance to the City of Miami Beach, is that all the storm water maintenance can be covered by this funding source and will provide the funding for future improvements as may be mandated by Federal law. ANALYSIS: The cost per residential unit is $2.50 per month. Commercial properties are calculated on a formula based upon the amount of impermeable land. This is equitable since impermeable land creates off-site drainage needs. The estimated annual revenue will be $1.5 million dedicated to the improvement of the City's storm water drainage system. The specific projects will be approved by the City Commission each year. CONCLUSION The United States Environmental Protection Agency's National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit requires a two-step multi-year permitting process involving the entire County storm water systems. It is the EPA's intent to evaluate and force elimination of pollutant discharges. This program requires increased water quality and development of a master and management plans. It is the Administration's recommendation that the City Commission enter into an Interlocal Agreement with Metropolitan Dade County which includes implementing a storm water utility fee to fund the required storm water improvements and management plan. RMC/RAG/b Note: There will be changes to the proposed Agreement forwarded to the City Commission on Monday, August 10, 1992. 2 . . - /3_/, STORMWATER UTILITY INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA AND METROPOLITAN DADE COUNTY STORMWATER UTILITY METROPOLITAN DADE COUNTY STORMWATER UTILITY (305) 375-3235 111 NORTHWEST FIRST STREET, SUITE 1310 MIAMI, FLORIDA 33128 10/28/92 h• INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT FOR STORMWATER MANAGEMENT THIS INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT, [hereinafter the "Agreement " ] by and between the Metropolitan Dade County Stormwater Utility, a public body corporate and politic, through its governing body, the Board of County Commissioners of Dade County, Florida [hereinafter sometimes referred to as "UTILITY" , ] and the City of Miami Beach, a political subdivision of the State of Florida, [hereina ter sometimes referred to as "CITY" , ] is entered into this /5-4r4 day of j) C G • 1992 .

Air° SUBJECT: Interlocal Agreement with the City of Miami Beach. P L.S. J.j •ui- G. Avino, P.E. , , FROM: County Manager RECOMMENDATIONS It is recommended that the Board approve the attached resolution which authorizes the execution of an Interlocal Agreement with the city of Miami Beach for the inclusion of the City in the Metropolitan Dade County Stormwater utility. The City of Miami Beach requested to become a part of the County's Stormwater utility as provided for in Article IV, Chapter 24, Section 24-61 .2 of the Metropolitan Dade County Code. BACKGROUND The Metropolitan Dade County Stormwater Utility was established as a county-wide utility by the Dade County Board of County Commissioners adoption of Ordinance 91-66, creating Article IV of Chapter 24 of the Code of Metropolitan Dade County. The county-wide applicability of this utility sets a uniform approach to stormwater managementin Dade County. The municipalities were given the option to become part of the County program or to create their own dedicated source of stormwater funding in accordance with Section 403, Florida Statutes . The City of Miami Beach has opted to become part of the Stormwater utility program. The proposed Interlocal County' sMetropolitan Dade County Agreement outlines City and Metro p Stormwater Utility stormwater management program responsibilities and stormwater fee collection procedures . This Interlocal Agreement also provides for the coordination of stormwater master planning and capital improvement activities to the mutual benefit of both the City and County. It is therefore recommended that the Board approve the subject Interlocal Agreement to include the City of Miami Beach in the Metropolitan Dade County Stormwater Utility.
