LTC# 255-2021 LETTER TO COMMISSION
TO: Mayor Dan Gelber and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Alina T. Hudak, City Manage /
DATE: June 18, 2021
SUBJECT: NEXT GENERATION COUNCIL MOTION
The purpose of this Letter to Commission(LTC) is to inform the Mayor and Commission of
the advisory motion passed by the Next Generation Council at its June 8, 2021 meeting.
Members Present: Cameron McLain, Daniel Quinones, Elisabeth Rabin, Evan Salzberg,
Jamie Maniscalco, Nicolas Cuetara, and Robert Fetell.
MOTIONS
(1) The Next Generation Council recommends for the City of Miami Beach to use full-
depth reclamation for all public asphalt roads being resurfaced. This is a method of
recycling the worn topcoat in the new base, thus making it more resistant to flooding
and reducing waste. Furthermore, the Council recommends that the City Commission
require all new and repaired public and private driveways, sidewalks and surface
parking areas be made with pervious concrete or asphalt pavement. It more
easily allows surface water to drain into the ground. This requirement can also be
extended to local roads that have minimal truck traffic. These policy adjustments can
immediately benefit MB's flood resilience and are highly recommended by experts.

(2) The Next Generation Council supports the City Commission's efforts to reduce violence
and nuisance code issues in Miami Beach.
