Cleanliness Index & Assessment Program Results for FY06/07 Quarters 1 & 2
TO:
DATE:
SUBJECT:
The purpose of this Letter to Commission is to communicate the results of the Cleanliness
Index and Assessment program for FY06/07 Quarters 1 and 2 (October 1, 2006 to
December 31,2006 and January 1,2007 to March 31,2007 respectively).
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, litter/garbage cans/dumpsters, organic matter, and fecal matter. The results of the
assessments are used to monitor the impacts of recently implemented initiatives and target
areas for future improvements.
For FY 2006/07, in conjunction with enhanced sanitation services, the City's increased the
target for the Citywide and area-specific cleanliness indices from 2.0 to 1.5 - the lower the
score on the cleanliness index indicates a cleaner area. Any area receiving a rating of 2.0 or
worse is considered as an area of focus and departments are requested to prepare action
plans in response.
In addition, the City has a secondary goal to ensure that 90 percent of assessments score
2.0 or better.
Summary of the Cleanliness Assessment Results FY 2006/07 QUARTER 1 and 2
Overall, the Citywide Cleanliness Index improved 17% in Quarter 1 from the prior year, and
11 % in Quarter 2. Cleanliness scores in all public areas assessed have improved in
comparison to the same quarters in the previous year, with the exception of FY 2006/07
Quarter 2 parks and beach areas maintained by Miami-Dade County. Commercial -Non-
Entertainment streets achieved their goal of cleanliness core of 1.5, however, almost all
public areas, except alleys and waterways, would have achieved the previous goal of 2.0
from FY2005/06.
Positive and Improved Areas
· Parking Lots: Initially an area with minimal improvement in scores, has improved by
15% in Q1 and 22.0% in Q2 when compared with the same quarter from the previous
year. This improvement is related to the litter control service being transitioned to the
Sanitation department.
· Streets / Sidewalks: Commercial-Non-Entertainment Streets have met their cleanliness
targets since the inception of the cleanliness program, and have continued to improve in
Q2 by 23.4% when compared to the same quarter from the previous year.
· Waterways: Previously an area of focus for litter, in December 2007 the litter control
maintenance of waterways was outsourced, which has lead to an improvement in
cleanliness scores for two consecutive quarters (FY2006/07 Q1 and Q2).
Areas of Focus
· Waterways: Even though waterways did not achieve their target and remains an area of
focus, improvement has been realized since the litter control service has been
outsourced. Public Works monitors the performance of the contractor through the
cleanliness assessment scores.
· Alleys: Continues to score poorer than other areas due to litter/trash and dumpsters.
Some improvement has been realized due to increased code enforcement. More
improvement should be realized once the new dedicated Sanitation crew and equipment
is deployed in Q3. .
· Parks: Scores worsened by 15.3%. The following 9 parks scored worse than 2.0:
Allison Park, Beachfront Park, Belle Isle Park, Hibiscus Island Park, Parkview Park,
Pinetree Park, South Pointe Park, and Washington Park.
a Some of these parks received poor scores due to construction issues. Parks will
work with CIP on coordinating an approach to resolve these issues.
a An analysis is being conducted to compare the scores received on specific times
and days of the week with the service levels provided in these parks.
