Failure of the named violator to appeal the decision of the code compliance officer within the prescribed time period shall constitute a waiver of the violators right to administrative hearing before the special master. A waiver of the right to an administrative hearing shall be treated as an admission of the violation and penalties may be assessed accordingly. {~}(~ Any party aggrieved by the decision of the special master may appeal the decision in accordance with law. (m) Recovery of unpaid fines; unpaid fines to constitute a lien; foreclosure. (1) The city may institute proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction to compel payment of civil fines.

After two months from the filing of any such lien which remains unpaid, the city may foreclose or otherwise execute upon the lien. (n) Nothing in this article shall limit or restrict any condition or limitation imposed by the planning board. ~ Injunctive relief. As an additional means of enforcement, the city may seek injunctive relief and/or follow procedures to revoke a business tax receipt and/or certificate of use as set forth in chapters 14, 18 and 102 of the City Code when there are more than three offenses by the same violator within a calendar year.

COMMISSION ITEM SUMMARY rnnrloncarl Titla• An Ordinance Amending Chapter 46 Of The Miami Beach City Code, Entitled "Environment," By Amending Article III, Entitled "Litter". Ke Intended Outcome 5u orted: Im rove Cleanliness of Miami Beach Ri hts of Wa Es eciall in Business Areas Supporting Data (Surveys, Environmental Scan, etc.): The Cleanliness of the city appears as one of the most important areas affecting Residents' quality of life. The 2007 Community Survey suggests that Cleanliness of the city is ranked #3 by residents as one of the changes that will make Miami Beach a better place to live, work, play, or visit. This same survey suggests that 61 % of the city's residents and 52% of the City's Businesses rate cleanliness of streets in residential/business areas as ood or excellent. Issue: Shall the Mayor and the City Commission Approve The Amendments to the Ordinance? Item Summa SECOND READING PUBLIC HEARING At the City Commission meeting on May 13, 2009, Commissioner Jerry Libbin requested the matter of amending the "Litter" ordinance be referred to the Neighborhoods/Community Affairs Committee for discussion. A draft ordinance amending the provision in Chapter 46 regarding litter prohibitions and definitions, enforcement, and the fines and penalties was developed by the City Attorney's Office and presented to the May 18, 2009 meeting of the Neighborhoods/Community Affairs Committee. The committee discussed the proposed changes and recommended the ordinance to the City Commission, as amended. The committee's amendment added "Park, Baywalk, and Beachwalk" in Sec. 46-92 (a) describing areas of prohibition. The ordinance was considered and amended and approved on first reading at the June 3, 2009 Commission meeting, with the addition of "commercial handbills, bottle caps, chewing gum, tobacco products, including, but not limited to, used and unused cigarettes, cigars, pipe or chewing tobacco" to the definition of Litter. The proposed ordinance amendment is adjusted to reflect the amendments from the Commission at the June 3`~ meeting. The proposed draft ordinance was developed by Commissioner Libbin together with the City Attorney's Office and further amended pursuant to instructions by the City Commission and the Neighborhood/Community Affairs Committee. The amendments to the City's existing litter ordinance expands the definition of litter, clarifies the prohibitions on litter, strengthens the enforcement of littering, and provides additional penalties for littering. Adviso Board Recommendation: Nei hborhoods/Communi Affairs Committee 05/18/2009. Financial Information: Source of Funds: Amount Account 1 2 3 OBPI Total Financial Impact Summary: The proposed amendment could result in many new litter violations being issued, since the litter must only be "placed" on public property to be considered litter, as opposed to being placed and "left" on public property. These revenues may be offset by the ability of the Special Master to impose voluntary community service in lieu of fines for appeals. It is difficult to estimate potential fine revenues, or the number of potential appeals. It is unknown what impact this will have on current Code staffin levels, es eciall If additional/enhanced enforcement is re uired.

BACKGROUND At the City Commission meeting on May 13, 2009, Commissioner Jerry Libbin requested the matter of amending the "Litter" ordinance be referred to the Neighborhoods/Community Affairs Committee for discussion. A draft ordinance amending the provision in Chapter 46 regarding litter prohibitions and definitions, enforcement, and the fines and penalties was developed and presented to the May 18, 2009 meeting of the Neighborhoods/Community Affairs Committee. The committee discussed the proposed changes and recommended the ordinance to the City Commission, as amended. The committee's amendment added "Park, Baywalk, and Beachwalk" in Sec. 46-92 (a) describing areas of prohibition. The ordinance was considered and amended and approved on first reading at the June 3, 2009 Commission meeting, with the addition of "commercial handbills, bottle caps, chewing gum, tobacco products, including, but not limited to, used and unused cigarettes, cigars, pipe or chewing tobacco" to the definition of Litter. The proposed ordinance amendment is adjusted to reflect the amendments from the Commission at the June 3rd meeting. PROPOSED ORDINANCE AMENDMENT Updated definition of Litter The definition of litter has been expanded to also include items such as commercial handbills, bottle caps, chewing gum, tobacco products, including but not limited to, used and unused cigarettes, cigars, pipe or chewing tobacco. Included in the definition, is the means by which an item becomes litter. This was updated to reflect that items, once placed or deposited on public property do not have to be "left" on public property to be considered as litter. Community service option added This ordinance provides the Special Master the option to accept voluntary community service in lieu of a fine. One hour of community service (removing litter in the City), is equal to each $5.00 of an imposed fine. Note that if the community service is not completed within six (6) months of an adjudication of guilt, the fine shall be reinstated. Repeal of Division 2 entitled "Handbills" The amendment repeals Division 2 Entitled "Handbills" and incorporates provisions relative to the Special Master Appeals and additional means of enforcement into Section 46-92. Prior amendments to the litter ordinance to address commercial handbills are not affected by the repeal of this section, and existing or new language will continue to address handbills on motor vehicles. ANALYSIS The intent of the ordinance is to, among other things, further provide for the enforcement of litter on our public areas. As proposed, this amendment would result in the issuance of litter violations when someone "places" something considered litter on public property (as defined in the ordinance), as compared to current ordinance provisions that require the litter to have been placed and "left" on the public property. While in a strict enforcement of the ordinance, if a beachgoer is observed placing a can of soda next to their beach blanket and then going for a swim, they would be subject to a violation, even if the beachgoer's intent was to properly discard the can when leaving the area, the intent of the ordinance change is to ensure that, in those occasions when someone is observed littering and it is clear that there is no intention of picking up whatever was placed on the public property, then the Code Officer would not have to wait until the person completely left the area to issue a violation. One example would be when a smoker flicks his cigarette several feet away after they have completed smoking their cigarette. If the individual's actions clearly demonstrate that their intent is not to pickup the cigarette, then a violation would be issued without having to wait until that person leaves the area where the littering occurred. It is intended that, if approved on second reading, a "public education" period will be conducted, especially focused on beachgoers, to advise them of the new ordinance, encourage compliance and warn them that enforcement of the ordinance will begin after November 1S. Currently, Code Compliance staff is assigned to monitor on ATV's the beaches on Saturdays and Sundays in the late afternoon. Staff provides education and enforcement on litter, and enforces rules on items prohibited on the beach, and illegal vendors; they will distribute biodegradable bags and disposable ashtrays. Code will look at providing some enhanced, targeted enforcement after November 1 Sc to reemphasize the new ordinance. FISCAL IMPACT The proposed amendment could result in many new litter violations being issued, since the litter must only be "placed" on public property to be considered litter, as opposed to being placed and "left" on public property. These revenues may be offset by the ability of the Special Master to impose voluntary community service in lieu of fines for appeals. It is difficult to estimate potential fine revenues, or the number of potential appeals. It is unknown what impact this will have on current Code staffing levels, especially If additional/enhanced enforcement is required. CONCLUSION The proposed draft ordinance was developed by Commissioner Libbin together with the City Attorney's Office to further address litter in the City. The amendments to the City's existing litter ordinance expand the definition of litter, clarify the prohibitions on litter, strengthen the enforcement of littering, and provide additional penalties for littering.
