Key Intended Outcome Supported: Increase satisfaction with family recreational activities Supporting Data (Surveys, Environmental Scan, etc.): Miami Beach Customer Survey indicates 84.9% of residents rated the City's Recreation programs as either excellent or good. Issue: Should the City Commission amend the City Code to extend the dog off leash pilot program in its present location and expand its current hours in South Pointe Park? Item Summa /Recommendation: SECOND READING—PUBLIC HEARING There have been several Commission/Commission Committee discussions concerning dogs off leash in South Pointe Park. On September 9, 2009, the Mayor and City Commission adopted Ordinance No. 2009-3646, authorizing a designated off-leash area in South Pointe Park for a six-month pilot program from sunrise to 9:00 a.m.(Mon— Fri). On February 3, 2011, the Neighborhoods/Community Affairs Committee (NCAC) recommended extending the trial period to include two (2) additional hours in the evening (Mon-Fri). This action was approved and accepted by the City Commission at the March 9, 2011, Commission meeting. On October 19, 2011, The Mayor and City Commission approved an ordinance on second/final reading that extended the pilot off-leash program until January 1, 2012, and added two (2) hours in the evening from 5:00 P.M. To 7:00 P.M., Monday through Friday. In light of the pending expiration of the in South Pointe Park Dogs Off-Leash Pilot Program, at the December 8, 2011, NCAC, a discussion was held on: 1) whether the program should be extended/made permanent; and, if so, 2) what the location of the site should be. There was general agreement to extend the program; however, Commissioner Libbin expressed concern with extending the program if it did not include a hedge of some sort. There was also general agreement, including from community members present, to keep the current location (portion of west lawn). Following discussion and community input, the Committee members recommended to: 1) extend the South Pointe Dog Off-leash Pilot Program for six (6) months in its current location, and add one hour in both the morning and the afternoon; and, 2) prepare a site plan of the South Pointe Off-leash area in its present location, and a cost estimate for the installation of a hedge (appropriate species and height), to enclose the area, including obtaining any required approvals. On December 14, 2011 this ordinance amendment was approved on first reading and the City Commission scheduled the public hearing and final reading for January 11, 2012. Advisory Board Recommendation: NCAC meeting on 12/8/11; recommendation to proceed with ordinance amendment to extend off leash area, and to look at hedge for the recommended location on west lawn. Financial Information: Source of Amount Account Funds: 1 OBPI Total Financial Impact Summary: Enforcement will continue to be handled by on-duty Code Compliance staff. Should the Commission eventually approve the installation of a hedge, and the hedge receive DRB approval, funding will need to be identified to cover the costs of the hedge.

Gonzalez, City Manager DATE: January 11, 2012 SE ND READING PUBLIC HEARING SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 10 OF THE MIAMI BEACH CITY CODE ENTITLED "ANIMALS," BY AMENDING SECTION 10-10, ENTITLED "ANIMALS PROHIBITED IN PUBLIC PARKS AND ON BEACHES" TO CROSS-REFERENCE LANGUAGE IN SECTION 10-11 REGARDING OFF-LEASH AREAS FOR DOGS; BY AMENDING SECTION 10-11, ENTITLED "RUNNING AT LARGE PROHIBITED," BY EXTENDING THE PILOT PROGRAM OFF-LEASH AREA FOR DOGS IN SOUTH POINTE PARK UNTIL JULY 15, 2012, BY PROVIDING OFF-LEASH HOURS IN THE DESIGNATED AREA IN THE MORNING FROM SUNRISE TO 10:00 A.M.

MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY, AND RELOCATING THE OFF-LEASH AREA TO THE SOUTH AND EAST OF THE WASHINGTON AVENUE ENTRY PLAZA; PROVIDING FOR REPEALER, SEVERABILITY, CODIFICATION, AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE. ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION The Administration recommended the City Commission adopt the proposed Ordinance. KEY INTENDED OUTCOME SUPPORTED Increase satisfaction with recreational programs. BACKGROUND For the past several years there have been ongoing discussions as to how the City can find the proper levels of services that address the needs of our residents and guests who own dogs with those who do not. These discussions have focused on the development of "bark parks" (fenced in areas in parks specifically designed and designated for dogs to run off leash): access for the dogs to water from a beach or park edge; the provision of dog bag/ waste stations that are located throughout the city's parks, rights of way, Lincoln Road, the Beach walk and other public areas; and the establishment of off-leash access in the parks to areas which are unfenced/ unsecured where dogs would run off leash and beyond their owner's control. To date there are a total of five (5) fenced dog parks within the City's parks. These include Belle Isle, Flamingo, North Shore Open Space Park (under construction), Pinetree, and Washington Avenue (two sites). Additionally, at the September 14, 2011, Commission meeting the Administration was directed to install a temporary fenced dog park on the Par 3 Golf Course; this has been put on hold at the request of the residents. These dog parks are heavily utilized and our residents tell us that this is a welcomed amenity. The increased number of City dog parks is a direct result of a number of discussions that were held in the community and, more specifically, at past Neighborhoods/Community Affairs Committee (NCAC) meetings. Ordinance Amendment To Chapter 10—Section 10-11 Running At Large Prohibited(second reading public hearing) January 11, 2012 City Commission Meeting Page 2 of 4 At the January 28, 2009, City Commission meeting, the Administration requested that the matter of dogs off leash in City parks and other public properties in general, be referred to the NCAC for discussion. This request was made for the purpose of seeking direction as to the future management, control and levels of enforcement of dogs (both on and off-leash) in our parks and other public properties; to discuss what, if any, additional resources should be dedicated to the service levels provided for owners and their dogs; and for guidance on whether modifications were needed, if any, to our existing City Code related to dogs in public areas. Subsequently, there were on-going discussions concerning various dog-related issues. One of these discussions focused on the development of a dog park within South Pointe Park, an enclosed area similar to the dog parks in Flamingo, Pinetree, or Belle Isle, or one without a fence. The conclusion of the discussion was to build out a larger dog park on Washington Avenue, diagonal from the then- existing dog park on Collins Avenue and 2nd street. It was also recommended that the City look at whatever amendments would be needed to permit a pilot, off-leash area in a designated section of South Pointe Park, with limited hours of use. The designation of an off-leash area was not only prohibited by City Code, but it was also prohibited by County Code. On September 9, 2009, the City Commission approved on second reading, an Ordinance amending Chapter 10 of the Miami Beach Code entitled "Animals" to allow the City Commission to designate specific off-leash areas for dogs in public parks, specifically for South Pointe Park. The September 9th action established morning off-leash hours (park opening (sunrise) to 9:00 A.M.) only in a specific, unenclosed area of South Pointe Park located in the triangular area where the public art would be sited (south and west of the Washington Avenue entry plaza). The item was amended to clarify that an off-leash program at South Pointe Park would be for a trial period of six months, commencing only if/when Miami-Dade County amended Section 5-20 of their Code pertaining to animals. At the time of the City Ordinance approval, County Code prohibited dogs off leash except in authorized park areas. City staff worked with the City Attorney's office, and the County's Animal Services Division and County Attorney's office, to draft amendment language to County Code that would allow municipalities to designate off leash areas, if they wished. With the help and sponsorship of County Commissioner Bruno Barreiro, the legislation was vetted through the appropriate County Commission Committee and heard at two readings. The County Commission adopted the ordinance amendment at their May 4, 2010 Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners meeting. Consequently, on June 1, 2010, the Administration began the program as planned. The City (Code Compliance and Security Alliance LLC) monitored the pilot program for violations for the six months as directed and developed a summary for the period of June — November 2010. The results found a total of 290 incidents ranging from dogs observed off-leash outside of the permitted area, to dogs observed within the approved area outside of approved hours. The greatest observed non- compliance occurred within the approved location in the afternoon hours, outside of the approved times (Sunrise-9:00 A.M. daily). A follow-up discussion was held at the February 3, 2011, NCAC meeting regarding the Off-Leash Trial Program. Following the discussion, the Committee moved to recommend extending the trial period, to include the addition of two (2) hours in the evening (hours to be determined) on Monday through Friday only. The Committee also discussed the temporary location of the off-leash area once construction of the public art began. A location on the western edge of the west lawn was approved, with the understanding that discussion of a permanent location would occur when the extended trial period expired and a determination was made to continue the program. This action was approved 2-0. This action was subsequently reported and accepted by the City Commission at the March 9, 2011, Commission meeting. Following the public discussion held at the February 3, 2011 NCAC meeting, and acceptance of the report by the City Commission at the March 9, 2011 Ordinance Amendment To Chapter 10—Section 10-11 Running At Large Prohibited(second reading public hearing) January 11, 2012 City Commission Meeting Page 3 of 4 meeting, the Administration determined the Monday — Friday evening hours to be 5 P.M. — 7 P.M., and modified the signs in the off-leash area to reflect the same. In reviewing the Off-Leash Ordinance during a discussion regarding a potential off-leash area at the Par 3 golf course during the July 20, 2011, Land Use Committee meeting, it was determined that approval of the extension of the pilot program, and the additional hours, was required through an ordinance amendment. The Mayor and Commission approved the following ordinance amendment at the October 19, 2011 City Commission meeting, following a public hearing: "An Ordinance Amending Chapter 10 Of The Miami Beach City Code Entitled "Animals," By Amending Section 10-11, Entitled "Running At Large Prohibited" By Extending The Pilot Program Off-Leash Area For Dogs In South Pointe Park Until January 1, 2012 And By Adding Two (2) Hours In The Evening From 5:00 P.M. To 7:00 P.M. On Monday Through Friday, And Providing For Repealer, Severability, Codification, And An Effective Date. Language regarding an off-leash area at the Par 3 was removed by the Commission at the first reading. ANALYSIS In light of the pending expiration of the in South Pointe Park Dogs Off-Leash Pilot Program, a discussion item on the program was placed on the December 8, 2011, NCAC Meeting for purposes of obtaining direction on: 1) whether the program should be extended/made permanent; and, if so, 2) what the location of the site should be On the latter, the Administration explained that It was concluded at the time of the Committee discussion earlier this year that we would return to Committee after the installation of the public art, and if the off-leash program was approved to continue, to discuss whether the off-leash area should move back to the original site, or remain at the current location (portion of west lawn). See Attachment A for a map detailing the current location. The Committee was also provided documentation relating to levels of off-leash-related code violations documented by the City's Code Compliance Division and the contracted private security company, Security Alliance, for the periods of June — November 2010 (first trial period) and January — October 2011 (See Attachment B). There were a total of 305 violations noted by the City's Code Compliance Division and Security Alliance, LLC, the city's security team in the park, during the most recent trial period (January to October, 2011). The Committee discussed both issues. In terms of the continuation of the program, there was general agreement to extend the program. However, Commissioner Libbin expressed concern with extending the program if it did not include a hedge of some sort surrounding the "off-leash" area. In terms of location, there was general agreement, including from community members present, to keep the current location (portion of west lawn), rather than move the off-leash area back to where the public art piece has now been installed. Following a discussion and community input, the NCAC members recommendedto: • Extend the South Pointe Dog Off-leash Pilot Program for a six (6) month in its current location (approximately 18,000sf in the west lawn, south and east of the Washington Avenue entry plaza, bordered to the south by the cutwalk, and a pathway on the east and north sides), with an additional one (1) hour of off-leash time in both the morning and the afternoon. This extension requires an amendment to the current city code (via amendment to Ordinance Amendment To Chapter 10—Section 10-11 Running At Large Prohibited(second reading public hearing) January 11, 2012 City Commission Meeting Page 4 of 4 the ordinance). At present, the pilot program was scheduled to expire on January 1, 2012; and • Prepare a site plan of the South Pointe Off-leash area in its present location and secure a cost estimate for the installation of a hedge, of the appropriate species and height, to enclose the "off-leash" area. The installation of a hedge will require: • Presentation of the proposed site plan with the hedge to the Design Review Board. • Identification of funding to implement this hedge, should it be approved by the Design Review Board. The recommendations were approved by all Committee members present at the meeting. This Ordinance Amendment was presented, discussed and adopted by the Mayor and Members of the City Commission on first reading at the December 14, 2011 meeting. It was further requested that the Administration prepare a cost estimate for the installation of the hedge and provide it to Commissioner Libbin prior to proceeding with any actions necessary to install it. CONCLUSION The proposed ordinance amendment to extend the off-leash area in South Pointe Park is presented for second reading and public hearing following the approval of the proposed amendment at the Neighborhoods/Community Affairs Committee (NCAC) at the December 8, 2011 meeting and the full City Commission at first reading on December 14, 2011. Included in the first reading approval was the NCAC's recommendation that the off-leash area continue in its current location (approximately 18,000sf in the west lawn, south and east of the Washington Avenue entry plaza, bordered to the south by the cutwalk, and a pathway on the east and north sides), and that an additional hour be added to both the morning and afternoon designated hours. This amendment is necessary to continue the off-leash program in South Pointe Park, as the current program was scheduled to expire on January 1, 2012. The determination of the placement of a hedge remains pending the obtaining of cost estimates, identification of funding, and proceeding with obtaining the necessary regulatory board approvals.
