ANALYSIS The Florida House and Senate are accepting Water Project funding applications for consideration on behalf of the Governor Scott, to be considered when developing the FY 2014/15 General Appropriations Act. At the February 12, 2014 Commission meeting, the Mayor and Commission authorized the City Manager to submit Water Projects for funding consideration to the Members. The following two projects were submitted: 1. Force Main: The 54-inch diameter force main carries primary waste from the Flamingo Park neighborhood. The City needs to construct a sanitary sewer force main from the Miami-Dade County Water and Sewer Department force main on Commerce Street to the City pump station on 11 th Street in order to correct a 54-inch diameter force main with several compromised sections. The Flamingo Park neighborhood is a low-moderate income neighborhood,with a density of 50-70%low moderate income persons. A request of$500,000 was submitted for this project. 2. Water Line: This is the replacement of a 20-inch diameter cast iron water line. The lead-packed connections are leaking throughout the entire length of 5,000 feet. This project stretches from Alton Road at 51 St Street to Alton and 63rd Street. Alton Road is a State roadway. A request of$500,000 was submitted for this project. Both projects support the key intended outcome to maintain city's infrastructure. Funding for these projects will enable necessary improvements to be made to the sewer and water system, providing protection to Biscayne Bay Aquatic Preserve, and ultimately, protection to the beaches which are valuable to tourism and to the economic base of Miami Beach and the entire state. CONCLUSION The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission Support the City's Water Project funding requests for the Governor's Fiscal Year 2014/15 Budget.
