SECOND READING AND PUBLIC HEARING
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends adopting the ordinance.
BACKGROUND
Section 2-191 of the Miami Beach City Code requires that organizational units be
created by law or ordinance.
The City Commission has demonstrated leadership in addressing the vulnerabilities
related to sea level rise, the effects of climate change and the general stewardship of our
precious environmental resources. Over the last few years, the Environment and
Sustainability Division has worked diligently on these matters as a small unit of the
Building Department. However, as sustainability and resiliency become the centerpiece
of our City, it is critical to elevate this division to department status.
The Environment and Sustainability Department will consist of three divisions:
Environmental Resources, Sustainability, and Urban Forestry. Together these divisions
will work across the City's departments to integrate a holistic resiliency approach to
climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts.
The City has numerous natural resources including canals, waterways, sand dunes,
parks and green spaces, and slightly over seven miles of white, sandy beaches. Our
environment is our natural capital and is the foundation of our strong economic
development and high quality of life. The Environmental Resources Division of the
Environment & Sustainability Department will focus on protecting and enhancing our
natural environment through sea level rise adaptation efforts, natural resource
management and environmental compliance. This Division will support internal
departments to ensure the City is employing a holistic resiliency approach to all projects,

not just those labeled as environmental. This Division will serve as the in-house
environmental consultant and as the liaison between other government agencies for
environmental concerns. This Division will also help to expedite the environmental
permitting processes to keep projects on schedule and will improve efficiencies and
coordination efforts for neighborhood projects.
Creating a more sustainability community includes improving resource efficiencies,
preventing harm to the natural environment, protecting human health, while benefiting
the social, economic and environmental well-being of the community for present and
future generations. The Sustainability Division will be charged with working across all the
City departments to improve internal sustainability to save money, improve processes
and enhance the environment. This Division will also handle internal and external
climate change mitigation efforts with a focus on reducing greenhouse emissions from
government operations and communitywide activities, reducing internal operational costs
and improving operational efficiencies, and assisting with the development of the
Resiliency Strategic Plan. This Division will develop and implement specific initiatives
including recycling and waste reduction, education and outreach, and green
infrastructure.
Urban trees are a vital part of the City infrastructure, providing numerous environmental,
economic and social benefits. Among the identified benefits are cleaner air, reduced
energy usage, less storm water runoff, amelioration of high urban temperatures, higher
property values, improved aesthetics, a greater sense of health and well-being, reduced
anxiety levels, and lower crime rates. On June 15, 2015, the City took over the tree
removal permitting program from Miami Dade County. The Urban Forestry Division will
be responsible for administering the tree permitting program, finalizing the City's
comprehensive tree inventory and establishing a dedicated urban forestry program that
includes reforestation efforts.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends adopting the ordinance.
