PLAN AND PRESCRIBING THE DUTIES, APPOINTMENT, AND
TERMS OF THE ADVISORY GROUP'S MEMBERS.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
BACKGROUND
The City of Miami Beach leases the property eastward of the erosion control line (ECL)
from the State of Florida. As part of this lease agreement, the City is required to submit a
land management plan every 10 years for the State's approval. The City's land
management plan, also known as the City's Beachfront Management Plan, must outline
the property's uses, management activities, and planned projects. As such, the Plan
details the City's concession operation rules and regulations, special event permit
requirements, dune management strategy, and other key beach management activities.
The City is in the process of preparing the latest update to the Plan. In accordance with
Chapter 259.032(8)(b) of the Florida Statutes, the City must create an advisory group of
community stakeholders to review the draft Plan and provide comments at a minimum of
one public meeting. Specifically, the advisory group shall include, at a minimum,
representatives of:
• The lead land managing agency;
• Co-managing entities;
• Local private property owners;
• The appropriate soil and water conservation district;
• A local conservation organization; and,
• A local elected official.
At the May 6, 2015 Commission meeting, the City Commission established a Beachfront
Management Plan Ad Hoc Advisory Group pursuant to Resolution No. 2015-29009

ad hoc boards and committees are created to carry out specific tasks to be
accomplished within a stated time period, not to exceed one year.
The 10-year update to the Beachfront Management Plan is in progress and has yet to be
approved by the State of Florida. 'Therefore, a successor ad hoc Beachfront
Management Plan Advisory Group is needed to discuss and review any prospective
updates that may be made to the Beachfront Management Plan after June 1, 2016.
The recommended successor ad hoc Beachfront Management Plan Advisory Group
members, that remain consistent with those of the previous advisory group, are as
follows:
• The City's Tourism, Cultural, and Economic Development Department Director,
or his designee, the City's Environment and Sustainability Division head, or her
designee, the City's Ocean Rescue Division Chief, or his designee as the
representatives of the lead managing agency;
• An appointee of the Miami-Dade County's Beach Operations program and an
appointee of the County's Beach Renourishment program as the representatives
of Miami-Dade County, a co-managing agency;
• An appointee of the Florida Department of Environmental Protection's Coastal
Construction Control Line program as the representatives of the State, a co-
managing agency;
• Steve Vicenti, a member of the Sustainability Committee, Dan Kipnis, Chairman
of the Marine Authority and Waterfront Protection Committee, and an appointee
of the Boucher Brothers as the representatives of local private property owners;
• An appointee of the South Dade Soil and Water Conservation District as the
representative of the appropriate soil and water conservation district;
• Greg Guannel, Urban Conservation Director at The Nature Conservancy as the
representative of a local conservation organization; and
• City of Miami Beach Commissioner Michael Grieco as the local elected official
member.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends that an ad hoc Beachfront Management Plan Advisory
Group is created, in accordance with Section 259.032(8)(b) of the Florida Statutes, and
as set forth herein, with members whose terms shall commence on June 1, 2016 and
expire on May 31, 2017.
