WHEREAS, the City of Miami Beach ("City") is comprised of a number of islands with approximately 70 miles of shoreline along numerous canals and waterways, the Atlantic Ocean, and Biscayne Bay Aquatic Preserve, all of which support a wide variety of flora and fauna; and WHEREAS, Article II, Section 7 of the Florida Constitution states that"[i]t shall be the policy of the state to conserve and protect its natural resources and scenic beauty"; and WHEREAS, Florida is known for its beautiful rivers, lakes, streams, wetlands, forests, wildlife habitat, and beaches and shores, and these natural assets are central to our quality of life and economic vitality; and WHEREAS, in 1963, the Florida Legislature created the Land Acquisition and Trust Fund, which was the first in a series of land acquisition programs for conservation and recreation purposes; and WHEREAS, subsequently, the Florida Legislature created several mechanisms to protect state lands, including the Environmentally Endangered Lands program (protecting environmentally unique and irreplaceable lands), the Conservation and Recreation Lands Program, the Save Our Coast program (for the purchase of coastal lands), the Save Our Rivers program (funding the acquisition of more than 1.7 million acres of land), the Florida Communities Trust, and the Florida Forever program (Florida's premier land acquisition program, which has funded the purchase of more than 718,126 acres of land); and WHEREAS, on November 4, 2014, almost 75% of Florida voters voted in favor of a constitutional amendment, known as Amendment 1, which (1) allocates at least thirty- three percent (33%) of net revenue from documentary stamp taxes to the State's Land Acquisition Trust Fund, and (2) dedicates funds in the Land Acquisition Trust Fund exclusively to "finance[ing] or refinanc[ing] . . . the acquisition and improvement of land, water areas, and related property interests, including conservation easements, and resources for conservation lands including wetlands, forests, and fish and wildlife habitat; wildlife management areas; lands that protect water resources and drinking water sources, including lands protecting the water quality and quantity of rivers, lakes, streams, springsheds, and lands providing recharge for groundwater and aquifer systems; lands in the Everglades Agricultural Area and the Everglades Protection Area; beaches and shores; outdoor recreation lands, including recreational trails, parks, and urban open space; rural landscapes; working farms and ranches; historic or geologic sites; together with management, restoration of natural systems, and the enhancement of public access or recreational enjoyment of conservation lands"; and WHEREAS, Amendment 1 mandates the dedication of hundreds of millions of dollars each year to programs funding the acquisition of land for conservation purposes; and WHEREAS, the Mayor and City Commission strongly endorse Amendment 1 and its policy of conservation for the benefit of residents, wildlife, and natural resources throughout Florida; and WHEREAS, Florida's ecosystems must be protected because of their great biodiversity; and WHEREAS, several environmental groups have challenged the State Legislature's allocation of Amendment 1 funding to programs that do not directly fund land acquisition for conservation purposes; and WHEREAS, in June 2015, the Florida Wildlife Federation, joined by other environmental groups, sued the Florida Legislature, alleging that the Legislature had misallocated $237 million for administrative expenses, instead of land conservation, in violation of Amendment 1; and WHEREAS, in November 2015, Florida Defenders of the Environment sued the Department of Environmental Protection, Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Florida Department of State, and the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission, to block these agencies from misspending funds in violation of Amendment 1; and WHEREAS, on May 14, 2015, the South Florida Water Management District's("the District") Governing Board held a discussion regarding its option to purchase 46,800 acres of farmland owned by U.S. Sugar at an estimated cost of $500 to $700 million, which purchase would require additional funding by the State Legislature; and WHEREAS,the purchase of land, such as the U.S. Sugar property,for conservation purposes could have allowed the District to shift the flow of water southward, thereby replenishing the Everglades and contributing to South Florida's drinking water supply, as well as to build reservoirs and water pollution treatment areas to restore water flows between Lake Okeechobee and the Everglades; and WHEREAS, by a unanimous vote, the Governing Board of the District terminated its option to purchase the land; and WHEREAS, this example of land acquisition is what Florida voters intended to fund with the passage of Amendment 1; and WHEREAS, the Mayor and City Commission strongly urge the State Legislature to respect the mandate of the overwhelming majority voters who approved Amendment 1 in 2014, and fund the acquisition of land for conservation purposes. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT DULY RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, that the Mayor and City Commission hereby urge the Florida Legislature to honor the intent of the constitutional amendment adopted by Florida voters in 2014 ("Amendment 1") and appropriate funding for the acquisition of lands for conservation purposes.
