Honorable Mayor Alex Penelas:
Attached for your attention is a copy of Resolution 2002-24956 adopted by the City of Miami Beach
Commission at its meeting of September 11, 2002 opposing the proposed reduction of funding for
beach maintenance in the proposed Miami-Dade County FY2002l03 budget.
HAND DELIVERED
As you know the beaches in Miami-Dade County and, in particular, in the City of Miami Beach, are
world-renowned and are a major attraction to residents and tourists alike. The City believes the
beaches to be an extremely important economic asset for South Florida and are one of the most
important economic generators for the entire region and, therefore, should be kept clean and litter free
at all times. We are concerned that the proposed decrease in both the operating and capital funding for
beach maintenance in your proposed FY 2002/03 budget will reduce the current level of service
provided on the beaches and will negatively impact the appearance, cleanliness, and sanitation
services for our beaches especially during weekends and holidays when there is the highest utilization
of the beaches.
I urge the Miami-Dade County Commission not to reduce the operating and capital funding for beach
maintenance and ask all coastal cities in Miami-Dade County to join with the City of Miami Beach in
opposing the reduction of beach maintenance funding.
It i requested that this concern be considered during your budget hearings.
