A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, URGING FLORIDA POWER &
LIGHT COMPANY TO PRIORITIZE AND EXPEDITE THE LIGHTING
ENHANCEMENT PROJECT ON COLLINS COURT IN THE
INTEREST OF PUBLIC SAFETY.
WHEREAS, the implementation of high- intensity lighting has proven to be highly
successful in reducing crime in the City of Miami Beach's Entertainment District on Ocean
Court; and
WHEREAS, due to the success of the lighting project on Ocean Court, the City of Miami
Beach (City) has pursued a similar high - intensity lighting project on Collins Court and, since
2017, has been in negotiation with Florida Power & Light Company (FPL), the owner of the light
poles in that area; and
WHEREAS, City funding has been in place for the Collins Court lighting project for many
months; and
WHEREAS, the implementation of high - intensity lighting is critical to public safety and
further delay could mean that major, high impact events in the City (such as Spring Break,
Memorial Day weekend, and Labor Day weekend) will occur without the benefit of this additional
lighting, which has been a significant aid to the City's crime- fighting efforts in areas where such
lighting has previously been installed; and
WHEREAS, the Mayor and City Commission respectfully urge FPL to prioritize and
expedite the implementation of the lighting enhancement project on Collins Court in the interest
of public safety.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT DULY RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, that the Mayor and City
Commission hereby urge Florida Power & Light Company to prioritize and expedite the lighting
enhancement project on Collins Court in the interest of public safety.
