TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager
DATE: July 25, 2018
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, ACCEPTING THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE
FINANCE AND CITYWIDE PROJECTS COMMITTEE AT ITS JULY 13, 2018
MEETING, TO PERMANENTLY IMPLEMENT A CAT VOLUNTEER BADGING
SYSTEM AND EXTENSION OF FEEDING STATION PILOT.
ANALYSIS
Following the recommendation of the Neighborhood /Community Affairs Committee at its May 19,
2017 and July 28, 2017 meetings, to find an alternate, suitable and proper location to conduct cat
surgeries; to consider allowing a pilot program to install environmentally friendly feeding stations; to
provide formal registration and credentialing for registered volunteers, and to install educational
signage by feeding stations, the City Commission made a motion to approve this item via resolution
No. 2017 -29993 at its September 25, 2017 meeting (Attachment 1).
In October of 2017, the City, in partnership with SoBe Cats Spay & Neuter, Inc., began a pilot
program incorporating log -like feeding station placements. The program utilized City- designed signs
and also registered volunteers to track and monitor cat colonies while providing fresh water and food
to draw community cats away from high- traffic areas inside North Beach Oceanside Park between
87th Street and 79th Street and Allison Park between 67th Street and 64th Streets. The cost for the
pilot program over a six month period is $3,000. This includes 22 log planters, sinage, badges and
retrofitting of the feeding stations by City Staff. Expanding the program to an additional 100 feeding
stations would result in an annual budget increase of approximately $10,000. Expanding the program
City -wide would require a progressive implementation as this program relies heavily on volunteers.
In light of positive feedback from staff and community members, this item was referred to the Finance
and Citywide Projects Committee (FCWPC) (Attachment 2) to consider a permanent implementation
of the credentialing for registered cat feeders citywide, additional feeding station areas, as well as an
extension of the current pilot program. At its July 13, 2018 meeting, the FCWPC made a motion to
permanently implement a cat volunteer badging system and the extension of the feeding station pilot
and to bring the item to the full City Commission for approval.

COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
SUBJECT: REFERRAL TO THE FINANCE AND CITYWIDE PROJECTS COMMITTEE TO CONSIDER PERMANENTLY
IMPLEMENTING THE CAT VOLUNTEER BADGING SYSTEM AND AN EXTENSION OF THE FEEDING STATION
PILOT,
ANALYSIS
Please place on the May 16, 2018 agenda, a referral to the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee to consider the permanent
implementation of the cat volunteer feeder badging system and an extension of the feeding station pilot program.
Following the recommendation of the Neighborhood /Community Affairs. Committee On July 28, 2017 to install environmentally
friendly cat feeding stations, educational signage and to provide formal registration and credentialing for registered volunteer cat
feeders, in October of 2017, the City in partnership with SoBe Cats Spay & Neuter, Inc, began a pilot program. The program
incorporated log -like feeding station placement, utilized appropriate City - designed signs and registered volunteers to track and
monitor cat colonies by providing fresh water and food to draw community cats away from high- traffic areas Inside North Beach
Oceanside Park between 87th Street and 79th Street and Allison Park between 67th Street and 64th Street.
In light of positive feedback from staff and community members regarding the registration and the visible badging of the volunteers,
I would like to request the permanent implementation of the credentialing for registered cat feeders citywide.
Additionally, due to a long delay In the marketing of the program (placed on our City websites, bus shelter signs, posters, public
service announcement for trolleys, social media, looal government television and movie theater PSAs) and a slow start to the
placement of the feeders fueled by trial- and -error Installation and vandalism events, In order to have ample time to accurately
evaluate Its success I would also like to request an extension of the feeding station placement component.
As there is a necessary .length of time for the cats to become aocustomed to a new feeding location and taking advantage of the
marketing strategy now In place, it may also prove beneficial to implement the pilot to additional specific areas of Miami Beach
plagued with community cat concerns.
1 would also like to highlight the Interest surrounding communities including the cities of Surfside, North Bay Village, B000 and West
Palm Beach have shown In our initletive with considerations to Implement in their own municipalities.
For additional information, please contact my office at extension 6437,
