recession of flood waters and communicate to the public as soon as safety has
been re-established. This is an especially critical function during the aftermath of
a hurricane when the availability of basic needs and travel are decreased. For
example, flooded roadways can be closed, safety hazards can be avoided, and
4
other flood-related risks can be mitigated. The system will inform City operations
and data can be used to determine where and when temporary flood pumps
should be installed. Actions such as these impact the City's critical functions by
allowing properly deployed pumps to prevent what otherwise could become a
water contamination problem.

Hazard Mitigation Grant Program in the aooroximate amount of$7321 591.
Page 375 of 1802
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency has three
main grant programs applicable to flood nitigation. They include the Hazard Mitigation Grant
Program (HMGP), the Pre-Disaster Mitigation Grant Program(PDM)and the Flood Mitigation Grant
Program(FMA). Each of these programs has different guidelines, requirements and deadlines. The
City has received funding in the past from each of these programs. Previous successfully funded
projects include: the wind retrofit of city buildings, including City Hall, Fire Station, Police Station,
Fleet Management Building and 1701 Meridian Avenue; a Flood Mitigation Plan; and funding to
assist Mount Sinai Hospital and the Talmudic University with their mitigation priorities.
The Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (HMGP) assists in implementing long-term hazard mitigation
measures. The goal of the program is to implement cost-effective hazard mitigation activities that
complement comprehensive mitigation programs, reduce injuries, loss of life, and damage and
destruction of property. The City is included in Miami-Dade County's Local Mitigation Strategy
(LMS), has a FEMA-approved mitigation plan and is eligible to receive project grant funding under
the Hazard Mitigation Grant program.
The application process for submittal of projects to the HMGP is managed by Miami-Dade County,
through its LMS Steering Committee. The Committee met early this year to rank mitigation projects
throughout Miami-Dade County and approve projects for submittal to the State for funding. As a
result of the Presidential Disaster Declaration for Hurricane Irma (FEMA 4337-DR-FL-), Miami-Dade
County will receive an allocation of funding. Over 170 projects were submitted countywide to the
Steering Committee. The City's projects were ranked highly and approval was provided by the
Steering Committee for Miami Beach to submit applications. The following applications were
submitted, under the HMGP guidelines to the State of Florida, Division of Emergency Management
for federal funding through FEMA.
Hardening of City Facilities- 555 17th Street
The City requested funds to install impact windows and replace the roof at the City building at 555
17th Street. The project is needed to adequately protect the structure and its contents, ensure the
safety of the public and staff, and to ensure ongoing City operations after a severe weather event.
The combined mitigation of installing impact windows and replacing the roof will constitute a
substantial increase in protection of the full envelope of the building and will result in a
comprehensive, effective mitigation that fully protects the entire building and the visiting public.
The City Administration is requesting funding in the appropmate amount of $510,214. A match of at
least 25% is required, and matching funds in the amount of $170,071 subject to adoption of the
Proposed FY 2018/19 Capital Budget. This project supports the key intended outcome to build and
maintain priority infrastructure with full accountability.

Funds are requested to install impact windows and a new roof at the Bass Museum building at 2100
Collins Avenue. The project will maintain safety requirements and structural integrity and ensure the
safety of the staff and public, and museum contents. The building is located just one block from the
Atlantic Ocean and is particularly vulnerable to storm surges, flooding, and high winds. Installation of
impact windows to meet or exceed all Building Code requirements will mitigate building and content
damages and loss.
The City Administration is requesting funding in the appro>amate amount of $821,289. A match of at

through the Fiscal Year 2020 capital budget process. This project supports the key intended outcome
to build and maintain priority infrastructure with full accountability.
Flood Sensor System
A comprehensive flood sensor system will enable the City to obtain real-time insights that can give
officials warning signs and inform decision-making. With the installation of a comprehensive system,
the City will be able to monitor the recession of flood waters and communicate to the public as soon
as safety has been re-established. This is an especially critical function during the aftermath of a
hurricane when the availability of basic needs and travel are decreased. For example, flooded
roadways can be closed, safety hazards can be avoided, and other flood-related risks can be
mitigated. The system will inform City operations and data can be used to determine where and when
temporary flood pumps should be installed. Actions such as these impact the City's critical functions
by allowing properly deployed pumps to prevent what otherwise could become a water contamination
problem.
The City Administration is requesting funding in the approximate amount of $775,000. A match of at
