RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
The City of Miami Beach applies for various grants and funding allocations from external agencies
and organizations. Information regarding the projects and funding sources is included in the
Analysis section of this Agenda Item.
ANALYSIS
1. Florida Department of Law Enforcement, in the approximate amount of$11,000 for the Drone
Replacement Program
The Florida Legislature amended Section 934.50, Florida Statutes during the 2022 session. By
July 1, 2022 governmental agencies using any drone not produced by an approved manufacturer
must implement a plan to discontinue the use of the such drone by January 1, 2023. This grant
provides funding for the Recipient to replace drones that are not in compliance with Rule 60GG-
2.0075, Florida Administrative Code. The Recipient will be awarded funds in an amount
commensurate with the replacement cost, not to exceed $25,000 per compliant drone, for each
noncompliant drone relinquished to the Department.
The City administration is accepting a grant award in the amount of$11,000 for the noncompliant
drone which must not be at end-of-life and must still be in working condition. In order to receive
reimbursement for this program, drones which were purchased that are not compliant with the
minimum-security standards established in Rule 60GG-2.0075, Florida Administrative Code, must
be relinquished to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. No matching funds are required.
2. Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND), in the approximate amount of $20,000 for the Find
Small-Scale Spoil Island Restoration & Enhancement Program
FIND has elected to develop a Small-Scale Spoil Island Enhancement Program to foster"adoption
& stewardship" of these islands. This program is intended to provide general improvements,
cleanup and maintenance to these islands. FIND intends to seek the most technically sound and
cost-effective proposals that specifically address the enhancement, improvement and
maintenance of spoil islands of the Waterway.
The City administration is applying to a grant in the approximate amount of$20,000 for debris
removal and upkeep of Flagler Monument Island, a historic landmark in Biscayne Bay. The island
faces significant challenges from plastic pollution and other debris, which threaten its natural
beauty and environmental health. Currently, the City of Miami Beach has an agreement with
Miami-Dade County to conduct cleanups once a week. However, this frequency is insufficient to
manage the ongoing pollution effectively, particularly given the island's popularity and the
increasing volume of waste. The purpose of this grant request is to extend the current agreement
to include bi-weekly cleanups and potentially additional services during holidays when visitor
numbers are higher. The City is providing in-kind matching funds in the approximate amount of
$2,000 from account number 011-0650-000111-12-400-581-00-00-00-.
3. Department of Financial Services, Division of State Fire Marshal, in the approximate amount
of$45,000 for the Firefighter Cancer Decontamination Equipment Program
Firefighters are routinely exposed to hazardous chemicals and carcinogens during fires, vehicle
Page 350 of 1377
extrications, and even training exercises. Proper cleaning of firefighting gear is critical to reducing
these exposures, as studies have shown a higher risk of cancer among firefighters due to
contaminants such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), volatile organic compounds
(VOCs), and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS).
The City administration is applying to a grant in the approximate amount of$45,000 for purchase
and install two UniMac industrial washer/extractors and two personal protective equipment(PPE)
electric heated drying cabinets. This equipment is crucial for the proper decontamination of
firefighting gear to reduce the risk of cancer-causing contaminants.The City is providing matching
funds in the approximate amount of $15,000 from account number 011-1220-000343-19-401-
505-00-00-00.
4. Florida Health Department, EMS County, Memorandum of Understanding, in the approximate
amount of$128,000
The Florida Department of Health is authorized by chapter 401, Part II, Florida Statutes to provide
grants to boards of county commissioners for the purpose of improving and expanding prehospital
emergency medical services. County grants are awarded only to boards of county commissioners
but may subsequently be distributed to municipalities and other agencies or organizations
involved in the provision of EMS pre-hospital care.
The City administration is applying to a grant in the approximate amount of$128,000 for projects
submitted by the City of Miami Beach approved by the Miami-Dade County Board of County
Commissioners and the State of Florida Department of Health, Bureau or Emergency Medical
Services (EMS). No matching funds are required.
5. Florida Department of Environmental Protection, in the approximate amount of$9,000,000 for
the Resilient Florida Program for North Beach Seawalls and Living Shorelines
Miami Beach experiences substantial flooding during king tides, non-rainfall conditions,and heavy
rainfall. To mitigate threats from flooding and adapt to sea level rise, the City has implemented a
Seawall Prioritization Plan to replace and elevate public seawalls, while incorporating natural
living shorelines where feasible. In a 2021 Citywide Living Shoreline Viability Assessment
conducted by Cummins Cederberg, 10 seawalls were noted to be the most viable sites to
implement living shoreline infrastructure.
The City administration is applying to a grant in the approximate amount of $9,000,000 for the
North Beach Seawalls and Living Shorelines project which will raise public seawall infrastructure
and implement living shorelines with the purpose of mitigating threats from flooding and sea level
rise while protecting coastal lands from flooding and upland damage. The City is providing
matching funds in the approximate amount of$9,000,000 from account numbers 433-0815-069357-
29-418-000-00-00-00-29020, 433-0815-061357-29-418-564-00-00-00-29020, and 112-0815-069357-00-
410-564-00-00-00-29020.
6. Florida Department of Environmental Protection, Resilient Florida Program in the approximate
amount of$8,500,000 for Cost Overrun for the West Avenue Neighborhood Adaptation Project-
Phase III
Since the last Resilient FL cycle, the City has experienced cost escalations for this and similar
capital projects. A new budget estimate shows the cost of construction for the West Avenue
Neighborhood Adaptation project totaling $37 Million. This number accounts for existing cost
escalations that arose from last year, as well as a future projected cost escalation for the next
fiscal year in the amount of 12%.To close the budget gap,the City is now requesting an additional
$8.5 Million from the Resilient FL program.This project is a critical neighborhood resilience project
that will elevate a low-lying neighborhood and adapt it to future sea level rise projections. City is
committing a new 50% local cash match of$8.5 Million which will come from Stormwater Bonds
and Stormwater Capital Budget funds. Match accounts number 419-0820-069357-26-418-000-
00-00-00-20525, 429-0820-069357-26-418-000-00-00-00-20525, 434-0820-069357-26-418-
