WHEREAS, the waterways in and around the City of Miami Beach are designated
manatee protection speed zones; and
WHEREAS, manatee protection speed zones require that boaters maintain certain
slow speeds while navigating in these zones; and
WHEREAS, the City of Miami Beach Marine Patrol ("Marine Patrol") is having
difficulty in enforcing the speed limit in these zones either because boaters are unaware
of the existing year-round speed zones or existing reminder signs are insufficient; and

speed zone signs at the locations identified in Exhibit "A" attached hereto; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 374.977, Florida Statutes, the Florida Inland
Navigation District and the Department of Environmental Protection are jointly responsible
for the posting, maintaining and selection of location of manatee protection speed zone
signs.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, that the Mayor and City Commission
herein authorize and urge the Administration to request the Florida Inland Navigation
District and the Department of Environmental Protection to post manatee protection speed
zone signs at all locations specified in Exhibit "A" attached hereto.
