The Florida Legislature created s. 374.976, Florida Statutes in recognition of the importance
and benefits of inland navigation channels and waterways, as well as in acknowledgement
of the problems associated with the construction, continued maintenance and use of these
waterways. This law authorizes and empowers each inland navigation district to undertake
programs intended to alleviate the problems associated with its waterways. The program
that provides funding for these projects is called the Waterways Assistance Program. The
Administration intends to submit three applications under this program. For each
application, FIND requires a $1:$1 match. Exhibit A, attached to this agenda item is a copy
of the 2014 Resolution for Assistance under the Florida Inland Navigation District
Waterways Assistance Program that will be submitted along with each application.
The first submittal will be for shoreline restoration of Normandy Shores Park seawall, which
has been rated as "Critical" condition. The design portion of this project has already
commenced and the application to FIND will be for construction funding only. Construction
is estimated to cost approximately $2.36 million, and the request to FIND will be for
approximately $1 million. Matching funds in the amount of $120,000 are available in the
Seawall Repairs project (351-2150-069358) and the balance of funds needed to complete
this project will be requested through the FY 2014/15 capital budget process. This project
supports the key intended outcome to maintain City's infrastructure.
2. Approval to submit an application to Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND) in the
approximate amount of $1.000.000 for the construction of the Indian Creek Park

"Serious" condition. In October 2013, the City was awarded funding in the amount of
$160,000 from Florida Inland District (FIND) for the design of Indian Creek Park seawall.
Design for this project is underway and construction is anticipated to commence during the
Fiscal Year 2014/2015. Construction of this project is estimated at $2.391 million.
The City intends to apply for funding in the approximate amount of $1 million. Matching
funds in the amount of $1 million, and the balance of funding to complete this project will be
requested the FY 2014/15 capital budget process. This project supports the key intended
outcome to maintain City's infrastructure.
3. Approval to submit an application to Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND) in the
approximate amount of $500.000 for Muss Park Seawall Renovation and Kayak
Launch
In addition, to the above two FIND applications, the City intends to submit an application to
Florida Inland Navigation District for the construction of a kayak launch at the west end of
Muss Park along the Biscayne Waterway, and replacement of the seawall in Muss Park.
The Kayak launch will be ADA compliant, to allow safe and easy access in and out of the
water.
Cost of this project is estimated at $1 million, and the City intends to apply to FIND for
funding in the amount of $500,000. Matching funds in the amount of $500,000 for this
project are available in the Seawall Muss Park Rehab. Project {302-2761-069357 and Muss

Agency (FEMA) Hazard Mitigation Grant Program. in the approximate amount of

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 has a FEMA-approved
mitigation plan and is eligible to receive project grant funding under the Hazard Mitigation
Grant program.
The Administration proposes submitting a request for emergency generators. Generators
are needed for city facilities, and for the City's storm water systems. The City currently has
15 active pumps, and another five additional pumps will be completed shortly. Additionally,
six large pump stations for the Alton Road project will be online within a year and the City'
plans to put on 38 additional pumps stations in the next five years. Generators are required
citywide in the event of an emergency/power loss. A 25% match is required of this grant;
matching funds in the amount of $250,000 will be requested through the FY 2014/15 budget
process. This project supports the key intended outcome to increase community satisfaction
with city government.

League Foundation Grassroots Program and Local Initiatives Support Corporation
(LISC) for funding in the approximate amount of $200,000 for the renovation of
Flamingo Park Practice Field
The NFL Foundation Grassroots Program is a partnership of the National Football League
Foundation, which provides funding for the Program, and the Local Initiatives Support
Corporation (LISC), which provides technical assistance and manages the program. The
goal of the program is to provide non-profit, neighborhood-based organizations with financial
and technical assistance to improve the quality, safety, and accessibility of local football
fields by providing grants of up to $200,000 for capital improvement projects. The City's
application is sponsored by Miami Beach Community Development Corporation, and as
required, the field is located in a Target Market (Miami-Dade County for the Miami Dolphins)
and in a low to moderate-income area (Flamingo Park neighborhood).
The City was previously awarded funding for the renovation of Flamingo Park Football Field
by the NFL Foundation Grassroots Program. This year, the Administration intends to apply

estimated cost of renovation of the Practice Field is $725,000 and in order to meet the grant
deadline, the City has submitted an application requesting $200,000, for the renovation.
Matching funds in the amount of $200,000, and the balance of funding needed to complete
