RECOMMENDATION
The City Administration ("Administration") recommends that the Mayor and City Commission
("City Commission") adopt the Resolution adopting the updated Title VI Nondiscrimination Policy
and Plan (the "2026 Title VI Nondiscrimination Policy and Plan") (Attachment A).
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 ("Title VI") stipulates that no person shall, on the grounds
of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be
subjected to discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.
In order to receive federal funds for projects, including transit projects, the local agencies and
their contractors and consultants must comply with Title VI, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act
of 1973 ("Section 504"), the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 ("ADA"). as well as other
related federal and state laws and regulations, including Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and
Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) regulations, and the Florida Department of
Transportation (FOOT) guidelines. Furthermore, to maintain certification in the federal Local
Agency Program (LAP) and be eligible for federal LAP funding through FOOT, the City, as a sub -
recipient, must have a Title VI Nondiscrimination Policy and Plan that covers all City programs,
services and activities.
On June 11, 2014, the City Commission, via Resolution No. 2014-28641 (Attachment B), adopted
a Title VI Program Plan (the "2014 Title VI Program Plan") specific to the City's trolley service.
On January 17, 2017, the City Commission, via Resolution No. 2017-29718 (Attachment C),

citywide services: and further authorized the City Manager or designee to make such further
modifications to the Title VI Nondiscrimination Policy and Plan as may be required by the

the updated 2021 Title VI Nondiscrimination Policy and Plan (the "2022 Title VI Nondiscrimination
Policy and Plan").
ANALYSIS

Department of Transportation Title VI regulations by submitting a Title VI Nondiscrimination Policy

Policy and Plan adopted by their governing board that covers all programs, services and activities

and will also serve to proactively discourage discrimination on the basis of race, color, national
origin, sex, age, disability, religion, income or family status by adequately educating and involving
the community in the planning process as well as the implementation of citywide projects.

THE CITY'S NONDISCRIMINATION POLICY STATEMENT
The City of Miami Beach, Florida (the City) values diversity and welcomes input from all
interested parties, regardless of cultural identity, background or income level. Moreover, the City
believes that the best programs and services result from careful consideration of the needs of all
of its communities and when those communities are involved in the transportation decision -
making process. Thus, the City does not tolerate discrimination in any of its programs, services
or activities. Pursuant to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities
Act of 1990 (ADA), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504), as well as other
related federal and state laws and regulations, including Federal Transit Administration (FTA)
and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) regulations, and the Florida Department of
Transportation (FDOT) guidelines, the City will not exclude from participation in, deny the
benefits of, or subject to discrimination anyone on the grounds of race, color, national origin,
sex, age, disability, religion, income, or familial status.

Ill. ADAI504 STATEMENT
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504), the Americans with Disabilities Act
of 1990 (ADA), and related federal and state laws and regulations forbid discrimination against
those who have disabilities. Furthermore, these laws require federal aid recipients and other
government entities to take affirmative steps to reasonably accommodate the disabled and
ensure that their needs are equitably represented in transportation programs, services, and
activities. The City of Miami Beach will make every effort to ensure that its facilities, programs,
services, and activities are accessible to those with disabilities. The City will make every effort to
ensure that its advisory committees, public involvement activities, and all other programs,
services, and activities include representation by the disabled community and disability service
groups. The City encourages the public to report any facility, program, service, or activity that
appears inaccessible to those who are disabled. Furthermore, the City will provide reasonable
accommodation to disabled individuals who wish to participate in public involvement events or
who require special assistance to access facilities, programs, services, or activities. Because
providing reasonable accommodation may require outside assistance or resources, the City
asks that requests be made at least 30 calendar days prior to the need for accommodation.
Questions, concerns, comments, or requests for accommodation should be made to the City's

IV. LANGUAGE ASSISTANCE PLAN AND LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY (LEP)
ANALYSIS
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Executive Order 13166, and various directives from the
US Department of Justice (DOJ) and US Department of Transportation (DOT) require federal
aid recipients to take reasonable steps to ensure meaningful access to programs, services, and
activities by those who do not speak English proficiently. To determine the extent to which LEP
services are required and in which languages, the law requires the analysis of four factors:
The number or proportion of LEP persons eligible to be served or likely to be
encountered by the City's programs, services or activities.
The frequency with which LEP individuals come in contact with these programs,
services or activities.
The nature and importance of the program, service, or activity to people's lives;
and
The resources available to the City and the likely costs of the LEP services
1. The principal languages among the City's residents are English and Spanish. According
to the 2018 American Community Survey, Table ID: S1601, 33% of City residents
reported speaking only English, while 51.1% reported speaking Spanish with 53.5% of
Spanish speaking residents reporting that they speak English less than very well. Of the
remaining City residents, 12.9% reported speaking other Indo-European languages
(other than Spanish), 1.1% reported speaking Asian or Pacific Island languages, and
1.9% reported "other language."
The City's website is published in English and it may be translated into Spanish or any
other language as part of the Google Translate tool by clicking the Google Select
Language icon on the bottom left corner of each page.
2. LEP customers within the City, under the analysis identified as Spanish speakers, make
constant use of the City's services. In an effort to promote the use of the service by LEP
customers. the City will make the following information readily available in both English
and Spanish:
• City's Website
• Public Meeting Notices
• Project Information
3. The City believes that its programs, services and activities are of critical importance to its public
Transportation, for example, provides necessary access to health care, emergency services,
employment and other essentials which would be difficult or impossible without reliable
transportation systems.
4. The City of Miami Beach is committed to providing resources to improve access to its
services for LEP persons. Bilingual information (English/Spanish) is/will be distributed in
several different manners including:
4 1 Page
560 of 1677
a. Bilingual English/Spanish Website
b. Bilingual English/Spanish Material
C. Bilingual English/Spanish at Meetings
d. Bilingual English/Spanish Customer Service Staff
The City understands that its community profile is changing and the four factor analysis may
reveal the need for more or varied LEP services in the future. As such, the City will annually
examine its LEP plan to ensure that it remains reflective of the community's needs. Persons
requiring special language services should contact the City's Title VI/Nondiscrimination
Coordinator.
PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT
In order to plan for efficient, effective, safe, equitable, and reliable programs, services, or
activities, the City must have the input of its public. The City spends extensive staff and financial
resources in furtherance of this goal and strongly encourages the participation of the entire
community. The City holds a number of meetings, workshops, and other events designed to
gather public input on project planning and construction. Furthermore, the City attends and
participates in other community events to promote its services to the public. Finally, the City is
constantly seeking ways of measuring the effectiveness of its public involvement including
biannual survey to businesses and residents.
VI. ASSURANCE
Every three years, or commensurate with a change in the City's executive leadership, the City
must certify to FHWA and FDOT that its programs, services, and activities are being conducted
in a nondiscriminatory manner. These certifications are termed 'assurances' and serve two
important purposes: first, they document the City's commitment to nondiscrimination and
equitable service to its community; and second, they serve as a legally enforceable agreement
by which the City may be held liable for breach. The public may view the annual assurance on
the City's websile or by visiting City Hall.
VII. DATA COLLECTION
FHWA regulations require federal -aid recipients to collect racial, ethnic and other similar
demographic data on beneficiaries of or those affected by transportation programs, services
and activities. The Agency accomplishes this through the use of census data, American
Community Survey reports, Environmental Screening Tools (EST), driver and ridership surveys,
its community development department and other methods. From time to time, the Agency may
find it necessary to request voluntary identification of certain racial, ethnic or other data from
those who participate in Agency programs, services or activities. This information assists the
Agency with improving service equity and ensuring effective outreach. Self -identification of
personal data to the Agency will always be voluntary and anonymous. Moreover, the Agency
will not release or otherwise use this data in any manner inconsistent with the FHWA
regulations.

COMMISSION ITEM SUMMARY
Condensed Title:
A Resolution Of The Mayor And City Commission O(The City Of Miami Beach, Florida, Adopting In Substantial Form A Title
VI Program Plan For The Provision Of Citywide Transit Services, Authorizing The City Administration To Finalize The
Program Plan; Provided, However, That Should Any Material Provisions Change, Requiring That The Program Plan Come
Back To The City Commission.
Key Intended Outcome Supported: Commission a Comprehensive Mobility Plan Which Gives Priority
N/A
allow the City to satisfactorily comply with federal requirements as determined by Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964,
which stipulates that no person shall, on the grounds of race, color, or national origin, be excluded from participation in, be
denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination underany program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.
Below is a brief description of the major components of the Title VI Program Plan.
• City Policy: through this Program Plan, the City commits to a policy of non-discrimination in the conduct of its
transit services where no person will be excluded from participation in or denied benefits of its service on the
basis of race, color or national origin in accordance with the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In addition, the proposed
Program identifies a Tithe VI Coordinator for the City to assist individuals with questions regarding the City's
policy and complaint procedure.
• Public Notice: through this Program Plan, the City commits to provide a Title VI notice within the City's
premises on an area open to the general public as well as on its website.
• Complaint Procedure and Form: through this Program Plan, the City commits to provide a Title VI complaint
form as well as written procedures to file the form, and make them available to the general public by posting
them on its website and by person at the Transportation Department's office.
• List of Investigations: Procedure for the logging of investigations, complaints, and lawsuits is included in the
proposed Program Plan.
• Notice to Contractor: the contractor operating the transit system is required to acknowledge receipt of the
Program Plan and to ensure that no passenger is discriminated against.
• Limited English Proficiency (LEP) Analysis: In order to provide meaningful access to its transit programs and
activities, the City performed an LEP analysis. This analysis determined that there is a significant percentage of
Spanish-speaking population in the City. Currently most of the drivers and personnel providing the City's transit
service speak both English and Spanish and are therefore able to communicate with passengers as needed,
although all passengers am provided service regardless of the language. In addition, the information on the City's
website can be easily translated to Spanish by clicking on the translator and all complaint fortes are available on-line
in both English and Spanish. Additional information can be provided in Spanish upon request, and a telephone
number and point of contact for the City is provided in the Program Plan.
• Public Participation Plan: through this Program, a public participation plan that is tailored to the City's
demographic characteristics is provided to effectively engage the general public, consequently avoiding the
exclusion of persons from the planning and implementation process of the transit services provided.
• Service Standards: this Program Plan includes information about route headways, hours of operation, and
performance standards.
• Service Policies: this Program Plan includes a description ofamenities provided as part ofthe City's transit service,
including, but not limited to, air conditioning, bicycle racks, ADA lifts and bus benches at many stops.
A Title VI Program Plan for transit services would be advantageous to the City as it will help to not only manage complaints
efficiently by having set procedures, information, and points of contact, but also to proactively discourage discrimination on
the basis of race, color, or national origin by adequately educating and involving the community in the planning process and
implementation of its transit system. In addition, having this Program Plan in place provides a mechanism to comply with
federal requirements should the City wish to apply for federal grants to fund its transit services in the future.

personnel, fuel, licenses and insurances necessary to operate and maintain the service.
At the May 21, 2014 City Commission meetng, the Commission approved an Interlocal Agreement
with Miami -Dade County for provision of municipal circulator services in the City. Some of the
provisions in this agreement include satisfactory compliance with federal requirements as
determined by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), including the Title VI of the Civil Rights Act
of 1964. Title VI stipulates that noperson shall, on the grounds of race, color, or national origin, be
excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any
program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.
FTA requires that all direct and primary recipients document their compliance with U.S. Department
of Transportation Title VI regulations by submitting a Title VI Program Plan to their FTA regional civil
rights officer once every three years or as otherwise directed by FTA. For all recipients (including
sub recipients), the Title VI Program Plan must be approved by the recipient's Board of Directors or
appropriate goveming entity or officials responsible for policy decisions prior to submission to FTA.
The City is currently having discussions with Miami -Dade County and FTA regarding whetheror not
federal transit requirements are applicable to the City of Miami Beach as a result of the City's
purchase of two (2) mini -buses in 2010 through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act
(ARRA) of 2009. The two buses are currently operated by Miami -Dade Transit (MDT) as part of its
bus service within Miami Beach. Although FTA has not made a determination on the federalization
issue at this time, in an abundance of caution and in an effort to expedite the implementation of the
North Beach Trolley service, the Administration has prepared a citywide Title VI Program Plan for
the City's transit services.
568 of 1677
Commission Memorandum — Title VI Program Plan
June 11". 2014
Page 2 of 3
ANALYSIS
Below is a brief description of the major components of the Tide VI Program Plan developed by the
Administration.
• City Policy: through this Program Plan, the City commits to a policy of non-discrimination
in the conduct of its transit services where no person will be excluded from participation
in or denied benefits of its service on the basis of race, color or national origin in
accordance with the Civil Rights Act of 1964. In addition, the proposed Program identifies
a Title VI Coordinator for the City to assist individuals with questions regarding the City's
policy and complaint procedure.
• Public Notice: through this Program Plan, the City commits to provide a Title VI notice
within the City's premises on an area open to the general public as well as on its website.
• Complaint Procedure and Form: through this Program Plan, the City commits to
provide a Title VI complaint torn as well as written procedures to file the form, and make
them available to the general public by posting them on its website and by person at the
Transportation Department's office.
• List of Investigations: Procedure for the logging of investigations, complaints, and
lawsuits is included in the proposed Program Plan.
• Notice to Contractor: the contractor operating the transit system is required to
acknowledge receipt of the Program Plan and to ensure that no passenger is
discriminated against.
• Limited English Proficiency (LEP) Analysis: In order to provide meaningful access to its
transit programs and activities, the City performed an LEP analysis. This analysis
determined that there is a significant percentage of Spanish-speaking population in the City.
Currently most of the drivers and personnel providing the City's transit service speak both
English and Spanish and are therefore able to communicate with passengers as needed,
although all passengers are provided service regardless of the language. In addition, the
information on the City's website can be easily translated to Spanish by clicking on the
translator and all complaint forms are available on-line in both English and Spanish.
Additional information can be provided in Spanish upon request, and a telephone number
and point of contact for the City is provided in the Program Plan.
• Public Participation Plan: through this Program, a public participation plan that is tailored
to the City's demographic characteristics is provided to effectively engage the general public,
consequently avoiding the exclusion of persons from the planning and implementation
process of the transit services provided.
• Service Standards: this Program Plan includes information about route headways,
hours of operation, and performance standards.
• Service Policies: this Program Plan includes a description of amenities provided as part of
the City's transit service, including, but not limited to, air conditioning, bicycle racks, ADA lifts
and bus benches at many stops.
In an abundance of caution, the Administration has engaged the services of AECOM, a
transportation planning and engineering firm under the City's rotational contracts, to review this
Program Plan and ensure that it complies with all federal requirements. Once the Program Plan is
adopted by the City Commission, it will be submitted to Miami -Dade Countyforfinal approval by the
Board of County Commission.
RECOMMENDATION
A Title VI Program Plan for transit services would be advantageous to the City as it will help to not
only manage complaints efficiently by having set procedures, information, and points of contact, but
also to proactively discourage discrimination on the basis of race, color, or national origin by
adequately educating and involving the community in the planning process and implementation of its
transit system. In addition, having this Program Plan in place provides a mechanism to comply with
569 of 1677
Commission Memorandum - Title VI Program Plan
June 111°, 2014
Page 3 of 3
federal requirements should the City wish to apply for federal grants to fund its transit services in the
future.
The Administration recommends approving a resolution adopting in substantial form a Tide VI
Program Plan for the provision of citywide transit services, authorizing the City Administration to
finalize the Program Plan; provided, however, that should any material provisions change, requiring
that the Program Plan come back to the City Commission.

I. TRANSIT SERVICE OVERVIEW
The City of Miami Beach has established a municipal circulator transit service in an effort to
improve mobility throughout the City. This service is intended to promote transit use, walking
and cycling, while reducing dependency on the current primary mode of transportation
nationwide, "the vehicle". The City makes use of popular vehicles better known as "Trolleys" to
provide a service oriented experience that is reliable and different from the conventional
transit bus. These vehicles are branded and stocked with amenities that make them a
convenient option, include a mobile application to track the vehicles on real time, and an
automated voice information system for those users of conventional phones with no access to
the mobile app.
By providing a reliable transportation alternative, the City is promoting traffic decongestion,
more accessibility to parking and encouraging pedestrian activity throughout the community.
II. THE CITY'S POLICY
The City of Miami Beach is committed to a policy of non-discrimination in the conduct of its
transit services. It is the Cites policy that no person be excluded from participation in, or denied
benefits of the City's trolley service on the basis of race, color or national origin in accordance
with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 ("Title VI" ).
The City of Miami Beach can provide information to individuals who have questions about the
City's policy or who wish to file a complaint under the City's Title VI Complaint Procedure.

1. An "entry in Me margin of error column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to
compute a standard error and Mus Me margin of error. A statistical last is not appre tile,
2. An entry in the estimate column indicates that either no sample observations or too few sample observations were available to compute an
estimate, or a ratio of medians cannot be calculated because one or both of Me median estimates falls in Me lowest Interval or upper interval of an
open-ended distribution
3. An'2 following a median estimate means Me madden falls in Me lowest interval of an open-ended distribution.
d. An'� lallowing a median estimate means Me median falls in the upper interval of an open-eMed distribution.
5. An "" entry in the margin of error column indicates Mat the median falls in the lowest interval or upper interval of an open-ended dlsubution A
statistical test is not appropriate.
6. An' ""' entry in the margin of error column Indicates Mat Me estimate is controlled. A statistiOl test for sampling variability is not appropriate.
1. An'N' entry in the estimate and margin of error columns indicates Mat data for this geographic area cannot M displayed because the number of

Data are based on a sample and are subject to sampling reliability. The degree of Womminty for an estimate ansirg from sampling variability is
represented through me use of a margin of am, The value slawn here is the 90 percent margin of error. The margin of error can be interpreted
roughly as providing a 90 peront probability mat the interval defined by the estimate minus the margin of ens, and Me es8mate plus the margin of
error (the lower and upper confidence bourics) oaaame the true value. In addition to sampling variability, the ACE estimates are subject W
nonsampling odor (for a discussion of nonsampling variability, see Accuracy of the Data). The effect of nonsampling snot is not represented in these
tables.

Data are based on a sample and are subject k sampling variability. The degree of uncertainty for an estimate ansirg from sampling variability is
represented through the use of a margin of error. The value shown here is the 90 percent margin of error. The margin of error can be interpreted
roughly as providing a 90 percent probability That the interval defined by Me estimate minus the margin of error and the estimate plus the margin of
error (the lower and upper confidence hourals) writers the true value. In addition to sampling variablldy, the ACS eaGmates are subject to
wnsampling error (for a discussion of nomempling vadabilily, am Accuracy of the Data). The eject of nonsampling error is not represented in these
tables
Family data are not available for certain geographic areas due 0 problems with data collecion. See Errata Note N92 for details.
The Census Bureau Introduced a new set of disability questions in the 2W8 ACS questionnaire. Accordinglycomparisons of disability data from 2008
or later with data from prior years are rot recommended. For more information on these questions and their evaluation in the 2006 ACS Content Test,
see the Evaluation Report Covering Disability.
While the 2008.2012 American Community Survey (ACS) data generally reject the December 2009 0111 of Management and Budget (01,19)
definitions of metropolitan and meropolitan statistical areas, in certain instances the names, codes, and boundaries of he Winapal ages shown in
ACS tables may differ from Me OMB definitions due to dijerences in Me effective dates of the geographic entities.
Estimates of urban and rural population, housing units, and charactenslia reflect boundaries of urban areas defined based on Census 2000 data.
Boundaries for urban areas have not been updated since Census 2000. As a result, data for urban and mrel areas from the ACS do not necessanly
reject Me results of ongoing wben¢atlon.

RESOLUTION, THE TITLE VIINONDISCRIMINATION POLICY AND PLAN,
SUPPLEMENTING THE EXISTING TITLE VI PROGRAM PLAN, BY EXPANDING ITS
APPLICATION TO ALL CITYWIDE SERVICES (INSTEAD OF JUST TRANSPORTATION);
AND FURTHER AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER OR HIS DESIGNEE TO MAKE SUCH
FURTHER MODIFICATIONS TO THE TITLE VI/NON DISCRIMINATION POLICY AND PLAN
AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY THE APPLICABLE FEDERAL AND STATE GOVERNMENTAL
AGENCIES WHICH OVERSEE THE FEDERAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS IN WHICH THE
CITY PARTICIPATES.
WHEREAS, at the May 21, 2014 City Commission meeting, the Commission approved
an Interlocal Agreement with Miami -Dade County for provision of Municipal Circulator Services;
and
WHEREAS, the Interlocal Agreement require that the City comply with federal
requirements for transit services, including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VI), and
WHEREAS, Title VI stipulates that no person shall, on the grounds of race, color, or
national origin, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to
discrimination under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance, and
WHEREAS, on June 11, 2014, the City Commission adopted a Title VI Program Plan
(the 2014 Title VI Program Plan); and
WHEREAS, in order to receive Federal funds for projects, including transit projects, the
local agencies and their contractors and consultants must comply with the Title VI, Section 504
of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504), the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990
(ADA), as well as other related federal and state laws and regulations, including Federal Transit
Administration (FTA) and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) regulations, and the Florida
Department of Transportation (FDOT) guidelines; and
WHEREAS, to maintain Certification in the Local Agency Program (LAP), local agencies
must submit the Sub -recipient Compliance Assessment Tool (SCAT) once every three (3) years

written, the City's current version was not broad enough to meet the FHWA/FDOT
requirements; and
606 of 1677

adequately educating and involving the community in the planning process and implementation
of its services; and
WHEREAS, in order to be compliant with FHWA/FDOT requirements, the Administration
recommends that the City Commission adopt, substantially in the form attached to this
Resolution as Exhibit 1, the Title VI/Nondiscrimination Policy and Plan; and
WHEREAS, the Administration further recommends that the City Commission authorize
the City Manager or his designee to make such further modifications as may be required by the
federal and state govemmental agencies which oversee the federal assistance programs in
which the City participates.

OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, that the Mayor and City Commission hereby
adopt, substantially in the form attached to this Resolution, the Title VI/Nondiscrimination Policy
and Plan, supplementing the existing Title VI Program Plan, by expanding its application to all

designee to make such further modifications to the Title VI/Nondiscrimination Policy and Plan as
may be required by the applicable federal and state governmental agencies which oversee the
federal assistance programs in which the City participates.

THE CITY'S NONDISCRIMINATION POLICY STATEMENT
The City of Miami Beach, Florida (the City) values diversity and welcomes input from all
interested parties, regardless of cultural identity, background or income level. Moreover, the City

of its communities and when those communities are involved in the transportation decision
making process. Thus, the City does not tolerate discrimination in any of its programs, services
or activities. pursuant to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities
Act of 1990 (ADA), Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504), as well as other
related federal and state laws and regulations, including Federal Transit Administration (FTA)
and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) regulations, and the Florida Department of
Transportation (FOOT) guidelines, the City will not exclude from participation in, deny the
benefits of, or subject to discrimination anyone on the grounds of race, color, national origin,

Ill. ADAI504 STATEMENT
Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (Section 504), the Americans with Disabilities Act
of 1990 (ADA) and related federal and state laws and regulations forbid discrimination against
those who have disabilities. Furthermore, these laws require federal aid recipients and other
government entities to take affirmative steps to reasonably accommodate the disabled and
ensure that their needs are equitably represented in transportation programs, services and
activities. The City of Miami Beach will make every effort to ensure that its facilities, programs,
services, and activities are accessible to those with disabilities. The City will make every effort to
ensure that its advisory committees, public involvement activities and all other programs,
services and activities include representation by the disabled community and disability service
groups. The City encourages the public to report any facility, program, service or activity that
appears inaccessible to those who are disabled. Furthermore, the City will provide reasonable
accommodation to disabled individuals who wish to participate in public involvement events or
who require special assistance to access facilities, programs, services or activities. Because
providing reasonable accommodation may require outside assistance, organization or
resources, the City asks that requests be made at least 30 calendar days prior to the need for
accommodation. Questions, concerns, comments or requests for accommodation should be
made to the City's ADA Coordinator:

IV. LANGUAGE ASSISTANCE PLAN AND LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY (LEP)
ANALYSIS
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Executive Order 13166, and various directives from the
US Department of Justice (DOJ) and US Department of Transportation (DOT) require federal
aid recipients to take reasonable steps to ensure meaningful access to programs, services and
activities by those who do not speak English proficiently. To determine the extent to which LEP
services are required and in which languages, the law requires the analysis of four factors:
• The number or proportion of LEP persons eligible to be served or likely to be
encountered by the City's programs, services or activities.
• The frequency with which LEP individuals come in contact with these programs,
services or activities.
• The nature and importance of the program, service or activity to people's lives
and;
• The resources available to the City and the likely costs of the LEP services.
1. The principal languages among the City's residents are English and Spanish. According
to the 2010-2014 American Community Survey, 32.3% of City residents reported
speaking only English, while 54.6% reported speaking Spanish. The majority of the
City's Spanish speaking residents are bilingual with 28.9% of Spanish speaking
residents reported speaking English less than very well. Of the remaining City residents,
9.9% reported speaking other Indo-European language (other than Spanish), 1.7%
reported speaking Asian or Pacific Island language and 1.5% reported "other language".
The City's website is published in English and it may be translated into Spanish or any
other language as part of the Google Translate tool by clicking the Google Select
Language icon on the bottom left comer of each page.
2. LEP customers within the City, under the analysis identified as Spanish speakers make
constant use of the City's services. In an effort to promote the use of the service by LEP
customers, the City will make the following information readily available in both English
and Spanish:
• City's Website
• Public Meeting Notices
• Project Information
3. The City believes that its programs, services and activities are of critical importance to its
public. Transportation, for example, provides necessary access to health care,
emergency services, employment, and other essentials which would be difficult or
impossible without reliable transportation systems.
4. The City of Miami Beach is committed to providing resources to improve access to its
services for LEP persons. Bilingual information (English/Spanish) is/will be distributed in
several different manners including:
Bilingual English/Spanish Website
Bilingual English/Spanish Material
4(Page
612 of 1677
Bilingual English/Spanish at Meetings
Bilingual English/Spanish Customer Service Staff
The City understands that its community profile is changing and the four factor analysis may
reveal the need for more or varied LEP services in the future. As such, it will annually examine
its LEP plan to ensure that it remains reflective of the community's needs. Persons requiring
special language services should contact the City's Title VI/Nondiscrimination Coordinator.
V. PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT
In order to plan for efficient, effective, safe, equitable and reliable programs, services or
activities, the City must have the input of its public. The City spends extensive staff and financial
resources in furtherance of this goal and strongly encourages the participation of the entire
community. The City holds a number of meetings, workshops and other events designed to
gather public input on project planning and construction. Furthermore, the City attends and
participates in other community events to promote its services to the public. Finally, the City is
constantly seeking ways of measuring the effectiveness of its public involvement including
biannual survey to businesses and residents.
VI. ASSURANCE
Every three years, or commensurate with a change in the City's executive leadership year, the
City must certify to FHWA and FOOT that its programs, services and activities are being
conducted in a nondiscriminatory manner. These certifications are termed 'assurances' and
serve two important purposes: first, they document the City's commitment to nondiscrimination
and equitable service to its community; and second, they serve as a legally enforceable
agreement by which the City may be held liable for breach. The public may view the annual
assurance on the City's website or by visiting City Hall.

COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Jiri L, Morales, City Manager
DATE: January 11, 2017
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, ADOPTING, SUBSTANTIALLY IN THE FORM
ATTACHED TO THIS RESOLUTION, THE TITLE VI PROGRAM AND RELATED
NONDISCRIMINATION POLICY AND PLAN (TITLE A PROGRAM PLAN), AS
AMENDED, SUPPLEMENTING THE EXISTING TITLE VI PROGRAM PLAN, BY
EXPANDING ITS APPLICATION TO ALL CITYWIDE SERVICES (INSTEAD OF
JUST TRANSPORTATION); AND FURTHER AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER
OR HIS DESIGNEE TO MAKE SUCH FURTHER MODIFICATIONS TO THE TITLE
VI PROGRAM PLAN AS MAY BE REQUIRED BY THE APPLICABLE FEDERAL
AND STATE GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES WHICH OVERSEE THE FEDERAL
ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS IN WHICH THE CITY PARTICIPATES.
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission adopt the Resolution approving
a Cityvdde Title VI Nondischrr inallon Policy and Plan for all City services, program, and activities.
ANALYSIS
At the May 21, 2014 City Commission meeting, the Commission approved an Intedocal
Agreement with Miami -Dade County for provision of municipal circulator services (North Beach
trolley loop). Provisions of the agreement include compliance with federal requirements as
determined by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), including Title VI of the Civil Rights Act
of 1964. Title VI stipulates that no person shall, on the grounds of race, color, or national origin.
be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination
under any program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.
In 2014, pursuant to FTA requirements, the City developed a Title VI Program Plan specific to
the CiVs transit/trolley service. The Plan was reviewed by AECOM, a transportation planning
and engineering fine under the City's rotational contracts, t o ensure that the
Program Plan complied with all federal requirements. The Title VI Program Plan was adapted by
the City Commission on June 11, 2014.
In order to receive Federal funds for projects that include, but are not limited to, transit projects,
local agencies and their contractors and consultants must comply with Federal and State
nondiscrimination authorities, including state statutes, US Department of Justice (USDOJ), US
Department of Transportation (USDOT), and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA)
regulations, orders, and notices. To maintain Certification in the Local Agency Program (LAP),
618 of 1677
497
local agencies must submit the Sub -recipient Compliance Assessment Tool (SCAT) once every
three (3) years or at the request of USDOT. In Florida, for cities to be eligible to receive federal
funding through FDOT, sub -recipients must have a Title VI/Nondiscrimination Policy adopted by
their governing board that covers all programs, services and activities provided by the City.
Earlier this year, as part of the required LAP re -certification process, FDOT reviewed the City's
adopted 2014 Title VI Program Plan and found that while the adopted Plan meets FTA
requirements, the City's current version was limited to transit services and therefore not broad
enough to meet FFNVA/FDOT requirements.
Pursuant to FHWA/FDOT requirements, City staff drafted a new Title VI/Nondiscrimination
Policy and Plan to supplement the existing Plan by including all City services, programs, and
activities. The Title VI Program and Related Nondiscrimination Policy and Plan references the
City's Human Rights Ordinance codified in Chapter 62 of the City Code and provides a claim
form incorporating any claims of discrimination based upon Title VI and related discrimination
claims as well as any claims under the protected categories covered by the City's Human Rights
Ordinance.
The Draft Title VI/Nondiscrimination Policy and Plan was submitted to FDOT earlier this year for
a sufficiency review and was found to meet FHWA/FDOT requirements, in addition to FTA
requirements.
Below is a brief description of the major components of the Draft Title VI Program Plan as
developed by the Administration and approved by FDOT.
City's Policy Statement: Through this Program Plan, the City commits to non-
discrimination in any of its programs, services or activities as evidenced by the City of
Miami Beach Human Rights Ordinance codified in Chapter 62 of the City Code as may be
amended from time to time. Pursuant to Tide VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and other
federal and state authorities, as more particularly described in 23 CFR Part 200, he City
will rat i) exclude anyone from participation in, ii) deny anyone the benefits of, or iii) subject
anyone to discrimination under any city program, service, or activity, on the grounds of
race, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, religion, income or familial status.
• Title VI Program and Related Discrimination Complaint Procedure: The City has
established a Tide VI Program and related discrimination complaint procedure that
references the City's Human Rights Ordinance as codified in Chapter 62 of the City Code
and will take prompt and reasonable action to investigate and eliminate discrimination
when found. In addition, the proposed Program identifies a Title VI Coordinator for the
City.
ADA/504 Statement: The City commits to making every effort to ensure that its facilities,
programs, services, and activities are accessible to those with disabilities. The City will
make every effort to ensure that its advisory committees, public involvement activities and
all other programs, services and activities include representation by the disabled
community and disability service groups. The City encourages the public to report any
facility, program, service or activity that appears inaccessible to those who are disabled.
Furthermore, the City will provide reasonable accommodation to disabled individuals who
wish to participate in public involvement events or who require special assistance to
access facilities, programs, services or activities. In addition, the proposed Title VI
Program Plan identifies an ADA Coordinator for the City.
619 of 1677

Limited English Proficiency (LEP) Analysis: This analysis determined that there is a
significant percentage of Spanish-speaking population in the City. In an effort to promote
the use of City services by LEP customers, the City will make information readily available
in both English and Spanish such as City's websile (published in English and it may be
translated into Spanish or any other language as part of Google Translate tool by clicking
Google Select Language icon on the bottom left corner of the City's webpage), public
meeting notices, project information, and bilingual customer service staff. Complaint forms
are available on-line in both English and Spanish. Additional information can be provided in
Spanish upon request, and a telephone number and point of contact for the City is
provided in the Program Plan.
• Public Involvement: In order to plan for efficient, effective, safe, equitable and reliable
programs, services or activities, the City must have the input of its public. The City
commits to holding meetings, workshops and other events designed to gather public input
on project planning, design, and construction. Furthermore, the City attends and
participates in other community events to promote its services to the public. The City also
commits to constantly seeking ways of measuring the effectiveness of its public
involvement.
CONCLUSION
As mentioned above, for cities to be eligible to receive federal funding through FDOT, sub -
recipients must have a Title VI/Nondiscrimination Policy and Program Plan adopted by their
governing board that covers all programs, services and activities provided by the City. A City of
Miami Beach Title VI Program Plan adopted by the City Commission will ensure the City
remains eligible to receive federal funding for current and future roadway, infrastructure, and
transit projects and wilt also serve to proactively discourage discrimination on the basis of race,
color, national origin, sex, age, disability, religion, income or family status by adequately
educating and involving the community in the planning process as well as the implementation
of citywide services, programs, and activities.

IV. LANGUAGE ASSISTANCE PLAN AND LIMITED ENGLISH PROFICIENCY (LEP)
ANALYSIS
Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Executive Order 13166, and various directives from the
US Department of Justice (DOJ) and US Department of Transportation (DOT) require federal aid
recipients to take reasonable steps to ensure meaningful access to programs, services, and
activities by those who do not speak English proficiently. To determine the extent to which LEP
services are required and in which languages, the law requires the analysis of four factors:
The number or proportion of LEP persons eligible to be served or likely to be
encountered by the City's programs, services or activities.
The frequency with which LEP individuals come in contact with these programs,
services or activities.
The nature and importance of the program, service, or activity to people's lives,
and
The resources available to the City and the likely costs of the LEP services.
1. The principal languages among the City's residents are English and Spanish. According
to the 2016 American Community Survey, Table ID: 31601, 33 %of City residents reported
speaking only English, while 51.1% reported speaking Spanish with 53.5% of Spanish
speaking residents reporting that they speak English less than very well. Of the remaining
City residents, 12.9% reported speaking other Indo-European languages (other than
Spanish), 1.1 % reported speaking Asian or Pacific Island languages, and 1.9% reported
"other language."
The City's website is published in English and it may be translated into Spanish or any
other language as part of the Google Translate tool by clicking the Google Select
Language icon on the bottom left corner of each page.
2. LEP customers within the City, under the analysis identified as Spanish speakers, make
constant use of the City's services. In an effort to promote the use of the service by LEP
customers, the City will make the following information readily available in both English
and Spanish:
• City's Website
• Public Meeting Notices

requiring special language services should contact the City's Title VI/Nondiscrimination

V. PUBLIC INVOLVEMENT
In order to plan for efficient, effective, safe, equitable, and reliable programs, services, or
activities, the City must have the input of its public. The City spends extensive staff and financial
resources in furtherance of this goal and strongly encourages the participation of the entire
community. The City holds a number of meetings, workshops, and other events designed to
gather public input on project planning and construction. Furthermore, the City attends and
participates in other community events to promote its services to the public. Finally, the City is
constantly seeking ways of measuring the effectiveness of its public involvement including
biannual survey to businesses and residents.
VI. ASSURANCE
Every three years, or commensurate with a change in the City's executive leadership, the City
must certify to FHWA and FDOT that its programs, services, and activities are being conducted
in a nondiscriminatory manner. These certifications are termed 'assurances' and serve two
important purposes: first, they document the City's commitment to nondiscrimination and
equitable service to its community; and second, they serve as a legally enforceable agreement
by which the City may be held liable for breach. The public may view the annual assurance on
the City's website or by visiting City Hall.
VII. DATA COLLECTION
FHWA regulations require federal -aid recipients to collect racial, ethnic and other similar
demographic data on beneficiaries of or those affected by transportation programs, services and
activities. The Agency accomplishes this through the use of census data, American Community
Survey reports, Environmental Screening Tools (EST), driver and ridership surveys, its
community development department and other methods. From time to time, the Agency may find
it necessary to request voluntary identification of certain racial, ethnic or other data from those
who participate in Agency programs, services or activities. This information assists the Agency
with improving service equity and ensuring effective outreach. Self -identification of personal data
to the Agency will always be voluntary and anonymous. Moreover, the Agency will not release or
otherwise use this data in any manner inconsistent with the FHWA regulations.
