The City has submitted an application for funding through the Hazard Mitigation
grant program for storm shutters and protective glass for City buildings, in order to
mitigate potential future damage to these properties and to protect the lives of
persons. The buildings include: Historic City Hall, Police Station, City Hall, Fire
Station #3, Fire Station #1, Fleet Management, 1701 Meridian Avenue, 21st Street
Recreation Office, 555 17th Street, the Byron Carlyle Theater and the North Shore
Community Center.
The buildings listed above require protection in the event of a significant weather
event. As a barrier island, Miami Beach is subject to high winds, missile hazards
and significant impact damage. The City is replacing many of the existing, and
deteriorated shutters with new shutters, installing new shutters on facilities that
currently do not have protection and will install protective glass at Historic City Hall.
The City intends to apply for Hazard Mitigation funding at buildings that will be
constructed and/or renovated in the future.
The application has been submitted and retroactive approval is requested for this
application. A 25% match is required of this grant. The City will utilize matching
funds from the Miami-Dade County 2004 General Obligation Bonds approved by
the voters on November 2, 2004 for the replacement of windows with impact
resistant windows as part of the project for restoration of Historic City Hall. Also

each project. The funding request is then sponsored by State of Florida House and
Senate member sponsors. The City is requesting funding in the amount of
$5,000,000 for stormwater infrastructure improvements citywide, as part of the
