DATE: April 12, 2000
FROM:
Lawrence A. Levy
City Manager
SUBJECT:
A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE
CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING THE CITY
MANAGER, OR HIS DESIGNEE, TO SUBMIT AN APPLICATION TO THE
SOUTH FLORIDA COMMUNITY-URBAN RESOURCES PARTNERSHIP,
ON BEHALF OF THE MIAMI BEACH REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY, FOR
A GRANT, IN THE AMOUNT OF $25,000, WITH A MATCHING
CONTRIBUTION BY THE REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY OF $25,000,
FROM TAX INCREMENT FUNDS, FOR THE USE OF AN
ENVIRONMENT ALLY INNOVATIVE SOIL MIXTURE IN THE SOUTH
POINTE STREETSCAPE IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM; AND TO
APPROPRIATE THE FUNDS, IF AWARDED.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMEND A TION
Adopt the Resolution.
ANALYSIS
The South Florida-Urban Resources Partnership (SFURP) was initiated in 1994 to assist urban South
Florida communities in improving and protecting their environment through innovative partnership,
linking people, government, and resources. As a local component of the United States Department
of Agriculture, the SFURP administers funds from the National Resources Conservation Service as
authorized by the Soil and Domestic Allotment Act of 1935.
On behalf of the Miami Beach Redevelopment Agency, the City seeks $25,000, the maximum
available grant funds, from SFURP to defray costs related to using a new soil mixture for this portion
of the South Pointe Streetscape Improvement Program. The paving that surrounds urban street trees
normally does not allow sufficient water or air to permeate to the tree roots. The new soil mixture
will meet or exceed pavement design and installation requirements while remaining penetrable to
roots, air and water, thus facilitating the long-term survival of the live oaks proposed for this project.
The SFURP requires a dollar for dollar local match for its programs. The hardscape and softscape
funds of the Phase I budget of the South Pointe Streetscape Improvement Program total over $1
million and adequately meet this requirement.
The Administration recommends that Mayor and the City Commission adopt the resolution.
