CITY MANAGERS MESSAGE CARTA DEL ADMINISTRADOR

The ever-changing challenges faced by local governments throughout this country play out every day in our community, as well. Fortunately, Miami Beach is a jORGE M. GONzALEz very unique and resilient community and has been able to, through good leadership and management, address the issues head on and come out stronger. These past several years in particular have been extremely challenging due to the economic pressure we all face in weathering our countrys greatest economic downturn since the Great Depression. Weve addressed this challenge while maintaining the essential government services in the most economical and efficient way. It has given us the opportunity to make structural changes and creative innovations that position us well for the future. It should be evident that our commitment to our strategic planning process has yielded measurable improvements in the way we deliver services; how we do business; and more importantly, guided the decision-making process by ensuring that we are working together toward our mission with our sights firmly fixed on fiscal prudence. Our adherence to our adopted financial policies, our Commissions commitment to the long-term fiscal health of our community and our strategic budget process, put Miami Beach in a far better place than most local governments in the region even the nation. Los desafos que enfrentan los gobiernos locales a travs del pas tambin entran en juego todos los das en nuestra comunidad. Afortunadamente, Miami Beach es una ciudad muy nica y muy fuerte, y gracias a un buen liderazgo y una buena administracin, ha podido abordar los desafios directamente y se ha hecho ms fuerte como resultado. Estos ltimos aos en particular han sido extremadamente difciles debido a la presin econmica a la que todos nos hemos enfrentado durante la mayor crisis econmica que ha visto nuestro pas desde la Gran Depresin. Hemos lidiado con este desafo y a la misma vez con nuestro compromiso de mantener los servicios pblicos esenciales de la forma ms econmica y eficiente. Esto nos ha dado la oportunidad de hacer cambios estructurales e innovaciones creativas que nos colocan en una buena posicin para el futuro. Es evidente que nuestro compromiso con nuestro proceso de planificacin estratgica ha permitido lograr mejoras medibles en la forma en la que prestamos nuestros servicios; la forma en que hacemos negocios, y ms importante an, ha guiado el proceso decisivo, y ha asegurado que estemos trabajando juntos para lograr nuestra misin con los ojos puestos en la prudencia fiscal. Nuestra adhesin a nuestras leyes financieras, el compromiso de nuestra Comisin a la salud fiscal de nuestra comunidad a largo plazo y nuestro proceso de presupuesto estratgico, pusieron a Miami Beach en mucha mejor posicin que la mayora de los gobiernos locales en la regin - incluso en la nacin.

En respuesta a una solicitud del comit de Asuntos de vida Nocturna de la Ciudad se ha creado un nuevo cargo en el Departamento de Construcciones de la Ciudad: la Defensora del Cliente [Customer Advocate Ombudsman]. Barbara Hawayek, quien durante los ltimos ocho aos ha sido Administradora de Servicio al Cliente de la Ciudad, actualmente est desempeando tambin estas funciones de defensora. La solicitud del comit fue aceptada en un esfuerzo por tener a alguien en la Ciudad ocupado especficamente de ayudar a los fundadores de nuevos negocios a comprender los diversos procesos que se requieren cuando se abre un negocio en Miami Beach. El cargo tambin ayuda a los representantes de los negocios a afrontar los desafos implicados en el proceso de las construcciones. No obstante, la Defensora del Cliente no revisa ni procesa los planes, ya que fue creada para atender exclusivamente las inquietudes de servicio al cliente. www.miamibeachfl.gov barbarahawayek@miamibeachfl.gov 305.673.7610 ext. 6977

BUILDING A BETTER PLACE

In response to a request from the Citys Nightlife Industry Task Force and the improvements resulting from the Watson Rice study, a new customer advocate ombudsman position was added in the Building Department. Barbara Hawayek, a customer service manager the last eight years, is currently also serving in the ombudsman position. The committees request was fulfilled in an effort to have someone specifically assigned to assist new business owners understand the various processes of opening a business in Miami Beach. The position also assists business representatives that encounter challenges when going through the building process. This position, however, does not review or process plans, but was created to strictly execute customer service concerns for businesses and residents.

HOLIDAY SAFETY TIPS

With the upcoming holidays quickly approaching, the Miami Beach Police Department reminds everyone to make a conscious effort to take precautions for their own safety. The following are some tips that can be used to ensure that everyone has a safe and happy holiday: HOLIDAY SHOPPING Avoid carrying large amounts of cash. Carry only your credit cards, debit cards, checks and drivers licenses. If you carry a purse do not wrap it around your arms or shoulders, you could risk injury from a would-be snatcher. Do not carry wallets in back pockets. Park in well lighted areas so you can see your vehicle from as far away as possible. Always lock all doors whether you are in or out of your car. Be mindful of where you park your car to avoid hesitation when returning. Shop with a friend; there is safety in numbers. Be alert of your surroundings and the people near you. When possible place all shopping bags in a plain non-descript bag; shopping bags from high-end stores with names or logos are advertisements for thieves looking to steal high-end merchandise. Have keys readily available when returning to your car. Ask Security personnel to escort you to your car if you are uncomfortable walking alone. Glance in the back seat and under your vehicle before getting in. If you think you are being followed do not go home; drive to the nearest police or fire station, a gas station or well lighted place where there are people to help you. ConsEjos sE sEguridAd PArA lA tEmPorAdA FEstivA El departamento de polica de Miami Beach les brinda algunos consejos a seguir para ayudarle a tener unas fiestas seguras y felices: Evite llevar con usted grandes cantidades de dinero en efectivo. Lleve consigo solamente las tarjetas de crdito y dbito, cheques y licencias de conducir. Si lleva un bolso, no lo envuelva alrededor de sus brazos o los hombros para evitar sufrir lesiones de un posible robo. No lleve carteras en los bolsillos traseros. Estacione en reas bien iluminadas para que pueda ver su vehculo lo ms lejos posible. Siempre cierre con llave todas las puertas lo mismo si est dentro o fuera de su coche. Est consciente de dnde se estaciona para evitar dudas al regresar a su auto. vaya de compras con un amigo/a, en grupos hay ms seguridad. Est alerta de sus alrededores y la gente cerca de usted. Cuando sea posible agrupe todas las bolsas de compras en una sola bolsa sin descripcin y evite exhibir bolsas de marcas, lo cual atrae a los ladrones. Tenga las llaves listas al regresar a su coche. Pidale al personal de seguridad que lo acompae a su coche si no est cmodo caminando solo. Dele un vistaso al asiento trasero y mire debajo de su vehculo antes de subirse. Si usted piensa que lo estn siguiendo no vaya directo a su casa, dirijase al departamento de polica ms cercano, a una estacin de bomberos, una estacin de servicio o un lugar bien iluminado donde haya gente que le ayude.

MIAMIBEACH INSPIRES CREATIVITY WHILE EDUCATING

LIFE IS SHORT, ART IS LONG. -- HIPPOCRATES
We are undoubtedly a city that embraces art and culture. We are home to worldclass institutions, such as the New World Symphony and Miami City Ballet. Cutting edge art is showcased at the Bass and Wolfsonian-FIU museums and Art Basel Miami Beach. Our Art Deco architecture is a work of art, in and of itself. Therefore, it may not come as a surprise that Florida International University (FIU) would expand its artistic footprint into our vibrant city. Located in the iconic building at 420 Lincoln Road,FIUs new Miami Beach Urban Studios part of the College of Architecture + the Arts (CARTA) will immerse students in our local arts and culture, while providing our community with the benefit of enjoying the product of their studies. Thearts are vital to the spirit of our community and serve as economic drivers, said Dean Brian Schriner of CARTA.We are fortunate to be able to provide our students the opportunity to engage with our communities while pursuing their professional studies on Lincoln Road.
The studios willhouse graduate design studios for architecture students; practice rooms for music students; exhibition and graduate studios for visual arts students; performance spaces for theatrestudents; and classrooms for communication arts students. As an anchor institution in South Florida, FIU needs to be where our students are, said FIU President Mark B. Rosenberg. Our growth strategy focuses our teaching, research and creative energies in service to and engagement with our community. The Lincoln Road studiosalsowillbe home tothenewly establishedOffice of Engaged Teaching, Scholarship, and Creative Activities,headedby local artist XavierCortada,whowill work collaboratively with FIU faculty on initiatives to engage local businesses, artists, designers, cultural institutions, and governmental agencies.
These collaborations, by students at the undergrad and graduate level, will provide our residents with yet another cultural experience, said City Manager Jorge M. Gonzalez, referring to planned events on Lincoln Road and local facilities. By the same token, the city is the perfect canvas for these students. This is FIUs second endeavor in Miami Beach. For over a decade, The WolfsonianFIU has made its home in the Art Deco District. Not limited to a museum, it is also a library and research center that uses its collection to illustrate the persuasive power of art and design. Miami Beachs commitment to education, culture, and our incredible architectural history defines us as a community, added Miami Beach Mayor Matti Herrera Bower. We are so proud to have FIU locating a part of the college that includes all of those elements right here on Lincoln Road. Its a perfect fit.

Ellen Vargas Its got a funny name, and just ask anyone who has done it and they will tell you that getting fit has never been more fun. Its called ZUMBA, and this popular one-hour exhilarating, calorie burning, dynamic body energizing Latin-inspired fitness party is now in full swing at Miami Beach Parks and Recreation. ZUMBA was created by dancer and choreographer Alberto Beto Perez in Colombia, in the mid 1990s. It all began when Beto walked into his class and realized that he had forgotten his aerobics music. He improvised with the music he had in his car, traditional Latin salsa and merengue music. From this on the spot improvisation, ZUMBA was born. The class became so successful in Colombia, Beto brought his classes to the United States. Today, the ZUMBA program has grown to become what some say is the worlds largest and most successful dance-fitness program, with more than 12 million people of all shapes, sizes and ages taking weekly classes all over the world. I truly like this class, said Miami Beach resident Kathy Bass. No matter what level you are at, you can still enjoy the class and have fun. ZUMBA combines dance and aerobic elements choreographed to a variety of music such as samba, salsa, merengue, cumbia, mambo, flamenco, chacha, reggaeton, and Bollywood. A typical ZUMBA class can burn between 500 and 1,000 calories and is recognized by the Aerobics and Fitness Association of America, IDEA Health and Fitness Association and the American Council on Exercise.
RTY! HE PA T
We have many fitness options to offer our residents, from beach-side outdoor gym equipment, to swimming and adult athletic leagues, added Assistant Parks and Recreation Director Julio Magrisso. But this is a one-of-a-kind class that makes getting fit a lot of fun. ZUMBA classes are offered for adults and children 14 years and older at the Scott Rakow Youth Center and North Shore Park Youth Center.

BRIDGING THE DIGITAL DIVIDE FOR OUR CHILDREN, ELDERLY They have become a necessity for students, and a link for seniors to their families. But while many people can be seen using laptop computers anywhere from coffee houses to park benches, there are those in our community for which there is no easy access to a computer -- let alone a laptop. As part of our partnership with IBM for citywide WiFi, we negotiated to receive 100 laptops for the community, 70 more than originally offered. Staff looked at several options on how to deploy the computers to expand computer literacy and use among youth and seniors. Through this donation, we are establishing a laptop loaner program in public schools and creating computer stations for the communitys elder residents residing in senior affordable housing buildings. Free WiFi is great, but only if you have a computer to access it, explains the Citys Chief Financial Officer Patricia Walker, who negotiated the IBM contract. The student laptop loaner program will provide 10 loaner laptops for Biscayne, South Pointe and North Beach elementary schools, Fienberg/Fisher K-8 and Nautilus middle schools, and Miami Beach Senior High. The laptop computer bags were donated by Total Bank. Enriching connections is the goal behind the laptop stations at almost a dozen senior housing buildings. This new program is due to the success of a previous laptop program at Freedom Towers, in cooperation with Dwights Computer for Kids. Additional buildings that primarily house seniors will now receive the IBM donated laptops. Seniors will be able to pay bills, shop, and communicate with family and friends, while accessing the citys free Wi-Fi services. Mount Sinai donated a mouse for each laptop and mouse pads were donated by Humana. Local schools and youth organizations are also pitching in to provide volunteer instruction for the seniors. For a list of participating buildings, contact Marcela Rubio at 305.673.7491 or marcelarubio@miamibeachfl.gov.
PREPARING OUR YOUTH & FAMILIES FOR SUCCESS

Miami Beach is already at the forefront of education in America as the first municipality to implement an International Baccalaureate (IB) program that is accessible to every student in all of its public schools. Two new City programs, the Parent-Child Home Program and the Morning All-Stars, are following in that trend readying children for both, school and life. All Miami Beach families with children 16 to 36 months of age can participate in the fun, home-based Parent-Child Home Program. Recognized nationally for its ability to improve parent-child relationships and for preparing children for future academic success, the program is being implemented thanks to a grant the City applied for and was awarded by The Childrens Trust. The most extensive program for toddlers ever offered in Miami Beach to date, it requires a rigorous certification process for staff, and offers continuing services to families for up to two years. We always look for opportunities to bring programs to the city that will provide support to our families, said Maria Ruiz, community services director. This grant allows us to offer a top-notch curriculum in a convenient way. Parents and their children receive one free toy or book each week, along with twice weekly, 30-minute visits from a trained home visitor who will help parents interact with their children in ways that promote literacy, language development and school readiness. Also funded by The Childrens Trust and geared towards older children, the free Morning All-Stars promotes the abstinence of drugs, alcohol and sex. This interactive program for sixth and seventh graders encourages peer discussion and family support. It is offered weekly at the following locations: Fienberg Fisher K-8 Center Nautilus Middle School North Shore Youth Center (summer only) PARENT-CHILD HOME PROGRAM Cristina Denis, 305.673.7491 cristinadenis@miamibeachfl.gov MORNING ALL-STARS Jenne Midget, 305.673.7491 jennemidget@miamibeachfl.gov.

PREPARANDO A NUESTROS JvENES Y FAMILIAS PARA EL XITO

Miami Beach ya se encuentra a la vanguardia de la educacin en Amrica al ser la primera municipalidad en implementar un programa de Bachillerato Internacional (IB) accesible a todos los estudiantes en todas las escuelas pblicas de la Ciudad. Dos nuevos programas de la Ciudad, el Programa de Padres y Nios en el Hogar [Parent-Child Home Program] y el de Morning All-Stars, ya estn siguiendo esta tendencia y preparando a los nios para los estudios y para la vida. Todas las familias de Miami Beach con nios entre 16 y 36 meses de edad pueden participar en el divertido Programa de Padres y Nios en el Hogar. Reconocido a nivel nacional por su capacidad para mejorar las relaciones entre padres e hijos y para preparar a los nios para su futuro xito acadmico, el programa se est implementado gracias a una subvencin solicitada por la Ciudad y otorgada por The Childrens Trust. Este es el ms completo programa ofrecido hasta ahora en Miami Beach para los nios de las edades antes mencionadas, el cual requiere un riguroso proceso de certificacin del personal y ofrece servicios continuos a las familias hasta por dos aos. Siempre estamos en la bsqueda de oportunidades para ofrecerle a la Ciudad programas que brinden apoyo a nuestras familias, afirma Mara Ruiz, Directora de Servicios Comunitarios. Esta subvencin nos permite ofrecer de una manera conveniente un plan de estudios de muy alta calidad. Cada semana los padres y sus hijos reciben un juguete o un libro gratuito, y dos veces por semana son visitados durante 30 minutos por un asesor capacitado que ayuda a los padres a interactuar con sus hijos con el fin de estimular adecuadamente el aprendizaje de la lectura, el desarrollo del lenguaje y la preparacin escolar. El programa Monring All-Stars, tambin financiado por The Childrens Trust y orientado a los nios mayores, promueve la abstinencia de drogas, alcohol y sexo. Este programa interactivo, dirigido a los nios de sexto y sptimo grado, fomenta el dilogo entre ellos y el apoyo familiar. Se ofrece semanalmente en los siguientes lugares: contina en la pgina 18

Ivette Daz Planned communities that encourage walking and cycling tend to be healthier, greener, and benefit property values and local businesses. A new report by Seattle-based Walk Score showed that Miami Beach is Floridas most walkable community. Miami Beach received one of the highest scores in the country; although, not considered a major city. The Walk Score rating was the result of a survey that looked at how easily residents could access goods and services within short distances, using a scale of 100 to rank walkability. Miami Beach received an overall 75 with some neighborhoods scoring as high as 95. The way the city is designed with everything within walking distance and not enclosed inside a mall makes Miami Beach incredibly pedestrian friendly, said Miami Beach resident, Renee Wilson, 31, who relocated to Miami Beach a year ago. Thats the whole point of living on the beach. At any given time, you have skaters, scooters, people with their dogs, and bikers getting around. For over a decade, the Miami Beach Municipal Mobility Plan (MMP) has been improving citywide mobility needs. It is the first master plan envisioned by city leaders and planners since the 1920s. It includes a host of forwarding-thinking projects that are addressing all modes of mobility in the city like mass transit, bicycles and pedestrians, as opposed to simply vehicles. We have accomplished approximately 65 percent of our MMP projects, which has improved how people get around, said Fred Beckmann, director, Public Works Department.

As the result of a walkability study conducted last year, Miami-Dade County marked crosswalks and added flashing warning lights at the intersection of 11 Street and Jefferson Avenue. Stamped asphalt crosswalks, as well as audible push buttons, have been added citywide for pedestrian safety. I like the crosswalks because I feel safer than crossing where there are no white lines on the street, this way people see me and stop to let me cross, commented local student Cristian Vargas, 12, as he crossed 11 Street from Flamingo Park. The MMP is also addressing alternate modes of transportation and completing street construction projects to accommodate them. It added parking spaces for scooters, resurfaced streets and sidewalks, and conducted traffic-calming projects in several residential and commercial areas. Bridges and major intersections also received facelifts. People who use bikes to get around the beach are thrilled with the changes over the last ten years. Washington Avenue, one of the citys most important commercial districts, got the citys first shared lane for bicycles and vehicles. The roads marked
sharrows allow bicycles and vehicles to share a traffic lane. Bike racks are now abundant in the city, with about 150 of the fixtures installed over the last five years. An estimated 500 bicycle racks will be added by the end of 2015, said Beckmann. Milton DeTrinidad, 42, lives near Jackson Memorial Hospital. A Miami Beach hotel employee for the last 15 years, DeTrinidad has always cycled 45 minutes to and from his home and work. During his lunch break and after work, he cycles to Lincoln Road, restaurants and other locales and says he feels safe among other bikers and drivers. Biking or walking is better than driving; everything here is within five minutes, concentrated and you dont have to pay for a (parking) meter, DeTrinindad said. Nothing has happened to me in 15 years. The citys bike-sharing program, DecoBike, is receiving a lot of media attention and several accolades, including the Outstanding Achievement City Livability Award by the U.S. Conference of Mayors. Programs like DecoBike bring many benefits to cities, such as reduced traffic congestion, improved air quality, quieter and more livable streets, and the opportunity for citizens to improve their health through exercise. One of the MMPs popular projects includes the beachwalk, a component of the Atlantic Greenway Network (AGN). The beachwalk is a concrete multipurpose running, walking and jogging environmental path that runs parallel to the ocean. On any given morning or afternoon, you see many people jog, run or walk the path for exercise, fun, or just to catch the sunrise or sunset by the ocean. It is a terrific asset to the city because the
hotels are there and people go out to see the sun and have a place to go you meet fantastic people, said long-time resident, Doris Williams, 74. When completed, the beach/baywalk will make a seamless path that will stretch from the bay to South Pointe Park all the way to North Beach. Currently, the beachwalk/ boardwalk extends from South Beach to 47 Street and from 64 Street to the north end of North Shore Open Space Park. The South Beach Local and Mid-North Beach connector buses are also ways to get around the city without a vehicle. I use the Local for everything, said Judy Feiner, 81, as she got ready to go to temple on 41 Street from her home in Belle Isle on Rosh Hashanah. The two buses are exclusive circulators to the city and run every 15 minutes for 25 cents a ride. There are many more mobility projects in the works including a rental/sharedcar program, more bicycle lanes, and parking and traffic calming improvements. A new transit center on 72 Street will accommodate Miami-Dade Countys transit buses. Improving mobility continues to be a priority, added Beckmann. With the coordination and cooperation of agencies from the federal, state and county levels down to our residents and businesses, we can make getting around our city a lot easier and safer.

Judy Feiner, 81, of Belle Isle, uses the South Beach Local bus circulator and walks to get to the store, her temple and to meet friends around the beach. I use the Local for everything. Brickell resident Ray Carrera, 37, keeps his trike bicycle at his friends house in Miami Beach and bikes to get around when he is in town, which is almost every day. I like biking in Miami Beach because its a slow-moving area, my bike is easier than driving or using my motor bike plus it easier to talk to people. South Beach aesthetician Renee Wilson, 31, I do have a car but I really dont use it thats the whole point of living on the beach; Miami Beach is incredibly pedestrian-friendly. Beatriz Muoz, 45, loves to walk and ride her bike with her family on the weekends. I also walk to work almost every day. That is why I moved here and to be close to the beach. Clara LaRosa relocated to Miami Beach 12 years ago from New York City and walks about 10 blocks daily to and from home and work. South Beach is a very accessible city for pedestrians. I also walk to Lincoln and Alton roads to shop, recreate and workout. I also use the South Beach Local.

DAR EL EJEMPLO A PIE Y EN BICICLETA

Miami Beach es la Ciudad de la Florida ms apta para caminar
Las comunidades planificadas que promueven el desplazamiento a pie y en bicicleta tienden a ser ms sanas, ms ecolgicas y benefician el valor de las propiedades y de los negocios locales. Un reciente informe presentado por Walk Score, con sede en Seattle, mostr que Miami Beach es la comunidad ms apta para caminar en la Florida. Miami Beach recibi uno de los puntajes ms altos en el pas, pese a que no se le considerada una de las grandes ciudades. La calificacin de Walk Score es el resultado de una encuesta que evalu la facilidad con que los residentes pueden acceder a los bienes y servicios a corta distancia, utilizando una escala de 100 para medir la peatonabilidad. Miami Beach recibi una puntuacin general de 75 y algunos vecindarios hasta de 95. La manera en que la Ciudad est diseada, con todo a una distancia accesible a pie, y el hecho de que no todo est dentro de un centro comercial, hace que Miami Beach sea increblemente amigable con los peatones, dice Renee Wilson, de 31 aos, residente de Miami Beach, quien se mud a la Ciudad hace un ao. Esa es precisamente la idea de vivir en la playa, en todo momento se ve a gente movilizarse en patines, en scooters o en bicicleta, y con sus perros. Durante ms de una dcada, el Plan de Movilidad Municipal de Miami Beach (MMP) ha venido mejorando la atencin a las necesidades de movilidad en toda la Ciudad. Es el primer plan maestro concebido por los lderes y planificadores de la Ciudad desde la dcada de los 20. Dicho plan contiene una serie de proyectos vanguardistas de todos los medios de movilidad en la Ciudad, incluyendo el transporte masivo, las bicicletas y los peatones, en contraste con el uso exclusivo de los vehculos. Hemos concluido aproximadamente el 65 por ciento de nuestros proyectos del MMP, lo cual ha mejorado la manera en que la gente se desplaza, declara Fred Beckmann, director del Departamento de Obras Pblicas. Como resultado de un estudio de peatonabilidad realizado el ao pasado, el Condado de Miami-Dade marc los cruces peatonales y agreg luces intermitentes de advertencia en la interseccin de la Calle 11 y la Avenida Jefferson. Para seguridad de los peatones se han adicionado en toda la Ciudad puntos de cruce para peatones, demarcados en el asfalto, al igual que botones sonoros de alerta. Me gustan los cruces peatonales porque me siento ms seguro que cuando cruzo en lugares donde no hay lneas blancas en la calle. De esta manera la gente me ve y se detiene para que yo pueda pasar, comenta el estudiante local Cristian vargas, de 12 aos de edad, al cruzar la Calle 11 viniendo de Flamingo Park. El MMP tambin est trabajando en modos alternativos de transporte y est terminando los proyectos de construccin de vas para mejorar la movilidad. Esto est permitiendo aumentar los espacios de estacionamiento para scooters, repavimentar las calles y aceras, y llevar a cabo proyectos de descongestin del trfico en diversas reas residenciales y comerciales. Tambin se han hecho mejoras en puentes e intersecciones principales. Las personas que se desplazan en bicicleta por la playa estn encantadas con los cambios en los ltimos diez aos. En la Avenida Washington, uno de los distritos comerciales ms importantes de la Ciudad, se cre el primer carril compartido para bicicletas y vehculos. El carril marcado con sharrows permite que bicicletas y vehculos compartan un carril en la va. En nuestra Ciudad hay abundantes puestos para estacionamiento de bicicletas. En los ltimos cinco aos se han instalado alrededor de 150. A finales de 2015 se habrn instalado aproximadamente otros 500 puestos de estacionamiento para bicicletas, explica es Sr. Beckmann. Milton DeTrinidad, de 42 aos de edad, vive cerca del Hospital Jackson Memorial. Durante los ltimos 15 aos ha sido empleado de un hotel de Miami Beach y siempre se ha movilizado en bicicleta entre su casa y el trabajo, en recorridos de 45 minutos. Durante su hora de almuerzo y despus del trabajo se desplaza a Lincoln Road, a los restaurantes y a otros lugares, y afirma sentirse seguro entre otros ciclistas y conductores. Montar en bicicleta o caminar es mejor que conducir; aqu todo est a cinco minutos y no hay que pagar parqumetro. En 15 aos no he tenido ningn problema, dice Milton DeTrinindad.

MiaMi Beach Keeps Lowering Your Tax rate

Smart financial management decisions and a healthy tourism economy paved the way for lowering your property tax this year. Holding the line on utility fees, as well, will mean some added relief for the average homeowner. Over the last several years, city officials have been challenged with balancing a budget that maintains current and enhanced service levels, while facing the realities of the economy decreases in property taxes and increases in the costs of doing business; in part, due to pension obligations and labor and health costs. The City of Miami Beach was able to offset some of its budgetary expenses like public safety by using resort tax funds and parking funds. We have worked to identify and streamline opportunities for efficiencies, said Kathie Brooks, director, Office of Budget and Performance Improvement. Were budgeting to collect almost $2 million less in taxes in FY 2011/12 than we budgeted in FY 2010/11, partially because values have decreased, but also because of our decreasing the property tax rate. Only 45 percent of this years budget is supported by property taxes. Five years ago, more than half of the budget was supported with property taxes a 24 percent decrease. Weve made good sound decisions on working to address priorities and living within our means, while careful not to sacrifice services, explained City Manager Jorge M. Gonzalez. Youre getting the same service or more, but paying less. More bang for your buck. Total combined millage rate (tax rate) has dropped 16 percent over the last five years and the operating budget has dropped 16 percent over the same period, while maintaining enhanced services like keeping the city cleaner and safer over the years. Even with substantial reductions to the budget, new facilities and projects have been completed, such as Normandy Golf Club, SoundScape, and beach walks, and a number of other facilities have been improved all of which are new expenses. Furthermore, the budget is only about three percent more than it was in 2006/07, in spite of typical increases in materials and goods since that time. Property tax is not the only area where city officials are looking at saving residents money. Utility fees this year will not increase, although the citys wholesale cost for sewer service from Miami-Dade County increased; this represents a savings of $14.50 for an average 11,000 gallons per year household. Furthermore, the FPL franchise fee is under negotiation where residents could derive cost-saving benefits to rate payers in our city.

Una economa del turismo sana y decisiones de gestin financiera inteligentes han sentado las bases para la reduccin del impuesto sobre la propiedad inmobiliaria en el ao en curso. La Ciudad de Miami Beach pudo compensar algunos de sus gastos presupuestarios, por ejemplo de seguridad pblica, haciendo uso de los fondos de estacionamiento y los fondos del impuesto a los resorts. Los impuestos sobre la propiedad inmobiliaria constituyen apenas el 45% del presupuesto de este ao. Hace cinco aos, constituan ms de la mitad del presupuesto (una reduccin del 24%). En los ltimos aos, los funcionarios municipales se han enfrentado al reto de lograr un presupuesto equilibrado, que mantenga niveles de servicio mejorados y al da, al mismo tiempo que encare las realidades de la economa: reduccin de impuestos sobre los bienes inmuebles, y aumento del costo de los negocios, en parte debido a las obligaciones de pensiones y los costos de personal y de salud. Hemos trabajado para identificar y racionalizar oportunidades de ahorro, coment Kathie Brooks, directora de la Oficina de Presupuesto y Mejora de Desempeo. Para el ao fiscal 2011/2012, prevemos recaudar casi 2 millones de dlares menos en impuestos que en el ao fiscal 2010/2011, en parte porque la valorizacin ha disminuido, pero tambin debido a que hemos reducido la tasa de impuestos sobre la propiedad inmobiliaria. Decisiones acertadas y sensatas para resolver asuntos prioritarios y vivir segn nuestros medios, pero prestando atencin a no sacrificar los servicios, explic Jorge M. Gonzalez, Administrador de la Ciudad. Se est recibiendo el mismo servicio, o ms, pero se est pagando menos. Es llevarse ms por el mismo precio. La tasa combinada total de impuesto en milsimas ha cado un 15% en los ltimos cinco aos, y el presupuesto operativo ha cado un 16% en el mismo perodo, al mismo tiempo que se han conservado servicios mejorados, como el mantenimiento de una ciudad ms limpia y segura a lo largo de los aos. Aun con reducciones sustanciales de presupuesto, se han completado nuevas instalaciones y proyectos, como el Normandy Golf Club, SoundScape y los senderos de la playa, y se han hecho mejoras en varias otras instalaciones, todo lo cual representa nuevos gastos. Adems, el presupuesto es apenas de alrededor de un 3% ms que en 2006/2007. El impuesto sobre los bienes inmuebles no es el nico rubro con el que los funcionarios municipales buscan hacer ahorrar dinero a los residentes. Las tarifas de los servicios pblicos no subirn este ao, pese al aumento del costo al por mayor del servicio de alcantarillado del Condado de Miami-Dade, un ahorro de $14.50 para un promedio de 11,000 galones al ao hogar(??). Adems, estn en negociacin los honorarios de franquicia de FPL, con lo cual los residentes podran beneficiarse del ahorro de costos para los contribuyentes de la Ciudad.

galardones, entre ellos el de Logro Sobresaliente de Habitabilidad Ciudadana, otorgado por la Conferencia de Alcaldes de Estados Unidos. Programas como el de DecoBike traen muchos beneficios a las ciudades, tales como la reduccin de la congestin del trfico, la mejora de la calidad del aire, la habitabilidad y tranquilidad en las calles, y la oportunidad para que los ciudadanos mejoren su salud mediante el ejercicio. Uno de los proyectos populares del MMP incluye el paseo peatonal beachwalk, que forma parte de Atlantic Greenway Network (AGN). El paseo peatonal es una va de concreto paralela al mar, con sentido ambiental, multiusos, diseada para caminar, trotar y correr. A cualquier hora, ya sea en la maana o en la tarde, se ven muchas personas trotando, corriendo o caminando por el paseo peatonal para hacer ejercicio, divertirse o simplemente para ver el amanecer o el atardecer junto al mar.
Doris Williams, de 74 aos de edad, residente desde hace largo tiempo, dice: Es un gran recurso de la Ciudad porque los hoteles estn ah y cuando la gente sale a ver el sol tiene un lugar a dnde ir y conocer gente fantstica. Cuando se haya completado el paseo peatonal, se integrar completamente, y se extender desde la baha y South Beach hasta North Beach. En la actualidad, el paseo peatonal beachwalk/boardwalk se extiende desde South Beach hasta la Calle 47 y desde la Calle 64 hasta el extremo norte del North Shore Open Space Park. El transporte local que conecta a South Beach y a Mid-North Beach tambin es un medio para desplazarse sin vehculo alrededor de la Ciudad. Yo utilizo el transporte local para todo, dice Judy Feiner de 81 aos, mientras se prepara para ir al templo en la Calle 41 desde su casa en Belle Isle, en Rosh Hashanah. Las dos rutas de autobuses circulan exclusivamente por la Ciudad y pasan cada 15 minutos, a un costo de 25
centavos por viaje. Hay muchos otros proyectos de movilidad en desarrollo, los cuales incluyen un programa de automviles alquilados/ compartidos, ms carriles para bicicletas, y mejoras en los servicios de estacionamiento y en la descongestin del trfico. Un nuevo centro de transporte en la Calle 72 albergar a los autobuses de Miami-Dade. Mejorar la movilidad sigue siendo una prioridad, aade Beckmann. Con la coordinacin y la cooperacin de los organismos a nivel federal, estatal y del condado, y de nuestros residentes y negocios, podemos hacer que moverse por nuestra Ciudad sea ms fcil y seguro.

our sustainable publiC WorkspaCe

Ivette Daz When it comes to sustainability efforts, the City is putting its money where its mouth is. Over the next 13 years, a citywide energy-savings plan is expected to yield energy and water savings of over $17 million, and a total savings, including operations and maintenance, of over $20 million guaranteed. The plan, approved in 2008, will enhance the environmental sustainability of our city. Ameresco, the Citys energy-savings contractor, is currently implementing the plan citywide and must repay the City if savings are not realized. The list of projects runs the gamut, but will have the same end result green alternatives that will provide long-term savings.
light eFFiCienCY
This project brings all lighting systems citywide to meet minimum light levels. In addition to increasing safety and providing comfortable lighting, the transition reduces electrical consumption, operation and maintenance. City Hall, parks, garages, lots and all public facilities are switching from 32 watt T8 lamps and electronic ballasts to energy-efficient, 28 watt T8 lamps and high-efficiency electronic ballasts. Wall and ceiling-mounted photo and occupancy sensors are being installed in certain locations to detect when the lights are needed or not, such as during daylight hours and when a location is unoccupied. An energy efficient lighting control system will also help better monitor the use of energy citywide.
better energY management
Building level controls systems were upgraded to help monitor and manage energy levels at 17 city-owned facilities. They are integrated into a computerized single-energy management system (EMS). The citywide, web-based EMS interfaces with existing control systems so that buildings conditions, schedules, setpoints and alarms are easily viewable and thus monitored for energy level consumption. Other components include demand controlled ventilation, active building scheduling, and unoccupied setback systems.

The retrofitting of 40 public facilities was recently completed in an effort to conserve domestic water. Low-flow fixtures replaced standard-flow faucets, toilets, and showerheads, and laundry and ice machines were retrofitted for reduced water consumption. These measures are also helping to reduce the cost of wastewater treatment and water heating.
Water Conservation
a short term investment Can mean long-term savings. here are some ideas You Can implement to be green-FriendlY, and save some green:
Consider replacing A/C units older than 10 years old Check A/C ducts and seals for leaks Install ceiling fans and turn off when leaving the room Install high-efficiency showerheads Repair leaky faucets and toilets Install high-efficiency toilets Adjust your water heater to 115-120F Switch to energy-efficient compact fluorescent light or CFL bulbs
a neW poWer transFormer
Use a flat-screen monitor Use approved Energy Star appliances http://www.epa. gov/gateway/learn/ greenliving.html
This measure replaces several existing transformers with energy-efficient, dry-type indoor transformers that step-down (or transform) 480-volt power to 208Y/120 volt power, thus increasing energy conservation.
geothermal a/C Cooling
The conversion to a district chiller plant and the use of a geothermal system at the Miami Beach Convention Center (MBCC) will help save electricity, domestic water, chemicals and maintenance costs. The chiller plant provides chilled water used in the air conditioning systems of four major city buildings. The geothermal system replaces the need to operate five large cooling towers and support equipment by taking water out of the aquifer, and sending that water through two heat-exchangers, which pre-cools the chilled water before it returns to the chillers. The district chiller plant will provide chilled water through a closed loop system to the MBCC, the Fillmore, City Hall and its related campus buildings. A similar but smaller geothermal system was already installed at the police station headquarters on Washington Avenue. This system will significantly reduce daily energy consumption and related costs in operating the air conditioning system at the police station, which also provides the air conditioning to the city-owned Historic City Hall. en espaol pgina 35

HOW CAN I FILE A COMPLAINT OR REqUEST THAT SOMEONE FIX A BROKEN STREETLIGHT?
Although service requests can be made the traditional way by making a telephone call, over a year ago, the City of Miami Beach launched a new Internet-based program, Citizen Support Center, to handle online complaints or request for service. You may submit an online service request such as an inspection; report an issue such as barking dog, a broken water-meter box, broken streetlight or parking-meter station; or ask a question to a specific department. The most frequently asked questions regarding city services and information are already posted for your convenience. The system provides a confirmation receipt for all service requests, questions or complaints submitted, making it easy for users to follow up on the status of their submissions. You can even access the Citys master calendar for information on your neighborhoods trash pickup schedule and public meetings, such as commission and boards and committee meetings.

A NEW PERSPECTIVE TO THE POINTE

Shari Lipner-Hobert Miami Beach has always been synonymous with sand and surf. People flock here from all over the world to take advantage of everything the ocean waves have to offer. Coming soon, visitors will get a new beach side experience, a view of marine life and a chance to fish from the South Pointe Pier. In 2004, the existing pier, built in the 1970s, was deemed to have reached the end of its lifespan and was shut down pending plans for rehabilitation. The 35-year old structure showed evidence of weakening concrete and rusting rebar a consequence of a daily salt-water beating over time. Anglers and fish-watchers have been patiently waiting the return of the last remaining pier on the Atlantic Ocean south of the Haulover Inlet. I remember that this used to be the family beach, said Rachel Rantell, a South of Fifth resident who grew up in South Florida. My dad used to bring me and my brother to the pier to fish when we were kids. [The pier] is where I learned how to bait a hook. The firm of Atkins, North America has just completed design of the new pier, presented it at a community meeting this summer, and then for the approval of the Design Review Board. Now begins the arduous process of permitting through the various regulatory agencies that have jurisdiction over this coastal structure. The process is expected to take up to a year to complete. The location of this pier is within a Federal Navigation Channel. If the installation of a new pier were to be sought where one had not stood before, it would be unlikely that it could be built today. In the meantime, city officials will seek the construction firm to build the facility to provide another destination activity to the already popular South Pointe Park. Through the community outreach process, including public meetings, city staff received feedback on what residents and visitors wanted from the pier. The design, which telescopes out in a succession of widening platforms 450 feet from the entrance, provides designated areas for fishing and additional areas for those who want to enjoy the view and relax, away from the rods and reels. The pier, just like South Pointe Park, will provide something for everyone. Some areas of the pier will be shaded and there will be seating provided. The pier will stay open in conjunction with park hours, and be lit at night. Turtle-safe lighting, of course, will provide the illumination. If all goes according to schedule, the project, budgeted at $4.5 million, will open two years from now. There is a concerted effort to make this a unique experience, said Parks and Recreation Department Director Kevin Smith. The people-watching is always great on South Beach. But to do it over the water, with a good chance of a cruise ship going by, or spotting a colorful big fish something like that makes a visit to the pier something special.

A BEACON OF ART
Although lighthouses are usually representative of cities by the sea, Miami Beach residents are very aware that usual is not iconic around this vibrant, urban island city. Still, internationally recognized artist Tobias Rehberger is creating a unique lighthouse worthy of Miami Beach iconic tradition. The latest addition to the citys Art in Public Places collection is Rehbergers 55-foot, colorful abstract representation of a lighthouse that will rise out of South Pointe Park. In keeping with the Miami Beach set of mind, the lighthouse is anything but traditional. I would like to give this very special gateway to Miami Beach, a symbol that not only marks the area and greets all the visitors that pass through Government Cut every day by boat but also brings together some of the key attributes the city stands for, explained Rehberger. However, the function of the light is not to guide the ships, but to greet the visitors to the city with cheerful lighting that underlines the lively spirit of Miami Beach.
SOUTH POINTE PARK PLAYGROUND IS NOW OPEN

ALGO NUEvO EN SOUTH POINTE

Miami Beach ha sido siempre sinnimo de olas y arena. Mucha gente viene de todos los lugares del mundo para aprovechar todo lo que las olas marinas tienen para ofrecer. Dentro de poco, los visitantes tendrn la oportunidad de disfrutar observando la vida marina y pescando en el Muelle de South Pointe. En 2004 se consider que el muelle existente, construido en la dcada de los 70, ya haba completado su ciclo de vida til, as que fue cerrado y los planes para su reconstruccin quedaron pendientes. La vieja estructura de 35 aos mostr evidencias de debilitamiento en el hormign y sus varillas estaban oxidadas a consecuencia del bao diario con agua salada. Pescadores y observadores de peces han estado esperando pacientemente la reactivacin del ltimo muelle restante en el Ocano Atlntico al sur de Haulover Inlet. Recuerdo que esta sola ser la playa de la familia, dice Rachel Rantell, residente de South of Fifth, quien creci en el Sur de la Florida. De nios, mi padre sola traernos al muelle a mi hermano y a m, para pescar. [El muelle] fue el lugar donde aprend a colocar una carnada. La firma Atkins North America acaba de terminar el diseo del nuevo muelle. Lo present en una reunin comunitaria este verano y luego lo someti a la aprobacin de la Junta de Revisin de Diseos. La Ciudad ahora puede empezar el arduo proceso de obtencin de permisos de las diversas agencias reguladoras que tienen jurisdiccin en esta estructura costera. Se tiene previsto que el proceso puede durar hasta un ao. Mientras tanto, la Ciudad buscar la firma que estar encargada de construir las instalaciones que se convertirn en otro destino para actividades en el ya popular South Pointe Park. Este muelle est localizado en un Canal de Navegacin Federal [Federal Navigation Channel]. Sera actualmente poco probable poder construir un nuevo muelle si no hubiera uno existente en esa localidad. Para todas las personas involucradas en este proyecto, administrado por la Oficina de Proyectos para Grandes Mejoras, es una feliz oportunidad poder ofrecer nuevamente un lugar favorito de reunin en South Beach. A travs del proceso de proyeccin comunitaria, el cual incluy reuniones pblicas, la Ciudad pudo saber qu esperan del muelle los residentes y visitantes. El diseo, que se despliega desde la entrada en una sucesin de amplias plataformas de 450 pies, tiene reas destinadas para pesca y reas adicionales para quienes desean disfrutar con la vista y relajarse, lejos de caas y carretes.

El muelle, justo como South Pointe Park, ofrecer algo para todos. Algunas reas del muelle tendrn sombra y habr disponibilidad de sillas. El muelle estar abierto segn los horarios del parque y estar iluminado en la noche. La iluminacin, por supuesto, ser de proteccin para las tortugas. Si todo sale segn lo programado, el proyecto, presupuestado en $4.5 millones, estar listo dentro de dos aos. Hay un esfuerzo concertado para que esto sea una experiencia nica, afirma Kevin Smith, director del Departamento de Parques y Recreacin. El pasatiempo de observar a la gente es muy agradable en South Beach. Pero poderlo hacer sobre el agua y tener una buena oportunidad para ver un crucero que pasa o un gran pez lleno de colorido, es algo que convierte la visita al muelle en algo realmente especial.
un FAro ArtstiCo
Aunque los faros usualmente son representativos de ciudades aledaas al mar, los residentes de Miami Beach hasta ahora no los han considerado como iconos de esta vibrante ciudad islea urbana. Sin embargo, el artista Tobas Rehberger, reconocido internacionalmente, est creando el primer faro de Miami Beach. La ltima adicin a la coleccin de Arte en Lugares Pblicos de la Ciudad es una obra de Rehberger, una colorida representacin abstracta de un faro de 55 pies, que ser erigido en South Pointe Park. Acorde con la forma de pensar en Miami Beach, el faro es de todo menos tradicional. Me gustara darle un smbolo a esta puerta de entrada a Miami Beach, que no slo marque el rea y d la bienvenida a todos los visitantes que pasan diariamente navegando por Government Cut, sino que tambin rena algunos de los principales atributos distintivos de la Ciudad, explic Rehberger. Sin embargo, la funcin del faro no es guiar a los barcos sino saludar a los visitantes de la Ciudad con una iluminacin alegre que subraye la fuerza del espritu de Miami Beach.

BREAKING THE
Juan Sanchez Domestic violence does not discriminate. It happens in heterosexual relationships, as well as same sex partnerships no matter size, gender and strength. Although women are widely reported as victims, men and children are also victims of abuse. It can be sexual, physical or emotional, and can leave deep and lasting scars. Domestic violence is used for one purpose: to gain and maintain control over the victim. The abuser never plays fair and typically uses fear, guilt, shame, and/or intimidation. In some cases, the abuser can even threaten to hurt someone the victim cares about, just to maintain their control. Yet, domestic violence is often overlooked, excused or denied.
T vi th A th fr h d

in 2010, more than 10,100 domestic violence related crimes were reported in miami-dade County, ranging from simple assaults to stalking.

incident may result in an arrest. In cases where an arrest is not made by the responding officer, a detective and/or the departments victims advocate, prepared and specially trained to assist victims as needed, will offer help. Remember you are not alone; members of the department are here to help you, explained Chief Carlos Noriega. Recognizing some of the signs of abuse is important. Do you walk on eggshells around your partner before starting a conversation? Does your partner always belittle you or exhibit violent behavior towards you or someone in your family? Does your partner excessively try to control all aspects of your life? While these may not be a clear indication of domestic violence, it is certainly a red flag and worth looking into. But stopping the cycle of domestic violence is often one of the greatest challenges. It is important for the victim to follow through with the case, but this is sometimes the hardest thing to do. Fortunately, Florida law does allow the State to step in and continue with prosecution even if the victim refuses to do so. You have the right to feel safe and respected, especially in your home, added Poux. If you suspect someone you know or love is a victim of abuse, speak up. Dont tell yourself its none of your business. Getting involved sends the message that you care and may save someones life.
The first step in getting help for domestic iolence is recognizing that it is there, said he Miami Beach Police Departments Victims Advocate, Sarah Poux. It is important to know hat over time the abuse may often escalate rom verbal to physical. It is important to get elp before emotional and physiological damage is severe.
Domestic violence is a crime no matter the eason why it happens. The Miami Beach olice actively pursues domestic violence nvestigations, while ensuring the victims safety, providing referrals to appropriate services and arresting the abuser when probable cause xists.
he victims safety is of the upmost priority. All of the Citys officers and detectives are routinely rained on how to respond to calls for help in domestic violence situations. Sometimes the La violencia domstica no discrimina. Ocurre en relaciones heterosexuales y en parejas del mismo sexo, sin importar el tamao, el gnero ni la fortaleza. Aunque las mujeres son ampliamente consideradas las vctimas, los hombres y nios tambin son vctimas de abuso sexual, fsico o emociona. Esto puede dejar cicatrices profundas y duraderas. La violencia domstica se emplea con una intencin: ganar y mantener el control sobre la vctima. El abusador nunca juega limpio y emplea el miedo, la culpa, la vergenza y/o la intimidacin. En algunos casos el abusador puede incluso amenazar con hacerle dao a un ser querido de la vctima, para mantener el control. Aun as, la violencia domstica es frecuentemente pasada por alto, excusada o negada. El primer paso para obtener ayuda es reconocer que si hay violencia, dice Sarah Poux, abogada de la seccin de vctimas Domesticas del Departamento de Polica de Miami Beach. Deber saber que a medida que transcurre el tiempo, es frecuente que el
abuso escale de lo verbal a lo fsico. Busque ayuda antes de que el dao emocional y fsico sean severos. La violencia domstica es un crimen, sea cual sea su causa. La polica de Miami Beach investiga activamente la misma, preserva la seguridad de las vctimas, las refiere a los servicios apropiados y arresta a los abusadores. La seguridad de la vctima es alta prioridad para todos los oficiales de polica y detectives. A ellos se les entrena rutinariamente para que atiendan llamadas de ayuda en situaciones de violencia domstica. A veces el incidente puede ocasionar un arresto, y los profesionales entrenados tambin ofrecen ayuda a las vctimas. Recuerde que usted no est solo o sola; estamos aqu para ayudarle, explica el jefe de polica, Carlos Noriega. Reconozca algunas de las seales de abuso, las cuales constituyen una voz de advertencia y merecen ser revisadas.

Se acerca usted de puntillas a su pareja antes de hablarle? Su pareja lo menosprecia permanentemente o exhibe un comportamiento violento hacia usted o alguien de su familia? Trata su pareja de ejercer control excesivo en su vida? Aunque detener el ciclo de violencia puede ser un desafo, es importante que la vctima contine con el proceso. Las leyes de la Florida permiten que el estado intervenga y contine con la accin judicial aunque la vctima se rehse a hacerlo. Usted tiene derecho a sentirse seguro y respetado en su hogar, aade la abogada Poux. Si sospecha que alguien a quien conoce o ama est siendo vctima de un abuso, no se haga a la idea que no es asunto suyo. Cuando usted se involucra enva un mensaje de apoyo, y puede salvar la vida de alguien.
