continues to attract residents. With the opening of Intracoastal Park, our
9th City Park in Sunny Isles Beach, we are close to fulfilling our goal to
have a park within walking distance for every resident. These open spaces are
not only where children play, they are an integral component to economic
development as well as an investment in the arts and cultural growth of
our community. Parks provide the setting for social events where people

Sunny Isles Beach Living will occasionally include short excerpts from interesting information found
in a variety of locations. These excerpts are considered easily accessible general public information.
©City of Sunny Isles Beach • May 2014
At our Government Center, residents can tend to building
permits, police reports, mail, library services and more
T
he 54,000 square-foot Sunny Isles
Beach Government Center, opened
in January, 2005, is located in a pedestrian friendly area at the heart of the City.
The Government Center presents its
most public expression toward Collins
Avenue and is represented by the
Commission Chamber that is surrounded by a civic plaza combining landscape,
water and contrasting building materials.
This is where the serious business of running the City is conducted. Meetings are
generally held the third Thursday of
each month.
But what is housed inside this vision?
Through inter-governmental partnerships, the first floor is primarily dedicated
to services not under the City’s administration. Through the Federal Government, a satellite branch of the United
States Post Office is open Monday–
Friday. In cooperation with Miami-Dade
County, the Sunny Isles Beach branch
library is open Monday–Saturday and
offers many classes and programs utilizing the City’s meeting room on the first
floor. With support from the Sunny Isles
Beach Tourism and Marketing Council,
the Visitor Center completes the first
floor, offering a wealth of information for
tourists or residents looking to find
“something to do” in South Florida.
The Center also issues SIB Resident ID
Cards for those with a picture ID and
utility bill as proof of residence. Tickets
to Cultural Events may be purchased
there along with branded merchandise
depicting SIB, florida’s riviera or Sunny
Isles Beach, Miami.
The second floor houses the SIB Police
Department which is open 24/7. During
regular business hours, elevators from the
lobby take customers to the 2nd floor.
After hours, the police department can be
accessed via the 2nd level of the parking
garage. Accident and crime reports may
be requested at the records department.
The third floor of the Government
Center is the place for residents, visitors
and contractors to visit and address issues
of code enforcement and parking, apply
for building permits or obtain business
licenses. Fire plan reviews from MiamiDade County are also offered on Tuesdays at this location.
The fourth floor houses the city commission, the offices of the city attorney,
clerk and manager along with human
resources and finance departments.
Constituents may make appointments
to meet with their elected officials over
matters that concern them. Public
record requests are handled here by the
City clerk.

City Manager’s Quarterly Report
Progress Throughout 2014
Developing and Maintaining A World Class City
Sunny Isles Beach living is typically associated with being in paradise.
Residents and visitors alike comment on the beautiful water, the sand on the
beach, our beautiful parks, and the unique and beautiful architecture of this
modern state-of-the-art city which has risen over the past sixteen years. All of
this is achieved through hard work by many in and out of government.
The City has and will continue to build beautiful parks and improve the
infrastructure and streetscape, while the development community continues
to construct state of the art buildings in our City. You may have noticed we
are in another building boom, both from new construction replacing the
remaining old motels, and from City initiated projects on public land. From the
Government, we are proud to announce that by the time you read this article,

Our Gateway Park at the entrance to our City on Sunny Isles Boulevard is

to being completed, particularly the Regalia, Mansions of Acqualina and the
Chateau Beach Development.
There are eleven projects approved and in some phase of the construction

flooding, or loss of utility services.

Pre-register for Emergency Evacuations
Prior to hurricane season, residents who need assistance with daily living, medical
needs, or specialized transportation must pre-register with the Emergency
Evacuation Assistance Program. For applications call: Miami-Dade 311
(305.468.5900), TTY/TDD 305.468.5402. Individuals needing a pet-friendly
Hurricane Evacuation Center (HEC) must also pre-register by calling 311.
For each event the County will announce the HEC that accepts pets.
Hurricane Watches
Residents should follow hurricane watches closely. Even if a hurricane warning or
an evacuation order is not issued, City parks and beaches may be closed due to high
winds. Residents should clear balconies and secure objects in the yard. The MiamiDade County School Board will decide when to close the Norman S. Edelcup SIB
K-8 School. When the public school is closed, the City’s After School Program will
also be closed. The SIB Community Shuttle Bus service will stop running when
sustained winds reach 30 mph. Information regarding City services will be most
current on the web at sibfl.net.
Hurricane Warning
Hurricane warnings are issued 36 hours in advance of anticipated tropical storm force
winds. Residents and visitors must complete storm preparations and immediately
evacuate if directed. A family should take a 72 hour supply of food, water, medications,
and cash to purchase necessary items if the evacuation becomes extended.
Evacuations
If Miami-Dade County gives the order to evacuate Zone B, all visitors in hotels
and residents in condos and single-family homes are required by Florida law to
evacuate. There will be no emergency services available once the island is evacuated.
Try to evacuate to the home of a friend or family member who lives outside of the
evacuation zones. Use a Red Cross Hurricane Evacuation Center (HEC) only as a
last resort. Hotel staff will assist their guests with other accommodations.
Red Cross Hurricane Evacuation Centers & Bus Pickup Locations
When an evacuation order is given, open Hurricane Evacuation Centers (HECs)
will be listed on local radio, television stations and at Miami-Dade County Call
Center at 311 (305.468.5900, TTY/TDD 305.468.5402). Every shelter may not
be open for every event. The County provides free transportation to HECs from
predetermined pickup locations in Sunny Isles Beach:
Arlen House Condominiums, 158 Street & Collins Avenue
Winston Towers, 100 & 400 Buildings on 174 Street
Golden Shores Area, 189 Street & Collins Avenue
Ocean View Condominiums, 19300 Collins Avenue
tends to contribute to the benefit of all.
Recently I had the opportunity to reflect on our years working together with
a resident. She mentioned the good communication that we have between
us. An avid reader of the Sunny Isles Beach Sun, SIB Islander and Living, she
has also registered for our e-mail notifications, has our phone number on
speed dial and visits our website often. So of course she was ecstatic to hear
that the City has launched a social media program. She was one of the first
to like us on Facebook and retweeted our first twitter post.
Who has time for that? Someone who is connected to the community,
cares about where she lives and wants to be sure she is getting correct
information.
She is committed to do her part to ensure her children are raised in a
community that she is proud of. She is always grateful to be ‘in the know’.
Knowledge is power. Whether it is as simple as getting your wristband

Everything About
QUALITY OF L I FE
Once visitors find this wonderful vacation spot
that we call home, they return again and again.
Sometimes, the visitors become residents, drawn by
the walkable space, the family-friendly atmosphere
and the plethora of outdoor activities.
T
he quality of life is enhanced by
many factors such as high-end
homes, conveniently located retail
stores, a variety of community and
recreational programs, a complimentary shuttle bus service, and an
active senior population. These, as
well as the award winning Police
Department, our A-rated schools
and quality healthcare, are important
factors that draw buyers to purchase
here in Sunny Isles Beach.
As you can see, the city offers a
variety of quality community and recreational programs. Working closely
with the schools and other community organizations, we believe in
developing the entire student: mind,
body and soul. The City’s High
School Graduates College Scholarship Program encourages students
to continue to a University after
high school.
Education
The following public schools are
available to Sunny Isles Beach
students as well as several private

Visitors from around the world come to Sunny Isles Beach to enjoy
the weather, our beautiful beaches and the ocean. Our guests–much
like our residents–especially our children, enjoy swimming in the
ocean. No one wants to swim in polluted water. And polluting our
water is against the law.
“Our responsibility for clean water begins at home…continues in the workplace…
and the public spaces we enjoy.”
Compliance
The EPA conducts yearly reviews of the city’s efforts and results in
preventing stormwater pollution. It is everyone’s responsibility to
keep the waters clean.
Water
Rain water makes everything fresh and clean including our streets.
And after a heavy rain, stormwater in our streets rushes into storm
drains. These storm drains are important in providing a place for
stormwater to go and help prevent our streets from flooding. But it
isn’t only rain water that rushes into storm drains.
Stormwater Pollution
Say “pollution” and many people think of a factory pipe spewing
pollutants. The federal Clean Water Act and similar state laws
MAIN STORMWATER
POLLUTANTS
DO THE RIGHT THING
1
LITTER: Cans, paper and
plastic bags and cigarette
butts.
Put these in garbage bags; recycle
when possible.
2
CHEMICALS: Detergents,
automotive fluids and
fertilizers.
Dispose of these according to
container and local laws. Use
earth-friendly products.
3
ORGANIC WASTE: Leaves,
lawn and garden clippings
and animal excrement.
Bag it or compost it.
limit this type of pollution. Today, we know that even neighborhoods without factories add pollutants to our water. How? In
urban areas, like Sunny Isles Beach, stormwater carries with it
everything from our modern, urban lives, including cigarette butts,
litter, lawn chemicals, pet waste, grease and motor oil. Everything
that goes into storm drains impacts our oceans, canals and lakes.

For the most part, water entering storm drains, unlike water entering sanitary sewers, does not get treated before entering Biscayne
Bay, the Intracoastal Waterway, the Atlantic Ocean, and our canals,
rivers and lakes.
Impact of Stormwater Pollution
Polluted stormwater draining into our waterways is harmful to plants
and animals. There are three main types of stormwater pollutants that
impact marine life as follows: litter, chemicals and organic waste.
Collection Centers
Miami-Dade County has Permanent Home Chemical Collection
Centers that accept oil-based paints, the liquid form of latex paints,
pesticides, solvents, pool chemicals, unbroken fluorescent light
bulbs and other household items. The centers are free and available
to non-commercial residents only. The centers are located in west
Dade and south Dade. For specific questions regarding waste disposal, call Miami-Dade County’s Answer Center at 311. To report
stormwater violations of an immediate nature, call the Complaint
Desk 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 305.372.6955.
Residents can also report illegal dumping to the City of Sunny
Isles Beach Public Works Department at 305.792.1711 during
business hours, Monday to Friday 8:30 am to 5:00 pm.
