    Secure boats or move them to a

    predetermned locaton. Turn o

    gas applances and unplug TVs

    and computers. Place valuables

    n waterproo contaners.

    Also, ll up your vehcle wth

    The Mam Beach

    Conventon Center s long

    overdue or a acelt, whch

    would bolster the ctys poston as

    a major player n an ncreasngly

    compettve meetngs and trade

    show market.

    A complete makeover s estmated

    to brng n approxmately $150

    mllon a year n vstor spendng

    and generate more than 12,000

    jobs durng project constructon

    and 2,300 jobs once complete.

    Ater a decade o talkng about

    revampng the dated Mam Beach

    Conventon Center and more than

    a year o vettng development

    proposals, cty ocals are on

    the verge o movng orward wththe project.

    Ths wll be the sngle most

    mportant nvestment n the hstory

    o Mam Beach, and South

    Florda, sad Mam Beach Cty

    Manager Jmmy L. Morales. So

    ts mportant to get t rght. i we

    do ths rght, t wll promse a

    brght uture or our communty.

    Mam Beach Commssonerschose between two prelmnary,

    cuttng-edge desgns that each

    cost a bllon dollars o publc and

    prvate money. Cty Commson

    selected Tshman South Beach

    ACE as the wnnng team to

    contnue negotatng a term sheet.

    Now that the Commsson

    selected a team, we get to the

    really hard job o sharpenng

    our pencls and negotatng

    leases, development agreements,

    tghtenng constructon and budget

    schedules, Morales sad. That

    wll probably be a 6 to 7month process.

    At the same tme, voters wll

    ace the ultmate decson on

    the uture o the project n a

    publc reerendum.

    Plans to enhance and expand the

    Mam Beach Conventon Center

    last renovated n 1990 have

    been dscussed or years as dated

    technology and amentes have

    kept large conventons away.

    Meanwhle, other major ctes

    in 2012, when Cty Commssoners

    revsted the dea o renovatng

    the Mam Beach Conventon

    Center Dstrct, eght promnent

    developers stepped up or the rst-

    rate opportunty. in November,

    Mam Beach Commssoners

    narrowed down the lst to two

    nalsts, askng Portman-CMC

    and South Beach ACE to drat

    competng plans.

    Both teams submtted plans

    to revtalze the 52-acre ste,

    whch ncorporates the 22-acre

    Conventon Center, Cty Hall and

    nearby oces, area roadways

    and canals, and The Fllmore

    Mam Beach at the Jacke

    Gleason Theater. The dstrct

    would also nclude the nearby

    Lncoln Road Mall, Collns Park

    Cultural Center and the beaches.

    Most aspects are

    qute smlar n

    the team desgns,

    whch gve the

    area an nnovatve,

    contemporary

    twst on standard

    conventon arenas

    complete

    wth a headquarter

    hotel, restaurants,

    shops, cultural and

    communty spaces, parks and

    greenway networks.

    in the past year alone, there have

    been numerous publc meetngs

    and opportuntes or resdents

    to wegh n on the project

    and examne each teams

    prelmnary desgn.

    Mam Beach resdents, toursm

    advocates, busness owners, and

    hotel operators have expressed

    a deluge o support or the

    renovaton plans, whch would

    generate a substantal economc

    mpact to the communty, and the

    entre regon.

    The drect economc mpact to the

    communty s anywhere between

    $750 to $850 mllon durng

    constructon alone, Sklar sad.

    Once the conventon center sopen, were lookng at anywhere

    rom $115 to $150 mllon n

    annual economc mpact. You wll

    have conventon center attendees

    who spend

    $500 per day

    on restaurants

    and retal

    stores. So

    busnesses n

    the communty

    wll benet,

    too.

    Proposed

    undng sources

    or the new Conventon Center

    project nclude $55 mllon rom

    the Mam-Dade County Buldng

    Better Communtes General

    Oblgaton Bonds, the new 1%

    Mam Beach Resort Tax on

    hotel room rentals, project

    generated taxes, and other

    project revenue sources.

    Morales has recommended

    lmtng the amount o prvate

    leases on publc land to 20

    percent so an overwhelmng

    majorty o the dstrct would

    reman under publc ownershp.

    Ths s a crtcal step n our uture

    not just or Mam Beach, but or

    Mam-Dade County and SouthFlorda, whch depends on toursm

    dollars, Morales sad. Thats

    why ts mportant to us that the

    communty come out to the publc

    meetngs and educate themselves

    on the sgncance o ths project.

    A bcyclst aled to

    stop at a stop sgn andcrashed nto the ront bumper

    o a marked patrol car, causng

    the cyclst to be thrown o

    the bke and onto the hood o

    the car.

    Ths ncdent, whch occurred

    last summer, underscores theserous car-cycle collsons

    takng place n the ctys streets

    on any gven day.

    Recent ncdents have gven

    rse to the latest eort by cty

    ocals to educate cyclsts

    and motorsts on the rules othe road or a more peaceul

    co-exstence.

    Were gong to use all

    the resources we can rom

    educatng drvers and cyclsts to

    ncreasng enorcement

    o bcycle saety laws,

    sad Mam Beach AssstantChe o Polce Mark Overton.

    We want to encourage

    motorsts and cyclsts to ollow

    the rules and cross major

    ntersectons saely.

    Some cyclsts do not realze that

    n Florda a bcycle s classedas a vehcle, meanng a cyclst

    must obey the same trac rules

    as motorsts such as comng to

    a complete stop at a stop sgnor red lght. Or, ace a ne.

    Alex Ruz, owner o MamBeach Bcycle Center, whch

    partners wth the Cty or a b-

    weekly Communty Bke

    Rde, sad, a lot o bcyclstsdont realze theyre rdng

    ther bke they need to

    ollow trac laws.

    A lot o tmes motorsts get

    blamed or accdents, butcyclsts need to use maxmum

    cauton, he added. You cantjust run red lghts. That creates

    a dangerous envronment or

    motorsts and cyclsts.

    Lke vehcles, bcycles operated

    under the nfuence o alcohol

    or other controlled substances

    can result n serous punshment.

    Bcyclsts must rde n the same

    drecton as trac and use alane marked or bcycle use

    when avalable. Florda law

    also requres any person under

    the age o 16 to wear a helmet.

    However, whle bcyclsts oten

    are at ault or dsobeyng rules,ts not always the case.

    in late May, a bcyclsttravellng east on Dade

    Boulevard was struck rom

    behnd by a vehcle and

    transported to Ryder TraumaCenter or treatment.

    Motorsts have to aordcyclsts the same rghts,

    Overton sad.

    Flordas Sae Passng Laws

    requre drvers to yeld to

    cyclsts at ntersectons and

    as drected by sgns

    and allow at least threeeet clearance when passng

    a bcyclst on the road.Snce most crashes occur at

    ntersectons, drvers makng

    rght turns should watch out

    or cyclsts to avod accdents.But let turns can be just as

    dangerous, whch s why

    drvers should exercse the

    same cauton as they would orany approachng car.

    in 2010, 618 cyclsts were klledand an addtonal 52,000 were

    njured n motor vehcle traccrashes, accordng to the latest

    avalable gures rom the U.S.Department o Transportatons

    Natonal Hghway Trac

    Saety Admnstraton. O those

    ataltes, 83 occurred

    n Florda.

    Mam Beach records showthere was a total o 82

    accdents nvolvng

    bcycles n the past

    year. Fortunately,none were ataltes.

    Our goal s to make

    the cty as sae aspossble or all o our

    ctzens to move around

    reely and avod as many

    accdents, Overton sad.

    Tips or a smoother, saer ie rie

    Obey all trac control sgnals and sgns.

    Use hand sgnals to ndcate stops and turns.

    Wear a helmet, regardless o the dstance o the trp.

    Always rde n the same drecton as trac and use the urthest rght lane on a roadway a marked lane s not avalable.

    Dont swerve around parked cars or nto the roadway and check or trac beore enternga street or ntersecton.

    Be vsble at nght by wearng brghtly-colored clothng or refectve tape and usng a whteront lght and a red rear lght.

    Make eye contact wth motorsts to make sure theyre payng attenton.

    AdAPTING

    TO RISINGSEAS

    Resdents and vstors are

    drawn to Mam Beachor our clear blue waters, whte

    sandy beaches and brght

    sunny days. However, beng

    surrounded by water also makes

    the cty partcularly vulnerable torsng seas.

    Accordng to projectons

    publshed by the U.S. ArmyCorps o Engneers n 2009,

    scentsts predct local sea

    levels wll rse about three toseven nches over the next 20

    years. These projectons were

    developed usng hstorcal sea

    level data, takng nto accountglobal warmng.

    in the case o South Flordaand Mam Beach, whats really

    encouragng s that nstead o

    respondng to an event, theregon s actually plannngahead, sad Danel Kreeger,

    executve drector o the

    Assocaton o Clmate

    Change Ocers.

    Over the past year, Mam

    Beach has engaged clmate

    change experts n collaboratvedscussons to denty short-

    term and long-term protecton

    measures or the cty and the

    regon. Later ths year, the Cty

    wll host a program calledDutch Dalogues where experts

    rom the Netherlands, local

    unverstes, and Cty sta wll

    have an open dalogue wth thepublc about clmate change

    adaptaton strateges.in order to be better prepared,

    the Cty s desgnng our

    storm water nrastructure to

    accommodate the sea level rse.

    sad cty engneer Rck Saltrck.

    in 2012, Mam Beach adopteda new Stormwater Management

    Master Plan (SWMMP). The

    SWMMP s ntended to be a

    gude or mprovng the ctys

    storm water management

    perormance or the next 20years, wth consderatons o

    potental sea level rse over ths

    tme perod. Mam Beach sthe rst muncpalty that

    has taken sea level rse nto

    consderaton n storm water

    nrastructure desgn.

    The ctys exstng storm water

    system s prmarly gravty drven.However, as sea level rses, the

    storm water system needs to wllrely more on pumps. in addton,

    the Cty s rasng protectve sea

    walls to protect the Cty rom

    hgh tdes mpacts and lookng

    nto addng ran water storageareas to hold water durng

    perods o heavy rans.

    Ths past June, Mam Beach

    was selected as one o eghtctes natonwde to partcpate

    n the Rockeeller Foundaton-unded RE.nvest intatve. The

    RE.nvest intatve s a new

    program that wll help develop

    ourdunesHealthy dunes are a

    crtcal component o

    coastal communtes, servng as

    a habtat or natve plants and

    nsects and a eedng ground

    or mgratory brds. They also

    oer storm protecton to uplandpropertes and reduce the

    mpacts o eroson by trappng

    and stablzng sand.

    Knowledge o ther mportance

    has become more apparent

    n recent years, makng them

    a prorty or habtat

    conservaton ntatves.

    Dunes serve as our rst

    lne o deense aganst stormsurge actng as a buer

    aganst damage caused by

    waves, sad Betsy Wheaton,

    envronmental manager.

    They are vtal to all the

    propertes along the beach.

    Wthout them, they would be

    more lkely to food.

    Because o the mportance o

    our dune system, Mam Beach

    ocals have embarked on an

    eort to restore the dunes and

    educate resdents on the benet

    o protectng these vegetated

    sand rdges.

    Earler ths summer, the Ctys

    Publc Works sta hosted an

    educatonal dune workshop

    and led communty volunteers

    n the removal o non-natve,

    nvasve vegetaton as part o a

    grant-unded project to restore

    the system.

    Coastal sand dunes are

    typcally ormed through naturalprocesses lke wave acton

    and wnd. in Mam Beach,

    the sand dunes were orgnally

    man-made, but have contnued

    to evolve through natural

    processes and now serve the

    same uncton and provde

    the same benets as a

    naturally-ormed

    dune system.

    The ctys dune

    system absorbs

    the energy o

    the waves that

    arse rom hgh

    storm surge. Dune

    vegetaton plays

    a key role, actng

    as a wndbreaker.

    Wthout the

    protecton o the

    dune, the ctys sot

    coastlne would

    rapdly dsappear.

    The Ctys dune

    management

    strategy ncludesremovng non-

    natve nvasve

    speces that

    threaten the growth

    and survval o the

    system and replantng

    natve speces to

    restore the health and

    uncton o the dune. These

    habtat restoraton eorts are

    conducted through volunteer

    events wth local non-prots, lkethe Surrder Foundaton, and

    through compettve restoraton

    and mantenance contracts.

    The plants that wll be removed

    through the next restoraton

    contract are detrmental to the

    system and wll overshadow or

    kll the natve plants that are

    essental to the stablty o the

    dunes, sad Dune Management

    Bologst Rob Barron, who wascontracted to oversee the ctys

    dune management plan.

    Mam Beach wll host two more

    volunteer restoraton events

    and addtonal educatonal

    orums later ths year. Footage

    rom the rst educatonal dune

    workshop s avalable at www.

    mambeachf.gov/green so

    nterestedctzens can learn

    about the hstory and value o

    the Mam Beachs dune and

    beach systems.

    These events are unded n part

    through a grant agreement

    rom the Florda Department

    o Envronmental Protectons

    Florda Coastal Management

    Program and provded by the

    Oce o Ocean and CoastalResource Management.

    Cmo puede ayudar usted aconservar las dunas?

    Todos tenemos un rol esencal que cumplren la proteccn del sstema de dunas.Aunque puedan parecer llamatvas, lasdunas no son un terreno de juego y sonen realdad bastante vulnerables. El pasode transentes por las dunas puede nhbrel crecmento de las plantas, que es vtalpara la establdad del sstema. Por lotanto, evte camnar por las dunas y pdaamablemente a los dems que tampocotransten por ellas. S desea colaborarcomo voluntaro retrando objetos y plantasnvasvas de nuestro sstema de dunas,llame a la cudad al 305.673.7080.

    Dunas saludables son un

    componente undamental

    de las comundades

    costeras, srvendo

    como hbtat para las

    plantas y los nsectos

    natvos y una zona

    de almentacn para

    las aves mgratoras.

    Tambn orecen

    proteccn contra

    tormentas y reducen los

    mpactos de la erosn al

    retener y establzar la arena.

    El conocmento de su

    mportanca ha sdo ms

    evdente en los ltmos aos,

    su creando una prordad

    para conservacn.

    Las dunas son nuestra prmera

    lnea de deensa contra las

    mareas de tormentas, srvendo

    como barrera de proteccn

    contra el dao causado por las

    olas, comenta Betsy Wheaton,

    gerente de medo ambente.

    Son vtales para todas las

    propedades cerca de la

    playa. Sn ellas, el resgo de

    nundacn sera mayor.

    Debdo a la mportanca de

    nuestro sstema de dunas, los

    unconaros de Mam Beach se

    han embarcado en un esuerzo

    para restaurar las dunas y

    educar a los resdentes sobre

    sus benecos.

    A prncpos de este verano,

    el personal de Obras Pblcas

    de la Cudad organz un taller

    de dunas educatvo y drg

    voluntaros de la comundad en

    la elmnacn de la vegetacn

    nvasora con ondos de

    subvencn para restaurar

    el sstema.

    Dunas costeras normalmente

    se orman a travs de procesos

    naturales como la accn de

    las olas y el vento. En Mam

    Beach, las dunas orgnalmente

    ueron hechas a mano, pero

    han do evoluconando a travs

    de procesos naturales y ahora

    srven la msma uncn y

    orecen los msmos benecos

    que un sstema de dunas

    ormado naturalmente.

    El sstema de dunas de la

    Cudad absorbe la energa de

    las olas que surgen de la alta

    marea. Vegetacn de dunas

    juega un papel undamental,

    actuando como una cazadora.

    Sn la proteccn de la duna,

    la costa suave de la cudad se

    desaparecera rpdamente.

    La estratega de gestn de la

    duna de la Cudad requere

    elmnar especes que no son

    natvas y replantar especes

    natvas. Estos esuerzos de

    restauracn se llevan a

    cabo a travs de eventos de

    voluntarado con

    organzacones sn

    undos lucratvos,

    como la Fundacn

    Surrder, y

    tambn a travs

    de contratos

    de restauracn

    compettvos y de

    mantenmento.

    Las plantas que

    van a elmnar son

    danas para el

    sstema y perjudcan o matan

    a las plantas natvas que son

    esencales para la establdad

    de las dunas, explca Rob

    Barron, blogo de gestn de

    dunas, contratado por la cudad

    para supervsar los planes

    de restauracon.

    A nales de este ao, la

    cudad orecer dos eventos

    de restauracn voluntaros

    y talleres educatvos. Las

    mgenes del prmer taller

    educatvo estn dsponble

    en www.mambeachf.gov

    para que los cudadanos

    aprendan la hstora y el valor

    de los sstemas de dunas de

    Mam Beach.

    Estos eventos son en parte

    nancados a travs de un
