Town of Surfside Gazette - May 2019 by Town of Surfside

GAZETTE MAY 2019

Message from the Town Manager What kind of community do you want to live in? Mayor Dietch recently presented this question to residents at a Town Commission meeting and at Mayor’s Town Hall meeting held in March. In an effort to find the answer, we will be conducting a Residential Satisfaction Survey and strongly encourage all residents to participate. Stay tuned! The Town of Surfside remains committed to continually enhancing residents’ quality of life through the provision of top-notch services, including five days a week trash collection, free security assessments from the Police Department, ongoing community events, complimentary access to the oceanfront Community Center, enriching programs and much more. By comparison, there are very few cities in Miami-Dade County that provide the robust services that we do in Surfside. That being said, we acknowledge that there are ways for us to still further improve, which is why we want to hear from you. As a reminder, this month is the start of sea turtle nesting season. Surfsiders are passionate about the sea turtles, and with good reason. These unique creatures bring extra charm to our shores. As wonderful as they are, they are also living in a delicate environment. It is important that we do our part to protect them. Save the date for Surfside’s annual Memorial Day Ceremony on Monday, May 27 at 10 am in Veterans Park. At this annual event we honor the brave men and women who sacrificed their lives for our country, in addition to active duty members. See you around Town! - Guillermo Olmedillo, Town Manager

RECEPTICALS TO REDUCE LITTER The Surfside Public Works Department addresses all litter concerns. On an average day, two Public Works personnel pick up litter in the Downtown District and public parking lots. Of all the litter, cigarette butts are one of the most difficult to pick-up. They are small and hide in vegetation and cracks. To combat the excess of cigerette butts disposed improperly, Public Works has installed special recepticals for the collection and recycling of cigerette butts. The recycling units can be found at crosswalks and heavy pedestrian areas. When the receptacles are full, the butts are collected and shipped for proper recycling.

Harris Act Claims. • Adopting a proclamation honoring the importance of trees for the Town of Surfside’s community and environment and encouraging the planting of trees. • Approving an expenditure for purchase of trees from Luke’s Landscaping in connection with the Town’s Tree Giveaway Program; authorizing an expenditure not to exceed $30,250.00. •Urging the State of Florida Governor and the legislature to reject certain proposals providing for a reduction in Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) services for autistic persons by the Agency for Health Care Administration.

Public Works staff reserves the right to refuse residents if the guidelines are not followed. Public works staff will assist but will not handle any incoming materials. Accepted: anti-freeze, household chemicals, fertilizers and pesticides, propane tanks, paint and paint thinner, batteries, pool chemicals and used motor oil. Not Accepted: mercury thermostats/thermometers or anything containing mercury and medicine/pharmaceutical waste. For ammunition of any type, contact Surfside Police at (305) 861-4862. For more information on the hazardous waste drop-off, contact Public Works at (305) 861-4863.

DEALING WITH GRAFFITI COSTS MONEY & TIME The Surfside Public Works Department takes pride in the cleanliness of public facilities and public items such as trash cans, benches and fences. Therefore, when public items get tagged by graffiti it becomes a priority to remove. Sometimes removal methods are time extensive and costly, taking away time from other responsibilities of the Department. If you see new graffiti in Surfside, please report it.

Proclamation For Municipal Clerks Appreciation Week

The Surfside Commission presented a proclamation recognizing May 5 – May 11, 2019 as Municipal Clerks Week, and extending appreciation to the Town’s Municipal Clerk Sandra Novoa, MMC and all municipal clerks for the important services they perform and their exemplary dedication to their communities.

MARCH OFFICER OF THE MONTH - OFFICER JUAN DURAN

Officer Juan Duran was working an off-duty job at Young Israel Congregation and was informed that an elderly woman was choking on her food at the banquet hall. He immediately responded and found that the victim was unresponsive, not breathing and was turning blue. Officer Duran began cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) compressions with the aid of a doctor in the crowd. Miami-Dade Fire Rescue arrived and took over the CPR. The woman began breathing on her own and was transported to Mt. Sinai Hospital for further medical treatment. The swift actions of Officer Duran gave the victim a better chance for a full recovery. Officer Duranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experience and dedication directly benefited the Surfside community. His professionalism, compassion and quick reaction to a life-threatening situation was outstanding. Congratulations to Officer Juan Duran as the recipient of Officer of the Month. Well deserved!

SURFSIDE’S TEEN SCENE ENABLES BEACH-GOERS TO PICK-UP LITTER

Youth from the Parks and Recreation Department’s Teen Scene program installed a Fill-a-Bag station on the beach behind the Community Center. The Fill-a-Bag station teaches beach-goers to make a difference for the environment by picking up trash during trips to the beach. The buckets can be used to collect any debris or trash on the beach and then discarded into nearby trash cans. Buckets should be returned to the station. Surfside’s Teen Scene is for students ages 12-16. The program enables students to work together on fun activities centered on the environment while earning community service hours. They are encouraged to collaborate and help the Town become an even better community. Teen Scene will host several beach clean-ups using the Fill-a-Bag station.

96TH STREET PARK HOSTS CYCLISTS The annual Miami Dolphins Cancer Ride again used Surfside’s 96th Street park as a rest stop for hundreds of cyclists raising money for cancer research.
