TOWN SURFSIDE GAZETTE OF

MARCH 2017

MESSAGE FROM THE TOWN MANAGER

Strength of Surfside Pension Good News for the Town If municipal pension plans were given a grade, the Town of Surfside’s Retirement Plan would earn an A+. In a study conducted by the Leroy Collins Institute of more than 500 Florida Municipalities that manage their own employee pension plans, Surfside is one of only 47 municipal pension plans recognized as top performer and one of nine municipalities in all of Florida that has more than one plan (for both General Employees and Police Officers) with a top grade. For the calendar year 2016, the Town of Surfside Retirement Plan earned $1.8 million or 10.1% (+9.7% net), well ahead of the strategic model (+8.7%) and ranked in the top 2 percent of all plans. This financial stability of the Town’s pension plans ensures that the future of Town employees’ pension is secure. This is also great news for Surfside residents, knowing that tax dollars are being invested with prudent care and professionally managed at the highest level under the leadership of the Pension Board. - Guillermo Olmedillo, Town Manager

Retiring Post Office Employees Recognized

Two long-time employees of the Surfside U.S. Post Office were recognized for their decades of service to the Town and residents upon their retirement. Janet Tylutki-Berg (37 years) and Edlilia Lorraine Jimenez (32 years) received Certificates of Appreciation at the February 16 Commission Meeting. (L-R) Commissioners Michael Karukin and Daniel Gielchinsky, Edlilia Lorraine Jimenez, Janet Tylutki-Berg, Commissioner Tina Paul and Mayor Daniel Dietch.

CODE COMPLIANCE CORNER

Building Permits are Required

Third Thursday Block Party Has Something For Everyone

From dancing and eating dinner to creating your own flower crown, the February 16 Third Thursday at 95th Street and Harding Avenue had a variety of fun for residents, visitors and families. Along with the fresh theme of The Uptown Beachtown, the event also featured a live band, photo booth, raffle prizes and children’s games and activities. Plan now to attend the next event at 7 p.m. on Thursday, March 16.

Planning to build a new house or demolish a building? Adding a room to your existing house, enclose a garage, or make repairs or improvements that involve trade workers? Florida law and Town Codes require that you first apply for and obtain a Town of Surfside Building Permit prior to commencing work. Florida Statute 553.79 states that “it is unlawful for any person, firm, corporation, or governmental entity to construct, erect, alter modify, repair or demolish any building within the state without first obtaining a permit thereof from the appropriate enforcing agency …”

Start the Permit Application Process

Obtain a Town of Surfside Building Permit Application Form, available at Town Hall and on-line: www.townofsurfsidefl.gov. Important: to add, remove or make any changes to any electrical, plumbing, mechanical, structural, or roofing system or components of a structure, you must hire and use a state licensed contractor to co-sign the applicable building permit application and do the permitted work.

Review and Approval Process

• Submit the building permit application with all necessary documents to the Town’s Building Department for an extensive review. • Plans examiners review the application’s description of the scope of the work, the area that the work will be done, and the details of the work to be performed. • If the plans examiners find any problems with the building permit application or its permit plans, then the permit application will be denied. • You will be notified of the denial. • You must revise the plans to make the necessary corrections. • Re-submit the corrected plans for another review to the Building Department.

Final Steps

• When the Building Permit Application and plans are approved, you will be notified to come to the Town’s Building Department to make a payment of the required permit fees. • Upon payment, you or your contractor of record will be issued a permit card which authorizes the commencement of work. • The initial permit card is valid for 180 days from the permit issue date. • Work is expected to commence and continue until the work is completed. • Your contractor will need to call the Building Department periodically to request Town of Surfside inspectors to make in-progress and final inspections of the work. • Failure to call for an inspection within 180 days of commencement of work, or if work is suspended or abandoned for 180 days or more will automatically invalidate the Building Permit. • You must re-apply for a new Building Permit and pay another permit fee if invalidated. For questions regarding the Building Permit Application process, call the Town of Surfside Building Department at (305) 861-4863.
