MESSAGE FROM THE TOWN MANAGER

Just in Time for Arbor Day, Surfside Recognized as a Tree City USA

Thanks to the Town Commission and efforts led by the former and current Public Works Directors and their staff, Surfside recently achieved the distinction of being named a Tree City USA community by the Arbor Day Foundation for 2016. As a Tree City USA participant, Surfside has joined 3,400 communities nation-wide who are committed to managing their public trees and focusing on increasing their tree canopy. The photo below shows our Parks & Recreation’s Teen Scene participants joining in the effort by planting trees for future generations at the Hawthorne Tot Lot and throughout the Town on Arbor Day. Our expanding canopy of trees improves the quality of life in Surfside by trapping dust, absorbing pollutants, cooling the air by providing shade and, of course, beautifying our Town. Later this month, we will be continuing our Memorial Day tradition of honoring those who gave their lives while serving in the United States Armed Forces. I invite you to join us on Monday, May 29 at 10 a.m. at Veterans Park, 8791 Collins Avenue, to take part in this moving ceremony. The event, coordinated by the Parks & Recreation Department, will include special guests and a great show of patriotic spirit. We hope to see you there. - Guillermo Olmedillo, Town Manager

(L-R) Presenting the Tree City USA plaque are Commissioner Michael Karukin, Town Attorney Linda Miller, Public Works Director Randy Stokes, Mayor Daniel Dietch, Commissioners Daniel Gielchinsky and Tina Paul, Vice Mayor Barry Cohen and Town Manager Guillermo Olmedillo.

JOIN US FOR A MEMORIAL DAY CEREMONY MONDAY, MAY 29 • 10 A.M. AT VETERAN’S PARK • 8791 COLLINS AVE

Food, Fun & Music at Third Thursday Finale

The April Third Thursday event continued a tradition of providing residents, families and guests an evening of entertainment, delcious food and fellowship.

CODE COMPLIANCE CORNER

Landscape Requirements

The Townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s landscape requirements encourage the planting of quality landscaping material and aesthetic landscape design. The Town has standards for the installation of landscaping and irrigation systems. All buildings, structures, new developments, redevelopment and change of use requiring a permit obligates the property owner to submit a landscape and irrigation plan with a current property survey to the Building Department. Property owners are responsible for maintaining their landscaping in a manner that presents a healthy, vigorous and neat appearance. All landscaped areas shall be sufficiently fertilized and irrigated to maintain the plant material in a healthy and viable condition. All fertilizer shall be safe and environmentally friendly. Weeds, noxious grasses or underbrush that are in excess of eight inches in height must be cut, removed or re-sodded. Landscaping that is found to be in a state of decline, dead, damaged or missing must be replaced with equivalent landscape material. Shrubs and hedges must be planted and maintained so that such materials do not obstruct clear sight triangle visibility at intersections and driveways, and enable pedestrian and vehicular visibility. Trees, shrubs and hedges should not be planted in front yards in the Townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easement area, which is approximately 6.5 feet from the roadway curbing, with the exception of Surfside Boulevard which is approximately 11 feet from the roadway curbing. Any type of tree abuse or hatracking (topping off) of a tree is prohibited by Surfside and Miami-Dade County Codes. Guidelines for the use of plant material, open spaces, tree planting, removal and relocation and spraying are provided in the Town Codes.

Four Seasons Hotel at the Surf Club Opens for Guests The iconic Surf Club has opened a new chapter in its more than 80 years of history as a glamorous private club located along nine acres of Surfside beach front at 9011 Collins Avenue. A luxurious Four Seasons Hotel and Spa located within the expanded Club and residences is now accepting guests. The famed Italian restaurant Le Sirenuse is also open.

Surfside Cancer Survivor Gives Back to Children Struggling with Treatment

You may have never heard of Buddy Brave, Bestie Brave or Catie Cuddles. But there are hundreds of children and young adults struggling through cancer chemotherapy who have had their lives brightened by these colorful superhero dolls created by long-time Surfside resident Rosanna Hope Bernstein. Herself a leukemia survivor since 1998, Rosanna has recently focused her creative talents in the design and distribution of her Bee Brave Buddies and gifting them to children undergoing chemotherapy in pediatric oncology hospitals nation-wide. This past year, Bee Brave Buddies received nonprofit status and now Rosanna hopes to reach out to even more children. “Any family or friend of a child battling cancer can nominate a child on our website to receive a doll as a gift,” she said. Many of the dolls have gone to children at South Florida hospitals, such as Baptist, Holtz Children’s Hospital, Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital and Broward Children’s Hospital and St. Mary’s in West Palm Beach. “My goal is to provide emotional support to the children. The bald dolls help the children identify with the loss of hair. I have even sent dolls to children of adults

who are fighting cancer.” Rosanna is hoping to expand Bee Brave Buddies to other items, such as blankets and pillows and perhaps a children’s book about cancer treatment. “I know how hard the treatment can be on the body and spirit,” she said. Rosanna and her family have deep roots in Surfside. In 1954, her grandparents built the Biscaya Drive home where she lives. “I had such fond memories of visiting them when I was young. When they passed away, my husband and I bought the house, keeping it in the family.” Rosanna’s husband is an orthopedic doctor on staff at the Veterans Administration Hospital. They have three grown daughters all with ties to South Florida. Anyone interested in supporting Bee Brave Buddies should visit the website, www.beebravebuddies.com. Bee Brave Buddies of the Month can help pay for the shipping of dolls to hospitals caring for sick children. “I’m grateful to give back to others who are experiencing the struggles of cancer,” she said.

POLICE BEAT

Parking Staff Named Civilians of the Month

Parking is a critical issue in Surfside and Parking Operations Manager Elinor Joseph and Parking Enforcement Officers Alain Acosta, Josue Castro, Willie Perez and Hans Smith perform their work in an outstanding manner to ensure parking laws are obeyed by the public. The group manages six municipal parking lots, 37 multi-space pay stations and several electronic single space meters. The Enforcement Officers issue approximately 1,000 parking citations per month and display great professional demeanor in what can be difficult situations. Parking Operations Manager Joseph and his staff have played a role in the pay-by-phone system implementation, business parking permit program, the valet vendor program, the Town overnight parking program and the upgraded pay stations.

(L-R) Lt. John Bambis, Hans Smith, Josue Castro, Elinor Joseph, Willie Perez, Alain Acosta , Chief Allen.

National Public Safety Telecommunications Week National Public Safety Telecommunications Week was April 9â&#x20AC;&#x201C;15, honoring the men and women who answer emergency calls, dispatch emergency professionals and equipment and rendering life-saving assistance to citizens. At the Surfside Police Department, the dedicated communications operators are Susie Sperbeck, Tameka Burnell, Peter Filiberto and Jorge Villar. Chief David Allen, the command staff and the Department honor their service to law enforcement and are grateful for all they do every day.

Their judgment and professionalism resuls in the necessary emergency response. Through their direct interventions, they save countless lives, reduce the potential for

increased injuries and ease the suffering of victims. Dispatchers maintaining a professional demeanor that ensures service is maintained at a high standard, even under difficult circumstances.

Surfside Resident Safety Vest Program The Town of Surfside started a pilot program to offer high-visibility safety vests to make the wearer more visible to motorists. Research has shown that reflective vests will increase safety to pedestrians as they walk near traffic areas or cross streets.

The Surfside Town Commission models the new safety vests.

It is Turtle Nesting Season! Follow These Guidelines When Encountering Sea Turtles If you observe an adult sea turtle or hatchling sea turtle on the beach, follow these rules and guidelines:

• It is normal for sea turtles to be crawling on the beach on summer nights. DO NOT report normal crawling or nesting (digging or laying eggs) to the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWCC) unless the turtle is in a dangerous situation or has wandered off the beach. • Stay away from crawling or nesting sea turtles. Although the urge to observe closely will be great, please resist. Nesting is a critical stage in the sea turtle’s life cycle. Please leave them undisturbed. • DO REPORT all stranded (dead or injured) turtles to the FWCC. • NEVER handle hatchling sea turtles. If you observe hatchlings wandering away from the ocean or the beach, call: 1-888-404-FWCC or *FWC (Mobile Phone)
