msmc.com dear reader We live in a world where staying connected is extremely simple. Computers, tablets, smartphones, and smart watches all place information at your fngertips. We established the “Mayor’s Technology Challenge” in 2016 to improve our residents’ and visitors’ quality of life and communication through innovative technologies. During the fall, we plan to launch our next technology initiative, SIBAlert. SIBAlert will enable citizens to receive emergency notices and warnings from the City. Based on location, we can ensure residents and visitors receive accurate and up-to-date information during critical incidents or emergencies. SIBAlert sends notifcations via a collection of delivery methods including George ‘Bud’ Scholl phone calls, SMS text messages, emails, and a mobile application. Mayor Signing up is quick and easy. I urge all our citizens, both residents and visitors, to visit sibalert.net in the coming months and register for our emergency notifcations. Tese notifcations will help keep you informed and safe in the event of an emergency. Since the announcement of the “Technology Challenge,” we have achieved remarkable technological strides. Our expanded free WiFi coverage allows Dana Goldman Isaac Aelion residents and visitors to stay connected throughout the majority of public Vice Mayor Commissioner areas, recently including all buses in our SIBshuttle service and many locations across the beach through solar units on the lifeguard stands. Soofa benches, which are solar-powered charging stations, keep park-goers fully charged in eight out of our eleven City parks. An electric car charging station in the SIB Government Center parking lot is not only a technological feat, but also a green initiative. Touchscreen kiosks at two premier parks ofer users an Jeanette Gatto Larisa Svechin interactive and fun way to gather information. And the SIB mobile Commissioner Commissioner shuttle application makes our free shuttle bus service more accessible and easy-to-use. Communicating with our residents and visitors is fundamental. We strive to disseminate accurate, relevant, and timely information. With the deluge of information from a variety of sources, you can trust the City of Sunny Isles Beach to tell you what you need to know, when you need to know it. Good communication and good technology are the keys to good government. George ‘Bud’ Scholl Mayor

sibfl.net • fall 2018 9 savvy information City Manager’s Quarterly Report Sunny Isles Beach Coming of Age

Te common defnition for the term coming-of-age is a description of the transition between childhood and adulthood. For some cultures, coming-of- age is determined at a specifc age when a child is no longer a minor. Well, as of this past June, our City is no longer a child, and has entered the early stages of adulthood at the ripe age of 21. Every experience we have gone through as a city over the past 21 years has, in one way or another, helped us to develop the understanding that coming-of-age is really a life-long journey. Tere have been major events and experiences that have played a very important part in our journey to adulthood. For example, there were some growing pains within the frst two years of our existence resulting in a major shakeup in the management of the City. From that point on though, the City was on a sustained, progressive path forward.

Christopher J. Russo Tere was exuberance and pride with the grand opening of Samson Oceanfront City Manager Park. Tere was lively debate over the creation of the City’s Comprehensive Plan, which resulted in unprecedented luxury high-rise development on the east side of Collins Avenue. With the development came remarkable revenues that, in turn, sup- We continue ported the much needed rehabilitation of the City’s infrastructure and the creation of 11 magnifcent parks and many programs. forward thinking Tere were also some sadder moments, including the sudden death of our frst mayor, David Samson, and subsequently some of our other founding mothers and leadership, which fathers. Tere were serious moments involving the perseverance and dedication of the men and women of our then new Police Department cleaning up criminal activity that will keep us ever had developed in our City due to the lack of police presence prior to incorporation. I would be remiss if I didn’t take a moment to remember all the risks that our sworn mindful of past ofcers have taken over the past 20 years to make Sunny Isles Beach one of the safest cities in the state of Florida. Much of this exemplary police work came under the stew- experiences. ardship of our Chief, Fred Maas, who has recently retired after 20 years of service and has been inducted into the Florida Law Enforcement Ofcers’ Hall of Fame. Each one of these experiences, trials, successes, anguishes, and joys has had a signif- cant impact on what the City has become today and has contributed to the achievement of our goal being a world-class city. A major contributing factor to this success has been the continuity in our outstanding professional staf, some of whom have been with our city for many or all of our 21 years. Te benefts from the stability and knowledge of our staf are clearly visible. Tis City has been as much a part of their professional growth as it has been a benefciary of their commitment and dedication to the City.

10 sibfl.net • fall 2018 savvy information

Tere are many examples of staf initiative that I could cite, but the development of our summer camp says it all. A pilot day camp program began the summer of 2000 with 35 children attending; it was a success and was included as a budgeted item in the 2000-2001 Fiscal Year. It has become a thriving multi-program day camp with almost 600 children participating in themed camps each summer. Community engagement and involvement has also grown quicker than a toddler becomes a school-aged student. In the beginning, there were many citizens who volunteered and contributed time and expertise. Tis grew into a more formalized City Advisory Committee, now charged with making recommendations on many issues to the City Commission. Just recently we have had advisory assistance from residents on our Transportation Master Plan and Cultural Master Plan. Our new Public Art Advisory Committee is charged with making recommendations to the City Commission on aspects of public art in our City. As our pop- ulation has grown, so has the general overall interest in city afairs, generating the growth of grassroots groups that have become informally involved in making thoughtful recommendations to the city government from time to time. Under the leadership of our Mayor and sup- port of the Commission, we continue to mature as we enter adulthood. We continue forward thinking leadership, which will keep us ever mindful of past experiences, while learning from the community and inspiring our staf to achieve greater heights.

This past August marked the 10th anniversary of the grand opening of Pelican Community Park, one of the City of Sunny Isles Beach’s beloved and most popular parks. Throughout the last 10 years, the park has undergone remarkable developments, enhancing our departmental offerings and programs. Before, our team consisted of only fve full-time employees and an assortment of part-time seasonal positions, including athletics and camps. We rented space from St. Mary Magdalen Church and Temple B’Nai Zion to house our summer camp, and we set up basketball hoops in the parking lot of the church to run our seasonal basketball program. Now, we have a team consisting of 49 full-time employees, plus more than 40 part-time regular and temporary positions. We are proud of our beautiful facility equipped with a 10,000 square foot gymnasium, which lends itself to numerous activities, including basketball, cheerleading, gymnastics, and volleyball. Our indoor multipurpose space of approximately Tere is much to 5,000 square feet is used for after school programs, summer camp, and celebrate about the recreation programs. One of the most visible features of the park is our Chief Fred Maas Little previous 10 years at League Baseball Field, named after our cherished police chief, Fred Maas, who recently retired in July. This large outdoor space is ideal for children to Pelican Community learn the foundation of baseball skills and techniques, especially through our partnership with North Miami Beach Little League, which offers more Park, and we hope competitive play during the spring. In recent years, the turf feld became home to several other programs, including Field Hockey and FAB (Fun to continue being part Activity Based) Fitness. There is much to celebrate about the previous 10 years at Pelican of your family fun for Community Park, and we hope to continue being part of your family fun for many years to come. many years to come.
