Friday, October 12, 2018 45 of 55 Boards and Committees Current Members Resiliency Communications Committee Resolution No. 2017-30104 Composition: The goals of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) are to provide flood insurance to property owners, to encourage flood loss reduction activities by communities, and to save taxpayers' money.
The City of Miami Beach participates in the NFIP and the Community Rating System (CRS). The CRS is a voluntary program that provides both incentives and tools to further these goals.
Participation in the CRS saves residents money by reducing flood insurance premiums.
The City’s Program for Public Information (PPI) will help provide activity points to improve the City's CRS score, which in turn helps to reduce flood insurance premiums, and complements communications efforts for our Miami Beach Rising Above Resiliency Strategy.
An ad hoc Resiliency Communications Committee was created per Resolution 2016-29585 to serve as a PPI Committee and said Committee sunsetted on October 1, 2017; therefore, a new PPI Committee should be created in order for the City to participate in the CRS.
A Program for Public Information (PPI) was developed by the prior ad hoc PPI Committee according to a seven-step planning and public involvement process defined by the Community Rating System Program and the PPI was adopted by the City Commission per Resolution 2017-29771.
Membership criteria for a PPI Committee is specified by the Community Rating System and must include: real estate agent(s), insurance agent(s), banking industry representative(s), the City’s Floodplain Manager, and a Communications Department representative, and at least half of the Committee’s members must be from outside the local government.
An evaluation report is prepared annually by a PPI Committee and submitted to the City Commission.
The new Program for Public Information (PPI) Committee created by this Resolution will be again be referred to as the Resiliency Communications Committee in order to be in alignment with the Miami Beach Rising Above Resiliency Strategy.
The members of the the new ad hoc, advisory PPI Committee, known as the Resiliency Communication Committee, shall be as follows: the City's Communications Director; the City's Floodplain Manager; Scott Diffenderfer, a real estate agent; Carlos Gutierrez, a real estate agent; Alan Randolph, a local bank representative; and, John Lee, a local insurance agent.
The terms of the membership on the new ad hoc Resiliency Communications Committee shall commence on January 1, 2018, and expire on December 31, 2018, subject to earlier or later sunset by the City Commission.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT DULY RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, that an ad hoc, advisory Resiliency Communications Committee is hereby created as set forth herein with members whose terms shall commence on January 1, 2018 and expire on December 31, 2018, subject to later or earlier sunset by the City Commission.
