Local Issue #3-lntergovernmental Coordination- Coordinate with Miami-Dade County School Board regarding school facility planning and Increase intergovernmental coordination with adjacent local governments. Define/Describe the Issue. How does the past compare to the present with respect to the issue? How was the issue treated in the existing plan? Although there are no schools within the city limits of Sunny Isles Beach, a major issue identified by the City is better facility planning coordination between the municipality and the Miami-Dade County School Board. Two contiguous parcels of land on the west side of the City have been identified as a possible school site. The City has been working with the School Board to address the needs of Sunny Isles Beach's growing school population by constructing a school in the immediate future. The City is aware of new legislation, Senate Bill 360 (changes to the Growth Management Act), which provides requirements for counties and municipalities with respect to the public school facilities element, revises the requirements for the public schools interlocal agreement (163.3177, F.S.), and requires school concurrency by December 2008. The City has entered into the Public School Interlocal Agreement with the Miami-Dade School Board. The Agreement calls for coordination regarding school site and facilities planning as required by Section 163.3177, F.S. As for increased coordination of the impacts of development within adjacent local governments, Sunny Isles Beach residents worry that development in adjacent municipalities is negatively impacting their quality of life (e.g., traffic congestion, pedestrian safety). Although the City's Plan contains specific policies and direction in the Intergovernmental Coordination Element (ICE), residents feel the City has not been consulted regarding significant proposed development in adjacent municipalities. The City is very interested in better carrying out the provisions of the Plan-- working together with the county and adjacent jurisdictions will result in resolving regional growth management issues of mutual interest. Identify the impacts of the issue Assess whether the objectives of the plan that relate to the issue have been achieved. List the objectives in each element of the plan that relate to the issue (matrix format is recommended) The objectives of the Plan impacted by this issue include, but are not limited to, the Future Land Use Element, ICE, Transportation and Infrastructure. Discuss whether there have been changes in circumstances that were not anticipated. Discuss whether these changes resulted in either problems or opportunities for the community. Identify actions, including plan amendments that are needed to address the issue. The City should proactively continue to work with neighboring jurisdictions in light of development pressures and changing demographics of the County/region.
