Edelcup IV,/t; <br />March 1,2012 I v I <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />RE: <br /> <br />Resolution opposing the closure of the Eastern Shores fire rescue station <br /> <br />RECOMMEND A TION: <br /> <br />This Resolution is presented for your consideration. <br /> <br />REASONS: <br /> <br />It was reported in today's Miami Herald that Miami-Dade County is closing down the Eastem Shores <br />fire rescue station this Monday, March 5th. Notice of closure of the Eastern Shores fire rescue station <br />was never given to the City of Sunny Isles Beach. The increased demands on Sunny Isles Beach's fire <br />rescue station will endanger the health, safety and welfare of residents of Sunny Isles Beach and North <br />Miami Beach by increasing the time it takes to respond to emergency calls. Additionally, it will <br />completely jeopardize emergency responses to North Miami Beach residents in situations when the <br />bridge located at Sunny Isles Boulevardll63fd Street is up. <br /> <br />Sunny Isles Beach has experienced dramatic increases in its population as a result of increased <br />development. This has resulted in increased demands for essential government services, including <br />emergency fire rescue services. Given these increased demands, the City of Sunny Isles Beach must <br />ensure it continues to provide an adequate level of emergency fire rescue services. <br /> <br />By adopting this Resolution, the City Commission will send a strong message to Miami-Dade County <br />that emergency fire rescue services should not be jeopardized. <br /> <br />Agenda Item .i\:J)"C.
