City of Sunny Isles Beach
Adopted Water Supply Plan
June 1, 2009
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the City of Sunny Isles Beach 10-Year Water Supply Facilities Work
Plan is to identify and plan for the water supply sources and facilities needed to serve
existing and new development within the local government's jurisdiction. Chapter 163,
Part II, F.S., requires local governments to prepare and adopt Work Plans into their
comprehensive plans within 18 months after the water management district approves a
regional water supply plan or its update. The City of Sunny Isles Beach is located in the
South Florida Water Management District region in southeast Florida (Figure 1). The
Lower East Coast Water Supply Plan Update was approved by the South Florida Water
Management District (SFWMD) on February 15, 2007.
The City of North Miami Beach (NMB Utility) is the designated supplier of potable water
for portions of northeast Miami-Dade County, including the City of Sunny Isles Beach
(Figure 2). In that capacity, North Miami Beach supplies the City's residential and
commercial customers with potable water on a retail basis. The NMB Utility received
Water Use Permit No. REISSUE 13-00060-W from SFWMD on August 9, 2007. The
permit, allows the Utility to withdraw 14,009 mg average annual raw groundwater.
The City recognizes that in order to maintain a water supply system and conservation
program there must be effective coordination with NMB Utility. Sunny Isles Beach
enjoys an excellent working relationship with NMB Utility in ensuring compliance with all
regulations and guidelines. In accordance with the service agreement, Sunny Isles
Beach staff coordinates with NMB Utility to ensure enough capacity is available for
existing and future customers and supporting infrastructure is adequately maintained.
As part of established intergovernmental coordination efforts, the Work Plan was
developed in coordination with the North Miami Beach 10-Year Water Supply Work
Plan, adopted October 7, 2008, and the Miami-Dade Water Supplies Facilities Work
Plan, adopted April 24, 2008 (Notice of Intent published July 18, 2008). According to
state guidelines, the Work Plan and the comprehensive plan amendment must address
the development of traditional and alternative water supplies, bulk sales agreements
and conservation and reuse programs that are necessary to serve existing and new
development for at least a 10-year planning period. In order to ensure consistency with
adopted regional, county, and city planning efforts, the Work Plan will coordinate its
planning efforts with the water supply work plans adopted by the City of North Miami
Beach 1 O-year Work Plan, Miami-Dade County and SFWMD 20-Year Work Plans.
The City's Work Plan is divided into six sections:
Section 1 - Introduction
Section 2 - Background Information
Section 3 - Data and Analysis
Section 4 - Intergovernmental Coordination
Section 5 - Work Plan Projects/Capital Improvement Element/Schedule
Section 6 - Goals, Objectives, Policies
Introduction

City of Sunny Isles Beach
Adopted Water Supply Plan
June 1, 2009
1.1 Statutory History
The Florida Legislature has enacted bills in the 2002, 2004, and 2005 sessions to
address the state's water supply needs. These bills, especially Senate Bills 360 and
444 (2005 legislative session), significantly changed Chapter 163 and 373 Florida
Statutes (F.S.) by strengthening the statutory links between the regional water supply
plans prepared by the water management districts and the comprehensive plans
prepared by local governments. In addition, these bills established the basis for
improving coordination between the local land use planning and water supply planning.
1.2 Statutory Requirements
Each local government must comply with the following requirements:
1. Coordinate appropriate aspects of its comprehensive plan with the appropriate
water management district's regional water supply plan, [163.3177(4)(a), F.S.]
2. Ensure that its future land use plan is based upon availability of adequate water
supplies and public facilities and services [s.163.3177(6)(a), F.S., effective July
1, 2005]. Data and analysis demonstrating that adequate water supplies and
associated public facilities will be available to meet projected growth demands
must accompany all proposed Future Land Use Map amendments submitted to
the Department for review. The submitted package must also include an
amendment to the Capital Improvements Element, if necessary, to demonstrate
that adequate public facilities will be available to serve the proposed Future Land
Use Map modification.
3. Ensure that adequate water supplies and facilities are available to serve new
development no later than the date on which the local government anticipates
issuing a certificate of occupancy and consult with the applicable water supplier
prior to approving building permit, to determine whether adequate water supplies
will be available to serve the development by the anticipated issuance date of the
certificate of occupancy [s.163.3180 (2)(a), F.S., effective July 1, 2005]. This
"water supply concurrency" is now in effect, and local governments should be
complying with the requirement for all new development proposals. In addition,
local governments should update their comprehensive plans and land
development regulations as soon as possible to address these statutory
requirements. The latest point at which the comprehensive plan must be revised
to reflect the concurrency requirements is at the time the local government
adopts plan amendments to implement the recommendations of the Evaluation
and Appraisal Report (EAR).
4. For local governments subject to a regional water supply plan, revise the General
Sanitary Sewer, Solid Waste, Drainage, Potable Water, and Natural Groundwater
Aquifer Recharge Element (the "Infrastructure Element"), within 18 months after
the water management district approves an updated regional water supply plan,
to:

City of Sunny Isles Beach
Adopted Water Supply Plan
June 1, 2009
2.0 BACKGROUND INFORMATION
2.1 Overview
The City of Sunny Isles Beach, the city of sun and sea, is a municipality of 26,026
residents (Table 1). Encompassing 2.63 square miles, Sunny Isles Beach is located on
a barrier island in the northeast corner of Miami-Dade County. The City is bounded by
the Atlantic Ocean to the east, the Town of Golden Beach to the north, unincorporated
Miami-Dade County to the south, and the Cities of North Miami Beach and Aventura to
the west. The City recently celebrated its tenth-anniversary, having incorporated on
June 16, 1997.
The City's convenient location-halfway between the major metropolitan centers of
Miami to the south and Ft Lauderdale to the north-attracts nearly one million
vacationers each year. Visitors and residents alike are attracted by the City's two-mile
long fine-sand beach and water-based outdoor activities such as water sports, boating,
and fishing. The City's historic Newport Fishing Pier (Sunny Isles Fishing Pier) is a local
favorite while Samson Oceanfront Park provides a children's play area, and space to
relax, socialize, and view the ocean sunrise.
Originally developed as a tourist resort in 1920 by land investor Harvey Graves in 1920,
the City was designed to be the "Venice of America". Developers transformed the
sleepy beach into a desirable beach front community with islands, canals, inlets, and
water front properties that faced the Biscayne Bay and Intracoastal Waterway. The City
grew steadily through the later part of the 1900's as the area became known as a beach
playground for the rich and famous.
Today the area boasts a diverse housing stock with three distinct single-family
neighborhoods, a variety of new and redeveloped luxury water front condominiums, and
visitor based motels and hotels. The City's zoning laws ensure view corridors and
beach access pathways. Redevelopment of the City's older condominium and hotel
properties are being supported by City efforts to build parks and a community center,
provide a foundation of supportive City services, regulations, and systems, and improve
the utility infrastructure - including potable water.
According to population data the NMB Utility derived from Miami-Dade County Planning
and Zoning Department based on information from BEBR, the City's estimated
population in 2008 is 26,026, up from 19,832 in 2000. By 2018 the Utility projects the
population to increase to 34.625 in 2018 and 44,688.
It should be noted that the NMB Utility's population projections differ from the
projections from the Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing as reported in the City's
2005 Evaluation and Appraisal Report. The Shimberg Center projected a 2010
population of 17,648 and 2025 population of 21,784. This is due to a difference in
methodology used to determine the population projections, with the Utility factoring the
maximum density possible. Since this Water Plan utilizes the water supply calculations
Background

City of Sunny Isles Beach
Adopted Water Supply Plan
June 1, 2009
made in accordance with the Utility's population projections, the Water Plan utilizes the
higher NMB Utility projections. However, since the City is built out and the only new
population will result from infill and redevelopment efforts, the City does not believe the
higher NMB Utility projections will be attained. Despite this difference in population
projections, the report finds that there will be sufficient water supply to meet the current
and future needs of its residents.
As shown in Figure 3, the water distribution service area for the City is managed and
operated by the City of North Miami Beach and includes portions of the Cities of
Aventura, Miami Gardens, and unincorporated Miami-Dade County as well as the Cities
of North Miami Beach and Sunny Isles Beach, and Town of Golden Beach.
Sunny Isles Beach economy is driven by consumer driven industries such as the
hospitality (1,285 employees or 43% of all employees employed in Sunny Isles Beach),
retail (650 or 22%), and real estate (325 or 11 %). These industries employ more
individuals than all other industry sectors combined. Sunny Isles Beach is also one of
the most diverse cities in the County and State. In addition to these three dominant
consumer driven industries, Sunny Isles Beach also boasts a diverse array of small
businesses. These small businesses include professional and technical businesses (50
businesses), health care services (35), and wholesale trade operations (32). The
diversity of small businesses balances the dominance of the employment sector by
consumer driven industries.
The Sunny Isles Beach City Charter provides for a City Commission that is vested with
all legislative powers of the City. The Mayor and four commissioners are elected at-
large to serve four-year terms. Each year the members of the Commission elect one of
the Commissioners to serve as Vice-Mayor for a period of one year. Each of the four
commissioners is elected to represent four designated residential areas.
2.2 Relevant Regional Issues
As the state agency responsible for water supply in the Lower East Coast planning
area, the SFWMD plays a pivotal role in resource protection, through criteria used for
Consumptive Use Permitting. As pressure increased on the Everglades ecosystem
resource, the Governing Board initiated rule making to limit increased allocations
dependent on the Everglades system. As a result, the Regional Water Availability Rule
was adopted by the Governing Board on February 15, 2007 as part of the SFWMD's
water use permit program. This reduced reliance on the regional system for future water
supply needs, mandates the development of alternative water supplies, and increasing
conservation and reuse.

3.0 DATA AND ANALYSIS
The intent of the data and analysis section of the Work Plan is to describe the
information that local governments need to provide to state planning and regulatory
agencies as part of their proposed comprehensive plan amendments, particularly those
that would change the Future Land Use Map to increase density and/or intensity.
3.1 Sunny Isles Beach Population Information
Existing and future population data for the City of Sunny Isles Beach was derived from
Miami-Dade County Planning and Zoning Department and BEBR through the NMB
Utility. The projections utilize transportation analysis zones to determine future
population increase projections (TableS 1 and 2). According to these projections, the
City of Sunny Isles Beach is expected to increase its population by 47%.

City of Sunny Isles Beach
Adopted Water Supply Plan
June 1, 2009
As discussed in the Overview section, these NMB Utility's population projections differ
from the projections from the Shimberg Center for Affordable Housing as reported in the
City's 2005 Evaluation and Appraisal Report. The Shimberg Center projected a 2010
population of 17,648 and 2025 population of 21,784. This difference is due to different
methodologies used to determine the population projections, with the Utility factoring the
maximum density possible.
While, as reported in the EAR, the City is built out, the only new population will result
from infill and redevelopment efforts. As a result, the City does not believe the higher
NMB Utility projections will be attained. However, since this Water Plan utilizes the
water supply calculations made in accordance with the Utility's population projections,
the Water Plan utilizes the higher NMB Utility projections. Regardless of this difference,
the City of Sunny Isles 1 O-year Water Plan finds that there will be sufficient water supply
to meet the current and future needs of its residents.
The NMB Utility, as part of its analysis of water supply demand, adjusted BEBR
population projections, as shown in Tables 1 and 2, in order to account for known and
projected development activities. The adjusted population data is shown in Table 3.
The result of this adjustment is that the NMB Utility determined that development
activities would contribute an additional 19,899 residents, a 16% increase over that
projected by BEBR.

3.2.4 level of Service Analysis
According to the City of North Miami Beach Comprehensive Plan Infrastructure Element
adopted April 21, 1998, the level of service for the City of North Miami Beach is 150
gallons of potable water per person per day (gpd) for the entire system. However, due
to the NMB Utility's effective conservation efforts, the City is changing its LOS to
144gpd. North Miami Beach attempts to maintain a water pressure of 40 pounds per
square inch (psi) although 20 psi is the legal minimum.
The City of Sunny Isles Beach Evaluation and Appraisal Report recommends that, as
part of its intergovernmental coordination efforts with the City of North Miami Beach, it
also maintains a potable level of service standard of 144 gpd. Additionally the EAR
recommends that future comprehensive plan efforts be compatible with the City of North
Miami Beach Comprehensive plan and consistent with the NMB established potable
water level of service standard.
3.3 North Miami Beach Utility Water System
NMB Utility is a regional water and wastewater utility that furnishes potable water
service for a variety of residential, commercial, and industrial customers in northeast
Miami-Dade County. The Authority's service area, which covers approximately 28
square miles, consists of certain unincorporated areas of Miami-Dade County, and the
incorporated areas of the Cities of Aventura, Miami Gardens, and Sunny Isles Beach
and Town of Golden Beach. The NMB Utility owns, operates, and maintains both
separate and interconnected potable systems to meet regional potable water supply
needs.
3.3.1 Interconnected Distribution Resources
NMB Utility services the Utility's customers by utilizing potable water from its own water
treatment plants and purchased treated bulk water from the Miami-Dade Water and
Sewer Department (MDWASD). As shown in Table 9, the Utility's eight interconnection
sites provide benefits to both parties as they provide for pressure sustaining valves
(PSV's), emergency connections, and/or control valves (CV's) that can be used to add
water into the storage tanks at the Norwood-Oeffler Water Treatment Plant or
Operations Center.

some the interconnections to be reconfigured to manually provide emergency service back to
MDWASD.
3. CV indicates that interconnection has been equipped with a control valve that open to help fill a North
Miami Beach Storage Tank.
3.3.2 North Miami Beach Utility Water Facilities
In addition to these interconnection sites, the NMB Utility owns, operates, and maintains
a highly efficient and effective potable water system. This system consists of raw water
wellfields (both traditional and alternative), the Norwood-Oettler Water Treatment Plant,
four storage tanks, high-capacity, high-service pumps, pipeline interconnections, and
approximately 541 miles of water transmission and distribution pipelines.
3.3.3 Norwood-OeHler Water Treatment Plant
The City of North Miami Beach owns the Norwood-Oettler Water Treatment Plan (WTP)
which was built in 1953 to care for the area's potable water needs. The WTP uses
twenty (20) Biscayne Aquifer and Floridan wells to meet its water supply needs. The
Biscayne Aquifer wells are used for both lime softening and nano-filtration (NF)
treatment processes. The Floridan Aquifer wells are used for reverse osmosis (RO)
treatment processes (Figure 4.).
Biscavne Aquifer Well
Sixteen (16) municipal water supply wells have been constructed into the Biscayne
Aquifer. Eleven (11) of the Biscayne Aquifer wells are used only for the lime softening
treatment process. Table 10 describes the capacity for the 11 Biscayne Aquifer wells
utilized in the lime softening process. The other five (5) Biscayne Aquifer wells were
constructed in 2003-2004 primarily for the NF treatment processes. Table 11 shows the
capacity and design characteristics of the five Biscayne Aquifer wells utilized for the NF
treatment processes.

Floridan Aquifer Well
Four (4) municipal water supply wells have been constructed into the Floridan Aquifer
for use in the RO treatment process. The wells pump raw water from the Aquifer
directly to the membrane process building for pre-treatment prior to arriving at the low-
pressure RO treatment facilities. According to the NMB Utility Water Supply Plan, each
raw water supply well will supply sufficient raw water capacity for operation of one low-
pressure membrane skid, plus additional capacity to blend some raw water from the
Floridan Aquifer. Table 12 shows the capacity of the four Floridan Aquifer wells.

WTP System Uoqrades
Since the age of these wells vary widely from as old as 1953 to 2004, the NMB Utility
has been actively working to update its potable water resources. Particular emphasis
has been placed on raw water supply mains and increased WTP capacity ability.
The WTP is currently undergoing an extensive upgrade and expansion. As part of
Phase I of this project, the facility expanded its capacity by adding a new member
treatment process. According to the NMB Utility Work Plan, the expanded facility's
capacity is 32.0 mgd. The existing and refurbished lime softening facility accounts for
32.0 mgd, a new NF facility has 9.0 mgd, a new low pressure RO facility has 6.0 mgd,
and a filtered raw water blend accounts for 2.0 mgd. Future expansions of an
additional 6.5 mgd are available from the additional of a RO membrane treatment skid
and additional RO vessels plus associated pre- and post- treatment equipment. The
final total from this effort will be 38.5 mgd.
3.3.4 Water Storage Facilities
The NMB Utillity has four above-ground (ground level) tanks that store 10.5 million
gallons (MG) of finished water. Two of the tanks (5 MG and 2 MG) store finished water
which is awaiting to be pumped into the Utility's water transmission and distribution
system. A third tank (2 MG) is located at the Operations Center. The fourth tank (1.5
MG) is not in service.
3.3.5 Water Transmission and Distribution Pipelines
The NMB Utility continually upgrades and improves it water transmission and
distribution system. The system consists of 2.86 million feet or 541 miles of water main
lines that range in size from 2 inches to 36 inches in diameter. Table 13 provides a
breakdown of this system.

3.3.6 Additional Water Infrastructure Resources
In addition to the Biscayne and Floridan Aquifer wells, the WTP has standby
generational facilities with dual grid sources from Florida Power and Light (FPL). These
additional water infrastructure resources include 1) a membrane concentrate disposal
deep injection well, 2) a degasification and odor control system, and 3) a system of high
service pumps. A description of each these resources follows:
. Membrane Concentrate Disposal Deep Iniection Well. Membrane concentrate
that results from the water treatment process is disposed of by a new deep
injection well system. The well, which consists of one 14.5 inch I.D. Class I
injection well, one 6 inch dual zoning monitoring well, and one booster pump
stations, has a capacity of 7.4 mgd.
. Post Treatments Structure - Deaasification and Odor Control Svstem. Post
membrane permeate treatment is take care of by two degasifiers and two odor
control systems. The degasifier system removes hydrogen sulfide and carbon
dioxide and stabilizes the permeate. Each odor control scrubber system has a
rated air flow capacity of 39,000 cfm and hydrogen sulfide removal efficiency of
greater than 98%,
. Hiah Service Pumps. There are 11 high service pumps that service the WTP.
Eight of the pumps were existing prior to the recent plant expansions and one of
these is no longer in service. Three additional pumps were constructed to meet
the water plant's increased capacity. The total capacity of the 10 working pumps
is 44,300 gpm. With the largest pump out of service, the total high service
pumping capacity is 53 mgd at 75 psi.

3.5 Conservation
As shown in the North Miami Beach Water Supply Plan, the NMB Utility recognizes the
intrinsic link between water quality, water availability, and water conservation for both
human and natural populations. In order to support this link and promote the
sustainable use of potable water resources, in 1999 the NMB Utility worked
collaboratively with the SFWMD to develop an effective water conservation program
which included a combination of educational, financial, operational, and regulatory
initiatives. Additionally the Utility works with its local, regional and state partners to
support other water conservation initiatives including protection of vital natural
resources and ecosystems, water demand management, regional water storage,
reduction of raw and treated water losses, and alternative supply or offsetting of water
usage. The results of these efforts have effectively reduced the Utility's water usage as
it went down from an average use of greater than 150 gpcpd to 144 gpcpd (Tables 7
and 8).
Specific operational resources utilized as part of this comprehensive conservation effort
include:
Prevention of undue water loss by:
o Tracking non-revenue water.
o Accurately meter water and preventing backflow into the system.
o Utilizing leak detection instruments.
Improve and maintain water quality by:
Data and Analysis
16
City of Sunny Isles Beach
Adopted Water Supply Plan

o Employing five Hydro Flushers.
Promotion of personal water conservation by:
o Utilizing a tiered conservation-based rate structure.
o Supporting the County's and SFWMD's landscape irrigation practices and
policies.
o Exercising water restrictions as needed to address severe water supply
issues.
o Enforcing Florida Building Code requirements regarding water-efficient
water fixtures and plumbing devices in building construction.
o Implementing proactive education, outreach, and demonstration projects
which teach, support, and encourage the public to exercise effective water
conservation in their homes and businesses.
o Promoting the use of low-flow water fixtures through showerhead
exchange and reduced fixture cost programs.
o Encouraging xeriscaping and low-water water irrigation practices.
o Actively teaching the community about water conservation through public
speaking outreach.
Additionally, the City Ordinance 02008-298 Water Restrictions addresses the City's
commitment to protecting valuable water resources and supporting the water practices
of the City's local and regional water partners. The ordinance establishes the City's
commitment to providing sufficient water resources to its businesses and residents,
particularly during the times of water shortages in order to minimize the harmful effects
of over utilization of water resources.
3.6 Reuse
Currently, reclaimed water is currently not available to the NMB Utility from MDWASD
NMB Utility continues to have discussions with Miami-Dade and SFWMD regarding the
potential use of reclaimed water in the future. Additionally, NMB Utility has studied and
will continue to study the best alternatives for providing reclaimed water resources to its
customers, including those in Sunny Isles Beach. Until such resources become
available, reclaimed wastewater will not be promoted.
3.6.1 Regional and County-wide Reuse Issues
State law supports reuse efforts. For the past number of years, Florida's utilities, local
governments, and water management districts have led the nation in implementing
water reuse programs that increase the quantity of reclaimed water used and public
acceptance of reuse programs. Section 373.250(1) F.S. provides that "water reuse
programs designed and operated in compliance with Florida's rules governing reuse are
deemed protective of public health and environmental quality." In addition, Section
403.064(1), F.S., provides that "reuse is a critical component of meeting the state's
existing and future water supply needs while sustaining natural systems."
The City of Sunny Isles Beach supports water reuse initiatives under consideration by
both the SFWMD and Miami-Dade County. The County has committed to implement a
Data and Analysis

total of 170.0 MGD of water reuse as noted in the County's 20-year water use permit.
In the 20-year Work Plan, the County identified a number of water reuse projects and
their respective schedules. According to the Plan, "reuse projects to recharge the
aquifer with highly treated reclaimed water will be in place before additional withdrawals
over the base condition water use are made from the Alexander Orr, Jr. and South
Dade subarea wellfields. In addition, reuse irrigation projects are anticipated for the
North and Central District Wastewater Treatment Plants. These projects will be
implemented in the Cities of North Miami and North Miami Beach, and are currently
under construction for Key Biscayne."
3.6.2 City Specific Actions, Programs, Regulations, or Opportunities
The City will support the NMB Utility, SFWMD, and Miami-Dade County water reuse
projects, and implementation of new regulations or programs designed to increase the
volume of reclaimed water used and public acceptance of reclaimed water.
3.6.3 Identify any Local Financial Responsibilities as Detailed in the CIS
The City does not currently have financial responsibilities for reuse projects.
3.7 Alternative Water Supplies
The NMB Utility actively pursues the use of alternative water resources. Indeed, it was
the first utility in Miami-Dade to establish an Alternate Water Supply Program. Through
this program the Utility, in coordination with its intergovernmental partners, is taking the
lead to help ensure it protects and preserves valuable water resources while providing
for the needs of current and future populations.

4.0 INTERGOVERNMENTAL COORDINATION
The provision of water supply needs in City of Sunny Isles Beach is achieved in
coordination with local, county, and regional partners including the North Miami Beach
Utility, Miami-Dade County, and South Florida Water Management District. NMB Utility
is Sunny Isles Beach's primary water partner as they provide the City its water service
utilities. Miami-Dade County works in coordination with the City and NMB Utility to
ensure that water supply services are provided to all residents of Miami-Dade County in
the most efficient and effective manner. SFWMD acts to protect the region's water
supply resources and coordinates the implementation of state water regulations and
policies through local water planning efforts and water supply services.
4.1 Achieving the City's Level of Service through Coordinated Efforts
Since the City does not provide potable water utility services, it must work in
coordination to ensure the City's adopted level of service standards are met. As
adopted in the City's 2000 Comprehensive Plan, the level of service for potable water is:
"The regional treatment system shall operate with a rate maximum daily
capacity that is no than 2-percent above the maximum daily flow for the
preceding year, and an average capacity 2-percent above the average
daily per capita system demand for the preceding 5 years.
Water shall be delivered to users at a pressure no less than 20 pounds
per square inch (psi) and no greater than 100 psi. Unless otherwise
approved by the Miami-Dade Fire Department, minimum fire flows based
on the land use served shall be maintained...."
In addition to this adopted LOS, the City of Sunny Isles Beach Evaluation and Appraisal
Report recommends that, as part of its intergovernmental coordination efforts with the
City of North Miami Beach, establish a potable level of service consistent with the NMB
adopted LOS.
The NMB Utility's effective conservation efforts have enabled the City of North Miami
Beach to change its LOS from the current level of 150 gpd to 144 gpd. In order
maintain effective intergovernmental coordination, the City of Sunny Isles Beach ought
to adopt this new LOS standard. Thus, as part of the Comprehensive Plan
Amendments necessitated by this finding of this Water Supply Plan, the report
recommends the establishment of a potable water LOS of 144 gpd.
The result of this LOS coordination is that the City through the NMB Utility has been
able to provide its residents and businesses the water resources they need in the most
efficient and effective manner possible. In doing so, the City has been able to
effectively maintain its adopted level of service for potable water.
Intergovernmental Coordination

Moreover by coordinating with the Utility on the implementation of the Work Plan
outlined in the North Miami Beach 10-Year Water Supply Facilities Work Plan, the City
will continue meeting these needs. Through this coordinated effort, the City will be able
to ensure that the water demands of both current and future residents and business are
met.

Monorail crash kills man
.. The transit system,
which shuttles thousands
of visitors eac.h day, was
shut down after the
holiday weekend crash.
LAKE BUENA VISTA -
Two monorail trains crashed
early Sunday in the Magic
Kingdom section of Walt Dis~
ney Warld, killing one train's
operator, emergency ofticials
said.
The transit system, which
shuttles thousands oivisitors
around the sprawling resort
each day, was shut down
while authorities investigated
the holiday weekend wreck.
The monorail operator
died at the scene of the crash.
which happened about 2 a.m.,
said Bo Jones, deputy chief of
the Reedy Creek Fire Depart-
ment. The other train opera-
tor was uninjured, but was
taken to a hospital bt..'Cause he
was emotionally shaken.
Jones said five park guests
were treated at the scene,
though the Orange County
Sheriffs office said six were
treated.
Disney Vice President of
Communications Michael
Griffin identified the driver as
21-year-old Austin Wuennen-
berg. Griffin would not dis-
cuss how long Wuennenberg
had been with DL"ney or the
circumstances surrounding
the cra..h.
Disney officials also
refused to talk about how the
monorail system operates.
"'They are extremely rare,"
Griffm said of accidents at the
park. "The safety of our
guests and cast are a top pri-
ority above all else."
ORLANDO
'EDAGl!5ItElU/OAUHDOSUTIlU
IDLE: A monorail train sits motionless on a track
outside EPCOT on Sunday after two monorail trains
crashed in the Magic Kingdom, killing a train operator.
It was unclear what caused
the crash, Jones said. Orange
County Sheriffs officials
were investigating.
^ spokeswoman for Stet-
son University in nearby
Deland conlirmed that
Wuennenberg was a student
at the school
A woman standing in front
of Wuennenberg's home in
Kissimmee would not com-
ment Sunday afternoon, and
directed all questions to Dis-
ney officials, saying the fam-
ily would "like some private
time to grieve."
Jones said Ihe crash hap-
pened at the park's ticket and
transportalion center. About
a dozen guards wearing blue
Disney security uniforms
guarded the monorail station
Sunday morning and pre-
vented visitors from
approaching the area.
Griffin would not com.
ment on a video posted on the
website of Orlando 1V sta-
tion WKMG. The clip, appar.
endy shot by a guest at the
theme park, shows several
people trying to get the driv-
er's attention as they examine
the wreckage.
"This is sllch a close-knit
community," Griffin said.
"Our hearts go out to Austin's
family. It's a sad day here."
Catherine McKenn.", 45,
and her family were visiting
the theme park from Ireland.
The family had planned to
use the monorail to travel to
the Magic Kingdom but said
they were told the train was
broken. They took a ferry
instead, but returned on the
monorail later.
"It.s very sad," McKenna
said. "You would be very
afraid to use it again."
'The safety of ollr
guests and cast are a
top priority above all
else.'
- MICHAEL GRIFFIN,
DI.".,VPoI_lat\ftm
However, another guest,
55-year-old Jose Sequera of
Vencwela, said he was not
concerned about safety at the
p",J<.
"I think they talee care of
things," Sequera said. "Accl-
dents happen, the same as in
planes and cars."
Disney spokeswoman
Zaraya Suarez said the park
had boosted other fonns of
transportation - such as fer-
ries, boats and buses - for
visitors Sunday.
"Our guests are getting
around fme," Suarez said.
Ethan Meus, who was visit.
ing the park from Dubuque,
Iowa, said he and his family
took the monorail to dinner at
a resort hotel Saturday night.
Meus, 17, watched the Magic
Kingdom fireworks from the
monorail on the way back to
his hotel, he said, and didn't
notice any problems with the
train.
"It's pretty shocking to
hear that a driver was killed
in that accident," Meus said.
TIle family had intended to
talee the train again Sunday to
visit Disney's Epcot Center,
but now planned to take a bus
instead, Meus said.
"It's a bit shocking," said
22-year-old Danielle Williams
ol London. "Disney seems so
perfect."
Miami teen's heart saves young girl
.. A 10.year-old Orlando
girl Is home after receiving
the transplanted heart of a
Miami teenager, and life is
almost back to normal.
BY ANDREA ADELSON
Orlando Ser.tirl&l
ORLANDO - Gracyn
DenBesten sat in her hospital
bed and held out her hands.
Her doctors placed an
enLU"ged, discolored blob into
her palm.
II was her failed heart.
Gracyn's reaction: "It
kinda looks like chicken."
It was time to say goodbye
to it
That gray mass once beat
inside her chest, pumping
blood, giving her life. But a
virus attacked it, rendering it
useless. She was rushed to
Arnold Palmer Hospital on
Christmas Eve and lay dying,
deliriously screaming, "I'm
going to die! I'm going to die!"
Her organs began shutting
down. Gracyn. then 9, needed
a heart transplant to survive.
She was transferred to Shands
Hospital in Gainesville, where
NORTH MIAMI-DADE
an artificial heart kept her
alive for almost four months.
Then on April 15, she got
her new heart. Incredibly, she
returned
bome two
weeks later.
Now she is
trying to
resume her
normal life
with her par-
ents, Robin
and Kris, who
own an indus- GR1CYJI
trial equipment business, and
her brothers Cole, n, and
Brooks,7.
"I'm really happy to be at
home," said Gracyn, who
turned 10 last month. "If my
lile could be perfect, this is
what it would be like. I'm
alive and healthy and at my
home with my friends and I
can do normal stuff again."
If you were to meet Gra-
cyn, there is no way you
would know what she bas
been through.
Only the top part ol the
scar that runs down her chest
peeks through the top of ber
shirt. Her cheeks are perfectly
rosy. She looks like a healthy
little girl
But a few months back, no
one knew when she would get
that new hearL It was a strong
faith in God that got Gracyo
and her family through their
nightmare.
When the call came that
Gracyn would receive a new
heart, the family learned the
donor was a lS-year-old boy
from Miami who died in an
accident
Their gift meant tragedy
for another family.
"I pray lor them all the
time, because I can't imagine
what they're going through,"
Robin said.
While Gracyn recovered at
Shands, she received visits
from several University of
Florida teams, but none big-
ger than Gators quarterback
Tim Tebow and coach Urban
Meyer.
She has been home (or
more than a month now. The
whir of machines has been
replaced with the whir of the

'PROGRAM, FROM 18
Young offenders get second chance
ties, clothes, music, food and
income. He explained their
earning potential based on
education level.
"Think about the Iype of
money to support the lile-
style you envision," said Wil-
liams, who lives in Miramar.
"How much money do you
think you would like to
make?"
"Off the scale," answered
17-year-old James Johnson.
WSVN-Fox 7 sports
reporter Donovao Campbell
stopped in to talk to the teens
about hbl work and back-
ground.
JAIl'S NO GAME
And Marlon Kelly, a
supervisor for the juvenile
population at the Turner
Guilford Knight Correctional
Center in Miami-Dade,
talked to the students about
making wise choices and
staying out of jail
''When you go to jail, you
never know what you're
going to face," Kelly said.
"Don't play with it. Doo't
think 'I'm tough, I can handle
it'"
He told the teens that he
once worked with firsNime
offenders like them, and has
run into some of those peo~
pIe - some who ended up in
jail, and some who stayed out
ol trouble.
"Don't take lor granted the
chances that you get," Kelly
said. "Because the chances
you get may be your last."
Adrienne Adams, 16, of
Miami Gardens, said the pro-
gram "beats going to jail" for
shoplitling.
"This shows you that
sometimes you get a second
chance, but not all time," she
said. "So I'm kind oflucky for
that."
James Johnson, who lives
in Opa.locka, started the pro-
gram in late April after get-
ting into a tight.
"It keeps me out ol trou-
ble," he said. "It made me
change my mind about a lot
of things I was going to do."
James says he wants to
study forensic science and
work in the homicide divi.
sion at a police department.
He admits that he thought
the diversion program would
be boring, but doesn't any
more.
"It.s kind of fun. I like it,"
he said. "It starts at 4. I'm
here every day at 3:30."
The program also pro-
vides counseling and aca-
demic services and touches
on drug abuse, HIV aware.
ness, peer pressure and
avoiding negative situations.
Kids up to age 17 can par-
ticipate. Williams said the
program is required to serve
at least 35 kids a year but ha...
already worked with 65 so far
th.is year.
HEl~ NEEDED
Kelly Brady-Rumble, a
reading and language arts
teacher in Miami-Dade, vol-
unteers with the program
when needed to do reading
tests for Ihe kids. She said
she was impressed tbe first
time she visited and would
love to see someone donate
money to provide intensive
reading and math help for the
kids.
"There's lots more than
can be done," she said.
The program started in

make adjustments in our
stafl and are restructuring so
we can take this back down
in the right direction."
FAU's last capital cam-
paign, wbicb ran for five
years beginning in 1997,
raised more than $200 mil-
lion. There is no timeline for
when the oe:lt capital cam~
paign might begin.
CAPITAL CAMPAIGN
FAU President FrankBro-
gan began speaking about
beginning a capital campaign
soon after he was hired In
2003. While Brogan's annual
evaluations by trustees are
glowing. one nitpick early on
had been concerns over
fundraising efforts.
On his 2006 self-evalua~
tion, Brogan noted fund-
raising under a category
titled "challenges and oppor-
tunities."
In his September 2007
state of the university
address, Brogan intimated
that a capital campaign
could be launched within tbe
year, saying. '1'his resound-
ingly successful iundraising
year provides the perfect
backdrop for the kick-olf of
our capital campaign."
This year, even with the
economy down, the FAU
Foundation surpassed its
goal of raising $12.82 million
in gifts and commitments by
bringing in $12.92 million as
of early June.
Brogan praised Talbot tor
his work at the foundation.
"These are tougb times
for everyone," be said. "It's
much easier to be a great
leader when times are
good. .

NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING TO
AMEND COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
. Florida Atlantic
University Is holding back
on a planned fundraislng
push thanks to the
economic situation, and
paring expenses at the
FAU Foundation.
BY KIMBERLY Mlu.ER
Palm Beach Post
Florida Atlantic Univer-
sity has put the brakes on a
long-sought capital cam-
paign and is blaming the ail-
ing economy for delaying
the fundraising push.
FAU Foundation EXecu-
tive Director Randy Talbot
told school trustee members
last month that the (ounda-
tion had been building a staff
toward the goal of kicking
off a capital campaign.
In 2006, officials at the
Boca Raton-based university
hired a vice president for the
capital campaign at an
annual salary of $160,000.
That position has since been
eliminated, said FAU
spokeswoman Kristine
Gobbo.
Talbot, who was hired in
2007, now is working to
reduce spending at the foun-
dation.
FUNDRAISING FIGURES
During the 2007-08
school year, it cost the foun-
dation 48 cents to raise $I in
donations. In the 2008-09
school year, tbat was down
to 38 cents. Talbot said he
wants it to drop to 12 cents.
"This is not good, but it
reflects building a staff for a
campaign that is not going to
happen anytime soon
because of the economy,"
Talbot said. "We've had to

Miami teen's heart saves young girl

the transplanted heart of a
Miami teenager, and life Is
almost back to normal.

Orlando Sentlrlel
ORLANDO - Gracyn
DenHesten sat in her hospital
bed and held out her hands.
Her doctors placed an
enlarged, discolored blob into
her palm.
It was her failed heart.
Gracyn's reaction: "It
kinda looks like chicken."
It was time to say goodbye
to it.
That gray mass once beat
inside her chest, pumping
blood, giving her life. But a
virus attacked it. rendering it
useless. She was rushed to
Arnold Palmer Hospital on
Christmas Eve and lay dying,
deliriously screaming, "I'm
going to diel I'm going to die'"
Her organs began shutting
down. Gracyn, then 9, needed
a heart transplant to survive.
She was transferred to Shands
Hospital in Gainesville, where
NORTH MIAMI-DADE
an artificial heart kept her
alive {or almost four months.
Then on April 15, she got
her new heart. Incredibly, she
returned
home two
weeks later.
Now she is
trying to
resume her
normal life
with her par.
ents, Robin
and Kris, wha
own an indus- GRACYN
trial equipment business, and
her brat hers Cole, 11, and
Brooks.7.
"I'm really happy to be at
home," said Gracyn, wbo
turned 10 last month. "If my
life could be perfect, this is
what it would be like. I'm
alive and healthy and at my
home with my friends and I
can do normal stuff again."
If you were to meet Gra.
cyn. there is no way you
would know what she bas
been through.
Only the top part of the
scar that runs down her chest
peeks tbrougb the top of her
shirt. Her ch~ks are perfectly
rosy, She looks like a healthy
little girl.
But a few months back, no
one knew when she would get
that new heart.. It was a strong
faith in God that got Gracyn
and her family through their
nightmare.
When the call came that
Gracyn would receive a new
heart. the family learned the
donor was a IS-year-old boy
(rom Miami who died in an
accident.
Their gift meant tragedy
for another {amily,
"I pray for them all the
time, because I can't imagine
what they're going through,"
Robin said.

JAIL'S NO GAME
And Marlon Kelly, a
supervisor {or the juvenile
population at the Turner
Guilford Knight Correctional
Cenler in Miami.Dade,
talked to the students about
making wise choices and
staying out of jail.
''When you go to jail, you
never know what you're
going to {ace," Kelly said.
"Don't play with it. Don't
think 'I'm tough, I can handle
it....
He told the teens that he
once worked with first-time
offenders like them. and has
run into some o{ those peo-
ple - some who ended up in
jail, and some who stayed out
of trouble.
"Don't take for granted the
chances that you get," Kelly
said. "Because the chances
you get may be your last,"
Adrienne Adams, 16, o{
Miami Gardens, said the pro--
gram "beats going to jail" for
shoplifting.
"This shows you that
sometimes you get a second
chance, but not all time," she
said. "So I'm kind oflucky (or
that."
James Johnson. who lives
in Opa.locka, started the pro-
gram in late April after get-
ting into a fight.
"It keeps me out o{ trou.
ble," he said. ..It made me
change my mind about a lot
o{ things I was going to do."
James says he wants to
study forensic science and
work in the homicide divi.
sion at a police department.
He admits that he thought
the diversion program would
be boring. but doesn't any
more.
..It.s kind o{ fun. (like it,"
he said. "It starts at 4. I'm
here every day at 3:30."
The program also pro.
vi des counseling and aca-
demic services and touches
on drug abuse, HIV aware-
ness, peer pressure and
avoiding negative situations.
Kids up to age 17 can par.
ticipate. Williams said the
program is required to serve
at least 35 kids a year but has
already worked with 6S so (ar
this year.

she was impressed the first
