Sunny Isles Beach
Educational Facilities Element
Educational Facilities Goal:
DEVELOP, OPERATE, AND MAINTAIN A SYSTEM OF PUBLIC
EDUCATION BY MIAMI-DADE COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS, IN
COOPERATION WITH THE COUNTY AND OTHER APPROPRIATE
GOVERNMENTAL AGENCIES, WHICH WILL STRIVE TO IMPROVE THE
QUALITY AND QUANTITY OF PUBLIC EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES
AVAILABLE TO THE CITIZENRY OF MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA.
Objective 1
Work with Miami-Dade County Public Schools towards the reduction of
the overcrowding which currently exists in Miami-Dade County Public
Schools, while striving to attain an optimum level of service pursuant to
Objective 2. Provide additional solutions to overcrowding so that
countywide enrollment in Miami-Dade County's public schools will meet
state requirements for class size by September 1,2010.
Monitoring Measure 1
Policies relating to the maintenance and improvement of specific level of
service for public educational facilities, as specified in the Educational Facilities
Impact Fee Ordinance, shall be reviewed annually. Each year, Miami-Dade
County Public Schools will compare the official enrollment of the school
system with the number of student stations available to determine the current
operating LOS.
Policies
lA. Cooperate with Miami-Dade County Public Schools in their efforts to
continue to provide new student stations through the Capital Outlay
program, in so far as funding is available.
lB. Miami-Dade County shall collect impact fees from new development,
with proof given to the City prior to issuance of building permits, for
transfer to Miami-Dade County Public Schools to offset the impacts of
these additional students on the capital facilities of the school system.
4
Sunny Isles Beach
Educational Facilities Element
IC. Cooperate with Miami-Dade County Public Schools in their efforts to
develop and implement alternative educational facilities, such as primary
learning centers, which can be constructed on small parcels of land and
relieve overcrowding at elementary schools, in so far as funding and
rules permit.
ID. Cooperate with Miami-Dade County Public Schools in their efforts to
provide public school facilities to the students of Sunny Isles Beach,
which operate at optimum capacity, in so far as funding available.
Operational alternatives may be developed and implemented, where
appropriate, which mitigate the impacts of overcrowding while
maintaining the instructional integrity of the educational program.
IE. Cooperate with Miami-Dade County Public Schools in their efforts to
maintain and/or improve the established level of service (LOS), for
Public Educational Facilities, as established for the purposes of school
concurrency.
IF. Miami-Dade County Public Schools comments shall be sought and
considered on comprehensive growth management plan amendments
and other land use and zoning decisions, or Development of Regional
Impact which could impact the school district, in order to be consistent
with the terms of the state mandated Interlocal Agreement pursuant to
Sections 1013.33 and 163.31777, Florida Statutes.

Board of Miami-Dade County shall be invited to appoint a non-voting
member to the City's Local Planning Agency in order to receive
comment on applications which could impact the school district.
IH. Capital improvement programming by Miami-Dade Public Schools
should be based on future enrollment projections and demographic
shifts and targeted to enhance the effectiveness of the learning
environment. The future enrollment projections should utilize student
population projections based on information produced by the
demographic, revenue, and education estimating conferences pursuant
5
Sunny Isles Beach
Educational Facilities Element
to Section 216.136, Florida Statutes, where available, as modified by the
School Board based on development data and agreement with the local
governments, the State Office of Educational Facilities and the State
SMAR T Schools Clearinghouse. The School Board may request
adjustment to the estimating conferences' projections to reflect actual
enrollment and development trends. In formulating such a request, the
School Board will coordinate with the Cities and County regarding
development trends and future population projections.
11. It is the policy of Sunny Isles Beach that Miami-Dade Public Schools
should give priority to the Urban Infill Area (UIA) identified in the
Growth Management Plan when allocating resources toward the
attainment of the level of service objective for public educational
facilities (Objective 1), followed by more recently developed and newly
developing areas outside the UIA and within the Urban Development
Boundary (UDB).
I}. The City of Sunny Isles Beach will, through the Staff Working Group
of the Interlocal Agreement for Public School Facilities, coordinate with
Miami-Dade County Public Schools, Miami-Dade County, and other
applicable cities to review annually the Educational Facilities Element
and School enrollment projections.
Objective 2
The City of Sunny Isles Beach shall coordinate new residential
development with the future availability of public school facilities!
consistent with the adopted level of service standards for public school
concurrency, to ensure the inclusion of those projects necessary to address
existing deficiencies in the 5-year schedule of capital improvements, and
1 Level of Service standards for public school facilities apply to those traditional educational
facilities, owned and operated by Miami-Dade County Public Schools, that are required to serve
the residential development within their established Concurrency Service Area. Level of Service
standards do not apply to charter schools. However, the actual enrollment (October Full Time
Equivalent (FTE)) of both charter and magnet schools as a percent of the total district enrollment
will be credited against the impact of development.
6
Sunny Isles Beach
Educational Facilities Element
meet future needs based upon achieving and maintaining the adopted level
of service standards throughout the planning period.
Monitoring Measure 2
An annual review of the latest adopted Miami-Dade County Public Schools
Facility Work Program will be conducted pursuant to the Interlocal Agreement
in order to determine if the adopted concurrency level of service standard
(including the Interim LOS standards) is being achieved. The number of
development orders approved, those disapproved and those that have achieved
LOS standards through mitigation options will also be reviewed. The City may
also request the Work Program in order to monitor progress.
Policies
2A. Beginning January 1, 2008, the adopted level of service (LOS) standard
for all Miami-Dade County public school facilities is 100% utilization of
Florida Inventory of School Houses (FISH) Capacity (With Relocatable
Classrooms). This LOS standard, except for Magnet Schools, shall be
applicable in each public school concurrency service area (CSA), defined
as the public school attendance boundary established by the Miami-
Dade County Public Schools.
The adopted LOS standard for Magnet Schools is 100% of FISH (with
relocatable classrooms), which shall be calculated on a districtwide basis.
2B. It is the goal of the City of Sunny Isles Beach, Miami-Dade County
Public Schools, Miami-Dade County and the other signatories to the
Interlocal Agreement for all public school facilities to achieve 100%
utilization of Permanent FISH (No Relocatable Classrooms) capacity by
January 1, 2018. To help achieve the desired 100% utilization of
Permanent FISH by 2018, Miami-Dade County Public Schools should
continue to decrease the number of relocatable classrooms over time.
Public school facilities that achieve 100% utilization of Permanent FISH
7
Sunny Isles Beach
Educational Facilities Element
capacity should, to the extent possible, no longer utilize relocatable
classrooms, except as an operational solution2.
By December 2010, the City in cooperation with Miami-Dade County
Public Schools, Miami-Dade County and the other signatories to the
Interlocal Agreement will assess the viability of modifying the adopted
LOS standard to 100% utilization of Permanent FISH for all CSAs.
2C. In the event the adopted LOS standard of a CSA cannot be met as a
result of a proposed development's impact, the development may
proceed provided at least one of the following conditions is met:
a) The development's impact can be shifted to one or more
contiguous CSAs that have available capacity and is located, either in
whole or in part, within the same Geographic Areas (Northwest,
Northeast, Southeast, or Southwest (See Figures 1A through 1D )) as the
proposed development; or
b) The development's impact is mitigated, proportionate to the
demand for public schools it created, through a combination of one or
more appropriate proportionate share mitigation options, as defined in
Section 163.3180 (13) (e) 1, Florida Statutes. The intent of these options is
to provide for the mitigation of residential development impacts on public
school facilities, guaranteed by a legal binding agreement, through
mechanisms that include, one or more of the following: contribution of
land; the construction, expansion, or payment for land acquisition or
construction of a permanent public school facility; or, the creation of a
mitigation bank based on the construction of a permanent public school
facility in exchange for the right to sell capacity credits. The proportionate
share mitigation agreement, is subiect to approval by Miami-Dade County
School Board and Miami-Dade County Board of County Commission and
must be identified in the Miami-Dade County Public Schools Facilities
Work Program.
2 Relocatable classrooms may be used by the Miami-Dade County Public Schools as an operational
solution to achieve the level of service standard during replacement, renovation or expansion of a public
school facility.
8
Sunny Isles Beach
Educational Facilities Element
c) The development's impacts are phased to occur when sufficient
capacity will be available.
If none of the above conditions is met, the development shall not be
approved.
2D. Concurrency Service Areas (CSA) shall be delineated to: 1) maximize
capacity utilization of the facility, 2) limit maximum travel times and
reduce transportation costs, 3) acknowledge the effect of court-approved
desegregation plans, 4) achieve socio-economic, racial, cultural and
diversity objectives, and 5) achieve other relevant objectives as
determined by the School Board's policy on maximization of capacity.
Periodic adjustments to the boundary or area of a CSA may be made by
the School Board to achieve the above stated factors. Other potential
amendments to the CSAs shall be considered annually at the Staff
Working Group meeting to take place each year no later than April 30 or
October 31, consistent with Section 9 of the Interlocal Agreement for
Public School Facility Planning.
2E. The County through the implementation of the concurrency management
system and Miami-Dade County Public School Facilities Work Program
for educational facilities, shall ensure that existing deficiencies are
addressed and the capacity of schools is sufficient to support residential
development at the adopted level of service (LOS) standards throughout
the planning period in the 5-year schedule of capital improvements.
2F. The Miami-Dade County Public Schools Facilities Work Program will be
evaluated on an annual basis to ensure that the level of service standards
will continue to be achieved and maintained throughout the planning
period.
Objective 3

schools constructed should be located at least 1/4 mile inside the UDB;
new middle schools should be located at least 1/2 mile inside the UDB,
and; new senior high schools should be located at least one mile inside
the UDB. In substantially developed areas of the County where suitable
sites in full conformance with the foregoing are not available and a site
or portion of a site for a new school must encroach closer to the UDB,
the majority of the site should conform with the foregoing location
criteria and the principal school buildings and entrances should be
placed as far as functionally practical from the UDB. The same criteria
of this paragraph that apply to public schools also pertain to private
schools.
3B. In the selection of sites for future educational facility development, the
City encourages Miami-Dade County Public Schools to consider
whether a school is in close proximity to residential areas and is in a
location that would provide a logical focal point for community
actiVities.
3C. Where possible, Miami-Dade County Public Schools should seek sites
which are adjacent to existing or planned public recreation areas,
community centers, libraries, or other compatible civic uses for the
purpose of encouraging joint use facilities or the creation of logical focal
points for community activity.
3D. The City acknowledges and concurs that, when selecting a site, Miami-
Dade County Public Schools will consider if the site meets the
minimum size criteria as recommended by the State Department of
Education or as determined to be necessary for an effective educational
enVIronment.
10
Sunny Isles Beach
Educational Facilities Element
3E. When considering a site for possible use as an educational facility,
Miami-Dade County Public Schools should review the adequacy and
proximity of other public facilities and services necessary to the site such
as roadway access, transportation, fire flow and portable water, sanitary
sewers, drainage, solid waste, police and fire services, and means by
which to assure safe access to schools, including sidewalks, bicycle paths,

2E. The 5 year schedule of improvements will incorporate the identified capital
investments for each of the following levels of service for each element as
defined:
* * *
Schools - The City of Sunny Isles Beach shall coordinate new residential

ensure the inclusion of those projects necessary to address existing deficiencies
in the 5-year schedule of capital improvements, and meet future needs based
upon achieving and maintaining the adopted level of service standards

Beginning January 1, 2008, the adopted level of service (LOS) standard for all

Fla. Guard to
deploy in '09
lmThe Florida National
Guard has been told to
get ready for a major
deployment to the Middle
East.
BY PHil lONG
plong@MiamiHt>rald,com
More than 3,400 Florida
National Guard soldiers -
including at least 600 from
South Florida - are being
told to prepare lor a deploy-
ment to Afghanistan in the
summer of 2009.
The 12-month deploy-
ment was expected, but will
be sooner than previously
anticipated. It means the sol-
diers could be gone during
parts of two hurricane sea-
sons depending on which
month they leave.
"It will be our largest
dcployment as a singlc unit,"
said Lt. Col. Ron Tittle, chief
spokesman from the Guard.
With 3,400 Guardsmen
deployed overseas, there
will still be nearly 8,000
Army National Guard sol-
diers and Air National Guard
airmen available in the state,
he said. And the Guard has
emergency-management
mutual aid agreements with
other state National Guard
troops.
About 1,200 soldiers of
the 53rd Combat Infantry
Brigade returned from
Afghanistan in the spring of
2006.
The brigade, based in
PineIlas Park near 51. Peters.
burg. is made up of elements
from throughout the state.
Troops were expecting a
deployment in the 2009-10
time frame.
South Florida is home to
about 600 members of the
First Battalion of the 124th
Infantry, which, along with
two other battalions of the
124th in Orlando and in the
Panhandle, were among the
first in action in the early
days of the Iraq W:rr.
It won't be the first time
more than 3,000 Guard sol-
diers have been out of the
state on federal deployment
during a hurricane season,
Tittle said. During the early
part o{ the war, nearly 4,000
Florida Guard soldiers were
deployed overseas in Iraq,
Afghanistan or other coun-
tries in that part of the
world, Tittle said
Under a new Department
of Defense policy on mobili-
zation, instead of smaller
units being called up for ser-
vice. the entire brigade will
be called whenever possible.
The 48th Combat Infantry
Brigade from the Georgia
National Guard also was
alerted lor thc summer 2009
deployment.
"It's a heads-up," Tittle
said. "We'll concentrate our
training in case we are mobi-
lized."
The soldiers will be
responsible {or security, sta-
bilizing their patrol arca,
combat, and lOany other
tasks, Tittle said.
The 53rd is a virtually
self-suificient unit with its
own logistics, administra-
tion, transportation and
other key elements.
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY COMMISSION
.FIU,FROM1B
$IOM for FlU medical school OK'd without voters
the 1O~1 majority.
The gilt will go toward a
major bealth clinic on FlU's
West Dade campus, which
university president
Modesto "Mitch" Maidique
said was doubly crucial: It
not only goes toward the
$50 million to $100 million
construction cost, but dem-
onstrates local support for a
medical school project that
could be targeted {or budget
cuts as Florida's tax revenues
swoon.
Commissioner Joe Marti-
nez, who sponsored the reso-
lution and whose district
includes the campus, said his
staff learned of the money
simply by asking.
He then wrote a resolution
that went before the bond
program's Citizens Advisory
Board, a County Commission
committee last month and
the full commission Tuesday.
The advisory board was
divided, recommending the
project by a 9-4 vote.
Committee chairwoman
Robin Reiter-Faragalli was
among the no votes, saying
the county must clarify its
intent.
Mayor Carlos Alvarez
supported FlU's request.
"The establishment of a
school of medicine is just the
latest in a long list of educa-
tional achievements that will
pay dividends not only for
those who seek higher educa-
tion, hut for all Miami-Dade

County residents who relish
a thriving, vibrant commu~
nity," Alvarez said in a state~
ment.
Supporters said the
school, though centered at
FlU, will have facilities in
other communities and serve
patients throughout the
county.
County Manager George
Burgess said the bond's inter-
est should generally be
reserved {or the Building Bet~
ter Communities projects
approved by voters in 2004.
Rising costs will likely
require more than the $2.9
billion already approved.
"My recommendation
, generally speaking is not to
use the interest at all . . , to
leave it there," Burgess said.
He said FlU's request was
uniquely timely as state lead-
ers debate the mediclll
school's future.
He carefully avoided tak-
: ing a firm position for or
: against the grant.
: He said the administration
~ would develop a tighter pro.
,,"",Goo.~~.
cess for reporting and spend-
ing the interest.
The manager's words did
little to placate Rolle.
"You sprinkle sugar on top
of manure and call it candy,"
he said.
Two years ago, a different
financial wrinkle in the bond
program was tapped by Com-
missioner Bruno Barreiro to
spend $8 million on a project
in Miami Beach.
Rolle made similar objec-
tions at the time.
"I just don't think it's fair
that on two occasions, the
dollars have flowed out and
nobody knew about it but
staff and the person who
made the resolution," said
Rolle.
Rolle wants to close a
$5 million to $10 million gap
on a new police station in his
inner-city district.
FlU had a head start
because its associate vice
president for real estate
development and planning,
Charles Scun, worked on a
previous bond issue.
He was aware there would
be interest.
"It always helps to be
early in the game," Maidique
said.
Commissioner Audrey
Edmonson, who earlier
opposed the grant, said Mai.
dique convinced her it was
key (or her alma mater.
As the debate ended, Rolle
raised the rhetorical temper-
ature.
"This is not just a 'no,' " he
said. "It's a black no:'
Responded Martinez, a
former policeman: "I was in
central district - I worked
there, Commissioner Rolle,
before you ever thought of
being a commissioner."
Barreiro, the chairman,
quickly ended the discussion.
The question of how to
spend the interest - about
$5 million still remains, and
millions more could be gen-
erated later - struck at the
deeper issue of whether com-
missioners should primarily
serve their district or the
community at large.

committee was tirst sug-

resurfaced Ihis summer after
an investigation questioned
the procedures used (or

The proposal calls for nine

Educational Facilities Plan Amendments
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission approve the Educational Facility Plan amendments.
REASONS
As part of the Evaluation Appraisal Report (EAR) amendments an Educational Facilities Element
has been created for the City's Comprehensive Master Plan. The Educational Facilities Plan
outlines the methodology of creating school concurrency, the sharing of information between local
governments and Miami-Dade County Public Schools and implementing public school concurrency
through the City' Comprehensive Master Plan.
Upon second approval by the City Commission of this Ordinance the amendments will be
transmitted to the Department of Community Affairs (DCA) for fInal suffIciency review.

Some of the most important changes to the City's Comprehensive Plan include:
· Creating a new Educational Facilities Element to the Plan. As in any
other element Goals, Objective and Policies are stated to outline the
vision of the City. In this case, as in the case of Interlocal, there has
been a concerted effort by the School System, Miami-Dade County
and staff from a majority of the municipalities to create the GOP's and
data and analysis.
· Amending the Intergovernmental Coordination Element to strengthen
and/or add policies to meet the intent of the Interlocal and Florida
Statute.
. Amending the Capital Improvement Element to strengthen and/or add
policies to meet the intent of the Interlocal and Florida Statute.
. Adding to the Capital Improvement Element a section creating the
concurrency Level of Service Standard for public schools and
additional wording to the Concurrency Management System requiring
the review of residential development for school concurrency.
· Adding the requirement that the Miami-Dade County Public Schools

Good Morning! Hope you're all rested from last night! Just wanted to confirm that we will
need a few things from the City for the packages. We'll need the Ordinance adopting the
EAR-based Amendments, the Resolution approving the Interlocal, the signature page from the
Interlocal to attach (after it's all signed), and the Ordinance from First reading for the
Ed Facs package.
Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks
