Town of Surfside Gazette - January 2019

GAZETTE JANUARY 2019

Message from the Town Manager With the arrival of the new year, we are delighted to share a wave of exciting projects planned for 2019.

Starting this spring, Surfside will address critical beach erosion by undergoing a vast beach renourishment. Our Town Commission and Administration have worked hard to secure funding for this endeavor, which helps to support coastal storm risk management, preserve wildlife, and protect beachfront infrastructures.

Once more details become available, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will host a series of public meetings at Town Hall to review project details and answer any resident questions.

Additionally, the Town of Surfside plans to renovate the 96th Street Park, further improve beach ends, rollout new sustainability initiatives such as the Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) program, and further increase healthy reserves for long-range financial planning and future needs. Please consider taking a brief survey to help the Town to improve the efficiency of shuttle bus transportation and better serve the community (see page 4).

As we look ahead, the Town remains committed to building a more resilient community and to continually enhancing the quality of life for Surfsiders. We hope you will join us at the Family Fun Day presented by the Parks and Recreation Department on Sunday, January 27th. Please also visit the Town website and sign-up for Town notifications in order to stay abreast of important updates.

Best wishes for 2019!

- Guillermo Olmedillo, Town Manager

CODE

COMPLIANCE CORNER

Registration is Required for Short-Term Rentals

In 2011, Surfside enacted a “Short-Term Rental” Ordinance to regulate the rental of residential properties by seasonal residents. The Ordinance requires property owners to complete an “Individual ShortTerm Rental Registration for Seasonal Guests” application and pay the required fees. Property owners must agree to the terms and conditions for short-term rentals as outlined in the Ordinance.

A new registration application is required for each new rental period, and property owners are limited to three rentals within a 12-consecutive month time period.

The registration fee per rental period is $100, plus a Resort Tax is due per rental period of four percent of the total rental fee collected by the property owner. If you are advertising and renting your property through the Airbnb website, then Airbnb will collect and remit the 4% Resort Tax to the Town on your behalf.

Registration is compulsory at the time that the property becomes listed or advertised on a vacation rental website such as Airbnb, HomeAway, VRBO, Flipkey or any other website. The $100 registration fee will be credited to the first vacation rental period that occurs at the property.

For further information on the Town’s Short-Term Rental Ordinance or to obtain a registration application form, please contact the Code Compliance Division at Surfside Town Hall, or call (305) 861-4863, extension 230.

CITIZEN OF THE MONTH

POLICE BEAT

Executive Assistant Dina Goldstein For the past four months, Executive Assistant Dina Goldstein organized, directed and coordinated the Police Department’s 17th Citizen’s Police Academy.

The participants truly appreciated the thought-provoking and exciting topics, classes and exceptional instructors.

Behind the scenes of this successful program there is an enormous amount of work, including managing and scheduling classes, instructors, transportation, refreshments, venues, equipment, certificates, thank you correspondence, room set up and the graduation ceremony. This year, new instructors and classes were added. To keep this program successful and enlightening each year is challenging, requiring a considerable workload. Dina did all of this expertly in addition to her regular duties. Dina is commended for her overall dedication to this Department and her efforts in leading another successful SPD Citizens Police Academy!

SURFSIDE POLICE VOLUNTEER FOR FALLEN OFFICERS

ACCREDITATION TEAM INVITES PUBLIC COMMENT ON SURFSIDE POLICE DEPARTMENT The Surfside Police Department is an Accredited Law Enforcement Agency though The Commission for Florida Law Enforcement Agencies (CFA), Inc. The Surfside Police Department successfully achieved initial CFA accreditation in 2009, and re-accreditation in 2012 and in 2016. The Surfside Police Department is proud to be an accredited law enforcement agency, which demonstrates that the agency is committed to the highest standards of professional law enforcement service. A team of assessors from the CFA will arrive on January 8, 2019 to examine all aspects of the Surfside Police Department’s policies and procedures, management, operations and support services. The Surfside Police Department must comply with more than 250 standards to receive reaccredited status. Many of the standards are critical to life, health and safety issues. As part of the on-site assessment, Surfside Police Department members and the general public are invited to offer comments to the assessment team. A copy of the standards is available through the CFA’s website: www.flaccreditation.org/standards.htm. For more information on CFA or to offer written comments about the Surfside Police Department’s ability to meet the standards of accreditation, send correspondence to: CFA, Post Office Box 1489, Tallahassee, Florida 32302 or email: info@flaccreditation.org.

The assessment team is composed of law enforcement practitioners from similar agencies. The assessors will review written materials, interview individuals and visit offices and other locations. When CFA assessors complete their review, they report back to the full Commission which will decide reaccredited status. The Surfside Police Department’s reaccreditation occurs every three years. Verification that the Surfside Police Department meets the Commission’s standards is a highly prized recognition of law enforcement professional excellence.
