Summary Minutes:Regular City Commission Meeting June 18,2015 City of Sunny Isles Beach,Florida <br /> helped form a Task Force of our neighbors: the Mayor of Golden Beach, the Mayor of Bal <br /> Harbour, the Mayor of Surfside, and the Mayor of Miami Beach. We are all getting together <br /> in July to do a joint effort going forward in dealing with the State, Federal and County <br /> Governments on beach renourishment. If we all get together and call a Press Conference we <br /> may be able to put some heat on our government entities with the intention of moving along <br /> our beach renourishment efforts. At the next meeting City Manager Russo might have more <br /> information regarding what our engineers are finding and what some of the potential solutions <br /> might look like. <br /> Mayor Scholl said the other thing that has been near and dear to many of us is we have <br /> contracted for a very comprehensive Traffic Study and we call it a "Traffic and Pedestrian <br /> Safety Study". We are looking at all the traffic that runs through the City, all the ways our <br /> residents move through the City including walking and bicycling, all the ways that folks get <br /> around. To that point, at the back of the Commission Chambers are some brochures for the <br /> first public Town Hall Meeting regarding the "Comprehensive Plan Update and the <br /> Transportation Master Plan"which will take place on Thursday, July 9, 2015 at 6:30 p.m. in <br /> the Conference Room at Winston Towers 600. Our Consultants are reaching out to the <br /> community because we want to hear from our residents who know better than anybody about <br /> what the problems are in being a pedestrian in that area. We are going to have a series of <br /> these Town Hall Meetings with the Consultants and the City Manager, and it will be an <br /> interactive meeting as they want to hear from you, they want to get your ideas. When folks <br /> call him on traffic, he listens to what they say and has been feeding it to our Consultants. <br /> Mayor Scholl said that is kind of a quick State of the City,you know how to contact all of us, <br /> and it is a team effort. We have a great Commission and a great staff,and everybody has been <br /> supportive and that is why we are getting things done. He feels that everyone's heart is in the <br /> right place and a common vision has been shaping up on what we have been doing and the <br /> way we have been moving forward. He thanked the Commission and the Staff and he is <br /> looking forward to the next six months,and maybe for next year's State of the City we will be <br /> reporting a lot more good things. <br /> 3.
