First and foremost, I want to wish everyone a wonderful and healthy new year. A new year brings new promises and hope. en primer lugar, quiero desearles a todos un ao nuevo maravilloso y lleno de salud. este prximo ao viene lleno de esperanza y nuevas promesas. este ao, nos concentraremos en uno de los proyectos ms grandes que ha realizado la ciudad en los ltimos aos: el desarrollo del distrito del centro de convenciones de Miami Beach. el ao pasado, la ciudad comenz el proceso de aplicacin para calificaciones a entidades interesadas, o una solicitud de calificaciones (rFQ), para renovar y ampliar el centro de convenciones, que tambin incluye el desarrollo de un hotel sede con conexin a propiedades adyacentes disponibles para uso mixto. comenzando en enero, vamos a convocar varias reuniones pblicas (pagina 8) para que la comunidad participe de este proceso, porque es importante que los residentes y dueos de negocios tomen parte de proyectos de desarrollo dentro de nuestra ciudad. en otras reas, las mejoras a las estructuras de estacionamiento y al sistema de transporte son unas de varios factores que podran mejorar la calidad de vida de nuestros residentes. en este edicin de MB, se habla sobre nuevas iniciativas y otras que se estn estudiando. seguimos comprometidos a los objetivos de nuestro plan estratgico y a mejorar nuestra infraestructura, servicios y programas durante todo el ao. Gracias por su apoyo a medida que continuamos, no slo responderle, sino a ofrecerle alto nivel de servicios todos los das.
KATHIE G. BROOKS
This year, we will be focusing on one of the largest projects that the city has untaken in years: the development of the Miami Beach Convention Center district. Last year, we issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to renovate and expand the Miami Beach Convention Center, including the development of a convention center headquarter hotel, as well as adjacent properties available for mixed-use. We will be holding several public meetings to engage you in the process beginning in January (see page 8 for highlights of upcoming meeting dates). It is very important that your voice be heard. In other areas, improvements to parking and transportation are one of the factors that would improve our residents quality of life. In this issue of MB, we talk about some of the new initiatives and others that are being explored. We remain committed throughout the year to the goals of our strategic plan and on making improvements to our infrastructures, services and programs. Thank you for your support as we continue to strive to enhance our level of responsiveness to you and deliver quality services every day.

dr. leslie rosenfeld alejandra Gonzalez needed her daughter to get a physical at the start of the new school year. However, due to financial and social conditions, and transportation barriers, she and many families like hers cannot access health care in traditional office settings. through a partnership of the Citys education Compact and the university of Miami Miller School of Medicine, a mobile clinic now provides free pediatric services at various Miami Beach parks. Gonzalez recently brought her eight-year-old daughter to one of these mobile pediatric clinic currently servicing uninsured children in Miami Beach. I like having the service available so close to home, it makes caring for my daughter very convenient and provides a lot of good information, said Gonzalez. the partnership with Miami Beach has allowed us to provide much needed medical services to the community in their own neighborhood, said lisa Gwynn, d.o., medical director. a 47-foot traveling health facility equipped with three exam rooms, a laboratory, a treatment area and a pharmacy, the mobile clinic provides children from birth to 21 years of age, a plethora of services. these services include everything from well visits, immunizations, health screenings and management of chronic illnesses, to urgent care, mental health and social services.

ENCROACHING ON PUBLIC SPACE?
ARE YOUR HEDGES

You encroach when you install private improvements within the public right-of-way (ROW). If you have planted material in the swale in front of your home, built a fence or placed a birdbath, or other feature just outside your property, you have created an encroachment. Miami Beach enforces encroachment laws on a complaint-driven basis. The Public Works Department verifies the complaint and the Code Compliance Division issues a courtesy notice. The property owner must comply by removing the encroachment, such as carefully trimming back trees and hedges, or applying for an after-the-fact permit (landscaping and driveway approaches). Noncompliance may result in a violation and/or penalty fees. The City may also remove the encroachment at the owners expense.
This overgrown shrub obstructs pedestrian and vehicular views creating, not only an encroachment, but also a public safety concern on the public street. It is important to keep your hedges trimmed and maintained regularly from encroaching to avoid a complaint to be filed and, equally as importnat, damage to the plants, which can result from significant trimming.
PRIVATE ENCROACHMENTS PROHIBITED ENCROACHMENTS ALSO INCLUDE:

Free standing structures on the swale, i.e., intercom announcers, water fountains, decorative boulders and stones. Decorative fences, gates, wrought iron, aluminum, and wood fences CBS concrete wall/ concrete curbing Roof overhangs/soffits Awnings/eyebrows metal wood concrete Exterior structure portions: columns/perimeter walls, etc. Life safety equipment. i.e. FDC - Fire Department Connection, which typically obstruct the public sidewalk. Property entrance steps hand railings
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING THE RIGHT-OF-WAY?

Property owners are expected to maintain what they plant or install on ROWs to prevent blocking the right-a-way, obstructing view, impeding pedestrian access, or causing other safety concerns.
Structural encroachments not otherwise listed, including but not limited to, fences, walls, patios, water fountains, raised planters and decorative boulders. Private signs, except as provided in the City Code. Lighting Loose rock, gravel or any surfacing other than concrete or flat stone/brick installed at grade and grouted.
HOW DO I OBTAIN A PERMIT FOR A RIGHT-OF-WAY?

Some encroachments in ROWs can be permitted. However, the City may remove or request that the encroachment be removed if it needs to build or perform any construction in the ROW, or if a valid complaint is verified. Permits are required to protect the rights of the public and to prevent damage to underground utilities. The law even requires that a call be made to 811, at least three days before any digging is done within the right-ofway, so that underground utilities can be properly marked. Property owners can apply for a permit with the Public Works Department. ROW permit fees may vary depending on the project size and location. ROW permits and the review/ approval process without revisions or encroachments are typically finalized within one to two business days. However, if a structure is proposed to be placed in the ROW, a revocable permit is required. This needs the approval of the City Commission and may take several months. Miami Beach City Hall / Public Works Department 305.673.7080
HOW DO I FIND OUT MY PROPERTYS BOUNDARIES?

Property boundaries are identified and shown on a certified property boundary survey prepared by a licensed land surveyor. A property owner is responsible for all surveying costs. Check your yellow pages or the web to find a land surveyor.

Transportation Wheels
During the 2012 Miami Beach Community Survey, a large percentage of residents opined that the city did not have sufficient parking. Half of them said they would take a local bus or ride a bicycle, and a third voiced support for public transportation to the mainland. Miami Beach continues to make great strides when it comes to improving its parking and transportation options whether you use a vehicle, bicycle or bus. The latest efforts are making it easier to hit the beach, dine, shop and have fun in the city by offering more parking solutions and exploring other ways to facilitate getting around. City officials are looking at new ways to improve mass transportation in, out and around the island. This includes preliminary discussions exploring a wire-free overhead streetcar as a possible solution that would provide a connection between Miami Beach and Miami to help improve circulation within the island. In early 2013, officials will also study the possibility of linking the high density residential and commercial areas of North and Middle Beach to South Beach, with a new bus circulator similar to the South Beach Local. A draft of the feasibility study, funded by a grant from the Miami-Dade Metropolitan Planning Organization, has been completed. City officials will be meeting with Miami-Dade Transit to determine, among other procurement options, whether or not a partnership with the county similar to the South Beach Local circulator can be implemented. The bicycle continues to be a popular mode of transportation for many on the beach. One in four South Beach residents walks or cycles as their primary mode of transportation. Recent Census data lists Miami Beach as one of the countrys top ten cities for biking to work. The city boasts approximately 150 bike racks and an estimated 500 that will be added by 2015. This past November, the Deco Bike rental program, launched in 2011, celebrated its four millionth ride and $1.6 million in total trips. The Citys Atlantic Greenway Network Master Plan brought a shared lane to Washington Avenue. A new bike path is currently being completed on Dade Boulevard, and future bike lanes will installed along Washington Court and 22 Street, with connection to the beachwalk. I cant wait until this project [Dade Boulevard project] is completed, it will make me feel much better about riding my bike, said Dania Diez, who rides for fun, exercise, and to her job from the Venetian Islands to Collins Avenue, and does not own a vehicle. The Dade Boulevard path will create an east-west connection from the Venetian Causeway to Convention Center Drive. Other wheels are also turning in Miami Beach. Segways are fairly new to Miami Beachs transportation scene. Recently, Miami Beach adopted

IVETTE DIAZ
regulations concerning the operation of these two-wheeled devices in the interest of safety. The Citys Code prohibits Segways from exceeding eight miles per hour or operating in certain locations, said Miami Beach Transportation Manager Jose Gonzalez. The Code prohibits the devices from operating on the interior pathways within Collins Park and South Pointe Park, Lincoln Road Mall, and the sidewalk on the west side of Ocean Drive. The City Code also prohibits Segway use on public facilities including City Hall, historicallydesignated City properties, police and fire stations, and parking lots and garages, except when used by persons with disabilities. New City Code provisions also establish responsibilities for Segway users and for businesses that rent, lease, or provide tours. The City is in the process of evaluating additional regulations including those relating to minimum age and weight,

CyClING CITy Miami Beach is one the countrys top 10 cities for biking to work.
SeGWay ReGUlaTIoNS Miami Beach City Code Sections 70-66 through 70-71 miamibeachfl.gov The City is in the process of evaluating additional regulations including those relating to minimum age and weight, operating hours, and equipment. As vehicles are still the preferred method of getting around for most people, many efforts are being made to improve parking programs. In the last several years, Miami Beach has added more than 1,500 additional parking spaces. The latest addition is the new Sunset Harbour parking garage with 460 parking spaces and retail on the ground floor. Another public, state-of-the-art, 400-space parking garage by world-renowned architect Zaha Hadid will be breaking ground in the next year in the Collins Park neighborhood. It [Sunset Harbour Garage] is very convenient and you can still find a lot of parking, plus the security is great, said Leny Calle, who works at Sunset Clothing, which relocated from Lincoln Road to the Sunset Harbour neighborhood to join the new businesses opening up in the area. South of Fifth resident Albert Levy also uses the Sunset Harbour Garage. You can actually find parking outside now, too, said Levy. There are other new parking options on the horizon. The City is installing 750 new parking stations by 2014 that allow users to pay for parking with a pay-by-plate option. The City has already installed 300 of these stations, which also alerts technicians via text message when a station needs repair. There is also a new parking application for smart phones coming soon. The new app will provide parking information and availability at garages, said Miami Beach Parking Director Saul Frances. For residents and visitors who choose to drive electric vehicles, there is a municipal car charging station at the 13 Street and Collins Avenue garage. The station is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The new parking options also reduce the chances of people parking illegally and getting towed. However, if you do get towed, public towing fees for Miami Beach residents did not increase when towing fees for non-residents did. In general, Miami Beach is becoming a much better place as far as more parking, and the plans for more public transportation would be good, said Diez.

EL tranSPortE SobrE ruEdaS ProGrESa

Durante la encuesta a la comunidad realizada por la Ciudad en 2012, muchos de los residentes dijeron que la Ciudad no contaba con suficientes sitios para estacionar. La mitad de ellos dijo que tomara un autobs local o montara en bicicleta y una tercera parte expres su apoyo al transporte pblico hacia Miami. Miami Beach continua haciendo todo lo posible para mejorar las opciones de transporte y de estacionamiento, ya sea que usted utilice un vehculo motorizado, una bicicleta o un bus. Los ltimos esfuerzos estn facilitando la movilizacin a la playa y las salidas a comer, comprar y divertirse en la Ciudad, ofreciendo ms soluciones para parquear y explorando otras formas para facilitar el desplazamiento. Los funcionarios de la Ciudad estn buscando nuevas formas de mejorar el transporte masivo dentro y fuera de la isla. Muy pronto se podra poner en marcha discusiones sobre tranvas sin cable. El sistema de tranva bidireccional podra ofrecer un transporte en tren liviano por para conectar a Miami Beach y a Miami
19 26 MB magazine | Winter 2013
y ayudara a mejorar la circulacin dentro de la isla. A principios de 2013, los funcionarios tambin estudiarn la posibilidad de vincular las reas de alta densidad residencial y comercial de North y Middle Beach con South Beach, a travs de un nuevo bus circular similar a South Beach Local. Ya se ha completado un borrador del estudio de viabilidad, financiado por la Organizacin de Planificacin Metropolitana de la Miami-Dade. Funcionarios de la Ciudad se reunirn con el Departamento de Trnsito de Miami-Dade para determinar, entre otras opciones de compra, si se puede establecer o no una alianza con el Condado, similar al circular de South Beach Local. En los ltimos aos Miami Beach ha creado ms de 1,500 espacios adicionales para el estacionamiento de vehculos de residentes, visitantes y negocios. La ms reciente adicin fue el nuevo parqueadero Sunset Harbour Garage con 460 espacios de estacionamiento y puestos de ventas al detal en la planta baja. Otro estacionamiento pblico de
vanguardia, con 400 espacios, sera inaugurado el ao prximo en el vecindario de Collins Park, diseado por la arquitecta Zaha Hadid, de renombre mundial. [Sunset Harbour Garage] es muy conveniente y usted an puede encontrar espacio para estacionar, adems de que hay muy buena seguridad, dice Leny Calle, quien trabaja en Sunset Clothing, negocio trasladado de Lincoln Road al vecindario de Sunset Harbour para unirse a los nuevos negocios abiertos en el rea. Albert Levy, residente de South of Fifth tambin utiliza Sunset Harbour Garage cuando visita a su hermana y cuando asiste a clases de yoga. Ahora tambin se puede encontrar espacio para estacionar afuera, dijo Levy. Las nuevas opciones de estacionamiento tambin reducen las posibilidades de estacionarse de forma ilegal lo que tiene como resultado que su vehculo sea remolcado. Sin embargo, si alguna vez su vehculo es remolcado, las
tarifas de remolque pblico para los residentes de Miami Beach no aumentarn, aunque recientemente se incrementaron las tarifas de remolque para no los no residentes. Hay otras nuevas opciones en el horizonte. La Ciudad est instalando 750 nuevos espacios de estacionamiento para el 2014, lo que permitir a los usuarios pagar el parqueadero con una opcin de pago-por-placa. La Ciudad ya ha instalado 300 de estos puestos, que adems avisan a los tcnicos, va mensaje de texto, en caso de que una estacin necesite reparacin. Tambin habr pronto, a travs de los telfonos inteligentes, una nueva aplicacin para parqueo. La nueva aplicacin proporcionar informacin sobre parqueaderos y sitios de estacionamiento disponibles, dijo Saul Frances, Director del Departamento de Parqueo de Miami Beach. Para los residentes y visitantes que opten por conducir vehculos elctricos, hay una estacin municipal de recarga de vehculos
miamibeachfl.gov 27
que opten por conducir vehculos elctricos, hay una estacin municipal de recarga de vehculos en el parqueadero de la Calle 13 y Collins Avenue. La estacin est disponible las 24 horas y los siete das de la semana. La bicicleta es tambin un medio favorito de transporte para muchas personas en la Ciudad. Las listas del reciente Censo indican que Miami Beach es una de las diez ciudades donde ms es empleada la bicicleta para ir al trabajo. La Ciudad tiene aproximadamente 150 puestos para parquear bicicletas y se estima que para 2015 habr aproximadamente 500. El pasado noviembre, el programa DecoBike para alquiler de bicicletas lanzado en 2011, celebr sus cuatro millones de desplazamientos y un recaudo de 1.6 millones de dlares por el total de los viajes.
El Plan Maestro Atlantic Greenway Network de la Ciudad cre un carril compartido para Washington Avenue. Actualmente se est terminando una nueva va para bicicletas en Dade Boulevard, y se instalarn futuros carriles para bicicletas a lo largo de Washington Court y la Calle 22, con conexin al paseo peatonal y ciclstico (beachwalk). No veo la hora de que est terminado este proyecto [Dade Boulevard] que me har sentir mucho mejor al movilizarme en bicicleta, dijo Dania Dez, quien se desplaza por diversin, ejercicio y trabajo desde Venetian Islands hasta Collins Avenue, y no tiene vehculo propio. La ruta de Dade Boulevard crear una conexin este-oeste desde Venetian Causeway hasta Convention Center Drive. Los Segway tambin son bastante nuevos en la escena del transporte
de Miami Beach, aunque localmente operan desde hace al menos dos aos. Cada vez son ms populares entre los turistas y la gente local. Actualmente cuatro compaas alquilan Segway y ofrecen tours por la Ciudad. Recientemente, Miami Beach estableci normas para el manejo de estos aparatos, en aras de la seguridad. El Cdigo de la Ciudad prohbe que los Segway sobrepasen las ocho millas por hora o que operen en ciertos lugares, dijo Jose Gonzlez, Administrador de Transporte de Miami Beach. El Cdigo prohbe manejar estos aparatos en el interior de las vas peatonales de Collins Park y South Pointe Park, Lincoln Road Mall, y en las aceras del lado oeste de Ocean Drive. El Cdigo de la Ciudad tambin prohbe el uso de Segway en instalaciones pblicas, incluyendo el Ayuntamiento, propiedades consideradas de valor histrico de la Ciudad, estaciones de polica y de bomberos, y
parqueaderos (sean cubiertos o no), excepto si los utilizan personas con discapacidades. Las nuevas estipulaciones del Cdigo de la Ciudad tambin establecen las responsabilidades de los usuarios de Segway y de los negocios que alquilan estos equipos o realizan tours. La Ciudad est evaluando normas adicionales relacionadas con edad mnima y peso, horas de operacin y equipos. En el sitio Web de la Ciudad, miamibeachfl.gov, puede encontrarse ms informacin sobre las normas de uso de los Segway, en las secciones 70-66 y 70-71 del Cdigo de la Ciudad de Miami Beach. En general, Miami Beach est mejorando la situacin en cuanto a parqueo y los planes para un mayor transporte pblico ayudarn mucho, dijo Diez.

The homeless outreach team of Miami Beach reaches out to a homeless man at Lummus Park.
HOMELESS NOT HELPLESS

Ivette Daz The homeless are not new to South Florida. Our regions weather, the tourists and the ocean are a big attraction. According to Homeless Census conducted in August 2012, there were approximately 186 homeless persons living in the streets of Miami Beach, with about 144 in South Beach. The first thing we offer them is shelter and rehabilitation services to get them back on their feet, said Homeless Program Coordinator Katherine Martinez of the Homeless Outreach Team (HOT) at the City of Miami Beach. HOT works to reduce the number of homeless, by providing them outreach, shelter, rehab and relocation assistance services. While a good number of homeless persons accept help, many do not. The vagrants within the homeless community commit crimes and are usually repeat offenders. A new partnership between HOT and the Miami Beach Police Department (MBPD) is addressing this segment of the homeless community. MBPD assigned a full-time police officer to address aggressive panhandling, illegal camping and public drunkenness by habitual vagrants. Officer Ysidro Llamoca works with HOT and started the Habitual Misdemeanor Offenders program, with public safety as its primary focus. Llamoca networks 24/7 with HOT and helps them do outreach in South Beach, addresses vagrant issues citywide, and works closely with homeowner and merchant associations. My approach is one of dignity and compassion. For those who want and accept our assistance, we work extremely hard to get them the services they require, said Officer Llamoca. For those who repeatedly refuse services and are arrested for violating state laws, a different approach is taken. Officer Llamoca now appears in court to make sure that the vagrant enlists in a rehab program to get him/ her off the street, or tries to get a bond to keep them in jail. Before the program, our officers would sometimes arrest the same vagrant twice during a 10-hour shift, said Miami Beach Police Captain Mark Causey. Nick Kazumoff owns a restaurant on Lincoln Road. He says that while some of the homeless mind their own business, others walk by his business intoxicated, and sometimes keep customers away. They ask for money from the people at the tables; its an ugly picture overall, said Kazumoff. Herbert Hofer has been a resident on Ocean Drive for 24 years. He says his neighborhood has seen its share of problems with the homeless. Now theyre doing the job they are supposed to be doing for the neighborhood, said Hofer. We dont have the same amount of homeless in the street now; they are either in jail or have left the city, said Causey.
HOMELESS OUTREACH/pOLICE dEpARTMENT pARTNERSHIp RESULTS:

The chronic offenders have moved on to other cities. Better documentation and tracking of our vagrants and panhandlers. Less complaints from the public related to urinating in public, camping in public parks and streets. Less panhandling on Lincoln Road, 5th Street corridor, Alton Road and Ocean Drive. Fewer physical threats to the HOT team. Less public drunkenness, sleeping on sidewalks/ bus benches, bathing in the public restrooms.

Ivette Daz los casos de personas indigentes no son nuevos en el sur de la Florida. el clima de nuestra regin, los turistas y el mar son un gran atractivo. las cifras del censo indigente indicaron que haba aproximadamente 186 indigentes viviendo en las calles de Miami Beach, 144 de los cuales vivan en south Beach. lo primero que les ofrecemos es refugio y servicios de rehabilitacin para ayudarles a recuperar la capacidad de valerse por s mismos, dijo Katherine Martinez, coordinadora del programa de indigentes, del equipo de atencin a los indigentes [Homeless outreach Team, HoT] en la ciudad de Miami Beach. HoT trabaja para reducir el nmero de indigentes, brindndoles atencin, refugio y servicios de rehabilitacin y reubicacin. aunque un buen nmero de indigentes aceptan ayuda, muchos la rechazan. los vagabundos de la comunidad de indigentes cometen delitos y usualmente son reincidentes. Una nueva alianza entre HoT y el departamento de polica de Miami Beach (MBpd) est atendiendo a este segmento de la comunidad indigente. el MBpd nombr a un oficial de tiempo completo para que se ocupe de los mendigos agresivos, los campamentos ilegales y la embriaguez pblica de vagabundos habituales. el oficial Ysidro llamoca trabaja con HoT e inici el programa de infractores Habituales, centrndose en la seguridad pblica como su foco principal. llamoca trabaja en red 24/7 con HoT y les ayuda a llegar a la comunidad de south Beach y a atender casos de vagabundos en la ciudad. Trabaja adems en estrecho contacto con asociaciones de propietarios y de comerciantes. Mi enfoque se centra en la dignidad y la compasin. para quienes desean nuestra ayuda y la aceptan, trabajamos muy duro a fin de que reciban los servicios que requieren, dijo el oficial llamoca. con quienes repetidamente se niegan a recibir servicios y son arrestados por violar las leyes del estado, se adopta un enfoque diferente. el oficial llamoca va a la corte para asegurarse de que participen en un programa de rehabilitacin con el fin de evitar que vuelvan a la calle, o trata de obtener una orden para mantenerlos en la crcel. antes del programa nuestros oficiales a veces arrestaban al mismo vagabundo dos veces durante un turno de diez horas, dijo Mark causey, capitn de polica de Miami Beach. nick Kazumoff tiene un restaurante en lincoln road. dice que aunque algunos indigentes no se meten con nadie, otros caminan embriagados cerca de su negocio y a veces alejan a los clientes. piden dinero a la gente que est en las mesas, algo bastante desagradable, dijo Kazumoff. Herbert Hofer ha sido residente de ocean drive durante 24 aos. dice que su vecindario ha tenido no pocos problemas con los indigentes. ahora ellos estn haciendo el trabajo que se supone deben hacer por el vecindario, dijo Hofer. Ya no tenemos la misma cantidad de indigentes callejeros que antes; o estn en la crcel o se han ido de la ciudad, dijo el capitn causey.

BEACHWALK
MOVES FORWARD
avanza paseo peaTonal MariTiMo
Miami Beachs beachwalk is the gateway to the ocean and the beach.The beachwalk is a convenient way to explore some of our citys terrific destinations. It is the Citys vision to have the on-grade paver beachwalk run north/south along the coast as a continuous recreational path for cyclists and pedestrians. All the sections of the boardwalk eventually will be replaced with the on-grade path that supports multiple modes of alternative transportation. Through its low impact design with marine turtle friendly lighting the on-grade
path will support both the protective dune system and sea turtle nesting habitat. As upland properties redevelop along the elevated boardwalk, the City will work with them to continue the beachwalk until a seamless and continuous path is completed. A new portion of the beachwalk is currently being built from 45 to 47 streets (behind the Eden Roc), similar to the beachwalk system south of 23 Street and north of
64 Street. Access to the beach, street, and adjacent properties is being maintained for boardwalk users during construction.The project is expected to be completed this summer. The City is also currently in the planning and design phases for the beachwalk from 47 Street to 64 Street.As upland properties redevelop along the wooden boardwalk in the future, the city will work with them to continue constructing the at-grade beachwalk.
The proposed beachwalk from South Pointe Drive to 5 Street will be constructed in two phases. The first phase, South Pointe Drive to 3 Street, broke ground and construction will begin soon. Enjoy the best of Miami Beach and take a stroll on the Beachwalk.
For the seventh straight year in a row, Miami Beach has been nationally designated as a Tree City USA. The National Arbor Day Foundation, in cooperation with the National Association of State Foresters and the USDA Forest Service, recognizes communities that have proven their commitment to a healthy urban forest and aneffective urban forestry program.
