CITY MANAGERS MESSAGE CARTA DEL ADMINISTRADOR

Over the past several months, we have intensely reviewed and analyzed each departments budgets to look for efficiencies to reduce costs without affecting core Jimmy L. Morales services. We also negotiated new contracts with all of our labor unions that will provide significant pension savings over the years. As we enter this new fiscal year, I am proud to share that we have adopted a balanced budget that not only has provided tax relief to residents, but also improves services. A key community outcome is to improve our residents quality of life. Weve been able to use our supplemental funds for elder meal programs that supplant funds lost via the federal sequester. Additionally, we will implement technology upgrades to deliver quality, high-speed Wi-Fi signal to select facilities/areas rather than slow and intermittent connections citywide. We continue to maintain the citys strong financial health, while maximizing value to our residents for the tax dollars spent. General Fund budget includes $4.6 million in employee givebacks; $365,000 of additions and enhancements that are offset by $617,000 in efficiencies; brings in an additional $2 million in Resort Tax revenues to the General Fund to offset tourism-eligible expenditures; brings in an additional $1.2 million in Parking Fund surplus revenues to the General Fund, and includes modest increases in revenues. In order to continue to be a cultural, entertainment tourism capital and an international center for innovation and business, we also need to continue focusing on making Miami Beach a cleaner, safer and a more beautiful and vibrant community. We have made a commitment to hiring a manager for Lincoln Road Mall that will ensure maintenance of one our internationally recognized districts. Together, lets continue to make Miami Beach an even better place to live, work, learn and play. En los ltimos meses, hemos revisado y analizado los presupuestos de cada departamento para buscar la eficiencia para reducir costos sin afectar los servicios bsicos. Tambin negociamos nuevos contratos con todos nuestros sindicatos que proporcionen ahorros de pensiones significativos con el pasar de los aos. Al entrar en este nuevo ao fiscal, me siento orgulloso de compartir que hemos adoptado un presupuesto equilibrado, que no slo ha proporcionado alivio fiscal a los residentes, sino que tambin mejora los servicios. Un resultado clave de la comunidad es el de mejorar la calidad de vida de nuestros residentes. Hemos sido capaces de utilizar nuestros fondos suplementarios para los programas de alimentacin mayores que suplantan los fondos perdidos a travs del secuestro federal. Adems, vamos a implementar mejorar la tecnologa para ofrecer mejor calidad de Wi-Fi de alta velocidad en diferentes reas y lugares, en vez de tener conexiones lentas e intermitentes a lo largo de la ciudad. Seguimos manteniendo una fuerte solidez financiera de la ciudad, al tiempo que maximiza el valor de los dlares que los residentes pagan. El presupuesto del Fondo General incluye $4.6 millones en devoluciones de los empleados; $365,000 de las adiciones y mejoras que se compensan con $617,000 en eficiencias; trae un adicional de $2 millones en ingresos fiscales por Impuestos Hotelero (Resort Tax) al Fondo General para compensar los gastos del turismo elegibles; trae un adicional de $1.2 millones en excedente de ingresos por Impuestos de Parqueos al Fondo General, e incluye un modesto incremento en los ingresos. Con el fin de seguir siendo la capital del turismo y la cultura, as como un centro internacional para la innovacin y los negocios, tambin tenemos que seguir enfocndonos en mantener Miami Beach como una comunidad limpia, segura, bella y vibrante. Hemos hecho un compromiso de contratar un administrador para Lincoln Road Mall que se asegure de mantenerlo como uno de nuestros distritos internacionales. Juntos, vamos a continuar para que Miami Beach sea un mejor lugar para vivir, trabajar, aprender y jugar.

Doing the Right Thing!

Miami Beach Police Officer Earl Hackworth was first on the scene of a fiery car wreck over Labor Day weekend on I-95.

You just do what youre trained to do, Hackworth modestly said.

Expanding Health Services

Dr. Leslie Rosenfeld
When your child is feeling under the weather in class, you no longer need to make a mad dash to school. Health suites are now open at all Miami Beach feeder public schools. The citys nurse initiative expands access for students seeking medical attention on site, buying parents reassurance and comfort that their child is seen by a medical professional at every Miami Beach public school.
Registered Nurse Ariel Vazquez does not just hand out bandages at North Beach Elementary, he monitors medication use, refers students to specialists and helps more than 2,600 students and their teachers manage chronic conditions such as diabetes, asthma and seizure disorders. Vazquez has a team of medical assistants stationed full-time at North Beach Elementary, Treasure Island Elementary and Ruth K. Broad Bay Harbor K-8 Center.
The citys nurse initiative funded the Childrens Trust Health Connect in Our Schools (HCiOS), currently utilized in Miami-Dade County Public Schools (M-DCPS) in three Miami Beach feeder schools for the 2013-14 school year. This initiative provides a shared registered nurse, full-time medical assistant and social worker accessible to every child. The City of Miami Beach, in support of its Education
Compacts outcome to increase the health and well-being of children, along with its four neighboring municipalities, the Miami Beach Chamber Education Foundation, The Childrens Trust, M-DCPS, Florida Department of Health, Health Foundation of South Florida and many other partners, joined together to fund a HCiOS in Miami Beach schools with no on-site medical services.
care to immigrant children, especially undocumented immigrants, who otherwise have limited or no access to health care. Access to a health professional is extremely important for the wellbeing of the children in our schools, Dr. Maria Rodriguez, principal, Ruth K. Broad Bay Harbor K-8 Center said. They address the physical and medical needs of students, help fight obesity and deliver health-course content to the children and staff. Federal, state and local resources to open and operate school health suites are limited, but community partnerships like that in Miami Beach, realizing the need for such convenient healthcare services, have stepped in with the necessary resources.
This successful partnership not only fulfills the communitys desire to enhance health services to all students in the Miami Beach feeder pattern public schools, it also demonstrates a shining model for how the combined efforts of many stakeholders in a community can work together to reach a goal that benefits everyone, stated Dr. Peter Gorski, Chief Health and Child Development Officer for The Childrens Trust. Having nurses on campus sends the message that our community and schools value students being healthy. We want to reduce every possible barrier we can to learning, said Jill Swartz, Chair Committee for Quality Education. For more information, please visit the Citys website and click on the Education tab.
COMPACT UPDATE
No Place For Hate: The City of Miami Beach, in partnership with the AntiDefamation League (ADL) and all Miami Beach M-DCPS public schools, participates in the ADL No Place For Hate Initiative to enhance community appreciation of diversity and foster harmony amongst diverse groups throughout the 2013-14 school year. Information regarding school activities will be provided directly from your childs home school. Miami Beach earned the Community of Respect designation by hosting a community event and sponsoring teacher/student training. Mobile Pediatric Clinic The University of Miami Pediatric Mobile Clinic, in support of the City of Miami Beach Education Compact, will be visiting recreational facilities to provide comprehensive health care services free of charge to youth in our community who do not have medical insurance. The clinic will be open from 8:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. To make an appointment for any of the dates/times below, call 305.243.6407. North Shore Park & Youth Center | 501 72 ST October 25 November 8 & 22 December 13
Health suites have been appearing on a growing number of public school campuses as a way to reach children often missed by the health care system. Members of the Citys Committee for Quality Education say healthier children do better in school and have fewer absences. Health suites also can help reduce teen pregnancy, smoking, and alcohol use; ensure children are immunized; and contribute to fewer hospitalizations. Because we have Ariel Vazquez, RN, and Urania Flores, medical assistant, in our health suite, we are getting kids back into class quicker,
said North Beach Elementary Principal Alice Quarles. The most beneficial difference between school-based health suites and regular health care is the emphasis placed on educating children on preventive measures and the harm of engaging in risky behavior, Carol Alta V. Pierre, Borinquen Health Care Center Program Director says. Schoolbased health suites really focus on teaching kids to become responsible for their own health. Nationally, one of the most important benefits of schoolbased suites is providing health

Alexandra Moon, enfermera certificada, atiende al estudiante Paolo Luvara en la sala de salud de Treasure Island Elementary.
Usted ya no tiene que salir corriendo cuando su hijo se est sintiendo mal en clase. Ahora, todas las escuelas pblicas de Miami Beach [feeder schools] cuentan con una sala de salud. Esta iniciativa de la ciudad abre a los estudiantes la posibilidad de ser atendidos en su lugar de estudios, y les da a los padres la tranquilidad de que sus hijos sean vistos por un profesional mdico en todas las escuelas pblicas de Miami Beach. Ariel Vazquez, enfermero certificado, trabaja en la escuela North Beach Elementary y no se dedica nicamente a entregar curitas: vigila la toma de medicamentos, remite a los estudiantes a especialistas y ayuda a ms de 2,600 estudiantes y maestros a manejar enfermedades crnicas como diabetes, asma o epilepsia. Vazquez tiene un equipo de auxiliares mdicos asignados a tiempo completo en North Beach Elementary, Treasure Island Elementary y Ruth K. Broad Bay Harbor K-8 Center. Para el ao escolar 2013-2014, la iniciativa de atencin de enfermera de la ciudad ha financiado en tres escuelas de Miami Beach [feeder schools] el plan Health Connect in Our Schools (HCiOS), componente de un programa de The Childrens Trust que se utiliza actualmente en las escuelas pblicas del Condado de Miami-Dade (M-DCPS). A travs de este plan, cada nio puede tener acceso a un profesional de enfermera, un asistente mdico a tiempo completo y un trabajador social. En apoyo al objetivo de nuestro Paquete Educativo en lo que se refiere a mejorar la salud y el bienestar de los nios, la Ciudad de Miami Beach se uni a sus cuatro municipios vecinos y a numerosos socios (entre ellos: Miami Beach Chamber
Education Foundation, The Childrens Trust, M-DCPS, Florida Department of Health y Health Foundation of South Florida) para financiar un plan HCiOS en las escuelas de Miami Beach que no tenan servicios mdicos en sus instalaciones. Recientemente han ido apareciendo salas de salud en un creciente nmero de escuelas pblicas, como una manera de acercarse a nios a menudo olvidados por el sistema de salud. Miembros del Comit Municipal para la Educacin de Calidad afirman que los nios ms sanos tienen mejores resultados escolares y faltan menos al colegio. Las salas de salud tambin pueden contribuir a reducir los casos de embarazo, tabaquismo y consumo de alcohol en adolescentes, a asegurar que los chicos estn debidamente vacunados, y a disminuir el nmero de hospitalizaciones. Gracias a la ayuda de Ariel Vazquez (enfermero certificado) y de Urania Flores (asistente mdica) en nuestra sala de salud, los nios estn pudiendo volver ms pronto a clase, comenta Alice Quarles, directora de la escuela North Beach Elementary. La mayor ventaja de las salas de salud escolares en comparacin con la atencin mdica ordinaria es que se hace nfasis en educar a los chicos sobre medidas preventivas y sobre el dao que causan los comportamientos de riesgo, destaca Carol Alta V. Pierre, directora de programa de Borinquen Health Care Center. Las salas de salud escolares realmente se centran en ensear a los chicos a hacerse responsables de su propia salud. A nivel nacional, uno de los ms importantes beneficios de las salas de salud escolares es que prestan cuidado a nios
inmigrantes, especialmente los indocumentados, que de otro modo tendran un acceso nulo o limitado a la atencin mdica. Poder consultar a un profesional de salud es sumamente importante para el bienestar de los nios de nuestras escuelas, seala la Dra. Maria Rodriguez, directora de Ruth K. Broad Bay Harbor K-8 Center. Atienden las necesidades fsicas y mdicas de los estudiantes, ayudan a combatir la obesidad y entregan contenidos de salud a los chicos y el personal. Los recursos federales, estatales y locales para abrir y tener en funcionamiento salas de salud escolares son limitados. No obstante, conscientes de la necesidad de que existan estos importantes servicios de salud, alianzas comunitarias como la formada en Miami Beach han entrado a aportar los recursos requeridos. Esta exitosa alianza no solo cumple el deseo de la comunidad en cuanto a mejorar los servicios de salud para todos los estudiantes en las escuelas pblicas de Miami Beach [feeder schools], sino tambin muestra un brillante modelo de cmo los esfuerzos combinados de diversos actores de una comunidad se pueden conjugar para alcanzar una meta que beneficie a todos, declar el Dr. Peter Gorski, jefe de salud y desarrollo infantil de The Childrens Trust. El hecho de tener enfermeros en las instalaciones deja en claro que nuestra comunidad y nuestras escuelas valoran la salud de los estudiantes. Queremos reducir cualquier posible barrera al aprendizaje que podamos, coment Jill Swartz, presidente del Comit para la Educacin de Calidad.

Before breaking ground, these roadway projects solicit public input from our residents and businesses.
businesses and property owners to provide greater access to storefronts during the reconstruction phase. Community response also prompted the sidewalk on Alton Road between 7 Street and 17 Street to be built two feet wider on either side of the roadway. Community meetings will continue to be held throughout the length of these roadway improvements. Please drive safely while you navigate through work zones. Allow extra time to reach your destination and obey all posted signs and speed limits they can sometimes change daily. Be aware that workers are present in and around the construction zones.
Two major state road arteries, Alton Road and Collins Avenue, are currently under construction by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), and Miami-Dade County is working on the Pine Tree Drive Bridge. The City is working in Bayshore, South Pointe and Biscayne Point neighborhoods. Construction on Venetian Islands and Parkview Island will also soon be underway.
During construction, we continue to work with the community to minimize impacts whenever possible. With the City and contractors help, the department has been able to provide areas of free on-street parking at meters covered with white bags where its safe to park within an existing work zone on Alton Road. We want to be good neighbors during this work, said Heather Leslie, public information officer for FDOT. The scopes of these projects are often altered in response to public participation.

Dont Be Smart with Your Give Smartphone Thieves a Chance

Dolores Mejia
Safety Tips to Keep Your Smartphone and Mobile Devices Safe Be aware of your surroundings and the people around you, especially late at night or in the early morning hours. Dont text and walk, and keep eye contact with those around you. When dining out, never leave your phone out and within easy reach of passersby. Use the security features, such as a security code log-in, to protect your information from identity theft. Activate location enabling features, such as Find My iPhone/iPad and Google Places. If you are a victim of a crime, do not resist. Take mental notes of the suspects description and report the incident to police immediately. If you see a theft in progress, please call 911.
Today, it seems like everyone has a smartphone. According to the Pew Research Center, more than half of adult Americans have a smartphone, and the New York Times reported that a Eurobarometer survey of almost 1,000 children in 29 countries found most had cellphones after age nine. Yet, what most people are not aware of is that smartphones are increasingly prime targets for thieves. Apple picking, a term coined by the New York Police Department, describes a new nationwide epidemic the theft of smartphones. In 2012, 1.6 million Americans were victimized for their smart phones. This growing epidemic accounts for a majority of the robberies in our major U.S. cities. In San Francisco, 50 percent of the robberies involved a stolen mobile communications device last year. In 2012, Washington D.C.s Metropolitan Police reported smartphone theft accounted for 38 percent of their robberies, with Philadelphia Police reporting 33 percent for this type of theft. In Miami Beach, the same trend is emerging. During the first six months of the year, approximately 50 percent of all
robberies involved a stolen cellphone. We have seen a dramatic increase in robberies by sudden snatching, where smartphones are the targeted property, shared Miami Beach Robbery Squad Detective Sergeant Steven Feldman. I had no idea that iPhone thefts were so commonplace, said Ali Patino, a visitor on South Beach. Why is it so common, you may ask? Because it is very profitable for thieves. According to the Miami Beach Criminal Investigations Unit, investigations have revealed that stolen iPhones are sold on the black market for up to $300 and are many times exported to other countries. While MBPD has made several arrests, the problem persists. In August, the Miami Beach Police Department launched a public information campaign to inform residents and visitors about apple picking, but more importantly, to provide
safety tips. The best way to prevent becoming a victim of this type of crime is situational awareness. It is important that residents and visitors be aware of their surroundings at all times, especially when engaged in cellphone conversations or use, warned Sergeant Feldman. However, the most important safety tip: If you are approached by a thief, do not resist. Several cases of robberies involving smartphones across the country have involved serious injury and in some cases loss of life. Take mental notes of the suspects description
and report the incident to police immediately.
No Le Des Oportunidad a Los Ladrones

Se Inteligente con Su Telfono Inteligente
Hoy en da parece que todo el mundo tiene un telfono inteligente. Segn el Pew Research Center, ms de la mitad de adultos norteamericanos tienen un telfono inteligente, y el New York Times reporta que una encuesta de casi mil nios en 29 pases encontr que la mayora tenan telfonos celulares desde los nueve aos. Pero lo que la mayora de las personas no saben es que los telfonos inteligentes tambin son el objetivo principal para los ladrones. Apple picking, termino introducido por el departamento de polica de la ciudad de Nueva York, describe una nueva epidemia nacional el robo de telfonos inteligentes. En el 2012, 1.6 millones de norteamericanos fueron vctimas de robo por sus telfonos inteligentes. Esta epidemia creciente ya es la razn detrs de la mayora de los asaltos en las principales ciudades de los Estados Unidos. En San Francisco el ao pasado, 50 por ciento de los asaltos incluyen el robo de un dispositivo de comunicacin mvil. En el 2012, el departamento de polica de Washington D.C. report que el robo de telfonos inteligentes represent el 38 por ciento de sus robos, y la polica de Philadelphia report un 33 por ciento de este tipo de crimen. En Miami Beach, la misma tendencia est surgiendo. Durante los primeros seis meses del ao, aproximadamente 50 por ciento de todos los casos de robo implic un telfono celular robado. Hemos experimentado un aumento dramtico en robos por arrebato repentino, donde los telfonos inteligentes son la propiedad codiciada, comparti Steven Feldman, el sargento de la Escuadrilla de Robo de Miami Beach. No tena idea que los robos de telfonos iPhone eran tan comunes, dijo Ali Patio, visitante en South Beach. Y se debe preguntar, por qu tan comn? Porque es muy provechoso para los ladrones. Segn la unidad de investigaciones criminales de Miami Beach, las investigaciones han revelado que el iPhone robado se vende en el mercado negro por hasta 300$ y se exporta muchas veces a otros pases.
Consejos de seguridad para proteger su Smartphone y dispositivos mviles Est consciente de sus alrededores y la gente alrededor de usted, sobre todo tarde por la noche o temprano en la maana. No escriba mensajes de texto mientras camina, y asegrese de mantener contacto visual con las personas que lo rodean. Cuando salga a comer, nunca deje su telfono dentro de fcil alcance de los transentes. Utilice las caractersticas de seguridad, como un cdigo de seguridad de inicio de sesin, para proteger su informacin contra el robo de identidad. Active funciones de ubicacin, tales como Find My iPhone/iPad y Google Places. Si usted es la victima de un crimen, no resista. Tome notas mentales de la descripcin del sospechoso y reporte el incidente a la polica inmediatamente. Si usted ve un robo en progreso, por favor llame al 911.
Aunque el Departamento de Polica de Miami Beach ha hecho varios arrestos, el problema persiste. En agosto, el Departamento de Polica de Miami Beach lanz una campaa de informacin pblica para informar a los residentes y visitantes sobre apple picking, pero ms importante an para proporcionar consejos de seguridad. La mejor manera de evitar ser vctima de este tipo de delitos es conciencia situacional. Es importante que los residentes y visitantes sean conscientes de sus alrededores en todo momento, especialmente cuando entablando conversaciones de telfono mvil o uso, advirti el Sargento Feldman. Sin embargo, el consejo de seguridad ms importante: Si a usted se le acerca un ladrn, no resista. Varios casos de robos que implican telfonos inteligentes a travs del pas han implicado lesiones graves y en algunos casos, hasta la prdida de la vida. Tome notas mentales de la descripcin del sospechoso y relate el incidente a la polica inmediatamente.

Proper Tree Pruning for Private Property

M ar a illi kW
Miami Beach takes pride in its Tree City USA designation. Developing a healthy tree canopy is not only instrumental in keeping a safe viable environment; it makes our city more beautiful. Oftentimes, the public does not make this connection or realize all of their many benefits, said Miami Beach resident Sheryl Gold. They play a critical role in helping to mitigate global warming and flooding. While city crews maintain landscaping in public areas such as parks and medians, it is important to the overall safety of properties that trees on private property are also maintained properly. Pruning is a double-edged sword, either helping or hurting according to if, where, when, how, and why it is applied. When improperly performed, pruning can harm the trees health, stability, and appearance and make matters worse, said Dr. Ed Gilman, University of Florida, Environmental Horticulture Department. When properly executed, a variety of benefits can occur. Benefits include reducing risk of branch and stem breakage, better clearance for vehicles and pedestrians, improved health and appearance, enhanced view, and increased flowering.

Proper Pruning Cuts
Branch Bark Ridge
B C A D
Always make pruning cuts on the outside of the branch collar to avoid increasing the risk of decay. Do not leave branch stubs, living or dead. Use sharp tools designed for pruning and wear safety equipment. Homeowners should never climb a tree to prune limbs or attempt to prune limbs near overhead power lines. Never remove more than 25 percent of a trees canopy in a single pruning.
Realice los cortes de poda siempre por el exterior del cuello de la rama para evitar el riesgo de putrefaccin. No deje puntas de ramas, vivas o muertas. Use herramientas afiladas diseadas para podar, y vista elementos de seguridad. Los particulares nunca deben treparse a un rbol para cortar las extremidades de este ni tratar de podar partes cercanas al tendido elctrico. Nunca quite ms del 25% del follaje de un rbol en una sola poda.

Miami Beach se enorgullece de su designacin como ciudad arbolada de los Estados Unidos. El desarrollo de una fronda sana de rboles no slo es fundamental para mantener un medio ambiente viable y seguro, sino tambin embellece a nuestra ciudad. A menudo, la gente no asocia estas cosas o no se da cuenta de todos los beneficios, comenta Sheryl Gold, residente de Miami Beach. Los rboles son esenciales para ayudar a reducir el calentamiento global y las inundaciones. El personal municipal cuida de la ornamentacin en zonas pblicas como parques y terraplenes, pero es importante para la seguridad general de las propiedades privadas que tambin haya un buen mantenimiento de los rboles en estas. La poda de rboles es una espada de doble filo, que puede ser til o perjudicial
segn dnde, cundo, cmo y por qu se realice. Cuando se lleva a cabo de forma inadecuada, la poda puede afectar la salud, la estabilidad y el aspecto de los rboles, y puede empeorar las cosas, explica el Dr. Ed Gilman, del Departamento de Horticultura Ambiental de la Universidad de Florida. Una poda correcta de los rboles conlleva varias ventajas, entre ellas: menor riesgo de quiebre de ramas y tallos, adecuado espacio para vehculos y peatones, mejor salud y apariencia de los rboles, embellecimiento del paisaje y mejor floracin.
Poda adecuada de rboles en propiedades privadas

AFTER DESPUES
Para dar fuerza al rbol

Pode los lderes codominantes para favorecer el crecimiento de un solo lder central principal. Pode las ramas lesionadas, enfermas, entrecruzadas o muertas.
Proper Tree Pruning

Regularly scheduled tree pruning will improve tree health, control growth, and enhance fruiting, flowering and overall appearance. Step back and look at the tree to be pruned. Try to imagine what it will look like when it is going to be larger, and remember that tree limbs will increase in diameter and lengthen but will not move upward on the trunk as the tree matures. Trees should be pruned for the first time two to five years after planting, then inspected for pruning needs every five to seven years thereafter. Keep in mind that younger trees require significantly more pruning than older mature trees.
Poda adecuada de los rboles

Podar los rboles de manera peridica mejora la salud de estos, controla su crecimiento y mejora sus frutos, su floracin y su aspecto general. Aljese un poco del rbol que va a podar y obsrvelo. Trate de imaginar cmo va a ser cuando crezca, y recuerde que las extremidades de los rboles aumentan de dimetro y se alargan pero no van hacia arriba del tronco a medida que el rbol envejece. La primera poda de los rboles se debe realizar dos a cinco aos despus de plantarlos. De ah en adelante, hay que vigilar si se deben volver a podar cada cinco a siete aos. Tenga en cuenta que los rboles ms jvenes se deben podar mucho ms a menudo que los viejos.
Para dar forma al rbol:

Pode las ramas laterales sobrantes para producir un efecto de escalera cuando el rbol madure. Pode los brotes, as como los retoos que crezcan en las races. Pode las extremidades que se tuerzan hacia adentro, se entrecrucen o se extiendan.
Mtodos de poda que hay que evitar: Corte de cubierta y corte excesivo de ramas inferiores
La poda de la cubierta de los rboles causa un crecimiento excesivo de brotes de ramas dbilmente unidas, y aumenta la resistencia al viento al crear patrones de ramificacin ms densos. El corte excesivo en la parte inferior del rbol hace que la copa se vuelva demasiado pesada. Estos dos mtodos de poda aumentan el riesgo de dao causado por el viento con el paso del tiempo y deben evitarse.

SINCE YOU ASKED USTED PREGUNTO
Why is the city discontinuing the iPark service and how will we [Miami Beach residents] continue to receive a parking discount? The iPark is an in-car parking meter, manufactured by ePark, which was implemented in 2008 as an alternative payment platform for metered parking. Last year, ePark notified the City of Miami Beach of their decision to discontinue the production distribution and support of the Park Model 10, first generation. The company further advised that a second generation device termed EOS was in production and assured us a seamless transition between devices. EOS was promised to have updated technology and enhanced features making its use and operation more user friendly than its predecessor. The 10 Model had its shortcomings. Customers experienced failing liquid crystal displays caused by direct sunlight and loss of data including reload values. Subsequently, ePark the manufacturer of iPark,advised that they were discontinuing production of the 10 Model and that the EOS Model would be available as its replacement; however, it would have the same functionality as the 10 Model until such time that the enhanced features were available. Unfortunately, after only several days of sales of the new device, we had no choice but to recall the units due to software issues. All EOS units were returned to ePark for corrective action. The sale of EOS units was suspended until such time that its functionality and reliability could be vetted and resolved satisfactorily.
On August 30, ePark notified us that because of the failure of the EOS units, it can no longer support the device and that they were shutting down their operation and business. As a result, iPark users that have an active reload and balance of unused time may continue to use their device as intended. However, no further reloads will be available once the current values are exhausted. An alternative payment platform, pay-by-phone, is currently in development. From an industry perspective, pay by phone service is the next progression in technology. Pay by phone offers more flexibility than an in-car parking meter platform. These enhancements include freedom from having to purchase display or repair a device and no need to purchase reloads. Pay-by-phone subscribers, who are Miami Beach residents, will enjoy the same discounted parking meter rate in South Beach as in-car meter users. The new pay-by-phone service is expected to be operational by the first quarter of the 2014 calendar year. Why do I still need to put my receipt on the dashboard of my car when using the new pay-by-plate? The pay-by-plate parking payment option available in South Beach has not yet been fully implemented throughout the city. Therefore, parking attendants still need to check paper receipts for proper enforcement. Soon, youll be able to skip that step once the pay-byplate system has been fully implemented.
Por qu se est descontinuando el servicio de iPark y cmo [los residentes de Miami Beach] vamos a continuar recibiendo el descuento de estacionamiento? El iPark es un parqumetro interno para el carro, fabricado por ePark, el cual fue implementado en el 2008 como una plataforma alternativa de pago del parqumetro. El ao pasado ePark notific a la ciudad de Miami Beach su decisin de descontinuar la produccin, distribucin y soporte de la primera generacin del Park Modelo 10. EOS ha prometido tener la tecnologa actualizada y extender las capacidades de su uso y operacin de forma ms amigable que su predecesor. El modelo 10 tuvo algunas limitantes. Los clientes experimentaron problemas en el cristal liquido de los aparatos causados por la luz directa del sol, y la prdida de informacin, incluyendo las recargas. Subsecuentemente, ePark anunci que descontinuara el Modelo 10, y que el Modelo EOS estara disponible para su remplazo; de todas maneras este ltimo podr tener las mismas funciones que el Modelo 10 hasta que las nuevas capacidades estuviesen disponibles. Desafortunadamente, despus de slo unos das de pruebas, no hemos tenido ms remedio que recoger las unidades debido a problemas de software. Todas las unidades EOS fueron devueltas a ePark para su accin correctiva. El 30 de agosto ePark ha notificado que, debido a la insuficiencia de las unidades de EOS, ya no puede soportar el dispositivo, y de que est cerrando sus operaciones.
Como resultado, los usuarios de ePark que tienen an activa la recarga, o no han utilizado el tiempo, pueden continuar utilizando su dispositivo como de costumbre. Sin embargo, no habr ms recargas despus que los valores actuales se agoten. Una alternativa de pago, pague-por-telfono (pay-by-phone), est desarrollndose en estos momentos. Desde la perspectiva de la industria, el servicio de pay-by-phone es el siguiente paso de evolucin en tecnologa. Pay-by-phone ofrece ms flexibilidad que la plataforma de in-car parking. Estos avances incluyen la libertad de no tener que comprar por una pantalla, o tener que reparar un dispositivo para comprar recargas de tiempo. Los suscriptores de pay-by-phone, residentes de Miami Beach, podrn gozar del mismo descuento en las tarifas de parqumetros en South Beach que el otorgado a los usuarios de in-car meter. El nuevo servicio de pay-by-phone se espera estar operando en el primer trimestre del ao calendario 2014. Por qu necesito seguir colocando mi recibo de compra en el tablero de mi auto cuando uso el nuevo pay-by-plate? La opcin de pago mediante pay-by-plate disponible en South Beach no ha sido totalmente implementada a travs de la ciudad. Por eso, los empleados que vigilan los parqueos necesitan seguir corroborando que los recibos estn colocados correctamente. Pronto, tambin podr evitar este paso una vez que pay-by-plate sea implementado totalmente.
