|
| | | | | | | | HISTORY:
| At its February 21, 2024 meeting, the City Commission approved a referral to the Finance and Economic Resiliency Committee to discuss enhancing and expanding sanitation and code compliance efforts for FY 2025 in residential and commercial areas, to ensure all areas in Miami Beach are clean and sanitary. |

| | | | | | | | ANALYSIS:
| The Public Works Sanitation Division works diligently to maintain the cleanliness of the City, with additional focus on hotspots, and high trafficked areas such as the MXE. Services include pressure washing on a rotating basis and litter removal services are provided daily, high impact weekends and special events. The team also responds to Egov complaints, phone calls, and interdepartmental requests for pressure washing services.
PROPOSED SANITATION EFFORTS FOR FY 2025:
The enhancement of sanitation efforts in residential and commercial areas would require the hiring of an additional twelve (12) full-time staff, distributed equally over the south, mid and north beach respectively, and an increase in pressure washing equipment and head count for a twice-a-year service. Estimated costs are:
