Meeting

The real mover on this agenda was not a ribbon cutting contract. It was the city declaring “zoning in progress” for development and redevelopment in the MU R, Town Center, B 1, and Business Overlay districts. That is the commission putting a regulatory hold marker on the parts of Sunny Isles Beach where redevelopment pressure lives, while it works on new rules. For owners, developers, brokers, and tenants, that is the item that changes behavior first, because it signals that projects in those districts are now being judged against an active rewrite, not a settled code. The money side was still substantial. The commission teed up a $3.52 million award to MBR Construction for the Intracoastal Sports Park, plus related construction administration, and a separate $1.17 million agreement with Advanced Green Technologies for solar panels at Government Center. Those are straightforward capital commitments: one expands public recreation infrastructure, the other locks in a municipal energy project. The city also stacked smaller park design items at Town Center Park, bought $358,400.99 in Axon tasers and a police drone unit, and moved budget amendments for both the 2023 2024 and 2024 2025 fiscal years, which is how these capital and operating shifts get made real. Everything else was mostly housekeeping with price tags: vehicles, UTVs, janitorial supplies, elevator repairs, IT equipment, and post storm emergency ratification. The sea turtle ordinance was already marked deferred, so the live policy fight on this agenda was land use, not beach operations.

Key decisions

1. Declaring zoning in progress for development and redevelopment in the MU R, Town Center, B 1, and Business Overlay districts

   Pending

   This puts the city on record that active zoning changes are underway in its core redevelopment districts, which immediately affects entitlement strategy because applicants are now dealing with a code in flux.

2. Award bid No. 24 07 01 and approve agreement with MBR Construction, Inc. to construct the Intracoastal Sports Park

   Pending

   The item authorizes up to $3,517,539.04 for construction of the Intracoastal Sports Park, converting the project from planning into a funded build contract.

3. Approve agreement with Advanced Green Technologies to furnish and install solar panels at Government Center

   Pending

   This commits up to $1,171,734.34 to a city solar installation, a capital project that shifts spending from general facilities work into energy infrastructure.

4. Approve purchase of police tasers and police drone unit from Axon Enterprises, Inc.

   Pending

   The city would spend up to $358,400.99 on police equipment, expanding technology and use of force tools rather than adding general public works assets.

5. Amend Chapter 265 definition of “height”

   Pending

   Changing the zoning code definition of height is a technical edit with outsized development consequences because it resets how future projects are measured against the code.

6. Budget Amendment No. BA2324 04 for the 2023 2024 operating and capital improvement budget

   Pending

   This amends the prior fiscal year budget, the mechanism the city uses to true up spending and capital allocations after projects and purchases have shifted.

7. Budget Amendment No. BA2425 01 for the 2024 2025 Capital Projects Fund

   Pending

   This updates the current fiscal year capital budget, which is the funding pathway for the park, facilities, and infrastructure items appearing elsewhere on the agenda.

8. Approve project agreement with Rodriguez Architects, Inc. to design a new restroom building at Town Center Park

   Pending

   The city would spend up to $51,250 on design services, moving a Town Center Park amenity from concept into the professional design phase.
