ENCLOSURES (For Commission Meeting
of February 27, 1986)
It is recommended that a Resolution be
adopted authorizing the City Manager
to proceed with a request for funds
from the Florida Inland Navigation
District to stabilize the shoreline of
City -owned property located at three
locations along the Miami River and
one location on Biscayne Bay on a
maximum 50/50 matching fund basis;
agreeing to abide by certain criteria
set forth by the Florida Inland
Navigation District Board of
Commissioners.
The Florida Inland Navigation District (FIND) is composed of the
11 coastal counties, including Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, Duval,
Brevard, Volusia, St. Lucie, Martin, Indian River, St. Johns and
Flagler Counties. The FIND board is comprised of one Governor -
appointed Commissioner for each county; Dade County is
represented by Mr. Stanley Goodman. Recent legislative authority
has increased FIND's powers and it may now participate financially
or otherwise in the following programs:
* Projects authorized and undertaken by the U.S. Army
Corps of Engineers.
* Beach renourishment projects providing that the
dredging of beach renourishment material is a
benefit to public navigation in the District.
* Local government projects in planning and carrying
out public navigation, public recreation and
boating safety projects, whether waterway -wide or
of a purely local nature.

Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Commission
(Cont.'d)
* Local, State or Federal research, study or test
programs relating to waterway construction, use,
operation, or maintenance, or relating to wildlife,
wildlife habitat, fisheries, water quality,
vegetation erosion, accretion or similar
environmental issues and values.
FIND's primary source of revenue has been the ad valorem taxing
power of up to .10 mil in each of the district's 11 counties.
From 1928-1970 the District collected $4.95 million from Dade
County ad valorem taxes. The District has purchased over 1,100
acres of land adjacent to the intercoastal waterway, however, no
land has ever been purchased in Dade County.
The District currently has $3.5 million in funds which will be
used to finance water -related projects on a 50/50 matching grant
basis. If the District elected to reenact the tax which was last
collected in 1970, it could raise up to $12 iillion per year.
CURRENT FIND PROGRAM
In order to appropriate the funds currently available to FIND, the
District has asked the 11 member counties to submit project
applications by March 1, 1986. The District has also established
the following priorities to assist counties in their applications.
In descending order, they are:
* in-house expenditures
* acquisition of spoil island
* maintenance of existing properties
* new improvements to navigation
* 'recreation
The City of Miami received notice in .January, 1986 that the
Florida Inland Navigation District is receiving proposals from
municipalities and counties for various types of improvements to
waterways.
