Legal downed please donot destroy! MIAa91ERALD I MONDAY MIR 1104 FROM PAGE IA FLOOD many of our residents are still reeling financially from its impacts." In the statement, Cape Coral Mayor John Gunter called the move a "uni- lateral decision" by FEMA that harms his city's resi- dents and asked for it to be reversed. "The timing of this decision after commu- nity suffered a devastating Category 5 hurricane is cyst wrong. Make no mis- take — FEMA is the villain in this nightmare," he wrote. The rollback affects more than 115,000 hol- ders of flood insurance policies in Lee County, Cape Coral, Fort Myers Beach, Estero and Bonita Springs. According to FEMA data, the average policy holder could see a S300 annual increase to their flood insurance pre - urn starting Oct 1. Each of the communi- ties had a 25% discount on flood insurance policies, except for Estero, which had a 20% discount Col- lectively, FEMA said, the discounts saved the com- munity tens of millions of dollars a year. Those are now gone, with no chance to earn them back until at least April 2026. The problem, FEMA said, centers on how many hones were destroyed by the storm and what hap- pened to them afterward. To stay in the national flood insurance program, communities must agree to a few ground odes. One is that if a storm causes damage worth at least 50% of the value of a property — known as sub- stantial damage — it must be tom down and built up to the newest building codes. That's an expensive proposition that most Floridians struggling in the wake of a storm's devas- tation are eager to avoid, but the rule is designed to keep properties in harms way safe and to ensure the federal government isn't stuck footing the bill to rebuild them again and again. After Hurricane Ian struck in 2022, some com- munities in Southwest Florida were quick to try to find ways to help residents void rebuilding, and thus, elevating, their properties. Cape Coral, one of the unities losing its flood insurance discount, rolled back some of its stricter rules around re- building to help residents avoid hitting that 50% line. Lee County, also target- ed in the rollback, had a messy, public argument with FEMA when it tried to change the calculation to get to 50% to vise the value of some of its prop- erties, helping more resi- dents avoid elevating. Lee County won that argu- ment, according to reporting by the News -Press. But the news about flood insurance rates, delivered late Thursday, came as a shock to the communities, they said in the news release. "FEMA has provided no written notification or documentation outlining any speck details that would lead to this sudden rating change, which would take effect Oct. 1," the statement read. The Miami Herald re- quested comment from each municipality on Thursday, as well as from the state's Division of Emergency Management, but none replied. FEMA said the problems began shortly after the storm, when federal teams visited the communities hit the hardest and looked at the properties they thought were most likely to be substantially dam- aged, including older homes built in Flood zones, some with previous Flood damage. "What the team found, unfortunately, is there was a lot of unpennitted work, lack of documentation," said Robert Samaan, the regional administrator for FEMA's Region 4, in- cluding Florida. "It was just a failure to properly monitor the activity in the special flood hazard area." He said the communi- ties could not or did not provide FEMA with the number of homes that were substantially dam- aged by Hurricane Ian and the number properly ele- vated to the new code. FEMA shared with the Herald three letters it Sent Lee County in 2023— one in February, one in June and one in December — Omni OMNI REDEVELOPMENT DISTRICT COMMUNITY REDEVELOPMENT AGENCY PLEASE ALL TAKE NOTICE that a Board of Commissioners Meeting of the Omni Redevelopment District Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) is scheduled to take place on Thursday, April 11, 2024, at 9:30 a.m. or thereafter at the Miami City Hall, located at 3500 Pan American Drive, Miami, Florida 33133.

The December letter specifically requested the status of 590 properties before Ian. 12, noting that the county would other- wise lose its flood dis- counts. FEMA informed Lee County about the loss of discounts on Thursday. "Nobody wanted to get to this point, but unfortu- nately this is where we're at with this," said Samaan, the FEMA regional admin- istrator. If Lee and the other municipalities don't proac- tively work with FEMA to address these issues, he said, they could be kicked out of the flood insurance program altogether. Each policyholder would have to pay a S50 surcharge, and no new flood insur- ance policies could be FEMA SHARED WITH THE HERALD THREE LETTERS IT SENT LEE COUNTY IN 2023 ASKING FOR INFORMATION ON THE NUMBER OF DAMAGED HOMES AND WARNING OF A LOSS OF FLOOD INSURANCE DISCOUNTS. written for the area. Disas- ter assistance after a hurri- cane would also be Limit- e d. "We're not putting them on probation just yet," Samoan said. "What fol- lows is we'll be working with these communities. H they do their remediation plan, if they work with us, if they fix the deficiencies, then they do not have to be put on NFIP proba- tion." It could be a long road to getting the discounts back. Jason Hunter, the chief of the Floodplain Manage- ment and Insurance Branch of FEMA's region 4, said the earliest the communities could get back into the discount program, the community rating system, would be April 2026. The system gives out heftier and hef- tier discounts to communi- ties that go above and beyond the basic building code to protect their com- munities from floods. Cities do things like offer flood maps on their websites, design better stormwater protection systems or provide cus- tomised flood -risk data to residents to earn points toward a discount. Miami - Dade County recently eamed a Class 3 rating, which is on a scale from 1 to 10, earning its 100,000 policyholders a 35% dis- count. Pinellas County now leads the state with a Clam 2 rating, earning a 40% discount for its policy - holden starting April 1. In Lee County and the other four municipalities, their rating dropped to a 10 — a 0% discount. The city of Bonita Springs has spent years complying with the FEMA CRS Program successfully, Mayor Rick Steinmeyer said in the news release. "After being devastated by multiple hurricanes in recent years, the impact of this decision would be damaging to our residents. Our residents deserve the opportunity to appeal the decision. To withhold the option Man appeal is unacceptable," he wrote.

MONDAY M411112024 I MIAMI HERA,J IA `I should've asked for a lawyer': How police in Broward made arrest in sexual assault of child GaeT6t1 AGmu emrmnepwaeeaseel/Lem A Broward County man is facing a slew of charges after admitting to sexually assaulting a 10-year-old girl, police say. On Wednesday, Pem- broke Park police got a call from a hospital about a girl who came in reporting a sexual battery. The follow- ing day, officers went to apnrtrnent in the 3700 block of Southwest 52nd Avenue to meet with 37- year-old Nivenson Salaam. hail records indicate that San n n faces more than 20 charges, including unxual assault of a person der 12, battery of a child and possession of child to stop and urged him not sexual material. to "do it" Sanarin agreed to speak The confession came with investigators — and after officers duped him admitted to kissing and into believing that the girl sexually assaulting the secretly recorded video of child, a relative of his him engaged in sexual girlfriend according to activity with a cellphone police. He provided intim. that she stole from school, ate details of his actions, according to an arrest also stating that the girl report. told him "no," asked him While questioned, San - Lin told investigators he knew it was "not normal to touch a minor" but said he "loses control," the report states. He said he couldn't recall how puny times the sexual abuse had occurred. The girl told police she was sexually assaulted more than five times, according to the report. She also said Saturn forced her to take inappro- priate photos on his cell. phone, which police later seized As police peppered him with questions, Sarazin paused, taking time to respond because he was "thinking of the decisions I've made," the report say! Before refusing to an.swer more questions, he said: "1 should've just asked for a lawyer." Grakel Agui/a: @GrethelAguda FROM PAGE 1A CLEAN CANALS fluffy and colorful celosia instead? That's exactly what Florida International University researchers are trying to do, and so far their tests have shown promising results. "We saw that the bigger the pants grew, the clean- er the water got," said Jazmin Locke -Rodriguez, a postdoctoral associate at the Institute of Environ- ment at FILL "And we think our research is abso- lutely scalable." Wetlands area defining feature of South Florida's ecosystem in the Ever- glades, and free-floating native pants like duck- weed and water hyacinth falter out the nitrogen and supply oxygen to the wa- ter. But as wetlands dis- appear because of devel- opment, one of the Earth's best natural clatters goes with it, Locke -Rodriguez said. Scientists across the globe have been experi- menting with "floating wetlands," man-made rafts housing native plants that improve the water quality and help restore life to the ecosystem. In Central Florida, the state and federal government have poured millions into stormwater treatment uwide swaths of bamerged pants that clean the dirty water flow- ing oil fake Okeechobee. Researchers say these nature -based solutions are necessary, especially as climate change is warning the water. When storms occur, the water that passes through farms and yards catches the poop and fertilizer and whatever else and brings it into the canal. This can cause algae blooms, which can then cause fish kills. Make it hotter, which climate change is doing, and there are even worse effects. "As we are dealing with climate change, the pollu- tmts are getting into the waterways. These Boating devices meet all ecolog- ical, environmental and economic ways of treating the problem sustainably," said Krish layachandran, an FIU professor of agroe- cology and the project's advise It's important to main- ain the floating wetlands for them to hold onto that value. Most of the man- made floaters use wetland pants, and research has found that they need to be routinely harvested or the pants die oil, sine in the water, and rot — returning the nutrients they sucked up to where they got them. But unlike in the Ever- glades stormwater treat- ment areas, this team has vnovel use for the har- sted pants: selling them. "1f it's important to harvest these plants reg- ularly, and obviously it an be labor intensive, why don't we make use of the harvest? Which caused me to look for things that have value to grow," Locke -Rodriguez said. So that's why they chose to grow what looks like Easter Rowers you'd see fresh -cut at a flower mar- ket stand. If it all goes to pan, their project wouldn't only pay for itself but also be a part of a profit -making business in the largest import city for ornamental Bowers in the world. "Miami is the place for the flower industry, and year-round we can grow these and make an in- co me," layachandran said. Locke -Rodriguez found- ed a startup th thi 'd in mind called Green Thumb Strategies: PhytoFlon, which has support from the entrepre- neur the Sea. Worthy Collective. Their idea was inspired by float- ing farm practices lice the Aztecs' chinampas in Mexico and the Miccosukee tree island settlements in Florida. The in -field test site was set up for 10 weeks in the canals. The flowers were first grown in a nursery and then transferred on a buoyant mat platform called a Beemat. The vrxm canteen. Me Petrie Marigolds growing in a lest pool at Florida International University. Beemat has rows of plant- ing holes, and the plant's roots protrude out the bottom, long, clumped and stringy like moss. "That team can grow as we grow, which I also think is an exciting oppor- tunity to create green jobs," Locke -Rodriguez said. MORE TESTING TO DO There is still a winding path ahead in determining the best flowers and float- ing platforms to use and getting county support to pl y th . A d th are still some kinks the team Is trying to work out, too. For instance, finding the right spot for the project. The team found that the Coral Gables canal was too salty forte Bowers to grow. And in the Little River canal, where the researchers did find some fresh water, iguanas took their petals as a tasty snack before the flowers could fully bloom — so they might try adding a net Of sorts next time.
