Dear Friends and Neighbors:
Last week, my fellow Commissioners and I instructed the City Manager
and Attorney to respond to the Miami Herald's misleading and
damaging May 16th article regarding king tides and our flood mitigation
system. The following letter was sent to the Executive Editor of the
EFTA00710647
Miami Herald: http://bit.do/LetterTo-Aminda-Gonzalez
We took this step because the article misrepresented the facts about
our City's efforts to address flooding and protecting the environment
and caused undue challenges to our commitment to maintain public
health and safety.
Further, the inaccuracies in the article wrongly paints a picture for our
visitors and residents which could harm our City's vibrant tourism
economy and reduce public confidence in our anti flooding mitigation
measures.
The fact is the City's waters remain swimmable and meet the
requirements of our National Pollution Discharge Elimination System
as prescribed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and
Florida's Department of Environmental Protection.
My colleagues and I appreciate that protecting our bay is critically
important and an issue that affects the broader South Florida
community. It is imperative that our community receives accurate and
truthful information and is able to continue leading by example for the
benefit of all.
Thank you,
Mayor Philip Levine
