Memorandum

To:Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers
From:Councilmember Manny Cid
Subject:Miami Lakes Mosquito Prevention
Date:9/6/2016

Recommendation:
At our last council meeting we instructed staff to work with Miami-Dade County to spray for mosquitoes in Miami Lakes. This is a great start but I think we should take it a step further.

I would like to direct staff to organize community inspections by CERT, HOA's, or community groups, of potential mosquito breeding grounds. Staff should document these sites, contact the property owners, and forward all pertinent information to Miami Dade County. Unfortunately, the Zika virus has spread to other areas around our County and I would like to work with my colleagues to protect our residents.

Fiscal Impact: Small
