RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
The City of Miami Beach applies for various grants and funding allocations from external agencies
and organizations. Information regarding the projects and funding sources is included in the
Analysis section of this Agenda Item.
ANALYSIS
1. U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) through Miami -Dade Sherrifs Office, Operation
Stonegarden Program in the approximate amount of $20,000 for border protection operations.
The Miami -Dade Sherrifs Office received a funding allocation from the FY 2024 Homeland
Security Grant Program for the DHS Operation Stonegarden (OPSG) program. The OPSG
program is a joint effort between state, local, tribal, territorial, and federal law enforcement
agencies to secure the United States borders. City of Miami Beach receives a portion of these
funds each year through a subaward agreement with the County.
The City administration is accepting a grant in the approximate amount of $20,000 for OPSG
activities. The grant helps to fund the overtime operations of officers working to patrol international
borders including travel corridors. No matching funds are required.
2. Florida Department of Health through Miami -Dade County, Emergency Medical Services (EMS)
County Disbursement FY 2025-2030 in the approximate amount of $32 000 for EMS pre -hospital
care.
457 of 2461
EMS County Disbursements are distributed to counties and are subsequently distributed to
municipalities involved in EMS pre -hospital care. Municipalities sign a five-year Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU), approving a quarterly disbursement that is calculated from emergency call
volume data.
The City administration is accepting a grant in the approximate amount of $32,000 for EMS pre -
hospital care services. The funding will be used by the Fire Department to support EMS equipment
and operations. The allocation for the first quarter, based on the annual EMS call volume, is
approximately $1,600. While this number will be re -calculated and may vary over the remaining
five-year MOU, the total allocation is estimated to be approximately $32,000. No matching funds
are required.
3 U.S. Department of Justice through Office of Attorney General Victims of Crime Act (VOCA)
Grant Program in the approximate amount of $450 000 for salaries and benefits.
VOCA is a grant reimbursement program designed to support the provision of services to victims
of crime. Services are defined as those efforts that respond to the emotional and physical needs
of crime victims, assist victims of crime to stabilize their lives after victimization, assist victims to
understand and participate in the criminal justice system, and provide victims of crime with a
measure of safety and security.
The City administration is applying for a grant in the approximate amount of $450,000 for the
salaries and benefits of five victim services advocate positions. The grant covers 75% of the cost
to fund these positions. No matching funds are required.
