A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, URGING THE FLORIDA LEGISLATURE TO
PROVIDE FUNDING FOR THE ASSISTANT STATE ATTORNEYS
EMPLOYED AT THE MIAMI-DADE COUNTY STATE ATTORNEY'S OFFICE,
AND THE ASSISTANT PUBLIC DEFENDERS EMPLOYED AT THE MIAMI-
DADE COUNTY PUBLIC DEFENDER'S OFFICE, INCLUDING A SALARY
INCREASE, .A COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT, AND A LOCALITY PAY
DIFFERENTIAL IN ORDER TO SUPPORT THE HIRING AND RETENTION
OF QUALIFIED AND EXPERIENCED ATTORNEYS, TO COMPENSATE FOR
THE HIGH COST OF LIVING IN MIAMI-DADE COUNTY RELATIVE TO THE

FLORIDA SENATE, THE SPEAKER OF THE FLORIDA HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES, AND MEMBERS OF THE MIAMI-DADE COUNTY
STATE LEGISLATIVE DELEGATION.
WHEREAS, a community's well-being depends on the proper functioning and staffing of
all pillars of the criminal justice system, including the Miami -Dade County State Attorney's Office
and the Miami -Dade County Public Defender's Office; and
WHEREAS, typically due to unacceptably low salaries, Assistant State Attorneys ("ASAs")
and Assistant Public Defenders ("APDs") in Miami -Dade County continue to leave public service
faster than they can be trained and replaced; and
WHEREAS, the mass exodus and inability to adequately fill the vacancies has created
serious staffing problems which impact the criminal justice system and adversely affect the
residents of Miami -Dade County; and
WHEREAS, ASAs and APDs are, unquestionably, the primary voices speaking for crime
victims, witnesses, criminal defendants and the community at -large in all felony and misdemeanor
courts; and
WHEREAS, as of recently, the Miami -Dade County State Attorney's Office has
approximately 100 vacant prosecutor positions, and these numbers increase as potential hires
and trial -experienced lawyers are lured away by much higher salaries offered by other public
agencies and civil law firms; and
WHEREAS, a recent study released by U.S. News & World Report found that Miami is
now the second most expensive city in which to live in the United States; and
WHEREAS, home values in Miami -Dade County rose by 18.8% since last year, while the
average price for the rental of a one -bedroom apartment in Miami is upward of $2,200 per month;
and
WHEREAS, the average law student graduates with $160,000 in student debt; and
WHEREAS, ASAs and APDs are being tasked to manage overwhelming caseloads
exacerbated by the pandemic -caused backlog while dealing with the stress of making financial
ends meet; and
WHEREAS, many high-level and complex cases in Miami -Dade County are being thrust
upon prosecutors who have less experience than necessary to effectively prosecute these cases,
and a significant number of prosecutors handling attempted murder, rape, kidnapping, and armed
robbery cases have less than three years' experience and have tried fewer than 10 felony cases;
and
WHEREAS, this on -going crisis, in which criminal defendants may not be appropriately
prosecuted and/or defended, creates a serious impediment in the administration of justice in
Miami -Dade County with a ripple effect that can easily reach throughout the State of Florida and
beyond; and
WHEREAS, although the Florida Legislature, as part of the General Appropriations Act
for FY 2022-2023, provided all ASAs and APDs in the State with a $5,000 - $10,000 pay increase,
the Miami -Dade County State Attorney's Office and Miami -.Dade County Public Defender's Office
continue to struggle recruiting and retaining both attorneys and staff; and
WHEREAS, the Florida Legislature has recognized Miami -Dade County's extremely high
cost of living and provides employees of other state agencies, including Florida Highway Patrol
("FHP") troopers and Florida Department of Law Enforcement ("FDLE") agents, with a $5,000
area pay adjustment; and
WHEREAS, the Federal government recognizes that jurisdictions like Miami have
unusually high costs of living and provides their employees with a 23.8% locality adjustment; and
WHEREAS, supporting the individuals who truly make the criminal justice system run
should be a priority budget appropriation for the Florida Legislature, the Governor and civic
leadership throughout the State of Florida.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT DULY RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, that the Mayor and City
Commission of the City of Miami Beach, Florida, hereby urge the Florida Legislature to provide
funding for the he
State Attorneys employed at the Miami -Dade County State Attorney's
Office, and the Assistant Public Defenders employed at the Miami -Dade County Public Defender's
Office, including a salary increase, a cost of living adjustment, and a locality pay differential in
order to support the hiring and retention of qualified and experienced attorneys, to compensate
for the high cost of living in Miami -Dade County relative to the rest of the State of Florida; and
directing the City Clerk to send a copy of this Resolution to the President of the Florida Senate,
the Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives, and members of the Miami -Dade County
State Legislative Delegation.
