A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND THE CITY
CLERK TO EXECUTE AN AMENDMENT TO THE INTERLOCAL
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH AND MIAMI-DADE
COUNTY, FLORIDA, PERMlrnNG MIAMI BEACH PARKING

THE MIAMI-DADE COUNTY CODE, SPECIFICALLY REGARDING
VEHICLES FOR HIRE REGULATIONS.

Subject:
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
BACKGROUND
Under the provisions of the Miami-Dade County Code, Section acc, officials and
inspectors of municipalities may participate in enforcing the civil violations of the Miami-
Dade County Code. In order to participate, the City must enter into an Interlocal
Agreement with Miami-Dade County.
On Maya, 2002, the Mayor and City Commission approved Resolution No. 2002-24846,
approving an Interlocal Agreement between the City and County. This Interlocal
Agreement permits Miami Beach Police Officers to enforce the provisions of the County
Code regarding the regulations governing "For-Hire>> vehides. At present, the Miami Beach
Police Department has assumed this responsibility. The Police Department has 14 pOlice
officers assigned to its Accident Investigations Unit and Motor Squad, and utilizes these
officers to enforce the county regulations. This extra assignment will in no way detract from
the officer's regularly assigned duties; however, in order to further increase effectiveness
and efficiencies of this enforcement effort, the Administration recommends the inclusion of
the City's Parking Enforcement Specialists I and II into this enforcement effort. In order to
achieve this, the Interlocal Agreement between the City and Miami-Dade County must be
amended to include them. Once the City has approved the inclusion of Parking
Enforcement Specialists, the County will administratively include them in this initiative.
The provisions of Miami-Dade County Code acc, provide the regulations that govern
vehicles used "For-Hire". These regulations include advertising or permitting operations

without a valid, current for-hire license, permitting or authorizing any chauffeur or other
person to operate any for-hire vehicle without the vehicle's current valid operating permit
displayed, and allowing or permitting any person to operate a for-hire vehicle without
current, valid and sufficient insurance coverage.
The Interlocal Agreement is currently in its final one-year term which will expire on May 7,
2005. The Administration intends to potentially identify additional City personnel that may
also enforce the County's For-Hire vehicle regulations and provide said recommendations,
including a recommendation for renewal of the current agreement in May 2005. For
informational purposes, the Interlocal Agreement stipulates that the County receives 25%
of all fines collected to defray administrative costs for processing, hearings, etc. and the
City receives 75% of all fines collected and is reimbursed by the County annually in a lump
sum.
CONCLUSIQN
This amendment to the Interlocal Agreement will permit Miami Beach Par1<ing Enforcement
Specialists I and II to enforce the County ordinances regarding For-Hire vehicles. This will
also provide the City with revenues from the fines collected by the enforcement efforts.

Re: Interlocal Agreement between Miami-Dade County and City of Miami Beach relating to
the enforcement of for-hire regulations
Dear Mr. Aguila:
Thank you for your letter of Augus~ 26. 20q4, regarding the above subject.

While thiS couid be accomplished Ir, tne renewa: tiOa: will take place nex:year, it is m~
understanding that your Parking Department wishes to make the change during the existing
term. At our meeting, we noted that the language of the Interlocal Agreement is sufficiently
broad for the Consumer Services Department to accept these Enforcement Officers; however,
the City of Miami Beach resolution approving the Interlocal Agreement limited the City's
participation to Police Officers. Once we receive official confirmation that Parking Department
Enforcement Officers are authorized by the City to participate, we can administratively add
them.
The Interlocal Agreement augments our daily enforcement activities within the City. We look
forward to continuing the excellent relationship we have with the City of Miami Beach Police and
Parking Departments with regard to for-hire issues. Please don't hesitate to let me know if you
need additional information.
