COMMISSION ITEM SUMMARY
Condensed Title:
A Resolution of the Mayor and City Commission of the City of Miami Beach, Florida, repealing City of
Miami Beach Resolution No. 11822 which established a full time Police Athletic League Coordinator,
and Resolution No. 83-17575 which created an Executive Director to replace the Police Athletic
League Coordinator, and setting forth an effective date.
Key Intended Outcome Supported:
Insist on Police Department Accountability and Skilled Management/Leadership.
Supporting Data (Surveys, Environmental Scan, etc.):
Several safety issues received high marks in the 2014 Community Survey. Police Department
results were stable as compared to 2012. Residents felt safe during the daytime and at night,
even in commercial areas.
Item Summa /Recommendation:
The City of Miami Beach and the Police Department is committed to resolving all outstanding issues
with the Police Athletic League (PAL) and to move forward with an aggressive new effort to produce
more and better programming to benefit PAL youth in Miami Beach. Chief Oates will also work
towards increasing the participation of MBPD police officers in PAL sponsored activities. In order to
proceed with resolving the pending issues between the City of Miami Beach and the Police Athletic
League, the development of a new agreement is necessary. Prior to drafting the new agreement,
Miami Beach Resolution No. 11182 which established a full time Police Athletic League Coordinator
and Resolution No. 83-175,15 which created an Executive Director to replace the Police Athletic
League Coordinator need to be repealed.
The City of Miami Beach and the PAL Board should enter into a new agreement which addresses
issues raised in the PAL Operational Audit of September 19, 2014. The agreement would be subject
to final approval by the City Commission. The agreement would provide assurance to the PAL Board
regarding the future care and maintenance of the building at 999 11th Street that the City leases to the
PAL. It would commit the City to staffing the one full-time police officer to support the PAL in its youth
programming and would resolve any outstanding issues regarding revenues, utility costs, tax status,
management and accounting, tenant issues, fitness center operations, etc.
As part of the agreement, the City seeks to have the PAL Board hire a new Executive Director to
replace the full-time police officer assigned to this function, and that it do so no later than February 1,
2015. This position needs to be filled by a person with significant experience in non-profit
organizational management, as well as in charity fundraising.
