TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager
DATE: January 11, 2017
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, ON
BEHALF OF THE MIAMI BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT, TO ACCEPT A
DONATION OF A KAWASAKI TERYX 4X4 OFF-ROAD VEHICLE FROM

RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
ANALYSIS
The City of Miami Beach has beautiful public parks and beaches that attract millions of visitors
each year to the City. The Miami Beach Police Department (MBPD) therefore requires the
capability for officers to undertake general patrol and to respond to emergencies both on the
beaches and in the parks. Regular police vehicles do not provide this capability. The City has
previously purchased a number of off-road vehicles to address this gap. The vehicles have
proved to be highly successful in providing suitable transportation for officers.
Mango's Tropical Cafe, located at 900 Ocean Drive, Miami Beach, has graciously offered to
donate a Kawasaki Teryx 4x4 off-road vehicle, valued at approximately $10,000, to the MBPD.
The vehicle would further enhance the MBPD's capability to undertake general patrol and to
respond to emergencies. The title will be vested unconditionally in the City.
CONCLUSION
The donated vehicle will help to enhance public safety.
KEY INTENDED OUTCOMES SUPPORTED
Enhance Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The vehicle will be donated at no cost, however it will need to be retrofitted to make it fully
operational for law enforcement purposes. The estimated cost of the retrofit is $2,200 which will
be found within the 2016/17 budget.
