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 INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE
CITY OF MIAMI BEACH AND MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA,
PERMITTING MIAMI BEACH POLICE OFFICERS TO ENFORCE
PROVISIONS OF 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.
This Interlocal Agreement will permit Miami Beach Police Officers to enforce the provisions
of the County Code regarding the regulations governing "For-Hire" vehicles. At present,
there is no enforcement by the County due to the workload. The Miami Beach Police
Department is willing to assume this responsibility. The Police Department has 14 police
officers assigned to its Accident Investigations Unit and Motor Squad, and will utilize these
officers to enforce the county reg ulations. This extra assig nment will in no way detract from
the officer's regularly assigned duties.
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 will become effective when signed and will be in effect for a
period of one year. The Agreement will be automatically renewed for two successive
periods of one year each. Either party may terminate the agreement within 60 days of the
renewal date. The Interlocal Agreement also provides that the County will receive 25% of
all fines collected to defray administrative costs for processing, hearings, etc.; the City will
receive 75% of all fines collected and will be reimbursed by the County annually in a lump
sum.
CONCLUSION
This Interlocal Agreement will permit Miami Beach Police Officers to enforce the County
ordinances regarding For-Hire vehicles that are currently not being enforced. This will also
provide the City with revenues from the fines collected by the enforcement efforts.

informing that person of its contents. If such service cannot be effected, the civil violation notice may be sent by
certified mail, return receipt requested, or by posting of the civil violation notice in a conspicuous place on the
premises or real property upon which the violation has been observed. Such posting of the civil violation shall be

violation penalties.

Sec. 8CC-4. Civil penalties and related terms construed.
(a) Penalties for violations of the ordinances to be enforced by this chapter shall be in the amount prescribed in
the schedule of civil penalties in Section 8CC-10.
(b) An "uncorrectable violation" is a violation which cannot be remedied after the violation has been committed
because the violation constitutes a single prohibited act rather than an ongoing condition or circumstance. Each
reoccurrence of an uncorrectable violation shall constitute a separation violation and shall subject the violator to
an additional penalty in the same amount as that prescribed for the original violation. If, however, a violator has
been once found guilty of an uncorrectable violation, and causes the same uncorrectable violation to occur a
second time, each reoccurrence of the uncorrectable violation by such violator shall constitute a "repeat violation"
as provided in Section 8CC-4(d).
(c) "Continuing violations" are those violations which remain uncorrected beyond the reasonable time period for
correction contained in either the civil violation notice or the final order of the Hearing Officer, whichever is
applicable. For each day of continued violation after the time for correction has run, an additional penalty in the
same amount as that prescribed for the original violation shall be added. The maximum total penalty for anyone
(1) continuing violation shall be fixed at twenty (20) times the original penalty amount.
(d) A "repeat violation" is a recurring violation of an ordinance by a violator who has previously been guilty of
the same violation within the last five (5) years. In the case of correctable violations, a repeat violation can occur
only after correction of the previous violation has been made. For the first repeat violation, the amount of the civil
penalty shall be double the amount of penalty prescribed for the original violation by Section 8CC-10. The amount
of civil penalty due for each subsequent repeat violation shall be double the amount of penalty due for the first
day of the immediately preceding violation, provided that the maximum penalty payable for the first day of any
one (1) repeat violation shall be one thousand dollars ($1000.00).
(e) A repeat violation which remains uncorrected beyond the time prescribed for correction in the civil violation
notice shall be treated as a continuing violation, and the additional penalty for each day of continued violation
shall be equal to the doubled amount due for the first day of the repeat violation.
(f) Continuing violation penalties shall accrue from the date of correction given in the civil violation notice until
the correction is made and payment of the fine is received if a request for administrative hearing is not timely filed.
If the named violator requests an administrative hearing on a correctable violation and loses his appeal, the
Hearing Officer shall determine a reasonable time period within which correction of the violation must be made,
based on the considerations set forth in Section 8CC-3(d). If correction is not made within the period set by the
Hearing Officer, continuing violation penalties shall begin after the time for correction has run. No continuing
violation penalties shall accrue during the time period from the date of the civil violation notice until the date of the
administrative hearing, if the named violator timely requests an administrative hearing to appeal the decision of
the Code Inspector. Continuing violation penalties cannot be imposed by the Hearing Officer for uncorrectable
violations.
(g) Civil penalties assessed pursuant to this chapter are due and payable to Miami-Dade County on the last
day of the period allowed for the filing of an appeal from the Hearing Officer's decision, or, if proper appeal is
made, when the appeal has been finally decided adversely to the named violator.

Sec. 8CC-5. Rights of violators; pay Lent of fine; right to appeal; failure to pay and
correct, or to appeal.
(a) A violator who has been served with a civil violation notice shall elect either to:
(1) Pay the civil penalty in the manner indicated on the notice, and correct the violation within the time
specified on the notice (if applicable); or
(2) Request an administrative hearing before a Hearing Officer to appeal the decision of the Code
Inspector which resulted in the issuance of the civil violation notice.
(b) Appeal by administrative hearing of the notice of violation shall be accomplished by filing a request in
writing to the address indicated on the notice, within the time limit stipulated in the specified Code Section which
is enforced pursuant to the provisions of this chapter, or no later than twenty (20) calendar days after the service
of the notice, whichever is earlier.
(c) If the named violator after notice fails 'to pay the civil penalty and correct the violation within the time
specified (if applicable), or fails to timely request an administrative hearing before a Hearing Officer, the Hearing
Officer shall be informed of such failure by report from the Code Inspector. If the named violator pays the civil
penalty for a correctable violation but does not correct that violation within the time specified, each day that the
violation continues beyond such specified time shall constitute a continuing violation. Failure of the named violator
to appeal the decision of the Code Inspector within the prescribed time period shall constitute a waiver of the
violator's right to administrative hearing before the Hearing Officer. A waiver of the right to administrative hearing
shall be treated as an admission of the violation and penalties may be assessed accordingly.

the matter down for hearing on the next regularly scheduled hearing date or as soon thereafter as possible or as
mandated in the specified Code Section which is enforced pursuant to this chapter.
(b) The Hearing Officer shall send a notice of hearing by first class mail to the named violator at his last known

him.
(9) Notice that requests for continuances will not be considered if not received by the Hearing Officer at
least ten (10) calendar days prior to the date set for hearing.
(c) The Hearing Officers shall call hearings on a monthly basis or upon the request of the Clerk of the Board of

for such continuance, is received in writing by the Hearing Officer at least ten (10) calendar days prior to the date
set for the hearing.
(e) All hearings of the Hearing Officer shall be open to the public. All testimony shall be under oath. Assuming
proper notice, a hearing may proceed in the absence of the named violator.
(f) The proceedings at the hearing shall be recorded and may be transcribed at the expense of the party

(g) The Clerk of the Board of County Commissioners shall provide clerical and administrative personnel as may
be reasonably required by each Hearing Officer for the proper performance of his duties.
(h) Each case before a Hearing Officer shall be presented by the County Manager or his designee.
(i) The hearing need not be conducted in accordance with the formal rules relating to evidence and witnesses.
Any relevant evidence shall be admitted if the Hearing Officer finds it competent and reliable, regardless of the
existence of any common law or statutory rule to the contrary.
0> Each party shall have the right to call and examine witnesses; to introduce exhibits; to cross-examine
opposing witnesses on any matter relevant to the issues even though that matter was not covered in the direct
examination; to impeach any witness regardless of which party first called him to testify; and to rebut the evidence
against him.
(k) The Hearing Officer shall make findings of fact based on evidence of record. In order to make a finding
upholding the Code Inspector's decision, the Hearing Officer must find that a preponderance of the evidence
indicates that the named violator was responsible for the violation of the relevant Section of the Code as charged.

(I) If the named violator is found guilty of the violation, he shall pay the reasonable costs of the administrative
hearing and the costs and expenses of the County for investigation, enforcement, testing, or monitoring. The
costs and expenses of the County for investigation, enforcement, testing, or monitoring shall be calculated and
submitted to the Hearing Officer, to be attached to the final order for amount owed, in standard format as
prescribed by departmental administrative orders of the County Manager. All costs of enforcement shall be paid
within thirty (3D) days of the date of the administrative hearing unless an alternate timeframe is established by the
department.
(m) The fact-finding determination of the Hearing Officer shall be limited to whether the violation alleged did
occur and, if so, whether the person named in the civil violation notice can be held responsible for that violation.
Based upon this fact-finding determination, the Hearing Officer shall either affirm or reverse the decision of the
Code Inspector as to the responsibility of the named violator for the Code violation. If the Hearing Officer affirms
the decision of the Code Inspector, the Hearing Officer, pursuant to Section 8CC-4{f), shall determine a
reasonable time period within which correction of the violation must be made, provided however, that such time
period shall be no more than thirty (3D) days. If the Hearing Officer reverses the decision of the Code Inspector
and finds the named violator not responsible for the Code violation alleged in the civil violation notice, the named
violator shall not be liable for the payment of any civil penalty, absent reversal of the Hearing Officer's findings
pursuant to Section 8CC-8(a). If the decision of the Hearing Officer is to affirm, then the following elements shall
be included:
(1) Amount of civil penalty.
(2) Administrative costs of hearing.
(3) Date by which the violation must be corrected to prevent imposition of continuing violation penalties
(if applicable).
(n) The Hearing Officer shall have the power to:
(1) Adopt procedures for the conduct of hearings.
(2) Subpoena alleged violators and witnesses for hearings; subpoenas may be served by the Miami-
Dade County Sheriffs Department or by the staff of the Hearing Officer.
(3) Subpoena evidence.
(4) Take testimony under oath.
(5) Assess and order the payment of civil penalties as provided herein.
(o) (1) A Hearing Officer shall postpone and shall not conduct a hearing if the named violator, prior to the
scheduled hearing date, files with a duly authorized County board of appropriate jurisdiction an administrative
appeal concerning the interpretation or application of any technical provisions of the Code Section allegedly
violated. However, once an issue had been determined by a Hearing Officer in a specific case, that issue may not
be further reviewed by a County board in that specific case. A named violator waives his right to administrative
appeal to other County boards if the violator does not apply for such appeal prior to the violator's code
enforcement hearing before the Hearing Officer.
(2) Upon exhaustion of a timely filed administrative appeal and finalization of the administrative order
by such board, the Hearing Officer may exercise all powers given to him by this chapter. The Hearing
Officer shall not, however, exercise any jurisdiction over such alleged Code violations until the time
allowed for court appeal of the ruling of such board has lapsed or until such further appeal has been
exhausted.
(3) The Hearing Officer shall be bound by the interpretations and decisions of duly authorized County
boards concerning the provisions of the codes within their respective jurisdictions. In the event such a
board decides that an alleged violation of the Code is not in accordance with such board's interpretation
of the Code provision on which the violation is based, the Hearing Officers shall not be empowered to
proceed with the enforcement of the violation.

unpaid civil penalties or liens.
(a) Miami-Dade County may institute proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction to compel payment of civil
penalties.
(b) A certified copy of an order imposing a civil penalty may be recorded in the public records and thereafter

enforcement purposes. After one (1) year from the filing of any such lien which remains unpaid, Miami-Dade
County may foreclose or otherwise execute on the lien.
(c) Liens created pursuant to Section 8CC-7 may be discharged and satisfied by paying to Miami-Dade County
the amount specified in the notice of lien, together with interest thereon from the date of the filing of the lien
computed at the rate of twelve (12) percent per annum, together with the administrative costs, filing and recording
fees and fees paid to file a satisfaction of the lien in the public records. When any such lien has been discharged,
Miami-Dade County shall promptly cause evidence of the satisfaction and discharge of such lien to be recorded in
the public records. Any person, firm, corporation or legal entity, other than the present owner of the property
involved, who pays any such unsatisfied lien shall be entitled to receive an assignment of the lien held by the
County and shall be subrogated to the rights of the County in respect to the enforcement of such lien, as
permitted by law.
(d) Notwithstanding any provision of this Code, no County or municipal officer, agent, employee or Board shall
approve, grant or issue any operating permit, license, building permit, certificate of use and occupancy, municipal
occupational licenses, platting action, or zoning action to any named violator with (i) unpaid civil penalties; (ii)
unpaid administrative costs of hearing; (iii) unpaid County investigative, enforcement, testing, or monitoring costs;
or (iv) unpaid liens, any or all of which are owed to Miami-Dade County pursuant to the provisions of the Code of
Miami-Dade County, Florida.

those contained in Chapter 5 of the County Code by filing a notice of appeal in the Circuit Court in and for Miami-
Dade County, Florida, in accordance with the procedures and within the time provided by the Florida Rules of
Appellate Procedure for the review of administrative action.
(b) For violations of Chapter 5 of the County Code, the violator or the County may seek to overturn the oreler of
a Hearing Officer by making application to Miami-Dade County Court for a trial de novo on the merits. Such
application shall be filed within thirty (30) calendar days of the issuance of the order sought to be overturned. A
violator shall have the right to a de novo proceeding provided that all administrative remedies have been
exhausted. Failure to make such application within the prescribed thirty-day period shall render the findings of the
Hearing Officer conclusive, binding and final. All findings of the Hearing Officer shall be admissible evidence at
any de novo proceeding held pursuant to this section.
(c) Unless the findings of the Hearing Officer are overturned in a proceeding held pursuant to Section 8CC-8
(a), all findings of the Hearing Officer shall be admissible in any proceeding to collect unpaid penalties.
