RESOLUTION 92-20509 • MEMO TO FILE Re: 5/20/92 , item C-4A 5/28/92 I spoke with Nancy Wein in the Police Department regarding the discrepancy between the current budget figure in this 4th amendment to the 1991/92 Police Confiscation Fund Budget and the total after the 3rd amendment. She advised that OMB found a discrepancy in the figures for the 1st amendment, so the amounts in the 2nd and 3rd amendments were also incorrect, but the totals listed in the 4th amendment were correct.

ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION The Administration recommends that the City Commission amend the operating budget for the Police Confiscation Trust Account by an amount of $12 , 000 . BACKGROUND The Miami Beach Police Athletic League consists of young adults sharing a common interest in Law Enforcement. The Explorers get a "hands on" experience concerning law enforcement through their many function, some of which include, traffic control , accident investigation, crime prevention, security, field interrogation, and arrest procedures. Explorers also participate actively in routine police patrol . They compete with other police explorers in statewide and national competitions covering numerous law enforcement related topics. The Explorers assist the City of Miami Beach and the Police Department in several ways. They handle traffic details during special events or concerts, work in the Communications Bureau and Report Control Center, and hold assignments with Crime Scene and Crime prevention. In addition, this past year they were involved in an anti-auto theft crime prevention program entitled V I N - E T C H, assisted in graffiti paint outs, and clean-a-thons that helped to keep Miami Beach Beautiful ! _ 01 AGENDA ITEM Ca 44 DATE z r ^ I r • j • ANALYSIS The primary purpose of the Summer Jobs Program is to provide jobs for disadvantaged youth of Miami Beach and the surrounding area. The youth involved in this program will be selected utilizing the following criteria: last year, $10, 000 was spent to hire ten members of the P.A. L. Explorers to work in the police facility for 20 hours per week. They were paid $4 . 25 per hour and worked four days a week, for ten weeks. They were assigned to various divisions within the Police Department. We spent $10, 000 and saved 2 , 000 hours of overtime manpower hours at $10 . 00 per hour for a Clerk and $15. 00 per hour for a Police Officer, and averaging the hourly rate of $12 . 50 per hour. We saved approximately $38 , 000 in overtime. That translated to wise management. CONCLUSION By establishing this program, we have an opportunity to reach out and directly influence the lives of our young people in a • positive way. Our youth are the future resources of our community. How better can we spend monies taken from the hands of criminals, than to put it back into the hands of our disadvantaged youth, to educate and guide them towards a successful , productive lifestyle. The summer jobs program can benefit from the utilization of confiscated funds. This program was created to assist disadvantaged, troubled youth who are lacking in the basic resources or conditions believed to be necessary for an equal opportunity to succeed in life. The Miami Beach Police Department ' s goal is to try to enhance the P.A.L. ' s ability to provide services to disadvantaged youth. Exposure to law enforcement and proper role models through full time employment in summer jobs, is a viable means of accomplishing this goal . 02 ti V.'_.11j11Vt1L RESOLUTION NO. 92-20509 For the 4th amendment to the confiscation fund budget, providing funds for a summer jobs program for disadvantaged youth, f o=- t a cost of $12,000.
