SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE
MAYOR AND CITY CLERK TO EXECUTE A MEMORANDUM OF
UNDERSTANDING (MOU) AMONG THE CITY OF MIAMI, CITY OF MIAMI
BEACH, AND CITY OF HIALEAH (PARTICIPATING CITIES); SAID MOU
IMPLEMENTING A COOPERATIVE SYSTEM FOR THE JOINT USE OF
THE MUNICIPAL RADIO SYSTEMS (INCLUDING POLICE AND FIRE
DEPARTMENTS), TO ENSURE UNINTERRUPTED COMMUNICATION
CAPABILITIES FOR EACH PARTICIPATING CITY, WHILE TRAVELING
OUTSIDE OF THEi R RESPECTIVE HOME SYSTEM COVERAGE AREA
DURING REGULAR OPERATIONS OR JOINT RELIEF OPERATIONS.
RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission approve the Resolution.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
The initial goal of the cooperative effort was to design the three Host Agency's radio systems,
Miami, Miami Beach, and Hialeah, in a manner that would allow police officers and firefighters
the ability to maintain communications (voice and data) in their respective municipal system after
they had traveled outside of their home system coverage area without the need to change
channels on their portable or mobile radios.
Hanis Corporation proposed a design that will require the Miami "APCO P-25 System" cores
(main and backup) to function as the primary cores while the Miami Beach cores (main and
backup) and the Hialeah cores (main and backup) continuously function as the backups for their
respective P-25 Systems. This design requires for each Host Agency Radio System
Administrator to access the Miami's Unified Administrative System (UAS) database which
functions as the primary core for all three Host Agencies. Therefore, in the event Miami's
primary and backup core cease to function or the microwave connection and backup connection
is lost from Miami to Miami Beach and/or Hialeah, Miami Beach cores and Hialeah cores take
over and their respective dispatch centers and radio subscribers continue to operate as
standalone P-25 Systems. The only core to core feature that could be lost by Miami Beach or
Hialeah during a rare (if ever) event of loss of connectivity to the Miami APCO P25 system
Page 234 of 1576
wo u ld be th e se am l e ss ro am ing of th e p ub l ic saf ety sub scr ib er radi o s from all of the, cities or
the city impacted, by the connectivity loss, and the ability to perform administrative updates.
ANALYSIS
The three Host Agencies agree to fund and coordinate all radio system software and hardware
upgrades to assure that all voice and data interoperability communications between each Host
Agency is not degraded.
All Host Agencies agree to not implement any additional feature to their respective P-25
System or subscriber units that degrade the seamless roaming capability between the three
Host Agencies as defined in this MOU. The Host Agencies are allowed to implement any
feature in their respective APCO P-25 System or subscriber units that do not degrade any of
the features defined in this MO U without restriction.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
There is no fiscal impact.
CONCLUSION
The goal of the proposed MOU is to implement a cooperative effort between the cities of
Miami, Miami Beach, and Hialeah (Participating Cities) public safety (Police and Fire) and
general government agencies radio systems to provide interoperability, inclusive of radio
system voice and data, location information and seamless/automatic roaming capabilities,
through each of their radio systems during regular operations, mutual aid events, and disaster
situations. The City Manager recommends the approval of the Memorandum of Understanding
by and among the Participating Cities, incorporated herein by reference and attached to the
Resolution as Exhi bit "1".

independent radio system; and
WHEREAS, Miami, Miami Beach, and Hialeah are desirous of continuing to

valuable consideration, the receipt and legal sufficiency of which are hereby
acknowledged, it is hereby agreed as follows:

I. DEFINITIONS.
APCO Project 25 compliant radio system" or "APCO P-25 System" means a digital radio
system infrastructure and subscriber equipment that incorporates standards developed
by the Association of Public Safety Communications Officials (APCO) for technology
interfaces and communications interoperability between communications products
developed by multiple manufacturers.
"Host Agency" means each entity (Miami, Miami Beach, and Hialeah) operating an
APCO Project-25 compliant radio system having a radio network control center, i.e.
master site controller or control point, capable of managing one or multiple sites.
"Radio System" means the Miami, Miami Beach, and Hialeah radio communications
systems for public safety and general government services within their respective
jurisdictions.
"Inter-RF Subsystem Interface (ISSI)" provides P25 TIA-standardized network-level
communication between P25 radio systems, regardless of system manufacturer.
Its primary functions are to call management, entity tracking, and registration between
the local VIDA system and other RF Subsystems (RFSSs}. ln addition to inter-system
communication, the iSSi service also provides the interface that enables radios to roam
between systems.
II. GOAL.
The goal of this MOU is to implement a cooperative effort between Miami, Miami Beach,
and Hialeah public safety (Police and Fire) and general government agencies radio
systems to provide interoperability, inclusive of radio system voice and data, location
information and seamless/automatic roaming capabilities, through each of their radio
systems during regular operations, mutual aid events. and disaster situations.
Ill. BACKGROUND
The initial goal of the cooperative effort was to design the three Host Agency's radio
systems, Miami, Miami Beach, and Hialeah, in a manner that would allow police officers
and firefighters the ability to maintain communications (voice and data) in their
respective municipal system after they had traveled outside of their home system
coverage area without the need to change channels on their portable or mobile radios.
Harris Corporation proposed a design that will require the Miami "APCO P-25 System'
cores (main and backup) to function as the primary cores while the Miami Beach cores
(main and backup) and the Hialeah cores (main and backup) continuously function as
the backups for their respective P-25 Systems. This design requires for each Host
Agency Radio System Administrator to access the Miami's Unified Administrative
System (UAS) database which functions as the primary core for all three Host Agencies.
Therefore, in the event Miami's primary and backup core cease to function or the
microwave connection and backup connection is lost from Miami to Miami Beach and/or
Hialeah, Miami Beach cores and Hialeah cores take over and their respective dispatch
centers and radio subscribers continue to operate as standalone P-25 Systems. The
only core to core feature that could be lost by Miami Beach or Hialeah during a rare (if
