RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
The City Commission adopted Resolutions No. 79-15827 on February 7,1979, approving the
creation of the "Palm and Hibiscus Island Security Guard Special Taxing District' (the "District")
in order to provide 24-hour guard service, subject to compliance with the applicable Metropolitan
Charter and Miami-Dade County Code. The special guard protection service approved
consisted of contracting for twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year,
unarmed, uniformed, guard services with a duly licensed and bonded, State of Florida approved
Security Guard Service, at the entrance of the District, conditioned upon approval, by affirmative
vote of the residents of Palm Island and Hibiscus Islands, in an election to be conducted in
accordance with the Miami-Dade County Code, and further subject to approval by the Miami-
Dade County Commission.
The Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners, by adoption of Ordinance No. 80-32
on April 15, 1980, as amended by Ordinance No. 83-122, created the Palm and Hibiscus Island
Security Guard Special Taxing District, pursuant to Chapter 18 of the Code of Miami-Dade
County, Florida, and Section 1.01(a) (11) of the Miami-Dade County Home Rule Charter. The
District was approved on June 24, 1980, by a majority vote of qualified electors residing within
the District. In connection with the creation of the District,the City leases to Miami-Dade County,
Florida (the "County') the security guard building ("Palm and Hibiscus security guard station")
located at the causeway entrance to the Palm and Hibiscus Islands for use by the District for

passed and adopted a subsequent Resolution No. 88-19257, on May 26, 1988, requesting that
the Board of County Commissioners amend Ordinance No. 83-122 to permit the use of off-duty
police officers to provide guard services.

guard services within the District twenty-four(24) hours per day, seven (7) days per week, three
hundred and sixty-five (365) days per year, and further authorized the use an I nterlocal
Agreement to secure such services.

services by City of Miami Beach off-duty police officers. The previous I nterlocal Agreement

police officers to perform guard services twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days per
week, three hundred and sixty-five (365)days per year, at the Palm and Hibiscus security guard
station for a five-year term, commencing on October 1, 2021 and expiring on September 30,

MEMO # COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Matti Herrera Bower and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Jorge M. Gonzalez, City Manager
DATE: January 28, 2009
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI
BEACH, FLORIDA, RETROACTIVELY APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR
AND CITY CLERK TO EXECUTE AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY
OF MIAMI BEACH AND MIAMI-DADE COUNTY,FLORIDA,SECURING OFF-DUTY CITY
OF MIAMI BEACH POLICE OFFICERS TO PERFORM GUARD SERVICES FOR THE
PALM AND HIBISCUS ISLAND SECURITY GUARD SPECIAL TAXING DISTRICT.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
ANALYSIS
In 1988, the residents of Palm and Hibiscus Islands voted to create the Palm and Hibiscus
Island Security Guard Special Taxing District. The purpose of the Special Taxing District was
to permit the hiring of off-duty Miami Beach Police Officers to perform security services for
Palm and Hibiscus Islands. That same year, the City and the County entered into the first
Inter-local Agreement to provide the services of off-duty Miami Beach Police Officers.
The City and the County have renewed the Inter-local Agreement continuously since 1988.
The most current Inter-local Agreement recently expired. The Palm Hibiscus Island
Homeowner's Association, the County and the City of Miami Beach wish to renew the
Agreement. The renewal process has taken longer than expected and as such, retroactive
approval is necessary as of January 8, 2007. The Police Department has continued to
provide off-duty Police Officers during this period and the residents have had no interruption
of services.
The new Inter-local Agreement continues the services as currently provided for the period of
January 8, 2007 to September 30, 2010, with the option to renew for a three (3)year term.
The Agreement provides that the City will staff the Palm and Hibiscus Island station with off-
duty Police Officers on a 24-hour a day basis. The Agreement also includes the revised
administrative surcharge the City receives for employment of off-duty Police Officers at a rate
of$10.00 per hour from October 6, 2008 to September 30, 2010.
CONCLUSION
By adopting this Resolution, the City of Miami Beach and the County will renew this long
standing Interlocal Agreement providing off-duty Miami Beach Police Officers at Palm and
ri
Hibis s Islands.
