COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Rickelle Williams, Interim City Manager A.1
DATE: July 24, 2024 •
TITLE: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, ACCEPTING THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE
FINANCE AND ECONOMIC RESILIENCY COMMITTEE, AT ITS JUNE 28, 2024
MEETING, TO APPROVE MAKING A BUDGET PRIORITY DURING THE FISCAL
YEAR 2025 BUDGET PROCESS IN THE AMOUNT OF $54,000.00 TO THE MIAMI
BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT LGBTQIA INITIATIVES FUND.
RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the City Commission accept the recommendation of the
Finance and Economic Resiliency Committee to approve making a budget priority during the
Fiscal Year 2025 budget process in the amount of $54,000 to the Miami Beach Police
Department's LGBTQIA initiatives fund.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
At the January 31, 2024 City Commission meeting, at the request of Commissioner Laura
Dominguez, the Mayor and City Commission approved a referral (C4 V) to the Finance and
Economic Resiliency Committee("FERC") requesting:
• A comprehensive review of the MBPD's LGBTQIA+ outreach initiatives.
• A discussion of the types of social services programs available to the LGBTQIA+
community in the city, including but not limited to drug testing services.
• An exploration of collaborations between the City, non-profit organizations and local
establishments to strengthen and promote crucial services in the City.
The item was referred to the March 22, 2024 FERC meeting agenda and deferred to the June 28,
2024 meeting where it was moved to the full Commission with favorable recommendation to
prioritize adding $54,000 to the Miami Beach Police Department's LGBTQ initiatives budget with
funds indexed to account for inflation as part of the Fiscal Year 2025 budget process.
ANALYSIS
Based on July 2023 data from the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau, an estimated
1.65 million U.S. LGBTQIA+ community members (excluding South Florida residents) visited
greater Miami in the 12 preceding months for an overnight trip and spent $1.7 billion while doing
so. A solid 15% of these travelers spent 3 nights in the area, and the average spent per person
for all travelers per stay was$1,050 for accommodations, food and beverage, local transportation,
entertainment/tickets, and shopping. That data only covered out of state tourism.
Based on data from the Williams Institute and Queerty, the LGBTQIA+ population in the Greater
Miami is estimated at 230,000 and in Miami Beach at 18,000. Based on data from the Greater
Miami LGBTQ Chamber of Commerce, the LGBTQIA+ annual purchasing power in Miami-Dade
County is estimated at$9 Billion.
The City of Miami Beach is host to several major LGBTQIA+ events, including the Winter Party
Festival, the National LGBTQ Task Force gala, Miami Beach Pride, among various others. Miami
Beach is also home to several well-known and well-visited LGBTQIA+ establishments. Though
the above data includes greater Miami or Miami-Dade County, it is therefore undeniable that the
LGBTQIA+ tourism and LGBTQIA+ purchasing power has a tremendous impact on the City of
Miami Beach. It is therefore essential to provide programs, events, and services to ensure an
attractive, safe, and empowering environment for LGBTQIA+ tourists, visitors, residents, and
businesses/organizations.
Currently,only two LGBTQIA+service initiatives are funded by Resolution: a$75,000 partnership
with SAVE and a $50,000 partnership with Pridelines, both falling under the office of Education &
Performance Initiatives (see description later in this memorandum). Other initiatives, past,
ongoing, or upcoming, as well as training for Parks and Recreation and beyond do not have a set
budget and instead rely on available departmental funds and leadership to support the activities
and associated costs. This is not optimal as it does not guarantee that certain initiatives will have
funding and take place. Even if the activities are carried out, the arrangement does not allow for
continuation or enhancements as each initiative is on a one-time basis.
This item, therefore, presents an opportunity for the Commission to allocate any dedicated
departmental funding deemed appropriate to secure continual LGBTQIA+services. Below are the
identified existing services, programs, and partnerships related to the LGBTQIA+ community in
the City of Miami Beach.
POLICE DEPARTMENT
The Miami Beach Police Department(MBPD) has always been supportive of and engaged with
the LGBTQIA+ community. For years, retired Officer Juan Sanchez worked unofficially and
officially as the Department's LGBTQIA+ Liaison and was instrumental in developing
relationships, partnerships, and mutually beneficial programs. Officer Sanchez retired in January
2019, leaving a gap in the agency in relation to LGBTQIA+initiatives. In 2022,Officer Christopher
Bess became the new LGBTQIA+ Liaison, and even though this assignment not full-time, he was
able to take on multiple initiatives before taking on the role of Public Information Officer (PIO)
under the newly appointed Chief Wayne Jones. Below is a list of Department initiatives:
Organizational Culture
The Department is working on ensuring that it creates a welcoming and empowering
environment for all employees. The Department developed an LGBTQIA+ Liaison
Program and intends to create a policy for the LGBTQIA+ Liaison assignment, ensure
LGBTQIA+ representation in its Peer and Chaplain programs, and ensure that all
employees are optimally trained on matters relating to LGBTQIA+.
Status: Ongoing
Safe Place Initiative(SPI)
The Department recognizes that the LGBTQIA+ community is acutely vulnerable to
unprovoked acts of violence. As a result, the Safe Place Initiative (SPI) was established
to provide victims, specifically individuals of the LGBTQIA+ community who have been
subjected to a hate crime, a safe location to seek assistance. With this initiative,
participating local businesses, municipal facilities or organizations receive the following
distinguishable 'Safe Place' decal, which is posted and easily identifiable by victims of
LGBTQIA+ biased hate crimes. A website showcasing an interactive map of participating
businesses will be publicized and accessible to provide members of the LGBTQIA+a clear
understanding of friendly and supportive businesses where they can safely seek help.
Participating businesses and organizations will receive training allowing them to rapidly
assess potential hate crime situations and reach out effectively to the MBPD for help.
Status:This program was in place several years ago. Currently,the Department is working
on a re-launch by June 2024.

Stop the Hate. Don't be a Victim Program
This initiative is an eight-week interactive program for vulnerable populations and more
specifically for the LGBTQIA+ community. It aims to provide participants with a unique
opportunity to learn how to protect themselves and minimize their chances of being the
victim of a biased-motivated crime. Participants will take part in various training segments,
including scenario-based situations,active shooter,fraud/dating applications,transgender
interactions, firearms, self-defense, and other pertinent topics.
Status: The MBPD is working on launching this program in the coming months.
Engaging and Building Relationships with Transgender Communities Training
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) Community Relations Service (CRS) works to
prevent and respond to hate crimes against lesbian,gay, bisexual,transgender, and queer
or questioning (LGBTQ)communities. The CRS team offers a three-hour train-the-trainer
program for training unit officers and other relevant employees to learn from subject matter
experts about current issues impacting the transgender community, as well as best
practices, policies, and strategies for improving partnerships between the transgender and
law enforcement communities.
Status: The Department is engaged in preliminary discussions with the DOJ Community
Relations Service to potentially bring this training to the Department.
MBPD is also involved in the LGBTQIA+ community in various ways, including:
City of Miami Beach's LGBTQIA+Advisory Committee
The Department regularly meets with members of the City of Miami Beach's LGBTQIA+
Advisory Committee or attends the Committee's monthly meetings to ensure the
Committee is aware of the MBPD's LGBTQIA+ initiatives, including policies, training, and
events as well as to discuss issues and opportunities to improve safety and quality of life
for LGBTQIA+ residents, visitors, and tourists.
South Florida Law Enforcement LGBTQ+ Coalition
The Department is a proud member of this Coalition which gathers LGBTQIA+ liaisons
from the 34 Miami-Dade County municipalities on a monthly basis to advocate reforms of
police policies and procedures to be inclusive, to participate in or create events that
promote unity between law enforcement personnel and the community served, to elevate
standards of police institutions by offering the public a means of communication with an
officer they feel most comfortable speaking to, and to devise, cultivate and disseminate
systems of prevention of crimes against the LGBTQIA+ community.
Greater Miami LGBTQ Chamber of Commerce Holigay Toy Drive
For several years now, the Department has partnered with the Greater Miami LGBTQ
Chamber of Commerce, located next to police headquarters, for the Chamber's yearly
Holigay event, which collect toys that the Department then distributes to local children
during the Department's holiday community event.
Miami Beach Pride
For years, the Department has partnered with the Miami Beach Pride organization to
ensure the safety of all participants and attendees to the Pride days or weeks events.The
MBPD leadership also proudly walks in the parade every year.
National LGBTQ Task Force
The Department has partnered with the National LGBTQ Task Force organization over
multiple years to ensure the safety of all participants and attendees to the Winter Party
Festival events.
Additionally, the Department has supported the National LGBTQ Task Force Gala on
annual basis through the presence of several LGBTQ employees and members of the
Command Staff.
MBPD Pride Car
The Department understands the importance of visibility and presence in the LGBTQIA+
community. For several years, the Department has therefore had a Pride-wrapped police
SUV available for display at different events and for important LGBTQIA+ days. The
Department presented its new Pride car at the National LGBTQ Task Force Winter Party
Festival on February 28, 2024.
MBPD Opportunities for Improvement
Excluding human resources, one the greatest obstacles has been the lack of dedicated funding
for LGBTQIA+ initiatives. Though the Department's budget is and appears significant, the priority
is placed on personnel, equipment, and overtime-related costs to ensure the safety of residents,
visitors, and tourists. As a result, LGBTQIA+ initiatives are often pending the identification of
available funding, often delaying or preventing the launching or continuation of initiatives. Funding
is required to run programs or events, to print educative or training material, to represent and
participate at certain community events and to transport employees to and/or host training
sessions or conferences among various other activities.
To more effectively support LGBTQA+ initiatives and activities, attached is a sample budget with
line items and pricing.
PARKS & RECREATION DEPARTMENT
Below are programming initiatives that the Parks&Recreation Department has or is in the process
of carrying out:
• Partnering with Pridelines on a LGBTQIA+youth proms which offer a safe, inclusive space
for young people to celebrate their identity without fear of judgment. The proms provide
validation and recognition for those who may have missed out on traditional proms,
creating a more accepting society. Held in 2019, the last youth prom had 105 participants
in attendance
• Fantasy Theatre Factory — Celebrate our Families event, celebrating the diverse
backgrounds of South Florida families including LGBTQIA+ families. Held in February of
2024, the last event had 175 participants
• Pride Family Night at the Pool—free community event for families that coincides with Pride
Week. Held in 2022, the last event was attended by 225 participants

OFFICE OF THE MAYOR&COMMISSION
LGBTQIA+Committee:
Powers and duties: The committee shall make advisory recommendations to the City
Commission and the City Manager on initiatives to be implemented and supported by the
city regarding a variety of issues to ensure the well-being and quality of life of the Miami
Beach LGBTQIA+ Community. The committee shall annually compile and submit, in a
timely manner, with the assistance of the staff liaison, city data and information to be
scored by the human rights campaign's ("HRC") municipal equality index ("MEI") on the
city's non- discrimination laws, policies, and services. The committee shall also make
recommendations to the city commission and the city manager regarding any new or
amended laws, ordinances, or policies that may need to be enacted in order to receive all
possible points on the Municipal Equality Index(MEI)each year.
Composition: The Committee consists of fifteen (15) voting members, with three (3)
members to be directly appointed by the Mayor, and two (2) members to be directly
appointed by each City Commissioner. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence,the initial
membership of the Committee shall be comprised of those current members of the
Mayor's Gay Business Development Committee, choosing to serve on the Committee,
with any additional members(as required to complete the total number of members of the
Committee)to be appointed at-large by a majority vote of the City Commission.
Human Rights Campaign Municipal Equality Index(MEI)
The MEI examines how inclusive municipal laws, policies, and services are of LGBTQIA+ people
who live and work there. Cities are rated based on non-discrimination laws, the municipality as
an employer, municipal services, law enforcement and leadership on LGBTQIA+ equality. In
2023, a record-breaking 129 cities, constituting over 25 percent of all MEI-rated cities, have
achieved the highest possible score of 100, an increase from the 120 achieved in 2022. In 20
states, 76 cities have reached scores exceeding 85, even in the absence of non-discrimination
statutes that explicitly safeguard sexual orientation and gender identity. The City of Miami Beach
submitted its entry and is awaiting its score card.
