effectiveness and efficiency of the City of Miami Beach Police and Fire Departments. The initial
resolution was rejected during the July 18, 2012, City Commission meeting. During the February

ICMA specifically focused on the Fire Department. The item was placed on the March 13, 2013,

placed on the April 17, 2013, City Commission Meeting agenda, but again, the item was not
reached.

The Administration recommends that the Mayor and the City Commission refer the matter to the
Finance and Citywide Projects Committee meeting for discussion and further direction.
