City Manager A RESOLUTION B HE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE EXISTING PALM AND HIBISCUS ISLAND SECURITY GUARD SPECIAL TAXING DISTRICT INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT TO: SUBJECT: ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION Approve the Resolution. BACKGROUND The City and Metropolitan Dade County executed an Interlocal Agreement to provide off- duty police officers to perform security services for the residents of the Palm and Hibiscus Islands. The off-duty police officers are paid from monies raised through the Palm and Hibiscus Islands Special Taxing District. The Dade County Public Works Department administers the Special Taxing District. In February 1997, the Chief of Police authorized an increase of the hourly rate paid to an off-duty police officer to $22.00. The Interlocal Agreement established the hourly rate at $20.00 as it existed at the time of the signing. The Interlocal Agreement has no provision to automatically adjust the hourly rate should it be changed by the Chief of Police. The residents of the Palm and Hibiscus Islands have consented to this increase and requested that the Dade County Public Works Department amend the Interlocal Agreement. When the Interlocal Agreement was originally executed, Dade County provided a reserve fund equal to two weeks expenses. The purpose of the reserve fund is to ensure there are always funds available to meet expenses due to the time it takes to invoice and produce checks. AGENDA ITEM c.. '1 ~ DATE <1-\D ~u The reserve fund and all monies for this off-duty job are the responsibility of the appointed police Job Coordinator. The funds are maintained in a separate bank account authorized by the City Commission and created for this purpose. Both the City and Dade County audit the books and records of this off-duty job. This reserve fund has been paying the difference in the hourly costs. Upon executing the Amendment, the County will reimburse the Police Department, retroactively to February 1997, the two dollars per hour difference. When the hourly rate was increased, the Police Department notified the Dade County Public Works Department. Unfortunately, a misunderstanding occurred between members of the Police Department and their counterparts in the Public Works Department. This misunderstanding caused a delay in the preparation of the Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement. When they rectified the misunderstanding, the Public Works Department requested the County Attorney's Office prepare the Amendment. The County Attorney's Office did not prepare the Amendment until late July 1997. The Police Department did not receive the amendment from the County Attorney's Office in time to be placed on the Commission's July Agenda. ANALYSIS By executing the Amendment, the City can continue this service to the residents of this area and compensate the off-duty police officers working there the same hourly rate as those off-duty police officers who work other off-duty jobs. If the Mayor and Commission chose not to execute the Amendment, the City probably cannot continue to provide the services of off-duty police officers to the residents of the Palm and Hibiscus Islands. Due to the discrepancy in the hour wage, police officers would not volunteer to work this off-duty job. CONCLUSION The execution of this First Amendment to the Interlocal Agreement will enable the City to provide this much wanted service to the citizens of the Palm and Hibiscus Islands.
