COMMISSION MEMORANDUM NO. ~
TO:
Mayor Seymour Gelber and
Members of the City Commission
DATE: September 24, 1997
FROM: Jose Garcia-Pedros
City Manager
SUBJECT: SIXTY DAY ONTRACT EXTENSION WITH MIAMI
BEACH DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION (MBDC) FOR
ADMINISTRATION OF OFF-DUTY POLICE PROGRAM ON
WASHINGTON A VENUE.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION:
The Commission should approve the extension of the Miami Beach Development Corporation
(MBDC) Agreement for administering the Off-Duty Police Program on Washington Avenue.
BACKGROUND:
At the City Commission meeting of January 8, 1997, the City Commission approved a budget
amendment which enabled the City to take responsibility for services previously performed by the
Districts. Included in this budget amendment was the allocation of$169,344 for 40 weeks of private
off-duty security (24 officers per week) to be administered by MBDC. That contract will expire at
the end of this fiscal year, September 30, 1997.
The Administration is working closely with the Police Department to develop a new plan for
addressing Washington Avenue security. The new program will be implemented within the next 30-
60 days. In the interim, off-duty security should continue uninterrupted. Extending MBDC's
contract will accomplish this. An allocation of $45,000 for 60 days will cover the anticipated salary
costs for a maximum of two months.
CONCLUSION:
The proposed budget amendment (in the amount of$45,000 for a 60-day period oftime) is necessary
to provide uninterrupted off duty security for Washington Avenue. The City Commission should
approve the amendment.
