ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
BACKGROUND
In 1998, the State of Florida settled its lawsuit with the Tobacco industry. Funds from the settlement
have been given to the Department DfBusiness Regulation, Division of Alcoholic Beverages and
Tobacco for the purposes of reducing the numbeI of persons under the age of 18 purchasing and
consuming tobacco products. In furtherance of this goal, the Division of Alcoholic Beverages and
Tobacco has developed the School Proximity Tobacco Enforcement Program and the Agents
Combating Tobacco Program.
The Schools Proximity Tobacco Enforcement (SPTE) Program
The SPTE program seeks to create a Tobacco Influence Free Zone around public and private
elementary, middle and high schools throughout the State. The creation of Tobacco
Influence Flee Zones will be accomplished through the combined efforts of Retailer
Compliance Investigations and Tobacco Possession Investigations within walking distance,
(approximately I Yz miles), of schools and in other areas with a high concentration of

AGENDA ITEM
school age youth. Retailer compliance investigations are designed to determine whether
vendors who are selling tobacco products ale complying with Florida law by not selling
tobacco to persons under 18 years of age. Florida Law prohibits the possession of tobacco
products by anyone under the age of 18. One objective of the SPTE PIogram, is to enforce
Florida's law relating to the underage possession of tobacco. The Tobacco Possession
Enforcement ProgIam will be used to identifY and issue citations to youths in violation,
thereby discouraging young people fIom smoking.
The Agents Combating Tobacco Sales (ACTS) Program
Research has shown that most people under the age of 18 who use tobacco obtain tobacco
products by making unlawful purchases from retail businesses located near their schools. The
objective of the ACTS ProgIam is to create doubt in the minds of young people as to whether
retail establishments where the youth may have attempted unlawful purchases of tobacco
products, are being staffed by undercover police officeIs. This uncertainty should discouIage
attempts by youth to illegally procure tobacco from Ietail vendors and result in reduced
availability of tobacco products by underage persons.
The ACr:S _ Program will place police officers in retail establishments which sell tobacco
products, posing as either store employees or customers. Officers will seek to identifY
potential underage purchasers of tobacco products and then take appropriate enforcement
action. Additionally, officers are affoIded the opportunity and are expected to train store
employees regarding tobacco law, techniques to identifY underage customers, detection of
false identification, and strategies to safely refuse unlawful sales.
The Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco will provide $114,969.00 to the Miami Beach
Police Department for overtime expenses for investigations under these two programs. The funds
will cover the period from the date of signing until June 30,1999. If both parties choose so, the
programs can be renewed for more terms at six months each.
There is no cash match required by the City.
ANALYSIS
Every day another 3,000 people under the age of 18 start smoking. Peer pressure is one of the
greatest motivations encouraging young people to using tobacco products. The activities of older
students, peIceived by peers as "cool," can influence the choices of young students to use tobacco
products. Establishing a Tobacco Influence Free Zone around schools will remove that influence
where students most often congregate. Tobacco use often results in other acts of rebellion by youth
including experimentation with other drugs and crime.
CONCLUSION
These funds will assist the Police Department in enforcing laws that will deter young people away
from using tobacco products.

The agreements mentioned were never signed. The state notified us
after the commission meeting that they were NOT going to fund the

School Proximity Tobacco Enforcement - SPTE
Statement of Work Contract Addendum
1. Program Overview
The SPTE Program seeks to create a Tobacco Influence Free Zone around public and
private elementary, middle and high schools throughout Florida. The creation of Tobacco
Influence Free Zones will be accomplished through the combined efforts of Retailer
Compliance Investigations and Tobacco Possession Investigations within walking distance,
(approximately Y, mile), of schools and in other areas with a high concentration of school
age youth.
Every day another 3000 people under the age of 18 start smoking. Peer pressure is one
of the greatest motivators encouraging young people to begin using tobacco products. The
activities of older students, perceived by peers as "cool", can influence the choices of
young students to use tobacco products. Establishing a Tobacco Influence Free Zone
around schools will remove that influence where students most often congregate. Known
to be a gateway drug, tobacco use often results in other acts of rebellion by youth including
experimentation with other drugs and crime.
Retailer Compliance Investigations. Retailer Compliance Investigations are designed to
determine whether vendors selling tobacco products are complying with Florida law by not
selling tobacco to persons under 18 years of age. With the guidance of the DABT District
Contract Administrator the CONTRACTOR shall develop and utilize underage operatives
to'make controlled buys of tobacco products from retail establishments located near
schools and in other areas where youth congregate. The CONTRACTOR shall follow
DABT policy and procedure regarding the use of underage operatives. Clerks selling
tobacco products to underage persons will be charged criminally. Stores where such
violations occur will have their tobacco permits subject to administrative proceedings.
Tobacco Possession Enforcement. Florida law prohibits the possession of tobacco
products by anyone under the age of 18. One objective of the SPTE Program, is to
enforce Florida's law relating to the underage possession of tobacco. The CONTRACTOR
shall identify and issue citations to youth in violation, thereby discouraging young people
from smoking.
2. Work Overview
Funding for the SPTE Program comes from Florida's settlement with the tobacco industry.
Agencies contracting with the Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco (DABT) to
work the SPTE Program shall be reimbursed on a monthly basis according to the number
of completed SPTE Units accomplished in a given month. A SPTE Unit consists of 10
dedicated man-hours and is broken down as follows: a two-person team working retailer
compliance and/or tobacco possession investigations for 4 hours each, [2 officers X 4
hours each = 8.hours]; one additional hour is allotted per officer to cover preparation,
travel and report writing time (PTR), [2 officers X 1 hour eac.h = 2 hours]; Eight (8) total
investigation hours -I- two (2) PTR hours = ten (10) hours total per SPTE Work Unit. As an
incentive regarding administration of the SPTE Program, any employee of the
CONTRACTOR who serves on an overtime basis as the SPTE Program Supervisor or
Coordinator, shall be allotted one (1) hour for each completed SPTE Unit supervised to be
reimbursed at the employee's established rate of overtime. All established hourly rates
shall be set forth in the Affidavit of Costs included in the contract package. In addition to
hours worked, reasonable administrative costs, (typing, report tracking and invoice
preparation), will be reimbursed to the CONTRACTOR pursuant to the terms of the
contract.
3. Training.
DABT, through its assigned District Contract Administrator, will conduct training of the
CONTRACTOR's personnel who will participate in the Program. Initially, up to two training
sessions will be provided at times and places established by the CONTRACTOR and
agreed to by the DABT District Contract Administrator. No officer/deputy or supervisor
may participate in the Program unless that person has received training from the DABT
District Contract Administrator, another designated DABT employee, or other person
authorized by DA8T and approved by the Director of Enforcement for the Tobacco Pilot
Program. For reimbursement purposes, the CONTRACTOR shall furnish to the DABT
Dtstrict Contract Administratorthe names of its personnel who have been trained and who
will be participating in the SPTE Program.
4. Site Selection
The SPTE Program will be utilized at locations within close proximity to schools and where
young people are known to congregate. The CONTRACTOR may only perform services
under this contract at locations approved by the DABT District Contract Administrator. The
CONTRACTOR may make suggestions as to locations and such shall be considered by
the DABT District Contract Administrator when granting approvals. As a courtesy, the
CONTRACTOR shall attempt to notify the assigned School Resource Officer or the
appropriate School Principal when working tobacco possession enforcement in close

Agents Combating Tobacco Sales - ACTS
Statement of Work Contract Addendum
1. Program Overview
The Acts Program places law enforcement officers in retail establishments which sell
tobacco products, posing as either store employees or customers. Officers seek to identify
potential underage purchasers of tobacco products and then take appropriate enforcement
action. Additionally, officers are afforded the opportunity and are expected to train store
employees regarding tobacco law, techniques to identify underage customers, detection
of false identification, and strategies to safely refuse unlawful sales.
The Program calls for teams of two officers. One officer shall work inside the store and the
other will work outside the premises. The outside officer should be positioned to observe
the activities inside the store and be available to offer assistance in enforcement actions
taken by the inside officer. The outside officer will also be in a position to observe potential
risks to the safety of detail officers, to identify potential violators, and to observe and take
action on tobacco violations which occur outside the premises. In such cases, the officer
working inside the premises will be available to render any necessary assistance to the
outside officer.
Research has shown that most people under the age of 18 who use tobacco obtain
tobacco products by making unlawful purchases from retail businesses located near their
schools. The objective of the ACTS Program is to create eaubt in the minds of young
people as to whether retail establishments where the youth may have attempted unlawful
purchases of tobacco products, are being staffed by undercover police officers. This
uncertainty should discourage attempts by youth to illegally procure tobacco from retail
vendors and result in reduced availability of tobacco products to underage persons.
2. Work Overview
Funding for the ACTS Program comes from Florida's settlement with 'the tobacco industry.
Agencies contracting with the Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco (DABT) to
work the ACTS Program shall be reimbursed on a monthly basis according to the number
of completed ACTS Units accomplished in a given month. An ACTS Unit consists of six
(6) dedicated man-hours and is broken down as follows: a 2-person team on location at
an approved retail site for 2 hours, [2 officers X 2 hours each = 4 hours]; one (1) additional
hour is allotted per officer to cover preparation, travel and report writing time (PTR). [2
officers X 1 hour each = 2 hours]; Four (4) total inv"estigation hours + two (2) PTR hours
= six (6) hours total per ACTS Work Unit. As an incentive regarding administration of the
ACTS Program any employee of the CONTRACTOR who serves on an overtime basis as
the ACTS Program Supervisor or Coordinator, shalf be allotted one (1) hour of
compensated time for each completed ACTS Unit supervised. and shall be reimbursed at
the employee's established rate of overtime. All established hourly rates shall be set forth
in the Affidavit of Costs included in the contract package. In addition to hours worked,
reasonable administrative costs, (typing, report tracking and invoice preparation). will be
reimbursed to the CONTRACTOR pursuant to the terms of the contract.
3. Training
DABT, through its assigned District Contract Administrator, will conduct training of the
CONTRACTOR's personnel who will participate in the Program. Initially, up to two training
sessions will be provided at times and places established by the CONTRACTOR and
agreed to by the DABT District Contract Administrator, No officer/deputy or supervisor
may participate in the Program unless that person has received training from the DABT
District Contract Administrator, another designated DABT employee, or other person
authorized by DABT and approved by the Director of Enforcement for the Tobacco Pilot
Program, For reimbursement purposes, the CONTRACTOR shall furnish to the DABT
District Contract Administratorthe names of its personnel who have been trained and who
will be participating in the ACTS Program,
4. Site Selection
The Acts Program will be utilized in retail locations within close proximity to schools and
at locations where young people are known to congregate and/or purchase tobacco
p~oducts. The DABT District Contract Administratorwill approve the sites for the Program
and will secure any necessary authorization to be in the store. The CONTRACTOR may
only perform services under this contract at locations authorized by the DABT District
Contract Administrator. The CONTRACTOR may make suggestions as to locations and
such shall be considered by the DABT District Contract Administrator when granting
approvals.
