ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
ANALYSIS
In 1998, the State of Florida settled its lawsuit with the Tobacco industry, Funds from the settlement
have been given to the Department of Business Regulation, Division of Alcoholic Beverages and
Tobacco for the purposes of reducing the number 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 Free Zones will be accomplished through the combined efforts of Retailer
Compliance Investigations and Tobacco Possession Investigations within walking distance,
(approximately I Y, miles), of schools and in other areas with a high concentration of

school age youth, Retailer compliance investigations are designed to determine whether
vendors who are selling tobacco products are 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 ofthe SPTE Program, is to enforce
Florida's law relating to the underage possession of tobacco, The Tobacco Possession
Enforcement Program will be used to identify and issue citations to youths in violation,
thereby discouraging young people from 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 Program 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 officers. This uncertainty should discourage
attempts by youth to illegally procure tobacco from retail vendors and result in reduced
availability of tobacco products by underage persons.
The ACTS 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 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 Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco will provide $29,983.44 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 December 31, 2000, If both parties choose so,
the programs can be renewed for additional terms at six months each,
There is no cash match required by the City.
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, 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. Tobacco use often results in other acts of rebellion by youth
including experimentation with other drugs and crime,
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Commission adopt the Resolution so that the Miami
Beach Police Department can use these funds for enforcing laws that will deter young people from
using tobacco products,

School Proximity Tobacco Enforcement. SPTE
Statement of Work EXHIBIT A
1. Overview
The SPTE Program seeks to create a Tobacco Influence Free Zone around public and
private elementary, middle and high schools throughout Florida. Tobacco Influence Free
Zones will be created through the combined efforts of Retail 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 1000 people under the age of 18 start smoking. Peer pressure is one
of the greatest motivators encouraging young people to begin using tobacco products,
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
as a gateway to drug use, tobacco use often results in other acts of rebellion by youth
including experimentation with illegal drugs and crime.
Retail Compliance Investigations. Retail 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 Division of Alcoholic Beverages
and Tobacco (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, including the creation of a file for each operative, This file should contain, at a
minimum, a parental permission form, a copy of the operative's drivers license or birth
certificate and a photograph of the operative taken each day he/she is utilized, All
underage operatives must be under 17 years of age, and obviously underage in
appearance and dress, For males, no facial hair will be allowed, Females should wear
neither excessive makeup nor revealing attire, Further, all participating agencies, their
personnel and their charges are expected to conduct themselves in a professional manner
in accordance with the uniform standards of conduct for law enforcement. 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. All
arrest and citation procedures will be conducted according to the standards of care set
forth for law enforcement agencies.
Tobacco Possession Enforcement. These investigations are designed to enforce Florida
law prohibiting the use of tobacco products by persons under 18 years of age.
Investigations generally will be conducted at local schools but may also occur wherever
youth are known to gather, The CONTRACTOR shall identify and issue citations to youth

in violation, thereby discouraging the use of tobacco products. All citation procedures will
be conducted according to the standards of care set forth for law enforcement agencies.
2. Reimbursement
Funding for the SPTE Program comes from Florida's settlement with the tobacco industry,
The CONTRACTOR shall be reimbursed as invoiced by the CONTRACTOR according to
the number of completed SPTE units accomplished, Retail and Possession investigations
are not interchangeable, It is essential that reports and invoices accurately and thoroughly
represent the work completed. Invoices that do not meet the requirements of the SPTE
Program shall be returned unpaid to the CONTRACTOR for correction.
A SPTE Work Unit consists of 10 dedicated hours as follows:
1 WORK UNIT =
2 officers @ 4 hours each onsite
2 officers @ 1 hour Preparation. Travel and Report Writing
Total officer hours per WORK UNIT
= 8 hours
= 2 hours
= 10 hours
Officer Costs. Each CONTRACTOR shall submit on Agency letterhead all salary and
benefit information and work unit labor calculations, CONTRACTORS shall receive
reimbursement for costs such as FICA, Social Security, Workers' Compensation, Pension
and Health Insurance. However, officer benefits must be set forth based on the
CONTRACTOR's percentage of contribution, These established costs, including hourly
rates, shall be set forth in the Affidavit of Costs included in this CONTRACT.
Supervisory Costs. The CONTRACTOR may be reimbursed for supervisory costs
performed on an overtime basis. If the Agency Contract Coordinator or other person
responsible for the management of activities associated with this contract performs such
duties during off-duty hours, the CONTRACTOR may request reimbursement for a

3. Total Consideration for SPTE CONTRACTS
Each fiscal year, Tobacco Settlement funds are appropriated by the Florida Legislature to
DABT for distribution to local law enforcement agencies for the purpose of reducing the
availability and accessibility of tobacco products to youth. Pursuant to requests for
funding, contract award amounts to local agencies are determined by assessment of the
perceived need for tobacco enforcement in a given area and the perceived ability of an
agency to provide tobacco enforcement activities within their jurisdiction. Perceived need
for tobacco enforcement is based on the total youth population as well as the number of
public and private elementary, middle and high schools within a jurisdiction, Perceived
ability to perform tobacco enforcement activities is determined by the number of officers
within an agency and, when applicable, shall also include an evaluation of the agency's
past contract performance.
4. Site Selection
The SPTE Program shall be conducted 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 is expected to suggest locations for investigations.
Generally, all approved locations for tobacco enforcement will be within a one-half-mile
radius of a public or private elementary, middle, or high school. As a courtesy, and
whenever feasible, the CONTRACTOR shall attempt to notify the School Resource Officer
or School Principal when working tobacco possession enforcement in close proximity to
a particular school.
5. 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/or approved by the Administrator of the Office of Tobacco Control -
Enforcement. The required training is mandatory for participation in SPTE CONTRACT
work activities.

, ,
For reimbursement purposes, the CONTRACTOR shall furnish to the DABT District
Contract Administrator the names of its personnel who have been trained and who will be
participating in the SPTE Program. Officers may elect to repeat training sessions;
however, officers will be reimbursed only once for training. Specific instruction regarding
DABT policies and procedures for SPTE investigations and the use of underage operatives
will be presented during the CONTRACT training sessions,
6. Vendor Registration
Effective February 18, 2000, all current and new state vendors must register with the
Department of Management Services Vendor Registration System, Certification of Vendor
Registration or Re-registration is required for all contracts, contract amendments and

ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
ANALYSIS
In 1998, the State of Florida settled its lawsuit with the Tobacco industry, Funds from the settlement
have been given to the Department of Business Regulation, Division of Alcoholic Beverages and
Tobacco for the purposes of reducing the number 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 Free 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

school age youth, Retailer compliance investigations are designed to determine whether
vendors who are selling tobacco products are 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 Program, is to enforce
Florida's law relating to the underage possession of tobacco. The Tobacco Possession
Enforcement Program will be used to identifY and issue citations to youths in violation,
thereby discouraging young people from 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 ofthe ACTS Program 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 officers, This uncertainty should discourage
attempts by youth to illegally procure tobacco from retail vendors and result in reduced
availability of tobacco products by underage persons,
The ACTS 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 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 Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco will provide $29,983.44 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 December 31, 2000. If both parties choose so,
the programs can be renewed for additional terms at six months each.
There is no cash match required by the City,
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, 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. Tobacco use often results in other acts of rebellion by youth
including experimentation with other drugs and crime.
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Commission adopt the Resolution so that the Miami
Beach police Department can use these funds for enforcing laws that will deter young people from
using tobacco products,
