no relative of any officer, board of director, manager, or supervisor employed by the Provider shall be employed by the Provider unless the employment preceded the execution of this
Contract by one (1) year. No family member of any employee may be employed by the Provider if the family member is to be employed in a direct supervisory or administrative relationship
either supervisory supervisory or subordinate to the employee. The assignment of family members in the same organizational unit shall be discouraged. A conflict of interest in employment
arises whenever an individual would otherwise have the responsibility to make, or participate actively in making decisions or recommendations relating to the employment status of another
individual if the two individuals (herein sometimes called "related individuals") have one of the following relationships: 1. By blood or adoption: Parent, child, sibling, first cousin,
uncle, aunt, nephew, or niece; 2. By marriage: Current or former spouse, brother-or sister-in-law, father-or mother-in-law, son-or daughter-in-law, step-parent, or step-child; or 3.
Other relationship: A current or former relationship, occurring outside the work setting that would make it difficult for the individual with the responsibility to make a decision or
recommendation to be objective, or that would create the appearance that such individual could not be objective. Examples include, but are not limited to, personal relationships and
significant business relationships. For purposes of this section, decisions or recommendations related to employment status include decisions related to hiring, salary, working conditions,
working responsibilities, evaluation, promotion, and termination. An individual, however, is not deemed to make or actively participate in making decisions or recommendations if that
individual's participation is limited to routine approvals and the individual plays no role involving the exercise of any discretion in the decision-making processes. If any question
arises whether an individual's participation is greater than is permitted by this paragraph, the matter shall be immediately referred to the Miami-Dade County Commission on Ethics and
Public Trust.
Created on 10/20/2009 11:35 AM Page 4 of 14 This section applies to both full-time and part-time employees and voting members of the Provider’s Board of Directors. No person, including
but not limited to any officer, board of directors, manager, or supervisor employed by the Provider, who is in the position of authority, and who exercises any function or responsibilities
in connection with this Contract, has at the time this Contract is entered into, or shall have during the term of this Contract, received any of the services, or direct or instruct any
employee under their supervision to provide such services as described in the Contract. Notwithstanding the before mentioned provision, any officer, board of directors, manager or supervisor
employed by the Provider, who is eligible to receive any of the services described herein may utilize such services if he or she can demonstrate that he or she does not have direct supervisory
responsibility over the Provider’s employee(s) or service program. XII. CIVIL RIGHTS. The Provider agrees to abide by Chapter 11A of the Code of Miami-Dade County ("County Code"), as
amended, which prohibits discrimination in employment, housing and public accommodations; Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1968, as amended, which prohibits discrimination in employment

with or related to the Provider, is found by the responsible enforcement agency, the Courts or the County to be in violation of these Acts, the County will conduct no further business
with the Provider. Any contract entered into based upon a false affidavit shall be voidable by the County. If the Provider violates any of the Acts during the term of any Contract the
Provider has with the County, such contract shall be voidable by the County, even if the Provider was not in violation at the time it submitted its affidavit. The Provider agrees that
it is in compliance with the Domestic Violence Leave Ordinance, codified as § 11A-60 et seq. of the Miami-Dade County Code, which requires an employer, who in the regular course of business
has fifty (50) or more employees working in Miami-Dade County for each working day during each of twenty (20) or more calendar work weeks to provide domestic violence leave to its employees.

of new property, when suitable property required for the successful execution of projects is already available within the Provider organization, will be considered an unnecessary expenditure.
B. Screening. Careful screening should take place before acquiring property in order to ensure that it is needed with particular consideration given to whether equipment already in the
possession of the Provider organization can meet identified needs. While there is no prescribed standard for such review, the Provider procedures may establish levels of review dependent
on factors such as the cost of the proposed equipment and the size of the Provider organization. The establishment of a screening committee may facilitate the process; however, the Provider
may utilize other management techniques which it finds effective as a basis for determining that the property is needed and that it is not already within the Provider’s organization.

and managed to ensure that the equipment is used for criminal justice purposes. E. Management. The Provider’s procedures for managing equipment (including replacement), whether acquired

or other identification number, source of the property, identification of who holds the title, acquisition date, costs of the property, percentage of County participation in the cost
of the property (Federal funds), location of property, use and condition of the property, disposition data including the date of disposal and sale price; 2) a physical inventory of the
property must be taken and the results reconciled with the property records at least once every two (2) years; 3) a control system must exist to ensure adequate safeguards to prevent
loss, damage or theft of the property. Any loss, damage, or theft shall be investigated by the Provider as appropriate; 4) adequate maintenance procedures must exist to keep the property
in good condition; and 5) if the Provider is authorized
or required to sell the property, proper sales procedures must be established to ensure the highest possible return. F. Retention of Property Property Records. Records for equipment,
nonexpendable personal property, and real property shall be retained for a period of three (3) years from the date of the disposition or replacement or transfer at the discretion of
the County. If any litigation, claim, or audit is started before the expiration of the three-year period, the records shall be retained until all litigation, claims, or audit findings
involving the records have been resolved. XIX. RECORDS, REPORTS, MONITORING AUDITS, AND EVALUATION STUDIES. The Provider shall keep records of program services in sufficient detail to
