Staff Summary: Background The City adopted the Town Center Zoning Code by Ordinance No. 2006‐09‐90 on April 5, 2006. Based on a recent review of the permitted use verbiage in the Code by the City Manager, the City Attorney, and the Planning and Zoning Department, an amendment is deemed necessary to clarify wording under that section. In general, the City’s zoning code is based on the principal that if a use is not listed, it is prohibited. The new town center district was written with language that, in essence, says that unless a use is specifically prohibited, anything goes. This provision needs to be amended to reflect the balance of the City’s zoning code. Current Situation ITEM I-1) ORDINANCE FIRST READING City Town Center Zoning Code Page 23 of 324 1515 NW 167 Street, Building 5 Suite 200 Miami Gardens, Florida 33169 The following amendment is proposed. Also see Exhibit A. 1. Revise language, per strike‐out and underline (added) to Section 2. Permitted, Conditional and Prohibited Uses, Subparagraph A. Permitted Uses to read as follows: All uses, if not prohibited below or specifically permitted above but which can be construed to be allowed under these permitted uses, shall be deemed permitted prohibited. The attached ordinance is on first reading, and amends section 2 of ordinance 2006‐09‐90. Proposed Action: Staff recommends City Council approval of the attached ordinance to amend the Town Center Zoning District Regulations. Attachment: Exhibit “A” Excerpt of Code Page 24 of 324 1515 NW 167 Street, Building 5 Suite 200 Miami Gardens, Florida 33169 Exhibit “A” EXCERPT FROM TOWN CENTER ZONING DISTRICT Adopted April 5, 2006 Section 2.

I. PURPOSE This MOU establishes and delineates the mission of the ATF sponsored Firearms Interdiction, Reduction and Enforcement Strike Force, hereinafter referred to as FIRE, as a joint cooperative effort. Additionally, the MOU formalizes relationships between and among the participating agencies in order to foster an efficient and cohesive unit. This unit is capable of addressing the most complex cases, focusing on armed violent groups or gangs, firearms traffickers, armed career criminals, convicted felons and armed fugitives. The focus is on the aforementioned criminals who engage in the violation of federal firearms violations, and/or other armed violent crimes which are encountered by local, state and federal law enforcement in South Florida. It is the desire of the participating agencies to achieve the maximum inter-agency cooperation, in a combined law enforcement effort, that targets reducing violent criminal activity within all South Florida communities. The intent of this MOU is not to create any right or benefit, nor should it be construed as creating any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable by law or otherwise by any third party, against parties, the United States Government, officers, employees, agents, or any other associated personnel thereof. II. AUTHORITY This MOU is established pursuant to the participating agencies’ authority to investigate violent crimes. ATF’s authority derives from Chapters 40, and 44, Title 18, United States Code, and Chapter 53, Title 26, United States Code. III. ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE A. Composition The Strike Force is comprised of ATF, as the lead federal agency, U.S. Attorney’s Office, Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE), Miami-Dade County Police Page 36 of 324 Department (MDPD), U.S. Marshal’s Service (USMS), Homestead Police Department, and Municipal Police Departments. The Strike Force will also provide investigative support to traditional investigative units e.g., homicide, robbery, or narcotics in identifying and arresting offenders of mutual interest engaged in armed or violent criminal activity. Subject to availability, all parties agree to dedicate an appropriate amount of personnel to ensure the success of the Strike Force. B. Direction All participants acknowledge that FIRE is a joint operation in which all agencies act as partners in the operation of the Strike Force. An Executive Board, made up of the heads of the participating agencies, will be responsible for the policy and direction of the ATF sponsored FIRE Strike Force. The Executive Board will meet quarterly in order to collectively provide policy oversight. Membership on the Executive Board can be delegated by the law enforcement agency head to a designee. C. Supervision The day to day operation operation and administrative control of the F.I.R.E. Strike Force will be the responsibility of a Supervisory Special Agent (SSA) of the ATF or his /her designee with support of a Lieutenant from MDPD. The management of the FIRE Strike Force will be closely coordinated with the Executive Board. Responsibility for the conduct of the FIRE Strike Force members, both personally and professionally, shall remain with the respective agency heads. Responsibility for the conduct of each individual, who does not report to the ATF Group Supervisor or MDPD Lieutenant, and is assigned to the FIRE Strike Force, shall remain with the respective agency head. Each agency shall be responsible for the actions of their employees. The Strike Force members will be subjected to the personnel rules, regulations, laws and policies that are applicable to their individual agencies, respectively. ATF participants will continue to adhere to the Bureau’s ethical standards and will remain subject to the Supplement Standards of Ethical Conduct for Employees of the U.S. Department of Justice. IV. GUIDELINES The FIRE Strike Force was formulated under Federal guidelines pursuant to contracts (See Attachment -A) granting financial support administered by United States Attorney’s Office Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) to state and local law enforcement agencies. This program, demanded flexibility within participating agencies, in order to accommodate the trust of the federal resources in an effort to impact on the crime problem affecting defined areas within the United States. The obligations imposed on all participating agencies are for the purpose of attaining predestinated, mutually agreed upon objectives and goals. Use of the Strike Force Page 37 of 324 concept is intended to ensure well coordinated enforcement of all of the participating agencies. While assigned to the FIRE Strike Force, a clearly defined strategy will be adopted. The Task Force will not permit independent law enforcement operations or efforts, which violate the purpose, design or intent of the Strike Force mission. State and local law enforcement agencies under FIRE contracts will adhere to guidelines, policies and procedures and regulations encumbering the lead Federal Agency, while at the same time will conform to their individual agency policies and guidelines. Strike Force operations must meet Federal Task Force guidelines: • Department of Justice Policy (Attachment B) • U.S. Attorney’s Office (PSN) funding regulations (Attachment A) No law enforcement mission from the ATF FIRE Strike Force will be permitted without a unified sense of mission and purpose. Only with the approval of all participating agencies, through their designated site representative, and regulated within the program guidelines of the U.S. Government. Tactical operations, proactive and reactive, which affect or obligate the U.S. Government, or conflict with any existing governmental policies or restrictions on the part of the lead Federal agency or participating agencies, will not be permitted without the full concurrence of all participants. This is after appropriate protocol and required time concessions have been obtained and allocated. In the event of a procedural conflict or management disagreement with any two agencies assigned to the ATF FIRE Strike Force, the operation will cease immediately. No further effort in furtherance of the activity will occur until a resolution of the conflict has been reached, unanimously and without reservation. Jurisdictional conflicts will be resolved by the concerned agencies, whenever possible, at the lowest level. If resolution is not possible within the agencies the United States Attorney, Southern District of Florida, or designee, along with the State’s Attorney, or designee, designee, shall make a determination. The criteria for determining whether to prosecute a particular violation in state or federal court will focus upon achieving the greatest overall benefit to law enforcement and the public. Any question that arises pertaining to prosecutorial jurisdiction will be resolved through discussion among all investigative agencies and prosecutorial entities which have an interest in the matter. A. Assignment of Personnel The assignment of federal, state and local personnel shall be approved by their respective department head and coordinated with ATF. Assignment of Strike Force Officers is based on the officer’s training, past performance, or other factors relative to suitability. Page 38 of 324 a.

In addition, any payments to the confidential informant will also be documented according to ATF policy and procedures. The disclosure of ATF confidential informants to non-ATF FIRE Strike Force will be limited to those situations where it is essential to the investigative mission of the ATF FIRE Strike Force. Non-ATF FIRE Strike Force members may not make any further disclosure of the identity of an ATF informant, including to other members of the Strike Force.

INVESTIGATIVE FOCUS: Investigations conducted by the ATF FIRE Strike Force will primarily focus on the specific mission statement, to target firearms trafficking organizations, armed career criminals and convicted felons and gangs who use firearms in furtherance of their criminal enterprises. Priority will be given to targets that meet the Armed Career Criminal Offender profile -Title 18, USC 924(e), three (3) prior violent felony convictions, qualifying for enhanced sentencing of 15 years minimum mandatory Federal Page 41 of 324 prison. Strike Force members will adhere to the ATF Standard Operating Procedure manual when initiating investigations. Investigative information which does not meet the ATF FIRE Strike Force criteria should be referred to the appropriate agency or departmental entity with assistance provided by ATF FIRE Strike Force members. A. Target Identification Investigative targets will be selected based on intelligence information provided by informants, law enforcement agencies and cooperating witnesses. A complete background investigation will be conducted for each potential target. B. Investigative Procedure Investigations will be conducted in accordance with the ATF Manual Orders as set forth by required guidelines. C. Tactical Planning An ATF Operational Plan, ATF Form 3210.7 (Attachment -D), will be prepared while planning search warrants, arrest warrants, undercover purchases, buy-busts, and/or special undercover operations (i.e. flash rolls, reverse stings, etc.) by the Strike Force members and reviewed by the ATF Group Supervisor, the ATF Division Tactical Advisor (DTA). ATF Form 3210.7 is designated to identify critical elements and set parameters of enforcement operations in an effort to increase the level of preparation and safety of all special agents and Strike Force Officers. A briefing must be conducted for any operation as described above for which an operational plan is approved. Operational plans must adhere to ATF Miami Field Division Policy as well as ATF Orders. The operational plan will take into account the safety of citizens, safety of officers, and operational success. According to ATF Order 3210.1A (Attachment -E), dated February 18, 2005, each operational plan must be submitted to the Division Tactical Advisor (DTA) for review. All operational plans will be submitted 24 hours prior to the time of the planned operation. A briefing will be conducted for all Strike Force members and any other law enforcement personnel involved in the operation. Those who are not present for the operational briefing will not participate in the operation. • High profile arrests of armed offenders will be planned for predetermined sites when possible. Selected sites should afford the advantage of isolating subjects in a location that provides tactical benefits to the arrest team. • The use of SRT, K-9 Units and Aviation support will be considered when arrests of multiple armed offenders is planned. • Adequate time will be allowed for technical support personnel to install electronic devices to be used in the arrest scenarios.

Lethal Force Participants will adhere to the U.S. Department of Justice, Use of Deadly Force, ATF Orders 3220.1 (Attachment -F) policy unless the respective agency’s policies are more restrictive. If an agency’s deadly force policies are more restrictive, then the agency’s policy should be followed by non-DOJ participants. E. Evidence The decision as to which agency impounds physical evidence seized during an investigation will be based on what will build the strongest case. • Evidence should be impounded by the lead agency having jurisdiction in the court system intended for prosecution. Evidence generated from investigations initiated by the Strike Force Officer or ATF Special Agents intended for federal prosecution will be placed into the ATF Property and Evidence Vault. • All firearms seized by Strike Force Officers or ATF Special Agents must be submitted to the ATF Lab or Miami-Dade PD laboratory for fingerprint and/or DNA analysis and request a NIBIN (ballistics) examination. Once all laboratory examination is completed the evidence shall be placed into the ATF Property and Evidence Vault for proper storage. All firearms taken into ATF custody must be submitted to the ATF’s National Tracing Center for tracing. • Consultation with the assigned Assistant United States Attorney (AUSA) or Assistant States Attorney (ASA) should be made by the Strike Force member if any doubt arises as to the appropriate impounding agency. • Property impounded at the MDPD Property Bureau will follow procedures outlined in Miami Dade County Police Department guidelines. F. Seized Property The ATF shall be responsible for the processing of assets seized for federal forfeiture in conjunction with federal law and the rules and regulations set forth by the ATF and Department of Justice (DOJ). Forfeiture attributable to ATF FIRE Strike Force investigations may be distributed among the agencies participating in ATF FIRE Strike Force related operations. In the event that any property or cash is seized as a result of investigative activities governed by this MOU, the parties agree to ensure the equitable distribution of forfeited property, cash or proceeds from the sale of forfeited property.

Any agency that provides for court costs or costs for maintaining seized property shall be reimbursed out of any proceeds from the sale of seized property prior to the distribution of proceeds. VII. MEDIA All media releases pertaining to ATF FIRE Strike Force investigations and/or arrests will be coordinated and made jointly by all participants of this MOU.

ATF cannot guarantee the United States will provide legal representation to any Federal, State or Local law enforcement officer. Congress has provided that the exclusive remedy for the negligent or wrongful act or omission of an employee of the United States government, acting within the scope of his employment, shall be an action against the United States under the Federal Tort Claims Act ((FTCA), 28 U.S.C. § 1346(b), §§ 2671-2680. For limited purpose of defending claims arising out of ATF FIRE Strike Force activity, state or local law enforcement officers who have been specifically deputized and who are acting within the course and scope of their official duties and assignments pursuant to this MOU, may be considered an employee of the United States government as defined in 28 U.S.C. § 2671. See 5 U.S.C. & 3374 (c) (2). Under the Federal Employees Liability Reform and Tort Compensation Act of 1998 (commonly known as the Westfall Act), 28 U.S.C. § 2679 (b) (1), the Attorney General or his designee may certify that an individual defendant acted within the scope of this employment at the time of the incident giving rise to the suit. Id., 28 U.S.C. §2679 (d)(2). The United States can then be substituted for the employee as the sole defendant with respect to any tort claims. 28 U.S.C. § 2679(d)(2). If the United States is substituted as defendant, the individual employee is thereby protected from from suits in his official capacity. If the Attorney General declines to certify that an employee was acting within the scope of employment, the employee may at any time before trial petition the court to find and certify that the employee was acting within the scope of his office or employment 28 U.S.C. § 2679 (d)(3). Liability for any negligent or willful acts of ATF FIRE Strike Force members undertaken outside the terms of this MOU will be the sole responsibility of the respective employee and agency involved. Page 45 of 324 Liability for violations of federal constitutional law rests with the individual federal agent or officer pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of the Federal Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971) or pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 for state and local officers or cross-deputized federal officers. Both state and federal officers enjoy qualified immunity from suit for constitutional torts “insofar as their conduct does not violate clearly established statutory or constitutional rights of which a reasonable person would have known” Harlow v. Fitzgerald, 457 U.S. 800 (1982). ATF FIRE Strike Force officers may request representation by the U.S. Department of Justice for civil suits against them in their individual capacities for actions taken within the scope of employment. 28 C.F.R. §§ 50.15, 50.16. An employee may be provided representation “when the actions for which representations is requested reasonably appear to have been preformed within the scope of the employee’s employment and the Attorney General or (his) designee determines that providing representation would otherwise be in the interest of the United States” 28 C.F.R.§ 50.15(a). If an ATF FIRE Strike Force Officer is found to be liable for a constitutional tort, he/she may request indemnification from DOJ to satisfy an adverse judgment rendered against the employee in his/her individual capacity. 28 C.F.R. § 50.15 (c) (4). The criteria for payment are substantially similar to those used to determine whether the federal employee is entitled to DOJ representation under 28 C.F.R. § 50.15 (a). XI. DURATION This MOU shall remain in effect until terminated as specified below. Continuation of this MOU shall be subject to the availability of necessary funding. This agreement may be modified at any time by written consent of all involved agencies. This agreement may be terminated at any time by any of the participating agencies. The participating agencies may withdraw from this ATF agreement at any time by providing a 30-day written notice of its intent to withdraw to all other participating agencies. Upon the termination of the ATF FIRE Strike Force and the MOU, all equipment will be returned to the supplying agencies. XII. MODIFICATIONS This agreement may be modified at any time by written consent of all involved agencies. Modifications to this MOU shall have no force and effect unless such modifications are reduced to writing and signed by an authorized representative of each participating agency. Page 46 of 324 XIII.

The Department will detach one officer on a part time basis (20 hours per week) for an indefinite period. All overtime expenses for the officer will be reimbursed by the Federal Government for the duration of the program. It is expected that when an operation is conducted in the City of Miami Gardens by the task force, there will be an ITEM K-2) CONSENT AGENDA RESOLUTION MOU w/U.S. Marshals Services Page 50 of 324 1515 NW 167 Street, Building 5 Suite 200 Miami Gardens, Florida 33169 increased law enforcement presence of up to 10 to 15 officers at any given time as a result of our participation. These operations will be coordinated by the U.S. Marshals Service with input from the participating agencies based on need and objective.

The Presidential Threat Protection Act of 2000 provides that, “the Attorney General shall, upon consultation with appropriate Department of Justice and Department of the Treasury law enforcement components, establish permanent Fugitive Apprehension Task Forces consisting of Federal, State, and local law enforcement authorities in designated regions of the United States, to be directed and coordinated by the United States Marshals Service, for the purpose of locating and fugitives. Terms and Conditions 1. Period of Performance: This MOU will be automatically renewed renewed annually based on written notification from the USMS, on or about October 1 of each new fiscal year. Participating agencies may withdraw their participation after providing 30 days advance written notice to the Assistant Chief Deputy or Task Force Coordinator. Participating agencies entering into this MOU are not committed to any period of performance other than the dates listed above. However, this MOU will remain in force for agencies requesting to remain on the RFTF or task force upon the cessation of the operation. The terms of this MOU will commence on or about March 5, 2009. Page 55 of 324 2. Overtime Reimbursement: Should funds be available, the USMS shall reimburse your organization for overtime hours. If overtime is compensated, the agency must submit within 30 days after receipt a fully executed MOU. Reimbursement of overtime work shall be consistent with the Fair Labor Standards Act. Overtime per law enforcement officer is capped at no more than $15,572 per year. Reimbursement of overtime shall be contingent upon the submission of a proper invoice on a quarterly basis within 30 days after the close of the quarter. The fiscal year quarterly billing periods are Oct-Dec, Jan-March, April-June, and July-September. Failure to submit a proper invoice within 30 days after the close of the quarter will preclude reimbursement for the overtime incurred within the quarter. A proper invoice identifies the agency name, address and MOU, as well as the names of the investigators who incurred overtime for the task force during the quarter. The invoice should reflect the number of overtime hours incurred; the hourly regular and overtime rates in effect for each investigator, and the total quarterly cost. All invoices for overtime from operation “Orange Crush” must be submitted within 30 days after the operation completion. The invoice should be submitted to the Task Force Chief, who will review the invoice, stamp and sign indicating that services were received and that the invoice is approved for payment; and forward to USMS District Headquarters for processing. Documentation supporting the summary level quarterly invoice will be maintained by the Task Force Chief, and only the summary level quarterly invoice will be forwarded to USMS Headquarters. Group supervisors are responsible for scheduling the duty hours of the personnel assigned to their group, subject to the supervision of the Task Force Chief and the availability of overtime compensation. Agencies will receive a purchase order or financial MOU specifying the amount of overtime available and the dates for which the overtime is allotted. This MUST be received by the agency prior to incurring any overtime reimbursable by the United States Marshals Service. Agencies within the District may join the task force at any time with the consent of the USMS and after consultation with the Task Force Advisory Committee. Agencies that wish to join will sign a copy of the existing MOU for the District. 3. Personnel and Supervision: The DTF/RFTF will consist of law enforcement and administrative personnel from federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies. Each participating agency may agree to assign at least one full-time law enforcement officer to the task force. Other law enforcement officers may assist with task force operations as necessary. Direction and coordination of the DTF/RFTF shall be the responsibility of the USMS Task Force Chief. Subject to the needs of the DTF/RFTF, participating agencies may assign supervisory personnel to serve as group supervisors within the task force. Each group supervisor will be responsible for the operational supervision of a multi-agency group of federal, state, and local law enforcement officers assigned to the task force. The current task force, if applicable, will be integrated within the DTF/RFTF to formulate a joint task force with a greater scope of responsibility and wider area of coverage.

Background Investigations and Special Deputation: Personnel assigned to the task force may be required to undergo background investigations in order to be provided access to USMS offices, records, and computer systems. In the event that such background investigations are required by the USMS for state or local personnel, the USMS shall bear the costs associated with those investigations. Non-USMS law enforcement officers assigned to the task force will be deputized as Special Deputy U.S. Marshals. Special Deputations will be in effect only when the deputized task force officer is assigned to the task force and is performing task force duties. 7.

Furthermore, if you would refer to City Ordinance #2004‐08‐24(see attachment) on page 6 of 12 of Appendix A, the annual fee for an insurance company (code 1350) is $200.00. Historically, it has been very difficult for municipalities to know which insurance companies conduct business in our city if they do not have a physical office within the city limits. Therefore, the cities across Florida have been losing tax revenues. A few years ago, the Florida League of Cities (the “League”) ITEM K-3) CONSENT AGENDA RESOLUTION Agreement w/Florida League of Cities Page 60 of 324 1515 NW 167 Street, Building 5 Suite 200 Miami Gardens, Florida 33169 developed a program to help cities pursue these revenues by developing a database with the insurance company’s information and where they do business. Based on this information, the League was able, under the law, to go back 6 years and collect past due license fee revenues. Attached for Council review is a report prepared by the League which contains a summary of the program, a listing of revenues obtained for other municipalities in the State for FY2006 and FY2007, as well as a copy of the agreement the City would execute in order to participate in the program. Since there is no baseline data regarding this information, staff has no way to estimate an exact amount of revenue that can be recovered at this time. However it is important to note that the cost to the City is listed in the attached agreement (Attachment A) under paragraph #5. The League will retain 50% of the amounts collected. In subsequent years, the City will bill these companies directly for the renewals and 100% of those revenues will be retained by the City. Proposed Action: It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to negotiate and execute the agreement with the Florida League of Cities for the investigation and subsequent collections of past due business tax license revenues from insurance companies doing business within the City limits.

Staff Summary: In 2007, a rash of senseless child murders motivated The Children’s Trust to contract with the City of Miami Gardens to develop a coordinated and comprehensive effort to prevent youth violence. The result of this effort was the creation of the Miami Gardens/Opa‐locka Violence Prevention Coalition (a collaborative partnership between several government and community based agencies throughout the Miami Gardens and Opa‐locka communities). The mission of the Coalition is to create “a web of ITEM K-5) CONSENT AGENDA RESOLUTION Contract w/The Children's Trust Page 135 of 324 1515 NW 167 Street, Building 5 Suite 200 Miami Gardens, Florida 33169 effective community solutions to empower and protect youth and families in Miami Gardens and Opalocka”. The primary goals of the Coalition are to reduce child murder and youth violence/crime through prevention, intervention, law enforcement (community policing), community engagement and social marketing strategies. During the first two years, program participants participated in a variety of violence prevention, family strengthening, life skills development, parenting education, and other activities sponsored by the Coalition’s community‐based organizations. Specifically, during the second year of this contract, the Coalition has provided services to and/or engaged 399 young people and 198 adults. 2009‐10 is the third and (projected) final year of this contract, in which the Coalition plans to serve 500 youth and 150 adults, targeting youth who are suspended from school and truants (major risk factors for youth violence/criminal activity). These youth and their families will have access to case management, youth development, family strengthening, violence prevention and pre‐employment training/job placement services administered by the Coalition and partners. Additional community engagement/mobilization activities will be sponsored by the Coalition to build public support for community‐wide violence prevention efforts. As the lead agency/fiscal agent for the contract, the City of Miami Gardens plays a major role in the implementation, documentation and reporting of all Coalition program activities. The contract provides funding for four (4) FTE project staff who works out of the Cloverleaf Park facility. Contract funding also supports the City’s Police Department (staff overtime for truancy sweeps), a Youth Police Academy, violence prevention training for School Crossing Guard staff, and several community outreach events. Proposed Action: It is recommended that the Council approve this resolution to allow the City Manager to negotiate and execute a contract with The Children’s Trust in the amount of $561,600 and to establish MOUs with community collaborators; thus allowing staff to proceed with enacting components of the proposal.

Program Summary: The Child Murder and Youth Violence Prevention Initiative is a combined effort of the City of Miami Gardens, the City of Opa-locka, and several non-profit service providers (Coalition ‘Partners’) that serve youth and families in Miami Gardens and Opa-locka. This group of various entities formed and represents the Youth Violence Prevention Coalition (YVPC). The Coalition’s mission is: “Creating a web of effective community solutions to empower and protect youth and families in Miami Gardens and Opa-locka”. The primary objective of the Coalition is to reduce child murder and youth violence/crime through prevention, intervention, law enforcement (community policing), community engagement and collaboration strategies. This initiative specifically engages at-risk youth, ages 10-18 (22 with disabilities), and their families. These youth and families are at-risk based on identified risk factors, including: 1) individual characteristics (low academic achievement or failure; truancy; poor social skills, including persistent disruptive, aggressive, and negative behavior in school); 2) family-functioning factors (family conflict – domestic violence, poor family management skills, poor role models); 3) peer influence (friends who engage in problem behavior, gang activity); and, 4) community and societal influences (poverty and discrimination; social acceptance of, or “look the other way” attitudes toward drug use, weapon use, minor crime, and teen sex and pregnancy; availability and easy access of drugs, alcohol, and weapons; and, low neighborhood or community attachment). While a majority of the young people participating in the initiative will simultaneously possess individual, family, peer and community risk factors, not all youth entering the program will be dominated by negative influences. By virtue of socio-economic statistics, all participants face community and societal negative risk factors. Some youth, however, may possess positive individual and family factors, and serve as a positive role model for their peers. The Coalition will also seek to identify and engage some young people and their families who can serve as a countervailing force against negative factors promoting violence and crime, and build on community assets/strengths. In 2009-2010, the Coalition will serve 500 youth, targeting youth who are suspended from school and truants (major risk factors for youth violence/criminal activity). These youth will be referred to the Coalition from various entry points. These include (but are not limited to) the schools, community-based organizations (including Coalition partner organizations), social service agencies, faith-based organizations, law enforcement, and community residents. All youth referred for program enrollment will be processed through a centralized intake system. City of Miami Gardens Page 15 of 40 Contract #925-301, Resolution 2009-32 Page 154 of 324 75 out of the 500 participants will receive intensive case management services. These youth will meet the initial program criteria of: 1) living in the cities of Miami Gardens or Opa-locka; 2) between the ages of 10-18 (and 22 with disabilities); and, 3) one of the following risk factors -a) attending a school in the service area; b) have 3 or more unexcused absences from school; c) have been suspended from school; and/or, d) are engaged in a high-risk behavior (including a history of substance, domestic violence and/or gang activity) may. These youth and their family, referred for case management services, will receive a thorough assessment, individualized service plan, and referral to an appropriate service provider(s), based on their specific need(s). Youth not referred to case management services will participate in various youth development, violence prevention and community engagement/mobilization activities administered by the Coalition and partners. Approximately 125 will also receive information and referral navigation services. The Coalition’s partners include organizations that have the experience, expertise and infrastructure to provide an array of services, ranging from early prevention to deep intervention. Through a set of diverse contractual and non-contractual relationships (including both direct reimbursement and fee-based arrangements), the Coalition will provide a wide range of activities for youth and families. Additionally, the Coalition will plan and facilitate a series of non-service activities (including rallies, meetings, forums, and social marketing initiatives) aimed at engaging and mobilizing other (non-program youth/families) community residents/stakeholders to create new community norms, expectations and culture based on peace, security and opportunity for all. The overall goals for Year 3 of the project include the following: 􀂃 The Coalition will fully implement a case management system, targeting suspended school youth and truants who are not yet considered candidates for ‘deep-end’ services, but who are potentially at-risk for immediate criminal and/or violent behaviors. 􀂃 The City of Miami Gardens and Youth Violence Prevention Coalition will focus on infrastructure development (program management, coalition development) and a strategic plan will be developed to guide the Coalition’s future work. 􀂃 The Coalition will implement a fee for service sub-contract arrangement for direct services provided by Coalition partner organizations. 􀂃 Community Policing will expand to include a victim/child advocate position. 􀂃 The City of Miami Gardens will work collaboratively with The Children’s Trust to convert the Child Murder/Youth Violence Initiative into a Service Partnership. 2. Program Schedule (limit to 50 words): This is the final year of a three-year an implementation contract. The program year dates are March 1, 2009 -January 31, 2010. 3. Target Population (Include numbers in table and a narrative description of participant characteristics, including ages, geography, disabilities, etc.): Population Total number of unduplicated participants (describe population below the table) 􀂃 Children/Youth 500 􀂃 Parents/Primary Caregivers 175 􀂃 Other community stakeholders 60 City of Miami Gardens Page 16 of 40 Contract #925-301, Resolution 2009-32 Page 155 of 324 The focus area is Miami Gardens and Opa-locka (zip codes 33054, 33055, 33056 and 33169). Participants include at-risk youth ages 10-22, their families, and concerned residents and stakeholders. The area is 68.17% Black (African/Caribbean-American), 26.93% Hispanic and 4.9% non-Hispanic White. Miami Gardens per capita income is $12,600 with 16.5% below poverty, compared to $21,587 nationally and Opa-locka is $9,538 with 35.2% below poverty. Poor economic conditions are linked to school problems. In the Coalition’s targeted middle schools, 35% of students (compared to 45% county-wide) read at grade level. Moreover, suspensions are an inflated 58% (compared to 36.9% of the district’s middle schools). The middle school truancy rate is 17.2% (compared to 12.2% for the district). Referrals to drop-out prevention programs are over 50% of high school students in the two cities. Truancy and suspensions are predecessors to arrests. The Miami-Dade School Police Department made the 3rd largest number of juvenile arrests in this area in 2006. In 2009-2010, the Coalition will primarily target youth who are suspended from school and/or truants for program participation. In addition, as a counterbalancing force, some youth involved in community leadership programs will be enrolled in the initiative. All of these youth will almost exclusively be middle-and high-school students. 4.

Staff Summary: In September 2006, the City received a letter of interest from the Department of Transportation, Florida Turnpike Enterprise (the “Department”) for the acquisition of a portion of City owned property, known as Rolling Oaks Park, for the expansion of the Miami Gardens Toll Plaza and construction of an administration building to service the tolls. The City placed its park renovation project on indefinite hold pending the negotiation settlement between both parties. In March 2008, the Department decided not to pursue the toll expansion project as it had changed its plans and decided to institute all electronic ITEM K-8) CONSENT AGENDA RESOLUTION Agreement w/FDOT Page 210 of 324 1515 NW 167 Street, Building 5 Suite 200 Miami Gardens, Florida 33169 tolling within the City’s municipal limits, thereby eliminating the need for traditional toll plaza and an administrative building both at Golden Glades and at Miami Gardens Drive. The City contended that the discontinuance of the park renovation project resulted in lost grant revenue, delays in permitting and cost savings in construction dollars. The lapse in construction time effected fees associated with design, administrative and construction. The Department concurred and offered, in exchange, a scaled down scope of improvements for the Golden Glades overpass which included the expansion of the existing noise wall northbound side and the southbound side of Florida’s Turnpike from approximately NW 173rd Street to 183 Street, bridge painting and landscaping within along the Turnpike. The City has elected to provide its own landscaping for the exterior wall of the southside of the Turnpike, providing reimbursement by the Department. The project is scheduled for completion by January 2010. The total agreement is valued at $2,296,145.65 from the Department’s budget; of which $95,087.85 is dedicated to enhanced landscaping by the City. Proposed Action: It is recommended that the City Council approved the attached joint participation agreement between Florida Department of Transportation, Florida Turnpike Enterprise and the City of Miami Gardens for the bridge aesthetics and noise wall extension improvement project.

Staff Summary: Earlier this fiscal year the Information Technology Department was unsuccessful in finding someone to fill the position of Network Security Engineer to monitor the security of our network, make changes when necessary and be able to troubleshoot and respond to threats and changes to our Police Department rapidly. Not only was finding a qualified candidate in our salary range an issue, but the candidate would also need to be a Certified Cisco Internetwork Expert. The salary average for someone with those certifications is $120,000. We also realized we would only need that employee to work parttime (up to 20 hours per week) and they would need to know our network and be able to respond from knowledge and not by taking time looking up diagrams and instructions. ITEM K-9) CONSENT AGENDA RESOLUTION Agreement w/AIP-US LLC Page 225 of 324 1515 NW 167 Street, Building 5 Suite 200 Miami Gardens, Florida 33169 Being unable to find a qualified candidate to fill this position, the City contracted with AIP‐US LLC to become our provider for Network Security Solutions. AIP‐UPS LLC was founded by the leading Network Engineer from BearingPoint, Inc. As a matter of fact, the founder (who will also serve as our Program Manager for this contract) was responsible for the design and programming of our entire enterprise security for the network at City Hall, the Police Department, and access from the parks back to City Hall. It is a small company that allows us individual and immediate attention. This resolution requests that we keep AIP‐US LLC as a service provider with at a negotiated rate of $50,551 for one year and providing the services remain satisfactory to the City, a renewal of $52,573 for the following year. Comparison pricing for contracting out this service is $210 per hour with other industry leaders. With the various threats to networks and internet security it imperative that we have this expertise available rapidly and have a vendor familiar with our entire enterprise. AIP‐US LLC provides the services needed below market price. Proposed Action: We recommend that City Council approve the expenditure of $50,551 to AIP‐US LLC for Network Security Solutions and Services for period covering one year with at renewable rate of $52,573 the following year.

The Florida Gold Coast Clean Cities Coalition is a public/private advisory board composed of state legislators, local government representatives, federal and state agencies, and private sector representatives concerned with alternative fuel programs. The role of the Coalition is to provide a fuel neutral policy direction to maximize the use of vehicles operating on clean alternative fuels throughout the five county area. This area is composed of Broward, Martin, Miami‐Dade, Monroe and Palm Beach counties. Council staff provides support to the Coalition through a contract with the Florida Department of Community Affairs. The mission of the organization is to reduce our dependence on imported oil and improve the environment by creating a sustainable alternative fuel market through the support and promotion of clean fuels. The goals established by the organization are: • To increase the acquisition and use of alternative fuel vehicles • To develop alternative fuel infrastructure • To contribute to economic development through the support of alternative fuel industry ITEM K-10) CONSENT AGENDA RESOLUTION Supporting Gold Coast Clean Cities Coalition Page 247 of 324 1515 NW 167 Street, Building 5 Suite 200 Miami Gardens, Florida 33169 • To promote the benefits of using alternative fuel vehicles • To gain legislative support and funding for alternative fuel vehicle programs In an effort to continue to be competitive in the receipt of Federal Energy Conservation dollars, city staff has been working a joint application with the Coalition to secure funding to assist converting part of our fleet to alternate fuels, but prior to their grant submittal, we must be members.

Staff Summary: Since the inception of the Miami Gardens Police Department, information on criminal activity has been received via a variety of methods. Communication of information to the Department is paramount in solving crimes and crime prevention. In support of this mission the concept of the TIPS Program was developed to be used as yet another vehicle for the Department to receive information in furtherance of creating a safer community. The TIPS Program will be implemented as an informational based, reward free system that will rely solely on information provided by residents and business owners. The Program will be implemented by the Police Department which will receive, track and measure the information received via the “TIPS” cards. Specific logs will be kept documenting the information that is received, actions taken and results if any. This Program is not meant to compete with Crimestoppers or the Gun Bounty Program, but instead to be another vehicle for the Police Department to receive information from the public much like information received now via telephone, letter and email. The cost for printing the TIPS cards and corresponding literature will be incurred by a local corporate sponsor. Additionally the Miami Gardens Jaycees are supporting this program as are local homeowners associations.

Staff Summary: In an effort to enhance community relations, share information and foster partnerships within the City of Miami Gardens (CMG) the Our Homes, Our Streets and Our Community initiative is being proposed for implementation. This initiative will involve direct participation of the Police Department, Neighborhood Watch Groups and community members interacting for the purpose of creating safer communities throughout the City. The initiative will consist of quarterly walks in communities that sponsor Neighborhood Watch Programs in order to boost membership, build police /community relations and gather information. Representatives from the Watch Programs will go door to door with police officers promoting the Neighborhood Watch concept and exchanging information with their neighbors. The success of the program will not depend on those joining, although it is the desired outcome, but instead on an increased awareness of who their neighbors are, who their police officers are and the building of a relationship between all involved. ITEM K-13) CONSENT AGENDA RESOLUTION Our Home, Our Streets, and Our City Community Initiative Page 292 of 324 1515 NW 167 Street, Building 5 Suite 200 Miami Gardens, Florida 33169 It is anticipated that nine neighborhoods will be targeted each quarter with a police officer assigned to each group. The content of the walks will be fluid and can be adjusted to meet the needs of the Department and/or the City if a specific event or incident has taken place. The overall objective of the program is face‐to‐face contact, which will create positive interactions. The City and the Department is taking this first step in order to engage our residents in order to enhance our process and create a spirit of trust and cooperation. A related component of this initiative involves the aesthetic condition of the homes and streets throughout the City. We know that how a neighborhood looks often has a direct correlation to its safety. Rundown homes tend to foster criminal behavior, in addition to negatively affecting property values. The City recently approved a Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area (NRSA) for the Bunche Park area, area, with the purpose of addressing the exterior condition of residential properties. This effort will include the exterior painting and fence repair of some of the homes, some street and drainage improvements, and possibly some tree planting along the public right of way. We will begin by targeting particular blocks within this neighborhood with the objective of creating “model blocks” that can be duplicated Citywide. An additional component of the Our Homes, Our Streets and Our Community initiative is to partner with the CMG Junior Council to create positive relationships in our middle and high schools. The Junior Council has been at the forefront of youth issues and can be enlisted to foster positive relations between community members, the Police Department and schoolchildren. Additionally the Junior Council can be instrumental in implementing Youth Crime watch programs, which are an integral part of prevention of crimes in our schools and communities. Costs for this initiative will be incurred from the Department’s overtime line item, which will cover the expense of officers being assigned to each group. The approximate yearly costs will be $6200.00. Results of the initiative will be captured and evaluated based on number of new Watch members registered and information received on open cases. Proposed Action: Councilman Oliver Gilbert recommends that the City Council approve the implementation of the Our Homes, Our Streets, and Our Community Initiative in the City of Miami Gardens.

Staff Summary: Background The enactment of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 was signed into law on February 17, 2009. Nationwide funding allocations are based on the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development’s (HUD) current distribution formula. In order to have an immediate impact, (HUD) has determined that the additional allocations shall be included as an amendment to the 2008-2009 Annual Action Plan. Congress has designated that $1.5 billion of these funds be used for the Homelessness Prevention Fund, also referred to as the Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program (HPRP), under Title XII of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. HPRP allows communities to provide financial assistance and services to either prevent individuals and families from becoming homeless or help those who are experiencing homelessness to be quickly re-housed and stabilized. ITEM M-1) RESOLUTION PUBLIC HEARING Homelessness Prevention Fund Page 301 of 324 1515 NW 167 Street, Building 5 Suite 200 Miami Gardens, Florida 33169 The federal legislation outlines eligible uses of the funding in a way that allows for flexibility at the local level to implement a prevention and re-housing strategy that best fits the community’s needs. Programs can be designed to include both primary and secondary prevention strategies. Primary prevention prioritizes those at imminent risk of homelessness and secondary prevention focuses on rapid exit from shelter and prevention of lengthy or repeated homelessness and its negative consequences. Current Situation As an Entitlement community, the City of Miami Gardens is eligible to receive $567,612 to carry out this program. In order to receive the funds, a substantial amendment to the Annual Action Plan must be submitted to HUD by May 18, 2009. Under the HPRP program, all funds must be obligated within two years (September 30, 2011) and all funds must be completely expended within three years (September 30, 2012). In order to meet this requirement, sixty percent (60%) of the funds must be spent within two years of the execution of the grant agreement with HUD or no later than August 1, 2011. There are four categories of eligible activities in this program including financial assistance, housing and relocation and stabilization services, data collection and evaluation. The program also provides five percent (5%) of the allocation for administrative costs. A myriad of services can be provided under the categories listed above. Some of these services can include: • Eligibility certification (once every 3-months) • Outreach and engagement • Data collection and evaluation • Short term rental assistance (up to 3 months) • Moving and relocation costs • Security and Utility Deposits • Legal services (for landlord/tenant issues only) • Arrearage of utility payments (up to 6 months) Given the May 18th deadline provided by HUD to submit the substantial amendment, it became necessary to combine the citizen participation requirement (public hearing) and the City Council resolution. Comments received during this public hearing will be incorporated into the substantial amendment document. A resolution substantially amending the third (3rd) Year Annual Action Plan is required in order to fulfill our obligations to receive these funds. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of the proposed resolution authorizing a substantial amendment to its third (3rd) Program Year Annual Action Plan.

HPRP allows communities to provide financial assistance and services to either prevent individuals and families from becoming homeless or help those who are experiencing homelessness to be quickly re‐housed and stabilized. The federal legislation outlines eligible uses of the funding in a way that allows for flexibility at the local level to implement a prevention and re‐housing strategy that best fits the community’s needs. Programs can be designed to include both primary and secondary prevention strategies. Primary prevention prioritizes those at imminent risk of homelessness and secondary prevention focuses on rapid exit from shelter and prevention of lengthy or repeated homelessness and its negative consequences. There are four categories of eligible activities for the HPRP program: • financial assistance, • housing relocation and stabilization services, • data collection and evaluation, • and administrative costs. These eligible activities are intentionally focused on housing—either financial assistance to help pay for housing, or services designed to keep people in housing or to find housing. Generally, the intent of HPRP assistance is to rapidly transition program participants to stability, either through their own means or through public assistance, as appropriate. The City of Miami Gardens has received a funding allocation of $567,612 by Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), for implementation of the HPRP. In order to be eligible for these funds, a Substantial Amendment to the FY 2008‐09 Annual Action Plan is required. Recommendation: After reviewing the HPRP guidelines and eligible activities, staff recommends the implementation of a Homelessness Prevention Program in the City of Miami Gardens through the Department of Community Development that will provide financial assistance to residents that are at‐risk of immediate homelessness, including but not limited to, services listed below. • Eligibility certification • Outreach and engagement • Legal Services (rental only) • Data collection and evaluation Page 306 of 324 City Miami Gardens HPRP Outline & Recommendation Page 2 • Short‐term rental assistance • Moving and relocation costs • Security and Utility Deposits • Arrearage of Utility Payments The program will be administered through a sub‐recipient agreement or through direct services provided by the Department. Participants must meet the eligibility criteria of 50% or below Area Median Income (AMI) for the program. The Department will issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) to partner with an appropriate not‐for‐profit organization having the capacity to administer the program. Under the HPRP program, all funds must be obligated within two years (September 30, 2011) and all funds must be completed expended within three years (September 30, 2012). In order to meet this requirement, sixty percent (60%) of the funds must be spent within two years of the execution of the grant agreement with HUD or no later than August 1, 2011. Challenges: One of the greatest challenges will be identifying residents that meet the eligibility eligibility criteria. While there is a great need for this type of assistance, many of the individuals and families applying for similar types of assistance do not meet the 50% or below AMI requirement. Another challenge will be in the area of outreach and engagement. In past programs, residents have indicated that they are not aware of certain programs and services provided at the City. Reaching the intended population will be imperative for the success of the program. Below is a table showing income eligibility.

Citizen Participation and Public Comment 1. Briefly describe how the grantee followed its citizen participation plan regarding this proposed substantial amendment (limit 250 words). Response: As required by the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Rules and Regulations, the City of Miami Gardens complies with regulation 24 CFR 91.105, Citizen Participation Plan for local governments. The City has adopted a citizen participation plan that sets forth the City’s policies and procedures for citizen participation. The City will advertise proposed allocations and the availability of Federal funds in newspaper of local circulation and on the City’s website. Notices will also be circulated to schools, places of worship, and public facilities throughout the community to encourage participation by low and moderate‐income persons, particularly those living in slum and blighted areas of the City, as defined by HUD, and in areas where CDBG funds are proposed to be used.

Response: Collaboration between all city departments applying for funding under the Recovery Act have been established by the City to coordinate maximum benefit to similar target populations. Other departments applying for funds under the Recovery Act include but are not limited to the police department (Dept. of Justice), Parks and Recreation (Dept. of Health and Human Services), Public Works (Florida Dept. of Transportation & Miami‐Dade County). Additionally, the department of community development will be submitting application for funding from the Dept. of Energy (Energy Efficiency & Conservation Block Grant). 2. Briefly describe how the grantee plans to collaborate with appropriate Continuum(s) of Care and mainstream resources regarding HPRP activities (limit 250 words). Response: The City of Miami Gardens in partnership with Miami‐Dade County Homeless Trust operates under the Miami‐Dade County Community Homeless Plan. The Miami‐Dade County Homeless Trust serves as the lead agency implementing a countywide strategy to serve homeless individuals and families throughout the Formatted: Justified Page 314 of 324 Substantial Amendment to the Consolidated Plan 2008 Action Plan for the Homelessness Prevention and Rapid Re-Housing Program (HPRP) 7 HUD-40119 community. The Homeless Trust pools the Entitlement Jurisdiction funds for all of Miami‐Dade County to fund a wide variety of Homeless Assistance programs. The City of Miami Gardens along with the cities of Miami, Miami Beach, Hialeah, and North Miami has joined in partnership with the Miami‐Dade County Homeless trust to provide countywide Homeless Assistance Services. The Homeless Trust pools the Entitlement Jurisdiction funds for all of Miami‐Dade County to provide a wide variety of Homeless Assistance Programs. These funds will go directly to Miami Dade County for regional distribution. The City of Miami Gardens has mirrored the priorities of the Homeless Trust as our regional service provider. 3. Briefly describe how HPRP grant funds for financial assistance and housing relocation/stabilization services will be used in a manner that is consistent with the grantee’s Consolidated Plan (limit 250 words). Response: The consolidated plan states that the determination of homeless needs is based on countywide homeless census reports done twice yearly by the Miami‐Dade Homeless Trust Individuals and families who are at risk of homelessness are served through a countywide Homeless Helpline, which provides case management, rental, mortgage and utility assistance to those at risk of homelessness. This category includes people who are facing evictions, living doubled up, or are un/underemployed. The City of Miami Gardens will accept referrals from the Homeless Helpline for its financial assistance and housing relocation/stabilization services.

Crew City Manager DATE: April 13, 2009 SUBJECT: Stimulus Grants __________________ ____________________________________________________________ Please see APPENDIX 1 (pages 2 & 3) for a listing of American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA/Stimulus) projects for which the City has received notice of an award. On several of the awarded grants, we have only received notice of the amount as the rules and regulations are still being prepared by the respective Federal departments. Even though we have received notice of award, the City must still complete and submit a detailed Federal application. Most of these are due in the April-May timeframe. APPENDIX 2 represents those projects for which the City is filing a competitive application for assistance. These are not automatic and staff estimates that chances for success for an award under the competitive portion will range from very likely to very very unlikely, but we are trying to secure as much as we can. Department of Justice COPS Grants One of the competitive grants that we have applied for is from the Department of Justice (DOJ) COPS Grant Program. You may be familiar with this as it was part of President Clinton’s “100,000 Cops” initiative. The grant is for a three year period, after which the City must pick up the on-going costs. Because of this required obligation, it is important that the City Council understand the financial implications of receiving this grant. Since the grant deadline has passed for the COPs grants, staff has already applied; however, if City Council decides it does not want to take the required financial actions, the City can withdraw the application. The City’s application for COPs officers requests the addition of 27 fulltime police officers. Seven civilian dispatch positions are being requested in a separate application. This would be a major addition to the force but would enable us to take over the 9-1-1 function from the County and to add a true Community Policing component. Unfortunately, not only do we have to 1 ITEM N-1) REPORTS CITY MANAGER REPORT America recovery and Reinvestment Act Activities Page 318 of 324 assume the costs of these salaries and benefits after the initial 3-year period, but we have to use local funds for all of the equipment and other needs for the employees from day one. The spreadsheet below shows these associated costs and the funding it will take to financially meet these requirements. It should be noted that these figures represent the case where we are awarded all 27 officer position but not the dispatch positions. The recommended increases will be less if we are awarded fewer positions. We should know the exact amount before the tax rate is set in July.

Each of these increases would require a super majority of City Council to vote for the increase (at least 5 Council votes). It also would require a small equipment bond to pay for the vehicles and other equipment. 2 Page 319 of 324 What would such as increase cost the average resident? TABLE 2 below outlines illustrated the cost for the first year’s .13 mill l increase.
