Subject: Request for a Memorial Day Security Plan
Dear Mr. Gimenez:
V-
The City of Miami Community Redevelopment Agency ("CRA") is requesting that the
Police Department provide the CRA with"the operational option(s) for the potential
funding of a Special Security Operational Plan for the period spanning the Memorial Da
Weekend (May 23-27). This request is based upon the "fiasco" that occurred over this
time period last year on South Beach. The Southeast Overtown Parkwest and Omni CRA
Districts represent an extension of the businesses on South Beach. We will be best
served to be prepared for any overflow or movement from the South Beach area in
addition to the anticipated increase in patrons to our 24-hour Entertainment and
Firestation No. 2 Multimedia Districts for the same period.
Upon receipt of your plan, the CRA staff will be recommending to the Board for the
budget authority to move forward on a Special Security Plan for the Memorial Da
weekend. Additionally, we are currently studying the feasibility of formally petitioning
the City to establish a permanent Special Security District as a Taxing District, Special
Assessment District, or other appropriate designation, for the strict purpose of ensuring
the police presence necessary to preserve order and provide the required sense of securit
that will guarantee a positive impact on the tax base of the City of Miami. y

Honorable Chairman Arthur E. Teele
Vice -Chairman Johnny L. Winton and
Members of the Board of Directors of the
City of Miami Community Redevelopment Agency
Subject: Memorial Day Weekend Security Plan
Dear Sirs:
As you may or not be aware the City of Miami Beach has established twelve-hour
Alpha/Bravo shifts in anticipation of 500,000 or more visitors to the South Beach area
over the period spanning the Memorial Day weekend. In recognition of that fact, as well
as the fact that the Southeast Overtown Park West (SEOPW) 24 hour Entertainment
District and Fire Station No. 2 Multimedia District, still in its infancy, represents a
success to the City of Miami due to an overflow the businesses on South Beach.
It is our understanding that the SEOPW CRA 24-hour Entertainment and Multi -Media
District establishments have plans to make their establishments available to "out -of -
towners" who are not necessarily familiar with the rules and customs of our City. It is
our goal to establish a strong sense of police/security presence. The CRA has taken the
opportunity to discuss these plans for the area with business owners and they have
embraced this idea with great enthusiasm realizing that this service will be to their direct
benefit by having the City of Miami Police Department controlling the flow of traffic,
vehicular as well as people; monitoring the movements of the homeless and other
vagrants; and minimizing crimes of opportunity.
Respectfully,
Annette E. Lewis
Acting Executive Director
