THOMPSON, CLERK OF THE BOARD APPROVED AND COS O VILARELLO, ZAL COUNSEL ARTHUR E. TEELE, JR. CHAIRMAN SEOPW/CRA 03- 26 ITEM 16 1] CITY OF MI_AMI, FLORIDA LNTER-OFFICE MENIORANyDUM To: Chairman Arthur E. Teele, Jr. and Members of the CRA Board From: Frank K. Rollason CPA Executive Director RECOMMENDATION: Date: March 18, 2003 File: Subject: Omni and SEOPW Redevelopment District: Police/Private Security Presence Parkwest Entertainment District: Homeless Situation References: Enclosures: Resolution With the Winter Music Fest Program underway (began March 17, 2003) which will continue through March 24th and the fact that Club Space located in the Parkwest Entertainment District will be a major venue for this event, the Administration is recommending that a Resolution be adopted by the CRA • Board of Directors directing the Executive Director to work with Police Chief John Timoney, or his designee, to develop and implement initiatives for both the Omni Redevelopment District and the SEOPW Redevelopment District to increase police/private security presence and to increase security patrols and address the chronic homeless situation in the Parkwest Entertainment District. Further, it is recommended that the CRA fund an innovative 90-day Police Initiative, (which began March 13`h), to address the associated problems in the Parkwest Entertainment District in an amount not to exceed $50,000. JUSTIFICATION: It is evident that increased security measures are needed and warranted for both CRA areas with special emphasis on the Entertainment District. Whether it be for the security of those who reside or patronize facilities within the CRA or for those who may be interested in investing or operating a business, it is a basic tenant that security issues rise to the top of the list of concerns. Residents, visitors, and investors, alike, need to have a sense of security, and it is necessary that security patrols in all areas be stepped up. The starting date of March 13th is recommended in that the Music Winter Fest is set to begin March 17th and preparations for this event will begin in late February, early March. For these reasons, the Administration is recommending the attached resolutions be adopted by the CRA Board of Directors. Funding Source: SEOPW TIF Account Number: 689001.550108 FKR/em SEOPW/CRA O3` 26
