Warshaw City Manager INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM DATE: JM 2 1999 FILE: SUBJECT: Surveillance Cameras for Little Haiti REFERENCES: ENCLOSURES: During the City Commission of April 27, 1999, Item #8, a request submitted by Hattie Willis was made to the Commission for surveillance cameras in the Little Haiti area. The North District staff met with the SIS Environmental Protection Squad to discuss the feasibility of Ms. Hattie Willis' proposal. The proposal submitted by Ms. Willis is not feasible because SIS Environmental Protection Squad has determined through their surveillance activity that cameras only provide intelligence information on the date and time of illegal dumping incidents. The total number of hot-wired surveillance cameras in her proposal was 30 and this is more than what is needed to accomplish the observance, arrest and deterrent of illegal dumping violators. These assessments are as follows: The SIS Environmental Protection Squad currently use four (4) surveillance cameras that are sufficient for determining date and time of illegal dumping occurrences. These locations will be monitored by SIS and SIDE watch surveillance officers to observe, arrest, and deter violators. In order to prosecute a case, a more elaborate unmanned surveillance camera would be needed. The cost is unreasonable with a declining number of occurrences since the implementation of SIDE watch and new strategies to address illegal dumping in Little Haiti. Cost of a surveillance camera is $2,000.00 each, which includes all equipment. Yearly maintenance is estimated at $400.00 per camera. The installation and removal cost is approximately $100. The daily review by a police officer is estimated at a weekly cost of $175.00; $9,100 annually. Cost of thirty (30) simulated surveillance cameras is $30.00 each. The installation and removal cost is approximately $100. This is a deterrent method to accompany a sign stating, "This area is electronically monitored for illegal dumping per Florida State Statute 403.413." • Locations will be selected and monitored by SIS Environmental Protection Squad and the North District Staff. Cameras will be placed in the most frequent illegal dumping areas within Little Haiti. 99- 446 Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission Page two Recommendations for the purchase of thirty (30) simulated surveillance cameras and accompanying signs would support the enforcement efforts currently utilized by the city departments to eliminate illegal dumping in Little Haiti.

Solid Waste Department to pick up all of the trash and debris from locations listed on public right of way list on Monday May 17, 1999. 3. Lt. Drane to provide the two lists to the officers designated to surveillance of dumping locations. They are to concentrate on watching illegal activities in those areas. 4. Major Darling to meet with SIS to insure that the patrol surveillance is not clashing with the surveillance cameras in the area. 5. Mr. Biamby to commence ten (10) day letter/posting period for the locations on the list describing dumping on private property. Next to each address, write in when is the lot expected to be cleared under lost clearing procedures. 6. Mr. Biamby and Lt. Drane are to create an informational flyer for the neighboring residences to the area where dumping is occurring to include: a) Highlight the importance of our battle against illegal dumping b) How illegal dumping affects the appearance of the neighborhood, as well as increases their taxes. c) What citizens should look for. (trucks after hours, etc.) d) What they need to do if they see an in progress dumping (call North District Substation at a designated telephone number, get tag #, description of vehicle, description of driver, passenger, etc. e) Applicable laws malting illegal dumping a crime. 7. Mr. Biamby to decide which of the locations on the list of illegal dumping on the public right of way need no dumping signs and install said signs.. 9- 41- 8. Mr. Bianiby to assign an inspector at least once a week to work late hours or weekends (or hours and dates when illegal dumping is more likely to occur) to work those hours patrolling the areas where illegal dumping occurs (from two lists). 9. Every Monday, the NET office is to conduct an inspection of all of the addresses on both lists. If no fresh dumping has occurred, then mark "OK" next to the address on the list. If new dumping has occurred, then mark with "ID" (illegal dumping). If new dumping is found at a new location, then the address should be added to the bottom of the appropriate list, with also the letters "ID". A copy of this report to be faxed by Monday afternoon to ACM Raul Martinez, Major Darling, Lt. Drane, Mr. Patterson and Mr. -Diaz. Lt. Drane to share those "ID" areas wherein dumping occurred while under surveillance, with the officers conducting said surveillancd. He should inquire from them, how and when did this occur. Mr. Patterson to conduct an immediate pick up of dumping on public right-of-way. Mr. Biamby to start lot clearing procedures for dumping on private property. 10. Lt.

Mr. Biamby to schedule an advertised day for citizens to get rid of their unwanted debris. Mr. Patterson to set up a manned roll -off for the listed location and date. This could be done jointly with the Saturday cleanups. 13. Lt. Drane has already designated specific officers to conduct surveillances in the area. (see attached memo). 14. Mr. Biamby and Lt. Drane to schedule a shopping cart pick-up operation every two weeks. Truck from Allapattah or pick-up truck from Police Department can be used. All carts gathered to be delivered to designated location at Solid Waste Department. 15. Mr. Biamby and Lt. Drane to meet with General Manager of the grocery store creating most of the shopping carts roaming around the neighborhood. Explain to the Manager the need for the store to do a better job at policing their carts, and the County Ordinance which makes them responsible. I will set up a meeting with the key players in the active groups in the Little Haiti community to discuss this plan with them. I believe that this approach will go a long way towards eliminating illegal dumping in the area. I will keep you abreast of weekly results.
