W J. oeman, City Clerk - 4 - 11635 • CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: Honorable Mayor and DATE: Members of the City Commission SUBJECT: FROM: REFERENCES Walter J. FoL ENCLOSURES: City Clerk RECOMMENDATION: March 18, 1998 FILE : Proposed Resolution: Authorize City Clerk to express interest in City of Miami becoming an Authorized Passport Acceptance Facility. It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached resolution authorizing the City Clerk to formally correspond in writing to the U.S. Department of State Office of Passport Services, expressing the City of Miami's interest in becoming an authorized passport acceptance facility. BACKGROUND: Currently, citizens desiring to obtain passports must submit their applications in person to the • Office of Passport Services, U.S. Department of State, Federal Building (Monday through Friday between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.). Section 51.21, Title 22 of the Federal Code of Regulations provides for additional designations for authorized passport acceptance facilities. To this end, the U.S. Secretary of State, in response to Vice President Gore's proposal for more efficient government, has provided for municipal clerks (through the governing bodies of their respective municipalities) and other local government agencies to serve as authorized passport acceptance agents. Because of the increased volume of over the counter requests for passports, there is a need to increase the number of acceptance facilities. The aforementioned Miami office processes approximately 350,000 applications -annually or approximately 350-400 a day. Because of a change in policy (effective April 20, 1998, the Office of Passport Services will move toward an automatic appointment system), there is an increase need for an acceptance facility south of the (Circuit Court) downtown area. The Cutler Ridge location is the nearest passport acceptance facility (which is approximately 25 miles south of downtown) south of the downtown area (south of Flagler Street). Based on the projected number of referrals from the main processing office, it is estimated that between 100 and 200 referrals (during the normal business cycle) a day can be forwarded to the City Clerk's Office. [Note: It is estimated that during peak season (March -July), and on Naturalization days (when the Immigration and Naturalization Service swears in new U.S. citizens) as many as 500 passport applicants may appear at the City Clerk's Office]. Effective February 1, 1998, for each passport application accepted, a $15 processing fee is collected which the City of Miami would be permitted to retain. This will become a recurring revenue source. Based on the preliminary projections provided by the Customer Service Manager of the Miami Region, the City could realize between approximately $380,000 and $780,000 annually.

Their responsibilities will be as follows: -Examine the application and ensure that it is completed in full, by the applicant -Screen the citizenship evidence and photographs for acceptability -Record the identification fully and accurately -Collect required fees and make sure the check or money order is in the correct amount and payable to the U.S. Passport Service ' -Execute the application by having the applicant swear or affirm as to the truth of the statements given and witness the applicants signature on the application -Sign the application and place the authorized seal of the acceptance facility in the execution section of the application -Ensure the passport applications are forwarded to the passport agency or the contracted bank for the deposit of the fees on a daily basis c: Jose Garcia -Pedrosa, City Manager .
