Q J S , IIICITY ATT W362:CSK 4 11557 TO FROM Is CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission dward Marq e City Manage RECOMMENDATION: DATE: OCT 2 FILE SUBJECT: Proposed Emergency Ordinance REFERENCES: STOP Violence ENCLOSURES: Against Women Grant It is respectfully recommended that an Emergency Ordinance establishing a Special Revenue Fund entitled: "STOP Violence Against Women," accepting a grant from the Office of the Governor, Task Force on Domestic and Sexual Violence, in the amount of $227,032.00, and appropriating said funds for the operation of same, be adopted. BACKGROUND: The Miami Police Department has approximately 6,000 reported cases of domestic violence annually and has investigated thirty nine (39) domestic violence related deaths from 1994 to 1996. From 1995 to 1997, the Miami Police Department received 12,344 calls for service that were domestic violence related. The STOP Violence Against Women Grant Program will provide critical second year funding for the current Domestic Violence Intervention (DVI) Program, and expand it by creating a process for rapid enforcement of legal remedies for domestic violence and for containing the offender through direct and coordinated application of community resources and track the case until the victim is safe. This program will be called REACT. The DVI REACT project will place a culturally sensitive, highly trained staff person at the immediate scene of a domestic call in an effort to begin mobilizing resources to provide as well as aid in getting legal and support services. To accomplish this task, the Office of the Governor, Task Force on Domestic and Sexual Violence, has authorized a grant, in the amount of $227,032.00, to be used towards the payment of salaries, reporting requirements, and training. The total grant includes a $77,032.00 required of the City of Miami; however, the match is for in -kind services consisting primarily of salaries and office supplies. The Grant period is from September 1, 1997 to February 1, 1999. It is, therefore, necessary to enact an Emergency Ordinance so that the Grant may be accepted and utilized to its full potential. ff 11557 1 A •z V1 MIAMI DAILY BUSINESS REVIEW Published Daily except Saturday, Sunday and Legal Holidays Miami, Dade County, Florida.
