REFERENCES; Your June 25, 1998 Memo
ENCLOSURES:
I have reviewed the above referenced ordinances establishing and amending the
special revenue fund entitled "Victims of Crime Act,"
1. The date of adoption of Ordinance No. 11395 was September 12, 1996
therefore the reference to its adoption date in Ordinance No.11637 ought to be corrected
as a scriveners' error_
2. Further, Ordinance No,11637 if read together with Ordinance No. 11395 and
Ordinance No. 11572, in actuality amends Otdinance No. 11572 (which, in fact, amended
Ordinance No, 11395)
Therefore, in Ordinance No.11637 the dollar amounts are correct as in the
original, and the language referring to "Ordinance 11395, as amended" is correct,

City Manager
RECOMMENDATION:
SUBJECT:
FILE :
Proposed Emergency Ordinance
REFERENCES: Victims of Crime Act
ENCLOSURES:
It is respectfully recommended that an Emergency Ordinance establishing a Special Revenue Fund
entitled: "Victims of Crime Act," accepting a grant from the State of Florida, Office of the
Attorney General, in the amount of $31,661.00, and appropriating said funds for the operation of
same, be adopted.
BACKGROUND:
The Miami Police Department responds to approximately 100,000 calls per year where there is a
victim of a crime. Approximately 7,000 of these are homicides, child abuse, sexual battery or
domestic violence. All these victims have certain mandated rights in our state. Currently, most
victim services are handled by patrol officers, with additional assistance from investigators.
However, due to limited knowledge and time, victims of crime are seldom referred to available
services. Victims of crime, as well as the Police Department would greatly benefit from having the
services of an in-house Victim Assistance Counselor. To accomplish this task, the State of Florida,
Office of the Attorney General, has authorized a grant, in the amount of $31,661.00, to be used
towards the payment of salaries, reporting requirements, and training.
The Grant period is from July 1', 1996 to June 30'b, 1997. It is, therefore, necessary to enact an
Emergency Ordinance so that the Grant may be accepted and utilized to its full potential.
