Payment to Dade County
REFERENCES:
ENCLOSURES:
It is respectfully recommended that a Resolution authorizing
payment to Metropolitan Dade County for the utilization of two
air rescue helicopters, at a cost of $89,054, be approved.
BACKGROUND:
The Police Department Aviation Detail originated in 1990.
utilizing the Law Enforcement Trust Fund as the source of funding
to establish the new program. At that time an agreement was
entered into by the City of Miami and Metropolitan Dade County
for the lease of two air rescue helicopters. Since that time the
Detail has become an invaluable tool in the daily operations of
the department. The Aviation Detail's primary responsibility is
to assist in setting up perimeters and tracking fleeing vehicles.
This reduces the likelihood of motor vehicle accidents due to
high speed chases. Other responsibilities include search and
rescue missions, and on an emergency basis, the transportation of
command and government personnel into areas of difficult access.
The value of the Detail was particularly evident in the aftermath
of Hurricane Andrew.
The police department included the Detail's funding in the FY 91-
92 General Operating Budget. Because of Dade County procedures,
and changes in the lease agreement, billing for the use of the
two aircraft was significantly delayed. This delay also affected
the presentation of legislation, authorizing payment, to the City
Commission. During this period, the Aviation Detail has flown
873.1 hours, at a cost of $122,234. Of this amount, only $49,980
has been paid to date. An additional three months has lapsed
since the police department has received an invoice, at an
estimated cost of $16,800. The balance, now due and owing to
Metropolitan Dade County, through December of 1992, is $89,05.4.
