Gilchrist r+ Director Department of Development Recommendations DATE July 8, 1987 VILE SUBJECT Establishment of A Valid Public Emergency: Completion of the North District Police Substation REFERENCES ENCLOSURES The Department of Development, in conjunction with the Police Department, respectfully recommends that the need to develop and complete the North District Police Substation constitutes a valid public emergency based on the following summary of events and issues: BACKGROUND: In May of 1980 the City of Miami experienced civil disturbances in its primarily Black Communities. While the principal trigger of this violence was the verdict of not guilty in the trial of several white Metropolitan Dade County Police Officers accussed of killing a black businessman, the underlying problem of poor police/community relations was established as one of the root causes. Several different community interest groups began considering ways in which these and other serious difficulties and misunderstanding between Miami's Black Community and its local government might be improved and lead to mechanisms for physical and economic revitalization of the Liberty City Area. During the month of March in 1982 requests were made for and in support of the development of a Liberty City Police Substation from several major groups including the Martin Luther King Jr. Economic Development Corporation (MLKEDCO), Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard Coordinating Committee, Miami Community Police Benevolent Association, the Miami Times and the Model City Community Development Advisory Board. Community wide support for the facility culminated in May 1981, when MLKEDCO presented the City Commission with a petition containing 1200 signatures from the residents of the Liberty City Area pleading for the development of a police substation. Cesar H. Odio July 8, 1987 Page two Subsequent to the consideration of the different types of service and facilities that would be required to enhance police/community relations and economic development in the Liberty City Area, the City Commission, in May 1983, firmly established its support for the development of Police Substations in both Liberty City and Little Havana.

The North District (Liberty City) Police Substation was therefore established as an essential element for the social and economic revitalization and redevelopment of the Model City Neighborhoods, and a facility without which the economic welfare and safety of the community would remain at risk. Its development therefore became a top priority, with all procedures carried out in the most expeditious manner possible, in order to have it designed, constructed and open for use as fast as possible. With the City Commission's commitment to proceed on the Police Substation projects, initial plans began to be formulated related to the types of service to be provided and the method by which the projects would be funded. The City Commission subsequently established by Ordinance No. 9788, on January 26, 1984 that a bond issue would be placed before the voters at the Special Election in March 1984. On March 13, 1984 the voters of the City of Miami approved the levy and collection of ad valorem taxes to pay for the issuance of $20,000,000 in Police Headquarters and Crime Prevention Facilities General Obligation Bonds. Among the improvements to be carried out with these bonds was the development of the North District Police Substation to be located in Liberty City. Beginning in March 1983 MLKEDCO made inquiries about a 1.5 acre site located at 1060 NW 62nd Street. Meetings were held between t1' E7�r'k; Cesar H.

The lease for the property for the North District Police Substation was approved by the City Commission by Resolution 85-731 on July 18, 1985 and it was executed on September 18, 1985.
