RESOLUTION NO. 8fi--'1019
A RESOLUTION EXPRESSING THE FIRM CONVICTION
OF THE MIAMI CITY COMMISSION THAT NO MORE
JAILS SHOULD BE BUILT WITHIN MIAMI CITY
LIMITS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THERE ARE
MULTIPLE JAILS ALREADY LOCATED IN THE CITY OF
MIAMI AND BECAUSE FURTHER EXPANSION AND
CONCENTRATION OF JAIL FACILITIES IN THE CITY
IMPOSES AN UNFAIR AND INEQUITABLE BURDEN ON
CITY CITIZENS; FURTHER DIRECTING THE CITY
CLERK TO FORWARD A COPY OF THIS RESOLUTION TO
THE DADE COUNTY COMMISSION AND TO JUDGE
WILLIAM M. HOEVELER, U.S. DISTRICT COURT IN
THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA.
WHEREAS, the City of Miami is the site of existing county
jails and also has several state correctional facilities within
its corporate limits; and
WHEREAS, there is a gross disparity between the number of
such facilities located in the City of Miami as compared to the
location of such facilities in other municipalities in Dade
County;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF MIAMI, FLORIDA:
Section 1. It is the firm conviction of the Miami City
Commission that no more jails should be built within Miami City
limits due to the fact that there are multiple jails already
located in the City of Miami and because further expansion and
concentration of jail facilities in the City imposes an unfair
and inequitable burden on City citizens, until other cities in
Dade County have assumed their fair share of burdens in having
jail facilities located therein.
Section 2. The City Clerk is hereby directed to forward
a copy of this resolution to the Dade County Commission and to
Judge William M. Hoeveler, U.S. District Court in the Southern
District of Florida.
