regnrdi.ng soloot ion of a prison site and a site for a. 150-bed
forensic. hospital.
The County mvmnrnndum which reenm vndvd three sites for a for-
ensic hospital *wi thin the City also expressed n desire for a
.joint meeting of the City and County C(miissions to discuss
this issue.
Theme sites proferre(l by the County include the former City In-
eLne'rai nr site, the Armor City of Miami Jail and the farmer
Valenl-i's restnurant. (Khnr potential sites such as the
existing State Offirp Building site and the parking lot next

Other sites that have potential in the area should be discussed,
for example, the existing State Office Building could be de-
molished tvi th the occupants moving to t hc- Government Center
in advance of the present. 1987 timetable. You may recall the
State has plans to build at least three office buildings in
the Government Center. Also, the vacant .Jackson Memorial
parking lot could be replaced by a joint development which in-
cludes a now parkin„' enrage with a forensic c hospital on top of'
the garage.
This is a preliminary report and the staff will be pleased to
provider additional information and analysis prior to a ;Joint
City -County mocti nq to discuss the location of a forensic hospi-
tal site.

FORENSIC FACILITY The State of Florida, Department of Health and Re
PROGRAM habilitative Services, proposes to construct a mental
hospital in Dade County for the complete mental health
treatment of forensic patients who will be predominantly
Dade County residents. The facility will provide patient
evaluation and treatment, personnel training and related
support functions. Such patients are in need of medical
care and are committed to the hospital by the court system.
Extensive amounts of patient and staff movement between
courts and medical facility will be required. For these
reasons, a site is desired for the forensic institution in
proximity to the Justice Building and the Jackson Memorial
Hospital complex.
An integral aspect of the rehabilitation of the forensic
patient is frequent contact with relatives and friends.
For this reason, and to provide for staff transportation,
it is important for the forensic institution to be ac-
cessible to public transportation.
The primary service area for this institution will be Dade,
Broward, Palm Beach and Monroe Counties. Therefore, access
to a north -south expressway is important.
The proposed facility would accommodate up to 200 patients
and cost of between $22 million to $25 million. Site
criteria for an urban site dictates the construction of
150,000 to 170,000 square feet in a verticle structure of
up to five floors.
ECONOMIC The institution would employ 375-450 people, at an annual
BENEFIT salary of $7.5 to $10 million.
