,in-IJtc Ordinance for Fee
Increase for Taking
Fingerprints, Photographs
ikEPERE}.hr and Notary Service
ENcLO. a L'E,
The attached ordinance, which I am recommending, is submitted for.
your review and inclusion on the agenda for the City Commission
meeting on September 27, 1979..
This ordinance will amend Section 43-8 of the City Code by increasing
the fee for taking and furnishing of fingerprints. In addition, the
ordinance will authorize the Police Department to take and provide
photographs of persons upon request for five dollars ($5.00) per
photograph and to notarize signatures for fifty cents (500 per
certificate,
FINGERPRINTING INSIDE THE POLICE DEPARTMENT
The last fee increase for this service was in 1976, when the charge
was increased from one dollar to five dollars. The Miami Police
Civilian Identification Detail processed 1,454 applicants for finger-
print cards during the period of January 1, 1978, through June 30,
1978. During the same period for 1979, 2,748 applicants were pro-
cessed. This represents an 89% increase for the first six months
over the previous year. If this increase remains proportional for
the remainder of 1979, approximately 5,398 applicants will be pro-
cessed during 1979:
The following figures represent potential revenue for 1979 at $5.00
and the projected earnings providing the fee increase of $8.00 is
approved effective January 1, 1980. This figure for 1.980 does not
reflect an increase in applicants since the effect of the rate in-
crease on the number of applicants expected during 1980 cannot be
determined at this time:
1978 - 2,856 applicants @$5.00 = $14,280
1979 - 5,398 applicants @$5.00 = $26,990
1980 5,398 applicants @$8.00 = $43,184
FINGERPRINTING OUTSIDE THE POLICE DEPARTMENT
The revenue potential provided by the fee increase from eight dollars.
($8.00) to twelve dollars ($12.00) for fingerprinting outside the
Police Department cannot be established as this service was not pro-
vided during 1978 or as yet in.1979. This practice has been suspended
due to the shortage of available personnel.

PHOTOGRAPHS
September 14, 1979
Ordinance for Fee Increase
The Civilian Identification Detail could provide regular photographs
with a minimum of effort and cost. The fee of five dollars ($5.00)
per photograph would cover materials and labor leaving a good profit
margin.
Most requests for photographs at the present time are for passport
photos. Passport photos differ from regular photos due to the restric-
tions of quality, size and the requirement of two identical poses to be
made simultaneously. To provide passport photos, a special camera will
have to be purchased. This camera would cost $458.15 plus $55.00 for
a tripod. The recommended camera is a Polaroid Model 202-2 available
at Pittman Photo Supply or Treck Photo Supply. The same type of
polaroid film currently in use can be used. This service of passport
photos could necessitate additional trained personnel.
The revenue potential appears good because of the numerous requests
for this service received daily by Civilian Identification.It ap-
pears numerous persons requesting fingerprint cards also need pass-
port and/or regular photos.
NOTARIZATION SERVICE
The providing of a notarization service for fifty cents (50) would
be the same fee now charged by Dade County. Most requests for this
service are for out-of-state or out -of -country papers (example: visas).
The law requires that for a regular notary in the State of Florida to
notarize any out-of-state papers, they must first record their notary
certificates at the Dade County Courthouse, 73 West Flagler Street,
Room 133. There is a recording fee of $4.00 for each notary.
As most of our present requests are for out-of-state notarizations,
this expenditure would seem appropriate. The revenue potential does
not seem as great as that of the other services but would provide a
service that often accompanies requests for a fingerprint card or
photo. If the City of Miami decides to provide this service, additional
personnel as notaries might be needed. The current cost to become a
notary of the State of Florida is $37.50 without insurance and $42.50
with insurance. The`$4.00 recording fee to Dade County would be an
additional cost and brings total amount to $46.50.
