On April 27, 2006, the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 06-0256, allowing for
the utilization of current and future U.S. Communities Contracts on an as needed, when
needed contract basis, by city departments, subject to budgetary approval only. During
the adoption of this resolution, the City Commission held discussions on the purchase and
installation of publicly disclosed closed circuit television (CCTV) system in the City of
Miami utilizing said U.S Communities Government Purchasing Alliance Contracts. The
City Commission determined that it would be in the city's best interest for the general
public to be given the opportunity to be heard on their possible concerns with the CCTV
system and directed staff to schedule a public hearing.
U.S. Communities is a non-profit, nationwide strategic sourcing program designed by

Communities) established a national structure for local government agencies to make use
of their collective purchasing power and to improve the overall effectiveness of their
purchasing processes, sponsored by the Association of School Business Officials
International (ASBO), the National Association of Counties (NACO), the National
Institute of Governmental Purchasing (NIGP), the National League of Cities (NLC), and
the United States Conference of Mayors (USCM).
