A RESOLUTION OF THE MIAMI CITY COMMISSION RECOMMENDING THAT THE

UPGRADE THE COMPUTER SOFTWARE SYSTEM USED BY THE DEPARTMENT
OF CODE COMPLIANCE IN ORDER TO INCREASE THE EFFICIENCY AND
EFFECTIVENESS OF CODE INSPECTORS FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE CITY AND
ITS RESIDENTS.
WHEREAS, the Code Compliance Department ("Code") computer software known as
"Cityview" is outdated, cannot be updated, and does not work efficiently; and
WHEREAS, Inspectors are unable to ticket daily violators due to a "glitch" that only
allows the posting of tickets when other like cases for the same property are closed; and
WHEREAS, Code and other departments needing to cite businesses and/or properties
for violations are unable to cite violators whose offices are located outside the City of Miami's
("City") jurisdictional limitations; and
WHEREAS, the current computer software only allows a violation to be noticed to a
property owner and not to business entity leasing said property; and
WHEREAS, it can take Inspectors up to forty (40) minutes to issue a single ticket due to
problems with the software and the fact that it cannot be updated; and
WHEREAS, upgrading the computer software as soon as possible is in the best interests
of residents and businesses of the City to allow for a more effective and successful Code;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI, FLORIDA:

adopted by reference and incorporated as if fully set forth in this Section.
