VVHEREAS, the Omni Redevelopment District Community Redevelopment Agency ("CRA") is
responsible for carrying out community redevelopment activities and projects within the Omni Redevelopment
Area ("Area") in accordance with the 2010 Omni CRA Redevelopment Plan ("Plan"); and
VVHEREAS, Section 163.335, of the Community Redevelopment Act of 1969, (the "Act"), states that the
existence of slum and blighted areas greatly contributes to the spread of disease and crime causing economic
and social burdens to the community, thereby negatively affecting the tax base and impairing sound growth
within the community; and
VVHEREAS, Section 163.340(23) of the Act further provides a means for community redevelopment
agencies to address crime through "community policing innovations" which is defined as "policing technique or
strategy designed to reduce crime by reducing opportunities for, and increasing the perceived risks of engaging
in, criminal activity through visible presence of police in the community, including, but not limited to, community
mobilization, neighborhood block watch, citizen patrol, citizen contact patrol, foot patrol, neighborhood
storefront police stations, field interrogation, or intensified motorized patrol"; and
VVHEREAS, the Omni Board of Commissioners, has authorized funding for several prior community
policing innovation programs within the redevelopment area, including the Police Visibility Pilot Program, the
ShotSpotter, the CRA Police Camera Pilot Program, and for Enhanced Policing Services; and
VVHEREAS, the Interim Executive Director wishes to begin negotiations with the City of Miami ("City")
regarding enhanced baseline police services for fiscal year FY 23 — 24; and
