SUBJECT: A Resolution authorizing the City Manager to renew and execute the contract to pay the
salary and vehicle compensation for the Deputy Director of South Florida HIDTA, Widell,
LLC, from the South Florida High Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (SFLHIDTA) grant in
the amount of $77,910.00.
BACKGROUND: The SFLHIDTA is a component of a group of federally funded task forces combating drug
use and trafficking throughout the United States. This grant will support initiatives
designed to implement the strategy proposed by the Executive Board of SFLHIDTA and
approved by the Office of National Drug Control Policy (ONDCP). While SFLHIDTA
requires the services of a Deputy Director, this organization is sponsored by federal grants
and does have the financial mechanism to perform payroll functions. Therefore,
SFLHIDTA requires a municipality that is not participating in the same retirement system
with that of the employee to act as a disbursing agency. The City of South Miami desires
to assist and support its federal law enforcement partners, of which SFLHIDTA is one.
The City of South Miami was awarded a grant in the amount of $77,910.00 from the High
Intensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA) Program with a grant period from May 1, 2013
to September 30, 2013, a five (5) month period. The City of South Miami will disperse the
sum of which are: Sixty -two Thousand, Eight Hundred and four Dollars ($62,804.00) in
salary and Three Thousand, Five Hundred ($3,500.00) in vehicle compensation to the
Deputy Director of SFLHIDTA, Widell LLC. The City of South Miami is a political
subdivision of the State of Florida, which agrees to act solely as a financial intermediary
and disbursing agent on behalf of SFLHIDTA and the Contractor and will be compensated
in the amount of $1,558.20,(2% of the Award amount).

Honorable Mayor and Commissions,

I regret that I cannot attend today's meeting to speak to you in person about the merits of
working with the South Florida HIDTA as the grant recipient for the Deputy Director's
position. As the Director of the National HIDTA Assistance Center I have the opportunity to
observe the successful application of the HIDTA model in all twenty-eight regions of the
country.
The "model" offers the opportunity for each community to give input on the definition of the
"regions" narcotics threat and defines strategies to combat the trafficking of illegal narcotics in
our communities. The model recognizes that to combat drug traffickers in the region and in
any one community, we must work collaboratively with our Federal, State, Local and Tribal
Partners.
To accomplish the mission, the HIDTA model asks each member of the community of law
enforcement agencies to contribute to the process. One of the many ways communities can
contribute is to assume the responsibility for contracting one or more of the key HIDTA
Personnel who organize the day - today efforts of the local program office.
Last year, the City of South Miami elected to support the South Florida HIDTA Program by
assuming the contract for the Deputy Director's position. The Deputy is one of the important
leaders responsible to assure the HIDTA stays focused on its mission and meets the stated
performance goals. Today, the City Manager places in front of you a request to extend the
contract and allow the Deputy Director to continue his efforts on behalf of the HIDTA
Program.
I sincerely appreciate the support you have given to the community and encourage your
continues collaboration on this matter. In the end if everyone works together the outcome is a
safer communily for our families.
Respectfully yours,
Wil iam I. Martin, rector

In February 2012, The South Florida HIDTA requested that South Miami assist it by contracting for the
position of HIDTA Deputy Director. The current Deputy Director, Joel Widell, has been a contract
employee of the City of South Miami since May, 2012, with the current contract expiring at the end of
April, 2013. The South Florida HIDTA would like to renew the contract until next fiscal year, a five (5)
month period, May 1, 2013 through Sept. 30, 2013.
As in the past, the proposed contract would be HIDTA grant funded, with South Miami being the direct
recipient of the funding. The contract is to be between South Miami and the Deputy Director.
South Miami is an active and long -time participant in the SFLHIDTA Program.
There is a one million dollar liability insurance policy, paid for by HIDTA that covers the position of
Deputy Director.
Note that the position of Deputy Director is non -sworn and does not supervise or oversee law
enforcement operations.
The SFLHIDTA Executive Committee approved the concept of a contracted Deputy Director at the
September 20, 2011 Executive Committee meeting. The motion to approve this action was passed
unanimously.
The City receives a reasonable administrative fee, (2 %) and the contract is worded in such a
fashion that there would be no financial obligation to the City of South Miami should HIDTA
funding be cut.
Background:
The High Intensity DRUG Trafficking Area Program (HIDTA) is a program funded by the Office of
National Drug Control Policy ( ONDCP) commonly referred to as the "Drug Czar's Office. The current
Director of ONDCP is Gil Kerlikowske.
The purpose of the program is to reduce drug trafficking and production in the United States by:
• Facilitating cooperation among Federal, state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies to share
information and implement coordinated enforcement activities;
• Enhancing law enforcement intelligence sharing among Federal, state, local, and tribal law
enforcement agencies;
• Providing reliable law enforcement intelligence to law enforcement agencies to facilitate the
design of effective enforcement strategies and operations; and
• Supporting coordinated law enforcement strategies that make the most of available resources to
reduce the supply of illegal drugs in designated areas of the United States and in the Nation as a
whole.
Total funding for the HIDTA program nationwide is $230 million dollars. The funding for the South
Florida HIDTA for FY 2013 is $13.4 million dollars, and has been at that approximate level since 2000.

Areas
are designated
by Congress as having narcotics
trafficking activity which
has either a
regional
and /or
national scope.
The South Florida HIDTA is one
of the five original HIDTA's
designated
in 1989.
The South Florida HIDTA (SFLHIDTA) is one of 28 different HIDTA areas around the country. The
South Florida HIDTA consists of Palm Beach, Broward, Miami -Dade, and Monroe Counties.
The SFLHIDTA has a Director who reports to an Executive Committee comprised of eighteen
representatives from SFLHIDTA- participating agencies. Nine of the representatives are from local and
state agencies, nine are from federal agencies.
The South Florida HIDTA
has
approximately
800 participants, which include sworn and non -sworn
personnel from federal, state,
and
local agencies
assigned to various HIDTA task forces.
Addressing the ONDCP priorities requires that each HIDTA have an infrastructure in which to support
and house the law enforcement initiatives. The SFLHIDTA has three (3) main facilities, located in
Plantation, Miramar, and Dora]. HIDTA also has approximately fifty (50) employees hired using grant
funds. These employees include analysts, translators, and administrative personnel.
HIDTA is a grant program, so all contracting, facility leasing, procurement, and employee hiring is
facilitated by fiduciary agencies with legal authority. These agencies receive HIDTA grants from
ONDCP and facilitate the services in a cooperative agreement with the SFLHIDTA.
The majority of the funding for HIDTA is done via direct grants to the Monroe Sheriff's Office, which
maintains the leases on the facilities and acts as employer for the HIDTA- funded personnel. The Monroe
Sheriff's Office has been acting in this capacity since 1995. Several other local agencies act as fiduciaries
or contract mechanisms for the SFLHIDTA.
The SFLHIDTA Director is a HIDTA- funded contract employee for the Monroe Sheriff's Office. Monroe
County also contracts with other individuals on behalf of HIDTA. As a participant in the Florida
Retirement System (FRS) they are prohibited from contracting with any individual within 12 months of
retiring under the FRS system, (this restriction applies to the Deputy Director Joel Widell).
All contracts have clauses which stipulate termination of said contract should HIDTA funding not be
available. This protects the fiduciary agencies from incurring any financial liability should HIDTA
funding disappear.
ONDCP has a sophisticated disbursement and tracking system so agencies receive funding in a timely
manner.
Oversight of the program is rigorous. The SFLHIDTA is audited by ONDCP and by the respective
fiduciary agencies on an annual basis, and has passed every audit in exemplary fashion. There are
numerous checks and balances built into the system to minimize the possibility of waste and fraud, and to
promote a transparency in the oversight of the administration f the SFLHIDTA.
South Florida HIDTA was recognized by the White House Office of National drug Control Policy as the
"HIDTA of the Year" in 2011 based on its exemplary performance.
