[Sponsored by Mayor Horace Feliu]. BACKGROUND AND ANALYSIS: The Mayor and City Commission of the City of South Miami are concerned with the growing number of homeless people in South Miami and Miami -Dade County. These economic hard times have caused men, women and children, entire families to become homeless due to the decreasing job market and the foreclosure crisis. Homelessness is a phenomenon that is affecting our community and the Mayor sponsors this revision to the City's Code in order to take a proactive approach to the situation to assist the entire community of South Miami. Based upon the foregoing, the City's Community Relations Board duties should be expanded to include outreach towards the homeless community to assist the homeless, and the Community at Large in dealing with this social issue. It is the desire to amend the duties of the Community Relations Board so that the needs and concerns of the homeless are addresses; and to ensure increased sensitivity towards the homeless by the South Miami Police Department, and Community at Large. Section 2 -26.6, relating to the creation of the Community Relations Board, under subsection (a), would provide that membership could also consist of at least one member of the general public with personal experience with homeless issues. Subsection (b) is proposed to be amended to provide the Re: Community Relations Board Ordinance Revisions Page 2 following: "Representatives from the police department as ex officio members of the board." The duties of the Board, found at subsection (c) are proposed for amendment as indicated below: (c) Duties. The duties of the board shall be as follows: (8) To recommend the City Commission such ordinances as will aid in carrying out the purposes of this section including increasing understanding, sensitivity, and training of the City's Departments including the Police Department towards the homeless.
