Managers Report
The red light camera trial was last week, and according to Mr. Pepe,
it went well. If you remember, ATS was. the red light camera
company that most of the Cites contracted with. Based on my
experience at Cutler Bay with this program, I elected to use Red Flex
as the red light camera provider for South MiamL based on their
different technology and processing. The Judge said that based on
the testimony of the witnesses, the South Miami program was the
best of all the 15 to 20 programs that have been presented to him,
and that the City of South Miami's red light camera program was a
credit to the City. We will immediately begin negotiations on
amendments to the contract to include specific reference to the
Business Rules and the Procedure Manual, which was an
improvement suggested by Mr. Pepe subsequent to the trial.
Metro South has funded their requirement to the City for the $250,000
dedicated to parks. They are very near being able to earn their
Certificate of Completeness and will begin work on the crosswalk,
which is required by the settlement that we negotiated soon.
The SMCRA budget will be on the agenda of the Government
Operations Committee of the County on May 9 at 2 pm. Dennis
Moss is Chairman and Commissioner Suarez is on the Committee. If
the item is heard at this meeting this will result in a hearing at the full
BCC in June. Therefore, I suggest that at our next meeting we have
an item to extend the funding authority of the City to cover the
salaries and other critical expenses previously authorized to ensure
that we do not create a lapse in these necessary expenses.

MEMORANDUM
The item for approval of our Interlocal Agreement with the County
for the community circulator PASSED at the BCC today.
I met with Reverend Campbell and Pastor Jones and parishioners
regarding the Family Dollar project and their efforts to provide
additional parking areas to facilitate the project and its
attractiveness as an important addition to affordable housing in the
community. They have been empowe~ed by the Church leadership
to enter into a lease agreement with the City or CRA towards this
purpose. They are reviewing a draft lease for the property which
when finally negotiated will be submitted to the CRA for approval.
