Re: Community Relations Board
Ordinance Revisions
AN ORDINANCE OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF SOUTH MIAMI, FLORIDA, RELATING TO THE CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI'S
COMMUNITY RELATIONS BOARD (CRB); AMENDING THE DUTIES OF THE
CRB TO INCLUDE WORKING WITH THE HOMELESS IN OUR COMMUNITY,
TO SEEK PROFESSIONAL AND ECONOMIC HELP FOR THE HOMELESS,
AND PROVIDE SENSITIVITY TRAINING TO LAW ENFORCEMENT AND
THE COMMUNITY AT LARGE TO THE NEEDS OF THE HOMELESS;
PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY, ORDINANCES IN CONFLICT, AND AN
EFFECTIVE DATE. [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
