The code of Miami-Dade County permits the officials and inspectors of municipalities to participate in the enforcement of certain violations of the County Code pertaining to for-hire vehicles.

The City of Miami Beach Police Department (“MBPD”) is responsible for ensuring the public safety of its residents and visitors and is further required to provide innovative ways to remain ahead of traffic enforcement and regulations pertaining to the for-hire vehicles operating in the City Of Miami Beach.

The City of Miami Beach and Miami-Dade County over the past ten years have jointly participated in the enforcement of certain for-hire transportation regulations through the signing of an Interlocal Agreement.  The current Interlocal Agreement is expiring, and a new Interlocal Agreement (which will be for an initial term of on-year, with a provision for renewal for two additional one-year terms) must be executed to continue this joint initiative between the City Of Miami Beach and Miami-Dade County.

The MBPD therefore requests the Mayor and the City Commission to authorize the City Manager and City Clerk to execute this agreement between the City of Miami Beach and Miami-Dade County for Miami Beach Police Department officers to enforce certain provisions of the Miami-Dade County Code, specifically regarding vehicles for hire.
