| | SUBJECT: | A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, ON BEHALF OF THE MIAMI BEACH POLICE DEPARTMENT, TO ACCEPT A DONATION OF A KAWASAKI TERYX 4X4 OFF-ROAD VEHICLE FROM MANGO’S TROPICAL CAFE, 900 OCEAN DRIVE, MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, WITH AN APPROXIMATE VALUE OF $10,000. |

| | | | | | | | RECOMMENDATION
| | Adopt the Resolution. |
| | | |
| | | | | | | | ANALYSIS
| The City of Miami Beach has beautiful public parks and beaches that attract millions of visitors each year to the City. The Miami Beach Police Department (MBPD) therefore requires the capability for officers to undertake general patrol and to respond to emergencies both on the beaches and in the parks. Regular police vehicles do not provide this capability. The City has previously purchased a number of off-road vehicles to address this gap. The vehicles have proved to be highly successful in providing suitable transportation for officers.
Mango’s Tropical Cafe, located at 900 Ocean Drive, Miami Beach, has graciously offered to donate a Kawasaki Teryx 4x4 off-road vehicle, valued at approximately $10,000, to the MBPD. The vehicle would further enhance the MBPD’s capability to undertake general patrol and to respond to emergencies. The title will be vested unconditionally in the City. |
