Body
Staff Recommends: Approval of the attached Resolution.
Explanation:
Several years ago the Broward County Sheriff’s Office (BSO) made the determination that the prisoner detention center located at the City of Hollywood Police Department would no longer be utilized by BSO due to budgetary cuts. Due to this decision, the City’s police officers were required to transport prisoners to the main jail in Fort Lauderdale, resulting in the City’s officers being outside of the City for a duration of time and leaving a time gap for patrolling the jurisdictional boundaries of the City. To address this situation, the City and BSO entered into a Memorandum of Understanding that provided for BSO to provide prisoner transport services to the City for an estimated annual cost of $118,040.00.
A new Memorandum of Understanding, titled “Memorandum of Understanding for Prisoner Transport” and including the Broward County Board of County Commissioners, the Cities of Pembroke Pines, Miramar and Hallandale Beach, as well as BSO and the City of Hollywood, has been proposed. Under the new MOU, the estimated annual cost to the City of Hollywood is $47,000.00. The Police Chief of the City of Hollywood, Florida recommends that the City Commission approve the execution of the attached MOU. Funding for these services has been appropriated in Account No. 01.2042.00297.521.003117.
