CITY OF AVENTURA OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER MEMORANDUM TO: City Commission FROM: Ronald J. Wasson, City Manage DATE: January 31, 2020 SUBJECT: Law Enforcement Mutual Aid Agreement Between the City and the City of Plantation February 4, 2020 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item S_ RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution authorizing execution of the Law Enforcement Mutual Aid Agreement with the City of Plantation. BACKGROUND In order to improve cooperative relationships between law enforcement agencies and provide a mechanism to share police resources in the event of emergencies or certain demanding situations, Chapter 23, Florida Statutes, Florida Mutual Aid Act allows agencies to enter into Police Services Mutual Aid Agreements. The various departments use a basic Mutual Aid Agreement. Aventura Hospital & Medical Center and Westside Regional Hospital in Plantation are sister hospitals that occasionally find it necessary to transport patients from one hospital to the other. At times, these patients also happen to be under arrest. When such a prisoner/patient requires transport to the sister hospital, the arresting agency generally ceases to have law enforcement authority to guard the prisoner and take law enforcement action once the officer and prisoner leave the arresting jurisdiction. As a result, the police department covering the jurisdiction of the receiving hospital is forced to spend labor and fiscal resources to assume liability of and guard the prisoner/patient for the duration of his/her stay in that hospital. In accordance with the Florida Mutual Aid Statute and in resolution of this issue, the City of Aventura and the City of Plantation police departments have crafted a mutual aid agreement that temporarily gives the arresting law enforcement agency limited law enforcement authority while guarding its prisoner/patients who have been transferred to the sister hospital in the other party's jurisdiction. The Agreement is beneficial in our mission to protect the safety and quality of life of our residents. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. RJW/act Attachment CCOI 860-20 CITY OF AVENTURA POLICE DEPARTMENT INTER OFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: Ronald J. Wasson, City Manager FROM: Bryan Pegues, Chief of Police DATE: January 17, 2020 SUBJECT: Mutual Aid Agreement between Plantation PD and Aventura PD I am requesting that the attached mutual aid agreement between the Plantation Police Department and the Aventura Police Department be placed on the February Commission agenda for approval. The agreement grants jurisdictional powers, within Aventura, to police officers from the Plantation Police Department when they transport their prisoners for treatment to Aventura Hospital from Plantation General Hospital. The agreement is beneficial to the APD since it will alleviate us from providing our manpower resources to monitor prisoners who require extended treatment.

Section 4. A grievance not advanced to the higher step within the time limits provided shall be deemed permanently withdrawn as having been settled on the basis of the decision most recently given. Failure on the part of the City to answer within the time limits set forth in any step will entitle the employee to proceed to the next step. The time periods contained herein may be mutually waived or extended due to unforseen circumstances. Section 5. Where a grievance is general in nature in that it applies to a number of employees having the same issue to be decided, it shall be presented directly to the Chief of Police or his/her designee at Step 3 of the grievance procedure, within the time limit provided for the submission of the grievance in Step 1 , and signed by the aggrieved employees or the PBA representative on their behalf. Section 6.

Section 14. Nothing in this Article shall prohibit an employee from voluntarily self-identifying as having a drug/alcohol abuse problem to either his/her immediate supervisor, Department Head, or the Personnel Officer, but may not do so just prior to being selected for a drug and/or alcohol test. Such employee must meet the following conditions to remain employed by the Department: 1) Completion of Employee Assistance Program or Substance Abuse Program approved by the City; 2) During the period the employee is out of after self identifying himself/herself will be placed in a "no pay" status or they may utilize their accrued vacation leave; and 3) The employee who self identifies himself/herself must sign a Last 58 Chance Agreement that will specify immediate discharge on any drug and alcohol confirmed positive test, and if he/she subsequently self identifies as having a drug and alcohol abuse problem. Requests from employees for assistance in this regard shall remain confidential to the extent permitted by law and shall not be revealed to other employees or members of management without the employee's consent. Employees enrolled in drug/alcohol abuse programs as outpatients, shall be subject to all City rules, regulations and job performance standards. The Department will not discharge, discipline, or discriminate against an employee solely upon the employee's voluntarily seeking treatment for a drug and/or alcohol related problem, if this is the first time that an employee has entered an employee assistance program for drug/alcohol related problems. Drug and alcohol abuse are serious personal concerns for many individuals. The City provides employees in such circumstances with the services of an Employee Assistance Program which may be called to obtain free, confidential, professional referral assistance.
