AGENDA ITEM WORDING: Approval of a Resolution adopting a policy against excessive force
for non-violent civil rights demonstrations and to enforce applicable State and local laws against
physically barring entrance to or exit from a facility or location which is the subject of such
nonviolent civil rights demonstration within its jurisdiction (none of which have been found), as
required for Community Development Block Grant(CDBG) funding Programs in Monroe County in
Compliance with state and federal requirements.
ITEM BACKGROUND:
In the aftermath of Hurricane Irma, Congress appropriated $616 Million for the State of Florida in
Community Development Block Grant-Disaster Recovery (CDBG-DR) funding and an additional
$633 Million in CDBG-Mitigation funds. The Department of Economic Opportunity (DEO)
developed State Action Plans for both of these programs to allocate grant funding for housing,
infrastructure, and economic redevelopment programs. Monroe County is a subrecipient of these
funds and continues to apply for various grants within these programs.
As per 42 United States Code (USC) § 5304(1)(1)(attached for reference), no funds authorized to be
appropriated under section 42 USC §5303-(Grants to States, units of general local government and
Indian tribes; authorizations) may be obligated or expended to any unit of general local government
that 1) fails to adopt and enforce a policy prohibiting the use of excessive force by law enforcement
agencies within its jurisdiction against any individuals engaged in nonviolent civil rights
demonstrations; or 2) fails to adopt and enforce a policy of enforcing applicable State and local laws
against physically barring entrance to or exit from a facility or location which is the subject of such
nonviolent civil rights demonstration within its jurisdiction.
In order to meet the CDBG-DR and CDBG-MIT subrecipient requirements, staff requests approval
of a resolution adopting a policy in accordance with the provisions of 42 USC § 5304(1)(1).
The County does not have authority to control the Sheriffs office operations and does not have a
legal duty to do so. There are also no applicable current State or local laws that prevent the entrance
to or exit from facilities and the County has no intent to pass any laws to that effect.
The resolution recognizes that the County does not have the power and authority over the operations
of the Sheriff.
