SUBJECT: Resolution Authorizing A Memorandum of Understanding For The Drivers License And/Or Motor Vehicle Record Data Exchange Between Miami-Dade County and the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles

..Recommendation
It is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners approve the attached Memorandum of Understanding between the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, and Miami-Dade County, on behalf of the Miami-Dade Police Department, authorizing a data exchange from the Driver and Vehicle Information Database. This data exchange is for law enforcement purposes only and provides the Miami-Dade Police Department with vital information on drivers, and vehicle or vessel information. The Memorandum of Understanding is effective upon execution and lasts for a period of three years. There are no costs associated with this data exchange.

Scope
The Memorandum of Understanding will provide a data exchange to the Miami-Dade Police Department for law enforcement purposes.

Fiscal Impact/Funding Source
The Memorandum of Understanding is at no cost.

Track Record/Monitor
The Miami-Dade Police Department will monitor this Agreement.

BODY
The purpose of the Memorandum of Understanding is to grant access to the Miami-Dade Police Department to the Driver and Vehicle Information Database of the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. This database provides vital information used by personnel of the Miami-Dade Police Department on a daily basis. This information includes driver license history, signature, photograph, and any other information related to a tag for vehicles or vessels (boats). Access requires compliance by the Miami-Dade Police Department with statutes as well as policies and procedures governing this information. While the Miami-Dade Police Department has had access to this system previously, due to the inclusion of an indemnification clause in the new Memorandum of Understanding, approval by the County Mayor, and authorization by the Board of County Commissioners, is necessary.
