About the Program

Category: Financial Management (Best in Category)

Year: 2023

The Miami-Dade County Parks, Recreation, and Open Spaces Department, Special Assessment Districts Division (SADD) launched the Sparkle Tours at Security Guard Special Taxing Districts in February 2023. The purpose of this program is to ensure quality control through a formal process of regular facility maintenance inspections and evaluations. The data gathered is used to provide Security Guard Special Taxing District management staff evaluations and planning tools by using maintenance standards. SADD has so far inspected 11 guardhouses since implementing our program. We have found minor maintenance issues that need to be addressed at our guardhouses that probably would not have been identified if an on-site inspection had not taken place. Only one guardhouse received a low score after inspection.
