The Golden Nile Safe Neighborhood District Board of Directors in Hallandale Beach voted Jan. 8 to authorize use of a Miami‑Dade contract with Alliance LLC for security guard services, approving spending not to exceed $267,846 and providing for an effective date.

Board members moved and seconded the resolution after staff presented backup materials; a roll call was taken. Chair Cooper, Director Butler and Dr. Adams recorded affirmative votes during the roll call; Director Lima Topp was absent. The motion was approved.

The board also discussed a recent crash at the district guardhouse during the same meeting. Deputy Chief (name not specified) described the incident: "the individuals leaving the area, they, almost hit a city vehicle, struck another vehicle, and then, drove up in took out our gate arm and drove into the back of the guard house, as you saw, and was sitting precariously perched on the back. Nobody was injured, thank god, but the individual, did claim that he'd fallen asleep while driving," and said sobriety tests and on‑scene observations did not indicate impairment.

Meeting minutes and the resolution backup materials were available to directors at the meeting; the transcript does not specify further contract terms such as length of service, hourly rates, or the Miami‑Dade contract number beyond the references made during the meeting. The board did not state additional follow‑up steps during the session.

Director Lima Topp was recorded absent at roll call; the vice chair's recorded vote was not clearly captured in the meeting audio transcript provided. The board adjourned after the vote.
