718.1This section sets forth the procedures for receiving reimbursement from ABRA under the subsidy program for monies paid to the Metropolitan Police Department ("MPD") by licensees for the hiring of MPD officers to work a reimbursable detail. A licensee, a group of licensees, or a Business Improvement District on behalf of licensees ("licensees"), may enter into an agreement with MPD to provide for reimbursable detail and are eligible for reimbursement under the subsidy program. This section shall apply only to the extent that:

 

(a)The Council funds the subsidy program; and

 

(b)ABRA has sufficient funds earmarked for this program remaining to reimburse MPD for costs incurred by licensees for MPD officers working reimbursable details.

 

718.2   ABRA will reimburse MPD seventy percent (70%) of the total cost of invoices submitted by MPD to cover the costs incurred by licensees for MPD officers working reimbursable details on Sunday through Saturday nights.

The hours eligible for an outdoor Special Event operating under a One Day Substantial Change License or a Temporary License shall be twenty-four (24) hours a day.

 

718.3MPD shall submit to ABRA on a monthly basis invoices documenting the seventy percent (70%) amount owed by each licensee. Invoices will be paid by ABRA to MPD within thirty (30) days of receipt in the order that they are received until the subsidy program’s funds are depleted.
