Re: End -of- Session Report
Attached is a summary of both fiscal and policy items that we believe are most impactful
on the City of South Miami. This constitutes our End -of- Session legislative report and,
as always, I look forward to presenting it in fuller detail during my presentation to you.
My associates and I are grateful for your entrusting us to represent South Miami and we
particularly want to thank the Mayor and Commissioners who, along with the City
Manager, joined us in Tallahassee this year. Many of the successes we all achieved
would not have been possible if not for their forceful advocacy and the support of the full
body and City staff.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or desire additional
information.
FISCAL.
POSITIVE OUTCOMES:
s PENSION REFORM
CS /CS /SB1128, reforming local government pension plans, was signed by the Governor on
June 230. Passed by the legislature on May 4"', following four months of debate, 30
amendments to the original bill text, and three committee substitutes, the legislation was one
of the most contentious and heavily lobbied issues this past legislative session. It pitted
representatives of local governments who sought to extract the state from the municipal
collective bargaining process against organized labor (particularly police and fire unions) who
attempted to defeat the bill or preserve the enhanced benefits mandated by the Legislature
since 1999. Interestingly, the discussion in the Senate was not dictated by political party
affiliation but rather individual views about local governments as profligate spenders or
whether first responders were abusing the system. Different bipartisan coalitions emerged to
either approve or defeat items.
It is widely understood that pension reform will be back on the legislative agenda next year.
Not only does CS /CS /SB1128 require that a report and recommendations regarding disability
presumptions be submitted to the Legislature by January 1, 2012, but immediately after the
conclusion of the Session a group called "Floridians for Sustainable Pensions," a coalition of
business groups and think tanks allied with Governor Rick Scott, called for offering only
401(k)- style define- contribution plans to both new Florida Retirement System and local
government employees.
Following are the reforms for local pensions, including police and fire, included in
CS /SC /SB 1128:
POLICE AND FIRE)
For plans that are subject to collective bargaining, effective for the first
agreement reached on or after July 1, 2011, for service earned on or
after that date, up to 300 hours of overtime compensation may be
included for pension purposes as specified in the collective bargaining
agreement or plan, but payments for accrued unused sick or annual
leave may not be included. For plans that are not subject to collective
bargaining, for service earned on or after July 1, 2011, up to 300 hours of
overtime compensation may be included for pension purposes as
specified in the plan, but payments for accrued unused sick or annual
leave may not be included.
THE BILL CREATES A TASK FORCE ON PUBLIC EMPLOYEE DISABILITY
PRESUMPTIONS
The Task Force will be made up of management and union and /or
employee representatives appointed by the President of the Senate and
the Speaker of the House of Representatives as well the Chief Financial
Officer and officials of the Department of Management Services. A
report and recommendations must be submitted to the Legislature by
January 1, 2012.
THE BILL ELIMINATES THE REQUIREMENT IN. CHAPTERS 175 AND 185 THAT
PENSION BENEFITS BE INCREASED WHENEVER MEMBER CONTRIBUTIONS ARE
INCREASED
This addresses an interpretation by the Division of Retirement that plan
benefits have to increase an amount corresponding to any increase in
member contributions.
THE BILL REQUIRES THAT ALL ACTUARIAL REPORTS DISCLOSE THE PRESENT
VALUE OF A DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN'S ACCURED NONVESTED AND TOTAL
(CURRENTLY 7.75%), TO "PROMOTE THE COMPARABILITY OF ACTUARIAL DATA
BETWEEN LOCAL PLANS.'
The Department of Management Services (DMS) is directed to develop a
standardized rating system for local government defined benefit pension
plans.
THE BILL DIRECTS THE DEPARTMENT OF MANAGEMENT SERVICES (DMS) TO
PROVIDE A FACT SHEET ON EACH LOCAL GOVERNMENT DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN
SUMMARIZING THE PLANS ACTURARIAL STATUS
The Fact Sheet must contain a summary of the plan's most recent
actuarial data, minimum funding requirements as a percentage of pay,
and a five -year history of funded ratios. The Fact Sheet must be posted
on the website of the Department of Management Services and plan
sponsors must link their websites to that of DMS.
THE BILL PROHIBITS THE USE OF ACTUARIAL OR CASH SURPLUS FOR ANY
EXPENSES OUTSIDE. THE PLAN.
e VALUE ADJUSTMENT BOARD
HB 281 provides that a petitioner before a value adjustment board (VAB) challenging an
assessment of property must make a partial payment of at least 75% of ad valorem
taxes before those taxes become delinquent, less any applicable discount. Additionally,
a petitioner before a VAB challenging the denial of a classification or an exemption must
make a payment of the amount of tax which the taxpayer admits in good faith to owe
before such taxes become delinquent, less any applicable discount. If the good faith .
payment made is grossly disproportionate to the amount found to, be due by the VAB, a
10% per year penalty applies.
The bill also provides that if the VAB determines that the petitioner owes ad valorem
taxes in excess of the amounts paid, the unpaid amount accrues interest at the rate of
12% per year from April 1. If the VAB determines that the petitioner is owed a refund, the
amount paid in excess of the amount due accrues interest at the rate of 12% per year
from April 1.
Finally, the bill eliminates current language which provides for a four percent discount
that applies for 30 days after the mailing of a tax notice resulting from the action of a
value adjustment board when the tax notice is issued after the taxes become delinquent.
If the payments required under the bill are not made, the VAB must deny the petition in
writing by April 20.
Currently, property owners who object to an assessment may request an informal
conference with the county property appraiser, file a petition with the Value Adjustment
Board (VAB), and subsequently file an action in Circuit Court to contest the assessment.
Property owners can pay property taxes in advance of a VAB hearing or may wait until
the hearing process is complete. In Miami -Dade County, as well as in some of the
state's other large counties, the VAB process can take as long as 18 months to two
years. As such, more counties have been unable to certify their tax rolls by April 15
when property taxes are due. This causes problems for local governments and school
boards that cannot finalize revenues as well as create cash -flow issues.
b REVENUE AND EXPLNDITURE CAPS (TABOR)
The legislature did not approve any legislation that would have imposed TABOR -like
restrictions on local governments. At the beginning of the session Senate President
Mike Haridopolos made it clear that he wanted to replace the existing revenue limitation
in the state constitution with a new standard based on inflation and population but that it
would only affect state government. The House was reluctant to exclude local
governments, but ultimately Senator Haridopolos prevailed and SJR958 will be on the
ballot during the 2012 general election and must be approved by 60% of the voters.
• MUNICIPAL TRANSPORTATION SURTAX
South Miami currently receives $333,868 as its share of the People's Transportation
Plan (PTP). Because of the incorporation of. Cutler Bay, Miami Gardens, and Doral,
Miami -Dade County sought to reduce the amount provided to existing cities. That would
have reduced the City's share to $267,095. A legal opinion rendered in 2002 by then
County Attorney Robert Ginsburg stated that if any new cities were created the funding
for them would originate from the unincorporated budget that receives 80% of PTP
dollars. Notwithstanding that opinion, former County Manager George Burgess
advocated that the funding come from the existing cities share.
Because of this, South Miami supported amendments to F.S. 212.055 to clarify that
when a charter county revises interlocal agreements to include new municipalities, that
the new municipalities are to be funded their pro rata share from the portion of the surtax
allowed for use in the unincorporated area of the county, or for countywide services, and
further clarifying that funding newly incorporated municipalities from the portion of the
surtax dedicated to existing municipalities is expressly prohibited. This language was
included in both CS /CS /CS /HB1363 and SB1180, the respective Department of
Transportation legislative "packages," but neither bill passed. During the last week of
legislative session, the Board of County Commissioners approved funding the three new
cities from Miami - Dade's 80% share of the PTP, but only for one year until the existing
interlocal agreements with all the cities expires in 2012. If no permanent agreement with
the County is reached, this item will again be addressed legislatively.
INTERACTIVE TRAVEL SERVICES
Senator Don Gaetz, who is slated to be Senate President in 2012 -2014, and
Representative Jason Broduer, filed legislation to provide that state transient rentals
taxes, local tourist impact taxes, local tourist development taxes, local convention
development taxes, and municipal resort taxes are imposed on the amount received by
an entity operating transient rental accommodations — not on the payments received by
unrelated firms facilitating the booking of'reservations of such accommodations. The
measures were SIB 376 and HB493. The State Revenue Estimating Conference
estimated that passage of this legislation would have a statewide negative fiscal impact
of $28.7 Million during the 2011 -12 Fiscal Year on local governments.
Currently, more than 50 of Florida's 67 counties have joined a suit against web travel
companies such as Expedia, Orbitz, and Priceline alleging that they collect taxes on the
entire amount they charge to a consumer but only remit taxes on the wholesale price
they pay a lodging establishment for the room. Senator Gaetz and Representative
Broduer spearheaded a legislative effort to settle the legal issues in favor of the online
travel companies. They were unsuccessful.
After much iteration, including killing the bill in the Finance and Tax Committee of the
House of Representatives, HB493 passed the House but it was defeated in the Senate.
All during the legislative session we worked in concert with the Association of Counties,
the Florida League of Cities, and other stakeholders to assure this outcome.
• LINE ITEM SUPPORT FOR WATER PROJECTS
Because of the state fiscal exigencies, legislative leadership did not allow Community Issue
Budget Requests (CBIR) to be filed. This is the vehicle to fund local projects through line -
item support and, as such, there were no opportunities to fund line item water related
projects. In fact, ,there were only two specific water projects in the budget; both in the
legisiative-districts of Senate Appropriations Chairman J. D. Alexander and House Budget
Chairwoman Denise Grimsley, and the Governor vetoed them. These were for the City of
Ftostproof and the City of Winter Haven. Notwithstanding, the legislature did allocate low -
interest loan funding for wastewater, stormwater, and potable water projects through the
Department of Environmental Protection.
The Clean Water State Revolving Fund program provides low- interest loans for
planning, designing, and constructing wastewater and stormwater projects. Funds are
made available for Preconstruction Loans and Construction Loans. The Loan Terms
include a 20 -year amortization and low- interest rates. Preconstruction loans are
available to all communities and provide up -front disbursements for administrative
services, project planning and project design. There is $170,346,724 available for this
purpose.
The Drinking Water State Revolving Fund Program provides low- interest loans for
planning, designing, and constructing public water facilities. Funds are made available
for Pre - construction Loans, Construction Loans of $75,000 minimum or more, and Pre -
construction Grants and Construction Grants to small financially disadvantaged
communities. The Loan Terms include a 20 -year (30 -year for financially disadvantaged
communities) amortization and low- interest rates. There is $91,053,594 available for this
purpose.
s RED LIGHT CAMERAS
Although South Miami has not authorized the use of Red -light cameras, we closely
followed the effort of Representative Richard Corcoran, slated to be House Speaker
during the 2016 -18 term, to repeal the law passed during the 2010 legislative session
that authorized the use of traffic infraction detectors. Representative Corcoran filed
HB4087 and that bill passed the House but died in the Senate. Realizing that there was
little appetite in the Senate for his initiative, Representative Corcoran then amended
SB1150, a transportation bill sponsored by Senate Transportation Chairman Jack
Latvala, to require local governments to fund a study and gain Florida Department of
Transportation approval prior to a camera being installed. Senator Latvala refused to
accept said amendment and the bill died. Representative Corcoran has pledged to
continue the effort next legislative session.
The issue of Red -light cameras is contentious and most probably a compromise solution
will be reached. The most likely outcome is that those jurisdictions that have approved
and /or installed traffic infraction detectors will be grandfathered.
Negative Outcomes:
FLORIDA FOREVER AND FLORIDA RECREATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
ASSISTANCE PROGRAM ( FRDAP)
Over the past ten years, the Florida Forever program has purchased over 2.4 million
acres for state and local parks, open spaces, and wildlife habitats with a combination of
local funds- and -an- annual appropriation from Tallahassee. Because of the current fiscal
shortfall, the legislature did not appropriate any dollars this year but authorized Florida
Forever to spend up to $305 million to be potentially generated from the sale of surplus
state lands and office buildings. The Governor vetoed said authorization. This comes
after Florida Forever received $15 million last year, a significant drop from the $300
million annual appropriation received every year prior to 2008.
FRDAP is a competitive grant program that provides financial assistance to local
governments for development or acquisition of land for public outdoor recreational
purposes. Although the City of South Miami has benefited from this program in the past,
we understand there were no city parks on the FRDAP 2011 -12 priority list. The
Department of Environmental Protection had requested over $27,000,000 to meet
current obligations but this request was not funded.
o PROPERTY ASSESSMENT
Representative Chris Dorworth, slated to be House Speaker during the 2014 -16 term,
sponsored CS /CS /CSICS /CS /HJR381, an amendment to the state constitution that
reduces the current assessment limitation on non - homestead real property from 10% to
5 %. That cap would sunset in 2023. The constitutional amendment would also allow
the Legislature by general law to prohibit increases in the assessed value of homestead
properties if the just value of the property decreases and provide buyers who have not
owned a home in Florida within the last three years an additional exemption. The
discount would equal 50% of the home's assessed value and would end after five years.
This amendment will be on the ballot during the 2012 general election and must be
approved by 60% of the voters.
Approval of this legislation sparked a debate over the underlying premise of providing
some property owners with tax protections that are unavailable to others. Passed in the
early 1990s, the Save our Homes imitative has led to wide disparities in the property
taxes paid on similarly situated properties depending on when the property was
purchased. Supporters of this bill said it would provide relief to commercial property
owners, new homebuyers, and renters and thus spur economic growth. Critics stated
the proposal would further reduce the tax base of cities and counties already hamstrung
by declining property values and sluggish growth.
POLICY
POSITIVE OUTCOMES:
• CHARTER SCHOOLS
Amendatory language pre - empting local governments from establishing zoning
regulations on charter schools was filed by the House of Representatives to HB7195.
The Senate refused to accept it. When the companion bill was sent to the House,
CS /CS /CS /SB1546, the Senate sponsor accepted similar language; but one that stated
that "a local governing authority shall not adopt or impose any local building
requirements or site - development restrictions, such as parking and site -size criteria, that
are addressed by and more stringent than those found in the State Requirements for
Educational Facilities of the Florida Building Code. Beginning July 1, 2011, a local
governing authority must treat charter schools equitably in comparison to similar
requirements, restrictions, and processes imposed upon public schools that are not
charter schools." (emphasis supplied) The key to this is the regulatory and public
processes followed by Miami -Dade County Public Schools in locating and /or expanding
a public school and the coordination with local jurisdictions where the school is to be
sited. It can be reasonably argued that charter schools would now have to comply with
those procedures.
Locating and /or expanding a public school in a municipality is governed by two relevant
Florida Statutes (013.33 and 1013.35, F. S.) These require that the school board enter
into an interlocal agreement that meets certain minimum standards; including that the
two entities agree on how population growth and distribution will affect the city along with
student enrollment, the impact on local government development plans (traffic, land use,
and impact on surrounding neighborhoods), the timing of improvements to support
proposed expansion, local government participation in the preparation of the school
board's plan over the next 5, 10, and 20 years, public oversight, and a dispute resolution
process.
In addition to our lobbying efforts, and that of the League of Cities, the Chairman of the
Miami -Dade County Board of County Commissioners, Joe Martinez, 'sent out an e -mail
on April 29th to his lobbying team elevating opposition to the original House amendment
to priority status and detailing the issues the County has had with charter schools not
complying with their agreements regarding enrollment and traffic.
• GROWTH MANAGEMENT
This year's Growth Management reform (HB7207) was passed as a conforming bill to
the state budget and largely removes state government oversight from the
comprehensive planning process. According to Senator Mike Bennett, Chairman of the
Committee on Community Affairs, the goal of the legislation was to give local
governments "as much leeway as possible. We know local governments want to be in
control. They do not believe Tallahassee should be telling Biscayne Bay they can't build
a sidewalk in Biscayne Bay." The bill makes school and transportation concurrency
optional for cities and counties and substantially reduces the burdens on cities
associated with the preparation of evaluation and appraisal reports. The state's role is
now limited to comment on areas of state or critical concern. Finally, the Department of
Community Affairs is merged into a new entity called the Department of Economic
Opportunity and downsized from its current form.
6 PUBLIC OFFICERS SEVERANCE PAY
CS /CS /CS /SB88 restricts severance pay for any public officer, agent, employee or
contractor. The legislation allows up to 20 weeks of severance but that can be
exceeded by a two - thirds vote of the membership of a particular public body.
Employment contracts valid before July 15t of this year that have severance pay
provisions are grandfathered. A contract renewal or renegotiation after July 1st requires
compliance with the restrictions.
The legislation passed handily, but by a close 60 -55 vote on the last night of session, the
House of Representative adopted an amendment by Representative Eddy Gonzalez to
include the provision allowing severance pay beyond 20 weeks under the provisions
described above. The focus of much of the debate on that particular amendment was
the severance package awarded to former Miami -Dade County Manager George
Burgess.
VACATION RENTALS
Representative Mike Horner and Senator Greg Evers proposed legislation preempting
local governments from treating vacation rentals differently from other residential
properties based solely on their classification, use, or occupancy. Working in concerts
with the Florida League of Cities and the Association of Counties, the legislation was
amended to grandfather any local government with ordinances regulation vacation
rentals existing prior to July 1st of this year.
• OPEN HOUSE PARTIES
Currently, 856.015, F.S., states that a person in control of a residence who allows an
open house party to take place commits a second degree misdemeanor if they know a
minor has possession of or consumed any alcoholic beverage or drug at their residence
and the person fails to take responsible steps to prevent the possession or consumption
of the alcoholic beverage or drug by the minor. This legislation amends present law to
make a second or subsequent violation a first degree misdemeanor. Furthermore, the
bill also provides that any violation of s. 856.015, F.S., which results in serious bodily
injury or death, will be punishable by a first degree misdemeanor. A first degree
misdemeanor is punishable by up to 1 year in jail and /or a fine not to exceed $1,000.
i PROPERTYINSURANCE
Although SB408, a comprehensive property insurance bill was approved, that legislation
does not have the significant negative impact on South Miami that CS /SB1714 would
have had. As such, we focused our lobbying efforts on the latter bill which we believe
would have made a significant percentage of properties located in the City ineligible for
Citizens Property Insurance coverage. That, in turn, would have impacted the real
estate market and made a momentous dent on South Miami's economy.
Beginning in 2012, all structures with a replacement value of $1 million or more would be
ineligible for Citizens coverage; in 2014 the threshold would be reduced to $750,000 and
in 2016 that would be reduced further to $500,000. Up to January 1, 2015, Citizens
would have had to impose a minimum rate increase of 25% per year for every single
residential policy. Finally, beginning on February 1" of next year, Citizens would not
cover screened enclosures, in 2013 detached structures would be ineligible, and in 2014
the limitation would extend to certain items of personal property.
The Senate bill died in the Rules Committee, the last step prior to the. floor, and the
House bill died on the calendar for final consideration.
• PAIN MANAGEMENT CLINICS
The State of Florida has the dubious distinction of leading the nation in prescription drug
abuse. Called "Pill Mills," there are 838 clinics statewide and 183 in South Florida alone.
These numbers led to Senator Eleanor Sobel remarking that "we have more pill mills in
Florida than we have McDonald's."
The bill that passed (HB7095) had split Republican legislators for weeks as the
Governor and House of Representatives wanted to not fund the statewide prescription
drug database that is slated to become operational by the end of August of this year.
Ultimately, Attorney General Pam Bondi and Dr. Stephanie Haridopolos, the wife of the
Senate President, (who was instrumental in nudging her husband to broker a deal)
worked toward a successful compromise.
The legislation prescribes medical standards and operational restrictions for pain -
management clinics and requires more stringent permitting regulations for community
pharmacies to be conformed under the new standards by July 2012. Doctors will
automatically lose their licenses for 6 months and be fined $10,000 for overprescribing
violations, the prospection drug database continue to be funded but it changes the
reporting requirements from 15 days to 7 and requires criminal background checks of
those who have access to it, imposes a 5,000 -unit cap restriction on narcotics
prescriptions, includes a tracking of narcotics sold wholesale and a buy -back program
for doctors to return them to distributors, and provides $3 million to local law
enforcement agencies to put in force these new rules.
• BILLBOARDS
Section 27 of CS /CS /CS /HB1363, the comprehensive Department of Transportation
package, would have pre - empted local governments from establishing "sign permit fees"
for the installation of any sign, wall mural, or media tower in their jurisdiction. This was
in response to a dispute between the City of Miami and a particular billboard company
who was seeking additional sign placement consideration from Miami. The proposed
language, however, had statewide application. Said section would have relaxed the
billboard requirements and limited the cost of the sign permit fee to the "actual cost of
administering the local government sign ordinance." This language was included in the
House version of the transportation bill, reportedly placed there on orders of House
leadership, but the Senate refused to concur with this provision. This was one of the key
reasons the transportation bill failed this session.
s BERT HARRIS ACT
After 10 years to trying, legislation finally passed revising the Bert Harris Private
Property Rights Act. This was originally enacted in 1995. The Bert Harris Act
encompasses government actions that constitute an "inordinate burden" on a citizen's
property. An inordinate burden is defined as "an action of one or more governmental
entities that has directly restricted or limited use of real property such that the property
owner is permanently unable to attain the reasonable, investment- backed expectation
for the existing use of the real property."
We were part of a coalition of lobbying groups opposing the changes to the Bert Harris.
Although the bill passed, we were able nevertheless to secure a number of amendments
that reduced its impact. These included
A) Moratoria longer than 12 months are no longer considered "not temporary." They
will be examined on a case -by -case basis,
B) The proposed 120 -day settlement period was extended to 150 -days,
C) The length of time since passage of an ordinance can be considered in
determining whether there are truly reasonable investment - backed expectations
when the first application occurs many years afterwards
Negative Outcomes:
a SOBERHOAIES
Senator Ellyn Bogdanoff and Representative Luis Garcia filed legislation (SB1348 and
HB1055) establishing standards for the operations of SOBER Homes in Florida and not
allowing the clustering of these in residential neighborhoods. During the legislative
interim, we worked with the Department of Children and Families and helped establish a
stakeholders workgroup that surveyed what other states were doing and reached
consensus on the language of the legislation. The bills defined the term "sober
transitional living home" to mean a community residential home that provides a peer -
supported and managed alcohol -free and drug -free living environment. A sober
transitional living home must follow all local and county standards of occupancy and may
not provide onsite substance abuse treatment unless it is provided by a licensed service
provider. No SOBER Home could be located within 1,000 feet of another.
Senator Bogdanoff's bill was heard by the Children, Families, and Elder Affairs
Committee where it was approved unanimously. Unfortunately, Representative Garcia's
bill was never heard in committee, a victim of partisan politics. During the course of the
legislative session various Republican members of the House of Representatives joined
as co- sponsors of the legislation, including the Chairman of the Tea Party Caucus, but
due to other political considerations leadership refused to agenda the bill.
CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI
OFFICE MEMORANDUM
To: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
Date: July 19, 2011
From: Hector Mirabile, Pb.D., City Manager .
Re: Manager's Report
The City faces challenges regarding our financial position as we witness the current market conditions
around the world that impact our City's capacity in purchasing goods and services. Additionally, as the
City develops its FY 2012 budget staff is considering the mediating effects upon the budget of the
negotiation of two union contracts, coupled with the current and future impact of the South Miami
Garage loans, and the effects of the projected reduction of 1.7% of the property values along with new
calculated rolled -back millage rate. An additional factor impacting our FY2012 budget is the approval
or denial of the City's request to Miami -Dade County for the extension of various CDBG grants for the
Murray Park Pool. As of this writing we have no further information to report as to the status of our
requests.
Regarding the South Miami Garage refinancing to cover the defease of the specific bonds in question
there are potential impacts to current and subsequent years to the City which we must prepare for their
impacts in our determination of future millage rates. City staff along with our City Attorney, outside
council, and our financial consultant is diligently working to develop the best possible strategy for the
City's current and future position. As we proceed with the IRS and Mark Richman Property
negotiations we are met with additional opportunities requiring additional analysis but ultimately we are
confident that the loan to defease the bonds will come before you very soon.
At this time I would like to address the interesting situation with the rolled -back mileage rate. Cities are
required to calculate what is known as the "Rolled -back Millage Rate." This is the calculated tax rate at
which the City would receive the same ad valorem revenue as in the previous year, excluding current
year new taxable values (New Construction, additions, etc.). The 2011 adjusted taxable value increased
from the prior year final gross table value by 69,219,129 or 5.17 %; hence, the rolled -back millage rate
for the City of South Miami is 4.6662. This rolled -back rate represents a 6% decrease of our current
millage rate of 4.9526.
City Manager's Report to the Commission for July 19, 2011
The term "rolled- back" is used to describe the economic conditions of total taxable value in the prior
year and the amount of monies raised by ad- valorem taxes. It does not relate to the rate of change in the
millage.
If a City considers raising the millage rate above the rolled -back rate, it usually means that the cost of
government operations increased, or that new public service programs were added to the budget. The
effect of the millage rolled -back on a property owner's property taxes will appear on the "Truth In
Millage Notice" (TRIM) each year in Column 3.
The rolled -back rate is calculated by dividing the prior year's revenues by the current year tax base, with
certain adjustments, such as new construction. Even though the City continued to experience economic
downturn with assessed real property values decreasing by 3,892,394 or 0.29 %, personal property
assessed values decreasing by $4,960,564 or 6.9 %, and new construction decreasing by $29,936,932 or
82.72 %, the City's taxable value for operating purposes did not sustain the level of decrease which it
had sustained in the previous year, hence establishing a rolled -back rate of 4.6662, reducing the ad
valorem revenue by $365,961. Thus, unless the City is willing to approve a millage rate above the
rolled -back rate, the FY 2012 budget must be reduced accordingly in order to match recurring revenues
with recurring expenses. Staff is currently working to realign the proposed FY 2012 budget in attempts
to achieve the rolled -back rate without adversely impacting city services.
The City and AFSCME bargaining teams met twice. AFSCME presented their initial collective
bargaining agreement offer and we presented our counter offer. With the PBA lower body the city met
three times with them and we exchanged proposals and counter proposals. The City and the PBA are
scheduled to meet this Thursday in the morning.
I. Accomplishment.
a. New IT IDC successes:
i. AS -400 required another set of updates to facilitate the conversion to One Solution.
These were performed successfully. Some disk cleanup was also performed on the
AS -400 due to the drive getting full.'
ii. Parks and Recreation had a total of 3 new systems installed due to a lightning strike
that hit the building and destroyed the computers.
iii. The entire City phone system went down 3 times in 6 days. AT &T technicians (both
inside Techs and outside Techs) worked to bring the system back online. The
problem was hardware /cabling /connectivity related.
iv. Built new system for CVicente in Police Department and repaired two D620 laptops.
Also set up laptop for Intern.
v. Coordinated with FDLE rlex staff for install. This is the project that will allow for
sharing of information with FDLE. Attended meetings and completed forms
required for project.
City Manager's Report to the Commission for July 14, 2011
vi. Worked with vendor for OCR video systern. The OCR is a system for reading
license plates and comparing to a hit list. Currently the cameras are picking up the
license plates however the software used by the vendor is not communicating with
FDLE. We are working with the software vendor to resolve the issue.
vii. Upgraded the software and memory on the FDLE dispatch machine.
viii. Coordinated training schedule for Granicus
ix. Began conversion of videos for Granieus system and started to upload videos to the
archive on website. The conversion of these videos and upload times are lengthy.
These conversions are being done in batches and during slow times at.Helpdesk.
x. Created webpage for the Granicus system with link to archives for residents to be
able to view. This page is now live. By clicking on a link in the main page of the
City of South Miami's website, users are taken to the site where they can watch the
live feed or choose a video to watch from the archives.
xi. Created 2 new users on the network as well as creating profiles for their computers.
xii. Reset passwords for 3 users that had forgotten/lost their passwords to the network.
xiii. Public Works had some connectivity issues both internal network and connection to
the City's network. Internally the wiring for the network needs to be traced and in
some cases the cabling used for connectivity needs to be re- terminated. This will be
completed sometime in the month of July. Their connectivity issues to the City's
website are intermittent and have to do with the amount of bandwidth the City
currently has available.
xiv. A OneSolution update that was applied by SunGuard created issues that are currently
being addressed. The new update requires that users of the system have Office 2007
or higher. The update also changed the currently installed management console as
well as requiring additional updates be performed on end users machines. We
started the installation of Office 2007 on those machines that absolutely require it
due to budget constraints.
xv. 13 Police laptop issues were taken care of. These issues included:
1.
Laptops locking up
2.
Viruses
3.
Corruption in data
4.
Broken card cages
5.
Broken cases
6.
Broken keyboards
7.
Conflicting video drivers
City Manager's Report to the Commission for July 14, 2011

required 2/3 resident concurrence to proceed with the traffic calming devices that were approved by the
Miami -Dade County Public Works Department on December 31, 2008. A final site meeting is
scheduled for August 3`d of 2011 for the City Manger to meet with residents directly affected by the
proposed traffic devices. Should the residents not provide the 2/3 concurrence the project fails. Ifthe
residents desire a different array of traffic calming devices the process will commence from the
beginning. This would potentially delay the construction of any traffic calming devices until FY 2013.
Citywide Roadway Resurfacing Project: Due to a lack of response, the Request for Proposals was
reposted for public bidding. The mandatory pre -bid meeting is scheduled for July 22, 2011.
Citywide Sidewalk Repair Project: Bids were received and a vendor is selected based on the lowest,
responsive and responsible bid. A resolution was prepared and is presented to the Commission for
approval.
64 Development Road Resurfacing: Permit plans were submitted to Public Works on June 22, 2011
and comments were returned to the developer on July 6, 2011 requesting additional documentation to be
submitted by the end of the week.
