OFFICE MEMORANDUM
To: Honorable Mayor and City Commission
Date: July 26, 2011
From: Hector Mirabile, Ph.D., City Manager
Re: Manager's Report
Today the Commission will be reviewing and hopefully approving, after appropriate discussion, a
resolution on the proposed millage rate of 4.6662 mills, which is also the rolled -back rate. Additionally,
staff published the City's draft 2011 -2012 budget proposal which we are diligently conducting further
analysis to identify the City's best position for current and future years considering the current and
future projected financial aspects of the City. Staff will be considering expanding current income
sources and exploring new sources as well as analyzing our current levels of overhead costs for services
and make great efforts in reducing them while maintaining equal or better service levels. This is a
tedious and calculated process and we appreciate the Commission's and the Budget and Finance
Committee's patience on these matters. On August 10, 2011, at 9:00 am the City is scheduled to
conduct a budget workshop where many of the questions related to how each department arrived at the
proposed budget will be addressed, as well as receiving recommendations from the Budget and Finance
Committee. Should the Commission determine tonight that the scheduled time requires change please
ensure that a minimum of 4 hours are allotted to ensure that all aspects of the budget are discussed to the
Commission's satisfaction. Lastly, I would like to emphasize that staff is committed to providing our
citizens with the best possible levels of service at the lowest alternative cost through technology and
reducing our overhead costs exposure.
I. Accomplishment.
a. New IT IDC successes:
AS -400 financial system went down 5 times. This is due to backups hanging the
system and requires intervention to bring system backup. We are currently working
with support resolution.'

software. Some of these issues required re- install of the operating system and all
