OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM
To: The Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Commission
From: Hector Mirabile, Ph.D., City Manage0'~
Date: September 27, 20 I I
2001
SUBJECT: 2nd Budget Hearing -Fiscal Year 2011-2012 Proposed Budget
BACKGROUND: The following is the list of major adjustments incorporated in the Proposed FY
2011-2012 Budget after the September 13, 20 II, budget workshop, considering
recommendations provided by the Mayor and Commission. Below is a detailed
breakdown as to the changes incorporated in the proposed budget by
department.
AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM & FEDERAL LOBBYIST
The Finance Department reviewed the revenue projections for the After School
Program and determined that the revenues anticipated from the increased fees
for non-residents and the CRA scholarship contributions would provide the
proper dollar amount to maintain revenues at the projected levels. Hence, the
need to eliminate the Federal Lobbyist based on the reduction of fees required to
continue to operate the After School program is unneeded. The City
maintained the originally proposed expenditure line item which includes the
Federal Lobbyist, for your reconsideration under the new set of facts.
CITY MANAGER & CODE ENFORCEMENT OFFICE
The salary for the Sr. Code Enforcement Officer is being paid for by the CRA:
After further review, the code enforcement budget did not reflect the reduction
of the Code Enforcement Officer salary. Thus, the General Fund -Code
Enforcement Office had an additional $91,397 in personnel costs. The savings
from this discrepancy is being allocated to comply with Commission requests
from the I" Budget Hearing for fuel efficient/Hybrid vehicles. The additional
funds were allocated to the Capital Improvement Fund for the purchase of three
new hybrid Ford Escape vehicles ($86,784) two for the Code Enforcement Office
and one to replace the Ford Expedition assigned to the City Manager. The
purchase is in line with the city's continued effort in the area of sustainable
initiatives. The additional $4,613 is for the stripping, decals and any additional
incidentals related to the purchase of the hybrid vehicles. CAPITAL
IMPROVEMENT FUND
SUPPORT:
The City reduced the expenditure amount related to the City's fish pond
immediately next to City Hall to $4,000, which represents a $6,000 reduction.
