CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI
OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM
THE CITY OF PLEASANT LIVING
To: The Honorable Mayor, Vice Mayor and Members of the City Commission
From: Steven Alexander, City Manager
Agenda Item: L Date: September 9, 2014
Subject: Levy of Millage Rate for FY 2014-15
An Ordinance of the City of South Miami, located in Miami-Dade County, Florida ("City"),
approving a tentative millage rate of the City for the fiscal year commencing October I, 2014,
through September 30, 2015 which amount may be amended at the first or second reading,
and approving and enacting the final millage rate of the City on second reading.
As you are aware, the FY 2015 Proposed Budget as of August 2, 2014 was based on the
proposed millage rate of 4.3639 and assumed significant budget benefits (savings)
resulting from the proposed outsourcing of the residential Solid Waste Division, along with
the Motor Pool Division. Due to the rejection of the budget saving outsourcing
proposal, and the Commission's desire to maintain those respective services in-house,
the City Administration was required to eliminate the approximate $650,000 in recurring
operating budget savings from the proposed budget. Below please find the proposed
revisions and cuts to accomplish a balanced budget based on the proposed millage rate of
4.3639 which was presented at the budget workshop on August 13:
REVENUES
Although projected revenues remain essentially the same, as shown in the previous draft
budget, the loss of some $650,000 in r e cur r i n g savings acts like a reduction in usable
revenue of that same amount. Therefore, cuts needed to be made in planned expenditures;
staff searched to identify any additional revenues. After further evaluation and discussions
with the City's Building Official, staff has increased the estimated Building Permit Revenue
amount by $200,000 for a total estimated revenue amount of $750,000. For the past two
fiscal years, revenues have exceeded the estimated building permit revenues. The City
expects that with the continued increasing levels of construction and remodeling occurring
throughout the City, estimated revenues will continue to stay in line with the actual received
revenues for the past couple of fiscal years, including FY 2014. This is the only change to
revenues staff could responsibly identify. .
EXPENDITURES
City Commission
City Commission's budget was reduced $36,405 by eliminating the expenditure enabling
elected officials the option of participating in the existing City-sponsored health plan.
City Manager
City Manager's Office relocated the budgeted office support position '1:0 the Planning
Department as part of reorganization. Furthermore, the proposed increase for the Assistant
City Manager was reduced by one step on the City's Pay Plan. Lastly, expenditure related to
the ONESolution Community implementation and report development was reallocated to the
MIS budget. The overall reduction in the City Manager's proposed FY 2015 budget is $54,124.
Management and Information Service (MIS}
In an effort to uniformly account for all capital purchases and large acquisitions, the
Virtualization Project was reallocated from the MIS Office to the CIP fund. MIS expenditures
increased due to the reallocation from the City Manager's Office of the ONESolution
Community implementation as noted in the City Manager budget. The net impact of reducing
the overall operating expense for the MIS Office is $61,189.
Central Services (Procurement Division)
The office supplies account for Central Services (Procurement Division) was reduced by $1,000.
Human Resources
Within the Human Resource's Office, a vacant full-time office support position has been
eliminated; the employee assistance and citywide training programs were reduced; and, due to
the Commission's rejection of proposed outsourcing of solid waste, and therefore the reduction
in authorized positions, the City reduced the unemployment compensation expenditure. Lastly,
the City is currently awaiting quotes for the City's insurance for property, auto, general liability,
and workers compensation. The City Administration currently expects the City's general
liability insurance premium amount, along with the deductible, to be reduced due certain
closed lawsuits and increased efficiencies; however, the addition of the Murray Park Swimming
Pool may reduce or eliminate these potential savings. Currently, the staff has reduced the
estimated general liability insurance premium amount. The total reduction for the Human
Resource Office is $275,183.
Planning Department
As part of the reorganization within the City Manager's Office, the Planning Department has
eliminated a vacant planning assistant position and an office support position originally within
the City Manager's budget has been transferred to Planning to address their staffing
requirements. Furthermore, the contractual services line item has been reduced for items,
such as land development code revisions, traffic studies, etc. These revisions have reduced
expenditures by $65,810.
Public Works Department
Within the Building Maintenance Division, the City reduced the contractual services estimated
expenditure for janitorial services in public buildings. In the Solid Waste Division, due to the
recent departure of a tenured employee, certain restructuring occurred, thus reducing the
Division's personnel expenditure amount. In the Streets and Landscaping Division, the City
eliminated a vacant full-time Maintenance Worker I position. In the Engineering and
Construction Division, the Contractual Services expenditure for City Welcome Signs and
miscellaneous infrastructure improvements were reallocated to the CIP fund. The overall
reduction in the Public Works Department is $126,545.
Police Department
The Police Department's Contractual Services line item was reduced as was the Supplies
account due to the reduction in the proposed renovations within the Police Department
facility. The overall reduction equals $21,000.
Parks and· Recreation Department
The Parks and Recreation Department, which is responsible for three divisions: Parks,
Community Center, and the new Community Pool, has gone through a major reorganization in
an effort to provide greater efficiencies and become more efficient. A vacant Recreation Aide
part-time position was eliminated and a full-time Recreation Leader position was reclassified to
Administrative Secretary within Parks. Within the Community Center, three vacant part-time
Recreation Aid positions and two vacant part-time Recreation Leader positions were
eliminated. The proposed full-time Pool Supervisor was eliminated and a new Recreation
Supervisor position was created within the Community Center, which will oversee many
different park programs along with the Community Pool. Lastly, the Community Center's
supplies account was reduced due to the elimination of the expense related to new flooring in
the Community Center. The overall expense reduction for the Parks Department is $103,687.
Emergency Reserve Fund
In an effort to maintain an amount that is more in line with the Government Finance Officer
Association's (GFOA) recommended establishment of 25% of the operating budget be allocated
as an unreserved, unassigned fund balance, I am proposing that the City provide funding in the
amount of $2,694,919 to the Emergency Reserve Fund to maintain 25% of the City's annual
operating budget amount in this critical account. The amount of the proposed transfer is
reflected within the City's Non-Departmental transfer out line item.
Summary
In summary, the overall reduction in the General Fund expenditures presented to the
Commission for the Budget Workshop on August 13, when compared to the presented August
2, 2014 proposed FY 15 budget is an estimated $744,943, creating a balanced proposed FY 15
budget, using the tentative approved millage of 4.3639.

THE CITY OF PLEASANT LIVING
CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI
OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM
To: The Honorable Mayor, Vice Mayor and Members of the City Commission
From: Steven Alexander, City Manager
Agenda Item: L Date: September 9, 2014
Subject: FY 2014-2015 Capital and Operating Budget and Pay Plan Adoption
An Ordinance of the City of South Miami, located in Miami-Dade County, Florida ("City"),
approving a proposed budget for the City for the fiscal year commencing October 1, 2014,
through September 30, 2015, which amount may be amended at the first or second reading
of this Ordinance, and approving and enacting the final budget on second reading.
As you are aware, the FY 2015 Proposed Budget as of August 2, 2014 was based on the
proposed millage rate of 4.3639 and projected significant budget benefits (savings)
resulting from the proposed outsourcing of the residential Solid Waste Division, along with
the Motor Pool Division. Due to the rejection of the budget saving outsourcing
proposal, and the Commission's desire to maintain those respective services in-house,
the City Administration eliminated the approximate $650,000 in recurring operating
budget savings from the proposed budget. Below, please find a discussion of significant
issues for the PROPOSED FY 14-15 Budget, which includes revisions recommended at
the August 13 Budget Workshop.
Revenue
The overall revenue amount for the General Fund remained the same as that which was
presented at the August 13 Budget Workshop. However, certain line items were revised
and certain funds reallocated to different revenue line items in an effort to better reflect and
account for City revenues.
The estimated Soccer Program revenue was displayed in account 001-0000-347-2630,
Recreation Fees. Based upon a review of the Soccer Program revenues and account 001-0000-
347-2650, South Miami Park Rental, it was noted that an earlier version of the budget had an
improper description of "Brewer Park Flag Football." This error has been corrected. Beginning
with FY 2015, the City will be including all revenues associated with the South Miami Park
Rental, including Soccer Program Franchise Fees, in the 001-0000-347-2650, South Miami Park,
rental line.
The Miscellaneous Other line contained revenues from various City fees that did not have a
specific revenue account such as: notary services fees, miscellaneous planning and ERPB fees,
public records request fees, business license transfer fees, a portion of lien search fees, copy
fees, vending machine commissions, etc. We have reallocated some of the revenues to other
more speCific revenue line items, such as Planning and ERPB, and created other revenue line
items, such as Business License Transfer Fee, Lien Search Fees, and Special Events, in order to
provide more clarity to the budget.
The Recreation Fees line item includes various Park program fees such as: football,
cheerleading, summer camp, after-school care, soccer, basketball, track, etc. In FY 15, excluded
soccer revenues will be accounted for in line item 001-0000-347-2650, South Miami Park
Rental. Additionally, the "Recreation Fees" account name will be changed to "Recreation ,
Program Fees."
Expenses
City-Wide:
The employee benefits package, approved by Mayor and Commission on Tuesday, August 19,
2014, includes health, dental, and vision insurance and has been negotiated to a lower rate
than expected. The City had originally budgeted a 15% increase in premiums from FY 2014's
policy amount; however, after negotiations, we were able to obtain a health benefits package
for only an 11% increase {25% less than originally projected}.
City Manager Office:
We have included $5,000 in the City Manager's Contractual Services line item to help fund the
development of the Business Improvement District {BID}.
Police:
The City has increased the Holiday Pay line item by an additional $7,000 to reflect projected
demands by the City, requiring officers to work on City-designated holidays for FY 2015. The
Holiday Pay requirement is included in the adopted PBA agreement.
Peoples Transportation Plan Fund:
We reduced the SW 62 Avenue Design and Roadway Reconstruction project by $80,000. Those
respective funds were allocated to direct transit-related improvements in order to meet the
20% requirement of the Peoples Transportation Plan. The overall expenditure for the PTP fund
remains unchanged.
Stormwater Fund:
Eleven Thousand Dollars {$ll,OOO} was removed from the FY 16 budgeted amount of $35,000,
to conduct a Sea Level Rising Study beginning in FY 2015; and, the FY 16 allocated amount of
$35,000 was reduced by the same amount, leaving a balance of $24,000 for FY 2016.
SUMMARY OF FINANCIAL ISSUES AHEAD
FPL Franchise Agreement:
The FPL Franchise agreement, which is currently being negotiated, continues to be a potential
financial unknown until an agreement is finalized. There exists the possibility of the FPL
franchise fee potentially diminishing in the range of $350,000 to $250,000, or worse.
Union Negotiations:
The current negotiations with the AFSCME and PBA unions may place additional financial
demands on our limited budget and perhaps may require additional funds currently not
budgeted.
Litigation expenses and exposures:
Currently, the City is involved in multiple litigations, resulting in future financial uncertainties. It
is, at this time, unrealistic for the City to estimate expenses and exposure for the FY 2015 budget.
Fuel expenses:
The price of fuel for our fleet varies significantly throughout a typical year. The City prepares for
this fluxuation with its strategy for estimating of fuel cost. The City requires that the usage of city
vehicles be limited only to the essential activities. City policy states that no city vehicle should be
left running idle when not necessary (the K-9 vehicle is the exemption); furthermore, all take
home cars should be used strictly pursuant to policy that stipulates that the vehicles will not be
used for personal use.
We hereby recommend approval of the Proposed Budget for the fiscal year 2014-2015,
including the capital improvement and pay plan, in a total amount of $23,290,229 as generally
presented below.
