City Manager
Manager's Report
Attached are the City's accomplishments for the period covering May 19 to May 30, 2015 which
are hereby submitted for your review prior to the Commission Meeting.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
Finance:
The CRA Audit has been issued; Finance continues working with the auditors for the completion of
the pension audit report.
Finance has completed the development of the FY 2016 DRAFT Budget. The DRAFT FY 2016
budget Binder has been provided to the City Manager for his review.
Finance is working with the Budget and Finance Committee on the development of their
recommendation for FY 2016's budget and the development of City Budget Practices.
The City installed a new Wi-Fi modem and testing was not a success. The City is working to
complete one final test this week, if testing does not provide successful, the City will be
attempting to move forward with the previous modems, which were tested and successful within
the Digital Pay Station machine located Downtown.
Finance is on hold with the installation of the new upgrade to the City's ONESolution Finance
program until the City's New Virtualization server is installed. Finance continues to trouble shoot
any issues related to the City's ONESolution finance system. Finance continues to monitor the
different department's issues and help correct those matters.
Finance continues to update and trouble shoot issues related to the City's website. Finance
currently revised certain items within RequestTracker in an effort to provide better service for
residents, businesses, and visitors.
-2 -City Manager's Report to the Commission for June 2, 2015
Finance is in the process of closing April and May 2015. Finance has uploaded the check register
report to the City's website for April. Once the budget to actual reports are complete, the City will
be uploading to the City's website and providing to all department heads.
Management Information Systems:
The City held the IP Re-Design of the City's IP addresses kick off meeting. Preliminary work is
being conducted to integrate the City's IP re-design with the virtualization project. Power
requirements continue to be evaluated to make sure the needed amount of power is available to
complete the installation of the new servers.
Finance, Procurement and Miami-Dade County lTD continue working together to prepare and
procure the City's virtual server environment equipment which will help bring the City's aged IT
servers, which are mostly all out of warranty, up-to date.
In an update to last week's disk failure on the City's Data server, the City's data has been restored
and is currently being backed up to a provided County Server; until virtualization has been
implemented. The City is working with the County and Fibernet to get a line for off-site backup, in
preparation for any emergency and/or required full-restore.
Parking:
Parking continues stripping parking spaces throughout the City which will be converted to paid
parking. Parking has installed multiple single meter heads within the industrial area and around
the South Miami Charter School. Moreover, as Parking completes the striping at other certain
areas, parking will install parking meter heads.
Parking is reviewing a possible partner, to provide video updates of parking stalls, real-time. The
program may serve to substitute the costly smart parking initiative, like Streetline's program, by
not requiring any major capital costs. The vendor has come to us in an effort to provide a US pilot
program, which would cost the City $0. Review is in progress.
Nonetheless, until the video option is presented as viable, the City is moving forward with the
development of a smart parking program. The City Manager has reviewed and provided
comments for the RFP for smart parking second version. Finance and procurement has addressed
the comments and has forwarded the revisions to the City Manager for final review. The City
continues anticipating the item being heard before the City's Commission in the latter part of
2015.
