Steven Alexander
City Manager
Manager's Report
Attached are the City's accomplishments for the period covering June 15 to July 5, 2014 which are
hereby submitted for your review prior to the Commission Meeting.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me.
Finance:
Finance continues the development of the FY 2016 DRAFT Budget, taking into account the
comments provided by the City Manager and department directors.
Finance is scheduled to meet with the Budget and Finance Committee Tuesday, July 7, 2015 and
continues 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. Finance has
attempted to schedule 6 Budget and Finance Committee Meetings and unfortunately, to-date, no
quorum has ever been reached for a meeting.
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.
Finance is in the process of closing May 2015. Once the budget to actual report for May 2015 is
complete, the City will be uploading to the City's website and providing to all department heads.
-2 -City Manager's Report to the Commission for July 7, 2015
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. The County
provided the City with an option which seems to be extremely beneficial to the City. The County
provided the City with the option to install the City's virtualization system at a County, high-
security, Data Center. Finance is currently developing a cost benefit analysis to determine the
advantageous of moving forward with the City's backend system being reallocated to a high-
security Data Center.
The City's Wi-Fi project is on complete hold until the connectivity problems are corrected.
Apparently there is a major issue somewhere between the antennas and the City's existing
firewall. The City is currently changing a switch in hopes of fixing the issue. Miami-Dade County
along with all other involved vendors are currently trying to fix the problem.
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. The City has provided a PO to the
County and the County is in the process of ordering the needed equipment.
Parking:
Parking continues stripping parking spaces throughout the City which will be converted to paid
parking. Moreover, as Parking completes the striping at other certain areas, parking will install
parking meter heads.
Parking continues 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.
