OFFICE MEMORANDUM
Honorable Mayor and City Commission
August 18, 2015
Steven Alexander
City Manager
Manager's Report
Attached are the City's accomplishments for the period covering August 4 -August 16, 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:
Finance is updating the FY 2016 PROPOSED Budget based on the comments provided at the
August 13, 2015 Budget Workshop. Finance is working on the required advertisements for the
upcoming budget hearings.
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 is in the process of closing July 2015. Once the budget to actual report for July 2015 is
complete, the City will be uploading to the City's website and providing to all department heads.
Management Information Systems:
The County has received the City's virtualization servers and have racked the servers at their
secure facility. The City is moving forward with the option which is extremely beneficial to the
City. The County will be installing the City's virtualization system at a County, 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
-2 -City Manager's Report to the Commission -August 18, 2015
firewall. The City has completed the installation of a new switch and is in the process of
purchasing a new modem. Miami-Dade County along with all other involved vendors are currently
trying to fix the problem.
Parking:
Parking is working with Planning on obtaining certain information related to the City's downtown
parking infrastructure.
Parking has submitted the required annual reports. Laz Parking continues working on completing
the marketing plan for the City's parking infrastructure and public parking garage.
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.

GIS information about their facilities, or build a GIS dataset for their agency. Once
this information is entered into PRORAGIS, agencies can perform various analyses
