13THE CITY OF PLEASANT LIVING
CITY OF SOUTH MIAMI
OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER
INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM
To: The Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Commission
From: Steven J. Alexander, City Manager
Agenda Item No.: 13 Date: October 06,2015
Subject: A Resolution relating to budget; authorizing a transfer of $100,000 from City
Managers General Contingency account, to Public Works Solid Waste Division
Refuse Disposal Fee account.
Background: The City is requesting approval to transfer funds from the City Manager's
contingency line item to pay the outstanding invoices to Miami-Dade County for
the Solid Waste landfill tipping fees. This requirement is due to a few unforeseen
issues. One of the main reasons for the increase in the expenditure amount for
FY 2015 was due an increase in total garbage & trash disposal resulting in
approximately 200 additional tons in FY 2014/15 from the same period the
previous fiscal year. The increase in tonnage was attributed to Citywide trimming
of foliage and landscape as well as numerous fallen trees that have been
removed and disposed of by Public Works. Another contributing factor for the
increase was due to a rise of disposal and transfer fees, per ton. This increase
resulted in a 2.3% rate increase starting from the beginning of the fiscal year.
lastly, as South Florida continues to have rainy days, the water wets the garbage
and trash, increasing the weight resulting in an increase of tonnage and disposal
fees.
The transfer will allow the City to pay all outstanding invoices for FY 2015 and
eliminating the need to pay any FY 2015 outstanding invoice using FY 2016
monies, as has previously occurred in past fiscal years.
The City increased the Solid Waste landfill tipping fees for fiscal year 2016 and at
this time, the City feels confident with the amount budgeted, and should not run
into this issue next fiscal year, however, there are no guarantees.
Transfer Amount: $100,000
Transfer From: Account number 001.1310.513.9920 City Manager General Contingency,
with a current balance of $100,000.
Transfer To: Account number 001.1720.534.4340, Public Works Solid Waste Division
Refuse Disposal Fee, with a current balance of $625.
