RE 2010/11 Charter Schod Fund Budget Message
Memoors of the City Commission
In accordance with Article IV, Section 4.05 of the Charter of the City of Aventum, I hereby
submit the !)'"oposed Budget fcr the Charter School Fund for the fiscal year beginning July
2010, for your review and coosideration This budget document represents the seventh yea ct
operation of the Aventura City of Excellence School Our goal in the development and
preparation of a realistic balanced budget was to provide the funding levels to maintan the
quality erucation services for our students in light of these diffic ulteconomictimes
BudQetFormat
The format of the budget is in accordance with guidelines adopted by the State and School
Boad of Miami-Dade County, Florida and utilizes the school system's accoont codes as well
The proposed budget was prepared with input from the school administrative staff and
CSUSA
Sianificant Factors Affectina Budaet PreDaration
The 2010111 school year represents the eighth year of operations of the school Our past has
shown that we can continue to operate the school at ahigh level an dprovide quality erucation
for our students, within the school based revenues and without outside subsidies We have
also been fortunate to have a stroog business community and involve d parents that participate
infund raising activities for school improvements
This past year for the second year in a row, the State of Florida responding tothe economic
recession, reduced the amount offunding avalaijeforthe school As was previousG' reported,
based on reductionsimposedbytheStateLegislaturetobalmcethestaebudget, the Charter
School Fund lost $21,000 during the 2009/10 fiscal year The amount lost was offset by
reducing the school's budgeted contingency account The revenues for next year have been
estimated on the conservative side and cootinueto anticipate the funding reduction based on

P.gel
Ch.rterSchoolFundBudgot
In order to respond to the anticipated revenues for the upcoming school year without impacting
the "classroom" and current educational programs, the following plan of action was utilized in
the preparation of the budget:
. The transfer to the General fund in the amount of $30,000 to offset services
provided by the Finance Department, to the school will be deferred this year.
. Charter School USA agreed to freeze their fee at last year's rate which resulted
in a cost savings of $25,000.
. Revenue in the amount of $100,000 from the Red Light Violation Program is
included to assist in funding the contingency line item in the budget.
. Teacher salary increases will reflect a step increase based on years of service
reflective of the Miami-Dade School Board pay plan and provides that returning
teachers will be rewarded with a service award based on years of service. Based
on previous years increases and the service award program, our teachers
salaries will again exceed those of the Miami-Dade School Board.
. Downsized Special Project Coordinator position to part-time.
With the use of the additional classrooms constructed last year, class sizes will be reduced in
grades fourth through eighth and forty additional students will be admitted in the upcoming
school year. The budget contains the following changes to address the class size revisions,
the growth of the school sports program and expansion of technology in the classrooms:
. Four new teacher positions and two sixth period salary supplements were added.
. Math Mentor position was upgraded to Math Specialist.
. Two additional basketball intramural teams were included and competitive boys
and girls soccer were added to the school's athletic offerings.
. Funds have been budgeted to complete the installation of smart boards in all
classrooms.
In addition, a receptionist position for the front desk was added to accommodate larger student
population and has not been increased since the school opened with 600 students. A major
impact on the budget is attributed to an estimated 15% increase in employee health insurance
costs. The budget continues to include revenue in the amount of $125,000 from the Clear
Channel agreement for proceeds from the billboard advertising.
The overall budget increased by 3.8% or $277,829. This is largely due to the addition of forty
new students with eight students being added per grade in grades fourth through eighth. The
budget includes funding for lease payments to the Debt Service Fund to pay annual costs
associated with the long term debt borrowed for the construction of the elementary school
wing.
It is important that we continue to maximize the school dollars as much as possible and
maintain efficient use of budgeted funds.
Summary of All Budaetarv Funds
The total proposed budget for 2010/11, including all operating and capital outlay, is
$7,564,885. The majority of the budget is Personnel Services at $5,051,541. Operating

excellence for our community.
The budget contains funding levels to address the following key objectives:

long learners in their students as well as acting as role models in their own quest for
knowledge on the latest "best practices" in educational research to enhance their
teaching abilities.
. Putting into place a strong accountability system that will hold everyone at the school
responsible for maximizing learning opportunities.
. Creating a school climate that enables students and teachers to feel they are cared for,
respected, and contributing members of the school.
. A low staff-pupil ratio in order to enhance the development of the individual strengths of
each student.
. Continuing to use data to evaluate the efficacy of instructional programs.
. Providing additional staff members and costs associated with adding classrooms at
grades first, fourth and fifth and additional middle school sections in language arts and
sCience.
. Developing a strong parent-teacher relationship.
. Maximizing the use of technology embedded in classroom instruction as well as in a lab
setting.
The preparation and formulation of this document could not have been accomplished without
the assistance and dedicated efforts of the School's Administration. All questions relating to
the budget should be referred to my attention.

reduction of appropriations, if any, shall be made in accordance with Section 4.07 of the City
Charter.
The Budget establishes a limitation on expenditures by department total. Said limitation requires
that the total sum allocated to the Charter School department for operating and capital expenses
may not be increased or decreased without specific authorization by a duly-enacted Resolution
affecting such amendment or transfer. Therefore, the City Manager may authorize transfers from
one individual line item account to another, so long as the line item accounts are within the same
department and fund.
City of A ventnra

Charter School Fnnd Bndget
The "Personnel Allocation Summary" enumerates all authorized budgeted positions. However,
the City Manager may amend said authorized budgeted positions in order to address the
operating needs of the department so long as sufficient budgeted funds are available.
The budget is monitored on a monthly basis to track variances between actual and budgeted
amounts. Significant variances are investigated and monitored for corrective action. Quarterly
review meetings are held with the Principal and City Manager.
Encumbrances do not constitute expenditures or liabilities in the current year, but instead are
defined as commitments related to unperformed contracts for goods or services, which are
only reported in governmental funds.
Budget Amendment
Upon the passage and adoption of the Charter School Fund Budget for the City of Aventura, if the
City Manager determines that the department total will exceed its original appropriation, the City
Manager is authorized to prepare such Resolutions for consideration by the City Commission as
may be necessary and proper to modify any line item from the Budget.
Basis of Accounting
Basis of Accounting refers to the time period when revenues and expenditures are recognized in
the accounts and reported on the financial statements. Basis of accounting relates to the timing
of the measurements made, regardless of the measurement focus applied.
The accrual basis of accounting is followed for the proprietary fund types. The modified accrual
basis of accounting is followed in the governmental fund types and the expendable trust funds
type. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded when susceptible to
accrual, that is, when they are both measurable and available. Available means collectible within
the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay current liabilities. Expenditures are generally
recognized under the modified accrual accounting when the related fund liability is incurred.
Exceptions to the general rule are principal and interest on general long-term debt which is
recognized when due.
The Charter School Department Budget applies all applicable GASB pronouncements as well
as the following pronouncements issued on or before November 30, 1989, unless those
pronouncements conflict with or contradict GASB pronouncements: Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) statements and interpretations, Accounting Principles Board (APB)
opinions and Accounting Research Bulletins (ARBs).
During June 1999, the Government Accounting Standards Board (GAS B) issued Statement
No. 34. This statement established new accounting and financial reporting standards for state
and local governments. The Charter School implemented the new financial reporting
requirements of GASB 34.

CITY OF AVENTURA
OFFICE OF THE CITY COMMISSION
MEMORANDUM
TO:
City Commission
FROM:
Commissioner Billy Joel
DATE:
April 19, 2010
SUBJECT:
City Manager Evaluation
City Commission Meeting April 22, 2010 Agenda Item 4
Recently I met with the City Manager to discuss the accomplishments of the past year and the annual
evaluation outlined in the Employment Agreement. As I have said in the past, I think we all agree that we are
very fortunate to have Eric as our City Manager. His accomplishments with the City are too numerous to
outline in this memorandum. Very few cities have a manager with his years of experience, longevity and more
important, the stability he has provided to our City over the past 14 years. I would like to recognize three areas
of his exceptional work over this evaluation period.
Again this year, particularly in light of the economic recession, I cannot say enough about our City Manager's
ability to watch over the City's finances, the preparation of budget documents that conservatively forecast
revenues and realistically portrays the true cost of providing services, which has placed the City in a better
position than most to deal with revenue shortfalls. We have a strong business model in place that our City
Manager takes seriously and sets the tone for the entire organization. I am always amazed how much work is
accomplished with far less employees than most local governments. Year after year, our outside auditors have
given the City a clean bill of health and have reported no management letter issues. This is a major
accomplishment considering the City's budget of over $58 million, including the charter school.
The Mayor touched on the importance of maintaining and protecting the City's infrastructure in her State of the
City Address, which in the long run will reduce operating costs and maintain our quality of life. Since my
involvement with the City, I have always noticed the attention and importance our City Manager has placed on
insuring that the City's capital needs are met through a 5 year CI P and on the overall appearance of the City.
This is one of the major reasons why our City continues to attract new families and make our residents proud
to live here.
Based on our direction and his oversight, the Arts & Cultural Center project is on track to open in July 2010.
Keeping with his prior track record on other major projects, we are on time and on budget. Most do not realize
the hard work and commitment that is required to bring an idea or policy of the City Commission to fruition.
When the facility is dedicated, we all take pride in knowing we have delivered on our promises to provide this
facility for our residents to enjoy. Over the years, our City's reputation for the timely completion of projects and
within budget is second to none. This is attributed to Eric and his team.
I cannot say enough about his dedication and passion in striving for excellence for our City over the past 14
years.
Based on the foregoing I recommend the following:
. Net bonus of $20,000
. Recognizing these economic times, the City Manager has requested to forego his annual COLA
increase for the upcoming fiscal year 2010/11.
I feel that the items outlined above are reasonable and fair to both parties in lieu of any additional salary
increases at this time.
