SUBJECT:
Certification of Taxable Value/Dates for Public Hearings
We received the Certification of Taxable Value from Miami Dade's Department of
Property Appraisal on Friday, July 1st. A copy of the form is included as Attachment I.
The Total Taxable Value of $6,616,421,499 is somewhat higher than the $6.5 billion
estimate, which we received from the Property Appraisal Department on June 1st. The
form includes a breakdown of the increase in taxable value into two segments. The first
segment is the increase in taxable value due to new construction of $352,085,585 (line 5
of the form). The second segment is the portion of the total increase which is due to
increases in taxable value on existing property. This increase is computed as
$817,056,663 by subtracting the $5,447,279,251 shown on line 7 of the form from the
$6,264,335,914 shown on line 6 of the form.
The differentiation between the increase due to net new taxable value (new construction)
and the increase due to changes in taxable value of existing property is important
because the latter determines the computation of the "rolled back tax rate", Section
200.065 (1), Florida Statutes, defines the "rolled back rate" as that millage rate "which,
exclusive of new construction, additions to structures, deletions, increases in the value of
improvements that have undergone a substantial rehabilitation... will provide the same ad
valorem tax revenue... as was levied during the prior year". In simpler terms, the rolled
back rate is the tax rate necessary to generate exactly the same dollar amount of tax levy
as the previous year's levy had there been no growth or new construction in the City.
The rolled back rate for Aventura for 2005 (the 2005/2006 fiscal year) is 1.9356 as shown
on lines 10 and 18 of Attachment II. This is important because if we levy any rate above
the 1,9365 rolled back rate, we will be required to place a quarter page ad in the Herald
before the second public hearing on the budget and tax rate in September which is titled
"NOTICE OF PROPOSED TAX INCREASE". We will also be required to include the
statement that the proposed rate exceeds the rolled back rate by 15.00% in the
ordinance adopting the millage rate which will be read at the two public hearings in
September.

Memo to City Manager
Certification of Taxable Value/Dates for Public Hearings
Since we received the certification on July 1st, state law requires us to hold two public
hearings between September 3rd and October 8th. Mayra spoke to the Property Appraisal
Department today and they advised her that the County Commission's public hearings
are tentatively scheduled for September 6th and 20th and the School Board's hearing is
scheduled for September ih, Our meetings cannot conflict with these meeting dates. In
addition, Labor Day is observed on September 5th, Rosh Hashanah begins at sundown
on October 3rd, Therefore, the most logical dates are:
First public hearing
Second public hearing
6:00PM, Thursday, September 8th
6:00PM, Thursday, September 22nd
Since we need to include the date of the first meeting on the Certification of Taxable
Value, we need to have a commitment from the Mayor and Commission by no later than
the July 21st budget review meeting.
The information contained in the preceding paragraphs is based on my review of the
"Manual of Instructions for TRIM Compliance" published by the Division of Ad Valorem
Tax of the Florida Department of Revenue. Please feel free to call or stop by my office to
discuss this matter.

1S' Reading July 6, 2005 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item
2nd Reading July 21, 2005 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item::::::I.....
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Ordinance which
prohibits any "sexual violator" to reside within 2,500 feet of any school, day care center,
public school bus stop, park or playground.
This matter is being fast tracked based on the various cities in the County adopting
similar legislation. It should be pointed out that the County is considering legislation to
deal with this issue as well.
The Ordinance does not prohibit a person who is registered with the State of Florida as
a sexual violator, sexual offender, or sexual predator whose registration shows an
address within the City prior to the effective date or from continuing to reside at the
registered address solely because a school, etc. is subsequently built or established
within 2,500 feet of the address.

the State Justice Institute) published a study entitled Recidivism of Sex Offenders (May 2001),
and both studies suggested that there is an increased risk of recidivism for persons convicted of
sexual offenses; and
WHEREAS, the City Commission finds that the creation of a Sexual Offender Residency
Prohibition section in the City Code of Ordinances to prohibit convicted sex offenders from
living within two thousand five hundred (2,500) feet of specified locations in the City of

Motion to Reject Bids for RFP No. 0 - 4.11-2 - Traffic Video
Monitoring System
July 21, 2005 Commission Meeting Agenda Item ~
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission adopt a Motion to reject the bid received
by ATC for RFP No. 05-04-11-2 for Traffic Video Monitoring System and assign the
project to the Police Department
BACKGROUND
The subject RFP was opened on April 11, 2005. The City received only one response
in the amount of $336,964.65. The project involves the installation of traffic video
monitoring cameras at key intersections and creating the wireless infrastructure for
future expansion of the system to other intersections and locations in the City.
A Traffic Video Monitoring Committee was formed to evaluate the RFP response
submitted by A TC. See attached staff report. After many months of meetings and
requests for additional information, the Committee concluded that ATC could not
resolve outstanding issues and a satisfactory project plan could not be obtained.
Therefore, based on the recommendation of the Police Chief and the Committee, it was
felt that the project would be better managed in-house by the Police Department by
utilizing state bids, FDOT support and other resources available to the City.
Although I am concerned about the amount of time this project has taken to get off the
ground, I feel it is more important to do it right the first time and protect the City's
financial commitment to this important project
As pointed out above, the proper installation of the wireless network and related
equipment is crucial to a successful expansion of this technology in the future.

MEMORANDUM
TO:
Eric M. Soroka, City Manager
FROM:
DATE:
Tom Ribel, Chief of Police
July 6, 2005
SUBJECT:
Traffic Video Monitoring System
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City reject all bids tendered for the subject project and that
the project be assigned to the Police Department to design, purchase and build.
Commander Deidre Fogelgren and IT Director Karen Lanke have agreed to be project
coordinators and Sgt Tom Labombarda will be assigned as project manager.
This project was conceived more than two years ago after observing the Florida
Department of Transportation's (FDOT) camera system on the internet An informal
meeting was held with FDOT where they offered their support and cooperation for a
similar project in Aventura. Ms. Karen Lanke joined the project team and recommended
that the system incorporate a wireless network to provide other functions besides video.
Ross & Baruzzini was hired as consultants to assist in the development of project
specifications.
After reviewing the proposal from A TC and failing to get a satisfactory project plan, the
team unanimously agreed that the project would be better managed by doing the job in-
house.
I have attached a draft project overview for your review.
Traffic Video Monitoring System
July 6, 2005
Project Overview
The design and implementation of a traffic video monitoring system and wireless
network that will send streaming video with a wireless transfer from the intersection of
Miami Gardens Drive and Biscayne Blvd to the Aventura Police Department
Communication Center and the Florida Department of Transportation. The system will
be used for the observation of the roadways for traffic problems, early reporting of
accidents and traffic tie ups.
The City will provide portions of the video from the monitoring system to citizens,
visitors and businesses. The video will be provided via the Internet and through AVTV,
the City's government access cable channel. The Internet broadcast of the video will
be provided via FDOT's website and also directly or via a link from the City's website.
We will utilize wireless "mesh" technology. This technology will be selected based on
several factors including; speed; security; ability to recover and or re-route traffic and
reliability, We will incorporate the mesh technology with the backbone to transmit the
datalvideo images to the Police Department
Project Management
The Project will be overseen by Commander Deidre Fogelgren and IT Manager Karen
Lanke. Project Management will be the responsibility of Sergeant Thomas
Labombarda.
Proposed Project Plan
The project will be broken into three sub-phases (categories) of technologies that will
ultimately be joined together to complete the final project and main objective of
transmitting full motion 30 Fps video from the intersection of Miami Gardens Drive and
Biscayne Blvd. These categories will be the construction portion, (pole/rooftop), the
video equipment, and the wireless network.
Project Assistance
Assistance will be provided by numerous entities:
. Project vendors: vendors will recommend technologies and be responsible for
the delivery, installation and maintenance of equipment

ERIC SOROKA, CITY MANAGER
THOMAS RIBEL, CHIEF OF POLICE
CAPTAIN SEEFCHAK
TRAFFIC VIDEO MONITORING COMMITTEE REPORT
As you're aware, a committee has been working on a project to have video
cameras installed in order to monitor the flow of traffic in order to assist in
identifying problems that prevent vehicles from moving through the City in an
efficient manner. The first phase of the project was to design a system that
would be capable of monitoring the intersection and roadways approaching the
intersection of Miami Gardens Drive and Biscayne Boulevard.
Members of the committee included myself, Commander Deidre Fogelgren and
Sergeant Tom Labombarda of the Aventura Police Department and the City of
Aventura Information Systems Manager, Karen Lanke. Police Chief Thomas
Ribel and Deputy Chief Steve Steinberg also participated and received regular
briefings on the progress of the project and the bid process. The City also used
the services of a consultant, Michael Rabb, of Ross & Baruzzini, an engineering
consulting firm, and Kevin Hart, of Craven-Thompson, another consulting firm.
The City's Purchasing Agent, Jeff Shields, was later included to guide the project
through the bid project
The initial project was to provide a video feed from selected roadway
intersections into the Communications section of the Aventura Police
Department The feed would be monitored by police dispatch personnel and also
be available on the internet for viewing. Early in the process, however, it was
recognized that the opportunity existed to expand the project to integrate with the
Florida Department of Transportation and also build in an expandable wireless
network. The committee met with representatives of F-DOT at the traffic
command center they were using at that time and discussed the project F-DOT
advised that they were willing to provide support and assistance for the project
and they indicated that it was possible for us to link our video feed into their
system. FDOT would be able to view the feed and it could also be placed on their
INTEROFfICE MEMO: AVENTURA TRAFFIC VIDEO MONITORING COMMI1TEE REPORT
Sunguide Traveler Information website that provides video views of numerous
South Florida highways.
The committee also embraced the idea that the City should build an
infrastructure from the beginning that would be sufficient to not only handle the
video feeds, but would also be able to accommodate many future applications as
well. With this in mind, the goals of the committee were re-evaluated and higher
expectations for the system were established. This included enhancing the traffic
video monitoring so that it could eventually be viewed on the City's website, and
possibly the City's cable network and even to the computers of designated City
personnel if we desired.
The committee met numerous times with the consultants in order to prepare a
proposal that could be sent out for bid. It was decided that instead of us setting
specific standards for the system, our proposal would focus more on the concept
of what we were looking to do, establish minimum standards where necessary,
and have vendors submit what they envisioned to be the best solution. Since
technology evolves so quickly, and with new products being developed at such a
rapid pace, we were of the opinion that this method would be less restrictive on
vendors to provide us with the best and most up to date solution.
In February of this year, a Request for Proposal (#05-04-11-2) was put out for
vendors to bid on. It was emphasized that for this project, that while cost was a
factor, it was not the primary consideration and that the proposed solution would
carry a higher weight when the proposals were reviewed.
Eleven vendors picked up Project Manuals for the proposal. Two notified the
City that they were not going to submit a proposal. One proposal was received
by the deadline, A second company called the day that the bids were opened,
but after the deadline, and their proposal was not accepted. The proposal that we
received was submitted by ATC International (ATC). A scoring system was
prepared for members of the committee to rate and rank multiple proposals. The
review system would have been utilized to narrow the list of submissions to the
ones that had the most promise based upon their proposal. Since this was the
only submission, the members of the committee did not score the proposal. ATC
asked for the opportunity to do a presentation on their proposed solution. They
were allowed to do so.
ATC provided us with the presentation on April 19th, 2005. Their proposal was
based upon an unlicensed, wireless solution. We did not require a licensed
solution in our standards in case a viable, unlicensed solution was available.
After discussion, it was decided that the unlicensed solution was not acceptable
to us and ATC was requested to modify their proposal to accommodate a
licensed solution.
INTEROFFICE MEMO: ¡\vENTURA TRAFFIC VIDEO MONITORING COMMITTEE REPORT
After reviewing the proposed solution that was submitted by ATC and listening to
their presentation, members of the committee had questions that they did not feel
were addressed in the proposal or the presentation. The committee felt that
insufficient information had been provided to base a confident decision upon.
Since ATC provided the only submission, the committee elected to further
research ATC's proposal in order to have a better understanding of their solution
and to attempt to eliminate our concerns. ATC was asked to furnish additional
information and further clarify their solution.
ATC responded with some information but still did not answer all of our questions
or satisfy our concerns. In addition, contact was made with two organizations
that ATC has worked with before, the United States Coast Guard (USCG) and
the Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission (FWC). ATC encouraged us to contact
them and offered to provide a demonstration of systems that they had installed
for them. Projects involving both agencies were also referred to in the proposal
submitted by ATC. The representative of the USCG expressed some
dissatisfaction with the system. They advised that in fairness, ATC had to put
together the project in a hurry prior to the FTAA event in Miami and that some of
the issues they had with the system may be due to the software that was used.
It's also possible the customer did not request a more robust system and that
affected the overall quality. The system was being turned over to the FWC to
maintain and monitor.
A representative of the FWC advised that they were generally satisfied with the
product, however it was not working at that time, FWC eventually planned on
relocating the monitoring point from a site adjacent to the North Miami Campus of
Florida International University into the new traffic control command and dispatch
center that they share with F-DOT and the Florida Highway Patrol.
After ATC provided the committee with additional information, questions still
remained. Arrangements were made for our consultant, Michael Rabb to meet
with A TC representatives to discuss various points. While some questions were
answered, others were raised. ATC was permitted to submit an amended
proposal based upon a licensed system. This did cause a significant price
increase but the committee did not feel that this was out of line based upon our
expectations of the projected cost.
At this point, the committee was not comfortable with the ATC proposal and we
felt that there was still information that was lacking. Committee members were
asked to prepare a list of concerns or issues that we felt needed to be discussed
with ATC in a face-to-face meeting. The list was paired down to six items that
were forwarded to ATC prior to our meeting with them. (See attached list)
When we did meet with ATC representatives to discuss these issues, the
committee was optimistic that we would be able to alleviate our concerns and
that ATC would be prepared with the information we requested, ATC provided a
INTEROFFICE MEMO: AVENTURA TRAFFIC VIDEO MONITORING COMMIITEE REPORT
list of responses to our list of issues, however the written response was still
lacking information that we had requested. In addition, it contained errors and
inaccurate information that did not instill confidence in the solution. We
discussed the issues further in order to clarify what it was we wanted. One of the
concerns of the committee at this point is that it still appeared as if the people
involved in the project on behalf of the vendor did not have a clear understanding
on what we were looking for. It also appeared as if different people were working
on different parts of the proposal, but it lacked the consistency to lead us to
believe that one person was overseeing the entire proposal.
The committee agreed to give ATC until the following afternoon to provide the
information we were requesting as time would be needed to review the
information in order to have it placed upon the agenda for the July 2005
Commission meeting. ATC did deliver part of the information on schedule but
advised that they would need the additional time of the weekend to complete the
rest. ATC did provide updated information on the following Monday.
The committee evaluated the most recent information and briefed Chief Ribel
and Deputy Chief Steinberg. While more of the requested information was
contained in the packet provided by the vendor, it was not provided to the degree
of detail that we had asked for in our discussion and there were numerous details
that still needed to be addressed, modified and agreed upon before work could
begin. It was the general feeling of the committee that the vendor would be able
to provide the solution for the project; however, it would require significant
oversight on the part of the City to insure that the product was being constructed
in accordance to our needs and specifications. The committee was also
concerned with the appearance that not one person was in charge of preparing
this project for our approval.
Should the City wish to proceed with this vendor, well written performance
clauses should be included and the vendor should be required to provide a
project manager with a documented track record to oversee this project. While
the committee understands that all details of the solution would not be in final
form at this stage of the process, we were disappointed that the vendor did not
provide a more clear and comprehensive project plan or scope of work despite
being asked for on more than one occasion. A "Detailed Technical Analysis" was
included in the final documents that were submitted and this could perhaps be
interpreted as a project plan, but the information contained failed to meet our
expectations for a project such as this. As of this time, only items 5 and 6 from
our list of issues have been resolved to our complete satisfaction. Item 3 is
partially resolved. Items 1,2 and 4 are still in question.
Members of the committee are available to meet with you should you require
additional information before preparing your recommendation.
INTEROFFICE MEMO: AVENTURA TRAFFIC VIDEO MONITORING COMMITJ'EE REPORT
ISSUES TO DISCUSS WITH ATC
1. We would like to have a clear project plan with details on how A TC intends on
meeting the needs of our RFP (Project Parameters).
2. More specific information is needed as to the connections with F-DOT, our
website and the City video server.
3. Alternate costs of a licensed solution including but not limited to the following:
-equipment
.studies
Essentially, everything that is needed for a turn-key, licensed frequency
excluding the cost of actually obtaining the license. The City will obtain the
license but we would like the cost of any equipment for a licensed frequency and
any studies that may be required to obtain the license.
4. Refer to page 04000-31 of the RFP. Section 2.3.7, that specifies that "wireless
transmissions" shall be secured using a minimum of 128 bit encryption. This
needs to be clarified and we would like updated documentation that
demonstrates compliance with the performance specifications.
5. Can we get a complete (within reason) parts listing that ATC intends to use and
also a complete budget breakdown. Part of this is to provide an estimate for
future growth so we can clearly identify and plan future fiscal parameters. This
should include maintenance.
6. We would like to discuss the pros and cons of placing the repeaters on top of the
Washington Mutual Building at Biscayne Boulevard and the Lehman Causeway
in lieu of using a concrete pole.
