SUSAN GOTTLIEB, MAYOR ATTEST: TERESA M. SOROKA, MMC CITY CLERK APPROVED AS TO LEGAL SUFFICIENCY: CITY ATTORNEY CITY OF AVENTURA FINANCE DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM TO: City Commission FROM: Eric M. Soroka, ICMA -CM, City Manager 7' BY: Brian K. Raducci, Finance Director DATE: February 20, 2014 SUBJECT: Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2013 March 4, 2014 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item Recommendation It is recommended that the City Commission approve the following motion: "Motion to accept for filing of the Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013 and the letter dated February 12, 2014 attached hereto as Attachment A." Background The CAFR, a letter from our independent auditors — Keefe, McCullough & Co., LLP dated February 12, 2014 and a staff - prepared memorandum were distributed to the City Commission on February 20, 2014. The Rules of the Auditor General, Chapter 10.550, require that the CAFR be filed as an official record at a public meeting. This motion satisfies that requirement. In addition, the auditors have requested that their letter dated February 12, 2014, identified as "Attachment A" on the staff - prepared memorandum, be accepted for filing with the City Commission. A representative from the auditing firm will be present at the March 4th City Commission meeting. However, since the CAFR is the City's responsibility, I respectfully request that any questions be discussed with the City Manager prior to the meeting. BKR /bkr ATTACHMENT A A LETTER FROM OUR INDEPENDENT AUDITORS - KEEFE, MCCULLOUGH & CO., LLP DATED FEBRUARY 12, 2014 I, Keefe, McCullough & Co., LLP Certified Public Accountants February 12, 2014 To the Honorable Mayor, Member of the City Commission and City Manager City of Aventura, Florida We have audited the financial statements of the governmental activities, business -type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Aventura, Florida (the "City "), for the year ended September 30, 2013. However, we did not audit the financial statements of the City of Aventura Police Officers' Retirement Plan Pension Trust Fund, which represent 100 % of the total assets, net position, and revenues of the fiduciary funds. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for the City of Aventura Police Officers' Retirement Plan Pension Trust Fund, is based solely on the report of the other auditors. Professional standards require that we provide you with information about our responsibilities under generally accepted auditing standards, Government Auditing Standards and OMB Circular A -133, as well as certain information related to the planned scope and timing of our audit. We have cormnunicated such information in our engagement letter to you dated November 13, 2013. Professional standards also require that we comrnunicate to you the following information related to our audit. Significant Audit Findings Qualitative Aspects of Accounting Practices Management is responsible for the selection and use of appropriate accounting policies. The significant accounting policies used by the City are described in Note 1 to the financial statements. No new accounting policies were adopted and the application of existing policies was not changed during the year, except for the implementation of GASB Statement No. 63, Financial Reporting of Deferred Outflows of Resources, Deferred Inflows of Resources, and Net Position and GASB Statement No. 65, Items Previously Reported as Assets and Liabilities. We noted no transactions entered into by the City during the year for which there is a lack of authoritative guidance or consensus. All significant transactions have been recognized in the financial statements in the proper period. Accounting estimates are an integral part of the financial statements prepared by management and are based on management's knowledge and experience about past and current events and assumptions about future events. Certain accounting estimates are particularly sensitive because of their significance to the financial statements and because of the possibility that future events affecting them may differ significantly from those expected. The most sensitive estimates affecting the City's financial statements were: • Defined Benefit Pension Plan — The net pension asset is calculated as the difference between the annual required contribution and the actual contributions made by the City. The City with input from its pension actuary developed the actuarial assumptions based on relevant criteria. Management reviewed and approved the financial statements estimates derived from the pension actuarial report. 6550 N. Federal Highway Suite 410 Fort Lauderdale, FL 33308 954.771.0896 954.938.9353 (F ) www.kmccpa.com P City of Aventura, Florida - 2 - February 12, 2014 • Depreciation of capital assets — Depreciation is provided on a straight -line basis over the respective estimated useful lives ranging from 3 to 40 years. The City has informed us they used all relevant facts available to them at the time of acquisition to make the best judgments about the depreciation methods and estimated useful lives of capital assets. • Net OPEB Obligation - In Florida, state statutes require that the employer make health insurance coverage available to retirees at the employer's group rate. This creates an implicit cost arising as a result of the blended rate premium since retiree health care costs, on average, are higher than those of active employee healthcare costs. In addition, the City's policy is to pay those premiums for certain department directors at retirement. The City obtained an actuarial valuation to record its estimated cost and liability in accordance with the requirements of GASB Statement No. 45, Accounting for Financial Reporting by Employers for Post - Employment Benefits Other than Pensions (OPEB). We evaluated the key factors and assumptions used by management to develop and report the above significant estimates in determining that they are reasonable in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole. The financial statement disclosures are neutral, consistent, and clear. Difficulties Encountered in Performing the Audit We encountered no difficulties in dealing with management in performing and completing our audit. Corrected and Uncorrected Misstatements Professional standards require us to accumulate all known and likely misstatements identified during the audit, other than those that are clearly trivial, and com inunicate them to the appropriate level of management. There were no such misstatements identified during our audit. In addition, we are responsible to communicate adjustments made to the financial statements arising from our auditing procedures that could, in our judgment, have a significant effect on your current financial reporting /process. There were no such adjustments identified during our audit. Disagreements with Management For purposes of this letter, a disagreement with management is a financial accounting, reporting or auditing matter, whether or not resolved to our satisfaction that could be significant to the financial statements or the auditor's report. We are pleased to report that no such disagreements arose during the course of our audit. Management Representations We have requested certain representations from management that are included in the management representation letter dated February 12, 2014. Management Consultations with Other Independent Auditors In some cases, management may decide to consult with other accountants about auditing and accounting matters, similar to obtaining a "second opinion" on certain situations. If a consultation involves application of an accounting principle to the City's financial statements or a determination of the type of auditor's opinion that may be expressed on those statements, our professional standards require the consulting accountant to check with us to determine that the consultant has all the relevant facts. To our knowledge, there were no such consultations with other accountants. City of Aventura, Florida - 3 - February 12, 2014 Other Audit Findings or Issues We are to discuss with the City Commission any major issues discussed with management in connection with our retention as auditors, including the application of accounting principles or auditing standards. There were no issues discussed with management in connection with our retention as auditors. Other Matters With respect to the supplementary information accompanying the financial statements, we made certain inquiries of management and evaluated the form, content, and methods of preparing the information to determine that the information complies with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the method of preparing it has not changed from the prior period, and the information is appropriate and complete in relation to our audit of the financial statements. We compared and reconciled the supplementary information to the underlying accounting records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves. This information is intended solely for the use of the City Commission and management of the City and is not intended to be, and should not be, used by anyone other than these specified parties. 1 ee�e, ?ihc (!u6t!�h 9 Co., Z-1 KEEFE, McCULLOUGH & CO., LLP THE CITY OF AVENTURA, FLORIDA Comprehensive Annual Financial Report For The Fiscal Year Ended September 30, 2013 - &4�q:5 COMPREHENSIVE ANNUAL FINANCIAL REPORT OF THE CITY OF AVENTURA, FLORIDA FOR THE YEAR ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2013 -jr Prepared By The Finance Department Brian K.

INTRODUCTORY SECTION x n( vt�it` February 12, 2014 City of Aventurit Government Center 19200 West Country Club Drive Aventura, Florida 33180 SUSAN GOTTLIEB MAYOR COMMISSIONERS ENBAR COHEN TERIHOLZBERG BILLY JOEL MICHAEL STERN HOWARD WEINBERG To the Honorable Mayor, LUZ URBAEZ WEINBERG Members of the City Commission ERIC M. SOROKA, ICMA -CM and Citizens of the City of Aventura, Florida CITY MANAGER In accordance with Section 11.45, Florida Statutes and Section 4.11 of the City of Aventura (the "City ") Charter, submitted herewith is the City's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (the "CAFR ") for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013. The financial statements included in this report conform to the generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ( "GAAP ") as prescribed by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board ( "GASB "). The City is responsible for the accuracy of the data and the completeness and fairness of the presentation, including all disclosures. The financial statements have been audited by Keefe, McCullough & Co., LLP., C.P.A.'s. The independent auditors have issued an unmodified opinion that this report fairly presents the financial position of the City and complies with all reporting standards noted above. The contents of this report are aimed at compliance with GASB pronouncements, including Statement No. 34, requiring the preparation of government -wide financial statements on a full accrual basis of accounting for all funds and including Management's Discussion and Analysis. Also included are additional and enhanced Statistical Tables required by GASB Statement No. 44. THE REPORTING ENTITY AND ITS SERVICES The City was incorporated on November 7, 1995 and is a political subdivision of the State of Florida. The City operates under a commission- manager form of government and provides General Government, Public Safety and Community Services to its residents and business community. The Mayor and six (6) Commissioners are responsible for establishing the City's policies. The Mayor and Commission appoint the City Manager who is the Chief Administrative Officer of the City and is responsible for implementing policies adopted by the Commission. This report includes all of the funds for which the City is financially accountable. Although the Miami -Dade Board of County Commissioners, Miami -Dade District School Board, South Florida Water Management District and Florida Inland Navigation District levy and collect taxes on property located within the City's corporate limits, financial information on these taxing authorities is not included in this report since each has a separate elected governing body, are legally separate and are fiscally independent of the City. Annual financial reports of these units of government are available upon request from each authority. PHONE: 305- 466 -8900 • FAX: 305- 466 -8939 www.cityofaventura.com ECONOMIC CONDITIONS AND OUTLOOK The City serves an area of approximately 4 square miles with a population of nearly 38,000 residents. Prior to incorporation, the City received services from Miami -Dade County (the "County ") as a part of their unincorporated municipal services taxing unit. The City received no real property, facilities or equipment from the County upon incorporation. Fiscal Year 2013 The City's combination of upscale residential, Aventura Mall and commercial developments resulted in a taxable value of approximately $7.5 billion within a land area of less than 4 square miles. After years of decline due to the economic recession, the City's taxable value had increased again for the second consecutive year and overall property values had shown a modest increase. During the year, we continued to see positive signs that the local economy had improved as the number of building permits and applications for commercial and residential projects increased. Importantly, these new projects will produce jobs for the local economy. The City's population surpassed 37,000 residents. MAJOR INITIATIVES In the continued effort in making the maintenance of its infrastructure a priority, the City completed the following major capital improvements during fiscal year 2013: ✓ Country Club Drive Right Turn Lane at 34th Avenue ✓ Country Club Drive (Northbound) Road Resurfacing ✓ Traffic Signal Installation — Intersection of NE 185th & NE 28th Court In addition, the following major capital improvements were in process at the end of fiscal year 2013: ✓ Biscayne Boulevard Decorative Lighting Improvements Phase III & IV ✓ Admiral's Port Crosswalk Safety Improvements At the end of fiscal year 2013 the Government Center Parking Expansion project was 95% complete. This project consisted of constructing a new parking garage containing three levels adjacent to the Government Center to accommodate additional parking. The Aventura Arts & Cultural Center completed its third season and has become the cultural heart of the City since opening in 2010. Thousands have enjoyed a wide range of shows in this beautiful waterfront facility. Since its opening on August 25, 2003, the Aventura Charter Elementary School ( "School ") has achieved several milestones in the City's short history. The School was the first within the City's boundaries and the first municipal sponsored charter school in Miami -Dade County. The 2012/13 school year represented the 10th year of operations of the School. The School has been well received and has been at full capacity since its inception. The School has obtained academic success receiving an "A" grade issued by the State of Florida for the past nine (9) years. The School served 984 students in the 2012/13 school year and will serve 996 students in the 2013/14 school year. FINANCIAL INFORMATION Intemal Accounting Control Management of the City is responsible for establishing and maintaining internal controls designed to ensure that adequate accounting data are compiled to allow for the preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Internal control is designed to provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that these objectives are met. The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that: (1) the cost of a control should not exceed the benefits likely to be derived; and (2) the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and judgments by management. All internal control evaluations occur within the above framework. We believe that the City's internal accounting controls adequately safeguard assets and provide reasonable assurance of proper recording of financial transactions. Budqetary Control An annual appropriated budget is adopted for all governmental funds with the exception of the Charter School Fund, Federal Forfeiture Fund and Law Enforcement Trust Fund (Special Revenue Funds) and the Capital Projects Fund which was established in fiscal year 2013. In accordance with City Ordinance, appropriations are legally controlled at the Department level. Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase orders and other commitments for the expenditure of funds are recorded in the accounting records and is utilized throughout the fiscal year. Overview of Financial Activity The accompanying financial statements reflect that the City has continued to expand its services to meet the demands of its residential and business communities. A summary of the major financial activities is included in the Management Discussion & Analysis Section of this report. Fund Balances In fiscal year 2011, the City implemented Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 54 "Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions" for its governmental activities. GASB Statement No. 54 establishes various classifications of fund balance based on a hierarchy which details constraints placed on the use of resources by creditors, grantors, contributors, laws or regulations of other governments and those internally imposed. Fund balances classified as restricted are those with externally enforceable limitations on use. Fund balances classified as committed can only be used for specific purposes determined by formal action of the City Commission through an ordinance. Commitments can only be changed or lifted only by the City Commission through formal action. Assigned fund balances are amounts that the City intends to use for a specific purpose but are neither restricted nor committed. The intent to utilize these funds is delegated to the City Manager. Unassigned fund balance can be viewed as the net resources available at the end of the year. Retirement Programs The City contributed to four (4) defined contribution pension plans based on employee classifications created in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a). The plans currently cover all full -time employees of the City. Under these plans, the City contributes between 7% and an amount equal to the annual IRS maximum, depending on the employee classification. There are no employee contributions. Employer contributions for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013 were approximately $709,500. A defined contribution pension plan provides pension benefits in return for services rendered, provides an individual account for each participant and specifies how contributions to the individual's account are to be determined instead of specifying the amount of benefits the individual is to receive. Under a defined contribution pension plan, the benefits a participant will receive depend solely on the amount contributed to the participant's account, the returns earned on investments on those contributions, and forfeitures of other participant's benefits that may be reallocated to such participant's account. In order to encourage employees to supplement the defined contribution plan, a deferred compensation program is also available to all full -time employees. Under this program, employees may voluntarily elect to defer a portion of their salary to future years. Both programs are administered by the ICMA Retirement Corporation under a trust agreement. The plan assets are separate and the City does not exercise any control or fiduciary responsibility over the assets. Therefore, the assets, liabilities and transactions are not included in the City's financial statements. As discussed in the Notes to the Financial Statements, the City, through collective bargaining with the City's police officers agreed to establish a defined benefit retirement program covering all sworn officers. This program is funded by a combination of City and employee contributions and state insurance premium taxes. Please see Note 12 in the Notes to the Financial Statements for a detailed discussion of the retirement program. Financinq Programs and Debt Administration The City currently has four (4) outstanding long -term debt issues. At September 30, 2013, the principal balance outstanding totaled $27,215,000. The Series 2000 Revenue Bonds are bank qualified debt, secured solely by a covenant to budget and appropriate the required debt service payments each year. This loan is structured the same as a serial bond issue with principal payments due on October 151 and semi - annual interest payments due on April 151 and October 1st of each year with the final maturity on October 1, 2020. Debt service requirements average approximately $535,000 per year over the 20 -year life of the obligation. The interest rate is locked at 5.04 %. iii The Series 2010 Refunding Revenue Bonds are bank qualified debt, secured solely by a covenant to budget and appropriate the required debt service payments each year. This loan is structured the same as a serial bond issue with principal payments due on April 151 and semi - annual interest payments due on April 1st and October 1s' of each year with the final maturity on April 1, 2029.

OTHER INFORMATION Independent Audit In accordance with Section 11.45(3)(a) (4), Florida Statutes, and Article I, Section 4.11 of the City Charter, the City engaged the firm of Keefe, McCullough & Co., LLP, to perform the independent audit of the City's accounts and records. The independent auditor's reports are included in the Financial section. Certificate of Achievement The Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada ( "GFOA ") awarded a Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting to the City of Aventura for its comprehensive annual financial report for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2012. This was the seventeenth consecutive year that the City has achieved this prestigious award. In order to be awarded a Certificate of Achievement, a government must publish an easily readable and efficiently organized comprehensive annual financial report. This report must satisfy both generally accepted accounting principles and applicable legal requirements. A Certificate of Achievement is valid for a period of one year only. We believe that our current comprehensive annual financial report continues to meet the Certificate of Achievement Program's requirements and we are submitting it to the GFOA to determine its eligibility for another certificate. Acknowledgements The preparation of this report on a timely basis could not have been accomplished without the efficient and dedicated services of the entire Finance Department. We express our appreciation to all members of the Department who assisted and contributed to its preparation. We also wish to thank the City Commission for their interest and support in planning and conducting the City's financial operations in a responsible and progressive manner. Respectful mitted, Eric M.

We did not audit the financial statements of the City of Aventura Police Officers' Retirement Plan Pension Trust Fund, which represent 100% of the assets, net position, and revenues of the fiduciary funds. Those statements were audited by other auditors whose report has been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for the City of Aventura Police Officers' Retirement Plan Pension Trust Fund, is based solely on the report of the other auditors. We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America and the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor's judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity's preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinions. 655C N.

All amounts, unless otherwise indicated, are expressed in thousands of dollars. Financial Highlights • The assets and deferred outflows of resources of the City exceeded its liabilities at the close of the most recent fiscal year by $ 111.9 million (net position). Of this amount, $ 38.4 million represents unrestricted net position, which may be used to meet the government's ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors. • The City's total net position increased by $ 2.1 million over the course of this year's operations. Net position of our business -type activities decreased by $ 0.02 million, and the net position of our governmental activities increased by $ 2.2 million. • At the close of the current fiscal year, the City's governmental funds reported combined fund balances of $ 41.6 million, a decrease of $ 2.5 million in comparison with the prior year. Approximately 35 % of this amount ($ 14.5 million) is available for spending at the government's discretion (unassigned fund balance). • At the end of the current fiscal year, unrestricted fund balance (the total of committed, assigned and unassigned components of fund balance) for the General Fund was $ 36.2 million, or approximately 105 % of total General Fund expenditures. Overview of the Financial Statements The financial section of this annual report consists of four (4) parts— management's discussion and analysis (this section), the basic financial statements, required supplementary information, and other financial information that presents combining and individual fund financial statements and budgetary comparison schedules.

The focus of the government -wide financial statements is on the City's overall financial position and its activities. Reporting is similar to that of a private- sector business. The government -wide financial statements report information about the City as a whole and about its activities in a way that helps answer questions about the City's financial health and whether the current year activities contributed positively or negatively to that health. The City's government -wide financial statements include the statement of net position and statement of activities. As described below, these statements do not include the City's fiduciary activities because resources of these funds cannot be used to finance the City's activities. However, the financial statements of fiduciary activities are included in the City's fund financial statements because the City is financially accountable for those resources, even though they belong to other parties. The Statement of Net Position presents financial information on the assets held and liabilities owed by the City, both long and short -term, as well its deferred outflows /inflows of resources. Assets are reported when acquired by the City and liabilities are reported when they are incurred, regardless of the timing of the related cash flows to acquire these assets or liquidate such liabilities. For example, the City reports buildings and infrastructure as assets even though they are not available to pay the obligations incurred by the City. On the other hand, the City reports liabilities, such as other post - employment benefits even though these liabilities might not be paid until several years into the future. Deferred outflows /inflows of resources represent the consumption/acquisition, respectively, of net position that applies to a future period(s).

Basic Financial Statements Government -wide financial statements. The focus of the government -wide financial statements is on the City's overall financial position and its activities. Reporting is similar to that of a private- sector business. The government -wide financial statements report information about the City as a whole and about its activities in a way that helps answer questions about the City's financial health and whether the current year activities contributed positively or negatively to that health. The City's government -wide financial statements include the statement of net position and statement of activities. As described below, these statements do not include the City's fiduciary activities because resources of these funds cannot be used to finance the City's activities. However, the financial statements of fiduciary activities are included in the City's fund financial statements because the City is financially accountable for those resources, even though they belong to other parties. The Statement of Net Position presents financial information on the assets held and liabilities owed by the City, both long and short -term, as well its deferred outflows /inflows of resources. Assets are reported when acquired by the City and liabilities are reported when they are incurred, regardless of the timing of the related cash flows to acquire these assets or liquidate such liabilities. For example, the City reports buildings and infrastructure as assets even though they are not available to pay the obligations incurred by the City. On the other hand, the City reports liabilities, such as other post - employment benefits even though these liabilities might not be paid until several years into the future. Deferred outflows /inflows of resources represent the consumption/acquisition, respectively, of net position that applies to a future period(s). CITY OF AVENTURA, FLORIDA MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS September 30, 2013 The difference between the City's total assets, deferred outflows of resources, total liabilities and deferred inflows of resources is net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position may serve as a useful indicator of whether the City's financial position is improving or deteriorating. Although the City's purpose is not to accumulate net position, in general, as this amount increases it indicates that the City's financial position is improving over time. The Statement of Activities presents the revenues and expenses of the City. The items presented on the statement of activities are measured in a manner similar to the approach used in the private- sector, in that revenues are recognized when earned and expenses are reported when incurred. Accordingly, revenues are reported even when they may not be collected for several months after the end of the accounting period and expenses are recorded even though they may not have used cash during the current period. Both of the government -wide financial statements distinguish City functions that are principally supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenue (governmental activities) from other functions that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges (business -type activities). The City's governmental activities include general government, public safety and community services. The City's business -type activities include stormwater utility. Fund financial statements. Unlike government -wide financial statements, the focus of fund financial statements is directed to specific activities of the City rather than the City as a whole. Except for the General Fund, separate funds are established to maintain control over resources that have been segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City, like other state and local governments, uses fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance- related legal requirements. All of the funds of the City can be divided into three (3) categories: governmental funds, proprietary funds and fiduciary funds. Governmental funds. Financial statements consist of a balance sheet and a statement of revenues, expenditures, and changes in fund balances. These statements are prepared on an accounting basis that is significantly different from that used to prepare the government -wide financial statements. In general, these financial statements have a short -term emphasis and, for the most part, measure and account for cash and other assets that can easily be converted to cash. For example, amounts reported on the balance sheet include items such as cash and receivables but do not include capital assets such as land and buildings. The difference between the fund's total assets, deferred outflows of resources, total liabilities and deferred inflows of resources is fund balance, and generally indicates the amount that can be used to finance the next fiscal year's activities. The operating statement for governmental funds reports only those revenues that were collected during the current period or very shortly after the end of the year. Expenditures are recorded when incurred. For the most part, the balances and activities accounted for in governmental funds are also reported in the governmental activities columns of the government -wide financial statements. However, because different accounting basis are used to prepare governmental fund financial statements and government -wide financial statements, there are often significant differences between the totals presented. For this reason, there is an analysis after the governmental funds balance sheet that reconciles the total fund balances for all governmental funds to the amount of net position presented in the governmental activities column on the statement of net position. Also, there is an analysis after the statement of revenues, expenditures and changes in fund balances that reconciles the total change in fund balances for all governmental funds to the change in net position as reported in the governmental activities column in the statement of activities. 2 CITY OF AVENTURA, FLORIDA MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS September 30, 2013 Proprietary funds. Financial statements consist of a statement of net position, statement of revenues, expenses, and changes in net position and statement of cash flows. These statements are prepared on an accounting basis that is similar to the basis used to prepare the government - wide financial statements. For financial reporting purposes, proprietary funds are grouped into Enterprise Funds and Internal Service Funds. The City uses Enterprise Funds to account for business -type activities that charge fees to customers for the use of specific goods or services. These funds are used to report the same functions presented as business -type activities in the government -wide financial statements. Internal Service funds are used to account for services provided and billed on an internal basis. The City does not have any Internal Service Funds. Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government -wide financial statements, only in more detail. The City has one major enterprise fund, the Stormwater Utility fund. A statement of cash flows is presented at the fund financial statement level for proprietary funds, but no equivalent statement is presented in the government -wide financial statements for either governmental activities or business -type activities. Fiduciary funds. Fiduciary funds are used to account for resources held for the benefit of parties outside the government. Fiduciary funds are not reflected in the government -wide financial statement because the resources of those funds are not available to support the City's own programs. Fiduciary financial statements consist of a statement of net position and a statement of changes in net position. The City reports one fiduciary fund to account for the Police Officers' Retirement Plan Fund. Notes to the financial statements. The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in the government -wide and fund financial statements. Required Supplementary Information In addition to the basic financial statements and accompanying notes, this report also presents certain required supplementary information concerning various issues such as a comparison between the City's adopted and final budget and actual financial results for its General Fund and major special revenue funds (if applicable). The City adopts an annual appropriated budget for its governmental funds. A budgetary comparison schedule has been provided for the General Fund and major special revenue funds (if applicable) to demonstrate compliance with this budget. Required supplementary information is also presented for the City's defined benefit pension plan including a schedule of funding progress and schedule of employer and State of Florida contributions as well as a schedule of funding progress for other post - employment benefits. Combining and Individual Fund Financial Statements and Budgetary Schedules Combining statements referred to earlier in connection with nonmajor governmental, internal service and fiduciary funds are presented immediately following the required supplementary information. Additional budgetary schedules are presented in this section including, as applicable, nonmajor special revenue funds, debt services funds, and capital projects funds. VA CITY OF AVENTURA, FLORIDA MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS September 30, 2013 Government -Wide Financial Analysis The table below presents a summary of net position as of September 30, 2013 and 2012, derived from the government -wide Statement of Net Position: Current and other assets Capital assets Total assets Total deferred outflows of resources Long -term liabilities Other liabilities Total liabilities Net position: Net investment in capital assets Restricted Unrestricted Total net position Net Position (in thousands) Governmental Business -Type Activities Activities Total 2013 2012 2013 2012 2013 2012 $ 46,703 $ 48,108 $ 1,747 $ 1,473 $ 48,450 $ 49,581 90,942 87,374 6,829 7,127 97,771 94,501 137,645 135.482 8.576 8.600 146,221 144,082 568 608 SFR FnR 30,036 31,536 - - 30,036 31,536 4,849 3,392 43 44 4,892 3,436 34,885 34,928 43 44 34,928 34,972 63,727 59,177 6,829 7,127 70,556 66,304 2,910 2,240 - - 2,910 2,240 36,691 39.745 1,704 1,429 38,395 41,174 $ 103,328 $ 101,162 $ 8,533 $ 8.556 $ 111,861 $ 109,718 As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a useful indication of a government's financial position. At the close of the most recent fiscal year, the City's assets and deferred outflows of resources exceeded its liabilities by approximately $ 112 million. The largest component of the City's net position is net investment in capital assets and is 63% of total net position. This category reflects its investment in capital assets net of any outstanding related debt used to acquire these assets. The City uses these capital assets to provide services to the citizens of the City; consequently this component of net position is not available for future spending. Although the capital assets are shown net of debt, it should be noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources. The next largest portion of the City's net position is unrestricted and is 34% of total net position. Unrestricted net position represents resources that are available for spending. Restricted net position represents 3 % of total net position. Restricted net position represents resources that are subject to external restrictions on how they can be used. Capital assets and net investment in capital assets increased approximately $ 3.6 million and $ 4.6 million, respectively, in the governmental activities primarily due to the net effect of new capital /infrastructure projects, increase in accumulated depreciation, disposal of equipment and decrease in related debt. Current and other assets and unrestricted net position in the governmental activities decreased by approximately $ 1.4 million and $ 3.1 million, respectively, due to the decrease in cash, cash equivalent and investments primarily used to self- finance the acquisition and construction of the new capital /infrastructure projects of the City. There were no significant changes in business -type activities. CITY OF AVENTURA, FLORIDA MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS September 30, 2013 Over time, increases and decreases in net position measure whether the City's financial position is improving or deteriorating. In the current fiscal year, property taxes increased by $ 0.36 million as the assessed value of our taxable property increased modestly over the prior year coupled with no change in our ad valorem millage rate. We also experienced increases in the following revenue categories: utility tax - electric $ 0.27 million, unified communications tax - $ 0.17 million, state revenue sharing - $ 0.10 million and half cent sales tax - $ 0.13 million as the economy continued to show some signs of recovery.

Such information is useful in assessing the City's financing requirements. In particular, unrestricted fund balance (committed, assigned, and unassigned) may serve as a useful measure of a government's net resources available for spending at the end of the fiscal year. The General Fund is the City's chief operating fund. At end of the current fiscal year, unrestricted fund balance of the General Fund was $ 36.2 million while the total fund balance reached $ 36.5 million. Much of the unrestricted fund balance will be utilized in future years to continue to fund various capital needs and to maintain a hurricane /emergency and disaster recovery reserve. As a measure of the General Fund's liquidity, it may be useful to compare both unrestricted fund balance and total fund balance to total general fund expenditures. Unrestricted fund balance and total fund balance represent approximately 105 % of total general fund expenditures. Approximately 40% of the General Fund total fund balance - $ 14.5 million constitutes unassigned fund balance, which is available for spending at the government's discretion. The fund balance of the City's General Fund decreased by $ 3.1 million during the current fiscal year. Key factors of this net decrease include the planned use of fund balance to finance the following capital projects: $ 3.3 million to construct the Government Center Parking Garage containing three levels adjacent to the Government Center to accommodate additional parking. • Nearly $ 2 million to upgrade the Police Department P25 Radio System. Only $ 1 million actually expensed at year -end with the remaining $ 1 million encumbered and automatically reappropriated into fiscal year 2014 so that the project could be completed in January 2014. The Charter School Fund is used to record the operations of the Aventura City of Excellence School. The School's intergovernmental revenues increased by approximately $ 0.4 million due to the State Legislature increase in funding for education, approximately 2% in FTE revenues. In addition, the departmentalization of the fourth grade allowed increasing the school's capacity by 12 students (from 972 to 984) in the 2012/13 school year. Additionally, expenditures increased $ 0.3 million primarily as a result of teachers salary increases based on the revised pay plan and the services award based on years of service. In addition, the departmentalization of the fourth grade added a new full -time teacher position. The Street Maintenance Fund is used to record the operations of the street maintenance and construction costs, which are designated by State Statute. Debt Service Fund 2000 Series is used to record principal retirement and did not have any significant changes from the prior year. Proprietary Fund The proprietary fund showed approximately a $ 23,000 decrease in net position from the prior year. Total revenues remained at a similar level and expenses increased by approximately $ 114,000; due to an increase in cost of sales and services. Le CITY OF AVENTURA, FLORIDA MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS September 30, 2013 General Fund Budgetary Highlights During the year, the original budget was amended and revenues and expenditures were increased by approximately $ 4.22 million as follows: 0 $ 3.18 million related to the reappropriation of remaining capital funds from fiscal year 2012 for various capital projects which were either incomplete or assigned at the end of that fiscal year. • $ 0.27 million related to the increase in building permit activity. • $ 0.52 million related to operational overages in various departments which were offset by additional revenue. • $ 0.25 million related to capital outlay overages in various departments which were offset by additional revenue. During the year, revenues exceeded budgetary estimates and expenditures were less than budgetary estimates, resulting in the net utilization of fund balance of approximately $ 3.1 million. As explained earlier, much of the unrestricted fund balance will continue to be utilized in future years to fund various capital needs. Utility service taxes, franchise fees, intergovernmental revenues, licenses and permits, charges for services, and fines and forfeitures revenue exceeded the revised budget by $ 0.3 million, $ 0.04 million, $ 0.3 million, $ 0.1 million, $ 0.2 million, and $ 0.4, respectively. Nondepartmental capital outlay was approximately $ 14.4 million less than budgeted because the City budgets a reserve for future capital expenditures which accounts for a significant portion of the appropriated beginning fund balance. Capital Assets and Debt Administration Capital Assets As of September 30, 2013 and 2012, the City had $ 97.7 and $ 94.5, respectively, invested in a variety of capital assets, as reflected in the following schedule: Capital assets (in thousands, net of depreciation) Debt Administration As of year -end, the City had $ 27.215 million in debt outstanding compared to the $ 28.805 million last year, a 5.5 % decrease.

CITY OF AVENTURA, FLORIDA MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS September 30, 2013 The debt position of the City is summarized below and is more fully explained in Note 7: Bonded Debt and Notes Payable (in thousands) Governmental Business -Type Activities Activities Total 2013 2012 2013 2012 2013 2012 Non -Ad Valorem bonds S 27,215 S 28.805 S S 27,215 S 28.805 Economic Factors and Next Year's Budgets and Rates The State of Florida, by constitution, does not have a state personal income tax and therefore the State operates primarily using sales, gasoline and corporate income taxes. Local governments (cities, counties, school boards) primarily rely on property and a limited array of permitted other taxes (utility taxes, franchise fees and occupational licenses) as well as intergovernmental revenues for their governmental activities. For business -type activities and certain governmental activities (construction services and recreational programs), the user pays a related fee or charge associated with the service. The adopted operating and capital budget for fiscal year 2014 totals approximately $ 52.3 million, 9.9% lower than the final operating and capital budget for fiscal year 2013. This was due primarily to the completion of major capital projects in the current fiscal year. Operating costs were limited to a 3.6% increase as compared to the previous year. A major portion of the increase is attributed to a 10% increase or $ 200,000 in health insurance premiums. The budget maintains our current level for all City services except funding for recreational special events have been increased to add more family events. The model of privatizing many service areas of the City's operations over the years has served the City well and has allowed for a more cost effective service delivery system as compared to the traditional government structure. This along with implementing various energy saving measures throughout the organization assisted greatly in reducing our overall cost increases. The City's "Go Green" efforts continue to be been very beneficial in keeping our operating costs down. After years of decline due to the economic recession, the City's taxable value has increased again for the second consecutive year and overall property values have shown a modest increase. This year the City experienced a 3.8% increase in property values. The new value of $ 7.786 Billion is still sharply down from the pre- recession value of $ 9.609 Billion. Recently, we have witnessed positive signs that the local economy has shown some improvement. Many of the shopping centers along Biscayne Boulevard have completed major renovations and added new stores. New residential construction is on the upswing for the first time in five years. The number of building permits and applications for commercial and residential projects are on the upswing. Importantly, these new projects will produce jobs for the local economy. The new construction values rose less than one million in value. Although the local economy has made strides, we need to continue to remain prudent and conservative in our financial management of the City. Strong fiscal policies and prudent budgeting have enabled the City to maintain the lowest tax rate in the County while providing high - quality services to our residents. In order to continue this philosophy, the following principles guided the preparation of the 2013/2014 budget: 1) limit the overall operating costs increase to 4% while maintaining the current service levels and programs; 2) not increasing the tax rate; 3) bridge the revenue gap by utilizing reserve funds to support nonrecurring capital improvements; and 4) develop conservative revenue estimates and ensure that expenditure levels are maintained within the projected revenue amounts. 110 CITY OF AVENTURA, FLORIDA MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS September 30, 2013 Our mission is to join with our community to make Aventura a city of the highest quality and a city of excellence.

However, in the statement of activities the cost of those assets is depreciated over their estimated useful lives and reported as depreciation expense. This is the amount by which depreciation exceeded capitalized capital outlays in the current period: Expenditures for capital assets Less current year's depreciation In the statement of activities, the loss on the disposal of assets is reported, whereas in the governmental funds, the proceeds from the sale increase financial resources. The change in net position differs from the change in fund balance by: Cost of the assets disposed Related accumulated depreciation Repayment of bond principal is an expenditure in the governmental funds, but the repayment reduces long -term liabilities in the statement of net position. Some expenses reported in the statement of activities do not require the use of current financial resources and, therefore, are not reported as expenditures in governmental funds: Net pension obligation (asset) OPEB obligation Interest Amortization of deferred charge on refunding Compensated absences Revenues that are earned but not received within the availability period are recognized in the statement of activities when earned and subsequently in the governmental fund financial statements when they become available. The net difference is recorded as a reconciling item.

The City operates under a commission - manager form of government and provides the following full range of municipal services as authorized by its charter: public safety, highways and streets, building, licensing and code compliance, culture and recreation, public works and stormwater management, public records and general administrative services. The Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (the "CAFR ") of the City includes all funds. The financial statements of the City have been prepared to conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ( "GAAP ") as applicable to state and local governments. The Governmental Accounting Standards Board ( "GASB ") is the accepted standard - setting body for establishing governmental accounting and financial reporting principles. Significant accounting and reporting policies and practices used by the City are described below: A. Financial Reporting Entity The financial statements were prepared in accordance with Government Accounting Standards, which establishes standards for defining and reporting on the financial reporting entity. The definition of the financial reporting entity is based upon the concept that elected officials are accountable to their constituents for their actions. One of the objectives of financial reporting is to provide users of financial statements with a basis for assessing the accountability of the elected officials. The financial reporting entity consists of the City, organizations for which the City is financially accountable and other organizations for which the nature and significance of their relationship with the City are such that exclusion would cause the reporting entity's financials statements to be misleading or incomplete. The City is financially accountable for a component unit if it appoints a voting majority of the organization's governing board and it is able to impose its will on that organization or there is a potential for the organization to provide specific financial benefits to, or impose specific financial burdens on the City of Aventura. Based upon the application of these criteria, there were no organizations that met the criteria described above. B. Government Wide and Fund Financial Statements The basic financial statements include both government -wide (based on the City as a whole) and fund financial statements. The government -wide financial statements (i.e., the statement of net position and the statement of activities) report information on all activities of the City. As a general rule, the effect of interfund services provided and used has been eliminated from these statements. Governmental activities, which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from business -type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for services. The government -wide statement of activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or segment is offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those expenses that are clearly identifiable with a specific function or segment. Program revenues include: 1) charges to customers or applicants who purchase, use or directly benefit from goods, services or privileges provided by a given function or segment and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operation or capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues. 26 CITY OF AVENTURA, FLORIDA NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2013 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) The net cost (by function) is normally covered by general revenue (i.e., property taxes, sales taxes, franchise taxes, unrestricted intergovernmental revenues, interest income, etc.) Separate fund financial statements are provided for governmental funds, proprietary funds and fiduciary funds, even though the latter are excluded from the government -wide financial statements. The focus of fund financial statements is on major funds. Major individual governmental funds and the major individual enterprise fund are reported as separate columns in the fund financial statements. GASB Statement No. 34 sets forth minimum criteria (percentage of assets /deferred outflows, liabilities /deferred inflows, revenues or expenditures /expenses of either fund category for the governmental and enterprise, combined or funds that management deems of public importance) for the determination of major funds. The nonmajor funds are combined and presented in a single column in the fund financial statements. The government- wide -focus is more on the - sustainability of the City as an entity and the - change in aggregate financial position resulting from the activities of the fiscal period. The focus of the fund financial statements is on the major individual funds of the governmental and business- type categories, (by category). Each presentation provides valuable information that can be analyzed and compared to enhance the usefulness of the information. C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation The government -wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary and fiduciary fund financial statements. Revenues are recorded when earned and, expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year when an enforceable lien exists and when levied for. Grants and similar items are recognized as revenues as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the provider have been met. Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the government considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current fiscal period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting. However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences, pension, other postemployment benefits and claims and judgments, are recorded only when due. Property taxes when levied for, franchise fees, utility taxes, charges for services, impact fees, intergovernmental revenues when eligibility requirements are met and interest associated with the current fiscal period are all considered to be measurable and have been recognized as revenues of the current fiscal period, if available. All other revenue items such as fines and forfeitures and licenses and permits are considered to be measurable and available when cash is received by the City. 27 CITY OF AVENTURA, FLORIDA NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2013 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Proprietary fund -type operating statements present increases (e.g., revenues) and decreases (e.g., expenses) in net total position. Proprietary funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from non - operating items. Operating revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in connection with a proprietary fund's principal ongoing operations. The principal operating revenues of the proprietary fund are charges to customers for sales and services. Operating expenses for proprietary funds include the costs of sales and services, administrative expenses and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses that do not meet this definition are reported as non - operating revenues or expenses. The City reports the following major governmental funds: General Fund - This fund is the principal operating fund of the City. All general tax revenues and other receipts that are not allocated by law or contractual agreement to another fund are accounted for in this fund. Charter School Fund - This fund is used to account for revenues and expenditures from the operations of the Aventura City of Excellence School, a special revenue fund of the City. Street Maintenance Fund - This fund is used to account for revenues and expenditures, which by State Statue are designated for street maintenance and construction costs. Debt Service Fund Series 2000 - is used to account for the payment of principal, interest and other expenditures associated with the Series 2000 Revenue Bonds. The City reports the following major proprietary fund: Stormwater Utility Fund - This fund accounts for the operation of the City's stormwater system. Additionally, the government reports the following fiduciary fund type: Police Officers' Retirement Plan Fund - This fund accounts for the activities of the Police Officers' Retirement Plan that accumulates resources for pension benefits to qualifying police officers. As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government - wide financial statements. Amounts reported as program revenues include: 1) charges to customers or applicants for goods, services or privileges provided and fines and forfeitures, 2) operating grants and contributions and 3) capital grants and contributions. Internally dedicated resources are reported as general revenues rather than as program revenues. Likewise, general revenues include all taxes. 1. Cash, cash equivalents and investments - Cash and cash equivalents are defined as demand deposits, money market accounts and other short -term investments with original maturities of three months or less from the date of acquisition. ►W CITY OF AVENTURA, FLORIDA NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2013 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) The City maintains a pooled cash account for all funds. This enables the City to invest large amounts of idle cash for short periods of time and to optimize earnings potential. Cash and cash equivalents represents the amount owned by each City fund. Resources of all funds, with the exception of the pension fund, are also combined into investment pools for the purpose of maximizing investment yields. Earnings on pooled cash and investments are allocated monthly based on balances of the respective funds. The City's investments are reported at their fair value based on quoted market prices as reported by recognized security exchanges except for the Guaranteed Investment Contract which is recorded at cost and the City's investment in the Florida PRIME which is recorded at the amortized cost method. The pension plan's investments in common stocks, U.S. government securities, corporate bonds, and real estate are reported at fair value based on quoted market prices. Investments in money market funds are valued at amortized cost. 2. Receivables and payables - Activities between funds that are representative of lending /borrowing arrangements outstanding at the end of the fiscal year are referred to as either "due to /from other funds" (the current portion of interfund loans) or "advances to /from other funds" (the noncurrent portions of interfund loans). Any residual balances outstanding between the governmental activities and business activities are reported in the government -wide financial statements as "internal balances." Prepaid expenses /expenditures - Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to a future accounting period and are recorded as prepaid items in both government -wide and fund financial statements. 4. Inventories - Inventories are valued at the lower of cost (first -in, first -out) or market. These amounts are reported as nonspendable in governmental fund financial statements. Inventory is accounted for using the consumption method whereby inventories are recorded as expenditures when they are used. 5. Capital assets - Capital assets purchased or acquired with an original cost of $ 5,000 or more are reported at historical cost or estimated historical cost. Contributed assets are reported at fair value as of the date received. Additions, improvements and other capital outlays that significantly extend the useful life of an asset are capitalized. Other costs incurred for repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Depreciation on all assets is provided on the straight -line basis over the following estimated useful lives: Buildings 25 Improvements other than buildings 20-30 Infrastructure 20-40 Furniture, machinery and equipment 3 -20 Within governmental funds (government -wide level), amounts incurred for the acquisition of capital assets are reported as fund expenditures. Depreciation expense is not reported within the governmental fund financial statements. 29 CITY OF AVENTURA, FLORIDA NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2013 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 6. Deferred outflows /inflows of resources - In addition to assets, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred outflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred outflows of resources, represents a consumption of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an outflow of resources (expense /expenditure) until then. The City only has one item that qualifies for reporting in this category. It is deferred charge on refunding reported in the government -wide statement of net position. A deferred charge on refunding results from the difference in the carrying value of refunded debt and its reacquisition price. This amount is deferred and amortized over the shorter of the life of the refunded or refunding debt. In addition to liabilities, the statement of financial position will sometimes report a separate section for deferred inflows of resources. This separate financial statement element, deferred inflows of resources, represents an acquisition of net position that applies to a future period(s) and so will not be recognized as an inflow of resources (revenue) until that time. The City has only one type of item, which arises only under a modified accrual basis of accounting, that qualifies for reporting in this category. Accordingly, the item, unavailable revenue, is reported only in the governmental funds balance sheet. The governmental funds report unavailable revenues from intergovernmental revenue. These amounts are deferred and recognized as an inflow of resources in the period that the amounts become available. 7. Compensated absences payable - The City's sick leave policy permits employees to accumulate earned but unused sick pay benefits. Upon termination, sick pay is paid out, between 0 - 100 % based on length of service. The City's vacation policy is that earned vacation is cumulative although limited to certain maximums based on length of service. Accumulated compensated absences are recorded in the government -wide and proprietary fund financial statements when earned. Expenditures for accumulated compensated absences have been recorded in the governmental funds only if they have matured, (e.g., resulting from employee resignations and retirements). Payments are generally paid out of the General Fund. 8. Long -term obligations - In the government -wide financial statements and proprietary fund types in the fund financial statements, long -term debt and other long -term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable governmental activities, business -type activities or proprietary fund type statement of net position. Bond premiums, and discounts are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the straight line method, which approximates the effective interest method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable premiums and discounts. In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. 9a CITY OF AVENTURA, FLORIDA NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2013 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Net position - Net position in the government -wide and proprietary funds are categorized as net investment in capital assets; restricted or unrestricted. Net investment in capital assets, is the difference between the cost of capital assets, less accumulated depreciation reduced by the outstanding balances of any borrowings used for the acquisition, construction or improvement of those assets. Restricted consists of net position with constraints placed on their use by external parties (creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments) or imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. Unrestricted indicates that portion of net position that is available to fund future operations. Sometimes the government will fund outlays for a particular purpose from both restricted (e.g., restricted bond or grant proceeds) and unrestricted resources. In order to calculate the amounts to report as restricted - net position and unrestricted - net position in the government -wide and proprietary fund financial statements, a flow assumption must be made about the order in which the resources are considered to be applied. It is the government's policy to consider restricted - net position to have been depleted before unrestricted - net position is applied. 10. Fund balance The City follows GASB Statement No. 54, Fund Balance Reporting and Governmental Fund Type Definitions which requires that governmental fund financial statements present fund balances based on classifications that comprise a hierarchy that is based primarily on the extent to which the City is bound to honor constraints on the specific purposes for which amounts in the respective governmental funds can be spent. The classifications used in the governmental fund financial statements are as follows: Nonspendable: This classification includes amounts that cannot be spent because they are either (a) not in spendable form or (b) are legally or contractually required to be maintained intact. "Not in spendable form" includes items that are not expected to be converted to cash (such as inventories and prepaid amounts) and items such as long -term amount of loans and notes receivable, as well as property acquired for resale. The corpus (or principal) of a permanent fund is an example of an amount that is legally or contractually required to be maintained intact. In fiscal year 2013, this represents $ 285,056. Restricted: This classification includes amounts for which constraints have been placed on the use of the resources either (a) externally imposed by creditors (such as through a debt covenant), grantors, contributors, or laws or regulations of other governments, or (b) imposed by law through constitutional provisions or enabling legislation. In fiscal year 2013, this represents $ 2,910,452. Committed: This classification includes amounts that can be used only for the specific purposes determined by a formal action of the government's highest level of decision making. The City Commission is the highest level of decision - making authority for the government that can, by adoption of an ordinance prior to the end of the fiscal year, commit fund balance. Once adopted, the limitation imposed by the ordinance remains in place until a similar action is taken (the adoption of another ordinance) to remove or revise the limitation. Resources accumulated pursuant to stabilization arrangements are reported in this category. In fiscal year 2013, this represents $ 19,773,488. 31 CITY OF AVENTURA, FLORIDA NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2013 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) Assigned: This classification includes amounts that are constrained by the City's intent to be used for a specific purpose but are neither restricted nor committed. The City Commission has by resolution authorized the City Manager to assign fund balance. The City Commission may also assign fund balance as it does when appropriating fund balance to cover a gap between estimated revenue and appropriations in the subsequent year's budget. Unlike commitments, assignments generally can only exist temporarily. In other words, an additional action does not normally have to be taken for the removal of an assignment. Conversely, as discussed above, an additional action is essential to either remove or revise a commitment. In fiscal year 2013, this represents $ 4,148,453. In the general fund, assigned fund balance for subsequent year's budget is comprised of $ 245,945 and $ 1,749,207 representing the appropriation of a portion of existing fund balance in the 2014 budget and outstanding encumbrances, respectively. Unassigned: This classification includes the residual fund balance for the General Fund. This classification represents fund balance that has not been assigned to other funds and that has not been restricted, committed, or assigned to specific purposes within the General Fund. Unassigned fund balance may also include negative balances for any governmental fund if expenditures exceed amounts restricted, committed or assigned for those specific purposes. In fiscal year 2013, this represents $ 14,459,667. The City uses restricted amounts to be spent first when both restricted and unrestricted fund balance is available unless there are legal documents /contracts that prohibit doing this, such as in grant agreements requiring dollar for dollar spending. Additionally, the City would first use committed fund balance, followed by assigned fund balance and then unassigned fund balance when expenditures are incurred for purposes for which amounts in any of the unrestricted fund balance classifications could be used. 11. Minimum Fund Balance Policy and Hurricane /Emergency and Disaster Recovery Reserve - The City's policy is to maintain an adequate General Fund balance to meet seasonal shortfalls in cash flow and reduce susceptibility to emergency and unanticipated expenditures and /or revenue shortfalls. The City's Commission has adopted a financial standard to maintain a Hurricane /Emergency and Disaster Recovery's Operating Reserve at a minimum level of $ 5,000,000 and a Fiscal Stability Reserve of 10% of the annual General Fund revenue. 12. Encumbrances - Encumbrance accounting, under which purchase orders, contracts and other commitments for the expenditure of funds are recorded in order to reserve that portion of the applicable appropriation, is employed as an extension of formal budgetary integration. Encumbrances are recorded at the time a purchase order or other commitment is entered into. Encumbrances outstanding at year -end represent the estimated amount of expenditures which would result if unperformed purchase orders and other commitments at year -end are completed. Encumbrances lapse at year -end; however, the City generally intends to honor purchase orders and other commitments in process. As a result, encumbrances outstanding at year -end are re- appropriated in the next fiscal year and are therefore presented as committed or assigned fund balance for the subsequent year. 32 CITY OF AVENTURA, FLORIDA NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2013 NOTE 1 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued) 13. Use of estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect certain reported amounts and disclosures. Accordingly, actual results could differ from those estimates. 14. Date of management review - Subsequent events were evaluated by management through February 12, 2014, which is the date the financial statements were available to be issued. NOTE 2 - PROPERTY TAXES Property taxes are assessed as of January 1 each year and are first billed (levied) and due the following November 1. Under Florida law, the assessment of all properties and the collection of all county, municipal, school board and special district property taxes are consolidated in the Offices of the County Property Appraiser and County Tax Collector. The laws for the State regulating tax assessments are also designed to assure a consistent property valuation method statewide. State statutes permit municipalities to levy property taxes at a rate of up to 10 mills ($ 10 per $ 1,000 of assessed taxable valuation). The millage rate assessed by the City for the year ended September 30, 2013 was 1.7261 mills. The City's tax levy is established by the City Commission prior to October 1 of each year, and the County Property Appraiser incorporates the millage into the total tax levy, which includes Miami -Dade County, Miami -Dade County School Board and certain other special taxing districts. All property is reassessed according to its fair market value as of January 1 each year. Each assessment roll is submitted to the Executive Director of the Florida Department of Revenue for review to determine if the assessment rolls meet all of the appropriate requirements of State Statutes. All real and tangible personal property taxes are due and payable on November 1 each year or as soon as practicable thereafter as the assessment roll is certified by the County Property Appraiser. Miami -Dade County mails each property owner on the assessment roll a notice of the taxes due and collects the taxes for the City. Taxes may be paid upon receipt of the notice from Miami -Dade County, with discounts at the rate of 4% if paid in the month of November, 3% if paid in the month of December, 2 % if paid in the month of January and 1 % if paid in the month of February. Taxes paid during the month of March are without discount, and all unpaid taxes on real and tangible personal property become delinquent and liens are placed on April 1 of the year following the year in which the taxes were assessed. Procedures for the collection of delinquent taxes by Miami -Dade County are provided for in the laws of Florida. There were no material delinquent property taxes as of September 30, 2013. 33 CITY OF AVENTURA, FLORIDA NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2013 NOTE 3 - DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS Deposits The City's custodial credit risk policy is in accordance with Florida Statutes. Florida Statutes authorize the deposit of City funds in demand deposits or time deposits of financial institutions approved by the State Treasurer. These are defined as public deposits. All City public deposits are held in qualified public depositories pursuant to Chapter 280, Florida Statutes, "Florida Security for Public Deposits Act. " Under the act, all qualified public depositories are required to pledge eligible collateral having a market value equal to or greater than the average daily or monthly balance of all public deposits times the depository's collateral pledging level. The collateral pledging level may range from 50% to 125% depending upon the depository's financial condition and the length of time that the depository has been established. All collateral must be deposited with the State Treasurer. Any losses to public depositors resulting from insolvency are covered by applicable deposit insurance, sale of securities pledged as collateral and, if necessary, assessment against other qualified public depositories of the same type as the depository in default. The City's bank balances were insured either by the Federal depository insurance corporation or collateralized in the bank's participation in the Florida Security for Public Deposits Act. The Florida SBA Pool is not a registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission ( "SEC "); however, its board has adopted operating procedures consistent with the requirements for a 2a -7 fund. The SBA investments are allocated among two funds, Fund A and Fund B (hereinafter referred to as "Florida PRIME" and "LGIP -B "). For the Florida PRIME, a 20-like pool, the value of the City's position is the same as the value of the pool shares and is recorded at amortized cost. At September 30, 2013, the City's investment in the Florida PRIME was that of $ 17,316,434. In accordance with these requirements, the method used to determine the participants' shares sold and redeemed is the amortized cost method. The amortized cost method is the same method used to report investments. Amortized cost includes accrued income and is a method of calculating an investment's value by adjusting its acquisition cost for the amortization of discount or premium over the period from purchase to maturity. Thus, the City's account balance in the SBA is its amortized cost. The LGIP -B pool is accounted for as a fluctuating net asset value "NAV." The balance of the City's investment in LGIP -B at year end amounted to $ 40,017, with a net asset value factor of 1.13262284. The SBA is governed by Chapter 19 -7 of the Florida Administrative Code. These rules provide guidance and establish the general operating procedures for the administration of the SBA. Additionally, the Office of the Auditor General of the State of Florida performs the operational audit of the activities and investment of the SBA. The SBA accounts are not subject to custodial credit risk as these investments are not evidenced by securities that exist in physical or bank entry form. Investments: On June 2, 2009 and on November 1, 2011, the City adopted and re- adopted, respectively, Chapter 6.6 of the Administrative Policy and Directives and Procedures Manual, entitled "Investments Objective and Parameters," as the City's Investment Policy for the management of Public Funds ( "the policy "). The policy was created in accordance with Section 218.415, Florida Statutes. The policy applies to all investments held and controlled by the City, with the exception of the Police Officers' Pension Plan and its debt issuance where there are other existing policies or indentures in effect for the investment of related funds. ffjA CITY OF AVENTURA, FLORIDA NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2013 NOTE 3 - DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS (continued) The City's policy for investments other than pension plan and debt issuance is summarized herein. The Finance Director has responsibility for the type of investments the City snakes. The investment policy establishes permitted investments, asset allocation, issuer limits, credit rating requirements and maturity limits to protect the City's assets. All investment securities are held by a Trust custodian, and are managed by financial advisors. In general, the City's policy allows to invest, in the following: (1) securities and obligations of the United States and its agencies; (2) nonnegotiable interest bearing time deposits or savings accounts provided that such deposits are secured by collateral as prescribed by the Florida Security for Public Deposits Act, Chapter 280, Florida Statutes; (3) repurchase agreements collateralized by full or general faith and credit obligations of the U. S. Government or Agency securities; (4) the Florida Local Government Surplus Funds Trust Fund "SBA "; (5) intergovernmental investment pools authorized pursuant to the Florida Interlocal Cooperation Act, provided by Section 163.01, Florida Statutes, and provided that such funds contain no derivatives; (6) money market mutual funds - registered investment companies with the highest credit quality rating; (7) commercial paper of any U.S. company; (8) corporate notes; and (9) taxable /tax - exempt municipal bonds. The City policy for pension investments is under the oversight of the Plan's Board of Trustees (the "Board "). The Board contracts with investment advisory firms and approves any new investment vehicles presented by the consultants. The Board follows all applicable state statutes. The City has a Guaranteed Investment Contract ("GIC") that is not subject to interest rate risk classification because it is a direct contractual investment and is not a security. The GIC also is not rated for credit risk classification purposes. The GIC provides for a guaranteed return on investments over a specific period of time at a rate of 5.04% per annum. The collateral value of the GIC as of September 30, 2013 is $ 526,276 and is expected to continue to be sufficient to meet the reserve fund requirement for the Series 2000 Revenue Bond of a minimum of $ 500,000. The GIC is recorded at the contract amount which is $ 500,657. As of September 30, 2013, the City's cash, cash equivalents and investments consisted of the following: Cash and cash equivalents and investments: State Board of Administration - SBA, Florida PRIME Deposits with financial institutions U.S. Treasury bills U.S. Government obligations Asset backed securities Corporate bonds Municipal obligations Commercial paper Guarenteed investment contract Collateralized mortgage obligations Money market funds Mortgage- backed securitires State Board of Administation -Fund B Petty Cash 35 $ 17,316,434 12, 606, 501 6,475,177 4,684,017 1,413,951 1,023,431 880,952 699,586 500,657 335,955 80,916 70,402 40,017 2.455 46,130,451 CITY OF AVENTURA, FLORIDA NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2013 NOTE 3 - DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS (continued) Fiduciary fund investments: Common stocks, net of options and futures 15,434,555 U.S. Government securities 3,758,394 Corporate bonds 2,842,839 Money market funds 1,547,175 Real estate 1,073,317 24,656,280 $ 70,786,731 Cash, cash equivalents and investments are classified in the accompanying financial statements as follows: Statement of Net Position: Cash, cash equivalents and investments $ 45,629,794 Restricted cash, cash equivalents and investments 500,657 46,130,451 Statement of Net Position - Fiduciary Fund: Common stocks, net of options and futures 15,434,555 U.S. Government securities 3,758,394 Corporate bonds 2,842,839 Money market funds 1,547,175 Real estate 1,073,317 24,656,280 $ 70,786,731 Interest rate risk - The City's policy is to limit its exposure to fair value losses arising from changes in interest rates by structuring the investment portfolio so that securities mature to meet cash requirements for ongoing operations, thereby avoiding the need to sell securities on the open market prior to maturity, and investing operating funds primarily in shorter -term securities, money market mutual funds or similar investment pools. This is the risk that changes in market interest rates will adversely affect the fair value of an investment. Generally, the longer the maturity of an investment, the greater the sensitivity of its fair value to changes in market interest rates. The City's policy is that unless matched with specific cash flow, the City will not directly invest in securities maturing more than seven (7) years from the date of purchase. Because of inherent difficulties in accurately forecasting cash flow requirements, a portion of the portfolio should be continuously invested in readily available funds to ensure that proper liquidity is maintained to meet ongoing obligations. The City does not have a formal investment policy for its pension funds that limits investment maturities as a means of managing its exposure to fair value losses arising from increasing interest rates. 9 CITY OF AVENTURA, FLORIDA NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2013 NOTE 3 - DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS (continued) Information about the exposure of the City's debt -type investments to this risk using the segmented time distribution model is as follows: Time to Maturity (in Years) Greater Summary of Investments Fair Less Than 1 -5 6 -10 Than and Interest Rate Risk Value 1 Year Years Years 10 Years City Investments: State Board of Administration - SBA.

This is measured by assignment of a rating by a nationally - recognized rating organization. The City's investment policy provides strict guidelines and limits investments to highly rated securities with minimum ratings of AAA /Aaa (long term securities), A -1 /P -1 (short term securities), and AAAm (money market mutual funds). The Finance Director shall determine the appropriate action for any investment held that is downgraded below the minimum rating by one or more rating agencies. The pension fund limits its credit risk by limiting its fixed income investments to securities with the top (4) ratings issued by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations. 37 CITY OF AVENTURA, FLORIDA NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2013 NOTE 3 - DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS (continued) U.S. government securities or obligations explicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government are not considered to have credit risk exposure. Investments in the LGIP -B, certain money market funds, certain U.S. government obligations and certain corporate bonds are not rated. The City's and fiduciary fund's portfolio is rated by Standard & Poor's and Moody's Investor Services, respectively, as follows: Rating Fair Value City Investments: AAA $ 1,794,157 AAAm 17,397,350 AA+ 11,731,304 AA 617,459 AA- 335,972 A -1 + 299,987 A -1 599,607 Not Rated 245,002 33,020,838 Fiduciary Fund: Al 824,245 A2 1,250,645 A3 355,864 Aa3 412,085 Not rated 5,305,569 8,148,408 $ 41,169,246 Concentration - The City's policy is to maintain a diversified portfolio to minimize the risk of loss resulting from concentration of assets in a specific issuer. Specific limits have been established which limit the percentage of portfolio assets that can be invested with a specific issuer. GASB Statement No. 40, Deposit and Investment Risk Disclosures, requires disclosure when the percentage is 5 % or more in any one issuer. Investments issued or explicitly guaranteed by the U.S. government and investments in mutual funds external investments pools, or other pooled investments are excluded from this requirement. At September 30, 2013, the City had investments in the Federal National Mortgage Association (Fannie Mae) amounting to 6.70% of the total investments held by the City. The pension fund limits investments that may be invested in any one issuer to no more than 5% of plan's net position, other than those issued by the U.S. Government or its Agencies. More than 5 % of the plan's net position is invested in debt securities issued by the U. S. Treasury. The U. S. Treasury investments represented 11.79% of Plan's Net Position. Given the restriction to the highest rating, this concentration is not viewed to be an additional risk to the City. Custodial credit risk - For an investment, custodial credit risk is the risk that, in the event of the failure of the counterparty (e.g., broker - dealer) to a transaction, a government will not be able to recover the value of its investment or collateral securities that are in the possession of another party. The City's investment policy requires securities, with the exception of certificates of deposit, to be registered in the City's name and held with a third party custodian. 9M CITY OF AVENTURA, FLORIDA NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2013 NOTE 3 - DEPOSITS AND INVESTMENTS (continued) Foreign credit risk - For an investment, foreign credit risk is the risk that fluctuations in currency exchange rates may affect transactions conducted in currencies other than U.S. dollars and the carrying value of foreign investments. The City is not exposed to foreign credit risk. The pension fund's investments include American Depository Receipts ( "ADRs "), which are non -U.S. equity issued in U.S. dollars and have no foreign credit risk.

It is management's opinion, based on the advice of the City Attorney, that the outcome of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on the financial statements of the City. Management also believes that the litigation against the City will be covered by insurance. Government grants: Revenue recognized from grants may be subject to audit by the grantor agencies. In the opinion of City management, as a result of such audits, disallowances of grant revenues, if any, would not have a material adverse effect on the City's financial condition. Employment agreement: The City has an employment contract with its City Manager that provides for an annual salary, adjusted for cost -of- living increases and certain benefits. This agreement is effective for an indefinite term subject to termination of the City Manager by the City Commission in accordance with Article III, Section 3.08 of the City Charter. The City Manager must provide two (2) months advance written notice to resign voluntarily. 43 CITY OF AVENTURA, FLORIDA NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2013 NOTE 8 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (continued) Charter school agreements: The City has a contract with the School Board of Miami -Dade County, Florida, that allows for Aventura City of Excellence School to provide the residents of the City of Aventura an elementary and middle school education choice. In 2012, the City Commission acting in their capacity as the School's Governing Board, signed their third contract amendment with the County to increase the School's capacity from 972 to 1032 students over five years, commencing with the school year 2012/2013. The contract ends on June 30, 2018 but provides for a renewal of up to 15 years by mutual agreement of both parties. The City previously entered into an agreement with Charter School USA, Inc. ( "CSUSA ") to provide administrative and educational services for the City's charter school. The agreement expired on June 30, 2013 and both parties agreed to a five -year renewal term through June 30, 2018. The renewed agreement provides for an additional renewal term of up to five years upon agreement of both parties and provided the Miami -Dade County School Board extends the charter granted to the City. Other agreements: The City has a three -year nonexclusive agreement with an engineering consulting firm (the "Consultant ") to provide building inspections and plan review services. Pursuant to the agreement, the Consultant receives 70% of the gross building permit fee revenues for the first $ 50,000 in fees in a month and 65% of the amount in excess of $ 50,000 per month. However, the Consultant receives 35 % of the permit fee for all projects owned, paid for and to be operated by the City. The agreement may be renewed for one additional three -year term. Pension funding: Economic developments surrounding the overall market - liquidity, credit availability and market collateral levels may result in declines in the value of the investment securities held by the Police Officers' Retirement Plan. Consequently, the City's required contribution amount to the Plan, which is necessary to maintain the actuarial soundness and to provide the level of assets sufficient to meet participant benefits, could significantly increase in future periods. It is management's opinion that future contributions to the Plan will not have a material adverse effect on the City's financial position. Construction agreements: The City has entered into various agreements in reference to the construction and maintenance of the City streets and other infrastructure projects. At year -end, outstanding construction commitments amounted to approximately $ 110,000. NOTE 9 - RISK MANAGEMENT The City is exposed to various risks of loss related to torts, thefts of, damage to and destruction of assets, errors and omissions, employee health, workers' compensation and natural disasters for which the City carries commercial insurance. Settlement amounts have not exceeded insurance coverage for any of the past three (3) fiscal years. In addition, there were no reductions in insurance coverage from those in the prior year. .. CITY OF AVENTURA, FLORIDA NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2013 NOTE 10 - OTHER POST - EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS The City had previously implemented the Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 45, Accounting and Reporting by Employers for Postemployment Benefits Other Than Pension (OPEB), for certain postemployment health care benefits provided by the City. As of October 1, 2013, the latest actuarial valuation, health care and dental plan participants consisted of: Active Plan participants Retiree Plan participants Plan Description: 165 2 167 Pursuant to Section 112.0801, Florida Statutes, the City is required to permit participation in the health insurance program to retirees and their eligible dependents at a cost to the retiree that is no greater than the cost at which coverage is available for active employees. Other than certain department directors, retirees must pay a monthly premium as determined by the insurance carrier. Retirees pay 100% of the blended equivalent premium rates. The blended rates provide an implicit subsidy for retirees because, on an actuarial basis, their current and future claims are expected to result in higher costs to the plan on average than those of active employees. Pursuant to Resolution 2006 -64; department directors who retire at age 55 or later with at least 10 years of service are not required to pay a premium for medical or dental coverage for themselves prior to age 65. For these individuals, there is an explicit subsidy where the City provides for the retiree's coverage. The plan described above is currently offered by the City under a "single employer plan" structure. The City provides all financial information and required disclosures of its other post- employment benefit plan in this document; therefore, a separate audited post - employment benefits plan report is not available. Funding Policy: The City is funding the post- employment benefits on a pay -as- you -go basis. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013, the annual required contribution was $ 116,000. The City made estimated explicit and implicit contributions of $ 43,000 towards this amount. Retirees contributed approximately $ 48,000 towards the cost of these benefits, for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2013. At September 30, 2013 the City recorded a net OPEB obligation of $ 263,000 for governmental activities, in its government -wide statement of net position. Annual OPEB Cost and Net OPEB Obligation: The annual other postemployment benefit (OPEB) cost (expense) is calculated based on the annual required contribution (ARC), an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement No. 45. The ARC represents a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover the normal cost each year and amortize any unfunded actuarial liability over a period not to exceed 30 years. The following table shows the components of the City's annual OPEB cost for the year, the amount actually contributed, and the changes in the net OPEB obligation.

An analysis of funding progress (the last plan year valuation date) is as follows: Methods and Assumptions: Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan as understood by the employer and the plan members) and include the types of benefits provided at the time of each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing of benefit costs between the employer and plan members to that point.

M CITY OF AVENTURA, FLORIDA NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2013 NOTE 10 - OTHER POST - EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (continued) In the October 1, 2013 actuarial valuation, the projected unit credit cost method was used. The annual required contribution (ARC) reflects a 12 -year open period, level dollar payment amortization of the unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL). The actuarial assumptions included a 4.0% investment rate of return. The following assumptions were made: Eligibility: For police officers, retirement was assumed to occur at the earlier of any age with at least 25 years of service or at age 55 with at least six (6) years of service; for all other employees eligibility was assumed to occur at the earlier of any age with at least 30 years of service or at age 62 with at least six (6) years of service. Mortality: Sex - distinct mortality rates set forth in the RP -2000 mortality table for annuitants and non - annuitants, projected to 2013 by Scale AA, as published by the IRS for purposes of IRC section 430. Disability: Sex - distinct disability rates set forth in the Wyatt 1985 Disability Study; class 4 rates were used for police officers and class 1 rates were used for all other employees. Permanent Withdrawal from Active Status: Sex - distinct withdrawal rates set forth in Scale 155 table. Investment Rate of Return: A discount rate of 4.00% per annum (includes inflation at 2.50% per annum) . Healthcare Cost Trend Rate: The cost of covered medical services has been assumed to increase in accordance with the following rates, compounded annually: 2012/2013 7.50% 2013/2014 7.00% 2014/2015 6.50% 2015/2016 6,00% 2016/2017 5.50% 2017/2018 and later 5.00% With respect to the fully subsidized dental insurance, the assumed dental costs increase at the rate of 3.00% per year 47 CITY OF AVENTURA, FLORIDA NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2013 NOTE 10 - OTHER POST - EMPLOYMENT BENEFITS (continued) Implied Subsidy (Medical Insurance): The implied subsidy for a 62 -year old retiree is assumed to be $ 6,300 per year for each the retiree and the retiree's spouse. Implied Subsidy (Dental Insurance): There is no implied subsidy for the dental insurance since we have assumed that the premium charged for the covered individuals does not increase with age. Age - Related Morbidity: The cost of the medical services has been assumed to increase with age at the rate of 3.50% per annum. Retiree Contributions: Other than eligible department directors, retirees electing post - employment healthcare coverage have been assumed to make monthly contributions equal to the premium charged to active employees. Eligible department directors have been assumed to make the required contribution for healthcare coverage for their spouses. Cost- of- LivinL) Increase: Retiree contributions have been assumed to increase in accordance with the healthcare cost trend assumption. Future Participation Rates: Other than eligible department directors, 5 % of eligible employees were assumed to elect coverage until age 65 upon retirement or disability; 100% of department directors who are eligible for the explicit subsidy from the City were assumed to elect coverage until age 65. Marriage and Dependent Assumption: 80% of males and 50% of females are assumed to elect coverage at retirement for themselves and their spouses, with husbands assumed to be three (3) years older than their wives; active employees were not assumed to have any dependent children upon retirement or disability. COBRA Assumption: Future healthcare coverage provided solely pursuant to COBRA was not included in the OPEB valuation; because the COBRA premium is determined periodically based on plan experience, it is assumed that the COBRA premium to be paid by the participant fully covers the cost of providing healthcare coverage during the relevant period. CITY OF AVENTURA, FLORIDA NOTES TO BASIC FINANCIAL STATEMENTS September 30, 2013 NOTE 11 - DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PENSION PLANS The City is a single - employer that contributes to four (4) defined contribution pension plans based on employee classification created in accordance with Internal Revenue Code Section 401(a).

Our report includes a reference to other auditors who audited the financial statements of the City of Aventura Police Officers' Retirement Plan Pension Trust Fund, as described in our report on the City's financial statements. This report does not include the results of the other auditor's testing of internal control over financial reporting or compliance and other matters that are reported on separately by those auditors. Internal Control over Financial Reporting In planning and performing our audit of the financial statements, we considered the City's internal control over financial reporting (internal control) to determine the audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinions on the financial statements, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control. A deficiency in internal control exists when the design or operation of a control does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent or detect and correct misstatements on a timely basis. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies in internal control such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the entity's financial statements will not be prevented, or detected and corrected on a timely basis. A significant deficiency is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control that is less severe than a material weakness, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. Our consideration of internal control was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might be material weaknesses or, significant deficiencies. Given these limitations, during our audit we did not identify any deficiencies in internal control that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified. 6550 N. Federal Highway 1b Suite 410 = Fort Lauderdale, FL 33308 '1 954.771.0896 -- 954.938.9353 (F) - www.kmccpa.com 95 City of Aventura, Florida Compliance and Other Matters As part of obtaining reasonable assurance about whether the City's financial statements are free of material misstatement, we performed tests of its compliance with certain provisions of laws, regulations, contracts and grant agreements, noncompliance with which could have a direct and material effect on the determination of financial statement amounts. However, providing an opinion on compliance with those provisions was not an objective of our audit and, accordingly, we do not express such an opinion. The results of our tests disclosed no instances of noncompliance or other matters that are required to be reported under Government Auditing Standards. Purpose of this Report The purpose of this report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control and compliance and the results of that testing, and not to provide an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the entity's internal control and compliance. Accordingly, this communication is not suitable for any other purpose.

The City's major Federal programs are identified in the summary of auditor's results section of the accompanying schedule of findings and questioned costs. Management's Responsibility Management is responsible for compliance with the requirements of laws, regulations, contracts, and grants applicable to its Federal programs. Auditor's Responsibility Our responsibility is to express an opinion on compliance for each of the City's major Federal programs based on our audit of the types of compliance requirements referred to above. We conducted our audit of compliance in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America; the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States; and OMB Circular A- 133, Audits of States, Local Governments, and Non -Profit Organizations. Those standards and OMB Circular A -133 require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether noncompliance with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on a major Federal program occurred. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence about the City's compliance with those requirements and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion on compliance for each major Federal program. However, our audit does not provide a legal determination of the City's compliance. Opinion on Each Major Federal Program In our opinion, the City complied, in all material respects, with the types of compliance requirements referred to above that could have a direct and material effect on each of its major Federal programs for the year ended September 30, 2013. 6550 N.

In planning and performing our audit of compliance, we considered the City's internal control over compliance with the types of requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each major Federal program to determine the auditing procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances for the purpose of expressing our opinion on compliance for each major Federal program and to test and report on internal control over compliance in accordance with OMB Circular A -133, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of internal control over compliance. Accordingly, we do not express an opinion on the effectiveness of the City's internal control over compliance. A deficiency in internal control over compliance exists when the design or operation of a control over compliance does not allow management or employees, in the normal course of performing their assigned functions, to prevent, or detect and correct, noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a Federal program on a timely basis. A material weakness in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance, such that there is a reasonable possibility that material noncompliance with a type of compliance requirement of a Federal program will not be prevented, or detected and corrected, on a timely basis. A significant deficiency in internal control over compliance is a deficiency, or a combination of deficiencies, in internal control over compliance with a type of compliance requirement of a Federal program and /or state project that is less severe than a material weakness in internal control over compliance, yet important enough to merit attention by those charged with governance. Our consideration of internal control over compliance was for the limited purpose described in the first paragraph of this section and was not designed to identify all deficiencies in internal control that might material weaknesses or significant deficiencies. We did not identify any deficiencies in internal control over compliance that we consider to be material weaknesses. However, material weaknesses may exist that have not been identified. Purpose of this Report The purpose of this report on internal control over compliance is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over compliance and the results of that testing based on the requirements of OMB Circular A -133.

SUSAN GOTTLIEB, MAYOR ATTEST: TERESA M. SOROKA, MMC CITY CLERK APPROVED AS TO LEGAL SUFFICIENCY: CITY ATTORNEY CITY OF AVENTURA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM TO: City Commission FROM: Eric M. Soroka, IC -C City Manager BY: Joanne Carr, AICP Community Developmen irector DATE: February 13, 2014 SUBJECT: Request of Pollo Tropical for Sign Variance 20403 Biscayne Boulevard (01- SV -14) March 4, 2014 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item 6 RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Commission approve the request for a second wall sign measuring 23.36 square feet to be located on the west elevation of the proposed Pollo Tropical building at 20403 Biscayne Boulevard, in the Promenade Shops Plaza. THE REQUEST The applicant, Corporate Property Services Inc., is requesting variance from Section 31- 1910)(2)a. of the City Code to permit a second wall sign on a one - story freestanding restaurant building in the Promenade Shops Plaza at 20403 Biscayne Boulevard, where one wall sign is permitted by Code. (See Exhibit #1 for Letter of Intent) BACKGROUND OWNER OF PROPERTY Promventure Limited Partnership LOCATION OF PROPERTY 20403 Biscayne Boulevard (see Exhibit #2 for Location Map and Exhibit #3 for Detail of Restaurant Location) LEGAL DESCRIPTION ZONING Subject property: Property to the North Property to the South Property to the East: Property to the West: EXISTING LAND USE Subject property: Property to the North: Property to the South Property to the East: Property to the West Part of Tract A & B, The Promenade Shops, as recorded in Plat Book 133, Page 39 Public Records of Miami -Dade County B2, Community Business District OP, Office Park District RMF3, Multifamily Medium Density Residential District TC3, Town Center Neighborhood District and CF, Community Facilities District MO, Medical Office District Commercial Plaza Office Park Multifamily Residential Aventura Turnberry Jewish Center and Vacant Land Commercial Plazas and Bank FUTURE LAND USE — According to the City of Aventura Comprehensive Plan, the following properties are currently designated as follows: Subject property: Business and Office Property to the North: Business and Office Property to the South: Medium -High Density Residential Property to the East: Business and Office Property to the West: Business and Office The Site - The subject site lies within the Promenade Shops Plaza on the east side of Biscayne Boulevard. The specific site is the former one -story freestanding Burger King restaurant building in the southwesterly portion of the plaza. The Project — The applicant is proposing to demolish the existing one -story, 2972 square foot building and to construct a new one- story,3505 square foot for a Pollo Tropical restaurant with drive through facility, new parking area and landscaping. Administrative site plan approval for the development was issued on February 12, 2014. The applicant has submitted a sign package for the new restaurant and is requesting two wall signs; one sign over the entrance door on the east elevation of the building, interior to the plaza, and one on the west elevation of the building facing Biscayne Boulevard. 2 The sign package, showing location and detail of the two requested wall signs, is attached as Exhibit #4. The new restaurant has 49 feet 6 inches of building frontage. Our City's Sign Code permits one channel letter or reverse channel letter wall sign measuring a maximum of 49.5 square feet. The applicant is proposing a 47.00 square foot channel letter wall sign on the front (east) elevation of the building facing the interior of the plaza and requests sign variance approval for a 23.36 square foot channel letter wall sign on the rear (west) elevation of the building facing Biscayne Boulevard. The east elevation sign will provide direction to the restaurant for traffic inside the plaza, but is visible only from the interior of the plaza. The second sign is requested to provide direction for traffic on Biscayne Boulevard. Citizen Comments - As of the date of writing of this report, the Community Development Department has not received any written or verbal citizen comments. ANALYSIS Section 31- 1910)(2)a. of the City Code regulates wall signs on retail buildings. One wall sign per building is permitted, except two wall signs may be permitted for corner or through locations. This is not a corner or through location. The maximum size of the sign is one square foot for each one lineal foot of building frontage. This building has a frontage of 49.5 lineal feet; therefore, one wall sign at 49.5 square feet is permitted by Code. The applicant is requesting sign variance approval for a second wall sign measuring 23.36 square feet. The criteria for approval of sign variances are set out in Section 31- 1910)(8) of the City of Aventura Land Development Regulations, as follows: "The Sign Variance maintains the basic intent and purpose of these regulations, particularly as it affects the stability and appearance of the City and provided that the variance will be otherwise compatible with the surrounding land uses and would not be detrimental to the community. No showing of unnecessary hardship to the land is required. " This request does maintain the basic intent and purpose of the City's sign regulation. It does preserve or enhance the unique character of the City, it is compatible with the surrounding land uses and it will properly index the environment by providing direction to the restaurant for traffic on Biscayne Boulevard. 3 CORPORATE PROPERTY SERVICES, INC. 1 289 E. NEWPORT CENTER DRIVE • SUITE 1 13 • DEERFIELD BEACH, FLORIDA 38442 January 14, 2014 Ms. Joanne Carr Community Development Director City of Aventura 19200 West Country Club Drive Aventura, FL 33180 RE: Letter of Intent Polio Tropical 20403 Biscayne Boulevard Aventura, Florida Dear Ms. Carr: Pollo Tropical is proposing to demolish the existing 2,972 square foot Burger King restaurant with a drive -thru and construct a new 3,505 square foot Pollo Tropical restaurant with a drive -thru. The site is currently zoned B -2, Community Business, and has a Commercial Future Land Use Designation. The proposed use is consistent with permitted uses in the B -2 Zoning District and compatible with the Commercial Future Land Use Designation. The restaurant and drive thru use is consistent with the existing commercial uses in the Promenade Shops and will provide a healthy dining option for the residents of Aventura. The project will provide safe onsite circulation and facilitate convenient access while reducing the current visual clutter. The proposed architectural building elevations will create an appealing development pattern, which will improve the aesthetic quality and character of the Biscayne Boulevard corridor in the City of Aventura. The proposed site layout will provide a new ADA compliant, pedestrian connection path to the existing sidewalk adjacent to Biscayne Boulevard, which will be surrounded by landscaping and located in between the existing public sidewalk and the proposed buildings. The project will foster and preserve the public health, safety, comfort and welfare and aid in the harmonious, orderly and progressive development within the Biscayne Boulevard Corridor, as well as the Promenade Shops and in accordance with the Growth Management Plan. Pollo Tropical in order to facilitate the construction of the proposed restaurant is requesting a sign variance from Section 31- 1910)(2a), to allow for an additional wall identification sign. The justification for the request has been included with this submittal. The overall site will be greatly improved in terms of how it functions and visually appears from that which currently exists today and will foster and preserve the public health, safety, comfort and welfare. Thank you for consideration of this application. If you have any questions, please call me.

SOROKA, MMC CITY CLERK APPROVED AS TO LEGAL SUFFICIENCY: CITY ATTORNEY 3 SUSAN GOTTLIEB, MAYOR CITY OF AVENTURA COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM TO: City Commission FROM: Eric M. Soroka, imirector City Manager BY: Joanne Carr, AICommunity Dev DATE: January 30, 2014 SUBJECT: Application to Amend Section 31- 144(c)(5)a. of the Land Development Regulations to add a provision for increased lot coverage for specific uses (01- LDR -14) February 4, 2014 Local Planning Agency Agenda Item _T February 4, 2014 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item Lp March 4, 2014 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item 0 RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Commission approve the request for an amendment to Section 31 -144, "Business Zoning Districts" of the Land Development Regulations to add to that section, a provision for a maximum lot coverage of 45% of the total lot area for parcels that include shopping centers, provided that the shopping center buildings contain more than 1,000,000 square feet of gross leasable area, and do not exceed five stories in height and provide a centralized multi -modal transportation facility which is enclosed with a parking structure. THE REQUEST The owner of the Aventura Mall is proposing an expansion consisting of a three -story, 288,250 square foot addition to the mall structure and a seven -level parking structure. The first level of the parking structure will contain a mass transit terminal which will accommodate City, County and other buses, taxis and other private transit vehicles. In order to build the expansion and parking structure and to accommodate future development on the Mall property, the owner is requesting an amendment to the site development criteria of the B2 zoning district to increase maximum lot coverage from 40% to 45 %. (See Exhibit #1 for Letter of Intent) BACKGROUND After construction of the last expansion of the Aventura Mall for the Nordstrom anchor and retail approach wing, the current lot coverage is 36% of the total lot area. The applicant advises that the current expansion proposal will increase lot coverage to 40.34 %. The applicant further advises that other proposed future development may increase lot coverage up to a maximum of 45 %. The B2 zoning district allows a maximum height of 12 stories or 120 feet. Any expansion of the Aventura Mall could maintain the 40% lot coverage maximum by building vertically. The increased lot coverage is requested to keep the low profile of the shopping center buildings, which are currently four stories at the highest, and to allow for the construction of a new parking structure that will contain a multi -modal transportation facility. Generally, lot coverage maximums are included in development codes to ensure that open space is provided and also to ensure that proper drainage is provided and maintained. Section 31- 144(c) of the Code includes "all buildings on site" in lot coverage calculation. This includes the primary building and any accessory buildings, such as parking structures, but does not include surface parking areas. In the case of an enclosed regional mall, traditional outdoor open space would not be used by the public in this type of commercial environment. What is desirable for public comfort in a regional mall are interior public plazas with seating areas to meet others or to rest, water features, pedestrian corridors that can also function as recreational walking areas and other public amenities such as art displays. This was recognized by the City Commission in 2005 through passage of Ordinance No. 2005 -15, which allows a minimum of 15% open space for regional malls, where up to 40% was required by Code at that time, provided that the aforementioned public amenities are in place. The Aventura Mall is complying with this open space /amenity provision. The consulting engineer for the Aventura Mall has confirmed that an increase of 5% in permitted lot coverage will not affect the ability to provide and maintain proper drainage. The drainage structures and retention ponds are currently functioning as intended. Any development application for expansion will be required to include drainage plans to upgrade and improve, as necessary, any components of the drainage system. Those drainage plans will be reviewed by the City's Consultants as part of the site plan review process. DESCRIPTION OF THE PROPOSED AMENDMENT The proposed amendment to the Community Business (132) District follows in underlined text: "Section 31- 144(c). Community Business (132) District. E C) Community Business (B2) District. This district is intended primarily to provide for general commercial activity for a wide range of goods and services to the entire community and sub region.

The floor area ratio shall not exceed 2.0 for all buildings in this district in conformance with the comprehensive plan. 3. For shopping center buildings with other more than 1,000,000 square feet of gross leasable area that provide public amenities including, but not limited to, public plazas, fountains or other water features, seating areas and recreational walking areas and that do not exceed five stories in height, the minimum landscaped open space shall be 15 percent of the total lot area. Said open space shall be extensively landscaped with grass, trees and shrubbery in accordance with a landscape plan to be approved by the City Manager.

(2) The proposed amendment is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed changes are consistent with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan, specifically the Business and Office designation. (3) The proposed amendment is consistent with the authority and purpose of the LDR. The proposed amendment is consistent with the authority and purpose of the LDRs, as described in Section 31 -2 of the City Code. (4) The proposed amendment furthers the orderly development of the City. The proposed amendment certainly furthers the orderly development of the City. The proposed amendment will permit the continued improvements to the Aventura Mall - one of the City's most important landmark properties and one of the most successful shopping centers in the country. Further, the amendment will permit the development of a multi -modal transportation facility within the mall property which will accommodate City, County and other public and private transportation. Understanding that the mall generates a great deal of visitors from outside of the City, this improvement hopes to encourage more users to use public transportation and alleviate traffic to the Citv. Additionally, the improvement will certainly centralize much of the public transportation and naturally provide traffic and BCRCOW RADGLL & FERNANDEZ ZONING.

EMS /act Attachment CCO1830 -14 CITY OF AVENTURA OFFICE OF THE CITY COMMISSION MEMORANDUM TO: City Commission FROM: Commissioner Enbar Cohen DATE: January 7, 2013 SUBJECT: Proposed Ordinance Regulating the Sale of Dogs and Cats I would like to propose an Ordinance regulating the sale of dogs and cats in the City of Aventura in order to promote community awareness of animal welfare and to encourage pet consumers to adopt dogs and cats from shelters, thereby saving the animals' lives and reducing the cost to the public of sheltering animals. Attached is a sample Ordinance drafted by the City of Pinecrest. Please place this item on the next Workshop Agenda. Thank you. EC /tms ORDINANCE NO. 2014- AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF AVENTURA, FLORIDA; AMENDING CHAPTER 1 "GENERAL PROVISIONS" OF THE CITY CODE OF THE CITY OF AVENTURA BY CREATING SECTION 1 -17, "RETAIL SALE OF DOGS AND CATS "; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR INCLUSION IN THE CODE; PROVIDING FOR PENALTY; PROVIDING FOR EFFECTIVE DATE. WHEREAS, existing state and federal laws regulate dog and cat breeders, as well as pet stores that sell dogs and cats including the Animal Welfare Act ( "AWA ") (7 U.S.C. Section 2131 et seq.); and WHEREAS, the Animal Welfare Act requires, among other things, the licensing of certain breeders of dogs and cats and that these breeders maintain minimum health, safety and welfare standards for animals in their care with enforcement of these requirements by the United States Department of Agriculture ( "USDA "); and WHEREAS, according to The Humane Society of the United States, American consumers purchase dogs and cats from pet stores that the consumers believe to be healthy and genetically sound, but in reality, the animals often face an array of health problems including communicable diseases or genetic disorders that present immediately after sale or that do not surface until several years later, all of which lead to costly veterinary bills and distress to consumers; and WHEREAS, according to The Humane Society of the United States, hundreds of thousands of dogs and cats in the United States have been housed and bred at substandard breeding facilities known as "puppy mills" or "kitten factories," that mass - produce animals for sale to the public; and many of these animals are sold at retail in pet stores, and WHEREAS, according to USDA inspection reports, some additional documented problems found at puppy mills include: (1) sanitation problems leading to infectious disease; (2) large numbers of animals overcrowded in cages; (3) lack of proper veterinary care for severe illnesses and injuries; (4) lack of protection from harsh weather conditions; and (5) lack of adequate food and water; and WHEREAS, while "puppy mill" puppies and "kitten factory" kittens are being sold in pet stores, many dogs and cats are euthanized by Miami -Dade County's Animal Control Services; and Ordinance No. 2014 - Page 2 WHEREAS, across the country, thousands of independent pet stores as well as large chains operate profitably with a business model focused on the sale of pet "` services and supplies and not on the sale of dogs and cats; many of these stores collaborate with local animal sheltering and rescue organizations to offer space and support for showcasing adoptable homeless pets on their premises; and WHEREAS, while the City Commission recognizes that not all dogs and cats retailed in pet stores are products of inhumane breeding conditions and would not classify every commercial breeder selling dogs or cats to pet stores as a "puppy mill" or "kitten factory," it is the City Commission's belief that puppy mills and kitten factories continue to exist in part because of public demand and the sale of dogs and cats in pet stores; and WHEREAS, the City Commission believes that eliminating the retail sale of dogs and cats in pet stores in the City will promote community awareness of animal welfare and, in turn, will foster a more humane environment as well as encourage pet consumers to adopt dogs and cats from shelters, thereby saving animals' lives and reducing the cost to the public of sheltering animals.
