Subject: A Resolution From The City of Aventura to save the lives of our animals and to honor the will
of our people who voted for the Pets' Trust
We would like to have a resolution from the City of Aventura before the upcoming budget sessions for
Miami Dade County.
When we first started the Pets' Trust, we were challenged with educating the community about the
problems our beautiful animals face because of overpopulation and lack of facilities to take care of so
many. The people responded resoundingly with almost 500,000 voters saying... "stop the killing, and we
will pay for it." No place in the United States had ever done this before! We ..... were the first.
It was almost impossible to believe that our Mayor and eight of the commissioners did not honor the
will of the people. So, the members of the Pets' Trust will be back again.... representing the voice of our
animals.
We hope the City of Aventura will stand with us, and stand with the animals .... and create this resolution
which will show your city listens to its people when they vote and want something.
But even more importantly, the animals will know .... they will know that the City of Aventura is a
community of animal lovers .... a love that transcends politics in favor of simply doing the right thing.
Also, please read this great article by Miami's Joe
Cardona..... http://www.Miamiherald.com/ 2014 /03/28/ 4025454 /county- leaders - ignoring -the-
peoples.html These words perfectly explain why we need to give a resounding message to our "county
leaders ".
We look forward to meeting you and working with you to move this forward!

Office of the City Manager
June 2014
The Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Commission
City of Aventura
Aventura, Florida 33180
Enclosed herein is the proposed City of Aventura (the "City ") Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) for the fiscal period October 1, 2014 through
September 30, 2019 and the proposed Capital Budget for the Fiscal period
October 1, 2014 through September 30, 2015.
The primary goal of the CIP is to develop a long —term plan of proposed capital
expenditures, the means and methods of financing, and a schedule of priorities
for implementation. It is important to stress that the CIP is a planning tool to
evaluate infrastructure needs of the City as well as the financial capabilities of the
City. In order to determine the impact of the CIP on the City's future operating
budget, the City Commission and residents will be provided with the benefits of a
CIP document which serves as a point of reference and includes an estimated
long -term budget plan.
At this point in the City's history, the need for major capital improvement funding
has decreased substantially due to a very ambitious schedule of completing
major community facilities and infrastructure projects during the past eighteen
years since the incorporation of the City. This document represents an update of
the CIP that was originally prepared for the five -year cycle of 2013 to 2018. The
update process is important for the CIP to become a continuing and ongoing
planning /implementation process. The last four years of last year's program
were reevaluated in light of unanticipated needs, cost revisions, new project
priorities and the financial condition of the City. In addition, the CIP was updated
to add new projects in the fifth year (2018/19) to complete the cycle. Projects
included within the framework of the program were based on input from
Commissioners, staff, City consultants and citizens.
The following represents the significant revisions or modifications to the
proposed CIP compared to the prior document:
1. Added NE 29th Place street resurfacing, safety, drainage and street
lighting improvements project - $1,808,000.
2. Added Traffic Video Monitoring System upgrade project - $1,800,000
3. Added NE 191St drainage and road Improvements - $900,000.
4. Added seawall repairs to NE 213th street, 183rd Street, NE 188th Street
and NE 190th Street - $4507000.
5. Added NE 187th Street and NE 185th Street resurfacing -$266,000.
6. Added $1,200,000 to retrofit street lighting to more energy efficient LED
fixtures.
7. Replace 4 water fountains around Country Club Drive exercise trail -
$31,000.
The proposed 2014 — 2019 CIP includes 32 projects in five (5) functional
categories with a total value of $16,890,900. The following represents the
percentage of total funding that each functional category has been allocated:
Beautification & Parks Facilities (8 %), Transportation, Drainage and
Infrastructure Improvements (55 %), Capital Equipment Purchase and
Replacement (20 %), Information /Communication Technology (16 %) and Public
Buildings and Facilities Improvements (1%).
Major emphasis was placed on the following projects
Road Resurfacing
$372967000
Stormwater Drainage Improvements
274907000
TVM S Upgrades
178007000
Street Lighting Upgrades
176787000
Park Improvements
173517450
Air Conditioning Unit Replacements
1527000
The document contains a detailed funding plan that forecasts revenues
necessary to fund both the CIP and the operating budgets over the next five (5)
years. The proposed funding plan is based on the assumption that operating
expenditures can be maintained at certain percentage increases and revenues
grow at specified levels. The plan is based on conservative estimates.
am proud of the many accomplishments and the support the City Commission
and residents have shown in the implementation of the capital projects since the
incorporation of the City. Our beautification projects, park and open space
additions, Government Center, Community Recreation Center, Charter School,
Arts & Cultural Center, transportation improvements and many other community
enhancements continue to exhibit our commitment to excellence and
professionalism. This document serves many purposes. Importantly it serves as
an aid to the residents in providing a better understanding of the City's long -term
capital needs and how the City intends to meet these demands. It also details
our continuing effort to address the needs and concerns of our citizens while
making prudent financial decisions which contribute to the City's long -term
financial health.
The preparation and formulation of this document could not have been
accomplished without the dedicated efforts of all Department Directors and their
staff. Their professional efforts have assisted in the preparation of this important
planning program.
request and recommend that you take the following actions regarding the
proposed 2014 - 2019 Capital Improvement Program:
1. Hold a workshop meeting to review the CIP document in June.
2. Transmit copies of the CIP summary document to the public.
3. Hold a public hearing to conceptually adopt the final CIP document,
by resolution, for implementation.
All questions relating to the CIP should be referred to my attention.
Respectfully submitted,
G•

INTRODUCTION
City of Aventura
INTRODUCTION
This section describes what a Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is and the process
for developing the City of Aventura (the "City ") Capital Improvement Program and
Capital Budget. This introduction also explains how to locate a specific project in this
document.
PURPOSE OF THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
The purpose of the CIP is to establish a long term plan of proposed capital
expenditures, the means and methods of financing, and a schedule of priorities for
implementation. In order to determine the impact on the City's operating budget, debt
service and the general trend of future expenditures, the City Commission will be
provided with the advantage of a CIP document as a point of reference and estimated
long -term budget plan. In accordance with the State's Growth Management Act, the
City is required to undergo this process in order to meet the needs of its Comprehensive
Plan.
The CIP is an official statement of public policy regarding long -range capital
development within the City. A capital improvement is defined as a capital expenditure
of $5,000 or more, resulting in the acquisition, improvement or addition to fixed assets in
the form of land, buildings or improvements, more or less permanent in character, and
durable equipment with a life expectancy of more than one (1) year. In addition,
equipment that has a value of $5,000 or less is also included in this document for
budgetary purposes.
The CIP lists proposed capital projects to be undertaken, the year in which they will be
started, the amount expected to be expended in each year and the method of financing
these projects. Based on the CIP, a department's capital outlay portion of the annual
Operating Budget will be formulated for that particular year. The CIP document also
communicates to the citizens, businesses and interested parties the City's capital
priorities and plan for implementing projects.
The five -year CIP is updated annually to add new projects in the fifth year, to re-
evaluate the program and project priorities in light of unanticipated needs, and to revise
recommendations to take account of new requirements and new sources of funding.
Capital Improvement programming thus becomes a continuing part of the City's
budgeting and management procedures.
The annual capital programming process provides the following benefits:
1. The CIP is a tool for implementing the City's Comprehensive Plan.
2. The CIP process provides a mechanism for coordinating among projects
with respect to function, location, and timing.
Capital Improvement Program 2014 -2019 Page 1
City of Aventura
3. The yearly evaluation of project priorities ensures that the most crucial
projects are developed first.
4. The CIP process facilitates long -range financial planning by matching
estimated revenue against capital needs, establishing capital expenditures
and identifying the need for municipal borrowing and indebtedness within
a sound long -range fiscal framework. The sound fiscal policy that results
from this process will have a positive impact on the City's bond rating.
5. The impact of capital projects on the City's operating budget can be
projected.
6. The CIP serves as a source of information about the City's development
and capital expenditures plan for the public, City operating departments
and the City Commission.
LEGAL AUTHORITY
A capital programming process to support the comprehensive plan is required by the
Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulations,
incorporated as Chapter 163, Florida Statues.
DEVELOPMENT OF THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
The City's capital programming process began in January when operating departments
were required to prepare requests for all proposed capital projects anticipated during
the period of 2014 - 2019. A CIP Preparation Manual and related forms were
distributed to all departments for this purpose.
In February, departmental prioritized project requests were submitted to the City
Manager's Office. Department Directors were asked to justify projects in terms of
benefits derived, necessity to health, safety and welfare of the City, enhancement to
City plans and policies, need of residents and funding. Projects were prioritized on the
basis of Urgency, Necessity, Desirability, and Deferability.
The City Manager reviewed departmental requests and conducted individual meetings
with Department Directors. The departmental requests were prioritized and the five -
year schedule of projects was compiled into document form by the City Manager. The
methods of financing and revenue sources were then prepared by the Finance Director
and City Manager and were incorporated into the CIP document. At this point, the
proposed CIP is submitted to the City Commission and public for review.
In order to facilitate public involvement, public hearings and community meetings will be
held to unveil and review the CIP document prior to the adoption of a Resolution
approving the CIP in principle.

City of Aventura
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM POLICIES
1. Annually, the City will prepare a five -year capital improvement program
analyzing all anticipated capital expenditures and identifying associated
funding sources. Future capital expenditures necessitated by changes in
population, changes in development, growth, redevelopment or changes
in economic base will be calculated and included in the Capital update
process.
2. The City will perform all capital improvements in accordance with an
adopted CIP.
3. The classification of items as capital or operating will be determined by
two criteria - cost and frequency. Generally, a capital project has a "useful
life" of more than one (1) year and a value of $5,000 or more. In addition,
equipment that has a value of $5,000 or less is also included in the
document for budgetary purposes.
4. The City will coordinate development of the capital improvement budget
with the development of the operating budget. Future operating costs
associated with new capital improvements will be projected and included
in the operating forecasts.
5. The first year of the five -year capital improvement program will be used as
the basis for formal fiscal year appropriations during the annual budget
process.
6. The City will maintain all of its assets at a level adequate to protect the
City's capital investment and to minimize future maintenance and
replacement costs.
7. The City will identify the estimated cost of capital projects and prepare a
funding projection that considers revenues and operating costs to be
included in the Capital Improvement Program document that is submitted
to the City Commission for approval.
8. The City will determine the most appropriate financing method for all new
projects.
9. If appropriate, the City will attempt to maintain a mixed policy of
pay -as- you -go and borrowing against future revenues for financing capital
projects.
10 The City will maintain ongoing maintenance schedules relating to road,
sidewalk and drainage system improvements.
11. The City will address and prioritize infrastructure needs on the basis of
protecting the health, safety and welfare of the community.
12. A CIP preparation calendar shall be established and adhered to.
13. Capital projects will conform to the City's Comprehensive Plan.
14. Long -term borrowing will not be used to fund current operations or normal
maintenance.
15. The City will strive to maintain an unreserved General Fund Fund Balance
at a level not less than 10% of the annual General Fund revenue.
Capital Improvement Program 2014 -2019 Page 3
City of Aventura
16. If new project appropriation needs are identified at an interim period during
the fiscal year, the funding sources will be identified and mid -year budget
amendments will be utilized to provide formal budgetary authority. In
addition budget amendments may be utilized to increase appropriations
for specific capital projects.
PREPARING THE CAPITAL BUDGET
The most important year of the schedule of projects is the first year. It is called the
Capital Budget and is adopted separately from the five -year program as part of the
annual budget review process.
Based on the CIP, each department's capital outlay portion will be formulated for that
particular year. Each year the CIP will be revised and another year will be added to
complete the cycle. Capital Improvement Programming thus becomes a continuing part
of the City's budget and management process.
The Capital Budget is distinct from the Operating Budget. The Capital Budget
authorizes capital expenditures, while the Operating Budget authorizes the expenditure
of funds for employee salaries, supplies and materials.
Through the City's amendment process, changes can be made to the adopted Capital
Budget during the fiscal year. A request for amendment is generated by an operating
department based on an urgent need for new capital project or for additional funding for
a previously approved project. The request is reviewed by the Finance Director and
City Manager and, if approved by the City Manager, a budget amendment is presented
to the City Commission.
LOCATING A SPECIFIC CAPITAL PROJECT
The Capital Improvement Program is divided into five (5) program areas as follows:
Beautification and Parks (BP)
Transportation, Drainage and Infrastructure Improvements (TDI)
Public Buildings and Facilities (PBF)
Information /Communications Technology (ICT)
Capital Equipment Purchases &Replacement (CE)
Each project in the Capital Improvement Program has a unique project number. This
project number appears at the beginning of the individual project descriptions and the
Summary by Year tables. The first digit refers to functional category priority number
assigned by the City Manager. The final digits outline the individual department
requesting the project. For example, project TDI -1 -CS is Transportation, Drainage and
Infrastructure Improvements project number one which was requested by the
Community Services Department.
Capital Improvement Program 2014 -2019 Page 4
City of Aventura
READING THE PROGRAM SCHEDULES
Detailed information about each capital project is presented in the section titled "Capital
Improvement Program Project Descriptions and Funding Schedules." The section is
arranged by program area and functional category and includes a description of each
project and the funding schedules. Project timetables for each functional category are
indicated in the Summary by Year tables.
The funding schedules are based on the funding needed to complete an individual
project. A project's funding may continue for several years depending on the
development timetable. Each program has a separate Funding Plan Table that outlines
the revenue sources proposed to fund project expenditures.

FUNDING PLAN

Capital Improvement Program 2014 -2019 Page 10
City of Aventura
FUNDING PLAN
INTRODUCTION
In order for a CIP to be an effective management planning tool, the program must
include not only a compilation of major capital needs and their costs but also a financing
plan for the entire life of the program. This financing plan must include an analysis of
the available resources which will be used to fund not only the CIP itself but the required
operating expenses and debt service requirements of the City.
In order to ensure that the financing plan is complete in every respect, the plan
formulation process must include:
1. A projection of revenues and resources which will be available to fund
operating and capital expenditures during the life of the CIP.
2. A projection of future years' operating expenditure levels which will be
required to provide ongoing services to City residents.
3. Once the CIP projects have been evaluated, a determination is made of
the projects to be funded and the timing of the cash outflow for each
project. The information is then tabulated to determine the amounts
required to fund the CIP for each year.
4. From the information obtained in 1 through 3 above, the additional
resources required to fund the CIP will be determined and a decision will
be made on whether the program is to be financed by the issuance of
debt, on apay -as- you -go basis or some combination of the two (2).
The financing plan prepared in such a manner will be as accurate as possible and
should be an informative document to all City residents. However, due to the
uncertainty involved in projecting operating cost increases, the community's desire for
service increases and the inflow of resources over a five -year period, the financing plan
presented should be viewed as a theoretical framework to be adjusted each year based
on the most recent information available at that time. This will be accomplished by
updating the financing plan each year, adopting operating and capital budgets, and
ordinances to implement fee structures which will be required to fund the program each
year.
DEBT VS PAY -AS- YOU -GO FINANCING
Debt financing through the issuance of long term bonds is most appropriate when:
1. There are a small number of relatively large dollar value projects.
2. Larger projects cannot be broken into segments and the costs distributed
over a longer time frame without impairing the usefulness of the project.
Capital Improvement Program 2014 -2019 Page 11
City of Aventura
3. The projects are non - recurring.
4. Assets acquired have a relatively long useful life which equals or exceeds
the life of the debt.
Through long -term bond financing, the costs of a project having a long useful life can be
shared by future residents who will benefit from the projects.
In contrast, pay -as- you -go financing is most appropriate for a CIP which includes:
1. A large number of projects having a relatively small dollar value.
2. Projects which can be broken into phases with a portion completed each
year without impairing the overall effectiveness of the project.
3. Projects which are of a recurring nature.
4. Projects where the assets acquired will have relatively short useful lives.
The primary advantage of pay -as- you -go financing is that the interest costs and costs of
bringing a bond issue to market can be avoided. However, if inappropriately used, this
financing plan may cause tax rates and fee structures to increase suddenly and may
result in current residents paying a greater portion of projects which benefit future
residents.
In summary, the choice of the appropriate financing plan will be contingent upon an
analysis of the projects to be included in a CIP.
REQUIRED SEPARATION OF FUNDING SOURCES
In order to comply with accepted governmental accounting practices and to ensure
compliance with City Codes and any related Bond Indentures, the analysis and
financing plan contained herein will be presented within their respective funds. Projects
funded on a pay -as- you -go basis will directly relate to the Capital Fund Budget from
where the source of funding is derived. Each of these Budgets will appear in the Annual
Operating and Capital Improvement Budget, which is adopted each year. Those funds
are currently represented as follows:
1. General Fund
2. Transportation and Street Maintenance Fund
3. Charter School Fund
4. Capital Projects Fund
5. Stormwater Utility Fund
Capital Improvement Program 2014 -2019 Page 12
City of Aventura
In accordance with accounting, legal and internal revenue requirements, all projects to
be completed with the proceeds received from the sale of Bonds or loans will be
accounted for in a Capital Construction Fund or Stormwater Utility Fund. In addition,
capital outlay for the Charter School is included in a separate Budget adopted by the
City Commission.
SUMMARY OF FINANCING PLAN MODEL
Detailed funding plans for individual funds of the City are enclosed herein in the
following sections. The following represents an overview of the major points of the
recommended funding plan:
1. Utilize "pay -as- you -go" financing through annual appropriations to fund the total five
year amount of $16,890,900. No additional debt is recommended.
2. Adjusts property tax revenues based on projected conservative growth in
assessments.
Capital Improvement Program 2014 -2019 Page 13
City of Aventura
PROPOSED FINANCING PLAN
GENERAL FUND
After evaluating the nature of the various projects that are included in the City's General
CIP, it was decided that pay -as- you -go would be most appropriate for funding the
program.
FINANCING PLAN TABLES
Based on this decision, the analysis which follows is aimed at developing a financing
plan which will allow the City to fund General Government Services operating
expenditures and all projects recommended for funding in the General CIP for each
year of the program.
Table 1 presents a five -year projection of resources which will be available for General
Government Services. Unless shown by an asterisk ( *), the amount projected for each
revenue is based on the tax rate or fee structure in effect during the 2013/14 fiscal year.
Revenue descriptions followed by an asterisk ( *) were computed based on a projected
increase in the rate structure as discussed in the assumption of projections.
Table 2 presents a five -year projection of required operating expenses for General
Government Services which utilize the cost data as outlined in the assumption of
projections.
Table 3 is a recap of resources available to fund the General CIP based on projected
revenues and expenditures and the proposed Capital Improvement Program
appropriations for the five (5) years of the program. Please note that this analysis
assumes that all available resources not needed to fund current operating expenditures
will be transferred to the CIP Fund and that any balance in the CIP Fund will remain in
the CIP. Through this process, the City will be able to accumulate a reserve which
would be used to fund unexpected capital outlays or to fund future years' programs.

STORMWATER UTILITY FUND
The City is responsible for stormwater management activities within its corporate
boundaries.
In order to address deficiencies and develop an ongoing maintenance program, a
Stormwater Utility Fund was created. The Fund generates revenues for stormwater
management costs, permitting, maintenance and capital improvements from a source
other than the General Fund, gas taxes or ad valorem taxes. The Utility relies on user
fees charged to residents and businesses for generating revenues.
Table 5 reflects the anticipated revenues available and the proposed appropriations for
the Stormwater Utility Fund for the five -year period.
A total of $2,490,000 worth of stormwater drainage projects will be completed during the
five -year period. The monthly rate charged to users per unit was $2.50 for 2013/14. It
is not recommended that the fee be increased during the next five (5) years.

Park Facilities /Open Space Recreation
The City's estimated current population is 37,239. The City's Comprehensive Plan
recommended standard is 2.75 acres of park and recreation land for every 1,000
potential residents. The amount of park and recreation land required by the park
standards for this population is 102 acres. In calculating the number of recreation acres
the City has available for use by residents, public private, golf courses and marinas are
accounted for at a different degree depending on accessibility to citizens of the City.
Assuming that public facilities can be accounted for at 100 %, private recreation facilities
at 50 %, and marinas and the golf course at 25 %, the City existing and proposed
recreation areas total 117. Therefore, no deficiency exists under the City's standards.
Table PFOS1 contains an inventory of existing and proposed recreation and open
space areas. The City owns 32 park /open space acres.

CAPITAL EQUIPMENT PURCHASES AND REPLACEMENTS
This section includes projects relating to Capital Equipment Purchases and
Replacements for all operating departments. There are a total of 7 projects totaling
$3,421,500.
PnIicips
The City's investment in capital equipment purchases and replacements is based on the
following policies:
Goal: Provide capital equipment that will meet the needs of all departments in
order to maintain the efficiency and productivity of providing municipal services to the
City's residents.
• Replace all present equipment that is required when they become unusable, unsafe
or when maintenance costs outweigh the total cost of replacement.
• Develop and maintain an "Equipment Evaluation and Replacement Guide" to
determine replacement schedules and costs.
Purchase more economical, fuel efficient and multi - functional vehicles.
• Purchase new equipment that will increase productivity and reduce personnel and
maintenance costs.
• Maintain all City assets at a level adequate to protect the City's capital investment
and to minimize future maintenance and replacement costs.
Proposed Capital Equipment Purchase And Replacement
Most projects outlined in the 2014/15 to 2018/19 Capital Improvement Program are
either pertaining to vehicles or operational equipment. Detailed project descriptions and
a funding schedule follow. The CIP guidelines provide that capital equipment shall be
defined as having a useful life of more than one year and a value of $5,000 or more.
Equipment that has a value of $5,000 or less is also included in this document for
budgetary purpose.
Funding Plan
Funding for the proposed Capital Equipment Purchase and Replacement Projects will
be provided by annual appropriations from the General Fund:

BY: ,66 rian K. Raducci, Finance D
DATE: June 10, 2014
SUBJECT: Re- adoption of Chapter 6.6 of the Administrative Policy Directives and
Procedures Manual, entitled "Investment Objectives and Parameters" as
the City's Investment Policy for the Management of Public Funds.
July 8, 2014 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached resolution re- adopting
Chapter 6.6 of the Administrative Policy Directives and Procedures ( "APDP ") Manual,
entitled "Investment Objectives and Parameters" as the City's Investment Policy for the
Management of Public Funds.
BACKGROUND
As you know, the City's investment manager — Cutwater Asset Management ( "CAM "),
was instrumental in helping the City develop the original version of Chapter 6.6 of the
APDP in order to ensure that the City's investment policy was in compliance with
Section 218.415, F.S. The statute requires that the City must invest its surplus funds
consistent with a written investment plan adopted by the City Commission.
Our original investment policy was adopted by Resolution 2009 -30 and its three (3)
main goals (listed by priority) were and continue to be:
1. Safety of Capital
2. Liquidity of Funds
3. Investment Income
As part of their professional service, CAM periodically reviews our investment policy to
ensure that it allows for us to operate at optimal efficiency and effectiveness while
taking the current market conditions into consideration.
Since its original adoption, the policy has been revised based on CAM's
recommendations as follows:
• Shortly after the City adopted APDP 6.6, the investment policy was expanded to
include the following categories; Commercial Paper, Corporate Notes and
TaxablefTax- Exempt Municipal Bonds which were adopted as part of the
2009/10 budget (through Ordinance 2009 -17)
• Effective, November 1, 2011 (through Resolution 2011 -61) minor revisions were made
to our investment policy that allowed us to operate more effectively and efficiently
under the then current economic climate while remaining in compliance with
Section 218.415, F.S.
CURRENT ECONOMIC CLIMATE
CAM has recently completed their periodic review of our investment policy and as a
result has suggested the following revisions that they believe will allow the City to take
full advantage of the current economic environment while remaining in compliance with
Section 218.415, F.S.
Corporate Notes
Lower the minimum ratings on corporate securities from AA to A by Moody's,
S &P or Fitch, thus adding an additional universe of securities available to the
portfolio while providing additional portfolio diversification and incremental yield.
Cutwater also recommends extending the maturity of corporate securities from
three (3) to five (5) years, thus increasing the maturity of corporate securities
while providing further opportunity for diversification.
2. State and /or Local Government Taxable and /or Tax - Exempt Debt
Lower the minimum ratings on muni securities from AA to A by Moody's and S &P
thus promoting diversification and the potential for incremental yield.
3. Asset Backed Securities (ABS)
Although the current policy permits the utilization of ABS under Corporate Note
securities, CAM is recommending that we establish a separate section which
strictly relates to ABS due to the complexities associated with these securities.
Please note a more detailed explanation of these suggested revisions is attached in a
letter that we received from CAM dated June 5, 2014. Upon your review of this
memorandum, please feel free to contact the City Manager with any questions you may
have.

Jason Celente, CFA
Re: City of Aventura Investment Policy Guideline Review
As is regularly requested, Cutwater Asset Management has reviewed the City of
Aventura's current Investment Policy. Based on this review, we recommend the
following modifications to the City's Investment Policy.
1) Corporate Notes
Lowering the minimum ratings on corporate securities from AA to A by Moodys,
S &P or Fitch. This change in minimum rating will add an additional universe of
securities available to the portfolio. This is expected to provide additional
portfolio diversification and incremental yield. The benchmark comparison
below provides evidence of this diversification and incremental yield available to
the portfolio:

CUTWATER ASSET MANAGEMENT 1 113 King Street, Armonk, NY 10504 1 866 - 766 -3030 1 www.cutwater.com
Cutwater also recommends extending the maturity of corporate securities from
3 to 5 years. Increasing the maturity of corporate securities provides further
opportunity for diversification. This change will allow for increased use of
floating rate securities within the portfolio during a rising rate environment.
(Section V LISTING OF AUTHORIZED INVESTMENTS — J. Corporate Notes)
2) State and /or Local Government Taxable and /or Tax - Exempt Debt
Lowering the minimum ratings on muni securities from AA to A by Moody's and
S&P. The change in minimum rating will similarly promote diversification and
the potential for incremental yield. (Section V LISTING OF AUTHORIZED
INVESTMENTS — K. Taxable/Tax- Exempt Municipal Bonds)
3) Asset Backed Securities (ABS)
The current guidelines do permit ABS under Corporate Note securities. We
recommend establishing a separate section which strictly relates to ABS due
the complexities associated with these securities. (Section V LISTING OF
AUTHORIZED INVESTMENTS — add ABS guidelines as separate permitted
investment)
A sample guideline is outlined below:
Asset Backed Securities
Invest in Asset Backed Securities (ABS) issued by corporations organized and
operating within the United States or by depository institutions licensed by the
United States that have a long term debt rating, at the time of purchase, AAA or
the equivalent by at least two (2) nationally recognized rating agencies.
Portfolio Composition
A maximum of 15% of available funds may be directly invested in ABS.
Limits on Individual Sectors
A maximum of 10% of available funds may be directly invested in ABS of any
one industry sub - sector as defined by Bloomberg Industry Groups.
Limits on Individual Issuers
A maximum of 2% of available funds may be invested with any one issuer.
Maturity Limitations
The maximum length to maturity for ABS shall be five (5) years from the date of
purchase.
We are available to discuss these recommendations at your earliest convenience.
Also, please do not hesitate to contact us should you require additional information.
Best Regards,
Matthew Bodo

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND PARAMETERS
PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to set forth the investment objectives and parameters for the management of public
funds of the City. These policies are designed to ensure the prudent management of public funds, the availability
of operating and capital funds when needed and a competitive investment return.
I. SCOPE
This investment policy applies to the investment of public funds in excess of amounts needed to meet
current expenses, which includes cash and investment balances of City funds.
This policy does not apply to the City's pension funds, including those funds in chapters 175 and 185 or
funds related to the issuance of debt where there are other existing policies or indentures in effect which
govern the investment of such funds.
This policy shall be construed and applied so as to comply with Section 218.415, F.S.
II. INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES
Investment objectives include safety of capital, liquidity of funds and investment income, in that order.
The following objectives will be applied in the management of the City's funds:
A. Safety of Capital
The primary objective of the City's investment program is the protection of public funds.
Investments shall be undertaken in a manner that seeks to ensure the preservation of capital in the
overall portfolio. The objective will be to mitigate credit risk and interest rate risk.
1. Credit Risk — The City will minimize credit risk, the risk of loss due to the failure of the security
issuer or backer, by:
a) Limiting investments to the safest type of securities;
b) Pre - qualifying the financial institution, broker /dealer, intermediaries and advisors with which
the City will do business;
c) Diversifying the investment portfolio so that potential losses on individual securities will be
minimized.
2. Interest Rate Risk — The City will minimize the risk that the market value of securities in the
portfolio will fall due to changes in general interest rates, by:
a) 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;
b) Investing operating funds primarily in shorter -term securities, money market mutual funds or
similar investment pools.
B. Liquidity of Funds
The City's investment strategy will provide sufficient liquidity to meet the City's operating, payroll
and capital requirements. To the extent possible, an attempt will be made to match investment
maturities with known cash needs and anticipated cash flow requirements. Since all possible cash
demands cannot be anticipated, the portfolio should consist largely of securities with active
secondary or resale markets. A portion of the portfolio also may be placed in money market mutual
funds or local government investment pools which offer same -day liquidity for short-term funds.
C. Investment Income
The City's investment portfolio shall be designed with the intent of attaining a market rate of return
throughout the budgetary and economic cycles, taking into account the City's investment risk
constraints and liquidity needs. Return on investment is of secondary importance compared to the
safety and liquidity objectives described above.
III. PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT
The investment portfolio will be managed in accordance with the parameters specified within this policy.
The portfolio should obtain a market average rate of return during a market/economic environment of
stable interest rates while insuring sufficient liquidity within the portfolio.
The short-term investment portfolio shall be designed with the annual objective of exceeding the return of
the Florida State Board of Administration LGIP.
The long -term investment portfolio shall be designed with the annual objective of exceeding the return of
the Merrill Lynch 1 -3 Year Treasury/Agency Index compared to the portfolio's total rate of return. The
Merrill Lynch 1 -3 Year Treasury/Agency Index represents all U.S. Treasury/Agency securities maturing
over one (1) year, but less than three (3) years. This maturity range is an appropriate benchmark based
on the objectives of the City.
IV. ETHICAL STANDARDS
The investment officer and staff, acting in accordance with the written procedures and exercising due
diligence, shall not be held personally responsible for a specific security's credit risk or market price
changes, provided that these deviations are reported immediately and that appropriate action is taken to
control adverse developments.
A. Ethics and Conflicts of Interest
The City's staff involved in the investment process shall refrain from personal business activity that
APDP 6.6.3
could conflict with the proper execution and management of the investment program, or that could
impair their ability to make impartial decisions. All employees involved in the investment process shall
disclose to the City any material financial interests in financial institutions that conduct business with
the City, and they shall further disclose any material personal financial /investment positions that could
be related to the performance of the City's investment program. Applicable ethics standards provided
by the City Charter, City Code, Section 2 -11.1 of the Miami -Dade County Code, and Part III of
Chapter 112, F.S., shall be complied with.
B. Investments should be made with judgment and care, under circumstances then prevailing, which
persons of prudence, discretion and intelligence exercise in the management of their own affairs, not
for speculation, but for investment, considering the probable safety of their capital as well as the
probable income to be derived from the investment.
C. Designation of Investment Officer
The Finance Director is designated as investment officer of the City and is responsible for investment
decisions and the day -to -day administration of the cash management program. No person may
engage in an investment transaction except as provided under the terms of this policy and the
procedures so established. The City may appoint an outside investment manager as "Agent" for the
City's cash reserves. The "Agent" for the City shall have discretion over the purchase and sale of
securities within and subject to compliance with this investment policy. Such investment manager
must be registered under the Investment Advisor Act of 1940. The Finance Director shall consult with
the City Manager as necessary regarding the City's investment activity.
Positions authorized as investment signatories are the City Manager and Finance Director.
V. LISTING OF AUTHORIZED INVESTMENTS — (SUMMARY TABLE IN APPENDIX A)

Those investments not listed in this section are prohibited.

VI. PROHIBITIONS
The purchase of derivative instruments as defined by the Government Account Standards Board
( "GASB ") or any investment instrument which is structured to derive a rate of return from an investment
source other than the originally purchased investment is strictly prohibited.
VII. INVESTMENT PARAMETERS
A. Maturity and Liquidity Requirements
To the extent possible, the City shall attempt to match its investments with anticipated cash flow
requirements. Unless matched with a specific cash flow, the City will not directly invest in securities
maturing more than seven (7) years from the date of purchase. Average life will be used as the
maturity for mortgage- backed securities and the intergovernmental pool investments.
Because of inherent difficulties in accurately forecasting cash flow requirements, a portion of the
portfolio should be continuously invested in readily available funds such as Local Government
Investment Pools, or money market funds to ensure that appropriate liquidity is maintained to meet
ongoing obligations.
VIII. SAFEKEEPING AND CUSTODY
A. Authorized Investment Institutions and Dealers
The City shall only purchase investments from the State Board of Administration, Florida Municipal
Investment Trust, financial institutions which are qualified as public depositories by the Treasurer of
the State of Florida, primary security dealers (or their agents) as designated by the Federal Reserve
APDP 6.6.9
Bank of New York, or by secondary securities dealers (or their agents) who act as investment banking
arms of local qualified banking institutions.
All financial institutions and broker /dealers who desire to provide investment services must supply the
following as appropriate and as requested:
1. Annual audited financial statements;
2. Public depository certification;
3. Proof of National Association of Securities Dealer ( "NASD ") Certification;
4. Certification of having read the City's investment policy;
5. Credit rating provided by a nationally recognized monitoring agency.
B. Delivery vs. Payment
All trades where applicable will be executed by delivery versus payment ( "DVP ") to ensure that
securities are deposited in an eligible financial institution prior to the release of funds. Securities
will be held by a third -party custodian as evidenced by safekeeping receipts.
C. Master Repurchase Agreement
The investment policy shall require all approved institutions and dealers transacting repurchase
agreements to execute and perform as stated in the Master Repurchase Agreement. All
repurchase agreement transactions shall adhere to the requirements of the Master Repurchase
Agreement.
D. Bid Requirements
Investments will be chosen based on liquidity needs and market conditions. The investments will
be competitively bid when feasible and appropriate. Except as required by law, the bid deemed to
best meet the investment objectives must be selected.
E. Internal Controls
The Finance Director is responsible for establishing and maintaining an internal control structure
designed to ensure that the assets of the City are protected from loss, theft or misuse. The internal
control structure shall be designed to provide reasonable assurance that these objectives are met.
The concept of reasonable assurance recognizes that the cost of a control should not exceed the
benefits likely to be derived and the valuation of costs and benefits requires estimates and
judgments by management.
Accordingly, the Finance Director shall establish a process for an annual independent review as
part of the annual financial audit to assure compliance with the policies and procedures. The
internal controls shall address the following points:
Control of collusion — Collusion is a situation where two (2) or more employees are working in
conjunction to defraud their employer.
2. Separation of transaction authority from accounting and record keeping — By separating the
person who authorizes or performs the transaction from the people who record or otherwise
account for the transaction, .a separation of duties is achieved.
3. Custodial safekeeping — All securities, with the exception of certificates of deposit, shall be held
with a third -party custodian; and all securities purchased by, and all collateral obtained by the City
should be properly designated as an asset of the City. The securities must be held in an account
AP DP 6.6.10
separate and apart from the assets of the financial institution. No withdrawal of such securities, in
whole or in part, shall be made from safekeeping except by the Finance Director as authorized
herein, or by their respective designee.
4. Certificates of Deposit issued by a local bank or savings and loan association may be held in
safekeeping at that institution. The institution shall issue a copy of the certificate of deposit, a
safekeeping receipt, or some other confirmation of the purchase that is satisfactory to the Finance
Director. This will be kept on file in the Finance Department and will indicate the amount, interest
rate, issue date and maturity date of the certificate of deposit.
5. Avoidance of physical delivery securities — Book entry securities are much easier to transfer and
account for since actual delivery is never taken. Physical delivery securities must be properly
safeguarded against loss or destruction. The potential for fraud and loss increases with physically
delivered securities.
6. Clear delegation of authority to subordinate staff members — Subordinate staff members must
have a clear understanding of their authority and responsibilities to avoid improper actions.
7. Written confirmation of telephone transactions for investments and wire transactions — Due to the
potential for error and improprieties arising from telephone transactions, all telephone transactions
should be supported by written communications and approved by appropriate personnel unless an
agreement is executed with a financial institution as discussed in paragraph B.8 below.
8. Development of a wire transfer agreement with a bank or third -party custodian — This agreement
should outline the various controls and security provisions for making and receiving wire transfers.
IX. CONTINUING EDUCATION
The Finance Director and Controller shall annually complete eight (8) hours of continuing education in
subjects or courses of study related to investment practices and products.
X. REPORTING
The Finance Director shall provide a quarterly investment report to the City Manager. The report shall list
investments by fund and type and include the book value, income earned and market value as of the
report date.
XI. SECURITIES; DISPOSITION

institutions, wherever located, equal to or greater than the amount of the funds initially invested by the

In addition, Teresa has announced her retirement from her position as Aventura's first
and only City Clerk effective after the November election. She has agreed to assist her
replacement in the transition period and be available thereafter for assistance. In
reiterating the above, every year since her first day, Teresa has conducted herself in a
highly professional manner and has brought integrity and excellence to her office and
all official duties. Based on the foregoing, I recommend a $18,000 net bonus ($1,000
for each year of service) be given to her.
