May 2, 2017 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item LD G
Recommendation
It is recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution awarding Bid No.
17-03-30-2, Aventura LED Street Light Fixture Supplier to the lowest responsible and
responsive bidder, World Electric Supply for the price of $958,000. This project will be funded
by Budget Line Item Number 120-5401-541-6305.
Background
In accordance with the City's Purchasing Ordinance, bids for this project were solicited,
advertised, and opened on March 30, 2017. The City received five (5) bids for this project.
*Gresco Utility Supply $941,000
World Electric Supply $958,000
Torres Electrical Supply Co., Inc. $974,000
Graybar Electric $989,000
South Dade Electrical Supply, Inc. $1,022,000
'Gresco Utility Supply was the apparent low bidder. However, after review it was found that the
low bid amount applied to an alternate fixture and not for the fixture specified so they have been
deemed non-responsive.
The purpose of the Bid was to establish unit pricing for an LED Light Fixture to switch out with
the City's existing halide fixtures on all existing single and double fixture poles throughout the
City. Unit pricing will now be established to allow the City to purchase LED Light Fixtures on an
as-needed basis to address the four (4) year CIP project Retrofit Street Lighting with LED
Fixtures.

May 2, 2017 Local Planning Agency Agenda Item 4_
May 2, 2017 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item.
June 14, 2017 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item _
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission approve staffs requests for updates to the
City Code detailed in this report and provided in the accompanying ordinance.
THE REQUEST
City staff is recommending general housekeeping updates to the City Code. These
updates are recommended for consistency with recent changes in legislation, for
clarification of Code provisions and for facilitation of development review. The specific
proposals are as follows:
1. Chapter 31, Article II, Section 31-21, Definitions, Amendment to Open Space Definition
The current definition of "Open Space" in Section 31-21 provides that open space is any
area of land and/or water which is open and unobstructed from the ground to the sky,
including wetland mitigation areas and areas maintained in a natural and undisturbed
character. It does not include areas covered with buildings, parking areas, driveways and
other paved areas.
The "open and unobstructed from the ground to the sky" language precludes counting
rooftop gardens and above ground landscaped patio areas as part of open space, while
these areas are encouraged as part of the City's Green Building Program and function as
open space amenities for residents, users and occupants of buildings in an urban setting.
The exception is the development standard in the Office Park (OP) zoning district which
currently provides that 50% of roof decks and other above grade surfaces which are
provided and maintained for the common benefit of all occupants of the building may be
included in the calculation of required open space.
Staff recommends that the definition of open space be amended to provide that 50% of
the area of any landscaped rooftop or above ground patio areas be counted as part of
open space for all zoning districts, with the condition that these areas be well landscaped
with trees and other plantings and that they be maintained for the common benefit of and
accessible to all occupants of the building. This amendment is not proposed to include
planter boxes on exterior walls or other small above ground planting areas that are not
available for use by building occupants.
The proposed amendment language is as follows:
Section 31-121, Definitions:
"Open space shall mean any area of land and/or water, which is open and unobstructed from the
ground to the sky including wetland mitigation areas and areas maintained in a natural and
undisturbed character. Open space shall include private parks, buffer yards and common
landscaped areas. Open space shall also include 50% of the area of landscaped rooftop
amenities and landscaped above-around patios which are well landscaped with trees and other
plantings and are maintained for the common benefit of and accessible to all occupants of the
building. Open space shall also include bicycle and pedestrian paths external to a development
parcel. Open space shall not include submerged areas below the control water elevation (exclusive
of wetland areas), areas covered with buildings, parking areas, driveways and other paved areas
and shall not include planter boxes on exterior walls or other above ground planting areas that are
not available for use by building occupants."
2. Chapter 31, Article VII, Sections 31-144 and 31-145, Use Regulations, Addition of
Adopted Amendment to Chapter 14, Green Building Program for Consistency
On April 15, 2016, the City Commission adopted Ordinance No. 2016-05 which added
language to Chapter 14, Green Building Program, of the City Code to address situations
where a LEED® Gold or Platinum building is proposed on the same site that had an
existing office building or buildings on October 6, 2009, namely, the date of passage of the
Green Building Program, where the existing office building or buildings are not certified at
LEED® Gold or Platinum level. The adopted amendment in Chapter 14 is as follows:
"For projects located on the same site as an existing office building or buildings, which office
building or buildings was/were constructed before October 6, 2009 as evidenced by a temporary
certificate of occupancy or certificate of occupancy and does/do not meet LEED®Gold or Platinum
certification, the bonuses in (ii) and(iii) above shall be calculated based on the applicant's total site
area, provided that the new construction that attains LEED® Gold or Platinum certification is the
same size or larger than the total square footage of the existing office building or buildings."
2
For consistency, Section 31-144, Business Zoning Districts and Section 31-145, Town
Center Zoning Districts, should now be amended to include this adopted amendment. The
proposed addition of this clause to each section of those two zoning districts is detailed in
the attached ordinance
3. Chapter 31, Article VII, Use Regulations, Amendment to Permitted Size of Above
Ground Fuel Storage Tanks for Multifamily Residential Districts and Non-Residential
Districts
All residential, business, town center, industrial, community facilities, recreation/open
space and utilities zoning districts contain provisions for installation of above ground fuel
tanks for storage of emergency generator fuel. Those provisions are:
Aboveground storage tanks. Aboveground storage tanks (AST) are permitted as a
conditional use only as an accessory use and only for the purpose of storing fuel for
emergency generators. ASTs must conform to the following requirements:
a. Be of 550 gallons capacity or less.
b. Be installed and operated under a valid permit from the Miami-Dade County
Department of Environmental Resources Management.
c. Be fully screened by a masonry or concrete wall with a self-closing and locking
metal door or gate. Such wall shall be landscaped in accordance with the City's
Landscape Code.
d. Be located in a manner consistent with the site development standards of the
zoning district.
Installation of any AST shall require a building permit from the City. Application for
building permit shall be accompanied by a site plan indicating the location of the AST
relative to property lines, the primary structure served by the AST, any other structures
within 300 feet as well as a landscape plan prepared by a Florida licensed architect or
landscape architect and other supporting documentation as deemed necessary by the
City Manager or designee.
The above ground fuel storage tank is a permitted accessory use in the business district
and is a conditional accessory use in the residential districts. If the tank capacity is larger
than 550 gallons, variance approval is needed prior to issuance of a building permit for the
installation. This 550 gallon size limit was adopted as part of the zoning districts in April of
2000 and corresponds to the maximum size allowable without Florida Department of
Environmental Protection tank registration. Since this provision was adopted into the
Code, several residential condominiums have applied to the City to replace old
underground fuel storage tanks with new above ground tanks. However, while the 550
gallon tank is sufficient for single family homes, this smaller size of tank does not
adequately serve the size of generator needed for the larger multifamily condominium
buildings. Generally, applications have shown that a minimum 2000 gallon capacity tank
is required for the high rise buildings.
3
Staff recommends that the above ground fuel storage tank provision be revised to change
the size of tank from 550 gallons capacity or less to 2000 gallons capacity or less for
multifamily residential districts and for non-residential districts. In the multifamily
residential and town center districts, conditional use approval would still be required prior
to installation but the need for variance approval would be eliminated. In non-residential
districts, the tanks would continue to be permitted as an accessory use but with the larger
size. All other existing requirements will remain the same, those are, the property owner
must obtain a DERM permit, screen the tank with a masonry wall with self-closing and
locking metal gate or door, locate the tank in a manner consistent with site development
standards (setbacks) and obtain a City building permit.
4. Chapter 31, Article IX, Section 31-191, Sign Regulations, Amendment to Temporary
Signs
Staff has received requests from several property owners requesting a temporary sign for
new tenants while their interior renovations are under construction. Currently, Section 31-
191 of the City Code allows only a temporary banner for 14 days following issuance of a
Local Business Tax Receipt. The Local Business Tax Receipt is not issued until all
interior renovations have been permitted, inspected and approved by the Building Division.
This leaves the tenant with no sign until the unit is ready to be occupied.
Staff is recommending that a window sign be added as a permitted temporary sign, with
similar conditions and limitations as a temporary window sign permitted in Section 31-
191(k)(5). The proposed amendment is as follows:
"Section 31-191, Sign Regulations Generally
(k) Temporary Signs
(11) Temporary Window Sign During Construction of Tenant Space
_Residential District _Non-Residential District
Approvals necessary Not permitted Sion Permit Required
Number(maximum) _One per establishment
Sign area (maximum) Ten percent of window area up to
_a maximum of ten square feet
Time Limit Permitted for a 12 month period
from date of building permit
issuance until the date of
issuance of a Certificate of
Completion or Occupancy. or
4
until a permitted temporary
banner is erected, or until a
permitted permanent wall sign is
erected,whichever first occurs
5. Chapter 31, Article X, Section 31-221, Landscaping requirements. Update for
Consistency with Miami-Dade County Code
The following revisions are proposed for consistency with recent updates to the Miami-
Dade County landscape code and to clarify City standards for landscaping:
1. The definition of "caliper" in Section 31-221(d) be deleted as the tree standard is now
included in subparagraph (h)(1)b. below, which refers to the most current edition of Florida
Grades and Standards for Nursery Plants.
2. The location and number of street trees is clarified in subparagraph (h)(1)d. below.
3. A new subparagraph (h)(1)I., Minimum landscape requirements for all zoning districts,
is added for street trees near power lines, where the height and location of overhead
power lines requires the planting of low growing trees.
4. A new subparagraph (h)(1)m. is added to provide minimum tree species diversity
standards.
5. The language in Subsection (h)(2) d., Other Plant Material Specification, is updated to
reference most current edition of Florida Grades and Standards for Nursery Plants.
6. Subparagraph (0(1), Maintenance, is clarified to provide that all plantings are
sufficiently fertilized and watered to maintain the plantings in a healthy condition.
7. A new Subparagraph (i)(2), Maintenance, is added to provide for replacement of any
dead tree or plant with an approved substitute.
The proposed amendments are as follows:
"Section 31-221, Landscaping requirements
(d) Definitions. The following words, terms and phrases, when used in this chapter, shall have the meanings
ascribed to them in this subsection, except where the context clearly indicates a different meaning:
(h) Minimum landscape requirements for all zoning districts.

palms (Syagrus romanzoffiana) shall not be allowed as street trees. Street trees are required
in addition to the minimum number of required trees. The City reserves the right to designate
a common species for a roadway or portion of certain roadway segments in order to achieve a
uniformity of appearance.
I. Trees near power lines. Where the height and location of overhead powerlines requires the
planting of low growing trees, street trees shall have a minimum height of ten (10) feet and
shall conform to or exceed, the minimum standards for Florida No. 1 grade or equivalent in
the most current edition of Florida Grades and Standards for Nursery Plants at time of
planting, and shall meet all of the following requirements:
1. Single trunk trees clear of lateral branches to four (4) feet and/or multi-trunk trees or
trees/shrubs,as referenced in Landscape Manual, cleared of foliage to a height of four(4)feet.

planted, pursuant to the following table:
Required Number Minimum Number Percentage of
of Trees of Tree Each Tree
• Species Species
11-20 2 50 percent
6
21-50 4 25 percent
51 or more 6 16 percent
Nothing in this subsection shall preclude the planting of additional tree species beyond the
minimum numbers indicated in the table above, provided that the proportionality of each
species planted is maintained. This subsection shall not preclude the planting of a single
species in or along a thematic landscaping corridor, as determined by the City Manager or
Designee.
(2) Other plant material specifications.

(i) Maintenance.
(1) General. In all districts, the owner, or his agent, shall be responsible for the maintenance, in
perpetuity, of all landscaping material in good condition so as to present a healthy, vigorous, neat,
and orderly appearance, and clear of weeds, refuse and debris, and sufficiently fertilized and
watered to maintain the plant material in a healthy condition. Landscaping material shall be trimmed
and maintained so as to meet all city, county or state site distance requirements.
(2) Failure to conform or maintain.
a. If at any time after the issuance of a certificate of occupancy, any landscaping material is found
to be in non-conformance, including, but not limited to, dead or dying plant material, notice shall be
issued to the owner or his agent that corrective action is required to be in compliance with this
article. Such notice shall describe what action is necessary to comply. The owner or his agent shall
have a time period, as set forth by the Code Compliance Division of the Community Development
Department, to fulfill the landscaping requirements. Failure of compliance within the allotted time
shall be considered a violation of this section and shall subject the property owner to fines as
determined appropriate, by the Special Master of the City of Aventura.
7
b. If any tree or plant dies which is being used to satisfy current landscape code requirements
such tree or plant shall be replaced with the same landscape material or an approved
substitute.
6. Chapter 31, Article XI, Section 31-232, Subdivision Design Standards, Language
Clarification
Chapter 31, Article XI, Section 31-231, Development Standards, provides that all
development shall conform to the specific requirements of the appropriate zoning districts
and shall comply with the standards contained in Article XI and other regulations in the
Land Development Regulations. Section 31-232, entitled "Subdivision Design Standards",
contains the design standards that staff has historically used for both subdivision and site
development review.
Staff is recommending that the wording in Section 31-232 be clarified to read "Subdivision
and Site Development Design Standards" to eliminate any confusion as to applicability of
the design standards in this section. The proposed amendment is as follows:
"Article XI— Development Standards of General Applicability
Section 31-232— Subdivision and Site Development design standards.
In considering plans for subdivision and site development of land, the appropriate review bodies
shall be guided by the standards set forth hereinafter. All references in this section to the word
"subdivision"shall include site development of land."
7. Chapter 31, Article XI, Section 31-232, Subdivision Design Standards, Addition of
Requirement of Bicycle Storage Facilities as a design standard
Staff is recommending that Chapter 31, Article XI, Section 31-232, be amended to require
installation of bicycle storage facilities in all subdivisions, site development and site
redevelopment to facilitate multimodal travel. The proposed amendment is as follows:
Article XI—Development Standards of General Applicability
Section 31-232— Subdivision and Site Development design standards.
8
(8) All new subdivisions, site development and site redevelopment shall provide bicycle storage
facilities in suitable design, location and number, based on square footage or number of residential
units, as determined by the City Manager or designee.
8. Deletion of Murals from Chapter 31, Section 31-191, Sign regulations generally, and
Addition of Murals to Chapter 31, Article XI, Section 31-233, Architectural Design
Standards
Chapter 31-191(f) of the City's sign code currently prohibits murals, defined as any
mosaic, painting or graphic art technique applied, implanted or placed directly onto an
exterior wall.
Staff has received a request from a commercial property owner to place murals within the
interior courtyard of its development to enhance the pedestrian experience in the
courtyard. Staff is recommending that murals be deleted from the sign code and that they
be regulated as an architectural design standard, with conditions to ensure that they be
placed only in interior courtyard areas, on exterior walls that do not face a public right of
way and that they are not used as signs. This will provide an aesthetic enhancement of
the areas while maintaining the unique aesthetic character of the City and preventing
visual distraction.
The proposed amendment is to delete the current provision from Section 31-191, Sign
regulations generally, and to add a new provision to Section 31-233, Architectural Design
Standards, as follows:
Article IX- Sign Regulations
Section 31-191 - Sign regulations generally
(e) Definitions
(0 Prohibited Signs
(19)- Murals
Article XI- Development Standards of General Applicability
Section 31-233-Architectural Design Standards.
9
(5) Murals. Murals, defined as any mosaic. painting or graphic art technique applied, implanted or
placed directly onto an exterior wall, may be permitted when located in an interior courtyard area
and on exterior walls of buildings that do not face a public right of way, when they do not contain
any advertising copy and when they do not use any color, form, graphic, illumination, symbol, or
writing to advertise, announce the purpose of, or identify the purpose of any person or entity, or to
communicate information to the public and cannot in any other way be defined as a sign, as
determined by the City Manager or his designee.
9. Chapter 31, Article XI, Section 31-238, Accessory Uses, Adding Regulations for
Awnings, Canopies, Sun Shade Devices and Porte Cocheres
The City Code does not provide for any overhang or encroachment into a required
setback for awnings and canopies. This provision has limited the use of awnings and
canopies. There are no code provisions for sun shade devices and porte-cocheres. In
order to support the pedestrian connectivity plan currently underway, to encourage
use of sun shade devices and to support the City's green building program, staff is
recommending the following code amendments and additions to provide pedestrian
shelter and to encourage the use of shading elements.
The proposed amendment and addition to this section is as follows:
Section 31-238, Accessory Uses
"(b) Awnings_aad canopies porte-cocheres and sun shade devices. The definition of an
awning or canopy shall be as provided for in the Florida Building Code. Any advertising shall
conform to the sign regulations contained in this Code.
(1) Awnings. An awning may be located at any window provided it is architecturally
integrated into the buildings, design and color. The maximum height and width of an
awning shall be limited to the minimum area required to cover a building's window.
Awnings shall not be illuminated.
An awning may project into a front, side or rear yard setback, provided that any such
proiection does not exceed five (5) feet or one-half (%) of the width of the required
setback, whichever is less. The minimum height of an awning shall be eight feet above
ground. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, an awning may not proiect over a
public sidewalk, public right of way or any vehicular use area.
(2) Canopies. A canopy may be located over any private walkway adjacent to a building
or over a building's entrance. The maximum minimum height of the overall canopy
structure shall be eight feet and the maximum height shall be fifteen feet. The maximum
width of a canopy shall be limited to the width of the sidewalk or entry way that it is
covering. Illumination of a canopy shall be limited to the minimum illumination required
for safe pedestrian passage under the canopy.
A canopy may proiect into a front, side or rear yard setback in area and size sufficient to
provide pedestrian shelter over a private walkway or building entrance, as determined by
the City Manager or his designee. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions. a canopy
may not encroach into a public sidewalk, public right of way or into any vehicular use
area.
10
j3) Porte-Cocheres. A permanent, roofed structure extending from the entrance of a
building over an adiacent private driveway to shelter those getting in and out of vehicles
may extend to within ten feet of any property line. provided that the structure is
constructed of walls and roof in design compatible with the principal structure, is open on
three sides and has a maximum length no longer than the driveway it is sheltering.
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, a porte-cochere may not encroach into a public
sidewalk or public right of way and or any vehicular use area.
J4) Sun Shade Devices. Other above ground sun shade devices attached to a building
wall. including but not limited to, horizontal or vertical fins, shutter panels, brise-soleil or
solar screens designed to shade windows from the sun, may proiect into a front, side or
rear yard setback, provided that any such projection does not exceed five (5) feet or one-
half (A) of the width of the required setback, whichever is less. The minimum height of
sun shade devices shall be eight feet above ground.

RE: 2017/18 Aventura Charter High School Fund Budget
Members of the City Commission:
In accordance with Article IV, Section 4.05 of the Charter of the City of Aventura, I hereby
submit the proposed Budget for the Aventura Charter High School Fund for the fiscal year
beginning July 2017, for your review and consideration.
As discussed at the April meeting, this is a start-up budget that includes anticipated costs
for the period of July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018. This establishes a new fund designated
as 191 which will be initially used to account for start-up expenditures specifically
associated with the proposed Aventura Charter High School. In the future, the fund will
account for both operating and capital revenues, expenditures and lease payments.
The budget amount is $110,000, which is funded from an advance from the General Fund.
The funds will be used to support the fees related to the Planning Agreement with Charter
Schools USA and costs associated with the charter school application and contract
process. Once the school is fully operational a payment schedule will be developed to
repay the advance from the General Fund.
Respectfully submitted,
Eric M. So'roka
City Manager

RE: 2017/18 Charter School Fund Budget Message
Members of the City Commission:

ACES
cukhmNng Con sy
In accordance with Article IV, Section 4.05 of the Charter of the City of Aventura, I hereby
submit the proposed Budget for the Charter School Fund for the fiscal year beginning July
2017, for your review and consideration. This budget document represents the 15th year of
operation of the Aventura City of Excellence School. Our goal in the development and
preparation of a realistic balanced budget was to provide the funding levels to maintain the
quality education services for our students.
Budget Format
The format of the budget is in accordance with guidelines adopted by the State and School
Board of Miami -Dade County, Florida and utilizes the school system's account codes as well.
The proposed budget was prepared with input from the school's administrative staff and
Charter Schools USA (CSUSA).
Significant Factors Affecting Budget Preparation
The 2017/18 school year represents the 15th year of operations of the school. Our past has
shown that we can continue to operate a high performing school that provides a quality
education for our students, within the school-based revenues. We have also been fortunate to
have involved parents that participate in fund-raising activities for school improvements.
The overall budget increased by 2.3% or $214,069, largely due to employee salary increases
and technology equipment. The budget includes funding for lease payments to the Debt
Service Fund to pay annual costs associated with the long term debt borrowed for the
construction of the elementary school wing. Based on anticipated actions at the State level the
FTE revenues are budgeted to increase by 1 %.
City of Aventura Page 1 Charter School Fund Budget
The following items represents important highlights:
• Teacher salary increases reflect the new performance pay plan in accordance
with Florida Statute 1012.22, rewarding teachers who are rated effective and
highly effective.
• No additional employee positions are proposed.
• Funds have been budgeted to provide for interactive classroom lesson software,
a pilot program for one-to-one computing to enhance instruction and technology
expansions including new laptops, mobile learning computer labs, computer
replacements and smartboards.
Summary of All Budgetary Funds
The total proposed budget for 2017/18, including all operating and capital outlay, is
$9,482,629. The majority of the budget is Personnel Services at $6,028,394. Operating
expenditures total $2,567,235. Other Uses expenditures, which primarily represent lease
payments to the Debt Service Fund to cover school construction debt payments and a
contingency, account total $534,000. Capital Outlay expenditures are $353,000.

Summary
I am pleased to submit the detailed budget contained herein. The budget document and its
related funding levels represent the City's continued commitment to providing a school of
excellence for our community.
The budget contains funding levels to address the following key objectives:
• Hiring and retaining administrators and teachers who are well prepared for creating life-
long learners in their students as well as acting as role models in their own quest for
knowledge on the latest "best practices" in educational research to enhance their
teaching abilities.
• Putting into place a strong accountability system that will hold everyone at ACES
responsible for maximizing learning opportunities.
• Creating a school climate that enables students and teachers to feel they are cared for,
respected, and contributing members of ACES.
• A low staff -pupil ratio in order to enhance the development of the individual strengths of
each student.
• Continuing to use data to evaluate the efficacy of instructional programs.
• Developing a strong parent -teacher relationship.
• Maximizing the use of technology embedded in the classroom instruction through the
implementation of increased wireless network capabilities, a bring your own device
program, mobile labs, classroom labs, interactive televisions, IPad carts and a pilot
program for one-to-one computing to enhance instruction.
The preparation and formulation of this document could not have been accomplished without
the assistance and dedicated efforts of the School's Administration. All questions relating to
the budget should be referred to my attention.
Respectfully submitted,
Eric M. Leka
City Manager
City of Aventura Page 8 Charter School Fund Budget
BUDGET PROCESS
Budget Preparation/Development
1. January: Meetings are held with the Principal, school staff and City Manager to develop
Goals and to discuss issues that may impact the budget for the upcoming school year.
2. February: Preliminary Revenue projections and forecasts are developed by the City
Manager. The following steps are followed to project revenues:
• Forecast student enrollment.
• The State's Florida Education Finance Program (FEFP) per student allocation is
projected by the State and provided to the charter school.
• Capital Outlay funding is determined by the State based on available funding.
3. March: Personnel needs are developed based on input from the Principal and staff. The
following steps are utilized to forecast personnel:
• Review existing staffing requirements to ensure adequate coverage for student
needs and new programs.
• Review salary structure to ensure competitiveness with the school district.
• Benefits calculations such as Workers' Compensation, Life Insurance, Health
Insurance, and Pension are provided by CSUSA and developed for each qualifying
employee.
4. April: Individual expenditure line items are developed by the City Manager based on
input from the Principal and historical data. A draft of the budget document is prepared
by the City Manager. The draft is reviewed by the Principal and the Finance
Department.
5. April/May: The budget is reviewed by the School Advisory Committee. The City
Manager submits budget to the City Commission who acts as the Board of Directors for
the School.
6. June: The budget is loaded into the accounting system.
7. July: Budget goes into effect.
Budget Adoption
The Charter School budget is approved via Ordinance at two public meetings scheduled for
April and May conducted by the City Commission. The adopted budget is integrated into the
accounting software system effective July 1st.
Budget Control/Monitoring
Funds appropriated in the Budget may be expended by and with the approval of the City
Manager in accordance with the provisions of the City Charter and applicable law. Funds of the
City shall be expended in accordance with the appropriations provided in the Budget and shall
constitute an appropriation of the amounts specified therein. Supplemental appropriations or the
reduction of appropriations, if any, shall be made in accordance with Section 4.07 of the City
Charter.
The Budget establishes a limitation on expenditures by department total. Said limitation requires
that the total sum allocated to the Charter School department for operating and capital expenses
may not be increased or decreased without specific authorization by a duly -enacted Ordinance
affecting such amendment or transfer. Therefore, the City Manager may authorize transfers from
City of Aventura Page 9 Charter School Fund Budget
one individual line item account to another, so long as the line item accounts are within the same
department and fund.
The "Personnel Allocation Summary" enumerates all authorized budgeted positions. However,
the City Manager may amend said authorized budgeted positions in order to address the
operating needs of the department so long as sufficient budgeted funds are available. The
budget is monitored on a monthly basis to track variances between actual and budgeted
amounts. Significant variances are investigated and monitored for corrective action. Quarterly
review meetings are held with the Principal and City Manager. Encumbrances do not constitute
expenditures or liabilities in the current year, but instead are defined as commitments related
to unperformed contracts for goods or services, which are only reported in governmental
funds.
Budget Amendment
Upon the passage and adoption of the Charter School Fund Budget for the City of Aventura, if the
City Manager determines that the department total will exceed its original appropriation, the City
Manager is authorized to prepare such Ordinances for consideration by the City Commission as
may be necessary and proper to modify any line item from the Budget.
Basis of Accounting
Basis of Accounting refers to the time period when revenues and expenditures are recognized in
the accounts and reported on the financial statements. Basis of accounting relates to the timing
of the measurements made, regardless of the measurement focus applied. The accrual basis of
accounting is followed for the proprietary fund types. The modified accrual basis of accounting is
followed in the governmental fund types and the expendable trust funds type. Under the modified
accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded when susceptible to accrual, that is, when
they are both measurable and available. Available means collectible within the current period or
soon enough thereafter to pay current liabilities. Expenditures are generally recognized under the
modified accrual accounting when the related fund liability is incurred. Exceptions to the general
rule are principal and interest on general long-term debt which is recognized when due.
The Charter School Fund Budget applies all applicable GASB pronouncements as well as the
following pronouncements issued on or before November 30, 1989, unless those
pronouncements conflict with or contradict GASB pronouncements: Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) statements and interpretations, Accounting Principles Board (APB)
opinions and Accounting Research Bulletins (ARBs).
During June 1999, the Government Accounting Standards Board (GASB) issued Statement
No. 34. This statement established new accounting and financial reporting standards for state
and local governments. The Charter School Fund implemented the new financial reporting
requirements of GASB 34.
