City of Aventura Resolution No. 2023-_ HOWARD S. WEINBERG, ESQ. MAYOR ATTEST: ELLISA L. HORVATH, MMC CITY CLERK APPROVED AS TO LEGAL SUFFICIENCY: CITY ATTORNEY CITY OF "ENTURA OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER MEMORANDUM TO: City Commission FROM: Ronald J. Wasson, City Manager BY: Robert Meyers, City Attorney Date: December 29, 2022 SUBJECT: Recommendation to Adopt International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance ("IHRA") Working Definition of Antisemitism January 5, 2023 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Commission adopt the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance ("IHRA") working definition of "antisemitism" and reaffirm earlier resolutions denouncing hate crimes against Jews and antisemitism in all its various forms. BACKGROUND Over the years, the City of Aventura has demonstrated its commitment to condemning antisemitism, hateful and hurtful messages and behavior against Jewish populations locally, statewide, nationally and globally by adopting no less than five resolutions regarding this subject and related subjects. The IHRA definition of antisemitism has been adopted by 37 United Nations member countries, 320 federal government entities, 22 states and a number of municipalities, including those located in Florida. This definition serves as an important tool for law enforcement, public officials and community leaders to help, identify, measure, monitor and fight antisemitism. Given the historically high levels of antisemitism in the world today, combined with the City of Aventura's sizeable Jewish population, the City Commission aims to continue to combat antisemitism to the greatest extent possible. Embracing the IHRA definition is further proof of the City's leadership to educate all communities about the dangers associated with the persistent, pervasive and disturbing problem known as antisemitism. CITY OF AVENTURA RESOLUTION NO. 2023- A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF AVENTURA, FLORIDA, ADOPTING THE INTERNATIONAL HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE ALLIANCE WORKING DEFINITION OF "ANTISEMITISM"; REASSERTING THE CITY'S COMMITMENT TO CONDEMN ANTISEMITISM BY REAFFIRMING EARLIER RESOLUTIONS DENOUNCING BIAS CRIMES AND UNLAWFUL DISCRIMINATION AGAINST JEWS AND FURTHERMORE ANTISEMITISM IN ALL ITS VARIOUS FORMS; PROVIDING FOR IMPLEMENTATION; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE. WHEREAS, antisemitism, including harassment on the basis of actual or perceived Jewish origin, ancestry, ethnicity, identify, affiliation, or faith, remains a persistent, pervasive, and disturbing problem in contemporary American society and in the State of Florida; and WHEREAS, antisemitism is at historically high levels in the United States and around the world, and South Florida, with a large Jewish population, is not immune from this plight. Data shows that Jews are consistently the most likely of all religious groups to be victimized by incidents of hate, and that such incidents are increasing at an alarming rate. Although Jews constitute only 2% of the population of the U.S., Jews account for close to 60% of all religiously-based hate crimes; and WHEREAS, valid monitoring, informed analysis and investigation, and effective policy-making all require uniform definitions; and WHEREAS, while there can be no exhaustive definition of antisemitism because it can take many forms, the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (the "IHRA") Working Definition of Antisemitism has been an essential definitional tool used to determine contemporary manifestations of antisemitism, and includes essential examples of discriminatory anti-Israel acts that can cross the line into antisemitism; and WHEREAS, the IHRA working definition is used by various agencies of the federal and state government, in addition to 22 States within the U.S. and an increasing number of cities. The Definition has also been adopted by 37 United Nations member countries, and growing number of other nations that have Jewish populations; and City of Aventura Resolution No. 2023-_ WHEREAS, government officials and institutions, have a responsibility to protect citizens from acts of hate and bigotry motivated by discriminatory animus, including antisemitism, and must be given the tools to do so; and WHEREAS, the City Commission wishes to reaffirm Resolutions 2020-59, 2020- 37E 2019-13 and 2018-45 demonstrating the City's commitment to work proactively against all forms of unlawful antisemitic conduct wherever and whenever it may be encountered; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF AVENTURA, FLORIDA: Section 1. That the City Commission hereby adopts the IHRA definition of antisemitism that was adopted on May 27, 2016, including the contemporary examples provided, which may be found at: https://www.holocaustremembrance.com/resources/working-definitions- charters/working-definition-antisemitism. Section 2. That the City Commission respectfully requests that the City Attorney prepare an ordinance to direct that: 1) In reviewing, investigating, or deciding whether there has been a violation of any relevant policy, law, or regulation prohibiting discriminatory acts, Aventura City departments and officials shall take into consideration the Definition for purposes of determining whether the alleged act was motivated by discriminatory antisemitic intent. 2) For the purposes of training Aventura's employed personnel related to discrimination and anti-bias training, the Definition shall be used as an educational tool to familiarize City officials with identifying and addressing antisemitism. The foregoing Resolution was offered by Commissioner who moved its adoption. The motion was seconded by Commissioner and upon being put to a vote, the vote was as follows: Page 2 of 3 City of Aventura Resolution No. 2023- Commissioner Amit Bloom Commissioner Rachel S.

HORVATH, MMC CITY CLERK APPROVED AS TO LEGAL SUFFICIENCY: CITY ATTORNEY Page 3 of 3 CITY OF AVENTURA FINANCE DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM TO: City Commission FROM: Ronald J. Wasson, City Manager BY: Melissa Cruz, Finance Director DATE: December 29, 2022 SUBJECT: Resolution Setting Forth the Ranking of the Enterprise Resource Planning ("ERP")/IT Consultant to Assist in the City's Selection and Implementation of a New ERP System January 5, 2023 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item RECOMMENDATION It is recommended by the ERP/IT Consultant Selection Committee (the "Committee) that the City Commission adopt the attached resolution which sets forth the ranking of firms to assist the City in identifying and implementing an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution providing for a modern, core financial system that integrates with existing Community Services, Community Development and Human Resources applications. BACKGROUND The City currently utilizes the same financial system software that was implemented shortly after the City incorporated over 25 years ago. The City's current system, HTE, is outdated, inefficient and extremely limited as far as reporting, data access and transparency. Upgrading and implementing a new system is imperative and long overdue. Moving to a more innovative and user-friendly solution will allow the City to step forward into a paperless environment, improving processes tremendously as well as, providing efficiencies in data transfers, financial reporting and application integration across all City departments. The City established a Selection Committee consisting of the Finance Director, Controller, IT Director, Community Development Director and HR Manager. The Committee was formed to- - Publicly announce requests for proposals - Provide interested firms with a request for proposal - Evaluate proposals 1 The City prepared an RFP which included detailed criteria for the evaluation of proposals and for the ranking of firms. The City advertised the availability of the RFP in the Daily Business Review on April 22, 2022. In addition, a solicitation package was made available from www.demandstar.com on April 22, 2022. Proposers were given until May 17, 2022 to submit questions. An addendum to the RFP was sent out by the City on May 18, 2022 which answered and addressed the questions that were submitted. Four proposals were received and opened at Government Center on May 24, 2022. The four (4) proposals are listed (in alphabetical order) below- - Avero Advisors - Berry Dunn McNeil & Parker, LLC - Plante & Moran, PLLC - Tech Army, LLC The proposals were reviewed by the Committee. As part of the evaluation process, the Committee shortlisted the four (4) proposals to three (3) firms. All three firms made in- person oral presentations to the Committee on August 2, 2022. After the presentations concluded the Committee ranked the firms in order of preference (listed below) as to the most highly qualified to perform the required services. Committee's Ranking of Consulting Firms in order of preference (with 1 being the best): 1. Berry Dunn McNeil & Parker, LLC 2. Avero Advisors 3. Plante & Moran, PLLC Based on the foregoing, the Committee requests that the City Commission approve the attached resolution establishing a ranking of firms to perform ERP and IT Consulting Services. A copy of the RFP, submittals by all firms and other supporting documents are available for review in the Finance Department. The City Commission can approve the rankings of the Committee or may establish a different ranking. If the Commission chooses to rank the firms in a different order than that which was recommended by the Committee, they must document in its public records the reason for not selecting the highest ranked firm and the reason for the change in ranking cannot be due to compensation. Assuming adoption of the attached resolution by the Commission, the Administration shall negotiate a contract with the first-ranked firm. If the Administration is unable to negotiate a satisfactory contract with that firm, negotiations with that firm shall terminate and the Administration shall then negotiate with the second-ranked firm and so on, until a contract is obtained. At the February 2023 Commission meeting, the Administration will submit a contract for ERP/IT Consulting services for approval based on the negotiations. 2 CITY OF AVENTURA RESOLUTION NO. 2023- A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF AVENTURA, FLORIDA, APPROVING THE RANKING OF FIRMS TO PERFORM ENTERPRISE RESOURCE PLANNING ERP/IT CONSULTING SERVICES; AUTHORIZING THE SELECTION COMMITTEE TO NEGOTIATE AN AGREEMENT FOR SAID SERVICES WITH THE FIRST RANKED FIRM; AUTHORIZING THE SELECTION COMMITTEE TO NEGOTIATE AN AGREEMENT WITH THE SECOND RANKED FIRM IN THE EVENT AN AGREEMENT CANNOT BE REACHED WITH THE SECOND RANKED FIRM; AUTHORIZING THE SELECTION COMMITTEE TO NEGOTIATE AN AGREEMENT WITH THE THIRD RANKED FIRM IN THE EVENT AN AGREEMENT CANNOT BE REACHED WITH THE SECOND RANKED FIRM; PROVING FOR IMPLEMENTATION; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

Wasson, City Manager BY: Melissa Cruz, Finance Director DATE: December 29, 2022 SUBJECT: Ordinance Amending Procurement Code Sec. 2-251, 2-252 and 2-253 to Increase Purchase Threshold from $2,500 to $5,000 January 5, 2023 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Commission approve the attached ordinance which amends the City procurement code Sec. 2-251, 2-25. and 2-253. BACKGROUND The City's Procurement code currently requires 3 vendor quotes for all purchases over $2,500. Rising costs and labor shortages are making it more difficult to procure goods and services in a timely manner with this threshold and has led to delays for multiple City departments. In addition, the City's thresholds have not changed since 2006. A survey of cities in Dade and Broward (Exhibit A) is attached and shows that the majority of cities have thresholds higher than $2,500. Increasing the threshold to $5,000 will bring the City to a more appropriate level and provide for a more efficient procurement process. There are minor, clean-up type changes to Sec. 2-251 and 2-253 which set guidelines so purchases cannot be split or divided to avoid the established purchasing limits. � v _ O > '— N C O N 3 o u p � O 0 O ^ u O O to i c ++ m O O O 0 0 0 0 0 0 Ln .i O "p 2 m � O O O .--i O O O O a?

HORVATH, MMC CITY CLERK APPROVED AS TO FORM AND LEGAL SUFFICIENCY: CITY ATTORNEY Page 5 of 5 CITY OF AVENTURA FINANCE DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM TO: City Commission FROM: Ronald J. Wasson, City Manager BY: Melissa Cruz, Finance Director DATE: October 28, 2022 SUBJECT: End of Year Budget Amending Ordinance — FY 2021/22 11t Reading November 1, 2022 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item 8 2"1 Reading January 5, 2023 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item 8 RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Commission approve the attached ordinance amending the FY 2021/22 budget. BACKGROUND At this time of year, the Finance Department is preparing the City's financial records for the FY 2021/22 year-end audit. Now that most of our year-end adjustments have been made, we have the necessary information to formally amend the FY 2021/22 budget. This "clean up" amendment is a normal part of our year-end fiscal operations and is prepared annually to ensure that the "final" adopted budget contains sufficient appropriations to satisfy all of our actual expenditures. In order to comply with Section 166.241 (4) of the Florida Statutes, the related ordinance will appear on the November 2022 and January 2023 agendas. Although this Section requires all budget amendments be made "within 60 days following the end of the fiscal year," the second reading of the ordinance (as is consistent with past practice) will not occur until January 2023 as there is no December meeting. The ordinance however will appear on first reading prior to the November 29, 2022 deadline. We are only required to amend budgets when a Department's total budget has been exceeded. In some cases, associated revenues may be increased to satisfy the related expenditure overage. Listed below is a summary of the amendments for the City's General Fund, by department and the Street Maintenance Fund and the underlying circumstances that support each recommendation along with the supporting schedule — Exhibit "A" which lists the amendment detail such as account # and object code. 1 General Fund — (001) Expenditures — ($8,837,228 net amendment) City Commission (0101) — ($28,460 increase) 4030 — Legislative Expenses requires a $6,160 budget amendment as the amount given to each Commissioner per month increased in January 2022 by $190. 5290 — Other Operating Supplies requires a $2,800 budget amendment due to the unanticipated expenditures that were not in the originally adopted budget. 5420 — Conferences & Seminars requires a $9,5000 budget amendment due to following that were not in the originally adopted budget: • The Willie & Celia Trump Synagogue Annual Gala Dinner Seats - $4,500 • Aventura Marketing Council Sponsorship Breakfast - $5,000 5981 — Events and Sponsorships requires a $10,000 budget amendment due to the $10,000 Don Soffer Aventura High School Prom Donation that was made via Commission direction. City Manager's Office (0501) ($488,000 increase) 1201/2101/2201/2301 — Salaries & Wages, FICA, Pension and Health, Life & Disability requires a $280,500 budget amendment as the original budget for this line item did not include an Assistant City Manager. The former Assistant City Manager — Finance and Administration was a dual role and previously budgeted in the Finance Department. This position is now fully allocated within the City Manager's Office. Additionally, a full-time Communications Manager was hired in May 2022 and a Part-time Social Media Specialist was promoted to Full-time Social Media Specialist, now titled Multi-media Specialist, in March 2022. All of these changes were not part of the FY 2021/22 original budget. 3492 — Social Media requires a $190,000 budget amendment as the original budget did not include this line item. At the Commission's request, a Social Media Consultant was brought in by the City to assist in the communication division of the City Manager's Office. 5901 — Contingency requires a $17,500 budget amendment as the original amount budgeted did not consider the miscellaneous unanticipated expenditures that occurred throughout the year. Legal (0601) — ($73,000 increase) 3120 — Prof. Services — Legal requires a $73,000 budget amendment resulting primarily from overages in the following areas: • $5,000 related to labor negotiations with the PBA • $7,000 related to the Don Soffer Aventura High School Foundation • $39,000 related to the Miami-Dade School District referendum • The balance is comprised of other miscellaneous matters 2 Finance Department (1001) — ($80,000 increase) 1201 — Employee Salaries requires a $57,000 budget amendment resulting from the accrual payout of the former Assistant City Manager — Finance and Administration who resigned in October 2021.

The fund balance policy of the City states that at the beginning of each fiscal year, the total unassigned fund balance shall not be less than 10% of the annual General Fund revenue. The Unassigned General Fund Balance as of the year ended September 30, 2021 was $24,156,021.
