Dear Mr.Wasson:
Legislation passed in 2004 to implement Revision 7 to Article V of the Florida Constitution
provides that the State Attorney may prosecute municipal ordinances only if(1)the ordinance violation is
ancillary to a felony prosecution (s. 27.02(1), Florida Statutes), or(2)the county/municipality has entered
into a contract with the State Attorney for these prosecutions(s. 27.34(1), Florida Statutes).
Enclosed please Ind the proposed agreement -for the prosecution of ordinance violations for the
period of October 1,202through September 30,2023. Please sign three originals and return to this office
as soon as possible. If you desire to make changes to the contract and want an electronic version of this
document,please contact me at donlhom(a)miamisao.com and I will forward you a copy. This contract is
for the prosecution of ordinances only; the State Attorney's Office has no statutory authority to handle
appeals relating to the constitutionality of ordinances. If you choose to not have the Office of the State
Attorney prosecute municipal ordinance violations in accordance with sections 4&5 of Chapter 2004-265,
Laws of Florida,you are requested to send a letter to that effect to the above address as soon as possible.
You will be billed at the statutorily prescribed rate of$50 per hour. Our estimate is that,on average,

Activity Centers, but instead are intended to serve the City's existing and future residents and businesses.
Town Centers are intended to be design-unified areas which will contain a mixture of different urban
functions integrated both horizontally and vertically. Town Centers shall be characterized by physical
cohesiveness, direct accessibility by mass transit service, and high-quality urban design. The development
of each Town Center will be managed through the creation of a thematic plan, which shall outline its major
characteristics and specify the design and regulatory tools necessary to achieve those characteristics. The
implementation Town Centers may be directed through the establishment of zoning and other land use
regulations unique to each zone. Town Centers designed to encourage convenient, internal pedestrian
circulation to provide more efficient land use than recent suburban development forms, and to create
identifiable centers of activity. They shall be designed to create and identify a distinctive sense of place
through unity of design and distinctively urban architectural character of new development and
redevelopment.
Because some Town Centers are proposed to evolve from existing non-residential areas, the proportion of
land given to residential uses will vary over time. However, any area designated as a Town Center should
have the capability of being developed or redeveloped with an ultimate residential population of no less
than approximately 1,000 persons, and a combined density of 13 dwelling units and 50,000 square feet of
nonresidential use per acre. Within Town Centers, a maximum floor area ratio of 2.0 and a maximum
residential density of 2-5 70 dwelling units per gross acre shall be allowed.

RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission approve an amendment to Section 31-21,

Regulations (the "LDRs") to include the definition of HERO Housing and to allow
residential densities up to 70 dwelling units per acre subject to conditional use approval
conditioned upon at least 15% of the project's units being committed to HERO Housing.
This application is subject to the concurrent application for amendment to Policy 2.2 of
the Future Land Use Element of the City of Aventura Comprehensive Plan, as transmitted
under Section 163.3184 of the Florida Statutes, becoming effective.

densities of up to 70 units per acre subject to conditional use approval and conditioned to
the provision of at least 15% of their residential units as HERO housing. The applicant's

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Commission
FROM: Ronald J. Wassorc-4.
City Manager
BY: Keven Klopp
Community Development Director
DATE: June 2, 2023
SUBJECT: Amendment to Chapter 31 of the Land Development Regulations of
the City of Aventura Code of Ordinances by Creating and Defining
"Committed Submerged Open Space", Revising the Definition of
"Open Space" and Amending the Site Development Standards for
Open Space in "Multifamily Residential Districts" Section 31-143(f)
June 6, 2023 Local Planning Agency Meeting Agenda Item 4H
June 6, 2023 City Commission Meeting Agenda (First Reading) Item 6K
July 11, 2023 City Commission Meeting Agenda (Second Reading)
SUMMARY
During the review of a proposed development project, it has become evident that the
definition of open space in the Land Development Regulations, and the way the RMF4
Zoning District regulations require open space to be calculated, need to be amended to
resolve a conflict or ambiguity. Currently, submerged lands may count toward density
and intensity calculations, but it is not clear that open space — which may not be
submerged -- must increase accordingly.
BACKGROUND
"Open space", as defined by the City's Code for purposes of development review, "shall
not include submerged areas".
In RMF4, the open space requirement is "40% of the total lot area".
The intent of the provisions listed above is to ensure that buildings are substantially
surrounded by open space that is well landscaped, accessible, and maintained for
common benefit. The vision of large buildings surrounded by expansive open space is
further implemented by the code requiring more open space as it allows buildings to be
more intense (i.e. more height, more density, or more FAR requires more open space)
However, an unintended consequence arises from the two provisions listed above in
situations where submerged land makes up a significant portion of a lot. The buildable
portion of the upland gets smaller as the proportion of submerged area increases. In
effect, a site with no submerged land has less of an open space requirement than a site
with the same amount of land area if it also contains submerged land. This needs to be
rectified and it can be done without changing the intent of the provisions.
RECOMMENDATION
The following revisions to the City Code would maintain the intent of the code, clarify the
definition of open space in general, and address the unintended consequence of the two
provisions in scenarios where submerged land makes up a significant portion of a lot'.
Sec. 31-21. Definitions.
Committed Submerged Open Space shall mean that portion of a lot,measured in square feet,that is submerged
below water and relied upon in calculating the density or Floor Area Ratio(FAR) of a development project upon the
upland of the same lot. Committed Submerged Open Space is to be identified on the site plan of the development
relying upon it and becomes an integral feature of such site plan. Committed Submerged Open Space, as opposed
to upland open space, does not fulfil the Open Space requirements set forth in the site development standards of
the zoning district regulations applicable to the lot except as specifically and explicitly allowed by those site
development standards.
Open space shall mean any area of land and Fwhich is open and unobstructed from the ground to the
sky ' . Open space
shall include private parks, buffer yards and common landscaped areas.Open space shall also include 50 percent of
the area of landscaped rooftop amenities and landscaped above-ground patios, provided such areas 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 -;;Ir.R- inelud-e- bieyele and pedestFian paths external te- a develepment
.Open space shall not include ,
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. Open space
shall not include areas submerged below water except as specifically and explicitly allowed by the site development
standards or the conditional use allowances within the applicable zoning district regulations.
Sec. 31-143. Residential Zoning Districts.
(f) Multifamily High Density Residential Districts(RMF4). The following regulations shall apply to all RMF4
Districts.
' Underlined text indicates insertions. Stricken-through text indicates deletions.

(3) Site development standards.
g. Minimum open space:40 percent of the tetal lot area used in the Floor Area Ratio calculation.Said
open space shall be unencumbered with any structure or off-street parking, and shall be
landscaped and well maintained with grass, trees, and shrubbery. (FAR is calculated using the
upland portion of the site plus the committed submerged open space and does not exceed 2.0.
The open space requirement is calculated by adding the upland portion of the site and the
committed submerged open space together and then multiplying that total by 40%, but only the
upland open space counts toward meeting the open space requirement.)
i. Floor area ratio:The floor area ratio shall not exceed the following, provided, however,that
structure parking shall not count as a part of the floor area,but shall be counted in computing
building height.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Commission
FROM: Ronald J. Wasson, City Manager
BY: Melissa Cruz, Finance Director
DATE: July 7, 2023
SUBJECT: Ordinance Amending 2022/23 Charter School Fund (ACES) Budget
July 11, 2023 City Commission Meeting Agenda (First Reading)
September 5, 2023 City Commission Meeting Agenda (Second Reading)
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission approve the attached Ordinance amending
the 2022/23 Charter School Fund (ACES) Budget. The total amount of the amendment
is $4,296,200.
BACKGROUND
As we close the ACES year-end, it is necessary to formally amend the 2022/2023
budget to ensure that the "final" adopted budget contains sufficient appropriations to
satisfy all of the actual expenditures.
As a result, the attached document has been prepared by City staff in collaboration with
the ACES Administration to project the final year-end revenues and expenditures to
ensure that any revenue overages and expenditure overruns are properly identified and
adjusted where necessary. This "clean up" amendment process is a normal part of our
year-end fiscal operations and is in large part due to the Referendum Funds that the
City received for ACES and ESSER grant funding.
All revenues and expenditures have been reviewed, analyzed and will be adjusted if
necessary. The explanations provided are not designed to be all inclusive, but rather
provide a framework for the necessary adjustments. Listed below is a summary of the
ACES 2022/23 amendments, explanations that support each recommendation and the
supporting schedule — "Exhibit A".

• Continued learning by ensuring safety and health of students and staff

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Commission
FROM: Ronald J. Wasson, City Manager
BY: Melissa Cruz, Finance Director NkL
DATE: July 7, 2023
SUBJECT: Resolution Adopting in Principle the Capital Improvement Program
Document 2023/24 to 2027/28
July 11, 2023 City Commission Meeting Agenda
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution adopting, in
principle, subject to annual revision and authorization, the Capital Improvement Program
("CIP") for 2023/24 to 2027/28.
BACKGROUND
The 2023/24 to 2027/28 CIP document was reviewed in detail at the June 15, 2023 City
Commission Workshop. As discussed at the Workshop, the Administration has prepared
what we believe is a fiscally conservative operating and capital budget. All projects have
been reviewed and re-prioritized to avoid utilizing any General Fund reserves in balancing
the FY 2023/24 operating and capital budget. Since this is an evolving situation, it may
be necessary to make further adjustments to our revenues and/or expenditures as
outlined below.
During the last three years, COVID-19 has caused major disruption in international and
U.S. economies and markets. With the infusion of various Federal funding programs (i.e.,
American Rescue Plan Act), City operations have stabilized and returned to a "traditional"
environment.
In FY 2020/21, as part of the American Rescue Plan Act, the U.S. Department of Treasury
Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds allocated $18,525,074 to the City.
The intent of the funds is to aid and assist eligible governmental entities in recovery efforts
resulting from the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic. At the time this CIP was
prepared, the City Commission approved the spending plan for approximately $16.8
million of the allocation. Projects such as park improvements, IT software and hardware
upgrades (including a new financial software system), premium pay, radio communication
system upgrades, stormwater drainage improvements and seawall replacement were
Memo to City Commission

included in the spending plan. A listing of the approved ARPA projects is provided for
informational purposes only.
Once the final Operating Budget is adopted in September, this document will be updated
again (if necessary) so that the two (2) documents agree. If you have any questions,
please feel free to contact me.

Office of the City Manager

The Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Commission
City of Aventura
Aventura, Florida 33180
City of
Aventura
Government Center
19200 West Country Club Drive
Aventura, Florida 33180
Enclosed herein is the proposed City of Aventura (the "City") Capital Improvement Program ("CIP") and
proposed Capital Budget for the fiscal period October 1, 2023 through September 30, 2028.
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 both the infrastructure needs and 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 twenty-seven (27) years since the City's incorporation. This
document represents an update of the CIP that was originally prepared for the five-year cycle of 2022/23
to 2026/27. The update process is important for the CIP to become a continuing and ongoing
planning/implementation process. The last four (4) years of last year's program were re-evaluated in light
of unanticipated needs, cost revisions, new project priorities and the City's financial condition. In addition,
the CIP was updated to add new projects in the fifth (5th) year (FY 2027/28) to complete the cycle. Projects
included within the framework of the program were based on input from Commissioners, staff, City
consultants and citizens.
CIP and Budget Implications Resulting from the Coronavirus ("COVID-19") Pandemic
For the last three years, COVID-19 has caused major disruption in international and U.S. economies and
markets. The pandemic had a significant impact on government agencies worldwide. City operations
seemed to have returned to pre-COVID levels; however, the negative impact of inflation and increased
costs for labor and supplies continues. In response to this, in FY 2020/21, the Federal Government has
given the City of Aventura and eligible state, local, territorial and tribal governments funding to assist in
economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, also known as the American Rescue Plan Act ("ARPA").
The American Rescue Plan Act, the U.S. Department of Treasury Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal
Recovery Funds allocated $18,525,074 to the City. The intent of the funds is to aid and assist eligible
governmental entities in recovery efforts resulting from the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic.
At the time this CIP was prepared, the City Commission approved the spending plan for approximately
$16.8 million of the allocation. Projects span City Departments and include park improvements, IT
software and hardware upgrades (including a new financial software system), premium pay, radio
communication system upgrades, stormwater drainage improvements and seawall replacement.
Details of the approved spending plan can be found in the section entitled American Rescue Plan Act
("ARPA") Grant Funded Projects.

The proposed FY 2023/24 - 2027/28 CIP includes 42 projects in six (6) functional categories with a total

Major emphasis was placed on the following projects:

It should be noted that the City and the Aventura Mall continue to work together to design a traffic flow
improvement project that will address congestion on Country Club Drive, resulting from motorists going
east on the William Lehman Causeway. This project has not been included in this document, since a traffic
operations analysis, design plans and construction drawings will need to be prepared by the City and
approved by FDOT and Miami -Dade County prior to moving forward. Funding for this analysis in the
amount of $650,000 has been provided by the Aventura Mall and is available from the Capital Projects
Fund - Public Works/Transportation Capital Reserve.
This 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 conservative
estimates and assumes that revenues and operating expenditures grow at specified levels and can be
maintained at certain percentage increases, respectively. Please note that all projects and assumptions
are re-evaluated every year to account for unanticipated needs, cost revisions, new project priorities and
the City's financial condition.
I am proud of the many accomplishments and the support that the City Commission and residents have
shown in the implementation of the capital projects since the City's incorporation. Our beautification
projects, park and open space additions, Government Center, Community Recreation Center, K-8 Charter
School, Don Soffer Aventura High 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. It most importantly 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 those
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.
I am pleased to submit the FY 2023/24 - 2027/28 CIP document which will be reviewed in detail at the
June 15, 2023 Commission Workshop. The preparation and formulation of this important planning
program could not have been accomplished without the dedicated assistance and efforts of all Department
Directors, Budget Manager and the Finance Director. I am also extremely grateful to the City Commission
for their continued support in assuring that this City remains the City of Excellence.
Upon our collective review of the FY 2023/24 - 2027/28 CIP, I respectfully request and recommend that
we hold a public hearing at the July 11, 2023 Commission Meeting to conceptually adopt (by Resolution),
the final CIP document for implementation. Upon your review of this document, if you should have any
questions or require additional information, please let me know.
Respectfully submitted,
Ronald J. as on

Locating a Specific Capital Project
The CIP is divided into six (6) program areas as follows:
1. Beautification and Park Facility Improvement Projects (BP)
2. Capital Equipment Purchase and Replacement Projects (CE)
3. Drainage System Improvement Projects (DI)
4. Information Technology Improvement Projects (IT)
S. Public Building and Facility Improvement Projects (PBF)
6. Transportation System Improvement Projects (TI)
Each project in the CIP has a unique project number. This project number appears at the beginning of the
individual project descriptions and the tables throughout the document. The first digit refers to the
functional category number assigned by the City Manager and the final digits outline the individual
department requesting the project. For example, project BP1-CS is Beautification and Park Facility
Improvement Projects number one (1) of the requested projects by the Community Services Department.

Operating Impact of Proposed Projects
In the five-year CIP there are no projects that will have a significant impact on the City's current
General Fund operating budget. The majority of the projects are considered maintenance of
infrastructure or equipment replacement and/or purchase. As new computer and other equipment
such as radios are purchased, the cost of physical items to repair equipment and time spent by IT Staff
to do so decreases in the coming years. Additional Software that is purchased comes with licensing
fees that will have to budgeted each year in the future. The new CCTV Cameras planned will
require additional monitoring maintenance invoices as anticipated and included in the budget
document. The Crosswalk Solar Lighting Locations will require not additional utility expenditures for
electric as they use natural elements.

American Rescue Plan Act ("ARPA') Grant Funded Projects
As part of the American Rescue Plan Act, the U.S. Department of the Treasury launched the Coronavirus
State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds (CSLFRF), which provides $350 billion in emergency funding for
eligible state, local, territorial, and tribal governments. The intent of these funds is to aid and assist eligible
governmental entities in recovery efforts resulting from the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic.
On January 6, 2022, the Department of Treasury released the Final Rule which details spending guidelines
for the CSLFRF funding. Under the Final Rule, there are four eligible use categories:
1) Public Sector Revenue
2) Public Health and Economic Response
3) Premium Pay for Essential Workers
4) Water, Sewer and Broadband Infrastructure
There are four restrictions on use of the funds. They may not be used:
1) To offset a reduction in net tax revenue
2) To replenish financial reserves
3) For deposits into pension funds
4) For debt service payments
The City of Aventura's allocation is $18,525,074. This funding covers all qualifying expenditures on or
after March 3, 2021. All funds must be obligated by December 31, 2024, and expended by December 31,
2026. This section includes projects to be funded by the ARPA grant allocation awarded to the City in FY
2021. After thorough review of the Final Rule, staff reviewed the City's operational and capital needs and
compiled a proposed spending plan for the majority of the funding. The spending plan was presented to
the City Commission at the City Commission workshop on January 20, 2022 and approved at the City
Commission meeting in February 2022. The spending plan was amended in April 2022, November 2022
and April 2023. There is a total of 34 projects, totaling $16,768,742 which has and will be funded out of
the ARPA Fund, Fund 101. Total ARPA funds spent at the time this document was prepared is
approximately $6.1 million.
In the following pages you will find a table that displays the approved ARPA projects by department,
outlining the amounts to be expended each year. They are included in the CIP document for informational
purposes only.

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 budgetary 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 less than $5,000 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 the City's capital priorities and plan for implementing projects
to its citizens, businesses and interested parties.
The five-year CIP is updated annually to add new projects in the fifth (51h) 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 an
integral 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 projects with respect to function, location
and timing.
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.
S. 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
Statutes.
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. The CIP
preparation 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 a 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.
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 2023/24 - 2027/28. A
CIP Preparation Manual and related forms were distributed to all departments for this purpose.
rct
In February, departmental prioritized project requests were submitted to the City Manager's Office for a
comprehensive review. 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, the needs of the
residents and funding. Projects were prioritized on the basis of Urgency, Necessity, Desirability and
Deferability.
The City Manager reviewed departmental requests and the City Manager, the Finance Director and the
Budget Manager conducted individual meetings with the Department Directors. The departmental
requests were prioritized by the City Manager and the five-year schedule of projects was compiled into
document form by the Finance Director and Budget Manager. The methods of financing and revenue
sources were then prepared by the Finance Director, Budget Manager and City Manager and were
incorporated into the CIP document. At this point, the proposed CIP is submitted to the City Commission
and the public for their review.
In order to facilitate public involvement, a workshop and a public hearing will be held to review the CIP
document prior to the adoption of a Resolution approving the CIP in principle.
Operating Impact and the Capital Improvement Program
During the CIP process, City staff begins with looking into future needs based on current and future
staffing levels, the community and growth of the community but also inventorying current assets. In
completing the inventory of current assets, the conditions of these items are looked at and the
anticipated need for replacements are assessed.
During the CIP meetings, the operating impact of the submitted capital is discussed, looked at and
reviewed concurrently. First year costs of capital and operating are looked at along with the future years
continued impact of any operating costs to be incurred. Projects labeled replacements, upgrades and
renovations allow for more efficient and streamlined daily operations. Additional utility
expenditures/expenses as well as personnel costs and maintenance costs are examined with all projects.
While some projects may have a net effect on operating costs or decrease them, others will increase the
operating costs.

Capital Improvement Program Policies
1. Annually, the City will prepare a five-year CIP analyzing all anticipated capital expenditures and
identifying associated funding sources. Future capital expenditures necessitated by changes
in population, 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 the 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.
S. 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 CIP 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 transportation, 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 unassigned General Fund Fund Balance at a level not less than
10% of the annual General Fund revenue.
16. If new project appropriation needs are identified for a specific capital project(s) at an interim
period during the fiscal year, the funding sources will be identified and budget amendment will
be utilized to provide formal budgetary authority.

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 expenditures 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 a pay-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.
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
81
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 - 001
2. Transportation and Street Maintenance Fund - 120
3. Citizens' Independent Transportation Trust (CITT) Fund - 121
4. Building Fund - 164
S. Charter School Fund ("ACES") -190
6. Don Soffer Aventura High School Fund ("DSAHS") - 191
7. Capital Projects Fund - 392
8. Stormwater Utility Fund - 410
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 ACES and DSAHS are included in separate
Budgets previously 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. Utilizes "pay-as-you-go" financing through annual appropriations to fund the five-year amount of
$20,372,076.
2. Adjusts ad valorem tax revenues based on projected conservative growth in assessments.

Funding Schedules
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 area has
a separate Funding Plan Table that outlines the revenue sources proposed to fund project expenditures.
General Fund - 001
After evaluating the nature of the various projects that are included in the City's General Fund CIP, it was
decided that pay-as-you-go financing would be the most appropriate method 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 Fund CIP for each year of the program.
Projection of Available Resources for General Government Services - Summary by Year
Presents a five-year projection of available resources 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 FY 2022/23. Revenue descriptions followed by an asterisk (*) were computed based on a projected
increase in the rate structure as outlined in the Revenue Assumptions Utilized for Projections section
immediately following the Table.
Projection of Operating Expenditures for General Government Services - Summary by Year
Presents a five-year projection of required operating expenditures for General Government Services
which utilize the cost data as outlined in the Operating Expenditure Assumptions Utilized for
Projections section immediately following the Table.
Combined Summary of Projected Available Resources and Operating Expenditures for General
Government Services - by Year
Is a recap of resources available to fund the General Fund CIP based on projected revenues and
expenditures and the proposed CIP appropriations for the five (S) years of the program. Please note that
this analysis assumes that all available resources not needed to fund current operating expenditures may
be transferred to the General Fund Capital Reserves which could be used to fund unexpected capital
outlays or to fund future years' programs.

Stormwater Utility Fund - 410
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. The Utility relies
on user fees charged to residents and businesses for generating revenues.
A total of $3,285,000 from this fund will be utilized to fund the stormwater drainage
improvement projects during the five-year period. The City's Stormwater Utility Fee is $3.50/ERU but
will continue to be monitored to see if any adjustments may be necessary in order to sustain the
fund's projected future operating and capital expenditures.
