Cost to change the 42" RCP to 42" HDPE. 2. LF cost of 42" HDPE installed. 3. LF cost of 30" HDPE installed. Reason for LF cost is that the City has procured additional property and will need to extend the drainage scope west. With a LF cost I can get the approval and funding for this work ahead of the final property procurement and drainage permit modification. Let me know if you have any questions.

This Agreement shall take effect as of the date of award by the City Commission and be in effect for a three (3) year period. Thereafter, this Agreement may be renewed for two (2) additional one (1) year periods subject to Agreement by both parties, and providing that all terms, conditions and specifications remain the same. BACKGROUND At the July 7, 2026 Commission meeting, the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2026-45 which established a ranking of firms to perform the City's independent audit. That Resolution was the culmination of a process that included an advertisement of the associated RFP in the Miami -Dade Legal Ad and the posting of the solicitation package on www.demandstar.com on May 11, 2026. An evaluation was made by the Auditor Selection Committee consisting of Vice Mayor Cliff Ain, Committee Chair, Geovanne Neste, Finance Director — City of Hallandale Beach, and Christopher Chiocca, Finance Director— City of Miami Springs who reviewed two (2) firms and subsequently made final recommendation to the City Commission. Resolution No. 2026-45 included the committee's ranking of Audit Firms in order of preference (with 1 being the best): 1) CBIZ CPAs, P.C. 2) Caballero Fierman, Llerena & Garcia, LLP The Resolution authorized the City to negotiate contract pricing with the top ranked firm and if unsuccessful with the next ranked firm. The attached Audit Engagement Agreement contains the scope of services and fees for the City's FY 2025/26 audit and both schools' FY 2026/27 audits with the top ranked firm. The fees have been negotiated and are shown on page 3 of the agreement. Each fee includes out-of-pocket expenses and the cost of drafting, typing and binding fifteen (15) copies of the respective audit reports as well as providing electronic copies of the same in PDF that meet all ADA requirements. The fees are as follows: Fee for City's 2025/26 Annual Audit $51,750 Fee for Aventura City of Excellence School 2026/27 Annual Audit $18,750 Fee for Don Soffer Aventura High School 2026/27 Annual Audit $18,750 Total Cost $89,250 (the total fee under the current agreement for this service is $99,560, resulting in a projected savings of $10,310 in year 1). The Fee for subsequent contract years, ending 2027, 2028, 2029 and 2030 will be in accordance with Exhibit "B" of the attached agreement. Based on the foregoing, I recommend that the City Commission approve the attached Resolution that authorizes the City Manager to enter into the Audit Engagement Agreement with CBIZ CPAs, P.C. A copy of the RFP, and CBIZ's submittal and other supporting documents are available for review in the Finance Department. Should you have any questions pertaining to this memorandum, please feel free to contact the City Manager.

("CBIZ CPAs," "Firm," "we," "us," or "our") will audit the governmental activities, the business -type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Aventura, Florida (the "City"), as of September 30, 2026, 2027 and 2028, and for the fiscal years then ended and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively comprise the City's basic financial statements as listed in the table of contents. This letter encompasses and applies to the audit of the fiscal years ending September 30, 2026 through September 30, 2028. Our audit will be conducted with the objectives of our expressing an opinion on each opinion unit. The objectives of our audit of the financial statements are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. The procedures selected depend on the auditors' judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error, fraudulent financial reporting, misappropriation of assets, or violations of laws, governmental regulations, grant agreements, or contractual agreements. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAS") and in accordance with Government Auditing Standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements, including omissions, can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, they would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user based on the financial statements. Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("U.S. GAAP") as promulgated by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) require that certain information, such as management's discussion and analysis ("MD&A"), the budgetary comparison for the General Fund and major special revenue funds, and various pension and other post - employment benefits (OPEB) schedules, be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a part of the basic financial statements, is required by the GASB, who considers it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate operational, economic, or historical context. As part of our engagement, we will apply certain limited procedures to the City's required supplementary information ("RSI") in accordance with GAAS. These limited procedures will consist of inquiries of management regarding their methods of measurement and presentation, and comparing the information for consistency with management's responses to our inquiries. We will not express an opinion or provide any form of assurance on the RSI, because the limited procedures do not provide us with sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance. The following CBIZCPAS.COM RSI is required by U.S. GAAP. This RSI will be subjected to certain limited procedures but will not be audited: • Management's Discussion and Analysis • Schedule of Changes in Net Pension Liability and Related Ratios - Police Officers' Retirement Plan • Schedule of Contributions - Police Officers' Retirement Plan • Schedule of Investment Returns - Police Officers' Retirement Plan • Schedule of Changes in Total OPEB Liability and Related Ratios — Other Post -Employment Benefits • Budgetary Comparison Schedules • Notes to Budgetary Comparison Schedules Supplementary information other than RSI will accompany the City's basic financial statements. We will subject the following supplementary information to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic financial statements and perform certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling the supplementary information to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and additional procedures in accordance with GAAS. We intend to provide an opinion on the following supplementary information in relation to the basic financial statements as a whole: Combining and Individual Fund Financial Statements and Schedules Schedule of expenditures of federal awards and state financial assistance, as applicable Also, the document we submit to you will include the following other additional information that will not be subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the financial statements. Management of the City is responsible for the other information included in the annual report. Our opinions on the basic financial statements do not cover the other information listed below, and we do not express an opinion or any form of assurance thereon: • Introductory Section • Statistical Section It is our understanding that our auditors' report will be included in the City's Annual Comprehensive Financial Report and that this annual report will be issued within 9 months after fiscal year end. Auditor Responsibilities We will conduct our audits in accordance with GAAS, the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards, issued by the Comptroller General of the United States of America; the audit requirements of Title 2 U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 200, Uniform Administrative Requirements, Cost Principles, and Audit Requirements for Federal Awards (Uniform Guidance), the Florida State Single Audit Act and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General of the State of Florida, as applicable. As part of an audit of financial statements in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, the Florida State Single Audit Act and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General, we will exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We will also: 1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. 2. Obtain an understanding of the system of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity's internal control. However, we will communicate to you in writing concerning any significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in internal control relevant to the audit of the financial statements that we have identified during the audit. 3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluate the overall presentation of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation. 4. Conclude, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the City's ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, together with the inherent limitations of internal control, an unavoidable risk that some material misstatements or noncompliance may not be detected exists, even though the audit is properly planned and performed in accordance with GAAS, the Uniform Guidance, Government Auditing Standards of the Comptroller General of the United States of America, the Florida Single Audit Act, and Chapter 10.550, Rules of the Auditor General. Please note that the determination of abuse is subjective and Government Auditing Standards does not require auditors to detect abuse. Our responsibility as auditors is limited to the period covered by our audit and does not extend to any other periods. We will issue a written report upon completion of our audit of the City's basic financial statements. Our report will be addressed to the governing body of the City. Circumstances may arise in which our report may differ from its expected form and content based on the results of our audit. Depending on the nature of these circumstances, it may be necessary for us to modify our opinions, add an emphasis -of -matter or other -matter paragraph(s) to our auditors' report, or if necessary, withdraw from the engagement. If our opinions on the basic financial statements are other than unmodified, we will discuss the reasons with you in advance. If, for any reason, we are unable to complete the audit or are unable to form or have not formed opinions, we may decline to express opinions or to issue a report as a result of this engagement. In accordance with the requirements of Government Auditing Standards, we will also issue a written report describing the scope of our testing over internal control over financial reporting and over compliance with laws, regulations, and provisions of grants and contracts, including the results of that testing. However, providing an opinion on internal control and compliance over financial reporting will not be an objective of the audit and, therefore, no such opinion will be expressed. In addition, we will audit the City's compliance over major federal award and state programs for the fiscal years ended September 30, 2026, 2027 and 2028, as applicable. Our audit will be conducted with the objectives of our expressing an and an opinion on compliance regarding the City's major federal and state award. The objectives of our compliance audit is to obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence to form an opinion and report at the level specified in the governmental audit requirement about whether the entity complied in all material respects with the applicable compliance requirements and identify audit and reporting requirements specified in the governmental audit requirement that are supplementary to GAAS and Government Auditing Standards, if any, and perform procedures to address those requirements. Audit of Major Program Compliance Our audit of the City's major federal and state award programs compliance will be conducted in accordance with the requirements of the Uniform Guidance and Florida Single Audit Act, as amended; and will include tests of accounting records, a determination of major programs in accordance with the Uniform Guidance, Florida Single Audit Act and other procedures we consider necessary to enable us to express such an opinion on major federal and state award program compliance and to render the required reports. We cannot provide assurance that an unmodified opinion on compliance will be expressed. Circumstances may arise in which it is necessary for us to modify our opinion or withdraw from the engagement. The Uniform Guidance and the Florida Single Audit Act requires that we also plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether material noncompliance with applicable laws and regulations, the provisions of contracts and grant agreements applicable to major federal and state award programs, and the applicable compliance requirements occurred, whether due to fraud or error, and express an opinion on the entity's compliance based on the audit. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not absolute assurance and therefore is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with GAAS, Government Auditing Standards, the Uniform Guidance, and the Florida Single Audit Act, will always detect material noncompliance when it exists. The risk of not detecting material noncompliance resulting from fraud is higher than for that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Noncompliance with the compliance requirements is considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that, individually or in the aggregate, it would influence the judgment made by a reasonable user of the report on compliance about the entity's compliance with the requirements of the federal and state programs as a whole. As part of a compliance audit in accordance with GAAS and in accordance with Government Auditing Standards, and in accordance with the Florida Single Audit Act, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also identify and assess the risks of material noncompliance, whether due to fraud or error, and design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks. Our procedures will consist of determining major federal and state programs and, performing the applicable procedures described in the U.S. Office of Management and Budget OMB Compliance Supplement for the types of compliance requirements that could have a direct and material effect on each of the City's major programs, and performing such other procedures as we consider necessary in the circumstances. The purpose of those procedures will be to express an opinion on the entity's compliance with requirements applicable to each of its major programs in our report on compliance issued pursuant to the Uniform Guidance and the Florida Single Audit Act. Also, as required by the Uniform Guidance and the Florida Single Audit Act, we will obtain an understanding of the City's internal control over compliance relevant to the audit in order to design and perform tests of controls to evaluate the effectiveness of the design and operation of controls that we consider relevant to preventing or detecting material noncompliance with compliance requirements applicable to each of the City's major federal and state award programs. Our tests will be less in scope than would be necessary to render an opinion on these controls and, accordingly, no opinion will be expressed in our report. However, we will communicate to you, regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses in internal control over compliance that we have identified during the audit. We will issue a report on compliance that will include an opinion or disclaimer of opinion regarding the entity's major federal and state award programs, and a report on internal controls over compliance that will report any significant deficiencies and material weaknesses identified; however, such report will not express an opinion on internal control. MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITIES Our audit will be conducted on the basis that management and, when appropriate, those charged with governance acknowledge and understand that they have responsibility: 1. For the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP; 2.

As part of our audit process, we will request from management and, when appropriate, those charged with governance, written confirmation concerning representations made to us in connection with the audit. We understand that your employees will prepare all confirmations we request and will locate any documents or invoices selected by us for testing. Management is responsible for all management decisions and performing all management functions including critical judgments and conclusions, and for designating an individual, preferably from senior management, with suitable skill, knowledge, or experience to oversee any financial statement preparation services, assistance with the preparation of the Data Collection Form, bookkeeping services, tax services, or other services we or our associated company CBIZ, Inc. (or its related entities (collectively with CBIZ, Inc., "CBIZ")) provides. Professional standards prohibit us from being the sole host and/or the sole storage for your financial and non -financial data. As such, it is your responsibility to maintain your original data and records and we cannot be responsible to maintain such original information. If you are missing any documents or workpapers from our prior years' engagements (if applicable), it is your responsibility to inform us. By signing this engagement letter, you affirm that you have all the data and records required to make your books and records complete. You agree to inform us of facts that may affect the financial statements of which you may become aware during the period from the date of the auditors' report to the date the financial statements are issued. Schedule of Expenditures of Federal Awards and State Financial Assistance We will subject the schedule of expenditures of federal awards and state financial assistance, as applicable, to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the basic financial statements and certain additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling the schedule to the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the financial statements or to the financial statements themselves, and additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. We intend to provide an opinion on whether the schedule of expenditures of federal awards and state financial assistance is presented fairly in all material respects in relation to the financial statements as a whole. Data Collection Form Prior to the completion of our engagement, we will complete the sections of the Data Collection Form that are our responsibility. The form will summarize our audit findings, amounts and conclusions. It is management's responsibility to submit a reporting package including financial statements, schedule of expenditure of federal awards, summary schedule of prior audit findings and corrective action plan along with the Data Collection Form to the federal audit clearinghouse. The financial reporting package must be text searchable, unencrypted, and unlocked. Otherwise, the reporting package will not be accepted by the federal audit clearinghouse. We will assist you in the electronic submission and certification. You may request from us copies of our report for you to include with the reporting package submitted to pass -through entities. Per federal requirements, the Data Collection Form is required to be submitted within the earlier of 30 days after receipt of our auditors' reports or nine months after the end of the audit period, unless specifically waived by a federal cognizant or oversight agency for audits. Data Collection Forms submitted untimely are one of the factors in assessing programs at a higher risk. Group Audit Considerations Our audit will be a group audit as defined by AU -C Section 600. We have identified Citrin Cooperman & Company, LLP ("Citrin") as a component of our group audit. Citrin will be auditing the Aventura City of Excellence School and the Don Soffer Aventura High School for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026. Citrin will act as the auditor for the components of the group and we will communicate to the other auditors our intention to rely on their opinion on the applicable components' financial statements.

Auditors' Report and Reproduction We will issue a written report upon completion of our audit of the City's financial statements. Our report will be addressed to those charged with governance. Circumstances may arise in which our report may differ from its expected form and content based on the results of our audit. Depending on the nature of these circumstances, it may be necessary for us to modify our opinion, add an emphasis -of -matter or other -matter paragraph(s) to our auditors' report. If for any reason, we are unable to complete the audit or we are unable to form or have not formed an opinion, we may decline to express an opinion or decline to issue a report as a result of the engagement. If, in our professional judgment, the circumstances require us to do so, we may resign from the engagement prior to completion. Except to the extent prohibited by law, if you intend to publish or otherwise reproduce the financial statements and/or make reference to our Firm, you agree that the City's management will provide us with a draft for our review and approval before disclosure, inclusion or incorporation by reference of any of our reports or the reference to CBIZ CPAs before such document or information is published, printed, or distributed.

This contract was competitively procured by the State and provides pricing, delivery requirements, and fuel categories consistent with public procurement standards. Additionally, approval is recommended to ratify Purchase Order No. 20260129-001. BACKGROUND The piggyback arrangement will allow the City to purchase fuel under the State's competitively awarded contract, ensuring stable pricing, operational reliability, compliance with procurement requirements, and improved efficiency in managing the City's fleet and emergency fuel needs. The State of Florida, Department of Management Services ("Department"), issued Invitation to Bid No. 25-15100000-ITBv2 to solicit qualified firms for Bulk Fuel, Gasoline, Diesel, Marine, and Biodiesel Services. After competitive evaluation, the Department awarded State Term Contract No. 15100000-25-STC to Pro Energy Fleet Fueling LLC, with an initial term from December 31, 2025 through December 30, 2028. Under the City's Purchasing Code, Section 2-253(2)(b) permits the City to acquire goods and services from a contract competitively procured by another governmental entity as an exemption from the City's independent competitive selection process. Utilizing the State Term Contract ensures that the City purchases fuel under an established pricing structure that incorporates the DTN FastRacks Average Price, regional markups, and fuel -related fees authorized by the State. To maintain uninterrupted delivery of fuel for Police and City operations, the City previously issued Purchase Order No. 20260129-001 to Pro Energy Fleet Fueling LLC in the amount of $250,000. The Purchase Order states that prior fuel expenditures exceeded the procurement threshold and must be ratified by the City Commission at its next scheduled meeting. The attached Resolution includes this ratification. Approval of the Piggyback Agreement will allow the City to continue receiving fuel services under the State Term Contract's pricing and delivery structure, while ensuring compliance with City procurement requirements, operational readiness, and fiscal accountability. Supporting documentation, including the State Term Contract, procurement file, and Purchase Order, is available upon request.

The subject area is generally located east of Biscayne Boulevard to West Country Club Drive and south of Aventura Boulevard to the William Lehman Causeway. This amendment applies to 11 parcels, further identified in Exhibit "1 ". THE REQUEST The proposed Aventura Core Subdistrict Overlay (MUC1) is intended to advance the goals of the City's comprehensive planning framework by reinforcing the Metropolitan Urban Center (MUC) designation on the Future Land Use Map. Applying this overlay to property currently zoned Community Business District (B2) will ensure that areas east of Biscayne Boulevard to West Country Club Drive and south of Aventura Boulevard to the William Lehman Causeway accommodate the highest levels of density, intensity, and a diverse mix of uses within a compact, walkable environment. This approach reflects the characteristics of primary activity centers and promotes a vibrant urban core that supports economic development, pedestrian connectivity, and high -quality design standards. BACKGROUND Location - Extending east from Biscayne Boulevard to West Country Club Drive, and south of Aventura Boulevard to the William Lehman Causeway. See Exhibit "2" for Location Map Size - 85 acres +/- See Exhibit "1" for Legal Description Zoning: Subject Property B2 — Community Business District Properties to the North B2 — Community Business District CF — Community Facilities District Properties to the South B2 — Community Business District TC1 — Town Center District CF — Community Facilities District U — Utilities District Properties to the East B2 — Community Business District ROS — Recreation Open Space District RMF4 — Multifamily Medium High -Density District Properties to the West U- Utilities District Existing Land Use — Subject Property Regional Shopping Center Office Building Properties to the North Retail Plaza Library Fire Department Properties to the South Retail Plaza Hotels Utilities Office Building Government Center Properties to the East Hotel Resort Residential Assisted Living Facilities Properties to the West F.E.C. Railway/Brightline Station Future Land Use — Subject Property Business and Office Properties to the North Business and Office Properties to the South Properties to the East Properties to the West ANALYSIS Business and Office Town Center Business and Office Parks and Recreation Medium -High Density Residential Industrial and Office The proposed Aventura Core Subdistrict Overlay (MUC1) advances the intent of the Metropolitan Urban Center (MUC) designation on the Future Land Use Map by introducing a zoning overlay for areas intended to support the highest levels of density, intensity, and a diverse mix of uses within a compact, walkable environment, characteristic of primary activity centers. Staff reviewed the proposed amendment to the Official Zoning Map pursuant to the review standards of the Land Development Regulations contained in Section 31-77(f) of the City Code as follow: (1) The proposed amendment is consistent with goals, objectives and policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan. Policy 2.2 of the City's Comprehensive Plan specifies that the Metropolitan Urban Center (MUC) designation as described and adopted within the Miami Dade County Comprehensive Master Development Plan may be applied as an overlay within the Business and Office land use category. (2) The proposed zoning district is compatible with the surrounding area's zoning designation(s) and existing uses. The proposed overlay is compatible with the surrounding area's zoning designations and existing uses. These parcels involve a variety of commercial and entertainment uses with several retail plazas and hotels in addition to community facilities. (3) The subject property is physically suitable for the uses permitted in the proposed district. The overlay is situated in an area well -served by multiple transportation modes, making it ideally suited for the proposed mix of uses. (4) There are sites available in other areas currently zoned for such use. This zoning overlay is unique to these parcels; there are no other areas currently zoned for such use. (5) If applicable, the proposed change will contribute to redevelopment of an area in accordance with an approved redevelopment plan. The proposed change is consistent with City and County plans for redevelopment in the area. (6) The proposed change would adversely affect traffic patterns or congestion. The proposed change is not expected to negatively impact traffic patterns or congestion. The overlay is designed to strengthen transit connections, promote micro mobility, and serve as an incubator for innovations in multimodal transportation; this may include the integration of a dedicated mobility hub for autonomous vehicles and future air mobility solutions. (7) The proposed change would adversely impact population density such that the demand for water, sewers, streets, recreational areas and facilities, and other public facilities and services would be adversely affected. The proposed use will not have a negative impact on the water, sewer or other levels of service for public facilities within the City, each project will be evaluated for concurrency as part of any redevelopment of the subject site. (8) Whether the proposed change would have an adverse environmental impact on the vicinity. The uses allowed will not have an adverse environmental impact on the vicinity. Each project will be reviewed by the Miami -Dade County Division of Environmental Resources Management, to ensure compliance with all applicable environmental regulations. (9) Whether the proposed change would adversely affect the health, safety, and welfare of the neighborhood or the City as a whole. The more intensive development allowed by the overlay is expected to enhance safety and welfare within the surrounding area. Requirements will ensure that at least 50% of the open space shall be accessible to the public. This includes parks, plazas, water bodies, terraces, courtyards, arcades/colonnades, pedestrian paths, and open-air transit platform areas improved for pedestrian comfort. 4 CITY OF AVENTURA ORDINANCE NO. 2026-_ AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF AVENTURA, FLORIDA, AMENDING THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP BY APPLYING THE "AVENTURA CORE SUBDISTRICT OVERLAY (MUC1)" TO AN APPROXIMATE 85 -ACRE TRACT OF LAND CURRENTLY ZONED "COMMUNITY BUSINESS DISTRICT (B2)", GENERALLY LOCATED EAST OF BISCAYNE BOULEVARD TO WEST COUNTRY CLUB DRIVE, AND SOUTH OF AVENTURA BOULEVARD TO THE WILLIAM LEHMAN CAUSEWAY; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR INCLUSION IN THE CODE; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

City Case File REZ2606-0002 July 23, 2026 City Commission Meeting Agenda (First Reading) September 8, 2026 Local Planning Agency Meeting Agenda September 8, 2026 City Commission Meeting Agenda (Second Reading) RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Commission approve an amendment to the Official Zoning Map to apply the "Aventura Center Subdistrict Overlay (MUC2)" to property currently zoned "Community Business District (B2)" and "Community Facilities District (CF)". The subject area is generally located east of Biscayne Boulevard to West Country Club Drive and south of Aventura Boulevard to the William Lehman Causeway. This amendment applies to 10 parcels, further identified in Exhibit "1". THE REQUEST The proposed Aventura Center Subdistrict Overlay (MUC2) is intended to advance the goals of the City's comprehensive planning framework by reinforcing the Metropolitan Urban Center (MUC) designation on the Future Land Use Map. Applying this overlay to those properties identified by Exhibit "1" will ensure that areas east of Biscayne Boulevard to West Country Club Drive and south of Aventura Boulevard to the William Lehman Causeway accommodate the highest levels of density, intensity, and a diverse mix of uses within a compact, walkable environment. This approach reflects the characteristics of primary activity centers and promotes a vibrant urban center that supports economic development, pedestrian connectivity, and high -quality design standards. BACKGROUND Location - Extending east from Biscayne Boulevard to West Country Club Drive, and south of Aventura Boulevard to the William Lehman Causeway. See Exhibit "2" for Location Map Size - 35 acres +/- See Exhibit "1" for Legal Description Zoning: Subject Property B2 — Community Business District CF - Community Facilities District Properties to the North B2 — Community Business District RMF4 — Multifamily Medium High Density District Properties to the South MUC1 - Aventura Core Subdistrict Overlay B2 — Community Business District TC1 — Town Center District CF — Community Facilities District U — Utilities District Properties to the East B2 — Community Business District ROS — Recreation Open Space District RMF4 — Multifamily Medium High -Density District Properties to the West MUC1 - Aventura Core Subdistrict Overlay B2 — Community Business District U- Utilities District Existing Land Use — Subject Property Retail Plaza Office Building Library Fire Department Surface Parking Hotel Properties to the North Multifamily Residential Retail Plaza Offices Hospital Properties to the South Regional Shopping Center Retail Plaza Government Center Hotels Office Budlings Properties to the East Hotel Resort Residential Assisted Living Facilities Golf Course Properties to the West F.E.C. Railway Regional Shopping Center Future Land Use — Subject Property Business and Office Properties to the North Business and Office Medium -High Density Residential Properties to the South Business and Office Town Center Properties to the East Business and Office Parks and Recreation Medium -High Density Residential Properties to the West Business and Office Industrial and Office ANALYSIS The proposed Aventura Center Subdistrict Overlay (MUC2) advances the intent of the Metropolitan Urban Center (MUC) designation on the Future Land Use Map by introducing a zoning overlay for areas intended to support higher levels of density, intensity, and a diverse mix of uses within a compact, walkable environment characteristic of primary activity centers. Staff reviewed the proposed amendment to the Official Zoning Map pursuant to the review standards of the Land Development Regulations contained in Section 31-77(f) of the City Code as follow: (1) The proposed amendment is consistent with goals, objectives and policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan. Policy 2.2 of the City's Comprehensive Plan specifies that the Metropolitan Urban Center (MUC) designation as described and adopted within the Miami Dade County Comprehensive Master Development Plan may be applied as an overlay within the Business and Office land use category. (2) The proposed zoning district is compatible with the surrounding area's zoning designation(s) and existing uses. The proposed overlay is compatible with the surrounding area's zoning designations and existing uses. These parcels involve a variety of commercial and entertainment uses with several retail plazas and hotels in addition to community facilities. (3) The subject property is physically suitable for the uses permitted in the proposed district. The overlay is situated in an area well -served by multiple transportation modes, making it ideally suited for the proposed mix of uses. (4) There are sites available in other areas currently zoned for such use. This zoning overlay is unique to these parcels; there are no other areas currently zoned for such use. (5) If applicable, the proposed change will contribute to redevelopment of an area in accordance with an approved redevelopment plan. The proposed change is consistent with City and County plans for redevelopment in the area. (6) The proposed change would adversely affect traffic patterns or congestion. The proposed change is not expected to negatively impact traffic patterns or congestion. The overlay is designed to strengthen transit connections, promote micro mobility, and serve as an incubator for innovations in multimodal transportation; this may include the integration of a dedicated mobility hub for autonomous vehicles and future air mobility solutions. (7) The proposed change would adversely impact population density such that the demand for water, sewers, streets, recreational areas and facilities, and other public facilities and services would be adversely affected. The proposed use will not have a negative impact on the water, sewer or other levels of service for public facilities within the City, each project will be evaluated for concurrency as part of any redevelopment of the subject site. (8) Whether the proposed change would have an adverse environmental impact on the vicinity. The uses allowed will not have an adverse environmental impact on the vicinity. Each project will be reviewed by the Miami -Dade County Division of Environmental Resources Management, to ensure compliance with all applicable environmental regulations. (9) Whether the proposed change would adversely affect the health, safety, and welfare of the neighborhood or the City as a whole. The more intensive development allowed by the overlay is expected to enhance safety and welfare within the surrounding area. Requirements will ensure that at least 50% of the open space shall be accessible to the public. This includes parks, plazas, water bodies, terraces, courtyards, arcades/colonnades, pedestrian paths, and open-air transit platform areas improved for pedestrian comfort. 4 CITY OF AVENTURA ORDINANCE NO. 2026-_ AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF AVENTURA, FLORIDA, AMENDING THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP BY APPLYING THE "AVENTURA CENTER SUBDISTRICT OVERLAY (MUC2)" TO AN APPROXIMATE 35 -ACRE TRACT OF LAND CURRENTLY ZONED "COMMUNITY BUSINESS DISTRICT (B2)" AND "COMMUNITY FACILITY DISTRICT (CF)", GENERALLY LOCATED EAST OF BISCAYNE BOULEVARD TO WEST COUNTRY CLUB DRIVE, AND SOUTH OF AVENTURA BOULEVARD TO THE WILLIAM LEHMAN CAUSEWAY; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR INCLUSION IN THE CODE; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

The subject area is generally located west of Biscayne Boulevard to East Dixie Highway and south of NE 209 Street to NE 206 Street. This amendment applies to 42 parcels, further identified in Exhibit "1". THE REQUEST The proposed Aventura Edge Subdistrict Overlay (MUC3) is intended to advance the goals of the City's comprehensive planning framework by reinforcing the Metropolitan Urban Center (MUC) designation on the Future Land Use Map. Applying this overlay to those properties identified by Exhibit "1" will ensure that areas within the Rapid Transit Zone and within a mile of the Metropolitan Urban Center accommodate higher levels of density, intensity, and a diverse mix of uses within a compact, walkable environment. This approach reflects the characteristics of primary activity centers and promotes a vibrant urban center that supports economic development, pedestrian connectivity, and high - quality design standards. BACKGROUND Location - Extending east from East Dixie Highway to Biscayne Boulevard, and south of NE 209 Street to NE 206 Street. See Exhibit "2" for Location Map Size - 10 acres +/- See Exhibit "1" for Legal Description Zoning: Subject Property B1 — Neighborhood Business District MO — Medical Office District Properties to the North MO — Medical Office District Properties to the South MO — Medical Office District Properties to the East B2 — Community Business District TC4 — Town Center Office Park Mixed Use District Properties to the West BU -1 — Business Districts, Neighborhood (Miami Dade County) Existing Land Use — Subject Property Professional Offices Retail Plazas Single Family Residential Multifamily Residential Vacant Lots Properties to the North Hospital Properties to the South Transportation Infrastructure/Brightline Station Properties to the East Office Buildings Retail Plaza Properties to the West F.E.C. Railway Future Land Use — Subject Property Properties to the North Properties to the South Properties to the East Properties to the West ANALYSIS Business and Office Business and Office Business and Office Business and Office Town Center Low -Medium Density Residential (LMDR) 6-13 DU/AC (Miami Dade County) The proposed Aventura Edge Subdistrict Overlay (MUC3) advances the intent of the Metropolitan Urban Center (MUC) designation on the Future Land Use. It establishes a zoning framework within a mile of the transit center to support higher -density housing and urban mobility facilities. Staff reviewed the proposed amendment to the Official Zoning Map pursuant to the review standards of the Land Development Regulations contained in Section 31-77(f) of the City Code as follow: (1) The proposed amendment is consistent with goals, objectives and policies of the City's Comprehensive Plan. Policy 2.2 of the City's Comprehensive Plan specifies that the Metropolitan Urban Center (MUC) designation as described and adopted within the Miami Dade County Comprehensive Master Development Plan may be applied as an overlay within the Business and Office land use category. (2) The proposed zoning district is compatible with the surrounding area's zoning designation(s) and existing uses. The proposed overlay is compatible with the surrounding area's zoning designations and existing uses. These parcels involve a variety of commercial and entertainment uses with several retail plazas and hotels in addition to community facilities. (3) The subject property is physically suitable for the uses permitted in the proposed district. The overlay is situated in an area well -served by multiple transportation modes, making it ideally suited for the proposed mix of uses. (4) There are sites available in other areas currently zoned for such use. This zoning overlay is unique to these parcels; there are no other areas currently zoned for such use. (5) If applicable, the proposed change will contribute to redevelopment of an area in accordance with an approved redevelopment plan. The proposed change is consistent with City and County plans for redevelopment in the area. (6) The proposed change would adversely affect traffic patterns or congestion. The proposed change is not expected to negatively impact traffic patterns or congestion. The overlay is designed to strengthen transit connections, promote micro mobility, and serve as an incubator for innovations in multimodal transportation; this may include the integration of a dedicated mobility hub for autonomous vehicles and future air mobility solutions. 3 (7) The proposed change would adversely impact population density such that the demand for water, sewers, streets, recreational areas and facilities, and other public facilities and services would be adversely affected. The proposed use will not have a negative impact on the water, sewer or other levels of service for public facilities within the City, each project will be evaluated for concurrency as part of any redevelopment of the subject site. (8) Whether the proposed change would have an adverse environmental impact on the vicinity. The uses allowed will not have an adverse environmental impact on the vicinity. Each project will be reviewed by the Miami -Dade County Division of Environmental Resources Management, to ensure compliance with all applicable environmental regulations. (9) Whether the proposed change would adversely affect the health, safety, and welfare of the neighborhood or the City as a whole. The more intensive development allowed by the overlay is expected to enhance safety and welfare within the surrounding area. Requirements will ensure that at least 50% of the open space shall be accessible to the public. This includes parks, plazas, water bodies, terraces, courtyards, arcades/colonnades, pedestrian paths, and open-air transit platform areas improved for pedestrian comfort. 4 CITY OF AVENTURA ORDINANCE NO. 2026-_ AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF AVENTURA, FLORIDA, AMENDING THE OFFICIAL ZONING MAP BY APPLYING THE "AVENTURA EDGE SUBDISTRICT OVERLAY (MUC3)" TO AN APPROXIMATE 10 -ACRE TRACT OF LAND CURRENTLY ZONED "MEDICAL OFFICE DISTRICT (MO)" AND "NEIGHBORHOOD BUSINESS DISTRICT (B1)", GENERALLY LOCATED WEST OF BISCAYNE BOULEVARD TO EAST DIXIE HIGHWAY, AND SOUTH OF NE 209 STREET TO NE 206 STREET; PROVIDING FOR SEVERABILITY; PROVIDING FOR INCLUSION IN THE CODE; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

It is also recommended that the City Commission approve general housekeeping amendments to the following Sections of the City of Aventura Code of Ordinances: 1. Chapter 30 — ENVIRONMENT ARTICLE V. — TERMITE DAMAGE PROTECTION Sec. 30-180. — Termites; development of land; annual inspection. 2. Chapter 31 — LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS ARTICLE V. - DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PROCEDURES Sec. 31-71. — Procedures of general applicability. 3. Chapter 31 — LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS ARTICLE V. - DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PROCEDURES Sec. 31-78. — Subdivision plat approval. 4. Chapter 31 — LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS ARTICLE V - DEVELOPMENT REVIEW PROCEDURES Sec. 31-79. —Administrative site plan review. 5. Chapter 31 — LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS ARTICLE VII. - USE REGULATIONS Sec. 31-145. — Town Center Zoning Districts. 6. Chapter 31 — LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS ARTICLE VII. - USE REGULATIONS Sec. 31-150. — Specific use regulations 7. Chapter 31 — LAND DEVELOPMENT REGULATIONS ARTICLE XI. - DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS OF GENERAL APPLICABILITY Sec. 31-232. — Subdivision and Site Development design standards. BACKGROUND City staff periodically reviews the City's Code of Ordinances to address any necessary corrections, clarifications, or recommendations for improvement. THE PROPOSED AMENDMENTS The specific proposed amendments to the Code of Ordinances are provided in the attached proposed ordinance. THE MIXED -USE RATIO REQUEST The purpose of Town Center districts is to support compact mixed -use developments that increases land use efficiency, promote housing diversity and reduce transportation costs. Mixed use buildings within these districts are intended to reinforce or establish vibrant neighborhoods and encourage walking and biking. These districts are also intended to enhance community well-being by encouraging physical activity, alternative transportation options and greater social interaction while elevating community character and high -quality urban design. Additionally, shared parking strategies are encouraged, further improving land use efficiency. To achieve these goals, a balanced mix of residential and non-residential uses that generate activity throughout the day is critical. However, the appropriate ratio of residential to commercial uses can vary significantly depending on the specific context, location and development pattern of each area. Current regulations pose the following ratio requirements: • TC1 and TC2 districts require a mix within a range of 3:1 to 1:3 • TC3 requires a mix between 3.5:1 and 1:3.5 • No specific ratio is established for TC4 or TC5 In practice, these fixed ratios may not always reflect the needs of a specific development site. Therefore, in order to increase flexibility and encourage context -sensitive development that aligns with the intent of the Town Center districts, it is recommended that the Land Development Regulations be revised to allow conditional use approval for developments that don't meet the prescribed ratios. Rather than requiring a variance, the conditional use process will provide a more appropriate and proactive mechanism to review these cases. This approach will help accommodate evolving market conditions and local needs while maintaining the vision of the Town Center planning framework. BACKGROUND The City's Land Development Regulations (the "LDRs") Section 31-145 together with the Town Center (TC1) District mixed structures ratio requirements were approved under Ordinance 99-09. Town Center Marine (TC2) District was incorporated to the City's Zoning Map upon its adoption under Ordinance 99-10. Town Center Neighborhood (TC3) District, was created and approved under Ordinance 2013-12, including the prescribed mixed -use ratios. ANALYSIS Staff provides the following analysis of the proposed amendment, pursuant to the review standards of the Land Development Regulations contained in Section 31-77(g) of the City Code. 1. The proposed amendment is legally required. The proposed amendment is legally required to implement the requested revision to the Land Development Regulations. 2. The proposed amendment is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. The proposed amendment is consistent with the goals and objectives of the Comprehensive Plan. The intent of the Town Center land use designation as described in the Future Land Use Element of the City's Comprehensive Plan is the design of unified areas containing a balanced mix of residential and non-residential uses. 3. The proposed amendment is consistent with the authority and purpose of the LDRs. The proposed amendment is consistent with the authority and purpose of the LDRs as it would implement further the Comprehensive Plan by updating the regulations, procedures and standards for review and approval of Town Center districts. 4. The proposed amendment furthers the orderly development of the City. The proposed amendment and along with the site development standards of the district will aid in the contextual, efficient and orderly redevelopment of the City. 5. The proposed amendment improves the administration or execution of the development process. The proposed amendment improves the administration or execution of the development process in that it provides for regulations and a process by which to approve developments within a Town Center district in the City. THE GENERAL HOUSEKEEPING REQUESTS In addition to the mixed -use ratio change described above, the ordinance includes several general housekeeping amendments as analyzed below.

Page 19 of 19 CITY OF AVENTURA OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER MEMORANDUM TO: City Commission FROM: Bryan Pegues, City Manager DATE: July 2, 2026 SUBJECT: Commission Consideration of Lien Search Fee Increase June 28, 2026 City Commission Workshop Meeting Agenda July 7, 2026 City Commission Meeting Agenda (First Reading) September 8, 2026 City Commission Meeting Agenda (Second Reading) RECOMMENDATION The Community Development Department brings forth for consideration an increase of the City's lien search fee from $50 to $125 in order to better align with pricing structures in neighboring municipalities and adequately recover administrative costs. BACKGROUND Lien search requests are processed as an administrative function by the Community Development Department to provide information regarding expired permits, outstanding code violations, unpaid fees, and other encumbrances on properties within the City of Aventura. The department maintains a turnaround time of three business days, and typically less. The City's lien search fee has not been adjusted in over two decades; the last change occurred in 2004, when the fee was increased from $25 to $50. Because this fee has remained unchanged for so many years, it is significantly lower than the rates charged by nearby municipalities. Increasing the fee to $125 will bring Aventura's pricing in line with regional standards and ensure that the City is adequately compensated for the staff time and resources required to maintain records and complete each search efficiently. Based on historical data, the City receives roughly 1,560 lien search requests annually, averaging about 130 per month. The proposed fee increase is projected to generate additional revenue that will support departmental operations and offset the administrative costs associated with lien processing. To prevent the lien search fee from becoming structurally outdated in the future, the proposed ordinance will allow the fee to be adjusted periodically — annually at most -- as an administrative function. The increases will be capped by the annual increase in the Consumer Price Index (CPI), ensuring cost recovery keeps pace with inflation.

Page 4 of 4 CHARTER SCHOOLS USA MEMORANDUM TO: City Commission FROM: Charter Schools USA BY: Lechyana Knight, State Financial Director Ayanna Jeffrey, Senior Lead Financial Analyst DATE: July 2, 2026 SUBJECT: Ordinance Amending the 2025/2026 Budget - Aventura City of Excellence School ("ACES") July 7, 2026 City Commission Meeting Agenda (First Reading) September 8, 2026 City Commission Meeting Agenda (Second Reading) RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Commission approve the attached Ordinance amending the 2025/2026 Aventura City of Excellence School ("ACES") Budget. The total amount of the amendment is $604,006. BACKGROUND These amendments were developed collaboratively by CSUSA, including the Sr. Lead Financial Analyst and staff from several different divisions to project the final year-end revenues and expenditures. The goal was to ensure that any revenue overages or expenditure overruns are properly identified and adjusted, as necessary. The proposed amendments have been reviewed by both the City Manager and the Finance Director of the City of Aventura and represent a standard part of year-end fiscal operations. All revenues and expenditures were thoroughly reviewed, analyzed, and adjusted as deemed necessary. While the total amount of the amendments does not result in any change to the originally budgeted Change in Fund Balance, the notable adjustments to individual revenue and expenditure lines are detailed in this memorandum. Outlined below is a summary of the budget amendments, including brief explanations supporting each recommendation. Note that the explanations provided are not designed to be exhaustive but are intended to highlight the most material and impactful adjustments. A detailed supporting schedule is also attached as Exhibit A. 1 OPERATING REVENUE: Net increase of $163,713. Florida Education Finance Program — a budget decrease of ($63,551) is required primarily due to a lower than budgeted per student rate paid by the Miami -Dade school district. Capital Outlay — a budget decrease of ($169,503) is required. This is due to the Capital Outlay rate per student paid by the FDOE being lower than originally budgeted. Food Service Revenue —a budget increase of $88,509 is required. Cafeteria sales have exceeded the original budget. Grants- Federal/State/Local —a budget increase of $73,727 is required. No grant revenues were included in the original budget; however, the school received Title IV and a specialty grant award from the District. Before and Aftercare Revenue —a budget decrease of ($68,644) is required. This is due to lower than anticipated program participation. Other Program Revenues— a budget increase of $109,370 is required mostly to recognize A+ Bonus revenue received from the District that was not included in the original budget. This additional revenue will be appropriated to the Bonuses expenditure account to fund the corresponding A+ Bonus payments to eligible teachers. Referendum Stipends — a budget increase of $133,515 is required as the District paid at a rate higher than originally budgeted. This amendment will increase the Referendum Stipends expenditure account to align with the additional revenue and fund the corresponding stipend payments. OTHER NON- REVENUE: Net increase of $440,293. Advance from the City's General Fund — a budget increase of $472,518 is required to cover higher than budgeted expenditures primarily in the building repairs and maintenance, daily substitutes, and vendor services categories. EXPENDITURES: Net increase of $604,006. Total Compensation: requires a budget increase of $291,857 Tutoring — $40,859 increase Bonuses — $80,123 increase Stipends — $207,581 increase Tutoring— a budget increase of $40,859 is required as the actual tutoring hours have exceeded the original budget estimates. Bonuses— a $80,123 budget increase is required. These bonus payouts are covered by A+ Revenues received and distributed by the City that were not included in the originally adopted budget. Stipends— a budget increase of $207,581 is needed primarily due to the Miami -Dade Referendum and additional stipends that exceeded the budget. Vendor Services: a budget increase of $99,037 is required to reflect higher -than -budgeted operating expenditures. The primary driver of this increase is Contracted Food Service, which exceeded the original budget by $75,204 due to higher utilization of food service operations. Additionally, Pupil Transportation expenditures exceeded budget by $31,079 as the need for double bus runs was greater than originally anticipated. Administrative Expenditures: a budget decrease of ($36,983) is needed and is primarily due to Printing and Business Expenditures -Other expenses that did not materialize during the year. Instructional Expenses: a budget decrease of ($11,044) is needed and is primarily due to Instructional Licenses expenses that did not materialize during the year. Other Operating Expenditures: a budget increase of $293,254 is required to reflect higher - than -budgeted operating expenditures. The primary driver of this increase is Building Repairs and Maintenance, which exceeded the original budget due to several unplanned facility -related expenses, including $97,901 for HVAC maintenance, $24,671 for elevator repairs, and $94,847 for repair and maintenance materials and supplies. Also contributing to the increase are Temp Agency costs of $94,220, recorded under Miscellaneous Expenditures, resulting from greater -than -anticipated use of daily substitute teachers. If you should have any questions related to the above proposed amendments, please feel free to contact the City Manager. 3 CITY OF AVENTURA ORDINANCE NO. 2026-_ AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF AVENTURA, FLORIDA, AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 2025-07, WHICH ORDINANCE ADOPTED THE AVENTURA CITY OF EXCELLENCE SCHOOL BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025/2026 (JULY 1 - JUNE 30) BY REVISING THE 2025/2026 FISCAL YEAR BUDGET DOCUMENT AS OUTLINED IN EXHIBIT "A" ATTACHED HERETO; AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO DO ALL THINGS NECESSARY TO CARRY OUT THE AIMS OF THIS ORDINANCE; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.

Don Soffer Aventura High School ("DSAHS") July 7, 2026 City Commission Meeting Agenda (First Reading) September 8, 2026 City Commission Meeting Agenda (Second Reading) RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Commission approve the attached Ordinance amending the 2025/2026 Don Soffer Aventura High School ("DSAHS") Budget. The total amount of the amendment is $647,281. BACKGROUND These amendments were developed collaboratively by CSUSA, including the Sr. Lead Financial Analyst and staff from several different divisions to project the final year-end revenues and expenditures. The goal was to ensure that any revenue overages or expenditure overruns are properly identified and adjusted, as necessary. The proposed amendments have been reviewed by both the City Manager and the Finance Director of the City of Aventura and represent a standard part of year-end fiscal operations. All revenues and expenditures were thoroughly reviewed, analyzed, and adjusted as deemed necessary. The notable adjustments to individual revenue and expenditure lines are detailed in this memorandum. Outlined below is a summary of the budget amendments, including brief explanations supporting each recommendation. The explanations provided in this memorandum are not designed to be exhaustive but are intended to highlight the most material and impactful adjustments. A detailed supporting schedule is also attached as Exhibit A. 1 REVENUE: Net increase of $647,281. Florida Education Finance Program — a budget increase of $153,009 is required largely due to higher than budgeted student enrollment (35 students) which resulted in greater revenue than originally budgeted being allocated by the Miami -Dade school district. Capital Outlay — a budget decrease of ($114,271) is required. This is due to the Capital Outlay rate per student paid by the FDOE being lower than originally budgeted. Grant Revenue — a budget increase of $86,531 is required. No grant revenues were included in the original budget; however, the school received Title IV, School Hardening and a specialty grant award from the district. Miscellaneous Revenues — a budget increase of $36,534 is required primarily to account for the City's estimated FY26 allocation of Pooled Equity Interest. This revenue was not included in the original budget. Other Program Revenues— a budget increase of $68,327 is required to recognize A+ Bonus revenue received from the District that was not included in the original budget. This additional revenue will be appropriated to the Bonuses expenditure account to fund the corresponding A+ Bonus payments to eligible teachers. Other Program Revenues- AP/RICE Revenues — a budget increase of $187,759 is required as the actual funds allocated by the Miami -Dade school district for FY2025/2026 was higher than the original budget. Other Program Revenues- Referendum Stipends — a budget increase of $174,056 is required to reflect referendum revenue received from the District at a rate higher than originally budgeted. This amendment will increase the Referendum Stipends expenditure account to align with the additional revenue and fund the corresponding stipend payments. Proceeds from Long Term Debt- Lease— a budget increase of $47,226 is required for leasing of certain computer hardware equipment not included in the original budget. EXPENDITURES: Net increase of $425,227. Total Compensation: requires a budget increase of $177,106 Administrative staff — ($114,207) decrease Instructional staff — ($118,506) decrease Bonuses — $139,116 increase Stipends — $232,726 increase Taxes & Benefits — $37,977 increase Administrative staff salaries— a budget decrease of ($114,207) is required mainly due to one (1) less AP and (1) less Dean position, partially offset by (1) additional Guidance position. Instructional Staff salaries— a budget decrease of ($118,506) is required as there were vacant positions for parts of the school year. Bonuses— a $139,116 budget increase is required due primarily to the A+ Revenues the City received and distributed that were not in the originally adopted budget. In addition, bonuses paid to instructional staff for AP/AICE passes were higher than budget. Stipends— a $232,726 budget increase is required primarily due to the Miami -Dade Referendum and additional stipends that exceeded the originally adopted budget. Taxes & Benefits— a budget increase of $37,977 is needed due to the increased elements of compensation cost detailed above. Vendor Services: a budget increase of $54,057 is required primarily due to increased Contracted Food Services of $15,594 because of higher than budgeted use of the service. Contracted Security expenses also increased by $20,679. Instruction Expenses: a budget increase of $35,957 is needed primarily due to Testing Materials expenses. Advance Placement and AIC exam entrance fees increased over the prior year. Other Operating Expenditures: a budget increase of $219,310 is needed. The most significant factor is Building Repairs & Maintenance expenses, which have exceeded the original budget primarily due to several unplanned expenses. These include $120,781 for HVAC maintenance, $22,758 for plumbing and parking lot repair expenses and $59,056 for R&M materials and supplies. Fixed Expenditures: a budget decrease of ($87,610) is required primarily due to lower than anticipated professional liability and general insurance expenses. Capital expenditure: a budget increase of $24,851 is required. Additional Verkada security system hardware and licenses, under Improvements Other than Building, not included in the original budget were purchased. In addition, higher than budgeted Furniture and Fittings replacements were needed. If you should have any questions related to the above proposed amendments, please feel free to contact the City Manager. 3 CITY OF AVENTURA ORDINANCE NO. 2026-_ AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF AVENTURA, FLORIDA, AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 2025-08, WHICH ORDINANCE ADOPTED THE DON SOFFER AVENTURA HIGH SCHOOL BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2025/2026 (JULY 1 - JUNE 30) BY REVISING THE 2025/2026 FISCAL YEAR BUDGET DOCUMENT AS OUTLINED IN EXHIBIT "A" ATTACHED HERETO; AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO DO ALL THINGS NECESSARY TO CARRY OUT THE AIMS OF THIS ORDINANCE; AND PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
