The Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Commission
City of Aventura
Aventura, Florida 33180
Enclosed herein is briefing on the proposed City of Aventura Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) for the fiscal period October 1, 2007 through
September 30, 2012 and the proposed Capital Budget for the Fiscal period
October 1, 2007 through September 30, 2008. Due to the property tax reform
issue being addressed in a special session of the State Legislature in June, this
document is in draft form and does not include a detailed funding plan. At this
point, this document has been prepared to brief the City Commission on the
recommended five year CIP projects based on a series of assumptions. Only
essential equipment and technology replacements are funded from the General
Fund. All other projects were considered if they had funding sources other than
the General Fund and did not impact the General Fund from an operational
standpoint. Other assumptions affecting the funding plan will be discussed at the
Workshop Meeting.
At this point in the City's history, the need for major capital improvement funding
has decreased due to a very ambitious schedule of completing major community
facilities and infrastructure projects during the past eleven years since the
incorporation of the City. This document represents an update of the CIP that
was originally prepared for the five year cycle of 2006 to 2011. The update
process is important for the CIP to become a continuing and ongoing
planning/implementation process. The last four years of last year's program were
reevaluated in light of unanticipated needs, cost revisions, new project priorities
and the financial condition of the City. In addition, the CIP was updated to add
new projects in the fifth year (2011/12) to complete the cycle. Projects included
within the framework of the program were based on input from Commissioners,
staff, City consultants and citizens.
The following represents the significant revisions or modifications to the
proposed CIP compared to the prior document:
. Added Waterways Dog Park Improvements - $378,000.
. Added Veterans Park Modifications - $258,000.
. Increased project scope and costs associated with the Traffic Video
Monitoring for Country Club Drive - $1,900,000.
. Added Founders Park Playground Replacement - $415,000.
. Added NE 185th Avenue and NE 31th Avenue Road Resurfacing-
$170,000.
. Added Recommended Projects for Traffic Flow Improvements -
$199,500.
. Delete proposed Performing Arts Center at a cost of $10,000,000 and
added a proposed Multipurpose Auditorium at a cost of $4,714,000.
The proposed 2007 - 2012 Capital Improvement Program includes 26 projects in
5 functional categories with a total value of $17,327,909. The following
represents the percentage of total funding that each functional category has been
allocated: Beautification & Parks Facilities (7%), Transportation, Drainage and
Infrastructure Improvements (33%), Capital Equipment Purchase and
Replacement (16%), Information/Communication Technology (17%) and Public
Buildings and Facilities Improvements (27%).
Major emphasis was placed on the following projects:
. Park Improvement Projects
. Transportation and Traffic Improvements
. Stormwater Drainage Improvements
. Multipurpose Auditorium
1,171,000
4,611,500
1,160,000
4,714,000
The preparation and formulation of this document could not have been
accomplished without the dedicated efforts of all Department Directors and their
staff. Their professional efforts have assisted in the preparation of this important
planning program.
I request and recommend that you take the following actions regarding the
proposed 2007 - 2012 Capital Improvement Program:
1. Hold a workshop meeting to review the draft CIP document in May.
2. Hold a workshop meeting to review the final document with a
recommended funding plan in June.
3. Hold a public hearing in July to conceptually adopt the final CIP document,
by resolution, for implementation.
All questions relating to the CIP should be referred to my attention.
Respectfully submitted,

INTRODUCTION
City of Aventura
INTRODUCTION
This section describes what a Capital Improvement Program is and the process for
developing the City of Aventura Capital Improvement Program and Capital Budget. This
introduction also explains how to locate a specific project in this document.
PURPOSE OF THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
The purpose of the Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is to establish a long term plan
of proposed capital expenditures, the means and methods of financing, and a schedule
of priorities for implementation. In order to determine the impact on the City's operating
budget, debt service and the general trend of future expenditures, the City Commission
will be provided with the advantage of a CIP document as a point of reference and
estimated long term budget plan. In accordance with the State's Growth Management
Act, the City is required to undergo this process in order to meet the needs of its
Comprehensive Plan.
The CIP is an official statement of public policy regarding long-range capital
development in the City of Aventura. A capital improvement is defined as a capital
expenditure of $2,500 and office equipment expenditure of $500 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 year.
The CIP lists proposed capital projects to be undertaken, the year in which they will be
started, the amount expected to be expended in each year and the method of financing
these projects. Based on the CIP, a department's capital outlay portion of the annual
Operating Budget will be formulated for that particular year. The CIP document also
communicates to the citizens, businesses and interested parties the City's capital
priorities and plan for implementing projects.
The five-year CIP is updated annually to add new projects in the fifth year, to re-
evaluate the program and project priorities in light of unanticipated needs, and to revise
recommendations to take account of new requirements and new sources of funding.
Capital Improvement programming thus becomes a continuing part of the City's
budgeting and management procedures.
The annual capital programming process provides the following benefits:
1. The CIP is a tool for implementing the City's Comprehensive Plan.
2. The CIP process provides a mechanism for coordinating among projects
with respect to function, location, and timing.
3. The yearly evaluation of project priorities ensures that the most crucial
projects are developed first.
Capital Improvement Program 2007-2012

City of Aventura
4. The CIP process facilitates long-range financial planning by matching
estimated revenue against capital needs, establishing capital expenditures
and identifying the need for municipal borrowing and indebtedness within
a sound long-range fiscal framework. The sound fiscal policy that results
from this process will have a positive impact on the City's bond rating.
5. The impact of capital projects on the City's operating budget can be
projected.
6. The CIP serves as a source of information about the City's development
and capital expenditures plan for the public, City operating departments
and the City Commission.
LEGAL AUTHORITY
A capital programming process to support the comprehensive plan is required by the
Local Government Comprehensive Planning and Land Development Regulations,
incorporated as Chapter 163, Florida Statues.
DEVELOPMENT OF THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
The City's capital programming process began in December when operating
departments were required to prepare requests for all proposed capital projects
anticipated during the period of 2007 - 2012. A CIP Preparation Manual and related
forms were distributed to all departments for this purpose.
In February, departmental prioritized project requests were submitted to the City
Manager's Office. Department Directors were asked to justify projects in terms of
benefits derived, necessity to health, safety and welfare of the City, enhancement to
City plans and policies, need of residents and funding. Projects were prioritized on the
basis of Urgent, Necessary, Desirable, and Deferrable.
The City Manager reviewed departmental requests and conducted individual meetings
with Department Directors. The departmental requests were prioritized and the five-
year schedule of projects was compiled into document form by the City Manager. The
methods of financing and revenue sources were then prepared by the Finance Support
Services Director and City Manager and were incorporated into the CIP document. At
this point, the proposed CIP is submitted to the City Commission and public for review.
In order to facilitate public involvement, public hearings and community meetings will be
held to unveil and review the CIP document prior to the adoption of a Resolution
approving the CIP in principle.

CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM POLICIES
1. Annually, the City will prepare a five-year capital improvement program
analyzing all anticipated capital expenditures and identifying associated
funding sources. Future capital expenditures necessitated by changes in
population, changes in development, growth, redevelopment or changes
in economic base will be calculated and included in the Capital update
process.
2. The City will perform all capital improvements in accordance with an
adopted capital improvement program.
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 year and a value of $2,500 or more, or for office
equipment $500 or more.
4. The City will coordinate development of the capital improvement budget
with the development of the operating budget. Future operating costs
associated with new capital improvements will be projected and included
in the operating forecasts.
5. The first year of the five-year capital improvement program will be used as
the basis for formal fiscal year appropriations during the annual budget
process.
6. The City will maintain all of its assets at a level adequate to protect the
City's capital investment and to minimize future maintenance and
replacement costs.
7. The City will identify the estimated cost of capital projects and prepare a
funding projection that considers revenues and operating costs to be
included in the Capital Improvement Program document that is submitted
to the City Commission for approval.
8. The City will determine the most appropriate financing method for all new
projects.
9. If appropriate, the City will attempt to maintain a mixed policy of
pay-as-you-go and borrowing against future revenues for financing capital
projects.
10 The City will maintain ongoing maintenance schedules relating to road,
sidewalk and drainage system improvements.
11. The City will address and prioritize infrastructure needs on the basis of
protecting the health, safety and welfare of the community.
12. A CIP preparation calendar shall be established and adhered to.
13. Capital projects will conform to the City's Comprehensive Plan.
14. Long-term borrowing will not be used to fund current operations or normal
maintenance.
15. The City will strive to maintain an unreserved general fund balance at a
level not less than 7.5% of the annual general fund revenue.
16. If new project appropriation needs are identified at an interim period during
the fiscal year, the funding sources will be identified and mid-year budget

City of Aventura
amendments will be utilized to provide formal budgetary authority. In
addition budget amendments may be utilized to increase appropriations
for specific capital projects.
PREPARING THE CAPITAL BUDGET
The most important year of the schedule of projects is the first year. It is called the
Capital Budget and is adopted separately from the five year program as part of the
annual budget review process.
Based on the CIP, each department's capital outlay portion will be formulated for that
particular year. Each year the CIP will be revised and another year will be added to
complete the cycle. Capital Improvement Programming thus becomes a continuing part
of the City's budget and management process.
The Capital Budget is distinct from the Operating Budget. The Capital Budget
authorizes capital expenditures, while the Operating Budget authorizes the expenditure
of funds for employee salaries, supplies, and materials.
Through the City's amendment process, changes can be made to the adopted Capital
Budget during the fiscal year. A request for amendment is generated by an operating
department based on an urgent need for new capital project or for additional funding for
a previously approved project. The request is reviewed by the Finance Support
Services Director and City Manager and, if approved by the City Manager, a budget
amendment is presented to the City Commission.
LOCATING A SPECIFIC CAPITAL PROJECT
The Capital Improvement Program is divided into five program areas as follows:
Beautification and Parks (BP)
Transportation, Drainage and Infrastructure Improvements (TOI)
Public Buildings and Facilities (PBF)
Information/Communication Technology (ICT)
Capital Equipment Purchase & Replacement (CE)
Each project in the Capital Improvement Program has a unique project number. This
project number appears at the beginning of the individual project descriptions and the
Summary by Year tables. The first digit refers to functional category priority number
assigned by the City Manager. The final digits outline the individual department
requesting the project. For example, project TDI-1-CS is Transportation, Drainage and
Infrastructure Improvements project number one which was requested by the
Community Services Department.

READING THE PROGRAM SCHEDULES
Detailed information about each capital project is presented in the section titled "Capital
Improvement Program Project Descriptions and Funding Schedules". The section is
arranged by program area and functional category and includes a description of each
project and the funding schedules. Project timetables for each functional category are
indicated in the Summary by Year tables.
The funding schedules are based on the funding needed to complete an individual
project. A project's funding may continue for several years depending on the
development timetable. Each program has a separate Funding Plan Table that outlines
the revenue sources proposed to fund project expenditures.

FUNDING PLAN
INTRODUCTION
In order for a Capital Improvement Program 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 Capital Improvement Program itself but the required operating expenses and debt
service requirements of the City.
In order to ensure that the financing plan is complete in every respect, the plan
formulation process must include:
1. A projection of revenues and resources which will be available to fund
operating and capital expenditures during the life of the Capital
Improvement Program.
2. A projection of future years' operating expenditure levels which will be
required to provide ongoing services to City residents.
3. Once the Capital Improvement Program 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 Capital Improvement Program
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.
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.
Capital Improvement Program 2007-2012
Page 9
City of Aventura
2. The large projects cannot be broken into segments and the costs
distributed over a larger 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 Capital Improvement
Program which includes:
1. A large number of projects having a relatively small dollar value.
2. Projects which can be broken into phases with a portion completed each
year without impairing the overall effectiveness of the project.
3. Projects which are of a recurring nature.
4. Projects where the assets acquired will have relatively short useful lives.
The primary advantage of pay-as-you-go financing is that the interest costs and costs of
bringing a bond issue to market can be avoided. However, if inappropriately used, this
financing plan may cause tax rates and fee structures to increase suddenly and may
result in current residents paying a greater portion of projects which benefit future
residents.
In summary, the choice of the appropriate financing plan will be contingent upon an
analysis of the projects to be included in a Capital Improvement Program.

In order to comply with accepted governmental accounting practices and to ensure
compliance with City Codes and any related Bond Indentures, the analysis and
financing plan contained herein will be presented within their respective funds. Projects
funded on a pay-as-you-go basis will directly relate to the Capital Fund Budget from
where the source of funding is derived. Each of these Budgets will appear in the Annual
Operating and Capital Improvement Budget, which is adopted each year. Those funds
are currently represented as follows:
1. General Fund
2. Transportation and Street Maintenance Fund
Capital Improvement Program 2007-2012

City of Aventura
3. Police Impact Fee Fund
4. Park Development Fund
5. Stormwater Utility Fund
In accordance with accounting, legal and internal revenue requirements, all
projects to be completed with the proceeds received from the sale of Bonds or loans will
be accounted for in a Capital Construction Fund or Stormwater Utility Fund. In addition,
capital outlay for the Charter School is included in a separate Budget adopted by the
City Commission.
SUMMARY OF FINANCING PLAN MODEL
Detailed funding plans for individual funds of the City are enclosed herein in the
following sections. The following represents an overview of the major points of the
recommended funding plan:
1. Utilize "pay - as - you - go" financing through annual appropriations to fund the total
five year amount of $17,327,909. No additional debt is recommended.
2. Utilize funding from impact fees in the amount of $1 ,237,181 to assist in the funding
of the park projects and police equipment.
3. Rolls back property tax revenues based on recently enacted tax reform proposals by
the State legislature.

PROPOSED FINANCING PLAN
GENERAL FUND
After evaluating the nature of the various projects that are included in the City's General
Capital Improvement Program, it was decided that pay-as-you-go would be most
appropriate for funding the program.
FINANCING PLAN TABLES
Based on this decision, the analysis which follows is aimed at developing a financing
plan which will allow the City to fund General Government Services operating
expenditures and all projects recommended for funding in the General Capital
Improvement Program for each year of the program.
Table 1 presents a five (5) year projection of resources which will be available for
General Government Services. Unless shown by an asterisk (*), the amount projected
for each revenue is based on the tax rate or fee structure in effect during the 2006/07
fiscal year. Revenue descriptions followed by an asterisk (*) were computed based on a
projected increase in the rate structure as discussed in the assumption of projections.
Table 2 presents a five (5) year projection of required operating expenses for General
Government Services which utilize the cost data as outlined in the assumption of
projections.
Table 3 is a recap of resources available to fund the General Capital Improvement
Program based on projected revenues and expenditures and the proposed Capital
Improvement Program appropriations for the five (5) years of the program. Please note
that this analysis assumes that all available resources not needed to fund current
operating expenditures will be transferred to the Capital Improvement Program Fund
and that any balance in the Capital Improvement Program Fund will remain in the
Capital Improvement Program. Through this process, the City will be able to accumulate
a reserve which would be used to fund unexpected capital outlays or to fund future
years' programs.

STORMWA TER UTILITY FUND
The City of Aventura is responsible for stormwater management activities within the
corporate boundaries.
In order to address deficiencies and develop an ongoing maintenance program, a
Stormwater Utility Fund was created. The Fund generates revenues for stormwater
management costs, permitting, maintenance and capital improvements from a source
other than the General Fund, gas taxes or ad valorem taxes. The Utility relies on user
fees charged to residents and businesses for generating revenues.
The City has recognized the need and importance of taking a pro-active approach
toward stormwater management. The stormwater drainage improvements contained in
the five year Capital Improvement Program were based on a complete survey of all
areas of the City conducted by the Community Services Department together with the
City's consulting engineers.
The Fund will be responsible for ongoing operation and maintenance costs, as well as
capital improvements.
Table 7 reflects the anticipated revenues available and the proposed appropriations for
the Stormwater Utility Fund for the five year period.
A total of $1 ,160,000 worth of stormwater drainage projects will be completed during the
five year period. The monthly rate charged to users per unit was $2.50 for 2006/07. It is
not recommended that the fee be increased during the next five years.

Park Facilities/Open Space Recreation
The estimated current population for the City of Aventura is 29,451. The City's
Comprehensive Plan recommended standard is 2.75 acres of park and recreation land
for every 1,000 potential residents. The amount of park and recreation land required by
the park standards for this population is 81 acres. In calculating the number of
recreation acres the city has available for use by residents, public private, golf courses
and marinas are accounted for at a different degree depending on accessibility to
citizens of the City. Assuming that public facilities can be accounted for at 100%, private
recreation facilities at 50%, and marinas and the golf course at 25%, the City existing
and proposed recreation areas total 115. Therefore, no deficiency exists under the
City's standards. Table PFOS1 contains an inventory of existing and proposed
recreation and open space areas. The City owns 30.5 park/open space acres.
The major park facility improvement outlined in the 2007/08 - 2011/12 relates to the
reconfiguring two park locations and maintenance projects. The projects are included in
the detailed project descriptions and a funding schedule that follows. (See Tables 1 and
2).
The completion of the five - year Capital Improvement Program for parks/open space
recreational facilities will continue to provide the City residents with a well rounded
recreational and park system geared toward meeting the needs of today and tomorrow.

Citywide Beautification Proaram
In December of 1996, the City Commission approved the landscape design concepts to
be utilized with the implementation of a Citywide Beautification Program. This major
undertaking, addresses median and right of way landscaping throughout the public
areas within the City, and was adopted as one of the City's budget priorities and goals.
The landscape design includes the planting of an assortment of palm trees, including
date palms at the City's entrances and coconut and royal palms on various medians
throughout the City, as well as shade trees such as live oaks.
With this Beautification Program, the City Commission has fulfilled its long-term goal of
creating the signature of the City and establishing its reputation as "the most beautiful
City in South Florida". The actual construction of these projects will be ongoing until all
of the improvements to the various areas within the City are complete.
In 2006, the City funded a Landscape Restoration Program in the amount of
$1 ,500,000to respond to damage from hurricanes experienced in 2005.
The following areas have been completed or are scheduled for completion as of the
2006/07 fiscal year:
Aventura Boulevard, Northern City Entrance, NE 20ih Street, NE 183rd Street, NE 185th

The City incorporated in November of 1995, prior to that time the area of the City was
under the jurisdiction of Dade County. Condominium Associations or Dade County
maintained the roads and rights-of-way. The City entered into an Interlocal Agreement
with Dade County that transferred the jurisdiction of all public roads and rights-of-ways
to the City. In January of 1997 the City assumed the maintenance of all public roads
and rights-of-way. The City's consulting engineers conducted an extensive evaluation
of the City's infrastructure including roadways, drainage, sidewalks and streetlighting.
The study indicated that major improvements were necessary for storm drainage and

street lighting. Most of the infrastructure deficiencies have been addressed with the
completion of the original 5 year CIP which began in 1997/98.
In January 1997, the City Commission by Resolution No. 97-05 adopted a Policy
governing the conversion of private roads to public roads. The Williams Island Road
project was the first roadway conversion to implement the provisions of the Policy as it
relates to drainage, street lighting and safety improvements.
Major emphasis was also placed on improving street lighting and replacing FPL cobra
head lights with decorative lighting fixtures in areas that the rights-of-way could
accommodate the new light fixtures. During the 1997/98 fiscal year the City in
cooperation with several developers entered into an Agreement to construct the North
Aventura Stormwater Collector (213th Street), 3 years ahead of schedule and at a cost
savings of $1,000,000. In 1999 the south collector was completed using a similar
private-public partnership. During 2002, NE 34th Avenue was connected to the north
collector. During 2003, Biscayne Lakes Garden area and NE 29th Avenue was
connected to the north connector. In 2004 the City embarked on the first phase of the
drainage improvements for the Hospital District. The Hospital District drainage
improvements were completed in 2007.
Projects outlined herein can be also be classified as drainage improvements and road
resurfacing in accordance with established maintenance schedules. All infrastructure
upgrades of roadways will be coordinated with other projects to prevent multiple paving
projects or pavement cuts.
