The Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Commission
City of Aventura
Aventura, Florida 33180
Enclosed herein is the proposed City of Aventura Capital Improvement Program
(ClP) for the fiscal period October 1, 2001 through September 30, 2006 and the
proposed Capital Budget for the Fiscal period October 1, 2001 through
September 30, 2002.
This document represents the fourth update of the ClP that was originally
prepared for the five year cycle of 1997 to 2002. The update process is important
for the ClP 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 ClP was updated to add new projects in the
fifth year (2005/06) to complete the cycle. Projects included within the framework
of the program were based on input from Commissioners, staff, City consultants
and citizens.
The primary goal of the Capital Improvement Program is to develop a long-term
plan of proposed capital expenditures, the means and methods of financing, and
a schedule of priorities for implementation. The program forms the foundation for
governmental participation in the development process and represents a
commitment by the community toward the achievement and maintenance of a
desirable high quality of life. The facilities and service provided by the City
government are intended to offer the greatest citizen benefit and reflects the
City's identified needs, desires, and financial capabilities.
It is important to stress that the ClP is a planning tool to evaluate infrastructure
needs of the City as well as the financial capabilities of the .City. in order to
determine the impact of the ClP on the City's future operating budget, the City
Commission and residents will be provided with the benefits of a ClP document
which serves as a point of reference and includes an estimated long-term budget
plan.
305-466-8910 · FAX: 305-466-8919
www. cityo faventu ra.co m
Each year the CIP document will be updated and an additional fiscal year will be
added to complete the cycle. The ClP thus becomes a continuing and ongoing
process.
The following represents the significant revisions or modifications to the
proposed ClP compared to the prior document:
· Millennium Park/Community/Recreation Center-S4,500,000
· Waterways Park Development-S6,400,000
· Purchase Property for Charter School - $4,000,000
· Updated Cultural Arts Center cost figures in line with the recent study.
· Eliminate previously proposed increase in Stormwater Utility rate for
2001/02 fiscal year.
The proposed 2001 - 2006 Capital Improvement Program includes 24 projects in
5 functional categories with a total value of $43,315,913. The following
represents the percentage of total funding that each functional category has been
allocated: Beautification & Parks Facilities (34%), Public Buildings and Facilities
Improvements (46%), Roadway, Drainage and Infrastructure Improvements
(11%), Capital Equipment Purchase and Replacement (5%) and
Information/Communication Technology (4%).
Major emphasis was placed on the following projects:
· Cultura!Arts Center $16,000,000
· Waterways Park Development 6,400,000
· Millennium Park/Community/Recreation Center 4,500,000
· Purchase Property for Charter School 4,000,000'
· Citywide Beautification Improvements 3,495,000
· Stormwater Drainage Improvements 2,575,000
· Road, Street Lighting & Safety Improvements 2,285,000
· Improved Radio Communications for Police services 575,000
The approval of the Cultural Arts Center is subject to raising $8,000,000 from
private sources and voter approval for the tax increase necessary to fund the
project.
Two areas of improvement still needs to be investigated in future ClP documents.
Construction costs associated with the Charter School PLC and Elementary
School will be included in the next CIP update. At the conclusion of the City's
efforts to address the City assuming the Library Services currently provided by
the County, revenues and costs associated with this project would need to be
included in future documents.
The program contains a detailed funding plan that forecasts revenues necessary
to fund both the Capital Improvement Program and the operating budgets over
the next five years. The proposed funding plan is based on the assumption that
operating expenditures can be maintained at certain percentage increases and
revenue increases at specified rates.
It is significant to note that the funding plan has little financial impact on residents
and the community. Importantly, it continues to establish an ongoing mechanism
to address the City's infrastructure needs. The proposed funding plan supports
the City Commission's commitment not to increase the current Ad Valorem tax
rate for the next year, unless an unforeseen emergency occurs or the public's
health, safety welfare or best interests are jeopardized. The only tax increase
included in the funding plan is designed to support the proposed Cultural Arts
Center and is subject to voter approval. However, depending on economic trends
that exist in 2005, the necessity for a tax increase in the fifth year (2005~06)
should be seriously evaluated by the City.
I am proud of the many accomplishments and the support the City Commission
and residents have shown in the implementation of the capital projects since the
incorporation of the City. Our beatification projects, the completion of the new
Government Center and many other community enhancements continue to
exhibit our commitment to excellence and professionalism. This document serves
many purposes. Importantly it serves as an aid to the residents in providing a
better understanding of the City's long-term capital needs and how the City
intends to meet these demands. It also details our continuing efforts to address
the needs and concerns of the citizens of Aventura while making prudent
financial decisions which contribute to the City's long term financial health.
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 2001 - 2006 Capital Improvement Program:
1. Hold a workshop to review the CIP document.
2. Transmit copies of the ClP summary document to the public.
3. Hold a public hearing to cor~ceptually adopt the final CIP document, by
resolution, for implementation.
All questions relating to the ClP should be referred to my attention.

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 (ClP) 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 ClP 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 ClP 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 ClP docu.,m, ent 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 Improveme,nt programming thus becomes a continuing part of the City's
budgeting and management procedure~.
The annual capital programming process provides the following benefits:
1. The ClP 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 20Ol-2006 Page 1
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 withir
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,
~ncorporated as Chapter 163, FIc~rida 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 2001 - 2006. 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 ClP is submitted to the City Commission and public for review.
In order to facilitate public involvement, public hearings and commun!ty meetings will be
held to unveil and review the CIP document prior to the adopti0h of a Resolution
approving the CIP in principle.

City of Aventura
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 criteda - cost and frequency. Generally, a capital project has a "usefu
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 includec~
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.
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
p?ojects.
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
p~'otecting 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 o.p~erations 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 intedm period dudng
the fiscal year, the funding sources will be identified and mid-year budget

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
~articular 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
in the coming year, 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)
Roadsl Drainage and Infrastructure Improvements (RDI)
Public Buildings and Facilities (PBF)
Inform.ation/Communication Technology (ICT)
Capita! Equipment Purcha§e & 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 pdodty number
assigned by the City Manager. The final digits outline the individual department
requesting the project. For example, project RDI-I-CS is Rdads, Drainage and
Infrastructure Improvements project number one which was requested by the
Community Services Department.

READING THE PROGRAM SCHEDULER
Detailed information about each capital project is presented in the section titled "Capita
Improvement Program Project Descriptions and Funding Schedules". The section is
arranged by program area and functional category and includes a description of eacl'
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
City ofAventura
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 ClP 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 sh~)uld 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
)rdinances to implement fee structures which will be required to fund the program each
~ear.
)EBT 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 2001-2006 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.
REQUIRED SEPARATION OF FUNDING SOURCES
In order to comply with accepted governmental accounting practices and to ensure
compliance with City Codes and any related Bond Indentures, the analysis and
financing plan contained herein will be 15resented 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. Police Impact Fee Fund
Capital Improvement Program 200~1-2006 Page 10
City of Aventura
3. Park Development Fund
4. Stormwater Utility Fund
5. Capital Construction Fund
In accordance wit~ 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 the Capital Construction Fund or Stormwater Utility. Fund.
SUMMARY
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
$22,215,913 of the total five year amount of $43,315,913
2. If approved by the voters, and subject to obtaining $8,000,000-in private donations
and $1,500,000 in state grants, issue long term general obligation bonds with
proceeds in the amount of $6,500,000 to fund the Cultural Arts Center. The annual
debt service payment of $500,000 would be paid from a voter approved debt service
tax increase of 7.0%, which is approximately $32.00 a year for the average resident.
3. Utilize bank loan proceeds for Stormwater drainage improvements in an amount that
generates $2,100,000. The annual debt service of will be paid from the proceeds of
the Stormwater Utility fees over a five year period.
4. Obtain bank loans in the amount of $11,500,000, which includes the $6,000,000
borrowed in 2000, to fund the following
Waterways Park land purchase and development.
· Millennium Park/Community Center construction
· Purchase of Charter Elementary School site.
The annual debt service will be paid from general fund revenue sources.
5. Utilize funding from Florida Department of Transportation in the amount $1,000,000
to supplement the City's Beatification plans on Biscayne Blvd.
6. Utilize funding from impact fees and grants in the amount of $2,394,426 to assist in
the funding of the Waterways Park, drainage and police equipment.
7. No increase in the operating ad valorem tax rate is proposed over the first four
years. However, depending on economic trends that exist in 2005 the necessity for a
tax increase in the fifth year (2005/06) should be seriously evaluated by the City.

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 both pay-as-you-go and bond
financing would be'most appropriate for funding the program.
Pay-As-You-Go
It has been determined that those projects outlined in the five year program but not
included in the Long Term Financing Action Plan will be financed under a pay-as-you-go
methodology in that they, as heretofore described, represent a large number of
relatively small dollar recurring projects.
Bond or Loan Financing
It has been determined that those projects as shown on the Long Term Financing
Action Plan wifl be financed through the issuance of bonds or short - term loans. As
explained earlier this financing methodology works well with a small number of relatively
large dollar value non recurring projects which generally will exist to benefit current and
future residents during the life of the debt.
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.
Tables 1,2, and 3 reflect the proposed financing plan for the Capital Improvement
Program based on the inclusion of existing revenue sources and the assumption of
projections included herein.
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 2000/01
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
Capital Improvement Program 2001-2006 Page 12
City ofAventura
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.
Table 4 presents an overview of projects included in the five year plan to be financed
from bond proceeds.
SUMMARY OF FINANCING PLAN MODEL
Based on the proposed funding plan, other than voter approved tax increases to fund
the proposed Cultural Arts Center, it is not anticipated that any increase in ad valorem
taxes will be necessary during the duration of the program to fund operations unless
operating expenditures increase at a higher rate than expected; unanticipated events
reduce key revenue sources, or an unforeseen emergency occurs during the five year
pedod. It should be made clear thatthe funding plan is based on a sedes of projections
and assumptions. If events occur that revise the projections and assumptions, the
financing plan will have to be updated and amended.

The Park Development Fund is used to account for revenues specifically earmarked for
capital improvements to the City's park system. Impact fees from new development
become a funding source for future park development plans. For purposes of this five
year plan, impact fees will be utilized to assist in funding the Community Recreation
Center and Waterways Park.
This fund will also be used to account for the grant funding obtained for the proposed

STORMWATER UTILITY FUND
The City of Aventura is responsible for stormwater management activities within the
corporate boundaries. Dade County was responsible for stormwater facility construction
operation and maihtenance prior to the incorporation of the City. The County provided a
very limited level of stormwater maintenance. Many drainage and flooding problems
exist in the City that require major capital improvements.
In order to address the deficiencies and develop an ongoing maintenance program, a
Stormwater Utility Fund will be created. The Fund will generate revenues for
stormwater management costs, permitting 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. To accomplish this, the City contracted with its
consulting engineers to prepare a stormwater management feasibility study·
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. The yearly operating expenses will be made by the General
Fund and reimbursed by the Stormwater Utility Fund as a transfer of revenue.
Table 7 reflects the anticipated revenues available and the proposed appropriations for
the Stormwater Utility Fund for the five year period. A $2,100,000 loan will be required
in 2001 to fund capital improvements during a portion of the five year period.
A total of $2,570,000 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 2000/01. It
will increase to $2.75 beginning in 2002/03.

The Country Club Drive Exercise/Walking Path contains 5.5 acres that is classified
as open space recreation area. This facility is used by residents for both recreational
and exercise purposes.
Waterways Park was acquired by the City in 1998 from a private developer. This 1 acre
site was previously constructed by a private developer. The park is currently under
design for a major expansion.
The Huber Tract was purchased in 1998. This 3.5 acre site was one of the last
remaining waterfront undeveloped parcels in the City. This site will be used for the new
Millennium Park and Community/Recreation Center.

Park Facilities/Open Space Recreation
The estimated current population for the City of Aventura is 25,300. The City'.'
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 69.6 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%, pdvate
recreation.facilities at 50%, and marinas and the golf course at 25%, the City existing
and proposed recreation areas total 106. 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 21 park/open space acres.
Although a deficiency in the provision of recreation/open space does not exist, the City
desires to increase access to public facilities and providing recreational opportunities for
all residents by acquiring and eventually constructing additional park facilities.
Capital Improvement Program 2001-2006 Page 24

City,vide Beautification Pro.qram
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. Many of the trees will be
illuminated and the color of the lights will change in accordance with the changing
seasons. In addition, the project includes replacing the existing bus benches and
shelters with more attractive and user friendly units.
With this Beautification Program, the City Commission will fulfill its long-term goal of
creating the signature of the City and establishing its reputation as "the most beautiful
Capital Improvement Program 2001-2006 Page 25
City of Aventura
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. Projects have
been prioritized according to the construction of the Biscayne Boulevard widening
project. Medians will have groundcover instead of grass, decreasing annual
maintenance costs.

Proposed Road, Draina,qe and Infrastructure Improvements
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, Keith and Schnars, P.A. conducted
an extensive evaluation of the City's infrastructure including roadways, drainage,
sidewalks and streetlighting. The projects outlined in this section have been developed
based on the study. The study indicated that major improvements were necessary for
storm drainage and street lighting. The storm drainage improvements are based on the
Stormwater Master Plan prepared by Keith and Schna~-s~ P.A.
In January-1997, the City Commission by Resolution No. 97-05 adopted a Policy
governing the conversion of pdvate roads to public roads. The Williams Island Road
proje~ 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 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 (2.13th 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.
Projects outlined herein can be also be classified as 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.
Fundinq Plan
Funding for the proposed roadway, drainage and infrastructure improvement projects
will be provided by the following sources:
Total Category Budget $ 4,860,000
Funding:
General Fund $ 2,575,000
Storm Water Utility Fund $ 2,285,000

2004/05 $25,000 ,' 2005/06 $25,000
Based on the Stormwater Master Plan prepared by the City's consulting engineers, the
City has been divided into three major basins; (1) the area to .the south Lehman
Causeway, (2) the area between Lehman Causeway and NE 207th Street and (3) the
area north of NE 207th Street. The following three areas within the City have been
identified as locations of primary concern: (Area 1) west of NE 30 Avenue and east of
Biscayne Boulevard; (Area 2) in the southwest portion of the City bounded by NE 193
Street and to the south by NE 185 Street and; (Area 3) a triangular area located in the
northwest corner of the City.
The Master Plan provided for improving stormwater drainage for all parts of the City via
two Stormwater Collectors, one for NE 213 Street (North Aventura Stormwater
Collector), and one proposed for NE 29 Ave. between 187 and 191 Street (South
Aventura Stormwater Collector). Both collectors have positive ouffalls discharging the
runoff into canals that connect to the Intracoastal Waterway. This will enable the
effective dissemination of stormwater and resolve the street drainage problems that
currently exist.
The North Aventura Stormwater Collector which runs along NE 30th Avenue to NE 213th
Street was completed in the 1998, two years ahead of schedule. This was
accomplished by entering into a private-public partnership with the owners of Aventura
Commons, Aventura Lakes and Gulfstream Racetrack and combining the drainage
outfall for all entities. The South Aventura Stormwater Collector which runs along NE 29.
Ave. between 187 and 191 Street was completed in the 1998/99 fiscal year. This was
accomplished by entering into a private-public partnership with the owners of Champion
Square Shopping Center. Additional projects included provide for the installation of
stormwater drainage systems that will feed into the two collectors and ongoing annual
minor drainage improvements. Most projects include the cost of resurfacing the affected
roadways. Some projects include the installation of curb, gutter, and sidewalks as
needed.
