Enclosed herein is the proposed City of Aventura Capital Improvement Program
__ (CIP) for the Fiscal period October 1, 1997 through September 30, 2002 and the
proposed Capital Budget for the Fiscal period October 1, 1997 through
September 30, 1998.
This preparation of this document represents a first for the City of Aventura: a
long - term plan of proposed capital expenditures, the means and methods of
_ financing, and a schedule of priorities for implementation. It is important to
highlight that the CIP 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 on the City's operating budget, debt service and the general trend of
future expenditures, the City Council and residents will be provided with the
advantage of a CIP document as a point of reference and estimated long term
- budget plan. Projects included within the framework of the program were based
on input from Councilmembers, staff, City consultants and citizen surveys.
- as a newly incorporated City, the primary goal of this Capital Improvement
Program is to address the necessary overall improvements to the City long
neglected by Dade County. 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.
Each year the CIP document will be updated and an additional fiscal year will be
added to complete the cycle. The CIP thus becomes a continuing and ongoing
process.

- The proposed 1997 - 2002 Capital Improvement Program includes 25 projects in
5 functional categories with a total value of $28,823,638. The following
represents the percentage of total funding that each functional category has been
- allocated: Roadway, Drainage and Infrastructure Improvements (36%),
Beautification & Parks Facilities (29%), Public Buildings and Facilities
Improvements (28%), Capital Equipment Purchase and Replacement (5%) and
- Communications and Computers (3%).
Major emphasis was placed on the following projects:
-" · Stormwater Drainage Improvements $7,125,000
· Government Center, Police Station & Cultural Facility $8,000,000
· Citywide Beautification Improvements $6,417,000
· Road & Safety Improvements $3,281,000
· Aventura's Founders Park Development $1,700,000
Two areas of improvements still need to be investigated in future ClP documents.
A study to address improving the internal roadways south of Lehman Causeway
_ for better traffic circulation was not completed at the time this document was
formulated. As part of the Comprehensive Plan preparation process vacant
property should be evaluated for possible future park sites and inclusion in the
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 expenditure increases can be maintained at certain percentage
- increases and revenues increases at a certain rate.
It is significant to note that the funding plan has little financial impact on residents
and the community. Based on the proposed funding plan it is anticipated that the
City's Ad Valorem tax rate will not be increased dudng the five year plan unless
operating expenditures increase at a higher level than expected, unanticipated
- events reduce key revenue sources, or an unforeseen emergency occurs.
The implementation and funding of the ClP will provide the necessary physical
- improvements to the City to enhance the City and its overall quality for the
residents. Importantly, it will be utilized to establish an ongoing mechanism to
address the City's infrastructure needs. With the adoption and implementation of
- the CIP the residents and City council can fulfill its long term goal of creating the
signature of the City and establishing its reputation as" the most beautiful City in
South Florida"
I am proud of the many accomplishments and the support the City Council and
residents have shown in the implementation of the various municipal services
- since the incorporation of the City. The City of Aventura's progress and
development continues at a record setting pace while emphasizing a
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 and secretarial personnel. Their professional efforts have assisted in the
preparation of this important planning program.
- I request and recommend that you take the following action regarding the
proposed 1997 - 2002 Capital Improvement Program:
- 1. Transmit copies of the CIP document to the public and hold a series of
public input meetings.
- 2. Hold a CIP workshop to review the public's input, proposed programs, set
priorities and review funding options.
3. Hold a public hearing to conceptually adopt the final CIP document, by
resolution, for implementation.
All questions relating to the CIP should be referred to my attention.

INTRODUCTION
City of Aventura
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 Council will
be provided with the advantage of a CIP document as a point of reference and l
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 cfi
~mprovernents, 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 it 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 1997-2002 Page I
City ofAventura
4. The CIP process facilitates long-range financial planning by matching i
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 Council.
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, 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 1997 -2002. 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 ClP document. At
this point, the proposed CIP is submitted to the City Council and public for review.
In order to facilitate public involvement, several public headngs 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 Council 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. Total aggregate amount of outstanding general obligation bonds shall not
.. exceed 10% of the total assessed value of the City of Aventura.
11. The City will maintain ongoing maintenance schedules relating to road,
sidewalk, drainage and utility system improvements.
_ 12. The City will address and prioritize infrastructure needs on the basis of
protecting the health, safety and welfare of the community.
13. A CIP preparation calendar shall be established and adhered to.
_ 14. Capital projects will conform to the City's Comprehensive Plan.
15. Long-term borrowing will not be used to fund current operations or normal
maintenance.
- 16. 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.
Capital Improvement Program 1997-2002 Page 3
City of Aventura
17. 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
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,
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 Council.
LOCATING A SPECIFIC CAPITAL PROJECT
The Capital Improvement Program is divided into five program areas as follows:
Beautification and Parks (BP)
Roads, Drainage and Infrastructure Improvements (RDI)
Public Buildings and Facilities (BI)
Communications and Computers (CC)
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 RDI-1-CS is Roads, 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
Ci~ of Aventura
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 1997-2002 Page 9
City ofAventura
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
;hared by future residents who will benefit from the projects.
n 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 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
ire currently represented as follows:
1. General Fund
2. Police Impact Fee Fund
capital Improvement Program 1997-2002 Page 10
City of Aventura
- 3. Park Development Fund
4. Stormwater Utility Fund
5. Bond Construction Fund
- Additionally, in accordance with accounting, legal and internal revenue requirements all
projects to be completed with the proceeds received from the sale of Bonds in the future
will be accounted for in a separate Capital Construction 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 maior points of the
recommended funding plan:
1. Utilize "pay - as - you - go" financing through annual appropriations to fund
$15,723,623 of the total five year amount of $28,823,638.
2. Issue long term revenue bond debt in the amount of $13,900,000 to finance the
purchase of the park site, government center/police station and cultural center. The
annual debt service payment of $1,350,00 will be paid from Utility Tax proceeds.
_ 3. Issue long term revenue bond for Stormwater drainage improvements in the amount
of $5,500,000. The annual debt service of $515,000 will be paid from the proceeds
of the Stormwater Utility fees.
4. No increase in the ad valorem tax rate is proposed over the five year plan.
_ 5. Financing plan assumes the City will receive $1,000,000 per year from FPL
franchise fees from Dade County beginning in fiscal year 1998/99.
- 6. Utilize funding from Florida Department of Transportation in the amount $1,938,000
to supplement the City's Beatification plans on Biscayne Blvd.
- 7. Utilize funding from impact fees (Park Development Fund and Police Impact Fee
Fund) and developer contributions in the amount of $2,351,132 to assist in the
funding of Aventura Founders Park, streetlighting, beautification plans and police
-~ equipment.

PROPOSED FINANCING PLAN
GENERAL CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
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 Financin.q
It has been determined that those projects as shown on the Long Term Financing
Action Plan will be financed through the issuance of revenue bonds. 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 the current and
future resident 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 I presents a five (5) year projection of resources which will be available for
~--~neral 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 1996/97
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 1997-2002 Page 12
City of Aventura
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
/ears' 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, it is not anticipated that any increase in ad
valorem taxes will be necessary dudng the duration of the program 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 period. It
should be made clear that the funding plan is based on a series of projections
and assumptions. If events occur that revise the projections and assumptions,
-' the financing plan will have to be updated and amended.

PROPOSED FINANCING PLAN
PARK DEVELOPMENT FUND
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. The City is currently
operating under the Dade County Comprehensive Plan, which outlines level of service
requirements for parks and open space. When the City adopts its own Comprehensive
Plan additional park and open space requirements may be identified. For purposes of
this five year plan, impact fees relating to current projects are included as a funding
source, although other funds may be available in the future.
Therefore, during the five-year period it is projected that $1,017,000 will be generated
from impact fees. The following represents a review of the sources that the fees are
derived from:
Due from County: $217,000
Aventura Lakes Project: $700,000
Hidden Bay $100,000
Table 5 reflects the anticipated revenues available and the proposed appropriations for
these fund for the five year period.

STORMWATER UTILITY FUND
The City of Aventura is responsible for stormwater management activities within the
corporate boundaries. Dade County was responsible for stormwater facility constriction
operation and maintenance 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 reside.nts 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 mainten~_nce costs, as well as
capital improvements. The yeady 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 $5,500,000 revenue bond will be
required to be issued in 1999 to fund capital improvements during a portion of the five
year period.
A total of $7,125,000 worth of stormwater drainage projects will be completed during the
five year period. This includes $400,000 of developer constructed improvements. The
annual monthly rate charged to users per unit will remain $2.00 for 1997/98. It will
increase to $2.50 for 1998/99 and $3.00 thereafter.

- inventory of existing and proposed park sites. The City owns 16.5 park/opens space
acres. A deficiency of 39 acres currently exists.
The preparation of the City's Comprehensive Plan will address implementation
strategies to address future park sites and requirements. Future ClP documents will
contain projects to address the deficiency in providing the required level of service
-- contained in the Comprehensive Plan.
The major park facility improvement outlined in the 1997/98 - 2001/02 relate to the
-- development of Aventura Founders Parks. 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 provide the City residents with a well rounded recreational and
park system geared toward meeting the needs of today and tomorrow. This program
- will also begin to address the deficiency in providing the required level of service
contained in the Comprehensive Plan.

Citywide Beautification Program
In December of 1996, the City Council approved the landscape design concepts to be
utilized with the implementation of a Citywide Beautification Program. This major
undertaking, which addresses median and right of way landscaping throughout the
public areas within the City, was adopted as one of the City's budget priorities and
- goals. The landscap~ 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
Capital Improvement Program 1997-2002 Page 25

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 Council can fulfill 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. 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, Drainafle and Infrastructure Improvemen~
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 iurisdiction 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 proiects 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 Schnars, P.A.
In January 1997, the City Council by Resolution No. 97-05 adopted a Policy governing
the conversion of private roads to public roads. The Williams Island Road project is
included in this document to implement the provisions of the Policy as it relates to
drainage, street lighting and safety improvements.
In order to address improving the internal roadway system south of Lehman Causeway
for better traffic circulation the NE 185th Street and NE 28th Avenue Improvements are
included to upgrade the roadway. A study to address other internal roadway system
~mprovements was not complete at the time of the formulation of this document.
Recommendations from that study will be included in future CIP documents.
Major emphasis was placed on improving street lighting and replacing FPL cobra head
lights with decorative lighting fixtures.
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.
Funding Plan
Funding for the proposed roadway, drainage and infrastructure improvement projects
will be provided by the following sources:
Total Category Budget $10,405,900
Fundin.q:
General Fund $ 3,105,900
Storm Water Utility Fund $ 6,725,000

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. This project consists of improving stormwater drainage for
all parts of the City via two Stormwater Collectors, one proposed for NE 207 Street
(North Aventura Stormwater Collector), and one for NE 29 Ave. between 187 and 191
Street (South Aventura Stormwater Collector). Both collectors will have positive outfalls
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. Additional projects included provide for the installation of
Capital Improvement Program 1997-2002 Page 35
