RE: 2008/09 Charter School Fund Budget Message
Members of the City Commission:
In accordance with Article IV, Section 4.05 of the Charter of the City of Aventura, I hereby
submit the proposed Budget for the Charter School Fund for the fiscal year beginning July
2008, for your review and consideration. This budget document represents the sixth year of
operation of the Aventura City of Excellence School. Our goal in the development and
preparation of a realistic balanced budget was to provide the funding levels to maintain the
quality education services for our students whereby lifelong learning skills are acquired.
Budget Format
The format of the budget is in accordance with guidelines adopted by the State and School
Board of Miami-Dade County, Florida and utilizes the school system's accounts codes as well.
The proposed budget was prepared by the City Manager with input from the school
administrative staff and CSUSA .
SiQnificant Factors AffectinQ Budget Preparation
The 2008/09 school year represents the sixth year of operations of the school. Our past has
shown that we can continue to operate the school at a high level and provide quality education
for our students, within the school based revenues and without outside subsidies. We have
also been fortunate to have a strong business community and involved parents participate in
fund raising activities for school improvements.
In order to address the Florida Class Size Mandate Legislation, funding has been included to
provide for constructing ten new classrooms at an estimated cost of $1.6 Million. The
classrooms would be completed in time for the 2009/10 school year. This will insure that the
school will meet the class size requirements of kindergarten thru third grade of 18 students per
classroom and fourth grade to eighth grade of 22 students per classroom. In addition, the new
classrooms will allow an increase of eight (8) students per grade for a total of seventy two (72)
new students.

The revenues have been estimated on the conservative side, based on actions taken by the
State Legislature as it related to school funding. The budget includes revenue in the amount of
$125,000 from the Clear Channel agreement for proceeds from the billboard advertising.
In order to retain and recruit highly qualified teachers and staff, the budget includes a COLA
increase and provides that returning teachers will be rewarded with a service bonus based on
years of service. Once the Miami Dade School Board completes their negotiations with the
district's teachers, the pay plan will be revised to coincide with the Miami -Dade County school
system. In addition, mirroring national industry trends, we will experience significant increases
in health insurance premiums.
In our quest to provide technology to our students, the fourth grade will be equipped with a
"smart board" teaching aide to provide for interactive teaching and learning opportunities. Over
the next three years we intend to install this technology in the remaining grades of kindergarten
to third grade.
In response to the expansion of the school over the past few years, the budget contains two
new positions, an additional Receptionist position and a full-time Substitute Teacher to meet
workload requirements.
The overall budget increased by 23.8%. This is largely due to providing funds from reserve
accounts to construct the additional classrooms. The budget includes funding for lease
payments to the Debt Service Fund to pay annual costs associated with the long term debt
borrowed for the construction of the elementary school wing.
It is important that we continue to maximize the school dollars as much as possible and
maintain efficient use of budgeted funds.
Summary of All Budgetary Funds
The total proposed budget for 2008/09, including all operating and capital outlay, is
$8,410,970. The majority of the budget is Personnel Services at $4,264,803. Operating
expenditures total $1,779,667. Other Uses expenditures, which primarily represent lease
payments to the Debt Service Fund to cover school construction debt payments and transfers
to the General Fund, total $594,000. Capital Outlay expenditures are $1,772,500. The
following chart shows a comparison of the department's budgets for the past two years. Total
costs increased by 23.8%.

Budget Adoption
The Charter School budget is approved via Ordinance at two public meetings scheduled for
May and June conducted by the City Commission. The adopted budget is integrated into the
accounting software system effective July 1 st.

Budget Control/Monitoring
Funds appropriated in the Budget may be expended by and with the approval of the City
Manager in accordance with the provisions of the City Charter and applicable law. Funds of the
City shall be expended in accordance with the appropriations provided in the Budget and shall
constitute an appropriation of the amounts specified therein. Supplemental appropriations or the
reduction of appropriations, if any, shall be made in accordance with Section 4.07 of the City
Charter.
The Budget establishes a limitation on expenditures by department total. Said limitation requires
that the total sum allocated to the Charter School department for operating and capital expenses
may not be increased or decreased without specific authorization by a duly-enacted Resolution
affecting such amendment or transfer. Therefore, the City Manager may authorize transfers from
one individual line item account to another, so long as the line item accounts are within the same
department and fund.

The "Personnel Allocation Summary" enumerates all authorized budgeted positions. However,
the City Manager may amend said authorized budgeted positions in order to address the
operating needs of the department so long as sufficient budgeted funds are available.
The budget is monitored on a monthly basis to track variances between actual and budgeted
amounts. Significant variances are investigated and monitored for corrective action. Quarterly
review meetings are held with the Principal and City Manager.
Encumbrances do not constitute expenditures or liabilities in the current year, but instead are
defined as commitments related to unperformed contracts for goods or services, which are
only reported in governmental funds.
Budget Amendment
Upon the passage and adoption of the Charter School Fund Budget for the City of Aventura, if the
City Manager determines that the department total will exceed its original appropriation, the City
Manager is authorized to prepare such Resolutions for consideration by the City Commission as
may be necessary and proper to modify any line item from the Budget.
Basis of Accounting
Basis of Accounting refers to the time period when revenues and expenditures are recognized in
the accounts and reported on the financial statements. Basis of accounting relates to the timing
of the measurements made, regardless of the measurement focus applied.
The accrual basis of accounting is followed for the proprietary fund types. The modified accrual
basis of accounting is followed in the governmental fund types and the expendable trust funds
type. Under the modified accrual basis of accounting, revenues are recorded when susceptible to
accrual, that is, when they are both measurable and available. Available means collectible within
the current period or soon enough thereafter to pay current liabilities. Expenditures are generally
recognized under the modified accrual accounting when the related fund liability is incurred.
Exceptions to the general rule are principal and interest on general long-term debt which is
