~ -
ven tein~Chiefcl Pclice
TO:
DATE:
5 May, 2008
SUBJECT:
Use of Forfeiture Funds
Florida State Statute 932.704 requires that money resulting from forfeitures be
maintained in a special law enforcement trust fund, and that the funds be
expended only upon request of the Chief of Police to the governing body of the
municipality and approval of the governing body.
I am requesting City Commission approval for the expenditure of:
E-911 Enhancements
Crowd Control Equipment
$75,000
$35,000
Total Expenditure Request:
$110,000
I certify that this requested expenditure complies with Florida State Statute
932.704 in that:
1. Funds will be used for an appropriate law enforcement purpose.
2. Funds are not being used as a normal source of revenue for the
Police Department.
3. Funds were not considered in the adoption and approval of the budget
of the Police Department.
Summary
E911 Enhancement - - This request would cover up to $75,000 towards the
cost of software, hardware and other items needed to enhance our current E911
system. These enhancements would give our E911 system a direct interface
with the Miami-Dade County Fire E911 system eliminating the need for phone
communication between our agencies as is currently being done. It would
transmit "real time" data directly to the Miami-Dade Fire department system.
This enhancement would also allow "real time" data to be transmitted directly to
the responding Fire Rescue units via their mobile in vehicle computers.
Crowd Control Equipment - This equipment purchase would supply crowd
control equipment to each sworn officer within the agency. The equipment would
consist of helmets, shields, batons and chemical agents that would allow officers
to respond to crowd and/or riot situations with proper protective equipment.

RECOMMENDATION
Based upon information provided by the Police Department, it is recommended that the
City Commission adopt an Ordinance to create a mechanism which permits the City to
recover the costs incurred by the Police Department, including costs incurred in
responding to a suspected crime scene, investigating and reporting suspected crime,
apprehending and/or transporting persons accused of committing crimes, and assisting
the prosecuting authorities in connection with the prosecution of crime, in those
circumstances in which criminal prosecutions are abandoned, dismissed or fail as a
direct result of the failure of the responsible person of a business establishment to

This Ordinance, by the creation of a cost recovery mechanism, will serve to mitigate the
financial harm which is caused to City law enforcement resources by the failure of
responsible persons to appear as required by law.

MEMORANDUM
TO: City Commission
FROM: Eric M. Soroka, ICMA-CM, City
BY: ~~fian K. Raducci, Finance Su
DATE: April 17, 2008
Director
SUBJECT: Adoption of a Reclassification and Revision Ordinance that governs
the City's Local Business Tax Receipt process
1st Reading May 6, 2008 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item ~
2nd Reading June 3, 2008 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item ~
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Reclassification and
Revision Ordinance that governs the City's Local Business Tax Receipt process.
BACKGROUND
In 2007, the Florida Legislature passed a law permitting local governments to reclassify
and restructure the rates of Local Business Tax Receipts. In order to adopt a
reclassification and revision ordinance that governs the City's Local Business Tax
Receipt process, the City Commission on March 4, 2008, passed and adopted
Ordinance No. 2008-06 establishing an Equity Study Board which served as the Equity
Study Commission (ESC). On February 5, 2008, the City Commission passed and
adopted Resolution No. 2008-13 appointing seven (7) Board Members to the ESC,
representing the City's business community.
In addition, the ESC was assisted by the following City staff: City Manager, Finance
Support Services Director, Planning Director, City Attorney and City Clerk.
In response to this new legislation, the Finance Support Services Department prepared
an analysis that supported and outlined proposed changes/deletions of the City's Local
Business Tax Receipts Classification Schedule and Local Business Tax Receipts.
-
As part of that analysis, other local governments were contacted for samples of various
ordinances and rate structures. The following cities were utilized in our analysis
1
---
because of both their closeness in proximity to our City as well as their similar business
environment:
1. City of Hallandale Beach
2. City of North Miami Beach
3. City of Pembroke Pines
Purpose of the Business Tax Equity Study Commission
The ESC examined and reviewed the Business Tax Receipts Ordinance (Chapter 18 of
the City's Code of Ordinances) regarding classifications and rate structure and
recommended various revisions. The ESC was guided by the following objectives in
formulating its recommendations:
1. The ESC reviewed the businesses, professions and occupations within each
classification and recommended any reclassifications, new classifications and
deletions.
2. The ESC reviewed the rates of each classification and recommended any fee
changes necessary to establish equity between the rates for such
classifications.
3. After considering objectives 1 - 2 above, the ESC proposed a rate structure that
wi II generate an aggregate reven ue increase of no more than ten (10%) in
revenue for Local Business Tax Receipts for the fiscal year beginning October
1, 2008. The additional revenue shall be generated from rate structure changes
applied to the existing Local Business Tax Receipts or increases in variable
factors such as assets, value of inventory, number of employees, etc.

(b)
Any receipt may be transferred with the approval of the City Manager or his
designee when there is a bona fide sale and transfer of the business and the
property used and employed therein as stock in trade, and not otherwise. Such
transfer shall be made within 30 days after such bona fide sale has taken place.
If the provisions of this section are not strictly and completely complied with in
every respect, the receipt pertaining to the business shall be null and void and of
no further effect. Such transfer shall take effect upon payment of a transfer fee
of ~ up to 10 percent of the annual tax, but not less than $3 nor more than
$25 and after presentation of evidence of both the sale and of the original receipt.
-
(c) Upon written request and presentation of the original receipt, any receipt may be
transferred from one location to another location upon payment of a transfer fee
of ~ up to 10 percent of the annual tax, but not less than $3 nor more than
$25 and upon verification that such use is permitted by the zoning district
regulations at the new location.

New Proposed LanQuaQe
(b2) Initiate and receive business communications by telephone.!. Gf-fax or electronic
means.
Sec. 18-42. Tax schedule
See Proposed Tax Schedule (attached Ordinance)
The proposed tax classification schedule includes an across-the-board increase of 10%.
The Finance Support SeNices Department utilized information based on the number of
,- existing business tax receipts of each classification/description to project the affect that
the tax increase would have on the total business tax receipt revenues.

Proposed Changes/Deletions in City Code
(continued)
Deletions
See the Tax Schedule found in the body of the ordinance. All the text marked with a
strikethrough are being recommended for deletion by the ESC because they are either
not utilized, specifically precluded by the City's Current Code (e.g., Peddler or street
vendor) or they appear to have been inadvertently duplicated on the original Tax
Schedule.
Calculation of Maximum Allowable Increased Revenue

THE REQUEST
City staff is requesting approval on second reading of an ordinance to amend the City
of Aventura Comprehensive Plan to add a new Education Element to the Plan as
required by State statute, to amend the Capital Improvement Element and the
Intergovernmental Co-ordination Element to amend and add policies to support the
new Educational Element and to amend the Capital Improvement Element to adopt
the City's most recent Capital Improvement Program into the Plan.
BACKGROUND
In 2005, the Florida Legislature mandated that public school concurrency be adopted
by all Florida school boards, counties and non-exempt municipalities by the end of
2008. See, Sections 163.3177(12)(i) and 163.3180(13), Florida Statutes. "School
concurrency" means that public school facilities will be required to be in place at the
time that the impacts of residential development are felt, similar to the existing
concurrency requirements for water, sewer, roads, drainage, parks and recreation
and other public facilities. Public school concurrency will be tested at the time of
subdivision or site plan approval (or functional equivalent), and is a function of the
size, type and location of the residential development. School concurrency will
replace the voluntary mitigation policy that the Miami-Dade County School Board has
been applying for the past several years.
The proposed amendments were recommended for approval by the Local Planning
Agency on October 2,2007. City Commission approved an ordinance incorporating
those amendments on October 2, 2007 and authorizing transmittal to the State of
2
Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA). The first reading staff report dated
May 14, 2008 is attached as Exhibit #1.
The amendments were transmitted to DCA on October 11, 2007. The transmittal
was found to be complete by DCA staff on December 18, 2007. DCA's Objections,
Recommendations and Comments (ORC) report was received on February 16,
2008. A draft ORC response was submitted to DCA on April 10, 2008 and
underwent a courtesy review by DCA staff on April 21, 2008. The City's ORC
response was amended in response to DCA courtesy staff review. A copy of the City
staff response is attached as Exhibit #2.
The ORC report contained eleven objections relating to the specific requirements of
relevant parts of State statute and Florida Administrative Code. Each objection must
be addressed and corrected prior to resubmittal of the amendment for DCA
compliance review. The following additions and deletions are proposed to the
amendments presented for first reading to address these objections:
1. Objective 2 of the Education Element has been revised to clarify that the
objective intends to include those projects necessary to address existing deficiencies
in the five year schedule of capital improvements and to meet future needs based on
achieving and maintaining the adopted level of service standards throughout the
planning period.
2. Policy 2.1 of the Education Element has been revised to delete the second
paragraph of the description of the public schools level of service standard to make
clear that there is only one level of service standard to be applied during concurrency
review and to except magnet schools from the public school level of service standard
and include a separate level of service standard for magnet schools. Policy 2.2 of
the element has also been revised to make this clarification.
3. Policy 2.4 of the Capital Improvement Element has been revised to mirror the
new level of service language in the Education Element.
4. Policy 2.3 of the Education Element has been revised to include language
specifying the type of mitigation that the Public Schools will allow to meet
concurrency and to direct the School Board to apply all mitigation funds toward a
school capacity improvement identified in the five year district workplan.
5. Policy 2.4 of the Education Element has been revised to provide for updates
to the concurrency service areas.
6. New Policies 2.5 and 2.6 have been added to the Education Element to
provide language to ensure existing deficiencies are addressed and the capacity of
schools is sufficient to support residential development at the adopted level of service
standard throughout the planning period and to provide for annual review of the
facilities workplan.
7. New Policy 2.7 has been added to the Education Element to provide that the
City will coordinate with the Public Schools to ensure that the facilities workplan is
amended on an annual basis. A new Policy 4.20 has been added to the Capital
Improvement Element to provide for evaluation of this workplan.
3
8. New Policy 3.6 has been added to the Education Element to provide that the
City will encourage and co-operate with the Public Schools in their effort for public
school siting reviews.
9. Policy 4.5 of the Education Element has been revised to provide that the City
will, through the staff working group of the Interlocal Agreement, co-ordinate with the
Public Schools, the County and other parties to the agreement to annually review the
Education Element and school enrollment projections.
10. The first reading amendments included only the map series for our area. The
entire map series prepared by Miami-Dade County are now adopted by reference.
11. Policy 1.21 of the Intergovernmental Coordination Element has been revised
to provide that the City will execute and follow the procedures of the Interlocal
Agreement for Public School Facility Planning.
ANALYSIS
Section 31-53 of the City's Land Development Regulations provides that the
Comprehensive Plan may be amended in accordance with that section and in
accordance with the notice and hearing procedures set forth in both the Land
Development Regulations and the applicable Florida Statutes.
Notice of the proposed amendments has been properly published. The hearing
procedure requires one public hearing by the Local Planning Agency and two public
hearings by the City Commission. The public hearing by the Local Planning Agency
and the first public hearing by the City Commission were held on October 2, 2007.
This is the second public hearing by the City Commission.
If approved on second reading, the amendments will be forwarded to DCA with a
request for compliance review, compliance determination and issuance of a Notice of
Intent. The ordinance will be effective upon issuance of the Notice of Intent by DCA,
subject to a statutory appeals period.

THE REQUEST
City staff is requesting amendments to the City of Aventura Comprehensive Plan to
add a new Education Element to the Plan as required by State statute, to amend the
Capital Improvement Element and the Intergovernmental Co-ordination Element to
amend and add policies to support the new Educational Element, to amend the
Capital Improvement Element to adopt the City's most recent Capital Improvement
Program into the Plan and to approve transmittal of the amendments to the Florida
Department of Community Affairs.
BACKGROUND
In 2005, the Florida Legislature mandated that publiC school concurrency be adopted
by all Florida school boards, counties and non-exempt municipalities by the end of
2008. See, Sections 163.3177(12)(i) and 163.3180(13), Florida Statutes. "School
concurrency" means that public school facilities will be required to be in place at the
time that the impacts of residential development are felt, similar to the existing
concurrency requirements for water, sewer, roads, drainage, parks and recreation
and other public facilities. Public school concurrency will be tested at the time of
subdivision or site plan approval (or functional equivalent), and is a function of the
size, type and location of the residential development. School concurrency will
replace the voluntary mitigation policy that the Miami-Dade County School Board has
been applying for the past several years.
City staff has been working with the staffs of the School Board, Miami-Dade County
and other non-exempt municipalities for over a year to advise the School
Concurrency Task Force and develop the Comprehensive Plan amendments that
are necessary to implement public school concurrency. In order to implement public
2
school concurrency, the City is required to adopt a new element in the
Comprehensive Plan called the Education Element and amend the Capital
Improvement and Intergovernmental Coordination Elements to include policies that
support the new element. In addition to the plan amendments required by State
statute, City staff is proposing new Comprehensive Plan policies relating to the
Aventura City of Excellence School (ACES), the City's municipal charter school.
Based on the data and analysis supporting the proposed Comprehensive Plan
amendments, the proposed level of service (LOS) standard for all County public
school facilities is 100% utilization of Florida Inventory of School Houses (FISH)
Capacity (With Relocatable Classrooms). The Florida Inventory of School Houses
(FISH) is a state report containing an estimate of the capacity of all public school
facilities in the state. This LOS standard is measured by and applicable in each
public school concurrency service area (CSA), which is defined as the public school
attendance boundary established by the Miami-Dade County Public Schools for each
school. The intent is to revisit the LOS standard after the full implementation of the
class-size reduction constitutional amendment in 2010, and determine whether it
would be financially feasible to change it to 100% utilization of permanent Florida
Inventory of School Houses (FISH) Capacity (Without Relocatable Classrooms).
City staff has included policies to adopt the same level of service standard for ACES.
Pursuant to state law. public school concurrency is to be adopted by all State
counties and municipalities by the end of 2008. According to the Department of
Community Affairs' schedule for implementation. public school concurrency is to
become effective in Miami-Dade County by January 1, 2008. Therefore, effective
January 1. 2008, the City will require all residential subdivision approvals and site
plans that are neither exempt nor vested to undergo public school concurrency
review.
Each such new development in the City will be reviewed by the School Board to
determine if there is capacity available at the affected schools (elementary, middle
and high school) or at contiguous schools. A credit will be provided against the
impact of proposed development for the districtwide capacity of those charter and
magnet schools that are not operating over 100% FISH capacity. Together, charter
and magnet schools, currently represent a combined total of 7% of the district
enrollment. If capacity is not available for the development, then the applicant will be
invited to propose proportionate share mitigation. If the proposal is acceptable, it
must be implemented via a tri-party agreement with the applicant, the City and the
School Board. If not, the development could end up being delayed or denied due to
the lack of school capacity.
City staff has included policies in our proposed Education Element to support a
request made by staff to the School Board to allow proportionate share mitigation to
be paid to the City rather than the School Board to support our municipal charter
school. To date, School Board staff has advised that they will not recommend City
3
staffs request. A request for all charter schools to be eligible for proportionate share
mitigation has been made by the Builders Association of South Florida, and this
request is being considered by a sub-committee of the School Concurrency Task
Force. If this request is accepted, ACES would be eligible for mitigation. Even if a
more limited version of this request is accepted, it could be tailored to make ACES
eligible.
The new Level of Service (LOS) standards and other new procedures, policies and
requirements contained in this Education Element will be incorporated, where
appropriate, into the existing Interlocal Agreement for Public School Facility Planning
between the School Board, the County and Miami-Dade municipalities. The
revisions to this agreement are currently under discussion by all parties. The most
recent draft of the agreement is attached as Exhibit #1 to this report and will be
transmitted with the Education Element to the Department of Community Affairs, as
supportive data and analysis. At the time the Education Element is being considered
for second reading, the final draft of the Agreement will be presented to City
Commission for approval. Attached as Exhibit #2 is a summary of the data and
analysis supporting the element, prepared by Miami-Dade County Public Schools.
This will also be transmitted with our proposed element.
In addition to the new Education Element, amendments are proposed to the Capital
Improvements Element of the Comprehensive Plan to add Level of Service (LOS)
standards for public schools and for the Aventura City of Excellence School and to
adopt the Miami-Dade County Public Schools Facilities Work Program into the Plan
by reference. An amendment is also proposed to the Intergovernmental Co-
ordination Element of the Plan to add a policy regarding co-ordination of Level of
Service (LOS) standards between the City, the Miami Dade County Public Schools,
Miami-Dade County and all municipalities participating in the Interlocal Agreement.
Lastly, one further amendment is proposed to the Capital Improvements Element.
State statute requires that the City annually adopt its Capital Improvement Program
into the Comprehensive Plan by reference. The proposed amendment adopts the
current 2007/08 -2011/12 Capital Improvement Program.
ANAL YSIS
Section 31-53 of the City's Land Development Regulations provides that the
Comprehensive Plan may be amended in accordance with that section and in
accordance with the notice and hearing procedures set forth in both the Land
Development Regulations and the applicable Florida Statutes.
Notice of the proposed amendments has been properly published. The hearing
procedure requires one public hearing by the Local Planning Agency and two public
hearings by the City Commission. If adopted on first reading I the ordinance will be
transmitted to the Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA) and applicable
4
agencies. The ordinance will be scheduled for second and final reading following
receipt of comments from these agencies.
The proposed element has been drafted to be consistent with the Miami-Dade
County element and to comply with all statutory requirements. The County has
transmitted its element to the State Department of Community Affairs and is now
under review. The State has advised the County that it will have comments on the
County element that may require revision to the transmitted element. If this is the
case, the City's element may need the same revision in order to be consistent.
These comments will be addressed for final adoption on second reading.

Objections, Recommendations and Comments Report (ORC)
DCA No. 08-PEFE 1
Addressing Adoption of Education Element and Amendments to
Capital Improvements Element and
Intergovernmental Co-ordination Element of the
City of Aventura Comprehensive Plan
Response Date: Apri/10, 2008
Revised: April 21, 2008 (revision in underlined text)
This report contains responses from the City of Aventura to the objections
referenced in the Objections, Recommendations and Comments (ORC) Report
issued by the Florida Department of Community Affairs (DCA) dated February
16, 2008. The DCA issued objections to the Application transmitted for review
and comment by the City of Aventura City Commission on October 11, 2007 and
deemed complete by DCA on December 18, 2007.
These objections must be addressed since they form the basis of potential
determinations of non-compliance by DCA. The DCA objections and
corresponding recommendations are summarized below, followed by the City of
Aventura's responses and then followed by the City's proposed amended
element incorporating those responses and showing changes from the first
transmittal in underlined and stricken-through text.
Objection: The amendment does not meet all of the requirements in Chapter 163,
F.S., and Rule 9J-5, F.A.C., for an educational facilities element.
The proposed educational facilities element does not contain all of the objectives and
policies required to be in an educational facilities element, pursuant to Chapter 163, Part
II, Florida Statutes (F.S.), and Rule Chapter 9J-5, Florida Administrative Code (F.A.C.).
The shortcomings are detailed below, with the particular statutory and administrative rule
citations.
1. Proposed Policy 2.2 establishes a level of service standard of 1 00 percent utilization
of Florida Inventory of School Houses (FISH) capacity with relocatable classrooms. This
is an acceptable level of service standard; however, Policy 2.2 also prescribes that
schools which achieve 100 percent of permanent FISH capacity should no longer utilize
relocatable classrooms to achieve the LOS standard except as an operational solution
(during remodeling, replacement or expansion of a school facility). Thus it appears that
the City is establishing a two-part LOS standard which may lead to inequities in the
application of the concurrency management system.
Citations: Rules 9J-5.0055, 9J-6.025(3)(c)7, FA.C,- Section 163.3180, FS
DCA Recommendation: Revise the description of the public schools level of service
standard in the educational facilities element to make clear that there is only one level of
service standard to be applied during concurrency review.
City Response: The City of A ventura proposes to revise Policy 2.1 by removing the
second provisions in the policy and incorporating said provision into Policy 2.2. By
incorporating this revision into Policy 2.2, it will make it clear there is only one level of
service.
2. The proposed educational facilities element does not provide a level of service
standard for magnet schools, which is required pursuant to Rule 9J-5.0055(2)(b), F.A. C,
and s. 163. 3180(13) (b) 2, FS
Citations: Rule 9J-5.0055(2)(b), 9J-5.025 (3)(c)7, FA.C,- Section 163. 3180(13) (b) 2, FS
DCA Recommendation: Revise the educational facilities element to include a level of
service standard for magnet schools.
City Response: The City of A ventura proposes to revise the first paragraph of Policy 2.1
to except magnet schools and add a new paragraph to state that the adopted LOS standard
for magnet schools is 100% FISH (with relocatable classrooms) which shall be calculated
on a districtwide basis.
3. The proposed educational facilities element does not meet the requirement in Rule 9J-
5. 025(3)(c) 2, F.A. C, that it contain a policy which requires the adoption of annual plan
amendments adding a new fifth year, updating the financially feasible public schools
capital facilities program, coordinating the program with the 5-year district facilities
work plan, the plans of other local governments, and, as necessary, updates to the
concurrency service area map. The requirement for annual plan amendments is intended
to help ensure that the capital improvements program continues to be financially feasible
and that the level of service standards will continue to be achieved and maintained
Although this issue is addressed in the proposed interlocal agreement, a policy is also
required in the proposed educational facilities element.
Citation: Rule 9J-5. 025 (3)(c)2, FA. C,- Section 163.3177 (12)(g)(1), FS
DCA Recommendation: Revise the educational facilities element to include a policy
which requires the adoption of annual plan amendments adding a new fifth year,
updating the financially .feasible public schools capital facilities program, coordinating
the program with the 5-year district facilities work plan, the plans of other local
governments, and, as necessary, updates to the concurrency service area map.
City Response: The City of Aventura proposes to revise Objective 2 by adding language
to clarify that the objective intends to include those projects necessary to address existing
deficiencies in the 5 year schedule of capital improvements and to meet future needs
based upon achieving and maintaining the adopted LOS standards throughout the
planning period.
The City further proposes to:
· Revise Policy 2.4 to provide for updates to the concurrency service areas
· Add new Policies 2.5 and 2.6 to provide language to ensure existing deficiencies
are addressed and the capacity of schools is sufficient to support residential, and
development at the adopted LOS standard throughout the planning period in the 5
year schedule of capital improvements and to provide for annual review of the
facilities workplan, and
· Add Policy 2.7 to provide that the City will coordinate with the Miami Dade
County Public Schools to ensure that the MDCPS Facilities Work Program is
amended on an annual basis to add a new fifth year, reflect changes in estimated
capital revenues, planned capital appropriations costs. planned capital facilities
prolects. CSAs and school usage and ensure that the Work Program continues to
be financially feasible for the five year planning period
· Add Policy 4.20 to the Capital Improvement Element to provide for evaluation of
the facilities workplan.
4. The proposed educational facilities element does not meet the requirement in Rule 9J-
5. 025 (3)(c) 3, FA.C., that it contain a policy addressing coordination of the annual
review of the element with the school board, the county and applicable municipalities,
coordination of annual review of school enrollment projections, and establishing the
procedures for the annual update process. Policy 4.5 in the proposed educational
facilities element provides for the annual review of the element by Miami-Dade County
and Miami-Dade County Public Schools; however, it does not address coordination with
municipalities, review of school enrollment projections, or procedures for the annual
update. These issues are included in the draft interlocal agreement, but they should be
included in the educational facilities element.
Citations: 9J-5.025(3)(c)(3) FA.C.; Section 163.3177(12)(g)(l), FS.
DCA Recommendation: Revise the educational facilities element to include a policy
addressing coordination of the annual review of the element with the school board, the
county and applicable municipalities, coordination of annual review of school enrollment
projections, and establishing the procedures for the annual update process.
City Response: The City of A ventura proposes to revise Policy 4.5 to provide that the
City will, through the staff working group of the Interlocal Agreement for Public School
Facility Planning, co-ordinate with Miami-Dade County Public Schools, Miami-Dade
County and non-exempt municipalities to annually review the Education Element and
school enrollment projections.
5. The proposed educational facilities element does not meet the requirement in Rule 9J-
5. 025(3)(c) 6, FA.C., that it contain a policy addressing the coordination of the long
range public school facility map with the local government's comprehensive plan,
including the future land use map.
Citations: 9J-5.025(3)(c)6, FA.C; Section 163.3177(12)(g)9, FS
DCA Recommendation: Revise the educational facilities element to include a policy
addressing the coordination of the long range public school facility map with the local
government's comprehensive plan, including the future land use map.
City Response: The City of Aventura proposes to add Policy 3.6 to provide that the City
shall encourage and co-operate with the Miami-Dade County Public Schools in their
effort for public school siting reviews to help accomplish the objectives of this element
and other elements of the City's Comprehensive Plan, including the future land use map.
6. The proposed educational facilities element does not meet the requirement in Rule 9J-
5.025(3)(c)9, FA.C, that it contain policies specifying types of mitigation that a school
board will allow to meet concurrency and policies assuring that any mitigation funds
provided as a result of the school concurrency system are directed by the school board
toward a school capacity improvement identified in a financially feasible 5-year district
work plan and which satisfies the demands created by that development in accordance
with a binding developer's agreement. Policy 2.3 provides that impacts could be
mitigated through one or more proportionate share methods as defined in s.
163.3180(13)(e)1, FS, but does not itselfspecify the types ofmitigation the school board
will allow. More detail on proportionate share mitigation options are included in the
interlocal agreement, but this needs to be included in the educational facilities element.
Citations: Rule 9J-5.025(3)(c)9, FA.C; Section 163.3180(13)(e)1, FS
DCA Recommendation: Revise the educational facilities element to include (1) a policy
specifying the types of mitigation that Miami-Dade County Public Schools will allow to
meet concurrency and (2) policies assuring that any mitigation funds provided as a result
of the school concurrency system are directed by the school board toward a school
capacity improvement identified in a financially feasible 5-year district work plan and
which satisfies the demands created by that development in accordance with a binding
developer's agreement.
City Response: The City of A ventura proposes to revise Policy 2.3 to include language
specifying the type of mitigation that Miami-Dade Public Schools will allow to meet
concurrency. The additional language also directs the School Board to apply all
mitigation funds provided as a result of school concurrency toward a school capacity
improvement identified in the 5 year district work plan, thus satisfying the demands
created by the development in accordance with a binding developer's agreement.
7. The proposed educational facilities element does not meet the requirement in Rule 9J-
5.025(4)(b), FA.C., that it contain afuture conditions map or map series which depicts
the planned general location of public school facilities by year for the five year planning
period, andfor the end of the long range planningperiodfor Miami-Dade County.
Citations: Rule 9J-5.025(4)(b), FA.C.; Section 163.3177(12)(h), FS
DCA Recommendation: Revise the educational facilities element to include and adopt a
countywide future conditions map or map series which depicts the planned general
location of public school facilities by year for the five year planning period, and for the
end of the long range planning.
City Response: The map series prepared by Miami-Dade County and the Miami-Dade
County Public Schools showing existing and future conditions in the Northeast Area,
which includes the City of A ventura, are included in the element. The map series for all
geographic areas are included in the support data, inventory and analysis submitted by
Miami-Dade County dated July 3, 2007 and are adopted by reference in the City's
Element. The City of Aventura's amendments rely on that support data, inventory and
analysis as confirmed by the attached letter from the City to Mr. Ray Eubanks dated
December 12,2007.
8. The proposed revision of the intergovernmental coordination element does not meet
the requirements in Sections 163.3177(6)(h)(1) and (2), FS, to show relationships and
state principles and guidelines to be used in the accomplishment of coordination of the
adopted comprehensive plan with plans of the school board. In addition, a policy
describing the joint processes for collaborative planning and decision making on
population projections and public school siting, the location and extension of public
facilities subject to concurrency, and sitingfacilities with countywide significance has not
been included. Although these issues are addressed in the proposed inter local
agreement, a policy addressing these provisions needs to be included in the element.
Citations: Rule 9J-5.015(3)(b)1, 3, 6, and (c); 9J-5.025(c)3; and Section
163.3177(6)(h)(1) and (2), FS,
DCA Recommendation: Revise the intergovernmental coordination element to include a
policy in the intergovernmental coordination element to include the relationships and
state principles and guidelines to be used in the accomplishment of coordination of the
adopted comprehensive plan with plans of the school board and to describe joint
processes for collaborative planning and decision making on population projections and
public school siting, the location and extension of public facilities subject to concurrency,
and sitingfacilities with countywide significance.
City Response: The City of A ventura proposes to revise Policy 1.21 of the
Intergovernmental Co-ordination Element to provide that the City will follow the
procedures of the Amended and Restated Interlocal Agreement for Public School Facility
Planning with Miami-Dade County Public Schools, Miami-Dade County and non-exempt
municipalities.
9. The proposed revision of the intergovernmental coordination element does not meet
the requirement in s. 163.3177(6)(h)(4)a, FS., that local governments must execute an
interlocal agreement with the district school board, the County, and nonexempt
municipalities pursuant to s. 163.31777. The local government shall amend the
intergovernmental coordination element to provide that coordination between the local
government and school board is pursuant to the agreement and shall state the obligations
of the local government under the agreement. Although Policy 1.2.1 requires the
procedures established in the interlocal agreement to followed, the procedures are not
included in the policy; the policy does not require the adoption of the interlocal
agreement; and the policy does not identify the City's obligations under the agreement.
Citation: Section 163.3177(6)(h)(4)a, FS.
DCA Recommendation: Revise the intergovernmental coordination element and Policy
1.21 to obligate the City to execute an interlocal agreement with the district school
board, the County, and the other nonexempt municipalities pursuant to s. 163.31777, FS.
The policy also must include the procedure to be used to ensure coordination with the
school board and identify the City's obligations under the agreement.
City Response: The City of A ventura proposes to revise Policy 1.21 of the
Intergovernmental Co-ordination Element to include the City's obligation to execute an
Interlocal Agreement with the Miami-Dade County Public Schools, Miami-Dade County
and non-exempt municipalities.
Objection: Interlocal agreement does not include all local governments in the
County as signatories and is not executed
The proposed educational facilities element does not include, as part of its data and
analysis, the revised interlocal agreement as executed between the City of A ventura and
the Miami-Dade County Public Schools, which is required pursuant to s.
163.3177(12)(c), FS The amendment package does include a draft interlocal agreement;
however, the draft agreement is deficient in that not all of the municipalities within
Miami-Dade County are listed as signatories. According to s. 163.3180(13), FS, all
local governments within a county, except for those satisfYing the exemption criteria

Upon public school concurrency becomina effective, the adopted level of service (LOS)
standard for all Miami-Dade County public school facilities is 100% utilization of Florida
Inventory of School Houses (FISH) Capacity (With Relocatable Classrooms). This LOS
standard, exceot for maanet schools. shall be applicable in each public school concurrency
service area (CSA), defined as the public school attendance boundary established by Miami-

Policv 4.20
The Miami-Dade Countv Public School Facilitv Work Proaram will be evaluated on an annual
basis to ensure that the LOS standard will continue to be achieved and maintained throuahout
the olannina oeriod.
The Concurrency Management System section of the Capital Improvement Element is
amended to include public school facilities and existing sections are renumbered
"Concurrency Management System
A key component of the Growth Management Act is the concurrency management system.
Section 163.3202 F.S. requires local governments to amend its land development regulations to
incorporate specific and detailed provisions which shall provide that public facilities and services
meet or exceed the LOS standards established in the Plan's Capital Improvements Element
and are available when needed for the development, or that the development orders or permits
are conditioned on the availability of these public facilities and services necessary to serve the
development. Chapter 163.3164, F.S. defines 'development order' to include any zoning action,
subdivision approval, certification, permit, or any other official action of local government having
the effect of permitting the development of land. A variety of such development orders are
typically issued by local governments. These include zoning district boundary changes,
variances, unusual use, and site plan approval; environmental permits and certifications;
tentative and final subdivision plat approval; building permits, and certificates of use and
occupancy.
In order to implement the concurrency requirements mandated by Chapter 163, F.S. the City of
Aventura shall enact by ordinance, a concurrency management system which accomplishes the
11
Ordinance No. 2008-
Page 12
statutory requirements. Administration of the required program involves the establishment of
methods and capabilities to monitor outstanding development commitments and service
demands posed by such commitments, plus the existing, programmed and projected capacities
of all pertinent urban service facilities or systems.
The Aventura concurrency management system shall make appropriate concurrency
determinations in conjunction with the following development approval activities:
1) at the time of zoning actions, site plan approvals and subdivision approvals;
2) prior to the issuance of building permits; and,
3) prior to the issuance of certificates of use and occupancy.
In general, no zoning action authorizing a new use or the expansion of an existing use and no
subdivision plat or site plan shall be approved unless the facilities necessary to maintain level of
service standards exist or are projected to exist when necessary to serve the development.
Zoning approvals shall be based on inclusion of necessary facilities in the applicable Element of
the Plan, or in the plan or work program of the agency having jurisdictional responsibility for
provision of the facilities. Such findings shall be included in staff recommendations to the City
Commission, or other applicable board. If the foregoing plans and programs indicate a low
probability that concurrency will be met, but the necessary facilities are technically feasible,
such rezoning action should be preceded by an amendment to the appropriate plan or work
program to add the necessary facilities. Alternatively, such zoning may be approved if the
applicant executes a written agreement to provide the necessary facilities on a timely basis. All
such development approvals prior to the 'Principal Concurrency Determination' will contain a
notice reserving the right of the City to make its principal concurrency determination prior to the
issuance of building permits.
A principal concurrency determination will be required prior to obtaining any subsequent
development order. It is intended that at least one principal concurrency determination be made
at an early stage in the development planning process, prior to the point at which major
expenses are incurred in reliance on development approval. Principal concurrency
determinations will be made prior to the approval of subdivision plats or, in instances where plat
approvals are not required or have predated the effective date of the concurrency requirement,
a principal concurrency determination will be made prior to issuance of a building permit. A
principal concurrency determination made at final plat approval will serve as the determination
of requested building permits where said permits are issued within two (2) years after the date
of final plat approval. Where the applicant demonstrates that development has commenced on
a timely basis and is continuing in good faith, this period may be extended but in no case shall
this period exceed five (5) years after final plat approval. Administrative procedures for
demonstrating that development has commenced on a timely basis and is continuing in good
faith shall be established in the land development regulations.

provided by the following means:
(4) Necessary public school facilities must be in place or under actual construction
within 3 years after issuance of final subdivision or site plan approval or the
functional equivalent. or assured by a proportionate share mitiQation aQreement.

contract for the construction of the facilities or the provision of services at the
time the building permit is issued;
en The necessary facilities are funded and programmed in the first year of the
implementing agencies adopted capital budget or are programmed in the CIE for
the construction or acquisition; the necessary facilities shall not be deferred or

It is anticipated that after building permits are issued, determinations of concurrency prior to the
issuance of COs may simply involve review and verification of compliance with terms and
conditions set forth in the foregoing paragraphs.
The concurrency management system is solely used to implement minimum level of service
standards. In the review of applications for development orders, neither the satisfaction of
these minimum standards, nor exceptions from them, shall preempt the City of Aventura from
considerations of any other standards nor criterion set forth in the applicable development
reg u lations."

The following represents tha significmt revisions or modifications to the
proposed CIP compared to the prior document
. Updated the Arts & Cultural Center Project description and budget.
. Added Country Club Drive (Northbound) Road Resurfacing project -
$750,000.
. Updated NE 19151 Street Traffic Improvements budget - $507,000.
. Updated NE 183rd Street Traffic Improvements budget - $500,000.
. Added NE 1991h Street/West Country Club Drive right turning lane -
$182,000.
. Added Charter School Classroom Expansion Project - $1 ,600,000
The proposed 2008 - 2013 CI P includes 28 projects in five (5) functional
categories with a total value of $18,793,742. The following represents the
percentage of total funding that each functional category has been allocated:
Beautification & Parks Facilities (3%), Transportation, Drainage and
Infrastructure Improvements (26%), Capital Equipment Purchase and
Replacement (15%), Information/Communication Technology (16%) and Public
Buildings and Facilities Improvements (40%).
Major emphasis was placed on the following projects:
. Arts & Cultural Center
. Charter School Classroom Expansion
. Transportation and Traffic Improvements
. Stormwater Drainage Improvements

1,600,000
1,189,000
1,000,000
The document contains a detailed funding plan that forecasts revenues
necessary to fund both the CIP and the operating budgets over the next five (5)
years. The proposed funding plan is based on the assumption that operating
expenditures can be maintained at certain percentage increases and revenues
grow at specified levels.
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 beautification projects, park and open space
additions, Government Center, Community Recreation Center, Charter School,
transportation improvements 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 effort to
address the needs and concerns of our citizens 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 2008 - 2013 Capital Improvement Program:
1. Hold a workshop meeting to review the CIP document in May.
2. Transmit copies of the CIP summary document to the public.
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.
Respectfully submitted,

INTRODUCTION
This section describes what a Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is and the process
for developing the City of Aventura (the "City") 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 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 within the City. A capital improvement is defined as a capital expenditure
of $5,000 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 (1) year. In addition,
equipment that has a value of $5,000 or less is also included in this document for
budgetary purposes.
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.
Capital Improvement Program 2008-2013
Page 1
City of A ventura
3. The yearly evaluation of project priorities ensures that the most crucial
projects are developed first.
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 2008 - 2013. 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 Urgency, Necessity, Desirability, and Deferability.
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 CIP.
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 (1) year and a value of $5,000 or more. In addition,
equipment that has a value of $5,000 or less is also included in the
document for budgetary purposes.
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 Fund Balance
at a level not less than 7.5% of the annual General Fund revenue.
Capital Improvement Program 2008-2013

City of A ventura
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
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 (5) program areas as follows:
Beautification and Parks (BP)
Transportation, Drainage and Infrastructure Improvements (TDI)
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
Page 10
City of A ventura
FUNDING PLAN
INTRODUCTION
In order for a CIP 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 CI P 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 CIP.
2. A projection of future years' operating expenditure levels which will be
required to provide ongoing services to City residents.
3. Once the CIP 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 CIP 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 (2).
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.
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.
Capital Improvement Program 2008-2013
Page 11
City of A ventura
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 CIP 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 CI P.
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
are currently represented as follows:
1. General Fund
2. Transportation and Street Maintenance Fund
3. Charter School Fund
4. Park Development Fund
Capital Improvement Program 2008-2013
Page 12
City of A ventura
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 $18,793,742. No additional debt is recommended.
2. Adjusts 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
CIP, 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 CIP for each
year of the program.
Table 1 presents a five-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 2007/08 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-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 CIP 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 CIP Fund and that any balance in the CIP Fund will remain in
the CIP. 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.

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 Waterways Dog Park
improvements and Veterans Park modifications.

STORMWATER UTILITY FUND
The City is responsible for stormwater management activities within its 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 proactive 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 $1,000,000 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 2007/08. It
is not recommended that the fee be increased during the next five (5) years.

Park Facilities/Open Space Recreation
The City's estimated current population is 30,000. 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 82.50 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.

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 $1,500,000
to respond to damage from hurricanes experienced in 2005.

15 high school seniors
earn a golden moment
.SllVER KNIGHT, FROM lA
Nuevo Herald. "It takes
incredihle commitment to
community and academic
achievement to make a Silver
Knight. Only the most
extraordinary kids make it to
this level."
For 50 years, the newspa-
pers have honored high-
school luminaries with Silver
Knight Awards in categories
ranging {rom art to music to
foreign language. This year's
class of 15 MiamH)ade win-
neTS was named Tuesday
night at the Adrienne Arsht
Center for the Performing
Arts in a ceremony that had
the look and feel of the
()scars: long gowns and tuxe-
dos, bright lights and a full
orchestra, and a giant screen
projecting the winners.'
shocked expressions when
their names were called
When the Social Studies
winner was introduced, the
audience rose to its leet and
gave Kevin Mintz a standing
ovation.
The senior at Robert Mor-
gan Educational Center near
West Perrine. who has cere-
bral palsy and uses a wheel-
chair, was the first student
selected for a school district
advisory panel on special
education. His efforts helped
ensure that disabilities were
included in the district's
social studies curriculum.
"I have been trying to
break down people's fears
about those with disabilities
and I view this project as a
very good first step in the
right direction." he said.
This fall, Mintz will go to
Harvard University, where
he'll major in government.
He hopes to go to law school
to become an advocate for
people with di<;abilities.
The audience al50 cheered
when the announcer said the
winner in the drama category
was a Chongalicious girl.

HONORABLE
MENTIONS: The three
honorable mentions In
each category wil! befea-
tured in Sunday's Neigr-
borS0ditiot)s
senior at Michael Krop, co-
wrote and co-starn)d in a
Web video of the Chongali-
dous Girls, a spoof on young
Hispanic girls. The girls
became local celebrities and
were featured on the CBS
Early Show and National
Public Radio.
The video taught Davila to
believe in herself.
"It started of( as me and a
friend having fun," she said.
"But it turned into a political
statement and an artistic
statement. It proved to me
that one person can really
have a voice and make a dif-
ference."
Silver Knight winners
each received $2,000, a slatu~
ette and medallion, and a
round-trip ticket to any-
where in the United States
from American Airlines.
Honorable mentions receive
$500 and a plaque. The
awards are sponsored by
American Airlines, the Blank
Family Foundation and Blue
Cross/Blue Shield.
Then-Miami Herald pub-
lisher John S. Knight created
the program in Miami in 1959
to honor high school seniors
who shine in academics and
community involvement.
In the last half century,
1,100 have been named Silver
Knights. Winners have gone
on to win Oscars, play in
Super Bowl games and
become rocket scientists.
Many Silver Knight
alumni returned to their high
schools to talk with students
Tuesday. They also attended
a luncheon featuring speak-
ers Steve Reinemund. the
retired PepsiCo chairman
and the 1%6 Silver Knight in
citizenship. and Ambassador
Frances D. Cook, the first
female head of post for the
United States in the Middle
East and the 1963 Silver
Knight in social science.
The John S. and James L.
Knight Foundation funded
the alumni events and made a
$205,000 grant to allow
Hands on Miami to set up a
mentorship program.
Students are nominated by
their teachers, and chosen by
a panel of judges. This year's
IS winners and 45 honorable
mentions were selected from
more than 400 nominations.
Fifteen Broward County stu-
dents were also named Silver
Knight winners at a cere-
mony last month.
This year's winners are
well on their wav to success.
Cristina More~o, a student
at Coral Gables Senior and
the mathematics win neT,
started a chapter of the 1nfoT-
mation Technology Girls
Club. Her efforts encouraged
young girls to pursue careers
in math, science, engineering
and technology.
Alejandro Calleja built a
school band at Mater Acad-
emy - and then went on to
excel at saxophone competi-
tions throughout the state.
"Every year, the Silver
Knights are important to us,
but this year - the 50th anni-
versary - is especially
important," Landsberg said.
"So many former winners
have had the chance to meet.
It's a delight to see a winner
from 20 years ago connect
with a winner from last
year."
