Page 6 of 6 6/1V CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM TO DATE FILE The Honorable Mayor and Members December 31, 2001 of the City Commission SUBJECT: Emergency Ordinance Amending FY2002 Appropriations FROM REFERENCEOrdlnance No. 12128 r os enez City Manage ENCLOSURES: It is respectfully requested that amendments to the FY2002 Annual Appropriations Ordinance No. 12128, as amended, be approved. On November 13, 2001, the citizens of the City of Miami approved the issuance of $255 million in Homeland Defense/Neighborhood Improvement Bonds ("the Bonds"). The Administration proposes to establish a workgroup consisting of five (5) permanent positions in the Capital Improvement Fund to manage the capital projects to be accomplished with the Bonds. Funding for the related expenses has been identified from Strategic Initiatives fund balance. However, proceeds obtained upon issuance of the Bonds will be used to reimburse the Strategic Initiatives reserves, to the extent possible. Additionally, the Support Services Division, located at 1151 N.W. 7`h Street, incurred catastrophic loss due to an explosion and fire that occurred on December 14, 2001. Preliminary estimates for the damages range as high as $300,000 for the repair of the structures and replacement, repair or refurbishment of equipment lost. This disaster is amplified due to the fact that all of the supplies for the Emergency Response Division personnel are located there. The City of Miami will be responsible for the first $100,000; afterwards our catastrophic coverage will pay the remaining costs. Funding for the City's portion has been identified from Contingency Reserves budget in Non -Departmental Accounts. Attachmept 7 CAG:LMH:ps 1217
