period and (b) the funds for repayment will be
available within a two-year period. Any actions
taken to borrow funds under these conditions must

City Commission and the term of such borrowing

City Manager
ENCLOSURES:
RECOMMENDATION
January 18, 2000
Financial Integrity
Principles
It is recommended that the attached ordinance identifying ten basic financial principles
that will guide the City's financial practices in the future be approved.
BACKGROUND
At its November meeting, the State Financial Oversight Board asked the Administration
to work with its staff and consultants to develop a set of financial principles that could be
presented to the City Commission in January of this year. Reacting to concerns
expressed by the rating agencies regarding the change in the form of government and its
potential to adversely impact stability in the City, it was felt that a set of principles,
formally approved by the Commission, could help to alleviate some of those concerns.
Accordingly, during the months of December and January, the Administration worked
with the staff of the FOB to develop a set of financial principles for your review and
approval. The following are presented for your consideration:
1. Structurally Balanced Budget-- The City shall maintain a structurally -balanced
budget. Recurring revenues will fund recurring expenditures. Non-recurring revenues
and budget surpluses shall replenish reserve levels, support outstanding liabilities and pay
for non-recurring expenditures, in that order.
2. Estimating Conference Process-- The City shall adopt budgets and develop its long
and short-term financial and capital improvement plans containing estimates developed
utilizing a professional estimating conference process. Conference principals shall
include, but not be limited to: one principal from the Budget Office; one principal from
the Finance Department and two non -staff principals with public finance expertise.
3. Interfund Borrowing-- The City shall not borrow or use internal fund transfers to
obtain cash from one fund type or reserve, to fund activities of another fund type or
reserve unless it is deemed a lawful use of such funds; the Estimating Conference has
determined that the funds to be borrowed will not be needed during the lending period,
and, funds for repayment will be available within a two-year period. Any actions taken
FILE :
111890
to borrow funds under these conditions must be separately presented to and approved by
the City Commission and the term of such borrowing shall not exceed the last day of the
subsequent fiscal year.
Recognizing that some programs are funded by grants or other entities on a
reimbursement basis, the City shall apply for such reimbursements on a timely basis to
minimize the period that City funds are used as float. In the event loans/float for these
reimbursements extend beyond the end of a fiscal year, such reimbursements shall be
reflected as receivables and reported in the Monthly Financial Reports.
4. Reserve Policies-- The following three categories are established:
A) Current Fiscal Year Contingency-- A "contingency" reserve of $1,000,000 shall be
budgeted annually. Such contingency reserve shall be available for use, with City
Commission approval, during the fiscal year, "to fund unanticipated budget issues, which
arise or potential expenditure overruns which cannot be offset through other sources or
actions. This reserve level shall be replenished at the beginning of each fiscal year so it is
available on an on-going basis.
B) General Fund Undesignated Reserve--. The City shall retain undesignated reserves
equal to 8% of the prior three years average of general revenues. Such reserves may only
be used for offsetting an -unexpected mid -year revenue shortfall or for funding an
emergency such as a natural or man made disaster, which threatens the health, safety and
welfare of the City's residents, businesses or visitors. At such time that these reserve
funds are expended, the City Commission shall adopt a repayment schedule providing for
replenishment of these reserves within two fiscal years.
C) Designated Reserves-- The City shall retain reserves of at least to 7% of the prior
three years average of general revenues. Such reserves shall be used for funding long-
term liabilities and commitments of the City such as:
Uncompensated Absences & Other Employee Benefit Liabilities
Self -Insurance Plan Liabilities (Workers Comp, Liability Claims and Health
Insurance)
Infrastructure Funded on a Cash Basis
Strategic Initiatives*
Blue Ribbon Commission Initiatives*
*Until Completed
Payment for these specific purposes may be drawn , from this reserve during the fiscal
year and shall be replenished each year until the liabilities that adversely affect the City's
balance sheet are fully funded.
5. Multi -Year Financial and Capital Plan-- The City Commission shall annually adopt
a Financial Plan by September 30 of each year, in concert with the annual budget, which
contains five years of financial forecast. Such plan will include cost estimates of all
current city operations and pension obligations, proposed capital outlay expenditures
1 890

from the CIP, anticipated increases in operations, debt service payments, reserves to
maintain the City's officially adopted levels and estimated recurring and non-recurring
revenues. The Plan will be prepared by fund and reflect forecasted surpluses or deficits
and potential budget balancing initiatives, where appropriate.
The capital improvement component of the Plan shall cover cost estimates for all
necessary infrastructure improvements needed to support City services, including
information technology with an adequate repair and replacement (R&R) component. To
the extent feasible, department heads shall be required to submit independent needs
assessments for their departments for use in preparing the CIP. The plan will be detailed
by fund, include recommended project prioritization rankings, identified revenue sources,
planned financing options and unfunded projects. The CIP shall include a component
reflecting all on-going approved capital projects of the City, the date funded, amount
budgeted, amount spent since the start date, remaining budget, fiscal impact of known
changes to financial assumptions underlying the project and estimated completion date.
Approved projects, with circumstances that arise which change the funding requirements
of the project, shall be addressed in the CIP annually.
6. Financial Oversight and Reporting—The City shall provide for the on-going
generation of financial reports on all funds comparing budgeted, revenue ::and expenditure
information to actual on a monthly and year-to-date basis. The- Finance Department shall
be responsible for issuing these monthly reports to departments and the Mayor and City
Commission alerting them to any potentially adverse trends or conditions. These reports
should be issued within 30 days after the close of each month.
The annual external audit of the City shall be prepared and presented to the Mayor and
City Commission within 120 days of the close of each fiscal year.
7. Basic Financial Policies— The City shall develop and maintain formal policies,
which reflect "best practices" in the areas of:

entering the bond market in the future, debt issuance and management.
B) Cash Management and Investments -- such policy shall require 24 -month gross

asset allocation issues.
