Page 7 of 7 CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM 17 TO: The Honorable Mayor and Members DATE: V y wJr) FILE: of the City Commission SUBJECT: Emergency Ordinance Amending Appropriations Ordinance No. 11970 FROM: Ca eZ REFERENCES: City Manager r ENCLOSURES: RECOMMENDATION It is respectfully requested that the City Commission adopt the attached Emergency Ordinance amending Ordinance 11970, the annual Appropriations Ordinance for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2001. This amendment Ordinance also revises existing and establishes new capital projects. BACKGROUND The Financial Oversight Board, on November 15, 2000, and the City Commission, on November 16, 2000, have approved the use $11.5 million in Strategic Investment Funds and $1 million in Blue Ribbon Commission Initiative Funds, for a total amount of $12.5 million, for various uses as follows: • $1 million to foreclose on derelict property to create developable parcels of at least one half of a city block • $6 million for street improvements for Downtown, Brickell Avenue and the Design District to create the infrastructure to promote additional development • $1 million to hire process engineers to look at the City's internal process for recurring cost savings •. $2 million to hire outside consultants to fast track development projects such as Watson Island, Bicentennial Park, Marine Stadium and Dinner Key • $2.5 million to create a demonstration project for solid waste removal The expenditure of these funds will take place in the Capital Projects Fund so it is in order to appropriate and establish new capital projects for the uses designated above. The appropriation in Non -Departmental Accounts also needs to be increased by $12.5 million to reflect this additional transfer of funds from the General Fund to the Capital Projects Fund Additionally, the appropriation for the Emergency Operations Center, Capital Project 313238, needs to be increased by $200,000 for enhancements to the air conditioning system. The construction of the city-wide Emergency Operations Center at the Fire Training Center is nearing completion. However, the existing AC system is not designed to handle the new capacity of people that will staff the EOC. The additional funds are needed for AC improvements involving redesign of the overall system, additional units to meet further capacity, protective measures against environmental forces, and mandatory enhancements for code compliance. The emergency Ordinance is necessary since the immediate availability of these funds is critical to the expeditious completion of the EOC before next hurricane season. Attachment CAG:LMH:ps
