INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members DATE: November 6, 2017
of the City Com , io
SUBJECT: Information for the
FROM: Daniel J. A . r ,o /] FY 2016-17 Year -End Budget Amendment
City Manager
Background for General Fund Amendment
The books for FY 2016-17 are now closed and it is recommended that the City Commission amend the
City's previously approved budget allocations so that the budget remains in compliance with State Law.
The City Commission has been alerted to the expectation of these adjustments to the General Fund,
Special Revenue Funds, Debt Service Funds, and the Internal Service Fund in previous monthly budget
reports and are only requested when expenditures exceed the authorized budget.
This amendment does not include rollover allocations to the Special Revenue Funds for unspent funds,
pursuant to the Financial Integrity Ordinance (for Elected Officials, information Technology, Parks and
Recreation, and Public Facilities) as the currently available expenditures are unaudited, even though the
FY 2016-17 audit is already underway. The rollover of these unspent funds will be recommended in the
FY 2017-18 Mid -Year Budget Amendment.
The FY 2016-17 City's Amended General Fund Budget totaled $676.12 million. These current proposed
amendments increase the budget by $11.08 million, to a revised total of $687,20 million. This increase
in the General Fund is primarily due to higher than budgeted expenditures in a few departments as
noted below and the allocation of additional resources to the Capital Project Fund in accordance with
capital expenditures that the City Commission previously approved or knew of such as the purchase of
land located at 13 Northwest 6th Street for a new Fire Station 1 as instructed per Resolution R-17-0201
(which, as was noted when the resolution was adopted, will be reimbursed to the General Fund by the
sale of the current Fire Station 1 property in future years).
The list that follows denotes the areas of increased adjustment and summarizes the principal reasons for
each requested increase; additionally, Attachment A shows a listing of the operating units that
necessitate an increase in allocation and the proposed adjustments in revenues in order to offset the
increases.

Members of the City Commission

Adjustments to the General Fund Expenditures by Department
Neighborhood Enhancement Team
The FY 2016-17 Adopted Budget of $5.80 million is increased by $220,500, to a revised total of $6.02
million. Families appear to be experiencing homelessness in increasing numbers, and the granted
budgeted amounts to cover emergency shelter bed services to homeless families with children are
insufficient. The Homeless Trust Board voted approving an additional $440,000 at the 06/23/2017
Meeting. Thus, the City of Miami Homeless Assistance Programs are using General Fund dollars to pay
for this service until an amendment to the Hotel/Motel Placement Program Contract will be fully
executed resulting in complete reimbursement to the General Fund of those expenditures.
Resilience and Sustainability
The FY 2016-17 Adopted Budget of $239,800 is increased by $3,500 to a revised total of $243,300, The
increase is due to the revenue received from a 100 Resilient Cities grant ($170,000) being recognized as
revenue instead of being credited to the salary line -item to reduce expenditures.
Building
The FY 2016-17 Adopted Budget of $10.24 million is increased by $407,400 to a revised total of $10.65
million. The increase is due to higher than budgeted "Other Contractual Services" which were necessary
to conduct plans review, structural review, and inspection services to meet the demands and
expectations for building permits and hence increase building revenues. Even though this funding is
from the General Fund, it is not supported by property tax revenues. It is fully funded with permit and
inspection revenues.
Solid Waste
The FY 2016-17 Adopted Budget of $31.48 million is increased by $112,800 to a revised total of $31.60
million. The increase is primarily due to overtime caused by Hurricane Irma that will be reclassified to
Disaster Recovery in the Special Revenue Fund in the thirteenth month adjustment period in FY 2017.
Capital Improvements
The FY 2016-17 Adopted Budget of $2.82 million is increased by $22,700 to a revised total of $2.85
million. The increase is due to personnel expenditures that were not eligible to charge to capital
projects.
Fire -Rescue
Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Commission
Page 3 of 6
The FY 2016-17 Adopted Budget of $126.19 million is increased by $693,500 to a revised total of
$126.89 million. The increase is due primarily to overtime expenditures for special events that exceeded
the special event overtime budget by $887,500. The Department was involved in more off -duty events
than anticipated. The Fire Rescue Department revenues for special events exceeded the budget by
$1.23 million.
Transfers -OUT
The FY 2016-17 Adopted Budget of $57.74 million is increased by $14.62 million to a revised total of
$72.36 million. The increase is due to the allocation of additional funding to the Capital and Special
Revenue Funds as follows:
• A transfer to Community Development for Affordable Housing in the amount of $306,000. This
Transfers -IN from NDA account to the Community Development "Special Revenue Funds" is
necessary to avoid the limitation of time set by the General Fund and to accomplish the task for
which it was intended and approved as per Resolution R-16-0594. These funds were set aside
in the General fund in FY 2016-17 at the Second Budget Hearing for Citywide Affordable
Housing issues and will need to be rolled over into FY 2017-18 by being transferred out to a
Special Revenue fund. The funding amount does not change, only that it will be spent in FY
2017-18 instead of in FY 2016-17.
• A transfer in the amount of $2.27 million to Special Revenue Fund "Departmental Improvement
Initiative" for the Department of Real Estate and Asset Management rollover account for the
Settlement currently in progress with the Hyatt Equities, LLC for the maintenance of the Miami
Convention Center as previously allocated and approved in the mid -year budget appropriation
by Resolution R-17-0205. The funding amount does not change, only that it will be spent in FY
2017-18 instead of in FY 2016-17.
• A transfer to Special Revenue Fund "Departmental Improvement Initiative" in the amount of
$115,000 to cover the estimated prior years deficit for the EB-5 project.
• A transfer of the Contingency Reserves undesignated in Non -Departmental Accounts in the
amount of $5.00 million (R-16-0444) to Special Revenue Fund "Emergency Funds" to serve as
reserve for future unreimbursed expenditures for Hurricane Irma.
• A transfer in the amount of $267,000 to cover the full cost of the Workforce Program for the
period beginning July 2016 through June 2017 due to less reimbursement than budgeted.
• A transfer to Capital Project Fund in the amount of $3.54 million for the purchase of land
located at 13 Northwest 6th Street as instructed per Resolution R-17-0201 that will be
reimbursed to the General Fund in future years.
• A transfer to Capital Project Fund in the amount of $350,000 for Citywide Environmental
Remediation.
• A transfer to Capital Project Fund in the amount of $450,000 to Solid Waste for Heavy
Equipment Purchase.
Honorable Mayor and
Members of the City Commission
Page 4 of 6
• A transfer to Capital Project Fund in the amount of $469,000 for the Museum Park Walkway
project B-30538H pursuant to Resolution R-17-0391.
• A transfer to Capital Project Fund in the amount of $420,000 for Curtis Park Environmental
Remediation
• A transfer to Capital Project Fund in the amount of $1,436,300 to continue funding for the
projects recommended for Street Bond Series 2 defunding.
Other General Fund Considerations
The Department of Community and Economic Development's FY 2016-17 Adopted Budget of $3.48
million remains unchanged. The Department funds public service activities using funds allocated in
General Fund. There are several agencies that requested an extension of time to their current contracts
and still have a balance as of September 30, 2017, but it does not receive rollover funds at the end of
the fiscal year. However, the Department will request to allocate the balance on current contracts to a
Special Revenue Fund in the Mid -Year Budget Amendment process to continue funding the services
offered by these agencies. The funding amount does not change, only that it will be spent in FY 2017-18
instead of in FY 2016-17.
General Fund Budget Reallocation (See Attachment A)
It is recommended to increase the General Fund revenues Budget by $11.08 million (See details in
Attachment A) to offset the above noted expenditure increase requests.
Adjustments to Special Revenue Funds
Adjustments in the Special Revenue Funds are normally due to the acceptance of additional grants and
the receipt of new program revenues that were not previously allocated as part of the mid -year budget
adopted by the City Commission.
The Special Revenue Fund Budget that was initially approved by the City Commission in September 2016
and amended in April 2017 totaled $169.45 million. This Budget Amendment adds $7.24 million for a
revised total Special Revenue Fund Budget of $176.69 million. The budget changes (Attachment B) are
further described below. Adjustments of Tess than $25,000 will not have resolutions associated with
them in accordance with Section 18-115 of the City Code.
Departmental Improvement initiative
The FY 2016-17 Adopted Budget of $14.34 million is increased by $575,000 to a revised total of $14.91
million. The increase is due to the acceptance of the Summer Youth Program 2017 Grant per Resolution
R-17-0191 ($367,500), the acceptance of Employ Miami Dade Grant per Resolution R-17-0046

Homeless Programs

Resolution R-15-0516.
Parks and Recreation Services
The FY 2016-17 Adopted Budget of $1.90 million is increased by $948,000 to a revised total of $2.85
million. The increase is due to the acceptance of the iHeart Senior Program FY 2017-18 grant ($20,000),
FY17-18 Community Tree Planting Project ($10,000) both per City Manager agreement, and the
Disability State Program grant FY 2017-2021 per Resolution R-17-0246 ($918,000).
Planning Services
The FY 2016-17 Adopted Budget of $15.76 million remains unchanged; a transfer in the amount of $1.6
million from Development Regional Impact (DRI) Fees to Capital Project Fund for the BCC Traffic Circle B-
30837A pursuant to Resolution R-14-0219 will be included in the Operating Transfers at yearend.
Police Services

Resolution R-16-0555, and "2016-2017 U.S. Marshals Service" ($100,000) as per Resolution R-17-0038.

Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (HIDTA) Operation "Jumpout" ($20,000), HIDTA Operation "Quiet Storm"
($20,000), and HIDTA Operation "Round II" ($20,000).
Adjustments to Debt Service Funds
The FY 2016-17 Adopted Budget of $78.40 million is increased by $114.47 million to a revised total of

Members of the City Commission
Page 6 of 6

Adjustments to Internal Service Fund
The FY 2016-17 Adopted Budget of $84.46 million is increased by $6.42 million to a revised total of
