INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Commission
FRO; Emilio T. Gonzalez
City Manager
DATE: April 17, 2018
SUBJECT: Information for the
FY 2017-18 Mid -Year
Budget Amendment
Background for the Recommended General Fund Amendments
The Mid -Year Budget Amendment for FY 2017-18 gives the new administration the opportunity to
recommend budgetary adjustments to the ongoing adopted budget that align with needs that have arisen
since the adoption of the current budget and allow the re -alignment of priorities on a going forward basis.
Along with changes to policy or emphasis, these adjustments are recommended for additional reasons
such as unforeseen differences in revenue or expense projections, changes in law, and modifications to
implementation. The accompanying proposed Budget Resolution is brought to the Commission for
consideration.
This recommendation is the maximum amount that the City can afford in the mid -year budget
amendment by effectively spending budget surplus in the current year. It takes into account the most
recent projections from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) and the needs of all departments to
address trends that have developed in light of the priorities of the new administration. These
recommendations set the tone and include many of the enhancements that would normally be proposed
in next year's budget. As such it does not reserve for additional changes to the budget such as lawsuits,
economic downturns, large weather events, or spending beyond that anticipated in the monthly budget
projections. Because these recommendations are as much as can be afforded, if new information comes
to light during the remainder of the year, the administration will take internal measures to reduce
spending. It should also be noted that many of these amendments will have ongoing financial impacts.
This memorandum describes the operational budget changes that are recommended for FY 2017-18. The
proposed net changes for the General Fund amount to $8.87 million or approximately one percent of the
Adopted General Fund Budget ($726.83 million) as listed in Attachment A. The recommended changes to
the budget include an additional $7.97 million transfer to Capital as noted in Attachment B, allocations of
rollover funds ($689,000) pursuant to the Financial Integrity Principles (for Elected Officials, Information
Technology, Parks and Recreation, and the Department of Real Estate and Asset Management), and other
changes or corrections to various departments as noted below. Changes to the Special Revenue Funds are
detailed in Attachment C to this memorandum.

These changes are able to be made with funding from the following sources:
• Changes to the General Fund using the available budget surplus in the current year ($4.10 million)
• Additional revenues in the General Fund ($1.76 million)
• Prior year fund balance for one-time expenses such as capital projects or legal settlements ($7.11
million)
• Spending of the Building Department Reserve contained in the Non -Departmental Accounts on
permitting and development improvements including Electronic Plans Review ($5.23 million)
• Adjustments to Special Revenue and capital accounts ($2.39 million)
Among the changes included in the Special Revenue Funds is a new $2 million allocation for Citywide
Beautification Projects ($1 million from the Lane Closure Fund and $1 million from the Tree Trust Fund).
Changes to the City Table of Organization
Included in the recommendations are the merging and arranging of several functions across various
Departments and Offices to better accomplish the priorities stated above.
The Information Technology Department is proposed to be renamed the Innovation and Technology
Department with an expanded set of responsibilities that include the proposed incorporation of four
positions transferred from the City Manager's Office (including the Chief Innovation Officer and the
Strategic Planning and Performance Manager). The funding for these four positions is proposed to be
partially absorbed by the Innovation and Technology Department and partially added to the Department.
The Public Works Department is proposed to be renamed the Public Works and Sustainability Department,
also with an expanded set of responsibilities and includes the proposed incorporation of four positions
transferred from the Office of Resilience and Sustainability and the proposed incorporation of eight
positions transferred from the Office of Transportation Management. All Trolley Operations and
Sustainability functions are proposed to be added to the Public Works and Sustainability Department. The
remaining two positions from the former Office of Transportation Management are proposed to be
transferred to the Office of Capital Improvements to accomplish traffic studies while the remaining one
position in the former Office of Resilience and Sustainability is proposed to be transferred to the City
Manager's Office to assist with administrative and legislative support. The funding for these positions is
proposed to be transferred along with the positions. If these recommendations are enacted, the Office of
Resilience and Sustainability and the Office of Transportation Management will no longer be on the City of
Miami Table of Organization, but the functions and funding will continue to exist in the newly named
Departments, including both general and special revenue funding.
Other proposed changes to the Citywide Table of Organization are explained in each of the departmental
sections below and shown in Attachment D to this memorandum.

Recommended Adjustments to the General Fund Revenue Line Items (figures detailed in Attachment A)
Transfers -In
The FY 2017-18 Adopted Budget for Transfers -In is $6.46 million. It is recommended that the budget be
increased by $558,000; $476,000 to account for prior revenues from Miami Rowing Club that belong to
the General Fund (Resolution R-11-0315 and R-09-022) that were previously deposited to Parks Capital
Project Fund 35000 (this is a technical fix to the operating budget) and $82,000 from the Mayor's Special
Revenue Funds to the Mayor's General Fund Budget.
Other Revenues
The FY 2017-18 Adopted Budget is $22.73 million. It is recommended that the budget be increased by
$7.27 million as noted below:
• Increase in the amount of $1.2 million in the Fire -Rescue Department due to higher than
anticipated revenues for special events.
• Even though the Office of Community and Economic Development is not a department listed in
the Financial Integrity Principles as one that would gain unspent funds from prior years, it is
treated as such (in this case only) in order not to leave a gap in funding with the outside private
agencies to which the City has already allocated funding that was budgeted to be spent in FY
2016-17. As such, it is recommended that $306,000 of prior year unspent funds be allocated to
the Office of Community and Economic Development.
• Allocate prior year unspent funds in the amount of $689,000 in the departments (Mayor,
Commissioners, Information Technology, Parks and Recreation, and Department of Real Estate
and Asset Management) in accordance with the Financial Integrity Principles.

cases, such as the City Attorney's Office, the historic trend does not hold true into the new year and
additional funds are proposed to be added to the department to cover the difference.

Changes in Special Revenue Funds (figures detailed in Attachment C)

of the Elected Officials, Parks and Recreation, Information Technology, and Department of Real Estate and

organizations in the current year.

of grants accepted by the City Commission that were not captured in the Adopted Budget as of October
2017. These grants include actual cash awards, as well as reimbursement grants for various Special

changes to Special Revenue funds are needed to allocate the remaining prior year available fund balance
based upon the reconciliation of the year end revenues and expenditures.
