Finnie Re: FY 2009 Budget Amendment Interim City Manager Attached you will find the Amended Operating Budget for FY 2009. Below, you will find more detailed information explaining the proposed amendments. Overall, the budget appropriation is to be increased from $34,051,189 to $34,500,339. This is an increase of$449,150 or 1.3%,however we will still remain 4.7% lower than the FY 2008 Amended Budget of$36,207,545. We do see the effect of the declining economy on revenue. Interest, Utility Taxes, Franchise Fees, and Permit revenue are suffering under the weight of the national recession. The FY 2009 Budget Amendment balances the demand for services by the residents with the economic outlook of the State. REVENUE Revenue in the General Fund will increase from $15,986,635 to $16,427,912. This is a net increase of $441,277 or 2.8%. This is the result of several changes discussed below. Interest Revenue has experienced a sharp decline this fiscal year. Citywide, Interest Revenue is expected to decrease by$279,350. Details are shown below: FY 2008 FY 2009 Actual thru FY 2009 Fund Actual Budget Jan 31, 2009 Amended Difference General Fund $113,163 $150,000 $9,088 $35,000 $(115,000) Special Law Enforcement Fund 4,316 3,100 340 1,000 (2.100) Capital Imp. Debt Service Fund 5,927 12,000 22 100 (11,900) Capital Acquisition Fund 380 450 0 100 (350) Water and Sewer Fund 185,759 200,000 17,316 50,000 (150,000) Total $309,545 $365,550 $26,763 $86,200 $(279,350) Currently, the City's interest revenue is based on the Federal Funds Rate. In recent months, that rate has declined to less than 1%. 1 Also, the State of Florida Legislative Committee on Intergovernmental Relations (LCIR) has also reduced revenue estimates of General Revenue collections. Several revenue items are affected by this action. Details are shown below. Oct 1 Revised Difference Percent Fund Revenue Item Estimate Estimate Change General Fund Local Option Gas Tax - 5% $84,890 $79,370 $(5,520) -6.5% General Fund Local Option Gas Tax - 6% 224,060 209,500 (14,560) -6.5% Capital Imp Fund State Revenue Sharing 512,440 480,295 (32,145) -6.3% Capital Imp Fund Half Cent Sales Tax 1,003,910 954,715 (49,195) -4.9% The revenue reduction in the Capital Improvement Fund has a direct impact on revenue in the General Fund. Revenue in the Capital Improvement Fund is used to pay the debt service on the 1994 Capital Improvement Revenue bonds and the surplus revenue is transferred to the General Fund. Any decrease in revenue in the Capital Improvement Fund will decrease the transfer in to the General Fund. Therefore, the decrease in State Revenue Sharing, Half Cent Sales Tax and Interest in the amount of $93,240 has reduced the transfer in to the General Fund by the same amount. Also, as a direct result of the slumping economic conditions (stagnant growth, decreased construction, increased foreclosures, increased unemployment), we are projecting decreases in other revenue items in the General Fund as follows: Oct 1 Revised Difference Percent Revenue Item Estimate Estimate Change Utility Tax—FPL $830,975 $780,975 $(50,000) -6.0% Franchise Fee—FPL 1,200,000 1,025,000 (175,000) -14.6% Franchise Fee—BFI 35,000 20,000 (15,000) -42.9% Building Permits 300,000 180,000 (120,000) -40.0% Electrical Permits 51,200 45,000 (6,200) -12.1% Plumbing Permits 38,000 33,000 (5,000) -13.2% Other revenue changes in the General Fund include: Grant Revenue * Inclusion of Byrne Grant in the amount of$14,325 * Increase in anticipated grant revenue from COPPS Grant- $41,695 * Increase in anticipated grant revenue FRDAP Grant- $38,500 * Inclusion of new grant revenue for the Police Partnership for Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) in the amount $25,000. * Reimbursement of Police JAG grant expenses incurred in the prior year in the amount of$23,695 Code Enforcement revenue Increase of$80,000 Due to increased activity False Alarm Penalty Fee Increase of$500 Due to increased activity Lease and Rental Income Decrease of$7,200 Decrease in receipts from DJJ Sale of Fixed Assets Increase of$40,000 Sale of property to Aramark Miscellaneous Revenue Increase of$25,000 Due to increased activity Transfer In from PTT Addition of$704,382 Reimbursement to the General Fund for project payments made on behalf of PTT 2 In the Capital Projects Fund, revenue will reduce by$450,000 due to a reduction in the transfer coming from the General Fund. Specific changes in activities are as follows: $(620,000.00) - Elimination of the match to the NW 128th Street Project—This project is not expected to begin in FY 2009. $50,000.00 - Inclusion of funds to demolish unsafe structures. These properties will subsequently be liened. $40,000.00 - Inclusion of funds for playground equipment at Ingram Park. $80,000.00 - Inclusion of funds to finance a Pilot Green Housing Project initiative. We plan to partner with the Miami Dade County Housing Finance Agency. In the Solid Waste Fund, revenue will reduce by $15,500 due to a reduction in the transfer coming from the General Fund. Specific changes in activities are as follows: $(8,000.00) - Reduction in solid waste disposal to $52,000; Actual expenses through Jan 31St are less than$9,000.00. $(7,500.00) - Reduction in recycling costs to $62,500; the contract with Miami Dade County was signed at the beginning of December and we only expect expenses for 10 months of service. In the FEMA Fund, revenue will increase by $160,000 due to revenue received for expenses incurred in response to prior year disasters. In the Crime Prevention Fund, revenue will increase by $35,000. Specific changes in activities are as follows: $45,000.00 - Increase in grant revenue from the Children's Trust due to the new allocation beginning February 1, 2009 and ending January 31, 2010. $(10,000.00) - Reduction of the transfer in from the General Fund due to the General Fund's decreased ability to provide this resource. In the DJJ/Opa-locka Youth Academy Fund, revenue will decrease by$180,319 due to the expectation of decreased revenue from the granting agency. Revenue in this program is tied to the number of clients serviced. Over the past year, the program has seen a sharp decline in the number of clients. EXPENSES In the General Fund, expenses will increase by $441,277. Significant changes by department are as follows: City Manager - Increase in personnel costs of $267,825 due to separation costs of the previous City Manager(J. Beverly) and the hiring of additional personnel. City Manager—Contingencies—Increase of$35,000 from$50,000 to $85,000 for emergencies. City Manager — Special Events — Increase of $31,862 for special events from $32,000 to $63,862. Expenses as of January 31st were$50,545. 3 City Manager—General Government- • Reduction in Unemployment Compensation by $10,000 and Worker's Compensation by $50,000 due to decreased activity. In the case of Worker's Comp, the City recently settled a long standing case that will contribute to the reduced payments. • Other Contracted Services was reduced by $185,000. These dollars were primarily redistributed to departments for contracted services related to the website design, construction audit and planning consultant. • The lease for the 1St Floor Utility Billing space was deferred until FY 2010. This will result in estimated savings of$30,000. • Promotional activities was increased by $50,000 for street naming services. • Office Equipment was increased by $90,000 to fund the audio and visual outfitting of the 2nd Floor Commission Chambers to allow for"Live"broadcasting of Commission meetings and to purchase furniture for the 2nd Floor Commission Chambers that will be used during Commission meetings and for rental use of the room. Information Technology — Increase in personnel costs of$28,400 due to the funding of an additional position and an increase in contracted services of$30,000 for the website designer. City Manager—Transfers - • Reduction of transfer in to Crime Prevention in the amount of $10,000 due to decreased revenue. • Funding of demolition in the amount of$50,000. • Funding for playground equipment at Ingram Park in the amount of$40,000. • Funding of a Green Pilot Program in the amount of$80,000. • Elimination of the match of$620,000 for the NW 128th Street Project. • Reduction in the transfer in to the Solid Waste Fund in the amount of$15,500. City Attorney — Reduction in contracted services of$35,000. These dollars were for payment of the Special Master, however those expenses are charged to Code Enforcement. Funding has moved from the City Attorney's budget to the Code Enforcement budget. Also, Contingencies has increased by $348,000 due to payment of several settlements and the services of outside legal counsel. City Attorney—Risk Management— Insurance was reduced by$100,000. The expense was transferred to the Water and Sewer Fund. Finance Department— • Other Professional Services in the amount of $40,000 was added to pay the fee of the payroll company. This fee was previously paid from the Human Resources budget, however it was inadvertently omitted from the FY 2009 Budget. • Personnel Costs increased by $31,590 due to the Grant Writer position moving from the City Manager's Department. • Auditing was increased by$20,000 for the construction audit services. 4 Human Resources—The Risk/Safety Coordinator position was deferred until FY 2010.

Code Enforcement—Personnel costs increased by $80,260 due to overtime and the hiring of additional personnel and other professional services increased by$15,000 for the Special Master services.

Improvements Other Than Building was increased by$40,000 for park improvements. Police Department— • Personnel Costs increased by $128,485. This is the net affect of an increase in overtime of $400,000 and the reduction in other salary costs due to the savings from unfilled positions and the de-funding of five unfilled police officer positions. • Contracted services were decreased by $51,500 due to a change in priorities. This was originally funded to contract with Miami Dade County for dispatch services. A portion of the remaining dollars will be utilized for the Weed & Seed Program. • Computer equipment in the amount of $220,000 was included for the Police Records Management System. These expenses were originally budgeted in FY 2008 but the project began in FY 2009. This system in funded by grant revenue. • Automotive Equipment was reduced by $45,000 and Automotive Purchase was reduced by $70,000 due to reduction in the number of vehicles purchased and the timing of the vehicle purchases.

In the Capital Acquisition Fund, General Expenses will reduce by $350 to $100 due to a decrease in Interest Revenue. These expenses are only used to pay bank service charges. In the Capital Projects Fund, expenses will reduce by $450,000 to $2,890,960 due to the reduced transfer in from the General Fund for projects. In the Special Law Enforcement Fund, General Expenses will decrease by $2,100 to $24,600 due to a decrease in Interest Revenue. In the DJJ/ Opa-locka Youth Academy Fund, overall expenses will decrease by $180,319 to $198,310 to match the expected revenue.
