MEMORANDUM
To: Ed Brown,Interim City Manager
Cc: Ernesto Reyes,Budget Administrator
From: William Green,Assistant City Manager
Date: September 1,2017
Re: 2018 Revised Budget
Getting a grasp on the revenues and expenses has been a huge undertaking for the Budget Administrator
and myself, taking into account that the Budget Administrator had a little more than 3 months to
construct a budget from beginning to completion and I have only been working with him for a few
weeks.What we have discovered is the City of Opa-locka's financial condition is better than originally
anticipated.
Bank Account Balances
We have discovered that both the General Fund Operating account and the Water and Sewer Operating
account both have significant cash balances. As a result, these cash balances will allow us to make
significant changes to the proposed budget. The Water and Sewer Operating account currently has
approx. $1.7 million and the General Fund Operating account has about$4.9 million dollars. These
balances will roll over to the new budget cycle and allow the City to stabilize its accounts. In addition
the Water and Sewer account and the General Fund Operating account also have $1.2 million and
$230,000 in reserves respectively. These balances will require some changes to the Fiscal Year 2018
budget.
Revenue Adjustments
In the proposed FY 2018 budget the expected total revenue to the General Fund for the City was
$16,379,354.This balance assumed that there would be a fund balance of$1.1 million from FY 2017.
With the actual fund balance turning out to be closer to$4.9 million,it's proposed to use the funds to
address more of the needs of the City now and eliminate some of cautionary adjustments needed to
balance the fund initially. The new budget uses $3.7 million of fund balance leaving approx. $1.3
million in fund balance to help cover for emergencies.In this revised budget we propose the following:
1. To reduce the millage rate from 10 mills to 8.999 mills.
2. To allocate an additional$500,000 to the General Fund reserve.
3. To allocate substantial revenues for needed capital improvement projects. i.e.drainage,road
repair and canal slope stabilization.
4. To eliminate the Administrative Cost reimbursement for FY 2017 and for FY 2018 from the
Water and Sewer Fund to the General Fund.Eliminating this reimbursement helps the Water
and Sewer Fund to be self-sustaining.
5. To eliminate the transfer of revenue from the General Fund to the Water and Sewer Fund.
These adjustments to the budget plus the increase in the rollover from FY 2017 would bring our new
revenue balance in the General Fund to$17,008,598.
Expense Adjustments
Employee Salaries
As you are aware in March of this year the decision was made to adjust the salaries of the majority of
the employees of the City. A progressive scale was created that adjusted the employee's salary by 2%,
5%, or 10% depending on how much their annual salary was. In the revised FY 2018 budget it is
proposed to bring all of the employees' salaries back to what is was before the reduction. The total
citywide personnel expenditures adjustment is$321,515. This adjusted amount is a reflection of the
changes to the revised budget versus the proposed budget presented at the August 16th Budget
Workshop.
In addition to bringing the employee'whole again there are a few increases over the FY 2017.The Asst
Clerk was never given the raise associated with the change of her title from"interim".This oversight
was corrected in this budget. In the Manager's office there is a change from one ACM to two AGMs
and the cost associated with this change.As well as,this budget takes into consideration the adjustment
that would be needed to the Manager's office when the Commission enters into a contract for the City
Manager.
Increases in Personnel
This proposed revised budget has the following personnel changes:
1. The move from one ACM to two ACMs. ert-
2. The increase of 3 PT inspectors from 7 to 14-days/pay period.
3. A part-time addition to City Clerk's office to address Commission concerns.
4. Creation of a Sanitation division in Public Works.
Decreases to Current line items
This proposed revised budget has the following line item changes:
1. The CITT obligation($100,000) is covered in the August 4th agreement with the County.
2. Reduction in the Risk Management Payment($173,000)
3. Removal of the City Clerk's CRA expense account($6,663)
4. Reduction of the Encumbrance Account($359,285)
5. Removal of the transfer from General Fund to Water and Sewer($2,095,614)
Capital Projects
One of the priorities expressed to staff by elected officials and residents alike is the conditions of our
roads and canals.This proposed revised budget allocates $2.1 million dollars to these projects.More
specifically, this revision would allow for the beginning of three different projects simultaneously.
Utilizing the State Revolving Loan program and doing these projects in small phases will allow for
controlled cost and the reutilization of the same funds to complete the projects.
