COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Matti Herrera Bower and M mbers the City Commission
FROM: Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager SECOND READING
DATE: September 30, 2013
SUBJECT: AN ORDINANCE OF THE MAYOR ND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH,
FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER 110 OF THE MIAMI BEACH CITY CODE ENTITLED
"UTILITIES,"AMENDING ARTICLE IV, ENTITLED "FEES, CHARGES, RATES AND BILLING
PROCEDURE THEREOF;"AMENDING DIVISION 2 THEREOF,ENTITLED"RATES,FEES AND
CHARGES," AMENDING APPENDIX A ENTITLED "FEE SCHEDULE" TO INCREASE THE
SANITARY SEWER SERVICE CHARGE IMPOSED BY THE CITY AS PASS THROUGH OF THE
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY RATE INCREASE PURSUANT TO SECTION 110-168(A); PROVIDING
FOR CODIFICATION, REPEALER, SEVERABILITY,AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends approving the Ordinance amendment on Second Reading Public
Hearing, setting water and sewer rates for FY 2013/14.
ANALYSIS
The City's utility rates for water and sanitary sewer services are structured to collect the necessary
revenues to meet annual operating and maintenance costs of the water and sanitary sewer
infrastructure,to cover debt service for water and sewer bonds to maintain adequate operating fund
reserves, and,to pay Miami-Dade County for wholesale water purchased,the treatment of the City's
sewage and other fees. Increasing the sanitary sewer rate in the amount of the increase imposed
by the County, and maintaining the existing water rate to pay all other costs listed above will keep
the City water and sewer funds balanced.
In general, the rates for water supply and sanitary sewer services consist of:
• Pass-through of the wholesale rate the City pays to Miami-Dade County for
the purchase of potable water and treatment of sewage;
• Debt service for the Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds;
• Operating and maintenance costs for the water and sewer utility;
• 7.5% fee of previous year total revenue paid to the Miami-Dade County
Environmental Resource Management Department (DERM).
It is expected that the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD)will continue the same
level of irrigation restrictions long-term. Therefore, we are using current fiscal year's water
consumption levels to forecast future fiscal year revenues, which reflect a slight increase in the
consumption of water from previous years.

increase of$0.2995 above the current rate of$2.1528. The cost of the proposed FY2013/14 sewer
rate increase to Miami Beach is approximately $2,425,000. The sole purpose of the ordinance
amendment is to pass through the WASD rate increase. The proposed wholesale water and sewer
rates are subject to approval by the Board of County Commissioners at their Public Budget
Hearings, scheduled for September 10 and September 19, 2013.
The sewer rate increase for FY2013/14 is $0.2995 per 1,000 gallons. There is no increase in the
