SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE FY 2010/11 GENERAL FUND
BUDGET AND THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE ENTERPRISE,
INTERNAL SERVICE AND RESORT TAX FUNDS BUDGETS FOR
FISCAL YEAR (FY) 2010/11
WHEREAS, certain departments reflect additional expenses in excess of the budget,
primarily due to increased pension contributions, increased payments to Miami-Dade County for purchase
of wholesale water, increased contributions for "Other Post Employment Benefits" (OPEB) based on
actuarial requirements, increased fuel costs, increases in certain Resort Tax Fund expenditures which are
based on a percent of revenues received; and
WHEREAS,these additional expenses are offset by increased revenues and expenditure
savings in other areas; and
WHEREAS,the Administration has performed a review of preliminary year-end actual and
it is anticipated that the General Fund will have an overall initial operating budget surplus of$3.66 million;
and
WHEREAS, the City's financial policies adopted pursuant to Resolution 2006-26341 and
Resolution 2002-24764 require one time revenues(such as the year-end surplus)must be used for non-
recurring expenses, and that at least half of each annual year-end surplus must be allocated to the City's
Capital Reserve Fund; and
WHEREAS, however,the City's Capital Reserve was established in FY 2005/06 at a time
when the industry was at a peak,with project bids often coming in significantly higher than budgeted;today
is a very different market,with construction bids being received significantly under project budgets;and the
Capital Reserve has accumulated approximately$12 million in funding; and
WHEREAS, as a result, it is recommended that the Commission waive the policy that
requires that at least half of the FY 2010/11 year-end surplus be used to fund the City's Capital Reserve
Fund; and
WHEREAS,the transfer of an additional$2 million from the Resort Tax Fund to the General
Fund in FY 2010/11 is recommended, resulting in the same level of transfers as budgeted for FY 2011/12;
and
WHEREAS, $275,281 in General Fund encumbrances from FY 2010/11 for goods or
services which have been procured but not yet received and expended, needs to be set-aside for re-
appropriation in FY 2011/12; and
WHEREAS, FY 2010/11 General Fund appropriations totaling approximately$427,000 not
expended or encumbered in FY 2010/11 is recommended to be set aside for appropriation and expenditure
in FY 2011/12; and
WHEREAS,the FY 2012/13 budget will have an initial shortfall as the$3.6 million surplus
set-aside from prior years for FY 2011/12 will not be available for FY 2012/13; and
WHEREAS, it is recommended that the remaining$3.4 million surplus be reserved as a set
aside for the FY 2012/13 General Fund Budget and
WHEREAS, Florida Statutes prohibit the over expenditure of departmental budgets and
funds.
NOW,THEREFORE, BE IT DULY RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, that the policy is waived for FY 2010/11 requiring that fifty
percent of year-end surplus in the General Fund be used to increase funding in the City's Capital Reserve
Fund; and that the second amendment to the FY 2010/11 General Fund budget, and the first amendment
to the Enterprise Funds, Internal Service Funds, and Resort Tax Fund budgets are adopted as shown on

COMMISSION ITEM SUMMARY
Condensed Title:
A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA,
ADOPTING THE SECOND AMENDMENT TO THE FY 2010/11 GENERAL FUND BUDGET AND THE FIRST
AMENDMENT TO THE ENTERPRISE,INTERNAL SERVICE AND RESORT TAX FUNDS BUDGETS FOR FISCAL
YEAR (FY)2010/11
A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA,
ADOPTING THE FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE GENERAL FUND, ENTERPRISE, INTERNAL SERVICE AND
SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS BUDGETS FOR FISCAL YEAR(FY)2011/12 TO APPROPRIATE ENCUMBRANCES
AND PRIOR APPROPRIATIONS CARRIED FORWARD FROM FY 2010/11 AND TO APPROPRIATE FUNDS
CARRIED FORWARD FOR SPECIAL REVENUE BUDGETS
Key Intended Outcome Supported:
Ensure expenditure trends are sustainable over the long term
Improve the City's overall financial health and maintain overall bond rating
Supporting Data (Surveys, Environmental Scan, etc.):
The$3.6 million in prior year surplus set-aside for FY 2011/12 will not be available for FY 2012/13,immediately
creating a gap that will need to be addressed in FY 2012/13.
Issue:
Whether to adopt the amendments to the FY 2010/11 and FY 2011/12 operating budgets.
Item Summa /Recommendation:
Overall,there is a General Fund operating budget surplus of$3,658,538(1.5%of budget). This surplus is despite
an estimated revenue shortfall of approximately $2.1 million and pension contributions in excess of budget by
approximately$665,000 as explained in prior quarterly projection reports. Combined,this represents the absorption
of nearly$2.8 million in deviations from budget, once again reflecting the pro-active initiatives taken by the City to
reduce expenses below the adopted budget.Further,an additional$2 million in Resort Tax transfer is recommended
for FY 2010/11,consistent with the level of transfer included in the FY 2011/12 budget,and supported by increased
Resort Tax revenues. However,the$1,546,709 previously budgeted Building Reserves to help offset FY 2010/11
Building Department expenses is recommended not be used for FY 2010/11,given the preliminary actual revenues
and expenditures of the Building Department in FY 2010/11, Instead it is recommended that those funds remain
available for future years.
In addition,there are$275,281 in encumbrances from FY 2010/11 for goods or services which have been procured
but not yet received and expended,which will need to be re-appropriated in FY 2011/12 and$426,704 in FY 2010/11
General Fund appropriations not expended or encumbered in FY 2010/11 be set aside for appropriation and
expenditure in FY 2011/12. The resulting impact of these changes is a revised net surplus of$3,409,844.
An amendment to the FY 2011/12 budget is also needed to provide the authorization necessary for departments to
expend $275,281, $77,344 and $307,069 in General, Enterprise and Internal Service Funds encumbrances,
respectively from FY 2010/11 for goods or services which were procured but not received and expended as of
September 30,2011;re-appropriates$426,704 in FY 2011/12 for General Fund items appropriated but not expended
or encumbered in FY 2010/11 and$199,895 in Special Revenue Fund appropriations for Education Compact Funds
appropriated in prior years to be used for teacher development programs and fees to the International Baccalaureate
Organization; Green/Sustainability Funds and Waste Hauler Additional Services and Public Benefit Contributions
Funds.

ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the resolution amending the FY 2010/11 General Fund, Enterprise Funds, Internal
Service Funds and Resort Tax Fund Budgets, appropriating funds to cover prior year
encumbrances, and amend certain department budgets.
Adopt the resolution amending the FY 2011/12 General Fund Budget, appropriating
encumbrances carried forward from FY 2010/11 and appropriating special revenue funds
carried forward from FY 2010/11 to FY 2011/12.
GENERAL FUND ANALYSIS
The year-end budget to preliminary actual comparisons are presented in the following
pages.
These comparisons show that, overall, there is an operating budget surplus of $3,658,538
(1.5%) in the General Fund. A summary of the preliminary General Fund Revenues and
Expenditures as of September 30, 2011 is as follows:

Surplus/ Deficit $ 0 $ 3,658,538 $ 3,658,538
Note: * The amended budget reflected above includes the budget amendment that
was adopted February, 2011. This amendment authorized the use of$1.95 million in
reserves to be set aside for the FY 2011/12 budget, and had no net impact on
revenues versus expenditures
It is important to note that this is despite an estimated revenue shortfall of approximately
$2.1 million and pension contributions in excess of budget by approximately $665,000 as
explained in prior quarterly projection reports. Combined, this represents the absorption of
nearly $2.8 million in deviations from budget, once again reflecting the pro-active initiatives
taken by the City to reduce expenses below the adopted budget. These initiatives included
the continuation of a modified hiring freeze, delayed hiring of other positions, re-bidding of
contracts where appropriate to take advantage of the. more competitive economic
environment, close scrutiny of major purchases, and continuous evaluation of
opportunities to reduce costs in all departments.
Further, given how we ended the year in the Resort Tax Fund and the fact that Resort Tax
related expenses in the General Fund are estimated to be above the level of the budgeted
transfer, I am recommending that the Resort Tax transfer to the General Fund for FY
2010/11 be increased by $2 million, consistent with the level of transfer included in the FY
2011/12 budget.
At the same time, I am recommending that the $1,546,709 previously budgeted Building
Reserves to help offset FY 2010/11 Building Department expenses not be used at for FY
2010/11, but rather continue to be held in reserve for future years given the uncertainty in
the construction industry. As you may recall, the General Fund Revenue Budget included
the use of the $1,546,709 in Building Department Reserves. Given the preliminary actual
revenues and expenditures of the Building Department in FY 2010/11, the use of this
reserve is not needed. Instead those funds will remain available for future years.
In addition, there are $275,281 in encumbrances from FY 2010/11 for goods or services
which have been procured but not yet received and expended, which will need to be re-
appropriated in FY 2011/12. Further, it is recommended that the following FY 2010/11
General Fund appropriations totaling $426,704 not expended or encumbered in FY
2010/11 be set aside for appropriation and expenditure in FY 2011/12. These funds need
to be set aside in order to ensure that they are available for re-appropriation in FY 2011/12
when it is anticipated that the goods and/or services will be received.
• $66,143 of the remaining balance of funds previously set aside for transportation of
senior citizens. This fund was created several years ago with initial funding of
$150,000. Setting the remaining balance aside will ensure that it is available for re-
appropriation and expenditure in FY 2011/12.
• $132,000 for ongoing assessments of City buildings — these assessments were
deferred in FY 2010/11 but are needed in FY 2011/12 to continue to ensure major
components of City Building are replaced in a timely manner.

• $200,000 for the FY 2011/12 elections — in FY 2010/11 we began funding for
elections in level annual amounts each year rather than funding every other year
when elections occur. In order for these funds to be available in FY 2011/12 for
the November 12 elections, they should be set aside in FY 2010/11.
• $28,561 for purchase of tough books by the Public Works Department — these
were planned for FY 2010/11 but will occur in FY 2011/12.
The resulting impact of these changes would be a revised net surplus of$3,409,844.

Revised Year-end Surplus $ 3,409,844
The City's financial policies adopted pursuant to Resolution 2006-26341 and Resolution
2002-24764 require that one time revenues (such as the year-end surplus) mush be
used for non-recurring expenses, and that at least half of the annual year-end
surplus must be allocated to the City's Capital Reserve Fund. However, the City's
Capital Reserve was established in FY 2005/06 at a time when the industry was at a peak,
and project bids were often coming in significantly higher than budgeted. The market for
the last couple of years, however, has been very different, with construction bids being
received significantly under projects budgets, and at the same time, the Capital Reserve
has accumulated approximately $12 million in funding. Therefore, I am recommending
that the Capital Reserve transfer requirement again be waived for the FY 2010/11 year-
end surplus similar to what was done last year.
Further, as in FY 2008/09 and FY 2009/10, no use of the General Fund surplus is
recommended to address the City's FY 2010/11 accrued liability for post employment
benefits (primarily health insurance) pursuant to recently enacted reporting requirements
of Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement#45 (GASB 45).
The City's budgets for the last several years have been extremely challenging due to the
recession and declining property values. In response to declining revenue in several
categories, the City has responded with substantial reductions totaling $49 million and 269
positions over 5 years. In addition, employee "give-backs" totaled approximately $12
million in savings in FY 2010/11 and almost $15 million between FY 2009/10 and FY
2010/11, representing almost $64 million in combined "givebacks" and reductions
over 5 years.

First Amendment to the FY 2011/12 General Fund Budget and Special Revenue Budgets
Page 4
The FY 2010/11 budgets included the use of $3.7 million in FY 2008/09 surplus and the
FY 2011/12 budget included the use of $3.6 million set aside between FY 2009/10 and FY
2010/11. Since prior year surpluses are one-time revenue that will not be available for FY
2012/13, this creates a gap that will need to be addressed in FY 2012/13, unless other
revenues increase to offset this amount or expenditures decrease. At this time, the
outlook for FY 2012/13 property tax revenues remains uncertain; and, as an example, a
5% change in property values represents $5 million in property tax revenues, if tax rates
remain unchanged. Further, additional pension increases are anticipated for FY 2012/13
as poor investment experience from FY 2007/08 and FY 2008/09 continues to be
recognized along with poor investment experience in FY 2010/11 (although these may be
somewhat mitigated by recent changes to the pension plans and salary freezes). For this
reason, I am once again recommending that the FY 2010/11 General Fund budget be
amended to set aside $3.4 million in a reserve for possible use to address potential
shortfalls in the FY 2012/13 budget, very similar to the amount budgeted for in FY
2011/12.
GENERAL FUND OPERATING REVENUE AND EXPENDITURE VARIANCES
Revenues
Preliminary year-end actual revenues are approximately 99% of the original budget or
237,405,928.
Detailed comments on those revenue categories with significant variances over $300,000
are shown in the following section.
1. Ad Valorem Property Taxes — Year-end collections of $98,707,435 are 1.5% under
budget, creating a net shortfall of $1,514,587. This is primarily due to higher than
anticipated property value appeals approved by Miami-Dade County.
2. Other Taxes -This category includes franchise and utility taxes on services. As
projected from early in the fiscal year, actual collections of$24,074,326 resulted in a
shortfall of$1.3 million, or 5%, at year-end. This is primarily due to decrease in
revenues from electric and telephone utility taxes.
3. Licenses and Permits - This category is comprised of licenses and building and
special use permits. In total, the actual collections for Licenses and Permits
exceeded budget by $2.9 million, or 9.7%. This is slightly above third quarter
projections. The majority of this increase was from building development process fee
revenues, as a result of an increased number of permits and larger projects reflecting
the improving economy.
4. Intergovernmental Revenues - Year-end collections are above budget by 3.7% or
$0.35 million. This is primarily due to increases in the local government '/2 cent sales
tax revenues, also reflecting the improving economy.
5. Fines and Forfeits - Year-end collections are below budget by 17.3% or $0.56
million. This is mainly due to lower than budgeted fines from red light cameras. As
reported to you at the March 2011 Commission meeting and quarterly projection
reports throughout the fiscal year.

6. Interest - Year-end collections are below budget by 34% or $1.2 million. This is
mainly due to reduced investment returns from long term investment vehicles that
matured in the current fiscal year and are reinvested at prevailing interest rates which
are much lower in this investment climate, as well as approximately $0.6 million in
"Unrealized Losses on Investments" which have a non-cash impact for FY 2010/11.
Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement #31 (GASB 31), implemented
in 1997, requires the City to report its investments at fair market value as if they were
immediately liquidated on September 30 each year, and to recognize these as
"unrealized gains or losses in investments", although the actual cash impact is not felt
until future years. By comparison, in FY 2008/09 and FY 2009/10, the City had a gain
of $2.3 million and a loss of $1.95 million, respectively. Although this is a non-cash
impact, it will still reflect on the financials as a loss for FY 2010/11, however, given
there remains a year-end surplus for the General Fund overall, thereby mitigating this
loss.
7. Rents and Leases — As anticipated in prior quarterly projection reports, year-end
revenues are above budget by $0.6 million, or 12%. This is due primarily to increased
revenues from various leases.
8. Miscellaneous — This category includes concessions, planning fees, and other
reimbursements. Year-end revenues are 9% below budget or approximately $1
million. As explained in prior quarterly projection reports, this is due primarily to lower
than anticipated revenues from the Commercial Pole Banner Program and corporate
sponsorships which are still being pursued and negotiated as well as decreased
reimbursement from capital projects for the Capital Improvement Office due to
vacancies. This decrease in revenues is offset by a decrease in expenditures in the
Capital Improvements Office.
Operating Expenditures
Preliminary year-end actual expenditures are approximately 98% of the original budget or
$233,747,390.
It is important to note that, at the time of adoption of the FY 2010/11 budget, the City was
at impasse with the Communication Workers of America (CWA) bargaining unit, and the
budget included the impact of several initiatives that would have significantly reduced
expenditures related to CWA employees through contracting, conversion to part-time
schedules for more efficient scheduling, etc. (Plan B). The first-year savings from these
initiatives amounted to over $200,000 in the General Fund across various departments.
Not being able to anticipate the outcome of these negotiations at the time of adopting the
budget, an increased operating contingency was budgeted under the Citywide Accounts.
Subsequent to the adoption, an agreement was reached with CWA that included several
employee give-backs that fully met our budgeted savings in exchange for a no-layoff
provision. Therefore the proposed Plan B initiatives were not implemented and, while most
departments were able to still remain below budget at year-end, three departments
exceeded their budget by less than one percent, at least in part due to these reasons.
No department exceeded its budget by more than $300,000. Additionally, several
departments were more than $300,000 under budget as shown on the following pages.

expenditures savings in the Police Department primarily due to vacancies and
resulting savings in personnel costs (although these savings are partially offset by
increased court overtime) and significant savings in professional services primarily due
to savings in recruitment costs contributed to the Department being under budget.

accounts, primarily due to unspent contingency of $1.3 million, deferral of the
Community Satisfaction Survey to FY 2011/12 as directed by the Commission, carry
forward of $200,000 in funds budgeted annually for elections, $75,000 in savings from
funds budgeted for a local government lobbyist, and $67,170 encumbered for special
studies but not yet spent.
GENERAL FUND BUDGET FY 2010/11 AMENDMENT
Although the total General Fund expenditure is below budget, Florida Statues require that
the actual expenditures not exceed budget at the level at which the budget is adopted,
which in Miami Beach is at the Department level. Therefore a budget amendment is
required for departments that overspent their appropriation and to allow the transfer to the
Set Aside amounts for FY 2011/12 and FY 2012/13. A summary of the resulting increases
and decreases to revenues and expenditures and the resulting proposed amended budget
for FY 2010/11 is provided below and on the following pages.

ENTERPRISE FUNDS FY 2010/11 BUDGET AMENDMENT
The City accounts for proprietary operations in Enterprise Funds. Convention Center,
Parking, Sanitation, Sewer, Stormwater, and Water in this grouping. As highlighted in
prior quarterly projections, the Water Fund requires a budget amendment for increased
payments to Miami-Dade County for wholesale water and increased funding for renewal
and replacement, although partially offset by contingency savings. However, these
increased payments are offset by increased revenues from water sales to City customers.

The City accounts for those goods and services provided by one department to other

Management, Information Technology, Property Management, and Risk Management
(Self Insurance) are included in this grouping.
Despite absorbing the pension contribution increases as described above all Internal
Service Funds are anticipated to be under budget, except Central Services and Fleet
Management. Central Services is anticipated to have expenditures in excess of budget by
$28,709 of which $1,625 is due to additional pension contributions. The balance is due to
health and life insurance increases to more accurately reflect current costs, and increases
in contributions for "Other Post Employment Benefits" (OPEB) based on prior year
actuarial requirements. Fleet Management is anticipated to have expenditures in excess
of budget by $205,399 primarily due to increases in contributions for "Other Post
Employment Benefits" (OPEB) and increased fuel costs.

RESORT TAX FUND FY 2010/11 BUDGET AMENDMENT
The City's Resort Tax Fund is primarily supported by resort taxes collected pursuant to
Chapter 67-930 (Section 6) of the Laws of Florida, as amended, and Section 5.03 of the
City of Miami Beach Charter, as amended. This legislation authorizes the use of resort
taxes for the promotion of the tourist industry, which includes, but is not restricted to the
following: Publicity, advertising, news bureau, promotional events, convention bureau
activities, capital improvements and the maintenance of all physical assets in connection
therewith; and for the payment of the reasonable and necessary expenses of collecting,
handling and processing of said tax.
The City imposes a two percent tax on the rent of rooms in any hotel, motel, rooming
house or apartment house. This two percent tax is also levied upon the total sales price of
all food and beverages (including alcoholic beverages). In addition to funding collection of
the tax, contributions to the Miami Beach Visitor and Convention Authority, and the
Greater Miami Visitor and Convention's Bureau, the City has considered the following
services as "Services related to the promotion of tourism":
• Police officers serving entertainment areas
• A portion of fire rescue services from Fire Stations 1&2
• Ocean rescue services
• Sidewalk pressure cleaning in south, middle and north beach visitor areas
• South Beach sanitation
• Enhanced code compliance provided to respond to evening entertainment area
violations and staffing of special events
• Other code compliance activities in tourism and visitor related facilities/areas
• Tourism and Culture Department and the Cultural Arts Council
• Museums and Theatres (Garden Center, Bass Museum, Colony and Byron Carlyle
Theatres)
• Golf courses (net of revenues)
• Memorial Day and other special event costs
• Homeless services
• July 4th, Visitor Center funding, Holiday Lights, Festival of the Arts, Jewish
Museum, MDPL, Orange Bowl, Monuments, etc.

Page 11
These allowable uses have led to increased tourist activities, such as special events, Art
Basel, and various concerts.
An additional one percent resort tax is levied on room rent. The proceeds of the
additional one percent (1%) tax are used as follows. Fifty percent of the amount earned is
committed to the payment of a portion of the debt service on the Miami Beach
Redevelopment Agency City Center/ Bonds. The remaining fifty percent is allocated
equally among North Beach, Middle Beach, and South Beach for capital projects that
enhance Miami Beach's tourist related areas and various arts and cultural programs.
Actual revenues from the additional one percent that exceed budget are automatically
allocated to these categories, and, therefore, any revenues collected in excess of budget,
result in expenditures in excess of budget, thereby requiring a budget amendment.
The Resort Tax Fund operating revenues, including both one percent and two percent
resort tax revenues, are in excess of budget by approximately $8.3 million and, as a result
certain expenditures which are based on a percent of revenues are projected to exceed
budget. The preliminary year-end actual expenditures are approximately $1.8 million
above budget, resulting is a surplus of$6.6 million.
am, therefore, recommending that an additional $2 million transfer be made to the
General Fund consistent with the increased level funded for the FY' 2011/12 budget.
Further, revenues collected from the North Shore special assessment are deposited into
the 2 percent Resort Tax Fund. Per a reconciliation performed by the Finance
Department, the Resort Tax Fund has collected approximately $3.6 million in special
assessments from the North Shore district between 2003 and 2011 and $4.4 million in
special assessments from the Lincoln Road district between 2003 and 2011, of which
$616,315 should be transferred to the North Shore Community Area Improvements Project
and $550,671 should be transferred to the Lincoln Road Improvements Fund to address
prior year deficits in those districts. I am therefore recommending that these additional
transfers be made also.

The resulting recommended changes above .result in a revised surplus of approximately
$3.4 million.
It is important to note that, as of September 30, 2010, the two percent Resort Tax Fund
had only $1.3 million in available funds, equivalent to approximately 4% of the operating
budget, and far short of the desired 17 percent goal. Therefore, I am recommending that
this $3.4 million remain in the Resort Tax Fund, thereby increasing the reserve in the
Resort Tax Fund to $4.7 million, or 15 percent, assuming no balance sheet changes.
FY 2011/12 BUDGET AMENDMENT
Also, accompanying this agenda item is a separate resolution amending the General Fund
FY 2011/12 budget to appropriate the $275,281 in encumbrances from FY 2010/11 that
are being carried forward to FY 2011/12; to appropriate $426,704 for the items described
above so that these funds can be expended in FY 2011/12; and to appropriate the
following balances for Special Revenue funds so that they can be expended in FY
2011/12.
• $129,560 in Education Compact Funds appropriated in prior years to be used for
teacher development programs and fees to the International Baccalaureate
Organization.
• $6,335 in Green/Sustainability Funds to educate and promote the City's
sustainability efforts. These funds were contributed in 2009 by businesses who
participated in the City's South Florida Green Lodging Workshop.
• $64,000 in Waste Hauler Additional Services and Public Benefit Contributions
Funds for sanitation related services including monthly "Wasteful Weekends" bulk
drop off site expenses, twice yearly hazardous waste drop-off site expenses, and
purchase of recycling containers.
The resolution also appropriates $77,344, and $307,069 in encumbrances for Enterprise
and Internal Revenue Funds, respectively, for goods and services procured in FY 2010/11
that will not be received and expended until FY 2011/12.
CONCLUSION
It should be noted that this actual is preliminary in nature due to the fact that the City's
financial records will not be closed until after the external auditors complete their review.
Historically, this occurs in April, with the City's Comprehensive Annual Financial Report
(CAFR) For the Year Ended September 30, 2011, usually available in May and the
External Auditor's Report available in July. However, this analysis has considered all
year-end entries to date and, typically, any additional changes are minor in nature.
The resolution amending FY 2010/11 budgets will allow the second amendment to the
departmental appropriations within the General Fund, and the first amendment to the
Enterprise Funds, Internal Service Funds and Resort Tax Fund budgets to be enacted.
This action is necessary to comply with Florida Statutes which stipulate that we may not
expend more than our appropriations provide.

The resolution amending FY 2011/12 budgets will provide the authorization necessary for
departments to expend $275,281, $77,344 and $307,069 in General, Enterprise and
Internal Service Funds encumbrances, respectively from FY 2010/11 for goods or services
which were procured but not received and expended as of September 30, 2011. Further,
it re-appropriates $426,704 in FY 2011/12 for General Fund items appropriated but not
expended or encumbered in FY 2010/11 and $199,895 in Special Revenue Fund
appropriations.
