Accounts reflect expenditures that do not fall under the purview of a particular Department
such as accumulated leave payments, grants to social service agencies and non-profits,
special studies. They are monitored by the Office of Budget and Performance Improvement
and the City.
General Obligation Debt is the debt service funding required for voter-approved bonds
issued with the belief that a municipality will be able to repay its debt obligation through
taxation or revenue from projects. No assets are used as collateral.
The Enterprise Fund Budget is comprised of Departments that use revenues received for
services provided to the general public on a continuing basis and are primarily financed
through user charges. The criteria used to determine if an operation should be an enterprise
fund includes: 1) that it generates revenues; 2) that it provides services to the community;
and 3) that it operates as a stand-alone entity, without subsides from taxes etc. The City's
Enterprise Fund Departments are: Convention Center, Sanitation, Stormwater, Water,
Sewer, and Parking.
The City of Miami Beach Redevelopment Agency is a separate entity, whose Chairperson
and Board of Directors are also the City's Mayor and City Commission.
Special Revenue Funds include the Resort Tax Fund as well as 7th Street Garage
Operations; 5th & Alton Garage Operations; Art in Public Places; Tourism and Hospitality
Scholarship Program; Green/Sustainability Fund; Waste Hauler Additional Services and
Public Benefit Contribution Fund; Education Compact Fund; Red Light Camera Fund and
Emergency 911 Fund. The Resort Tax Fund is supported primarily by taxes levied on hotel,
motel, rooming house and short term apartment room rents as well as on food and
beverages sold at retail in any restaurant, as authorized by State Statute, and is used to fund
tourism-eligible expenditures.
Internal Service Funds are used to account for the financing of goods and services provided
by one department to other departments on a cost-reimbursement basis. Internal Service
Fund rates are set to recover the full cost of providing a particular service. The Internal
Service Funds budgeted expenditures are completely offset by revenues received from the
General Fund, Enterprise Fund Departments and Special Revenue Funds. The City's
Internal Service Fund Departments are Information Technology, Central Services, Risk
Management, Property Management, and Fleet Management.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission of the City of Miami
Beach, Florida, setting a public hearing to adopt the Second Amendment to the General
Fund, Enterprise Fund, Internal Service Fund and Special Revenue Fund Budgets for Fiscal
Year(~ 2012/13.
