COMMISSION ITEM SUMMARY
Condensed Title:
A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA,
ADOPTING AMENDMENTS TO THE FISCAL YEAR (FY) 2012/13 GENERAL FUND , ENTERPRISE FUND ,
INTERNAL SERVICE FUND, AND SPECIAL REVENUE FUND BUDGETS
Key Intended Outcome Supported:
Improve the City's overall financial health and maintain overall bond rating
Supporting Data (Surveys, Environmental Scan, etc.):
N/A
Item Summarv/Recommendation:
Per Florida Statute 166.241, the City has 60 days following the end of the fiscal year to amend a
budget for that year. Proposed budget amendments represent the budget amendment required
by state law for funds, departments, or accounts that exceed their appropriated authority.
Based on a detailed analysis comparing FY 2012/13 actual expenditures to budget which will be
distributed separately via Letter to Commission (L TC), all expenditures are within FY 2012/13
amended budgets per their appropriated authority. The only exception is the Police Confiscation
Trust Fund-Federal, which is a Special Revenue fund.
Based on the year-end analysis, the Police Confiscation Trust Fund-Federal overspent its
appropriation due to the rollover of an existing purchase order from FY 2011/12 for Automatic
Vehicle Location equipment for Police Patrol vehicles and needs to be amended. Florida
Statutes require that actual expenditures not exceed budget at the level at which the budget is
adopted, which for the Police Confiscation Trust Fund-Federal is at the fund level.
The Fiscal Year 2012/13 budget for the Police Confiscation Trust Funds was most recently
amended on September 30, 2013, with the adoption of Resolution No. 2013-28362.
It should be noted that actual expenditures to date are 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, 2013, 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 adjusted for pending entries where appropriate.

Service Funds , and Special Revenue Funds budgets.
COMPLIANCE WITH FLORIDA STATUTES
Per Florida Statute 166.241, the City has 60 days following the end of the fiscal year to amend a

by state law for funds, departments·, or accounts that exceed their appropriated authority.
Based on a detailed analysis comparing FY 2012/13 actual expenditures to budget which will be

BUDGET AMENDMENT FOR FY 2012/13 SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS
The City of Miami Beach currently offers certain programs and activities not supported through
the general operating budget, but by outside agency grants and self-supporting user fee
programs. These Special Revenue Fund Budgets include :

Amendments to the FY 2012/13 General Fund, Enterprise, Internal Service and Special Revenue Funds Budgets

• Resort Tax Fund;
• 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;

• People's Transportation Plan Fund;
• Concurrency Mitigation Fund;
• Miami Beach Cultural Arts Council;
• Police Special Revenue Account;
• Police Confiscation Trust Funds (Federal and State); and
• Police Training and School Resources Fund
The Police Confiscation Trust Funds provide for expenditures of forfeiture funds for law
enforcement purposes. As a matter of policy, confiscation funds are typically utilized for capital
purchase or one-time , non-recurring expenses, including specialized equipment, grant matches,
and organizational training.
Based on the year-end analysis, the Police Confiscation Trust Fund-Federal overspent its
appropriation due to the rollover of an existing purchase order from FY 2011/12 for Automatic
Vehicle Location equipment for Police Patrol vehicles and needs to be amended. Florida
Statutes require that actual expenditures not exceed budget at the level at which the budget is
adopted , which for the Police Confiscation Trust Fund-Federal is at the fund level.
. The Fiscal Year 2012/13 budget for the Police Confiscation Trust Funds was most recently
amended on September 30, 2013, with the adoption of Resolution No. 2013-28362.
CONCLUSION
The resolution amending FY 2012/13 budgets will allow amendments to the General Fund,
Enterprise Funds , Internal Service Funds and Special Revenue 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.
