RECOMMENDATION BACKGROUND/HISTORY ANALYSIS The proposed Ordinance, sponsored by Vice-Mayor Joseph Magazine, has been submitted for consideration by the Mayor and City Commission. The City of Miami Beach (“City”) has established a Budget Advisory Committee (“Committee”) to assist the Mayor and City Commission in reviewing and evaluating the City’s fiscal policies, procedures, and annual budget. The Committee is an important component in continuously improving the efficiency and effectiveness of City governmental operations to ensure that taxpayer resources are managed prudently and responsibly. The proposed Ordinance would expand the purpose of the Committee to include the review of government spending for efficiency throughout all departments, divisions, and programs within the City. Additionally, the proposed Ordinance would enhance the Committee’s powers and duties so that, in addition to examining, studying, reviewing, considering, and advising the City Commission as to the City’s proposed annual budgets, the Committee will also do likewise for all City programs, grants, and initiatives to ensure fiscal responsibility and operational efficiency. Moreover, the proposed Ordinance would require the Committee to prepare and submit an annual report to the City Commission summarizing its findings and recommendations, including any proposals for right-sizing operations and increasing the efficiency of government spending. Lastly, the proposed Ordinance will amend the name of the Budget Advisory Committee to the Budget Advisory and Government Spending Efficiency Committee (“BAGSEC”) in order to better reflect its expanded role in promoting transparency, accountability, and fiscal efficiency in City government.
