FROM: Jorge M. Gonzalez, City Manager
DATE: September 12, 2008
SUBJECT: Transmittal of the Proposed Fiscal Year (FY) 2008/09 Capital Budget and FY
2008/09 - 2012/13 Capital Improvement Program
This purpose of this letter is to transmit the Proposed FY 2008109 Capital Budget and FY
2008/09 - FY 2012/13 Capital Improvement Program (CIP), incorporating recommendations
received from the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee.
On June 30, 2008, capital budget priorities were discussed at a meeting of the Finance and
Citywide Projects. The Director of Budget and Performance Improvement, Assistant City
Managers, Capital Improvement Project Office Director, Public Works Director, other
Department Directors, and other City staff were available to discuss specific projects and
respond to the Committee's questions. Recommendations for FY 2008/09 at the meeting
included the following which have been incorporated into the FY 2008/09 Proposed Work
Plan and CIP:
• All existing funded projects that require additional funding should be considered for
funding with the exception of the Property Management Facility project.
• 53rd Street Restrooms project and the Mid-Beach Recreational Corridor Phase I (Eden
Roc to Indian Beach/46 St) should be considered for funding and the Jackie Gleason
Life Safety Improvements will be funded from CDT or Convention Center funds.
• $35,000 will be allocated for a study to evaluate the feasibility of a multi-use project, as
part of the Par 3 Golf Course Renovations.
• A Tot Lot and Shade Structure for the North Shore Park Youth Center will be considered
for funding, and funding for the 17th Street Bridge will be pursued through PTP funds or
the MPO.
• The possibility of issuing water and sewer bonds for the South Pointe Water Pump
Station will be explored.
• The Administration will consider issuing requests for proposals to have the public sector
assemble contracts inclusive of land, or a swap of land, to build garages.
At the September 10, 2008 Commission meeting, the Commission reduced the allocation for
a study to evaluate the feasibility of a multi-use project, as part of the Par 3 Golf Course
Renovations from $35,000 to $25,000.

The Proposed Capital Budget for FY 2008/09 totals $180,305,770, of which $77,423,888 is
proposed to be appropriated on September 17, 2008.
Approximately $22 million in proposed new Water and Sewer bonds, $39 million in proposed
new stormwater bonds, $23 million in proposed new parking bonds, and $18 million in short
term financing for the South Pointe Pump Station will be appropriated when the financings
are implemented depending on spend-down of existing bonds and timing of project
commitment needs. Further, it is anticipated that there will be a phased approach for the
issuance of water, sewer and stormwater financing. Under this approach, the City will first
seek a line of credit which will allow the City to have the necessary funding capacity to enter
into new projects, while allowing the City more time to both build the necessary rate capacity
to issue additional tax-exempt bonds through rate increases and also spend down the
current committed but unspent bond proceeds. This phased approach will also provide the
City with more time to refine the cost estimates for the water, sewer, stormwater and parking
projects anticipated for FY 2008109.
