The FY 2017/2018 Proposed Budget is shaped by our commitment to outstanding service delivery, public safety, transparency, and maintaining a vibrant first-class community for our residents and businesses. The Proposed Budget represents the synthesis of City Commission direction and staff recommendations on how best to accomplish City priorities and respond to community needs in accordance with available resources, appropriate policies, and sound financial and business practices. It includes significant continued investment in the City’s infrastructure, equipment and facilities for leisure and recreation activities, programs to revitalize neighborhoods, and technology enhancements throughout the City. The Proposed Budget is structurally balanced for the third year in a row, with no proposed use of General Fund available fund balance for ongoing or recurring expenditures. There are many positive indicators for Sunrise’ economic success in the coming year. Property values experienced a considerable uptick in our community, sales tax revenue continues to increase, and building and development are steady and robust. These factors contribute to a proposed operating budget that allows the City to maintain and enhance services provided to our residents. Sunrise has an outstanding reputation as an economic leader in the County. We have created an environment where businesses of all size can thrive, where new businesses are welcomed and appreciated, where new jobs are added each year, and where robust amenities serve as an attraction and a catalyst to growth and retention. As part of this Budget, we propose to use economic development designated funds to expand our efforts in this regard. The FY 2017/2018 Proposed Budget totals $406,734,740 for all funds and provides for the continuation of core services that meet and exceed the expectations of our diverse residents and businesses. While we have worked tirelessly to put in place programs and projects that are important to both economic vitality and quality of life in our community, we have also been careful to apply fiscal restraint and avoid unnecessary expenses. The development of this proposed budget required difficult decisions to prioritize organizational requirements. Among the needs funded in the proposed budget are the body worn camera program, replacement radios for public safety, repair and maintenance of City facilities, and continuation of the traffic calming and street lighting improvement programs. Additionally, the budget includes funding for a net eight (8) new full-time positions, two (2) new part-time positions, and one position conversion from part-time to full time. 10770 West Oakland Park Boulevard, Sunrise,
