BURGESS COUNTY MANAGER June 1, 2005 Honorable Carlos Alvarez, Mayor Honorable Chairman Joe A. Martinez and Members, Board of County Commissioners Dear Mayor Alvarez, Chairman Joe A. Martinez, and County Commissioners: I am pleased to submit to you the FY 2004-05 Business Plan, Adopted Budget and Five-Year Financial Outlook. This document features departmental business plans and highlights budget and program decisions approved by the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) on September 23, 2004, at the final budget hearing. Through this document we continue to emphasize the structure and guidelines dictated by departmental business plans which in turn reflect the actions necessary to meet the goals and objectives established by the County’s Strategic Plan. To facilitate the use and reading of this document we have organized its content in the following manner: ¾ An “Introduction” chapter provides a historical and general perspective of Miami-Dade County government and is presented towards the front of the document. ¾ The business plan section of the document is organized by strategic area, consistent with our Countywide Strategic Plan; the first page of each strategic area section includes a table of priority key outcomes and sample performance measures and targets that were incorporated as part of the Strategic Plan by the strategic planning workgroups. ¾ Key objectives, as well as illustrative performance indicators, have been identified, and organized by the outcomes associated with each strategic area; to the extent possible, an effort has been made to present information through graphs and charts. ¾ As we did last year, we have incorporated the County’s Five-Year Financial Outlook which allows us to have a five-year general outlook and assess our ability to provide current level of services within the expected resources available. Within the Five-Year Financial Outlook exercise, and for the first time, we have incorporated a new section: “Strategically Targeted Unincorporated Municipal Service Area and Countywide Service Improvements.” In this new section we itemized a number of operational initiatives in the UMSA and Countywide areas that address some of the long-term goals and objectives established in the County’s Strategic Plan. This important step links the Five-Year Financial Outlook with the County’s Strategic Plan. STEPHEN P. CLARK CENTER • 111 N.W. FIRST STREET • SUITE 2910 • MIAMI, FLORIDA 33128-1994 • (305) 375-5311 Honorable Mayor and Members Board of County Commissioners Page 2 of 2 Supplementary information contained in the appendices includes detailed budgetary information, and a list detailing the approved FY 2004-05 funding for community-based organizations. This report is the last stage in the lengthy resource allocation process that was initiated at the end of 2003. Once again, we were able to structure a budget that responds to the needs identified by our elected officials and the community at large, within the confinements of ever-limited resources. The combined final millages approved by you on September 23, 2004, are the lowest since FY1985-86. That on its own is an accomplishment of which we all should be proud. At the same time that this report is being released, departments are again preparing to evaluate and discuss their budgetary needs for FY 2005-06. We expect this coming year to be no less challenging than FY 2004-05. We had planned to release this document at the beginning of the second quarter of FY 2004-05; however, issues regarding the alternate Maintenance of Effort (MOE) funding proposals for the Miami-Dade Transit Agency and the corresponding impact to the People’s Transportation Plan caused some unanticipated delays. Although this latter issue is yet to be resolved, to finalize this document we made basic assumptions regarding Miami-Dade Transit Agency’s general fund support for the next five years. These assumptions are clearly footnoted on the Transportation Expenditures Section of the Five Year Financial Outlook (page 57 and 68). As was done last year, we submitted our application to the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) for the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award. The award is based on the presentation of the budget document as a policy document, communications device, financial plan, and operations guide. In April, we were notified by the GFOA that Miami-Dade County received the Distinguished Budget Presentation Award for a third consecutive year. This award is the highest form of recognition in governmental budgeting and it represents a significant achievement by the County. Finally, I would like to take the opportunity to thank you, my staff, the department directors and their staffs, and the Office of Strategic Business Management staff for their time, effort, support, and assistance in preparing the FY 2004-05 Business Plan, Adopted Budget and Five-Year Financial Outlook.
