The financial statements included in this report conform with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) established by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. This report consists of management’s representations concerning the finances of the City of North Miami and is presented in a format designed to fairly set forth the financial position and the results of operations of the City on a government-wide and fund basis. Consequently, management assumes full responsibility for the completeness and reliability of all of the information presented. We believe the data in this report to be accurate in all material respects, and include all statements and disclosures necessary for the reader to obtain a thorough understanding of the City’s financial activities. To provide a reasonable basis for making these representations, management of the City has established a comprehensive internal control framework that is designed to both protect the City’s assets from loss, theft, or misuse and to compile sufficient reliable information for the preparation of the City of North Miami’s financial statements in conformity with GAAP. Because the cost of internal controls should not outweigh their benefits, the City’s comprehensive framework of internal controls has been designed to provide reasonable rather than absolute assurance that the financial statements will be free from material misstatement. As management, we assert that, to the best of our knowledge and belief, this financial report is complete and reliable in all material respects. The City’s financial statements have been audited by MarcumRachlin, a division of Marcum LLP, a licensed certified public accounting firm. The independent auditor concluded, based upon the audit, that there was a reasonable basis for rendering an unqualified opinion that the City’s financial statements for the fiscal year ended September 30, 2009 are fairly presented in accordance with GAAP. The independent auditor’s report is presented as the first component of the financial section of this report. i City of North Miami I 776 NE 125 Street I North Miami I Florida I 33161 305.893.6511 Fax: 305.891.1015 The independent audit of the financial statements of the City was part of a broader, federal and state mandated “Single Audit” designed to meet the special needs of federal and state grantor agencies. The standards governing Single Audit engagements require the independent auditor to report not only on the fair presentation of the financial statements, but also on the City’s internal controls and compliance with legal requirements, with special emphasis on the administration of federal and state awards. In accordance with Governmental Accounting Standards Board Statement No. 34, Basic Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments, as amended, GAAP requires that management provide a narrative, introduction, overview, and analysis to accompany the basic financial statements in the form of Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). This letter of transmittal is designed to complement the MD&A and should be read in conjunction with it. The City of North Miami’s MD&A can be found immediately following the report of the independent Certified Public Accountants.

Frazer Submitted to the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering on May 20, 2005 in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Engineering in Civil and Environmental Engineering ABSTRACT As existing open-air or fully enclosed stadia are reaching their life expectancies, cities are choosing to replace them with structures with moving roofs. This kind of facility provides protection from weather for spectators, a natural grass playing surface for players, and new sources of revenue for owners. The first retractable-roof stadium in North America, the Rogers Centre, has hosted numerous successful events but cost the city of Toronto over CA$500 million. Today, there are five retractable-roof stadia in use in America. Each has very different structural features designed to accommodate the conditions under which they are placed, and their individual costs reflect the sophistication of these features.

  • 5 Year Capital Improvement Program Fiscal Year
    5 Year Capital Improvement Program Fiscal Year 2011/12-2016 Date: February 7, 2012 To: City Council From: City Manager A RESOL UTION OF THE MAYOR AND CI TY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NORTH MIAMI, FLORIDA, ADOPTING THE CITY’S FIVE-YE AR CAPITAL IMPROVE MENT PL AN COMMENCING IN FISCAL YEAR 2011-12 AND ENDING I N FISCAL YEAR 2015-16; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE AND FOR ALL OTHER PURPOSES. The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is the City's Five-Year Plan of proposed capital expenditures to be incurred each year over a period of five years to meet the City’s anticipated capital needs. The CIP is revised annually and adopted by the City Council typically with the first year converting into the annual capital budget. The Capital Improvement Program is part of the City's budget and management process, which helps to implement the City’s Comprehensive Plan. To that end, Chapter 163 Florida Statutes, requires that the CIP must reflect the goals, objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan (Capital Improvement Element) and its implementation strategies. Additionally, State law requires that the five-year schedule of capital improvements be “financially feasible”. Financial feasibility means that sufficient revenues are available or will be available from committed funding sources for the first three years, or will be available from committed or planned funding sources for years 4 and 5, of a five-year capital improvement schedule for financing capital improvements. Staff is of the opinion that the proposed CIP is financially feasible in accordance with statutory requirements.
