Barreiro and Members, Board of County Commissioners Dear Mayor Alvarez, Chairman Barreiro, and County Commissioners: I am pleased to submit the FY 2007-08 Final Business Plan, Adopted Budget and Multi-Year Capital Plan, and Five-Year Financial Outlook. This is the third year that we have produced this final reference document which incorporates the actions taken at the final budget hearing on September 20, 2007 and the amendment approved by the Board on November 6, 2007. As we have since 2004, we employ a results- oriented governing process to allocation resources. This document includes the final adopted budget, the business plan detailing the annual implementation of the Strategic Plan as adjusted by the final actions taken by the Board, as well as our projections for our financial position for the next five years. This document is comprised of three volumes. The first volume includes an introductory chapter that provides historical, structural, and financial information regarding Miami-Dade County government, as well as describing our strategic planning and resource allocation processes. This volume also contains the Five- Year Financial Outlook for our tax-supported budgets and proprietary activities. The section titled “Strategically Targeted Unincorporated Municipal Services Area and Countywide Service Improvements” provides a sample of some of the unmet operational needs in the Unincorporated Municipal Services Area (UMSA) and Countywide budgets to address the long-term goals and objectives identified in the County’s Strategic Plan. A facsimile of the final budget ordinances adopted by the Board and a listing of the community-based organizations funded as part of the final budget are also included in the first volume. The second volume includes the Business Plan, organized by strategic area. Within each strategic area, the mission, key priority outcomes, and departmental narratives, including the budget, performance measures, and anticipated results are detailed. This volume also includes summary budget information. The third volume contains detailed schedules for the capital projects approved as part of the final adopted budget, unfunded projects, and capital budget summaries. Again this year, the County is submitting an 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. We are proud to have received this designation for the last five years. FY 2007-08 Adopted Budget The development of the FY 2007-08 Budget was particularly challenging. Property tax relief legislation was considered during the regular State Legislative Session and then referred to a special session in June. At the same time that staff was analyzing and preparing information for the Proposed Budget, we were also closely following and preparing information that was used statewide concerning the impacts of the various property tax relief proposals forwarded for consideration. Because the final actions taken by the Legislature were delayed, the release of the Proposed Budget occurred later than had been past practice. Despite the reduction imposed by the statutory changes adopted in June, we were able to develop a resource allocation plan that addressed the highest priority services to our community and minimized service and position reductions. The FY 2007-08 Adopted Budget was developed based on a set of priorities that have been our guide for the past few years. Shown in the chart below, these priorities encompass the myriad of services performed by Miami-Dade County government. Grounded with our vision of “Delivering Excellence Every Day,” we 3 focused on performing critical services well, rather than provide a broad range of services in a poor manner. We also made sure that the infrastructure of internal services that support our external functions was provided with the resources necessary to remain a strong backbone of the organization. Properly resourcing the core functions – transportation, affordable housing, public safety, the “little things” – of an effective government with an aspiration of meeting the expectations of our customers to promote a vibrant, sustainable community was our mission in developing this budget. Continuing Priorities Meeting the Primary Expectations of our Customers Continue to implement the Building Better Communities Bond Program Continue to implement the People's Transportation Plan A Safe Community Provide required training and equipment for all public safety functions Improve response time, through facility placement, community policing, and other strategies A Vibrant and Sustainable Community Ensure the continuation of efforts to balance the need to preserve our natural resources, including water quality, with the need for sustainable development Support the creation of valuable employment opportunities Concentrate on social service needs for all segments of the community, including children's programs; healthcare and insurance; intervention, prevention and diversion programs; and meals for the elderly Expand and support recreational and cultural programs and facilities A Community of Opportunities Continue implementation of the Miami International Airport (MIA) Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) to attract airlines and passengers Continue implementation of the Seaport CIP to allow for efficient and secure operations An Effective Government Continue implementation of the 311 Answer Center and community outreach and awareness Continue to improve the building permit and development process Provide effective services; improve service through technology and application of best practices Attract
