Re: 1996/97 Operating Budget
~" The City Manager's Proposed Budget for Fiscal Year 1997 was submitted to you
for your consideration and review on August 12,1996. The intent of the proposed
r budget was to maintain the existing level of service without increasing the existing
millage, and provide the City Commission with a list of Enhancements or
"Betterments" where upon the City Commission could have a more direct role in
setting the City's policies and the funding of new programs. The City
Commission set a millage rate of 2.9221, which is one of the lowest millage rates
~^ in the state for a full service city. Also, our rate remains under our beaches sister
cities' millage rates.
This year the budget was made up of two major segments. The first segment was
a proposed budget designed to maintain existing levels of service. The second
segment was a list of betterments with their estimated cost and the total funding
available after existing services are funded. By separating out the betterments,
the Commission focused on the available resources and the need for new services.
Attached is the list of Betterments considered and approved by the City
r
t
l
r
f
Commission.
''" The present budget year has been one of the busiest in our City's history. Much
~ ' has been successfully accomplished due to a team approach to management and
~.. problem resolution. By October, we will have seen the completion of the following
t projects:
{' - Atlantic Beach Sewer Plant Expansion
` Buccaneer Water Plant Expansion
- Major renovations of Howell and Russell Parks
i - Donner Community Center
- Reorganization of the City's Public Safety Components
- Salt Air Sewer and Drainage Project
- Public Safety Building Expansion
f"' Acquiring of the $23,000,000 Capital Loan
~ - Annual Audit with no deficiencies
- Upgrade of the AS 400 Computer
- Reorganization of the Purchasing and Personnel Functions
- Implementation of $12,000,000+ worth of new capital projects
("' Implementation of the City Clerk's Record Imaging Program
(In addition to what has been listed, there have been many more
accomplishments. For a complete list, please refer to the Department Descriptions
in the Budget).
The new Proposed Budget continues the fast pace of upgrading our City's
infrastructure and programs. The $12,000,000 of new projects will move from
design to construction. There will be more than twenty capital projects under
construction or design during this coming budget year. Some of the major rojects
which will come under construction are as follows:
- Old Core City Water
- Sewer and Drainage Project
r„ Expansion of the Buccaneer Sewer Plant
- Beach Ave. Water and Sewer Project
;.
- Oak Harbor Water and Sewer Project

- Renovation of the Lifeguard Station
- Continuation of the Beach Street End Improvements
- Continued Rehab of the Donner Neighborhood
- Improvement to Donner and Jordan Parks
- Levy Road Reconstruction
- City-Wide Water Main Improvements
(For a complete list, please refer to the Budget).
Internally, the Senior Staff will continue to develop their team approach to
solving problems and improving services within the budget constraints. During
this budget year the Senior Staff took on the role of a Quality Circle. Their
mission was to make recommendations to resolve tong standing administrative
problems. Their work led to the reorganization of Purchasing and Personnel
r^ Departments, the updating of the Personnel Rules and Regulations, and the
! implementation of an ongoing forum for administrative problem resolution. There
is an extremely good spirit of cooperation between our Department Heads. This
team spirit, shared by our senior staff, has begun to filter through to their
respective staffs. The continued ezpansion of the team spirit concept will continue
~'" to be a major goal of the Administration in the new budget year. During the
proposed budget cycle this successful team approach will be expanded by
implementing Quality Circles in each department. Through this expanded team
approach to the resolution of problems, issues will be resolved in a limited
amount of time rather than continuing for years.
.. Finally, it is important to point out that the many successes experienced during
this budget year, despite the heavy work load, are directly attributed to the staff s
hard work on every level. As a citizen, it is comforting to know that the Police and
Fire Departments are available in an emergency in less than three minutes. It is
also comforting to know that when streets are flooded or water lines are broken
~^ our crews in the Public Works Department respond quickly, unlike many cifies.
w And, most important, it is good to know that our Finance Department is one that
~,,,, protects the City's financial resources well, as proven by an A+ audit report.
This is just the "tip of the iceberg" when it comes to City services in our
community.

The upcoming budget year holds even more challenges than last budget year.
However, it is my belief that the City Commission and Staff are more than
capable of insuring that the new fiscal year will be even more successful than the
last fiscal year.
Respectively Submitted
