City of Miami: Inter-Office Memorandum
City of Miami: Inter-Office Memorandum
INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members DATE: May 28, 2020
of the City Commission
FROM: Christopher Rose, Director SUBJECT: FY 2019‐20 End‐of‐Year
Office of Management and Budget Projections based on April
Revenues and Expenditures
The City’s non‐property‐tax revenues continue to be projected lower than budgeted resulting in a net
end‐of‐year deficit of $21.4 million (with a deficit of $29.8 million in the General Fund, and a surplus of
$8.4 million in the Internal Service Fund). Overall general fund revenues are now projected to be $752.9
million which are:
$15.5 million lower than projected a month ago ($752.9 million vs. $768.3 million)
$55.7 million lower than budgeted in the current year ($752.9 million vs. $808.6 million)
$61.0 million lower than projected pre‐COVID‐19 in February ($752.9 million vs. $813.9 million)
The Administration has taken steps since the beginning of the global pandemic to contain expenditures
to reduce the projected deficit. Overall general fund expenditures are now projected to be $782.7
million which are:
$11.4 million lower than projected a month ago ($782.7 million vs. $794.1 million)
$25.9 million lower than budgeted in the current year ($782.7 million vs. $808.6 million)
$10.9 million lower than projected pre‐COVID‐19 in February ($782.7 million vs. $793.6 million)
The general ledger for April closed on May 11, 2020, concluding the seventh month of the current fiscal
year; therefore, if revenues and expenditures were to be evenly spread throughout the year (which is
not normally the case and is certainly not the case this year), we would expect to see about 58⅓ percent
of the budgeted expenditures actually spent and 58⅓ percent of budgeted revenues achieved for the
first seven months of operation. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has completed a
thorough analysis of revenues and expenses and produced the attached detailed reports. This
projection recognizes that the City has remained in a heightened State of Emergency with
recommendations to shelter at home and a mandatory curfew for approximately two‐and‐a‐half
months, and presumes that revenues will increase gradually over the next few months with many
revenues not reaching their prior levels in the current fiscal year.
Overall actual revenues received year‐to‐date in the General Fund through April 2020 ($581.4 million),
were $12.1 million more than through the same period last year ($569.3 million). This represents
Page 2 of 3
FY 2019‐20 End‐of‐Year Projections based on April Revenues and Expenditures
May 28, 2020
approximately 71.9 percent of General Fund budgeted revenues collected already this year, with most of
the year’s Property Taxes already collected.
Licenses, permits, and inspection fees are generally below budget or, in some cases, right at the
budgeted amounts in the Building, Zoning, Planning, Resilience and Public Works, and Code Compliance
Departments. Ad Valorem Property Taxes overall are projected to be $12.1 million under budget due to
historical rate of collection at 97 percent. This projection has not changed materially for the last several
months. Intergovernmental Revenues are projected to be $20.6 million lower than budgeted while
Charges for Service are similarly projected to be $21.8 million lower than budgeted. These projections
clearly reflect the slowdown of economic activity in the City and across the State of Florida with parking
revenues, State revenue sharing, and State sales tax revenues projected much lower than budgeted, as
shown in the attached reports.
Overall actual expenditures year‐to‐date in the General Fund through April 2020 ($494.0 million) were
$2.9 million more than through the same period last year ($491.1 million). This represents
approximately 61.1 percent of General Fund budgeted expenditures spent this year. While these
expenditure projections do not presume that the Mid‐Year Budget will be adopted, they do reflect the
direction given to Departments to freeze hiring, reduce overtime and other adjustable expenses, submit
all purchasing requests above $50,000 to a Purchasing Review Committee, and submit all hiring requests
to a Hiring Review Committee.
The Internal Service Fund includes projections of revenues over expenses with a surplus of $8.4 million.
There is a trend of lower than budgeted health insurance costs since the local onset of COVID‐19. This is
expected to continue for the remainder of the fiscal year.
Development of the FY 2020‐21 Budget continues with the completion of the Revenue Estimating
Conference earlier this month. This was held in accordance with the Financial Integrity Principles
contained in Chapter 18 of the City Code. The conference principals reduced general fund revenues
going into the next fiscal year by slightly more than $20 million from what had been calculated prior to
the Conference. While there are some revenues still subject to change, overall General Fund revenues
are expected to be $810.6 million next year, which is approximately $2 million more than the current
year. The Miami‐Dade County Property Appraiser will deliver the preliminary taxable assessed value to
the City next week. Also, the Office of Management and Budget will host Virtual Community Budget
Meetings on:
• Tuesday, June 2, 2020 from 3:30pm to 5:00pm
• Thursday, June 4, 2020 from 7:00pm to 8:30pm
• Monday, June 8, 2020 from 5:30pm to 7:00pm
A flyer announcing these meetings is attached to this memorandum.

FY 2019‐20 End‐of‐Year Projections based on April Revenues and Expenditures
May 28, 2020
In conclusion, including two‐and‐a‐half months of a heightened COVID‐19 situation with an expected
gradual rise of revenues for the remainder of the fiscal year, the City of Miami is currently projected to
have a net year‐end deficit of $21.4 million (with a deficit of $29.8 million in the General Fund, and a
surplus of $8.4 million in the Internal Service Fund).
