Your City at Work Business Plan Fiscal Year 2013



July 24, 2012 The Honorable City Commission City of Coral Springs 9551 West Sample Road Coral Springs, FL 33065

I am pleased to present to you the adopted Business Plan for Fiscal Year 2013, which is the final Business Plan suppor ng the 20122013 Strategic Plan. This Plan outlines numerous efforts and ini a ves that will help posi on the City to meet our community’s needs despite a slow, but steady, economic recovery. Despite the media’s steady drumbeat of dire economic predic ons, there is posi ve news to report. For example, in our community, efforts to mi gate foreclosures have helped cut the total number of residences in some stage of the process to 1,941 as of June 2012 from a high of nearly 5,500 in May 2010. The City of Coral Springs’ unemployment rate has fallen to 6.9%, well below Florida’s rate of 8.5% as of May 2012. And, in a posi ve comparison to surrounding communi es in Broward County, the City saw a 1.56% increase in taxable values over the past year. This is the first increase in taxable assessed values since Fiscal Year 2008. Mee ng our Community’s Service Needs Even more importantly, despite all the economic turmoil, the City has maintained or increased service levels throughout our community. Our residents agree that we are succeeding. Our recent residen al (2011) and business (2012) surveys show that the City of Coral Springs is se ng the standard with regard to the overall quality of City services. The City of Coral Springs ranked at or above the U.S. and Florida averages in all 47 areas that were assessed on the survey. Seventynine percent (79%) of the residents surveyed in the City of Coral Springs were sa sfied (ra ngs of 4 or 5 on a 5-point scale) with the overall quality of City services compared to a na onal average of just 56% and a Florida average of 60%. Going forward, we will con nue to deliver for our community, and the following Business Plan provides a sound blueprint for focusing on the four key areas our residents have told us are most important: • • • •

Community aesthe cs Public safety Educa onal excellence Local business vitality

Impact of Maintaining the Current Millage Rate in 2013 We are adop ng a balanced budget for Fiscal Year 2013 using a millage rate of $4.5697, using $1.75 million in reserves and no increase in user fees. Adop ng the rolled-back rate was not a realis c op on given that it would have resulted in $480,000 less revenue than the current rate. This reduc on in revenue would have seriously hampered our ability to meet our residents’ most important needs. The adopted millage rate of $4.5697 is 4% higher than the current millage rate of $4.3939. This increase will allow investment in our community’s appearance, safety, and infrastructure. The addi onal tax revenue will be allocated toward such projects as restoring the financial reserve, hiring three addi onal police officers, star ng the design work for a new Safety Town, and renova ng Sartory Hall. The impact to the average single-family homeowner would be $42.62 per year in addi onal property taxes to the City.

The adopted budget includes numerous ini a ves designed to enhance our community’s quality of life. A key ini a ve in the Fiscal Year 2012 Business Plan was pension reform. We are pleased to report mutual resolu on with the City’s Police union will result in savings of over $3 million in the Fiscal Year 2013 and future budgets. Also in Fiscal Year 2012, the City’s finances were reviewed by the three major ra ng agencies. Though these reviews contained sugges ons to improve our financial posi on, we were able to maintain our AAA ra ngs. Key Ini a ves for the Coming Year While the Business Plan includes economic data as well as the City’s budget process and methodology, most essen ally it includes staff ’s proposals for ini a ves geared toward addressing our residents’ needs and enhancing our community’s look, feel and overall appeal. These ini a ves will serve as the guiding force behind the City’s Fiscal Year 2013 ac vi es. Highlights of the 32 new ini a ves, as well as 32 ongoing ini a ves, contained within the Business Plan include: •

Con nuing to invest in our vital informa on technology infrastructure, which was cri cally behind industry standards.

Encouraging business development and redevelopment by redesigning the Economic Development Founda on (EDF) web site, create an economic development strategic plan, and establish an economic incen ve account. We will also con nue to work closely with the EDF , Community Redevelopment Agency, Chamber of Commerce, and the Retail Coali on to diversify the tax base and absorb vacant commercial space.

Con nuing to support educa onal excellence by fostering our alliance with Broward College and ensuring the Charter School remains highly rated.

Con nuing to address the aesthe c appeal of our neighborhoods under the “Community Pride” umbrella. This ini a ve will enhance the appearance of our medians, rights-of-way and public buildings and will also invest heavily in our parks. Enhancing the City’s tree canopy will con nue this year with fer lizing and tree trimming, as well as with plan ng more trees throughout the parks and around public buildings.

Enhancing the efficiency and effec veness of the code enforcement process by automa ng a number of outdated and manual systems.

Revitalizing key elements of our community’s infrastructure, in part by u lizing proceeds from the low-interest Economic Recovery Zone Redevelopment Bond. Projects include improving the appearance, safety, and ease of movement in Mullins Park, and also replacing and/or renova ng the tackle football, flag football and soccer buildings. Addi onally, infrastructure improvements slated as part of the downtown development plan—including burying power lines, installing turn lanes, erec ng mast arms, and installing sidewalks—will also begin. Once these infrastructure improvements are completed, downtown Coral Springs will become more economically viable for investors as the economy begins to improve.

Maintaining a safe community will remain a top priority. Not only will the high-visibility “Make a Call, Make a Difference” campaign con nue, but we will make every effort to involve concerned ci zens in the safety of their neighborhoods by crea ng web-based repor ng mechanisms. We will invest in the latest technology to ensure our officers have the best tools for enhancing neighborhood safety.

Finally, we will celebrate the City’s 50th anniversary with events throughout the year.

Honoring our Partnership We know that maintaining our premier community requires a joint effort and strong partnership between the City and our residents and businesses. While the following Business Plan is our “community contract” for the coming fiscal year, we consider it the means to an ongoing dialogue with our residents and we offer numerous channels for feedback and sugges ons. We also know that it is our employees who make all of these accomplishments possible, and we would not have emerged from the recent recession were it not for the herculean efforts of our dedicated and crea ve work force. I thank them and express the deepest debt of gra tude for their loyalty and ingenuity. On their behalf, we all look forward to a produc ve and successful 2013 as we con nue to forge the best path for our Community of Excellence.

Fiscal Year 2013 Business Plan


Introduction The Strategy Behind the Plan

Reading the Business Plan

The Business Plan outlines how City resources will be applied within our seven priority areas to achieve the objec ves determined by the Strategic Plan. This Business Plan represents the second year in the current strategic planning process. Our strategic planning results in a mission and a set of strategic priori es that provide vision and direc on for the City. While it has evolved over the years, true to the spirit of con nuous improvement, it is s ll the linchpin in linking our day-to-day ac vi es with the mission that we aspire to achieve. We o en say the Business Plan gives “feet” to our priori es, direc onal statements, and Key Intended Outcomes, as well as establishes a structure for resource alloca on.

The Market Environment sec on is the result of an environmental scan performed prior to the strategic planning process and is updated annually. It is presented in its complete form in the Strategic Planning Workbook each year and then updated and summarized here in the Business Plan. We look at local demographic and economic market forces to iden fy emerging issues and items of concern to our residents. Direct customer feedback is solicited through surveys, focus groups, and town mee ngs, which becomes the basis for the Commission’s strategic planning.

With the strategic priori es set—and appropriate outcomes iden fied—the opera ons of the City are reviewed and redeployed to bring the strategic vision to life. Specific ini a ves are developed in response to the priori es iden fied in the Strategic Plan. This Business Plan is an outgrowth of the strategic priori es, capturing the City’s vision in a specific, directed, and quan fiable form.

Our Service and Opera ons Strategy is organized by strategic priority to document the steps we are taking to achieve the intended outcomes for each of the priority areas. Key Intended Outcomes, set by the Commission, are the measurable results we intend to achieve. The Financial Strategy provides a summary of the tac cs we are employing to maintain our stable financial condi on and respond to the lingering effects of the recent severe na onal recession. To monitor the success of the Business Plan, we use a number of measurements, as detailed in the Measuring Results sec on. The most important measure is the Composite Index, a carefully balanced indicator of the City’s overall success rela ve to past performance.

Market Environment Overview The Environmental Scan is the basis for the City’s short- and long-range planning efforts. The Scan iden fies poten al blind spots through the forward-looking analysis and comprehensive review of data from many sources including the economy, demographic pa erns, land development trends, service demand generators, technology changes, and legisla ve challenges. Its value lies in not only iden fying current constraints on the budget but future needs and opportuni es as well. Careful a en on to the Environmental Scan is indica ve of the organiza onal commitment to data-driven decision-making. It completes the ul mate feedback loop, where organiza onal direc on from the City Commission is not set un l market informa on, customer input, performance data, and all other inputs are considered. Although several noteworthy issues emerged during this analysis, two issues have the greatest poten al to derail the City’s vision: the state of the economy and legisla ve ac on. Three years a er the worst recession to hit the United States since the Great Depression officially ended, the recovery remains painfully slow. The slow economic recovery has frustrated consumers and puzzled economists. Overall, however, economic indicators such as GDP, consumer spending, inventories, and even foreclosures are moving in the right direc on. Although economic indicators are moving in the right direc on, economic, poli cal, and policy uncertainty is making the business community cau ous and unwilling to rush to invest in the tools of produc on or hire addi onal workers. Consumers, who lost a large chunk of their wealth with the devalua on of their homes and re rement por olios, are taking a wait-and-see a tude. This guarded a tude among business and consumers has dampened spending causing the economy to move along in fits and starts which in turn makes consumers more cau ous. Nevertheless, most economists agree that business is basically healthy. As one pundit declared, “while there is a lack of hiring there

2

is also a lack of firing.” There seems to be consensus that the economy is in the recovery mode, albeit a slow and listless mode, and will con nue on its upward trajectory. There also seems to be consensus among economists that the recovery is a fragile one. Just as concerning as the uncertain economy, non-economic forces on the horizon could have a significant impact on the City’s financial health. In the recently completed Florida legisla ve session, a number of bills were passed that will have a nega ve impact on city revenues such as the Business Tax and the Communica ons Service Tax. In addi on, expected reforms that would have allowed ci es to crea vely reform public safety pensions did not materialize. Further, a number of bills were introduced that would have imposed revenue and/or spending limits as well as curtail ci es’ ability to set property tax rates. These legisla ve ac ons have the poten al to limit the City’s home rule authority, diminish our residents’ ability to make their own decisions regarding their local governance, and ul mately erode the City’s revenue base.

Economic Analysis Overview Since the end of the recession in July 2009 there is good news and bad news. The good news is that the important economic indicators are moving in the right direc on. The bad news is that these indicators, while posi ve, are not as robust as we have experienced in previous economic recoveries. For example, providing evidence of a choppy recovery, the index of Leading Economic Indicators rose 0.3% in May following a 0.1% decline in April and a 0.2% increase in March. Gross Domes c Product (GDP), the total dollar value of all goods and services produced in the United States during any given me period, is one of the primary indicators used to measure the health of the na on’s economy. Calendar year 2011 started off slow (0.4% GDP growth in the first quarter) but finished strong (3.0% GDP growth in fourth quarter) raising hopes that this

Fiscal Year 2013 Business Plan


strong growth would con nue. This calendar year, however, has been disappoin ng with a modest 1.9% growth in GDP the first half of the year. As shown in the chart, Florida, which had been experiencing growth in GDP far above the na onal average in the early part of the decade, has suffered far worse during the recession than much of the rest of the country. The growth in GDP for the Miami/Fort Lauderdale/ Pompano Beach area has surpassed that of the rest of Florida during the recovery period and is approaching the na onal average in the first half of 2012. On a posi ve note, there appears to be a growing consensus among economists that the economy will grow by 2.7% in 2014 and 3% in 2015. Consumer spending, which accounts for nearly 70% of real GDP, will ul mately drive economic growth. Consumer spending grew by 2.0% during the first half of 2012 and is expected to reach 2.2% in 2014. Locally, experts are expec ng strong economic growth in South Florida due to foreign investment, popula on growth, and tourism. In fact, personal income has grown by 4.2% which is the largest growth rate in the state. Personal income is expected to reach 5% in 2014 whereas the rest of the state is expected to achieve an average growth rate of 3.5% in 2014. Likewise, employment and wages are expected to outpace the rest of the state which will, in turn, drive consumer spending. Therefore, the City will adopt an op mis c yet cau ous a tude toward the economy. This is an important dis nc on since it will guide our financial strategy of projec ng a moderate growth philosophy while at the same me taking steps to protect ourselves if the economic recovery is not as strong as hoped. Employment While there is encouraging news on the employment front, there is a long way to go. Florida’s unemployment rate has been falling consistently from its peak of 12.3% in March 2010 to 8.5% in May 2012 (the latest available data). Although Florida’s unemployment rate is at its lowest point since August 2009, it remains substan ally higher than the 5.4% of 2008. The unemployment rate in Broward County has fallen from 9.0% in May 2011 to 7.3% in May 2012. The City of Coral Springs’ unemployment rate, on the other hand, has fallen to 6.9%.

Of most concern is the labor underu liza on rate (commonly referred to as “U-6”). U-6 includes the unemployed who are looking for work as well as discouraged workers (i.e., those who have stopped looking for work). Na onally, this figure stands at 14.2% or nearly twice the unemployment rate. In Florida, U-6 currently stands at 17.3% compared to 18% at this me last year. The number of discouraged workers in Florida remains stubbornly high due to the large number of workers previously employed in the construc on industry who have not been able to secure employment since the housing bubble burst.

As the economy begins to recover, those who have stopped looking for work will once again enter the labor market. Un l this excess labor is absorbed, the unemployment rate will remain high. Therefore, experts expect Florida’s unemployment rate to stay above 8% un l midyear 2015. Employment growth in the region is expected to be the strongest in the professional and business services, health care, educa on, and manufacturing sectors. The Coral Springs Economic Development Founda on will focus on recrui ng emerging industries such as medical, informa on technology, health care, and educa on. Infla on From 2005 through 2008, the City struggled with the impact of infla on on its ability to purchase products and services. Infla on was especially troublesome in South Florida where the regional Consumer Price Index (CPI) was significantly higher than the na onal CPI. At its peak the infla on rate in Miami/Ft Lauderdale was 1.7% higher than the na onal average. In 2009, the Miami-Fort Lauderdale metropolitan area CPI not only dipped below the na onal average, as shown in the following table, the area actually experienced defla on which has the poten al to reduce economic ac vity by discouraging investment and spending.

Interest Rates As shown in the U.S. Treasuries interest rate yield curve chart, interest rates on 6-month Treasuries con nue to be near zero with longterm rates just above 2.5%. Interest rates for maturi es of two years or more are lower than one year ago. The decline in rates, in comparison to a year ago, signals reduced borrowing costs for long term debt. The fla ening of the curve, meaning that rates are not increasing with dura on as much as they were, helps reduce the cost to the City for the longer maturi es on new bonds. Together, these condi ons provide the City with the opportunity to borrow money for long term capital projects at rates that are lower than last year.

Between May 2011 and May 2012, infla on has increased na onally by 1.7% and by 1.9% in the Miami-Ft Lauderdale area (April to April). This monthly infla on rate has been declining every month since September 2011 primarily as a result of decreasing energy costs. As a Fla ening of the yield curve signals result, economists borrowing costs for long-term debt are expec ng low rates of infla on 4.50% through the end of 4.00% 2015. Nevertheless, 3.50% the City does have a number of service 3.00% contracts which 2.50% provide for price 2.00% increases linked to 1.50% infla on which will 1.00% cause the costs of 0.50% those programs to 0.00% increase over the 6 Month 1 Year 2 Year 5 Year next year. 7/11/2011

Fiscal Year 2013 Business Plan


Energy Last year at this me there was a genuine fear that the rapidly rising oil prices could derail the fragile economic recovery. Oil jumped more than $20 a barrel to $114 a barrel between April 2010 and April 2011. This caused the retail price of gasoline to climb above $4 a gallon with fears that it would approach $5 a gallon during the peak summer driving season. Since then the supply of oil has increased significantly resul ng in a reduc on in the price of oil. The price for a barrel of oil dropped from a high of $114 last year to just $83 by June 2012. Likewise, the average retail price for a gallon of gasoline has dropped from $3.99 a gallon to $3.39 a gallon. The U.S. Department of Energy is projec ng gasoline retail prices to average $3.49 per gallon in 2013 or a 14% reduc on from last year’s average price. These stabilized fuel prices will be an important factor in the future economic growth of the region. The Department of Energy expects an increase of 1% in the consump on of motor fuels next year due to rising employment and incomes as well as the recent steep decline in retail fuel prices. This increased consump on should help stabilize the City’s fuel tax receipts, expected to be nearly $5 million in Fiscal Year 2013. In March 2012 Florida Power & Light (FPL) applied for a 16% base rate increase to be implemented in two phases. As shown in the following table, a 1,000 kwh monthly bill for residen al customer would increase by 12%, or $5.23, in January 2013 and an addi onal 4%, or $1.86, beginning in June 2013. However, this monthly increase will be offset by a proposed 23% decrease, or $7.71, by June 2013. Once adjustments to other charges and taxes are considered, the 1,000 kwh monthly bill for residen al customer is es mated to increase by 0.6%, or $0.57, in January 2013 and an addi onal 0.9%, or $0.84, beginning in June 2013. The overall electric bill for business customers is expected to decrease by 3% to 4% depending on usage due to fuel efficiency savings and reduc on in the fuel surcharge.

The Public Service Commission is considering a proposal requiring FPL to meet energy conserva on goals. The proposal would require FPL to give homeowners a rebate for installing energy efficient devices, which would cover everything from hot water heater insula on to air condi oner tune-ups. FPL would be allowed to recover the costs of these rebates by increasing rates by a like amount. Although the total cost of this proposal is not known, it would require FPL to fund up to $15.5 million annually just for solar power pilot programs. FPL expects the proposal will lead to a $2 to $3 per month rate increase for the average customer. While no metable has been set for a decision, we expect the increased cost to the City in terms of elevated electric rates to be more than offset by increased electric franchise fee revenues.

Given that FPL had agreed in January 2011 not to make any changes in the base rate un l at least the end of 2012, the Public Service Commission is expected to view FPL’s request favorably. While a rate increase will cause the City’s electric bill to increase, it will be more than offset by the increase in the electric franchise fee revenue the City receives from the U lity.

Real Estate Trends A primary revenue source for the City (33% of $93 million) is ad valorem taxes and assessments, which are determined by the taxable value of real and personal property within the City limits. Changes in property values have a direct impact on the amount of revenue the City receives. Locally, market values are improving. For example, a er experiencing five years of declining values, Coral Springs’ taxable assessed values actually increased by 1.56% for Fiscal Year 2013. Foreclosures Declining The number of residen al proper es in some stage of foreclosure peaked at nearly 5,500 in May 2010. Since then the figure has dropped to 2,350, a 57% decrease. The City expects foreclosures will con nue to decline during 2012 enabling a stabiliza on of the housing market. Heading Toward a Sellers’ Market The residen al real estate market is experiencing low inventory levels available for buyers. Buyers are now compe ng with mul ple offers and most proper es are sold at or near lis ng with many closing well above. Compe on is especially tough for foreclosed proper es, where banks are receiving cash offers from investors. Because of this demand, most foreclosed proper es do not stay on the market for very long. Thirty-six new single family homes are planned on the La Placida site now called Daniela Springs. Three model homes have received a cer ficate of occupancy with 12 more expected in 2012.

Coral Springs is a strong intergenera onal community, commi ed to passing on values and tradi ons.

Fewer Commercial Vacancies The non-residen al real estate cycle started its decline later than the housing market and is likewise expected to follow the housing market to recovery. The good news is that nonresiden al proper es have not, and are not, expected to experience the same steep level of decline in property values as residen al.

Vacancy rates for office, retail, and industrial space are star ng to improve. This is par cularly true for retail. The City a racted major declined businesses including Kohl’s at the Coral Square Mall, the Renaissance Charter 267 through School in the old Target site, Aldi’s April 2012 Grocery Store near Turtle Run, Benne Auto Supply, Salt Life, the Cheese Course 1,390 at the Walk, Shoreline Aerospace in the Corporate Park, Science Care and Speed Source, and U18 Sports Medicine in Heron Bay, to name a few. Also, 742 scheduled to open later this year are Sports Authority and Marshalls. Nearly all of the “big box” spaces within the City have been filled. Coral Springs has accepted 449 new occupa onal licenses 2010 2011 in 2012 and 1,423 total in 2011 and 2012.

Fiscal Year 2013 Business Plan


Economic Development For the upcoming fiscal year, the City will con nue to posi on itself to take advantage of the economic recovery. The Economic Development Founda on (EDF) will focus on its core services of business development, business services, and workforce development. EDF will build on the findings of the branding study and use that as a catalyst for an economic development strategic plan. EDF will con nue to take many steps to posi on the City for future success by focusing on economic development oriented improvements that will increase revenues over the long term. The City will a ract businesses, events, and residents by figh ng crime, grime, and decline by inves ng in infrastructure improvements, economic development, and educa on. For example, the City will increase its contribu on to the Economic Development Founda on (EDF) by 4% in Fiscal Year 2013. The City will also fund a redesign of the EDF web site as well as an economic development incen ve account to be er enable EDF to focus on a rac ng targeted industries, including medical services, informa on technology (IT), global IT, educa onal services, logis cs and distribu on, foreign trade opportuni es in the import/export market as well as small manufacturing. Since vacancies con nue to be a challenge, we will establish a baseline of vacancy rates in the industrial, commercial/office and retail sectors. We will monitor and work toward improving these measures of economic vitality. A number of other ini a ves will be undertaken to facilitate our recovery from the recession, such as a City branding ac on plan, promo onal videos, master parking lot refurbishing along Sample Road, and economic incen ves for targeted industries. These efforts will expand and diversify the commercial tax base, laying the founda on for a stronger, more vibrant future.

Downtown Coral Springs The Coral Springs Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) con nues to prepare the downtown area for private investment and redevelopment. Its ini a ves are focused on infrastructure improvements and transporta on, increasing ac vity in the downtown area with the imminent opening of the Broward College Coral Springs campus, improving communica on with business owners and residents of the downtown area, and reducing commercial vacancies. The Sample Road and University Drive infrastructure improvements are underway. The plan includes construc on of right turn lanes, power and cable line burial, installa on of new traffic light mast arms, an enhanced pedestrian environment, installa on of new bus shelters, improved landscaping, and points of interest at the four corners. Design of u lity line burial has been completed, necessary easements and rights-of-way have been iden fied for acquisi on, and bids for the construc on manager for the project have been sought. The project is being funded by $4.2 million in low interest Recovery Zone Economic Development Bonds made available by the federal government. A $752,813 County Incen ve Grant will become available in 2015 for this project. The Broward College Coral Springs campus, located at the northwest corner of Sample and University, is currently registering students for the October 2012 class session. The opening of the college’s satellite center is the culmina on of efforts that began in 2005 with the University and College Partnership. Course offerings include day, evening, and weekend classes focusing on degree and cer ficate programs that will provide skilled workers for industries targeted by the economic development plan for the City.

The property located at the northeast corner of Sample and University has been cleared, resodded and landscaped by its owners, Publix and City Na onal. A Publix grocery store, Walgreens, and several other businesses had been on that site but damage from Hurricane Wilma in 2005 destroyed most of those buildings. Although there is ongoing development interest in the proper es, no current redevelopment plans exist. The CRA is involved in several ac vi es aimed at closer communica on with current and prospec ve business owners and residents of the downtown area. A newly-designed website will allow visitors to learn about ongoing downtown plans as well as ac vi es, events, and programs. In addi on, the CRA is crea ng an electronic communica on database of its cons tuents to maintain regular and frequent communica on. The CRA con nues to work closely with the Economic Development Founda on to iden fy poten al businesses and show them the benefits of a downtown Coral Springs loca on. Numerous Business Plan ini a ves support the revitaliza on of the downtown area. Resurfacing of master parking along Sample Road and the ongoing commercial façade program for businesses will help a ract customers to downtown businesses. The annual BizArt event and the weekend green market currently in the planning phase will bring residents and visitors to the area as early as September 2012. New and improved pedestrian and bike pathways in the area, along with con nued collabora on with Broward County and our neighboring ci es on transporta on hubs will make it easier for people to travel to the downtown area.

Demographics According to the 2010 Census, the popula on for the state of Florida is 18,801,310. This is an increase of 17.6% since the last census was conducted in 2000. As a result, Florida gained two seats in the U.S. House of Representa ves for a total of 27. Florida is one of eight states to gain at least one House seat. Florida has 350.6 people per square mile, making it the 10th most densely populated state. The decennial census provides the most accurate count of the City’s popula on. Popula on Es mate It is important to monitor popula on trends. If the City’s popula on declines dispropor onately to other ci es in the county, its share of intergovernmental revenues could decline. Our forecasts assume that our share remains constant. Further, the City has not experienced any decrease in demand for services, largely due to the counter-cyclical demand for many of our services. Popula on growth over the last two decades has not only fueled the growth in demand for City services, but the property taxes and sales taxes paid by this increasing popula on have provided the funds to pay for these increased services and infrastructure improvements. Our popula on is no longer growing at historic rates. The 2009 American Community Survey (ACS) and the University of Florida’s Bureau of Economic and Business Research (BEBR) es mates of popula on for Coral Springs were approximately 127,000, whereas the 2010 Census reported 121,096. The lower than expected popula on figure is primarily due to vacant housing units. There were 3,619 vacant homes in 2010 compared to 1,815 in 2000. The average household size is three persons. The 2010 Census provides the official counts of the popula on and housing units and the American Community Survey (ACS) produces five-year es mates (2006-2010) about social, economic, and housing characteris cs. American Community Survey The Census Bureau uses ACS to es mate municipal popula on between the na onal decennial Census. The ACS informa on is gathered through an annual survey ques onnaire mailed to a sample of households. The survey uses a five-year average to u lize a

larger sample size and counter the poten ally large margin of error experienced with the single year surveys. In addi on, the larger sample size allows for the examina on of segmented survey data. A number of trends are worth monitoring as they may indicate the need for a new mix of services. Some trends include the small increase in the propor on of residents over the age of 65, the decrease in propor on of school age residents, and the growing rate of residents of Hispanic origin. Popula on Age According to the 2010 Census, the median age of our residents is 36.5 years. When we compare these results to the 1990 Census of 31.6 years and the 2000 Census of 33.8 years, it is apparent the popula on is aging slightly. However, Coral Springs remains slightly younger than Broward County’s median age of 39.7 years. The bulk of Coral Springs’ popula on falls between five and 54 years of age, with 7.9% of residents aged 65 and older. Broward County, by contrast, has 14.3% of residents 65 years old and older. In 2000, 6% of Coral Springs residents were 65 years and older. Significantly, almost 30% of Coral Springs residents were under 19 years old, slightly less than in 2000 (33%) but more than countywide (25%). Therefore, many of the City’s services will remain geared to a younger popula on. Cultural Factors According to the U.S. Census Bureau, threequarters of all new residents in Broward County were born outside the United States. If not for this influx of immigrants, the popula on of Broward County would have dropped by more than 55,000 between July 2005 and July 2007. In fact, Broward County’s popula on mix became a “majority minority” in 2005 with minority groups making up more than half the popula on. Coral Springs is also quite diverse. According to the 2010 Census, of those repor ng one race in Coral Springs, 69% were White, 18% Black or African-American, 5% Asian, less than 0.5% Pacific Islander, less than 0.5% American Indian or Alaska na ve, and 4% some other race. These figures represent li le change from the previous survey period. Three percent of the popula on reported being of two or more races. Twenty-three percent of our residents said they were of Hispanic or La no origin (who may be of any race), a steady increase each year since

City of Coral Springs, Florida

2000 when 15.5% reported they were of Hispanic or La no origin. According to the 2006-2010 ACS, the percent of respondents who were foreign born was 26.2%.

Households and Families In 2010 the average Coral Springs household size was 2.9 people, compared to 2.5 in Broward County. The average household size has stayed the same historically, though there have been a few shi s. The number of households with one or more people 65 years or older has increased from 12.9% in 2000 to 17.1% in 2010. Coral Springs has a greater percentage (43.7%) of households with children under 18 than Broward County (32%), yet fewer than in 2000 (50.8%). Families made up 78% of the households in Coral Springs, compared to 63% for Broward County. This figure includes both married couple families (55%) and other families (22%). Non-family households made up 22% of all households in Coral Springs. Most of the non-family households were people living alone, almost 20% of whom are female age 65 and over. We remain a family-oriented community, crea ng demand for family-oriented services. The 2010 Census reported 45,433 housing units, of which almost 8% were vacant in Coral Springs. Historically, 3 to 5% of housing units stand vacant.

Educa on, Employment, and Income According to the 2006-2010 ACS, almost 39,000 people age three and older were enrolled in school. Almost 2,300 (5.9%) were in nursery school and preschool, 1,736 (4.5%) were in kindergarten, 15,035 (39%) were enrolled in grades 1-8, 9,247 (24%) were in high school, and 10,113 (26%) were in college and graduate school. College students have historically averaged 20%, yet the recent ACS es mate is much higher. Among people 25 years and older living in Coral Springs, 92% had at least graduated from high school and 36% had a bachelor’s degree or higher. In Broward County, 87% had at least graduated from high school and 29.6% had a bachelor’s degree or higher. The majority (84%) of employed people in Coral Springs worked in the private sector, 11% worked for some level of government, and 4% were self-employed. The most common occupa ons were management and professional (38%); sales and office (32%); service (16%); natural resources, construc on, and maintenance (8%); and produc on, transporta on, and material moving (6.5%). The top five industries for Coral Springs’ employed popula on were educa on services, health care, and social assistance (21%); retail trade (13.6%); professional, scien fic, management, administra ve and waste management services (13.3%); finance, insurance, and real estate (9.6%); and arts, entertainment, recrea on, accommoda on, and food services (8.3%). The average travel me to work was about equal for those in Coral Springs and Broward County at 26.6 minutes and 26.8 minutes respec vely. The es mated median household income for Coral Springs was $71,456, compared to $51,694 for Broward County. Conclusion Although the City’s popula on growth has shi ed slightly, the City con nues to be populated by young families with school-aged children. The City has a diverse ethnic/racial popula on who can read and understand English. The City con nues to have an educated popula on whose workforce earns more than the county average. We do not see a change in the taste and preferences for the goods and services we provide.

Technology The City will con nue to invest in tools that allow its employees to achieve high levels of produc vity as well as provide customer service that is second to none. A state of the art technology infrastructure is a crucial element in allowing the City to meet its service delivery goals now and in the future. This objec ve must be balanced against the need to protect ci zen confiden ality, integrity, and availability of informa on and at the same me control costs. It is also important that all City departments par cipate in the efforts to u lize technology in an efficient and effec ve manner. Technology Refresh The City completed the long awaited ini a ve to replace its desktop and laptop computers along with the associated opera ng and produc vity so ware. Many employees were using so ware that was more than 10 years old meaning it was at least three genera ons behind the latest version. In 2011 and 2012, the City replaced over 400 of its desktop and laptop computers and plans to replace another 300 in the coming months. These new computers were loaded with the latest so ware including Microso Office 2010, Windows 7, and Microso Outlook (e-mail). The cost to replace the hardware and so ware was nearly $2 million dollars. To prevent the new so ware from falling behind, an annual maintenance fee of $270,000 is required. Modernizing this cri cal technology was a significant achievement in terms of improving employee produc vity as well as our employee’s ability to communicate with our customers. In Fiscal Year 2013, the City will upgrade other cri cal so ware pla orms that have fallen behind industry standards. For example, the U.S. Department of Jus ce had mandated that all ci es upgrade the security features of the CJIS pla orm that is used by our Police Department to access vital crime data and informa on. The cost of this upgrade is $150,000. In addi on, the City must upgrade its remote access so ware (i.e., Citrix) which allows Police, Fire, and Code Enforcement personnel in the field to share informa on with headquarters and one another. The cost for this so ware upgrade is $240,000. Finally the Geographic Informa on System so ware must be upgraded to allow it to support code enforcement and public safety. This so ware upgrade will cost $102,500. This cri cal infrastructure is o en referred to as

Fiscal Year 2013 Business Plan


“back office” opera ons because they are o en out of public view. Although out of sight, these vital services are not out of mind. The City will con nue to evaluate the use of alterna ve technologies in an ongoing effort to improve the delivery of services to City staff and ci zens. For example, the City’s current enterprise so ware (i.e., Sungard H.T.E.), which has been in use for nearly 20 years, is in need of moderniza on. The City will procure the services of an independent expert to assist in the review of user needs and requirements and advise on poten al solu ons. A modernized enterprise so ware program will greatly enhance the produc vity of employees as well as provide ci zens with a self-service capability for some City services.

The City needs to upgrade its remote access so ware which allows Police, Fire and Code Enforcement personnel in the field to share informa on.

Server Technology

• Establish energy consump on metrics

Just as the desktop technology had fallen cri cally behind industry standards, the SQL server so ware has not been replaced since 2000 and is three genera ons behind. SQL server so ware has a similar func on to the opera ng system on a desktop computer. It will cost $360,000 to upgrade this so ware which includes an annual maintenance contract. To effec vely run the new so ware, the City replaced 59 of its servers at a cost of $300,000.

• Monitor energy consump on on a regular basis

Advances in virtualiza on technology have resulted in new methods of delivery. For example, the City has consolidated computer servers from standalone servers to mul ple virtual servers running on a single physical server. Currently, the City operates 50 virtual servers and 50 physical servers. In addi on to reducing the amount of electricity for powering servers, virtualiza on reduces the data center’s cooling needs and further reduces the City’s carbon footprint. Green Informa on Technology Wherever possible the City incorporates industry best prac ces to achieve maximum green benefits in all aspects of technology opera ons. A green informa on technology strategy is not only the environmentally responsible thing to do it also saves money. Green Informa on Technology Strategy • Determine the total energy consump on of all electronic equipment such as desktops, monitors, keyboards, laptops, printers, copiers, scanners, phones, cell phones, and wireless devices.

City of Coral Springs, Florida

• Iden fy areas for energy savings such as ensuring all desktop and laptop computers meet industry standards and are ‘Energy Star’ rated. Network Infrastructure The City conducts business using combina ons of voice, video, data, and mobility network applica ons. With the rapid changes occurring in voice and data technologies, it is cri cal that City staff have the capability to access and communicate informa on in a variety of loca ons, whether from their desks, in conferences rooms, parks, or vehicles. Planning is underway to determine the feasibility of merging the voice and data infrastructure as well as enhance wireless connec vity throughout the City. The current phone system has reached its technical end of life and can no longer support addi onal users or features. The goal is to implement a unified communica on infrastructure that fully incorporates Voice Over Internet Protocol (VOIP) and takes full advantage of internal technical resources.

The City will continue to invest in technology to ensure we can continue to provide topnotch service to our customers.

The voice and data network upgrade project will start in the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2013 with the project expected to be fully implemented by the end of the second quarter. A key element of this project is the u liza on of the exis ng investment that the City has made in network devices and ensuring that any new devices are fully compa ble.

Legisla ve Issues The City is most concerned about legisla on that could erode its home rule authority or impose mandates on the City without a corresponding funding source. Communica ons Service Tax HB 809, passed by the Florida legislature during its 2012 session and effec ve July 1, 2012, makes numerous changes to the communica ons service tax (CST), which represents about 5% of the City’s revenues. Technical changes to the defini on of “sales price” of communica ons services subject to various types of taxes may result in a slight decrease in our CST revenue. The bill also created a Communica on Service Tax Working Group tasked with reviewing tax policy and iden fying op ons for removing compe ve advantages within the industry. This group will submit a report to the governor and legisla ve bodies in February 2013, and it is likely that more changes in the CST will occur next year as a result of this report. Exemp ons from Local Business Tax Another bill which passed during this session of the legislature exempts real estate sales associates and broker associates from paying local business tax. We expect our business tax revenue to decline by approximately $100,000 in Fiscal Year 2013 as a result of this change. Pension Reform Legisla ve constraints placed on public safety pension plans con nue to have a significant effect on municipal budgets. While some headway was made in the 2011 legisla ve session, further reforms proposed in the 2012 session were not successful. The City will con nue to support and lobby for reforms in this area.

12

Cons tu onal Amendments on November 2012 Ballot Several proposed cons tu onal amendments passed in the 2011 and 2012 Florida legisla ve sessions will, if approved by the voters at the November 2012 elec on, affect City revenue beginning in Fiscal Year 2014. Amendment 4 is expected to have the greatest impact on City revenue. It will: • Prohibit increases in the assessed value of property if the just value decreases. • Reduce the limit on annual assessment increases for certain non-homesteaded property from 10% to 5%. • Allow new homeowners (those who have not received a homestead exemp on in the past three years) to receive an addi onal exemp on equal to 50% of the just value of the property, to be phased out over the first five years of the property’s ownership. While the intent of the amendment is to s mulate sales of foreclosed proper es, it will also reduce property tax revenue at an indeterminate level. Amendment 10 will provide a tax exemp on for personal property taxes for those owners (primarily small businesses) with tangible personal property of less than $50,000. Several other proposed amendments will provide addi onal property tax exemp ons for surviving spouses of veterans or first responders, and low-income seniors who have maintained long-term residency on their property. Amendment 3 will limit state revenues based on infla on and popula on changes. This limita on will trickle down to municipal governments, since about 10% of our revenues are derived from state revenues.

Fiscal Year 2013 Business Plan


Service and Operations Strateg y This Business Plan covers the second year within a two-year Strategic Plan for Fiscal Years 2012 and 2013. The seven priori es iden fied by the City Commission for this strategic planning cycle set the agenda for this Business Plan, namely: • Customer-Involved Government • Neighborhood and Environmental Sustainability • Financial Health and Economic Development • Traffic, Mobility, and Connec vity • Youth Development and Family Values • Strength in Diversity • Excellence in Educa on While the Strategic Plan sets out the vision, the Business Plan outlines tangible plans for making the vision a reality. In each of the priority areas, department directors have developed ini a ves that will direct the way the City operates in order to address our seven priori es and implement the vision expressed in the Strategic Plan.

A Word About Exis ng Services and Ongoing Ini a ves In some sec ons, we have highlighted ini a ves that were in previous Business Plans that are s ll being implemented in Fiscal Year 2013. Generally, if an ini a ve is fully opera onal and integrated into our service package, it will not be men oned. The emphasis is on mul year implementa on and the evolu on of exis ng ini a ves. For more detail about the services we provide and the performance measures we use to manage those services, please reference the departmental sec ons of the Annual Budget.

Customer-Involved Government New Ini a ves City Hall Ligh ng and Entrance ADA Modifica ons Lead Department: Public Works Capital Outlay: $205,000 This project will provide be er accessibility to this facility while improving the aesthe cs of the front entrance into City Hall North. In Fiscal Year 2012, an assessment was conducted along with an es mate of construc on costs. The next phase consists of construc ng a ramp outside the east and west doors of the lobby in place of the exis ng step down. This improvement will facilitate customer access to offices located on the east and west side of the building as well as entrance from the rear parking lot into City Hall offices. The concrete landing in the front of City Hall will be replaced with pavers or stamped concrete to create an aesthe c appeal and be er visibility to all customers and visitors. Other enhancements planned to improve safety at this building include ligh ng in front of the wings and along the center driveway.

Enterprise Resource Program Lead Department: Information Services Capital Outlay: $30,000 (allocated in FY 2012) Staff is planning to modernize the current enterprise so ware applica on (i.e., Sungard H.T.E.) or replace it with a different enterprise resource program (ERP). The main goal of modernizing the ERP is to streamline the financial, budge ng, human resources, building, permi ng, asset management, and licensing processes throughout the City. An improved ERP will also provide self-service func onality for both ci zens and staff. Other advantages of an ERP system is that it reduces redundant data entry, tracks ac vity and cost informa on associated with work orders, manages the collec on of money from mul ple loca ons with full audit trails, and produces flexible financial reports. A key advantage of this applica on is the capability to fully integrate asset management with the general ledger. Prior to modernizing the current 20 year old system, the City will spend this year learning stakeholders’ needs and determining alterna ves available in the marketplace.

Fiscal Year 2013 Business Plan


IT Infrastructure Moderniza on Lead Department: Informa on Services Capital Outlay: $1,000,000 Lease: $500,000 per year for four years beginning in Fiscal Year 2014 The City is planning to merge its voice and data network onto a single pla orm. This merger is expected to increase the quality of service because of alternate rou ng of both voice and data. With this merger no single site outage will impact service at other loca ons and service will be re-routed automa cally using new and improved technology. The City will experience a reduc on in the cost of internal calls based on calls being routed on the City’s infrastructure as opposed to a local carrier. Key components of the new voice and data architecture include: replacing the exis ng phone system, servers, switches and routers, and the purchase of addi onal so ware licenses. The exis ng voice system has been in place for over seven years and is no longer supported by the vendor. It is an cipated the new pla orm will serve the City’s voice and data requirements for the next ten years.

Building Division Customer Service Enhancements Lead Department: Building Opera ng Expenses: $10,000 The Building Division will undertake two new programs to improve customer service. The first program will educate homeowners who make building improvements to their own homes. These people are o en inexperienced in construc on and may not be aware of their responsibili es and liabili es during the building process. All residen al owner/builders will be offered a pre-submi al mee ng with staff specific to the work involved which will allow them to understand the processes, procedures, and expecta ons of their project. In addi on, the Building Division will revise its website and handouts to make them more useful to builder/ owners. The second facet of the program will be a survey of building inspec on customers. We will gather feedback from our residents, business owners

City of Coral Springs, Florida

and contractors on ways we can provide the best building inspec on service. Each customer will be given a survey to complete. The completed survey will be returned by the customer directly to an independent survey firm. This firm will analyze the results and provide the City only aggregate level informa on.

City Charter Review Lead Department: City A orney’s Office Opera ng Expenses: $20,000 The City’s Charter provides for the periodic review of the Charter to ensure the structure con nues to serve the needs of the community. Every ten years the City Commission appoints a 15-member commi ee to review the City’s charter, make recommenda ons for any changes to the Commission, and provide for public input at the commi ee’s mee ngs. This commi ee will be appointed in March 2013. Applica ons for membership to the commi ee will be made available at the beginning of 2013 to give the Commission me to review the applica on materials. The commi ee must submit its recommenda ons to the City Commission by November 2013. In 2004, (the last me the commi ee convened) the Commission directed staff to arrange for inclusion of the recommended changes on the General Elec on ballot.

Downtown Planning Lead Department: Community Development Partner: Community Redevelopment Agency Opera ng Expenses: $5,000 Opera ng Capital: $15,000 Based on input received at the May 2012 Visioning Summit and other survey results, the City will con nue to explore appropriate uses for the Downtown area in terms of public gathering opportuni es, future ac vi es, and the connec vity between the public and private spaces needed to create a sustainable Downtown. The City will coordinate a discussion of the an cipated gateway hub, amphitheater and other civic uses within the Downtown. These uses will also promote pedestrian and bicycling connec ons which together will create a “sense of place” the residents/commercial owners have been seeking for the past several years. Encouraging public-private partnerships will be

15


a cornerstone discussion. Ul mately, Downtown zoning district (s) will be codified in order to further this effort.

Code Enforcement Rangers (2012-2013) Lead Department: Code Enforcement Opera ng Expenses: $4,700

Ongoing Ini a ves Street Ligh ng Improvements (2012-2013) Lead Department: Public Works Capital Outlay: $20,000 This program was ini ated last year in response to customer’s comments regarding inadequate street ligh ng in nine of 30 residen al survey sec ons. These concerns are also communicated during Slice of the Springs Mee ngs and through the City’s Help Desk. In Fiscal Year 2012, the City employed a licensed tree trimmer to properly prune trees away from blocked lights; therefore enhancing illumina on and visibility of City streets. In the event tree trimming doesn’t improve foot candle, streetlights would be upgraded from 70-wa to 150-wa high pressure sodium fixtures. Other measures that will con nue in Fiscal Year 2013 are focused on be er repor ng light outages and quicker replacement of non-working street lights. To do so, the City hired two part me staff to assist iden fying and monitoring ligh ng outages at night. In addi on, Code Rangers have been trained to find pole numbers and conduct inspec ons in neighborhoods during the winter months when sunset occurs earlier in the evening. A media educa onal campaign is under way to instruct residents on the proper method of repor ng streetlight outages. A mobile message board was deployed in front of the Slice of the Springs mee ngs encouraging the public to call the “Streetlight Outages” hotline, thereby contribu ng to the safety of their neighborhoods. Improving ligh ng in neighborhoods is expected to increase the percep on of safety among the Coral Springs’ community.

Code Rangers are volunteers trained to help improve the aesthe cs of the City by helping Code Officers uncover simple viola ons such as dirty roofs, overgrown lawns and hedges, trash and li er, and illegal signs. The group of volunteers receives 16 hours of training before being assigned to a patrol zone where they issue friendly reminder door hangers at proper es with viola ons. If viola ons aren’t corrected within a reasonable period, the case is assigned to a Code Officer. In Fiscal Year 2012, they have also assisted with the street tree program and business tax programs, and with checking streetlight outages. Several re red police vehicles have been converted to Code Ranger patrol vehicles for use by these volunteers. The Code Rangers have completed over 4,800 inspec ons in the first three quarters of this year, with a 70% compliance rate. Web-Based Crime Repor ng (2012-2013) Lead Department: Police Opera ng Expenses: Exis ng Forfeiture Fund: $36,000 (approved in previous years) The goal of the web-based repor ng program is to provide an op on for ci zens to report certain types of crimes directly from their home or business. Customers will be able to selfreport incidents such as minor the , vandalism, lost property, harassing phone calls, or other minor crimes without a suspect 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, without having to wait for an officer to respond to their call. The report will be reviewed and approved by Police Department personnel, and ci zens will be able to obtain an official copy of the police reports within 5 business days. The program is currently under development. The City’s Informa on Services department is working on expor ng the informa on to the records management system. Once that has been accomplished, the program will be tested and publicized so that ci zens can begin making their reports.

Fiscal Year 2013 Business Plan


Neighborhood and Environmental Sustainability New Ini a ves Burglary Enforcement and Reduc on (BEAR) Unit Lead Department: Police Opera ng Expenses: $15,000 Capital Outlay: $80,000 In 2011, residen al and vehicle burglaries increased in Coral Springs. In December 2011, a temporary BEAR unit was formed to determine if the unit, in conjunc on with other police department programs, could have an effect on the burglary rate. The temporary unit has been very successful, using proac ve methods such as analyzing crime sta s cs to determine mes and loca ons where burglaries are likely to occur, educa ng residents on crime-preven on tac cs, and conduc ng high visibility patrols in targeted neighborhoods. From January 1 to March 31, 2012, residen al burglaries decreased over 15% and vehicle burglaries decreased 46% from the same me period in 2011.

The permanent BEAR unit will be composed of one sergeant and six officers, all from current department staff. Opera ng expenses consist of addi onal salary for the sergeant upgrade as well as special assignment compensa on for officers assigned to the unit. The capital outlay consists of funding for vehicles, GPS locators, and other specialized equipment.

Resurface Master Parking Lots Lead Department: Public Works Capital Outlay: $248,000 To encourage economic development and support its exis ng business the City will invest in the aesthe cs improvements to the master parking lots along Sample Road. In Fiscal Year 2013, the scheduled enhancements include repairing, resurfacing, and re-striping master parking lots east of Riverside Drive, as well as adding new signs, sign posts, and stubs. As part of the improvements, parking stripes and ramps will be upgraded to comply with current ADA requirements. This resurfacing effort will enhance safety in the community and the aesthe c improvements will enhance the curb appeal of these commercial areas.

Public Safety Technology Upgrades

Public Art for 50th Anniversary

Lead Department: Police

Lead Department: Community Development

Capital Outlay: $132,000

Partner: Public Art Commi ee

Today’s police departments rely on numerous high-tech tools to effec vely fight crime, some of which are in need of upgrade. For example, the Department’s exis ng license plate reader is woefully outdated. The replacement units incorporate high-resolu on cameras to scan vehicle tags while an officer is driving. If a stolen or suspect tag is iden fied, the system will immediately alert the officer, provide a phone alert to inves gators, and upload the vehicle’s GPS loca on into a web-based program available to law enforcement agencies across the na on.

Public Art Fund: $75,000

The Department’s automated fingerprint iden fica on system (AFIS) also needs to be replaced. The current AFIS system works in conjunc on with that of the Broward Sheriff ’s Office. Since BSO intends to upgrade its system, the CSPD must upgrade its system to remain compa ble. The AFIS unit consists of a computer, so ware, camera, and an FBIcer fied scanner that allow users to capture, encode, and submit latent fingerprints and palm prints directly from evidence. With this equipment, latent print experts can conveniently track cases through the system, perform quality checks, and verify search results. Funds will also be used to purchase computer forensic analysis equipment to allow officers to retrieve evidence stored in cell phones, computers, and other electronic devices. The Department currently must rely on other agencies’ computer forensic units for this type of analysis, and having its own equipment will allow inves ga ons to proceed more quickly.

The City’s Public Art Program will celebrate its 10th anniversary in 2013 and has introduced a number of ar sts and artworks to the City. Since its incep on, 14 works of art have been purchased or commissioned through this program. This ini a ve will provide increased publicity for the City’s 50th anniversary and the Public Art Program. The Public Art Commi ee has placed a call for ar sts to commission a unique piece of art for the City. The proposed loca on for the artwork will be at the east entry of Atlan c Boulevard. The Commi ee will review the ar sts’ submi als and ul mately recommend the ar st and artwork for the City Commission to approve. The Public Art Commi ee has budgeted $75,000 in FY 2013 to complete this project.

Public Safety Communica on System and Equipment Upgrade Study Lead Department: Police Opera ng Expenses: $45,000 The current P25 communica on equipment is an analog based system. The development of digital technology has made it difficult to procure repair parts. In fact, the manufacturer of the City’s equipment stopped making replacement parts in 2005. The decrease in the availability of parts has greatly increased the cost to operate the system. Furthermore, the manufacturer has announced it will no longer support analog systems. The City, therefore, will take steps to upgrade this important system. Replacing the P25 communica on system is complex and costly. Es mates range from $4 million to $8 million. Therefore, it is important this project be done correctly the first me. The City will procure the services of an independent consultant to conduct a needs analysis; advise it on the op ons available; assist in wri ng a request for proposal; and assist in evalua ng responses to its request for proposal. The consultant will explore both short- and longterm solu ons that will be cost-effec ve and serve the needs of our ci zens and employees.

Fiscal Year 2013 Business Plan


Single-Family Rental Registra on Program Lead Departments: Code Enforcement Operating Expenses: $120,389 Capital Outlay: $52,540 Declining real estate prices over the past several years and the foreclosure crisis have created the perfect market for the real estate investor. Many of the single-family home foreclosures in Coral Springs have been purchased by investors and are being used as rental proper es. We es mate there are approximately 2,700 rental homes in the city. These proper es have accounted for a significant por on of new code enforcement cases over the past year.

A rac ng more tournaments and special events is an important outgrowth of this beau fica on effort by transforming this park into a showcase for the City. The first phase included architectural drawings for the construc on of three new buildings at Mullins Park. Design plans for a new pathway around the three baseball fields and football field was also completed last year, as well as demoli on of the soccer and flag football buildings. During phase II of this project, staff will coordinate installa on of ar ficial turf on the grass around the playground, complete construc on of new sidewalks from NW 29th Street to the main road in the park as well as the sec on near the pool. The construc on of the three park buildings will commence.

This ini a ve will expand the current landlord registra on program. Currently, owners of rental proper es with two or more units are required to register with the City, which provides us with a database of contact informa on for use in case of emergencies and for correc ng code viola ons. This ini a ve will require landlords of single-family residences to register those proper es as well.

Modernizing Mullins Park will require the installa on of direc onal signage throughout the park, upgrades to landscaping, and replacement of park equipment such as benches, trash cans, and picnic tables.

The improved Single-Family Rental Registra on Program will consist of educa on of tenants and landlords on Coral Springs code requirements, and an annual exterior inspec on of those proper es. Addi onal personnel may be needed to implement this program. Expenses of the program consist of salary, benefits, and equipment and supplies. Opera ng expenses will be offset by the revenue generated from the registra on fee of $79 per home.

Mullins Park Revitaliza on—Phase II Lead Department: Parks and Recrea on Capital Outlay: $400,000

Royal Palm Entryway Construc on

Capital Outlay: $94,709 allocated in FY 2012; $155,291 in FY 2013 Tree Trust Fund: $175,000. In 2012, staff was directed to obtain a survey instrument, select a landscape architect to implement the conceptual design and ul mately work towards construc on of an entry feature at the east entrance of the City on Royal Palm Blvd. This is the first of several poten al entryways iden fied for aesthe c improvements and involves coordina on with numerous en es.

An important element of the Mullins Park Revitaliza on was the crea on of an integrated architectural landscape design to give a coordinated look and feel to all neighboring facili es, including the Public Safety Complex and the Center for the Arts.

The City has received permission from the north side property owner (Coral Springs Chris an Academy) to obtain the necessary easements and design proposal that will place a por on of the improvements within their property. This includes dele ng an unconstructed egress/ingress opening on Royal Palm Boulevard that requires County ac on. Sunshine Water Control District and Coral Springs Improvement District must also approve the plans impac ng their easement (culvert) and pump sta on improvements.

In 2011, a landscape conceptual plan was developed for this park. Recommenda ons from the plan suggested improving the appearance, safety, and ease of movement within the park.

In addi on to the efforts described above, the Design Development Plan will be presented for review and approval by the City which includes a meandering sidewalk on the north side of Royal

This program’s goal is to improve the overall aesthe c appearance of Mullins Park, the oldest and largest park in Coral Springs.

Palm Boulevard, a retaining wall and decora ve columns, landscaping with irriga on, landscape ligh ng, decora ve paving, and the installa on of pedestrian street lights. Royal Palm Blvd. will be curbed with improved drainage along the north side from the City’s east boundary Riverside Drive.

Median Master Plan—Phase I Lead Department: Parks and Recrea on Capital Outlay: $150,000 In 2012, an architectural review of all City medians was conducted to analyze exis ng condi on and present recommenda ons. As a result, a Median Master Plan is being developed to implement the suggested improvements. Some of the recommended median upgrades include adding new trees, installa on of new shrubs, removing exis ng ground cover and replacing with new ground cover, installa on of a more efficient irriga on system, and adding new sod and shrubs. The plan is intended to unify the look of the medians, contribu ng to the City’s goal of revitalizing the aesthe cs and improving the percep on of how people view the City. In Fiscal Year 2013, median landscaping will begin along Coral Ridge Drive, Coral Springs Drive, and Wyndham Lakes. The remaining City maintained medians will be scheduled for beau fica on efforts in the near future.

Community Wildlife Habitat Designa on Lead Department: Community Development Opera ng Expenses: $1,500 Several years ago, the City of Coral Springs registered with the Na onal Wildlife Federa on to become a cer fied Community Wildlife Habitat. To receive this dis nc on 300 private proper es, seven public proper es, and five school proper es must be cer fied backyard habitats. Currently there are nine public proper es and seven school proper es cer fied but only 248 single family proper es. Although staff has taken every opportunity to encourage residents to register, the rate at which new proper es are being cer fied has slowed significantly over the last couple years. To achieve the goal of receiving Community Wildlife Habitat Cer fica on by the 2013 Earth Fest event, the City will refocus a en on in two ways. First, staff will send informa on to homeowners in neighborhoods explaining how their property fulfills all the requirements of the backyard habitat program by virtue of their loca on. Good examples include, but are not limited to, Whispering Woods and Woodside Estates, and The Preserve. Second, the City will offer na ve plants to homeowners who get cer fied to make their property even more wildlife friendly. The value of the plants will not exceed $15 per property. Providing adequate wildlife habitat throughout the City leads to a decrease in nuisance wildlife. In addi on, the use of bu erfly gardens and na ve plants to a ract wildlife is in line with the new Florida Friendly Landscape Ordinance that encourages the use of more shrubs and bushes to reduce landscape watering needs.

Fiscal Year 2013 Business Plan


Park Facili es Maintenance Crew

CDBG Ac on Plan (2011-2013)

Lead Department: Parks and Recrea on

Lead Department: Community Development

Opera ng Expenses: $221,036

FY 2013 CDBG Alloca on: $586,468

Capital Outlay: $140,100

Each year, the City is required to complete an annual Ac on Plan as a part of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program. The plan describes specific projects and ac vi es that the City will undertake in the coming year to address priority needs iden fied in the five year plan. These priori es include providing a suitable living environment, decent and affordable housing, and expanded economic opportuni es.

The purpose of this program is to maintain City parks in op mal condi ons. To do so, it will be necessary to hire a maintenance crew to assist exis ng staff in keeping all park facili es safe and aesthe cally pleasant for our customers. The crew will consist of three new technicians and one maintenance worker who will perform miscellaneous repairs. The goal is to have an in-house crew to immediately address plumbing and electric related issues occurring in City parks, as well as other upkeep and maintenance, such as carpet replacement, pain ng, and replacement of lights. Having in-house staff, rather than contractors, conduct proac ve maintenance and repairs will reduce costs and ensure the parks are maintained to the standards our customers expect.

Ongoing Ini a ves Water Saving Devices (2012-2013) Lead Department: Public Works Capital Outlay: $100,000 (Facili es Reserves) This program is to upgrade exis ng restroom plumbing fixtures, such as toilets, urinals, faucets, and shower heads in 12 City facili es to water saving devices, as recommended in an energy study conducted in 2009 and 2010. The Consultant’s report observed the poten al for 30% in water savings through the installa on of water conserving mo on ac vated low flow flush valves or water strainers at the Center for the Arts. The report iden fied similar benefits at the 12 buildings evaluated under the Audit. The implementa on phase began in Fiscal Year 2012. Plumbing retrofits were accomplished in City Hall South, Fire Sta ons 43 and 95, and the Westside Compound. In Fiscal Year 2013, the City will con nue replacing exis ng plumbing fixtures with improved and more efficient devices at the following facili es: Charter School, Fire Training Academy, City Hall North, Gymnasium, Tennis Center, Aqua cs, Cypress Hammock Park and Center for the Arts.

City of Coral Springs, Florida

The CDBG program allows the City to u lize grant funds for capital improvement projects in the City’s low- to moderate-income areas. The following projects are listed in the 2012-2013 Ac on Plan: • NW 38th Drive Sidewalk (curb, gu er and drainage): $250,000 • Commercial Façade Program: $80,000 • Playground Replacement (Poinciana Park): $51,205 • Youth Scholarship Program: $47,000 • Senior Recrea on and Func onal Training $30,970 • Senior Recrea on and Therapeu c Program: $10,000 • Planning and Administra on: $117,293 Inflow and Infiltra on Program (2012-2013) Lead Department: Public Works—U li es Capital Outlay: $1M (Renewal and Replacement Fund) The purpose of this program is preven ng the inflow and infiltra on of ground water into the sewer lines, which ul mately travels to Broward County Wastewater Treatment Facility for treatment. A Wastewater Facili es Plan, created in 2007 iden fied this project as a top priority for the City. Rehabilita on of the sanitary sewer system began in Fiscal Year 2012 with relining defec ve or cracked sewer lines, manhole repair and coa ng, point repairs, and site restora on. There are a number of vitrified clay segments and joints that are allowing groundwater to enter the sewer system due to decay, cracking and root intrusion. This extra water adds to the

21


flow of wastewater sent to Broward County for treatment, needlessly increasing the pumping, treatment, and disposal costs. This ini a ve allows the City to con nue sewer rehabilita on, making great strides toward elimina ng the infiltra on, preven ng structural defects, while reducing wastewater treatment costs paid to the County. Community Pride Phase IV (2010-2013) Lead Department: Parks and Recrea on Capital Outlay: $2,000,000 CDBG: $301,205 The Community Pride ini a ve got off the ground in 2010 by developing a mul year plan focusing on revitalizing city facili es, rights-ofway, parks, and medians in prepara on for the City’s anniversary. This ini a ve, therefore, will dovetail with the 50th Anniversary Commi ee’s ini a ve meant to plan events celebra ng the City’s anniversary.

Community Pride con nued in 2011 with projects designed to revitalize the look of the City, such as modifica ons to exis ng bicycle and pedestrian walkways, parking lot improvements, renova ons to neighborhood parks, and enhancing and alloca ng addi onal resources to the maintenance of roadway medians. In 2012, these projects con nued and addi onal projects designed to enhance the aesthe c appeal of City-owned proper es began. For example, park common grounds (non-athle c fields) were fer lized on a con nuing basis to beau fy the en re park. In previous years the City invested heavily in restoring the tree canopy. The City hired an inhouse tree trimming crew to maintain a healthy tree canopy by regular and proper trimming of those trees. A full- me arborist has established a master tree trimming program to include trees in medians and at all public buildings, parks and linear parks throughout the City. Other projects that promote beau fica on efforts were implemented during Fiscal Year 2012. These include pain ng and pressure cleaning of buildings, resurfacing and maintaining City roads, repair and replacement of roofs at various City facili es, and upkeep of athle c fields and pools. Proposed ac vi es for Fiscal Year 2013 are: upgrades to Mullins Park, con nued replacement of playgrounds at City parks, upgrades to parking lots and pathways, pain ng the exterior of various park buildings, beau fica on of park grounds, streetlight upgrades, signage enhancements, pressure cleaning roofs and walls of City facili es, and installa on of new fencing at City facili es. Improvements to landscape will be made on linear parks and medians as suggested in the Median Master Plan. Pressure cleaning of curbs and sidewalks will con nue throughout the City.

Fiscal Year 2013 Business Plan


Neighborhood Stabiliza on Program (NSP3)

Tree Canopy Restora on (2010-2013)

Lead Department: Community Development

Lead Department: Community Development

Grant Funded: $1,657,845

Opera ng Expenses: $60,000 (Tree Trust Fund)

In 2010, Congress appropriated a third round of Neighborhood Stabiliza on Program funds through the Dodd-Frank Act enabling the City to receive an addi onal alloca on of $1,657,845.

For many years, the City has been commi ed to reaching at least 30% tree canopy coverage Citywide. Thirty percent canopy coverage is significant because of the enhanced benefits to the environment at this level. The benefits include reduc on of heat islands, increased rainfall intercep on, reduced flooding and increased oxygen produc on.

The main goal of NSP3 is to invest funds in programs and projects that revitalize targeted neighborhoods and reconnect those neighborhoods with the economy, housing market, and social networks of the community and metropolitan area as a whole. The City has been using these funds to provide grant assistance to low-to-moderate income persons through the following strategies. Financing Mechanism (Purchase Assistance): This ac vity sets aside funds to address the abundance of vacant homes by assis ng qualified buyers with purchasing a foreclosed property that has been deemed eligible under NSP3.

This goal was dealt a severe setback during the 2004 and 2005 hurricane seasons when nearly a third of the mature tree canopy was destroyed. The City had reached an approximate coverage of 23% prior to this but was reduced to an es mated 16% a er the hurricanes. To achieve to a 30% tree canopy by 2020, as outlined in the City’s Comprehensive Plan, several components are in place.

Purchase and Rehabilita on Assistance: This ac vity sets aside funds to assist homeowners that purchased a foreclosed property with NSP3 funds to help them make minor repairs and/or make energy eďŹƒcient improvements. Twenty-five percent of the funds from each type of assistance must be set aside to assist low-income persons, with the remainder used for moderate-income persons. The City must expend 50% of funds by March 2013 and 100% by March 2014. Eight proper es have been purchased to date with five more proper es under contract. It is an cipated that fi een proper es will be purchased and improved.

Street Tree Subsidy Program – In 2006, the City began this program which allowed eligible property owners to plant appropriate shade trees as street trees and receive up to $200 in subsidy per tree. This program was later expanded to include mul family and commercial proper es as well. This program is now in its final year in 2012 and its conclusion will have provided all eligible neighborhoods in the City with an opportunity to take advantage of the street tree subsidy program. As a result, over 3,000 trees have been planted in residen al neighborhoods and nearly 600 street trees were planted in commercial districts. Tree Master Plan - The City has embarked on a mul year Tree Master Plan to install a significant number of trees in City parks and on other public property. These trees will be further supplemented by na ve understory plan ng where appropriate. Over the next 10 years, trees planted under the Tree Master Plan and the Street Tree Subsidy Program will mature and will contribute significantly to the overall canopy coverage. Effec ve educa on including informa on on “Right Tree, Right Place” – In conjunc on with the Street Tree Subsidy Program, the City began an educa onal campaign for property owners. The goal is to encourage comprehensive tree care understanding that includes selec ng trees with quality structure, plan ng them correctly and in appropriate loca ons and caring for the trees over the long term.

24

Evalua ng extent of canopy coverage – In accordance with the Comprehensive Plan, the City will begin performing a tree canopy analysis every five years to determine progress towards the 30% tree canopy goal. GIS-based tree inventory – The City has completed the first phase of developing a Geographic Informa on System-based tree inventory for public property. The inventory includes almost 2,000 trees located around public buildings. An expansion of the tree inventory to include medians and parks will be undertaken by the City arborist. This data will be valuable for ensuring that the City-owned trees will be properly documented and cared for. Addi onally, it opens up the possibility to begin quan fying the economic benefits of trees as part of the green infrastructure. Code Enforcement Process Improvement (20122013) Lead Department: Informa on Services Opera ng Expenses: $24,000 The purpose of this ini a ve is to improve the efficiency and effec veness of parts of the Code Enforcement process by upda ng some of the division’s automated systems. New so ware should allow the staff to handle an increased caseload as well as allow ci zens to submit code viola ons more easily. In Fiscal Year 2012 the process for purchasing a complete business applica on for Code Enforcement began, and vendor presenta ons were made in the fourth quarter of the year. In the third quarter, a free smartphone applica on was launched that allows ci zens to report code viola ons and submit photos with the report.

Prior to the recession, the Academy was filled with new students working toward basic fire service cer fica on, a lengthy, involved course of study which commands high tui on rates. As hiring of new firefighters has fallen off, the Academy now primarily provides in-service training and required recer fica on of exis ng professional firefighters, at significantly lower rates. The Coral Springs Fire Academy is an integral part of the Fire Department but it has evolved to serve a wider purpose, fulfilling the training needs of over 35 fire departments across eight coun es. It was recognized as the top fire training center in the State of Florida in 2007 and 2011. The Academy has con nually contributed to the improvement of fire service training in Florida and has one of the largest academies in the state by volume of students. The promo onal campaign will feature this long history of excellence, promo ng the City as an educa onal center, as a means to a ract students interested in the basic fire service cer fica on.

Capital Outlay: $26,425 (City Match) The City received two grants from the Florida Department of Health EMS Matching Grant program for the purchase of Emergency Medical Services equipment. The funds will be used to purchase four video laryngoscopes and three chest compression devices. The City is required to provide at least a 25% match of the total cost. During calendar year 2011, the Fire Department responded to 13,556 calls for service (23,698 total runs). Of these, 54 required advanced airway interven on and 17 required addi onal measures to secure an airway. Time is of the essence when establishing an airway and the longer this procedure takes, the lower the chances of survival. With the use of a video laryngoscope, it only takes seconds to intubate a pa ent. Cardiac events occurred in 62 of the calls for service. The key to a successful resuscita on of a pa ent suffering from cardiac arrest is con nuous effec ve chest compressions. The automa c chest compression devices offer high-quality, uninterrupted CPR. Both the video laryngoscopes and the chest compression devices allow the Department to increase opera onal efficacy as well as improve pa ent survival rates.

Water Rate Study Lead Department: Public Works—U li es Operating Expenses: $35,000 (Water and Sewer Fund) The 2007 Water and Sewer Rate Study recommended replacing the current twoer rate structure with an en rely new rate structure designed to encourage water conserva on. The two- er structure was replaced with a mul - er, inclining five-block rate structure for residen al customers. This rate structure was adopted to give residen al customers an incen ve to conserve water. As of November 2007 the recommended water rate increases were implemented.

Fiscal Year 2013 Business Plan


With the adop on of the 10-Year Water and Sewer Master Plan, the Water U lity will commission a new water and sewer rate study to determine whether current usage and rate structure will generate sufficient revenues to support the u lity’s ongoing opera ng costs as well as planned repair and rehabilita on.

New Sidewalks at 38th Drive and 85th Avenue Lead Department: Public Works FY 2013 Capital Outlay: $250,000 Community Development Block Grant; $89,000 (City’s por on) FY 2012 Capital Outlay: $200,000 In 2010, the City contracted with a consul ng engineering firm to perform an evalua on of poten al sidewalk construc on in conjunc on with the City’s master bike path comprehensive plan. The goal is to provide pedestrian connec vity to the future downtown, public transporta on, and industrial and commercial districts.

Capital Outlay: $50,000 The goal of this ini a ve is to increase safety to pedestrians walking on Coral Hills Drive. The design for this project will be completed during Fiscal Year 2013 and replacement of the exis ng asphalt path in place from Sample to Wiles Road is planned for the following year. Preliminary cost es mates were provided by an engineering firm on contract with the City. The project calls for construc on of a concrete sidewalk on one side of Coral Hills Drive from Sample to Wiles Road. Work will consist of a 6-foot sidewalk, curb, gu er and drainage as determined during the design phase.

The inspec on iden fied seven areas most in need of new concrete sidewalks. Two of the highest priority areas were iden fied as future pedestrian paths to University Drive and the downtown district. These areas are 38th Drive between University Drive and 85th Avenue from 38th Street to 40th street. Providing walkways along streets leading into the downtown area is consistent with the Community Redevelopment Agency plan to facilitate pedestrian access to downtown, specifically to the Northwest Regional Library and Coral Springs Charter School. There are currently no sidewalks on these roadway segments crea ng conflicts between pedestrians, bicyclists, and automobiles using these roads simultaneously.

Roadway Resurfacing and Alley Improvements

Right Turn Lane at Shadow Wood Boulevard and Riverside Drive

Lead Department: Public Works

Lead Departments: Public Works

Capital Outlay: $906,000

Capital Outlay: $63,700 (Road Impact Fund)

The City’s roadway resurfacing program’s goal is to resurface up to 10 miles of City roads per year. This resurfacing technique has proven to extend the life of the asphalt surface by 18-20 years which is more cost-effec ve than reconstruc ng the en re road bed and surface. Each City road is resurfaced between the 20th and 25th year of useful life, preven ng deteriora on of the road base. Improvements include removing the old street surface and base materials and replacing with more durable materials, followed by grading and installa on of new asphalt.

This project was ini ated as a response to ci zens’ concerns regarding pedestrian safety at this intersec on. Vehicles coming from the westbound direc on are encroaching into a striped non-vehicular access lane to make a right turn (northbound) from Shadow Wood Boulevard onto Riverside Drive. The Traffic Management team evaluated this situa on and recommended the construc on of a right turn lane to alleviate the traffic conges on, especially before and a er school hours. Adding a turn lane at this intersec on will also avoid any future unpermi ed use of the striped area, ensuring pedestrians’ safety.

In Fiscal Year 2013, por ons of the remaining sec ons of the Turtle Run area will be completed, as well as the roads in Butler Farms, Coventry, and Pine Ridge, and Creekside Drive north of Wiles. Other roads scheduled for the future resurfacing include 105th Avenue and Coral Springs Drive, 100th Avenue west of Coral Hills Drive, por ons of Coral Hills Drive and other roads listed in the Road Resurfacing Master Plan. Alleys improvements began in Fiscal Year 2007 with an engineering evalua on of 13 alleys in the City. The report iden fied alleys needing the installa on of a two-foot concrete valley gu er and an overlay of the surface with compacted asphalt. A master plan was created to classify public alley ways into low, medium and high priority categories, depending on the type of repair and improvements iden fied in the study. Since the program began, five alleys have been improved. For Fiscal Year 2013, this ini a ve includes refurbishing alleys on the following loca ons: • West side of University Drive between 14th and 16th Avenues. • East side of University Drive between 16th and 19th Avenues. • The alleyway behind 7500 block of Sample Road, on the west side of Woodside Drive. The remaining alleys listed in the master plan will be scheduled for enhancements in future years.

In past years, physical fitness and computer classes have been offered. A very popular program is the “Window to My World” offered at St. Andrews Towers and the Sartory Senior Center. This event provides seniors the opportunity to tell a story, discuss their past, present, and future plans, and put together a book that will become a keepsake for their children and grandchildren. Due to the success of this event, staff will con nue invi ng Coral Springs residents who are 55 years or older to par cipate in this program in the future. Other senior ac vi es planned for next year include intergenera onal programs and incorporate a new photography class for seniors.

Opera ng Expenses: Exis ng The teen car club, Project CS, has had great success since its incep on in September 2007. It is one of the few car clubs in Broward County geared toward teens, and allows the teens to learn leadership as well as technical skills. The teens meet regularly to restore cars that have been confiscated by the Coral Springs Police Department. Members work on customizing vehicles, relying on funds collected through fundraisers. The members interact not only with automo ve professionals, but with the local business community and restaurants as sponsors. The Car Show was held on Saturday, February 4 at the Sportsplex. Flyers and press releases helped to promote the event; however, the weather kept some cars from entering. Overall, it was a good turnout, food trucks were a success and the event raised approximately $2,000 for the Car Club. The City will be housing the Blazer at the Westside maintenance yard and staff will con nue promo ng the club to recruit more members.

Playground Equipment Replacement Program (2012-2013) Lead Department: Parks and Recrea on Capital Outlay: $130,000 Community Development Block Grant: $51,205 Phase I of this program consisted of crea ng a plan to ensure playground equipment in our parks is scheduled for replacement before the end of its expected useful life. We currently have 33 playgrounds throughout the City in our neighborhood and community parks and the average life expectancy of the equipment is 15 years. In the past, equipment in each park was replaced on an as-needed basis to maintain a safe recrea onal environment and to meet all the Americans with Disabili es Act requirements for playgrounds. All playground equipment and surfaces are inspected regularly by our maintenance sta and a cer fied playground inspector.

34

In Fiscal Year 2012, each playground was evaluated and placed in the replacement cycle by priority with the purpose of replacing first those in cri cal need due to damage from inclement weather or unforeseen condi ons. The first new equipment installed was the playground in Cypress Park, followed by Kiwanis, DeDe Gilmore, Riverside and Fern Glen parks. In Fiscal Year 2013, the scheduled playgrounds to be replaced are Oakwood and North Community parks. In addi on, grant funds have been allocated by CDBG to replace the playground equipment at Poinciana Park. The remaining playgrounds have been included in the Capital Improvement Program for replacement in future years.

Cambridge Advanced Program at Coral Springs Charter School (2012-2013) Lead Departments: City Manager’s Office, Coral Springs Charter School Opera ng Expenses: Exis ng Coral Springs Charter School ini ated the Cambridge Advanced Program of Studies (CAPS) for students in grades 7 through 9 during the 2011-12 school year. The program’s first year a racted 383 students with 99% desiring to stay in the program throughout their high school career. The program’s focus began with language arts and science and will expand during the 2012-13 school term to include high school CAPS op ons such as General Paper, Thinking Skills, Sociology, Environmental Science, high level mathema cs, Spanish, Psychology and Marine Science.

The Cambridge program is an interna onally recognized, pre-university curriculum which offers a rigorous program of studies. CAPS is sponsored by Cambridge University in England and is currently offered at only a handful of schools in Broward County. The program emphasizes the value of broad and balanced study for academically able students. Its strengths lie in the flexibility and structure of the curriculum encouraging in-depth, working knowledge of each subject, and in essay-based examina ons as assessment of that knowledge and skill mastery. These examina on papers are sent to Cambridge for marking. Students who complete the program will have a special designa on on their diploma and be able to earn college credit based on their examina on scores. All public colleges and universi es in Florida accept Cambridge credits.

Broward College Campus in Coral Springs (2011-2013) Lead Department: City Manager’s Office Partners: Economic Development Agency, Community Redevelopment Agency Opera ng Expenses: Exis ng The University and College Partnership was established in 2005. Enrollment has climbed rapidly over the last two years with a majority of the students enrolled in Broward College, one of the three universi es in the partnership. Due to this impressive performance, the City, in conjunc on with the Economic Development Founda on, established an alliance dedicated to increasing the presence of Broward College in Coral Springs. The ul mate goal of having a permanent presence for the college somewhere within our Community Redevelopment Area and downtown was made a reality during Fiscal Year 2011. In January 2011, Broward College signed a lease for approximately 19,000 square feet in the Village Square Shopping Center located at the northwest corner of Sample and University. The tenant improvement renova ons for retrofi ng 10 classrooms and administra ve offices will be completed by end of July 2012. Broward College is currently registering students at Coral Springs Center campus for the Fall 2012 session beginning in October. Course offerings include

Fiscal Year 2013 Business Plan


Financial Strateg y Overview Although business managers, investors, and consumers are frustrated with the slowness of the economic turnaround, it is worth no ng that the forces that brought about the Great Recession were different than those of previous recessions, the depths of the recession were deeper, and the forces that brought about this recession have changed the economic landscape for the foreseeable future. In fact, the depths of the recession were so deep it will be a long way back. Therefore, it is not reasonable to expect this recovery to mirror those of the past. Since we cannot expect the economic landscape to return to normal quickly, we must expect and plan for the long haul. We must temper our desire to put the recession behind us with the realism that the City’s long-term financial health is a key ingredient in maintaining Coral Springs as the na on’s premier community in which to live, work, and raise a family. The City, therefore, will take a leadership role in crea ng its future by inves ng in our community. In partnership with several business development organiza ons and our other stakeholders, the City will proac vely prime the engine of economic growth by assis ng exis ng and poten al businesses, and will devote resources to educa on, public safety, and aesthe cs. While our economic future is likely to be different than our past, we have relied on our business model to prepare for the worst and must rely on it moving forward. This financial strategy allows the City to succeed in the short term yet makes structural changes to ensure long-term success. Moreover, this strategy will allow the City to con nue to provide the same quality of services our customers have come to expect by maintaining our current workforce and capital improvement program, and preserve our community’s quality of life.

City of Coral Springs, Florida

Other noteworthy components of this financial strategy: • Increase the millage rate from $4.3939 to $4.5697which will be considered a 5.6% increase over the Rolled-Back Rate ($4.3260). • Decrease the voter-approved debt service millage rate from $0.2915 to $0.2906 for a savings of $0.16 per typical single-family home. • In accordance with the 2007 Water and Wastewater Rate Study, increase water and sewer rates 3%, which is equivalent to $1.82 per month for the typical family. • Increase the Fire Special Assessment Fee $9.33, or 7.2%, for single-family homes. • Decrease the residen al Solid Waste Special Assessment by 3%, or $6.48, per single-family household. • No increase in user fees.

Inves ng in the Future of Our Community During the depths of the recession, the City adopted a three-pronged financial strategy. While this was an appropriate strategy for the me, the City rolled out a new financial strategy in Fiscal Year 2012 to place it in the most advantageous posi on to embrace the economic recovery. The City will build on that financial strategy in Fiscal Year 2013. As discussed in Market Environment, although the recession has officially ended, the return to pre-recession economic growth rates is not on the horizon. Since the fuel that powered the City’s economic engine (popula on growth and new construc on) will not return to previous levels quickly, if at all, we must expect and plan for a new normal. In this new era, therefore, it will take strong, visionary leadership to ensure Coral Springs can compete in this new environment.

The City Commission has set the stage for this vision by incorpora ng language in the 2012-2013 Strategic Plan direc ng the City to take a leadership role in crea ng its future by inves ng in our community. In partnership with the Economic Development Founda on, Community Redevelopment Agency, the Chamber of Commerce, and other stakeholders, the City will proac vely prime the engine of economic growth by assis ng our exis ng business community by devo ng resources to encourage the redevelopment of the City’s commercial areas such as the Corporate Park. In addi on, the City will work to a ract businesses and increase property values by inves ng in the appearance and the safety of our community.

Long-Term Financial Management

Revenue Outlook

The original plan contemplated using as much as $6 million from the Stabiliza on Reserve (formerly known as the Financial Policy Reserve) beginning in Fiscal Year 2012. The City’s financial policy is to maintain the Stabiliza on Reserve at 17% of General Fund budgeted expenditures to provide 60 days of working capital in the event of an emergency. The use of $6 million contemplated in the original strategy would have le the Stabiliza on Reserve with less than 10% of budgeted expenditures available for emergencies. Primarily due to aggressively managing expenses and diversifying revenues, the City has been able to maintain its Stabiliza on Reserve at 17%. It appears as though we will not need to use that restricted reserve in Fiscal Year 2013 either. In fact, the modified plan called for the use of $3 million in undesignated reserves in Fiscal Year 2013 and $1.9 million of undesignated reserves in Fiscal Year 2014.

The City’s intergovernmental, franchise, and other demand-driven revenues fluctuate with the economy. As the City has learned over the past few years, a slumping economy leads to lower retail sales, which in turn, translate to lower sales tax revenue. Less traveling leads to lower fuel tax revenue. Declining economic growth leads to less construc on, less renova on, fewer home improvements, and thus declining revenue. Posi ve economic growth, on the other hand, promises to reverse this trend. Most economists are expec ng the economy to grow at a modest rate during the coming year. However, rather than growth returning to normal levels quickly, the economy is expected to move slowly but steadily upward. We have, therefore, adopted a moderate growth philosophy for Fiscal Year 2013 revenue es mates. To hedge against being too op mis c, we have adopted a con ngency that is higher than we otherwise would simply to counterbalance this risk.

Original Strategy

Management of Reserves In Fiscal Year 2010 the City adopted a threepronged financial strategy which included the use of reserves to bridge the gap between opera ng expenditures and demand-driven revenue receipts. The original plan called for the use of $15.5 million in reserves between Fiscal Year 2010 and Fiscal Year 2013. Unfortunately, it has taken much longer than an cipated for the economy to recover. Therefore, the original plan was modified to use $17.3 million in reserves between Fiscal Year 2010 and 2014.

As shown in the chart, we now believe we can balance the Fiscal Year 2013 budget using just $1.75 million from undesignated reserve and will not need to use any undesignated reserves to balance the Fiscal Year 2014 budget. While the City will ul mately use $1.8 million more in total reserve than originally contemplated, most of those addi onal monies were the result of a larger contribu on from the Forfeiture Fund than originally planned. State and federal law strictly defines the limited use of police forfeiture funds. One defined legal use is the funding of School Resource Officers (SROs). Early in the Fiscal Year 2012 budget process the City had planned to use $750,000 in forfeiture funds for SRO salaries, which would have been a decrease from the $1.25 million used in the current fiscal year. However, given the con nued

Fiscal Year 2013 Business Plan


lackluster nature of the recovery and knowing the reliable nature of this funding source, the City used $1.5 million in forfeiture funds instead of the originally planned $750,000 in Fiscal Year 2012 for costs associated with the SRO program. Likewise, the City had planned to use $750,000 from the Forfeiture Fund in Fiscal Year 2013 for SRO salaries but increased that to $900,000 due to the con nued lackluster performance of many of its revenues. The City will also con nue to maintain restricted reserves necessary to finish our capital projects, or maintain reserves for encumbrances or those necessary to meet bond covenants. In addi on, we will keep enough cash in the Equipment Replacement Fund and the Computer Replacement Reserve to ensure we can replace our vehicles and technology when necessary, thereby avoiding the issuance of addi onal debt. Economic Development A key component to building a stronger, more vibrant future for the City of Coral Springs is the expansion of our commercial tax base. Roughly one-third of the City’s revenue comes from property taxes which are determined by the assessed value of real property within the City limits. Increasing assessed values is vital to increasing revenue. For example, Coral Springs had an addi onal $6.3 million in new taxable value in Fiscal Year 2013. At the current millage rate of $4.3939, this will generate more than $27,000 in addi onal property tax revenue. Some of our neighbors, however, have added much more to their tax base. For example, Coconut Creek increased its taxable values by $35 million, Sunrise by $32 million, Pembroke Pines by $31 million, and Davie by $24 million. Even Margate ($8 million), which is a much smaller city, added more to its tax base than Coral Springs. Clearly, Coral Springs can do be er. As outlined in the Market Environment, the City has many efforts underway focused on improving new commercial development and redevelopment including the branding study and the downtown infrastructure improvements. The City will partner with the Economic Development Founda on (EDF) to develop an Economic Development Strategic Plan to guide these development efforts. This shared vision will establish the framework for the direc on and type of development/redevelopment we desire in the City. Ul mately, this investment will yield dividends in terms of enhanced property tax revenue.

City of Coral Springs, Florida

The Economic Development Strategic Plan dovetails nicely with the City’s Strategic Plan which has iden fied economic development as a strategic priority. The Strategic Plan asserts encouraging redevelopment in the downtown area, Corporate Park, and other commercial areas are the means to the City’s long-term viability.

Solid Waste Coral Springs is one of 26 partner ci es that formed the Broward County Solid Waste Disposal District in 1986. The District and its governing board, the Resource Recovery Board (RRB), was established to oversee the construc on, opera on, and maintenance of a system for the disposal of solid waste generated within the district. The Interlocal Agreement (ILA) that formed the Broward County Solid Waste Disposal District will expire on July 3, 2013. The District, therefore, will be dissolved on that date. Member ci es will be open to nego ate waste disposal service contracts as they see fit. In fact, Coral Springs’ waste hauling contract will expire at the end of calendar year 2013. The RRB is currently nego a ng with the county on the disposi on of the district’s assets. These assets are of two types. First, the RRB maintains a debt reserve as a guarantee on the wasteto-energy plant bonds. With the re rement of those two bonds it is no longer necessary to maintain that reserve. The RRB has decided to distribute $20 million of that reserve to member ci es to encourage single stream recycling. Coral Springs received $1,714,861 of this distribu on to purchase single steam containers for its residents as well as to fund other related programs. The RRB is likely to consider making a recommenda on to the County Commission for a por on of the remaining $40 million debt reserve be distributed to member ci es in propor on to the amount of waste contributed by each city. Coral Springs, for example, would account for approximately 9% of the total. Coral Springs plans to deposit most, if not all, of its share into the General Fund reserve. As of this prin ng, it is uncertain whether the County will release any por on of the debt reserve. The second type of asset which the District must dispose are it’s physical assets such as vehicles and land. There is uncertainty as to the method by which the value of these assets will be

43


distributed to the partner ci es, if at all, but the process will likely require nego a on between the County and Ci es. Solid Waste Tipping Fee With the 2012 re rement of the construc on bond that was used to build the Wheelabrator South Plant and the 2013 re rement of the construc on bond used to build the Wheelabrator North Plant, pping fees have decreased substan ally during the past two years. Tipping fees are simply the rate charged to dump one ton of garbage at the waste disposal site. Tipping fees dropped 27% from $99.20 per ton in Fiscal Year 2011 to $72.57 per ton in Fiscal Year 2012 as a result of re ring the first bond. As a result, the City was able to increase its solid waste franchise fee while s ll saving residents $16.56 on its Solid Waste Special Assessment. Commercial customers saved $0.89 per cubic yard. With the re rement of the second bond in 2013, pping fees will drop to $67.93. However, this pping fee will only be in force during the term of the ILA which is un l July 3, 2013. Broward County and Wheelabrator have agreed on a $42 pping fee a er July 3. Since residents pay a Solid Waste Special Assessment once a year, the City has developed a blended pping fee that takes into account the amount of me the customer will be paying the different pping fees. As a result, the residen al Solid Waste Special Assessment fee will decrease from $233.64 to $227.16 per dwelling unit in FY 2013. Commercial customers will also benefit from a reduc on in pping fees. However, since commercial customers pay as they use the service, the price will change as the pping fee changes. In other words, the price per yard will decrease from $13.05 to $12.98 for the period October 1, 2012 through July 3, 2013 and fall to $12.87 per cubic yard a er July 3, 2013. Solid waste frachise fees will increase from $51.60 to $66 per year for residen al customers. For commercial customers the franchise fee will increase from $2.25 per cubic yard to $2.29 from October 1, 2012 to July 3, 2013 and $3.61 from July 4 2013 through September 30, 2013. The addi onal revenue resul ng from adjus ng these franchise fees allows the City to close the budget gap – without raising taxes – while allowing our customers to share the benefit of reduced pping fees.

Single Stream Recycling As men oned previously, the RRB has given the City a $1.7 million grant to purchase single steam containers and fund other related programs. These new containers will be distributed during the winter of 2014. Single stream recycling will help the City reach its goal of recycling 75% of its solid waste stream by 2020. The new recycling containers will be 64-gallon size which is larger than the recycling containers currently in use. Larger containers have the poten al to increase the tonnage of recycled materials cead to higher revenue from the sale of recycled materials. Ul mately, the return on recycled materials is market driven. The City is expec ng recycled material revenue to increase by 7% in Fiscal Year 2013.

Fiscal Year 2013 Capital Improvement Program The Capital Improvement Program (CIP) is a long-range plan for the mely replacement and maintenance of the City’s equipment and facili es. Financing op ons for recommended capital needs are examined to determine the best source for each poten al project including: opera ng fund balances, capital reserves, grant revenue available for capital projects, outstanding debt, and ra ng agency criteria for borrowing. Because capital requests and needs exceed available financing this year, they must to be priori zed. Decisions must be made about which requests to approve and fund in the upcoming year’s capital budget and which to schedule for future considera on and inclusion in the CIP. To do so, the Senior Management Team conducted an exercise that involved reviewing all capital requests with the focus on iden fying projects that are cri cal for the City to implement or con nue in Fiscal Year 2013. Projects were ranked by priority according to specific criteria. The highest priority projects are being proposed for funding in the capital budget. Those are projects that sa sfy a regulatory requirement, are ed to a new ini a ve to maintain or improve standards of service, contribute to enhancing aesthe c value or achieving the City’s strategic goals and objec ves, and maintenance programs to protect the City’s infrastructure.

Fiscal Year 2013 Business Plan


As a result of this evalua on, the adopted capital expenditure for Fiscal Year 2013 is programmed at $23,841,975, of which $11.1 million is being recommended for funding capital projects in the General Fund departments, $7.9 million for improvements to the City’s water and wastewater infrastructure, $3.2 million for replacement of City vehicles that otherwise would be more costly to maintain, and for repairs and preven ve maintenance of 25 vehicles with the purpose of extending their useful life. This annual strategy of priori zing the complete fleet inventory and inves ng in preven ve maintenance has saved the City addi onal replacement cost.

Water and Sewer

treatment costs has the greatest poten al for reducing overall costs.

Based on the recommenda ons from the Fiscal Year 2007 Water and Sewer Rate Study, the City replaced its exis ng two- er rate structure with a mul - er, declining five-block rate structure for residen al customers designed to encourage conserva on. The City will commission a new water and sewer rate study to determine whether the current rate structure will con nue to generate sufficient revenue to support the u lity while also encouraging conserva on. Wastewater Treatment Cost Although the City has been successful in controlling most opera onal costs in its U lity, wastewater treatment costs con nue to rise. Wastewater is sent to Broward County for treatment. Wastewater originates in homes and business but also includes rainwater that seeps into cracked and broken clay sewer pipes. In high rainfall years, the volume of wastewater sent for treatment can approach 10% more water than potable water sold to customers due to ground water seepage. In other words, the City is paying to treat rainwater which does not need treatment. As shown in the “Wastewater Treatment Cost” chart, while the number of gallons sent for treatment has remained fairly constant over the last 10 years, the cost to treat that flow has more than doubled from about $1 per 1,000 gallons treated in year 2000 to $1.80 projected by the end of 2012. The City will budget $6.4 million in FY 2013 just for the treatment of wastewater which represents 28.3% of the total water and sewer budget. Clearly, reducing wastewater

This Business Plan incorporates a strategy for controlling expenses by reducing the amount of wastewater sent to the county for treatment. The City intends to reduce wastewater flows by inves ng in Inflow and Infiltra on (I&I) correc on technology. The I&I program sends a remote-controlled camera into the sewer pipes. Technicians are able to use this live feed to iden fy cracks, leaks, and root intrusion. Once located, defec ve areas are repaired remotely via inflatable sleeves. This technology is much cheaper than tradi onal detec on and repair methods because it is done without digging. The City’s I&I program started in 2008 but progress has been slow due to resource limita ons. In Fiscal Year 2012, the City will use approximately $1.5 million in low-interest loans from the Florida Department of Environmental Protec on wastewater program to jump start its I&I program. In Fiscal Year 2013 the U lity will invest another $1 million toward elimina ng inflow and infiltra on thereby further reducing wastewater treatment costs. The County has no fied ci es of a proposed amendment to the schedule of charges for debt service for treatment, transmission, and disposal services. Coral Springs’ share of the new debt obliga ons will be $366,000 per year. To cover this, and other, cost increases the City will increase water and sewer rates by 3% effec ve October 1, 2012. This rate adjustment will result in a $1.82 monthly increase for the average residence. Funding Infrastructure Improvements The City’s water and sewer infrastructure requires ongoing repair and maintenance to ensure the safe, efficient opera on of the u lity. To meet these capital requirements, the City has taken out $19 million in low-interest loans from the Florida Department of Environmental Protec on’s Drinking Water and Clean Water State Revolving Fund programs between 2008 and 2012. Beginning in FY 2013, the annual debt service on these SRF loans will total just over $1 million.

These changes are expected to reduce the City’s contribu on from $13 million in Fiscal Year 2012 to $9.2 million in Fiscal Year 2013 using the Frozen Ini al Liability (FIL) methodology. In Fiscal Year 2012, the Police Pension Board approved a shi to the Entry Age Normal (EAN) methodology. Using EAN, the City’s contribu on will decrease from $10.4 million in Fiscal Year 2012 to $8.7 million in Fiscal Year 2013. This plan is expected to save $7.7 million in the first five years and 19 million over the first ten years using the EAN methodology. The City an cipates it could lose its $893,477 annual contribu on from the State Chapter 185 due to the reduc on of benefits below 1999 levels. The City and FOP have agreed that should the City become eligible to receive 185 due to legisla ve reform, these monies will be deposited directly in the Police Officers’ Pension Plan, without the need to impact bargaining. Toward that end, staff will con nue to work with the Florida League of Ci es, the Broward League of Ci es, and with other interested par es to advocate for legisla on that will provide the needed flexibility for ci es to provide compe ve benefits to their employees while retaining state funding.

General Employee Re rement Plans The City has two different re rement plans for its general employees. First, the General Employees’ Re rement Plan is a closed plan. No new par cipants have been allowed to enter the plan since January 1, 1988. This is a defined benefit plan with 51 re rees or beneficiaries currently drawing or eligible to draw benefits. The Plan enjoys a 69% funded ra o. Its ARC has been roughly $500,000 per year and is unlikely to deviate appreciably from that figure in the future. Second, the City provides a defined contribu on plan for general employees not covered under the plan discussed above. This plan offers a general employee and a management op on. Under the general employee op on, the City contributes 7% of each par cipant’s salary with the par cipant having the op on of contribu ng 6%, 8%, or 10% of earnings. Under the management plan, the City contributes 11% of each par cipant’s salary with the par cipant having the op on of contribu ng 0%, 5%, or 10% of earnings. Since the incep on of the plan, the City has made and will con nue to contribute 100% of its annual obliga on.

Firefighter Pension As a rela vely new pension plan, the Firefighter Pension Plan was not as severely impacted as the Police Pension Plan. For example, while approximately 7.9% of the Police Officers’ Pension Plan ARC is the result of investment losses, it is just 1.17% in the Firefighters’ Plan. The ARC for the Firefighters’ Plan increased from $2.89 million in Fiscal Year 2009 to $3.23 million in Fiscal Year 2011. This increase was primarily the result of adding a new benefit - 1% annual COLA to begin 5 years a er re rement. This plan has an 80% funded ra o as compared to a 58% funded ra o for the Police Officers Plan.

Fiscal Year 2013 Business Plan


Fire Fund As municipali es reduce the number of firefighters they hire, the number of cadets entering the Fire Academy falls, which, in turn, leads to decreased Fire Academy tui on revenue. Overall, tui on revenue dropped 42% from a high of $1.38 million in Fiscal Year 2008 to a year-end projec on of $800,000 in Fiscal Year 2012. Tradi onally, this revenue was used to offset the cost of providing fire services. As this revenue declines, however, increased fire assessment fees charged to users of the service must make up the difference. To counteract this decline, the Fire Department and the Communica ons and Marke ng Department will join forces to develop an adver sing campaign to promote the academy’s services to men and women interested in pursuing a career in the fire service.

Coral Springs has one of the lowest fire assessment Fees for a single-family home in the area, even with an increase of $9.33 or 7.2%. The City pays the fire assessment fee on behalf of schools and houses of worship that are exempt from this assessment. This subsidy represents a $959,675 cost to the General Fund in Fiscal Year 2013. Since this is one of the categories of users which has experienced a growing number of calls for service over the past four years, the subsidy paid by the City’s General Fund will increase by 4% in Fiscal Year 2013. With the comple on of Fire Sta on 71, three of the City’s five fire sta ons have been renovated or completely rebuilt to make them suitable for a full- me, professional department rather than a volunteer force. The City will begin planning for the renova on of the remaining two sta ons. In Fiscal Year 2012, a FEMA Assistance to Firefighters Grant (AFG) was awarded to the City for the purchase of health and safety equipment for the Fire Department, as detailed below. In addi on, the City received two EMS matching grants from the Florida Department of Health for the purchase of video laryngoscopes and chest compression devices. An applica on was also submi ed under FEMA’s Staffing for Adequate Fire & Emergency Response (SAFER) grant program to fund the addi on of four new firefighters. The City will con nue to aggressively pursue grant opportuni es to supplement the cost of necessary capital improvement projects for the Fire Department.

Measuring Results Quarterly Performance Review Overview The City has developed a performance measurement and management system to align department services and programs with the City Commission’s seven strategic priori es. The system enables departments to systema cally measure results and make mely adjustments when results fall short of expected performance levels. Three components make up the system: a quarterly performance repor ng program, a composite index that measures the overall financial and service opera on posi on, and the State of the City report. These elements play an important part in the City’s overall Business Plan and help keep the organiza on on target. Departmental Measures A total of 108 performance measures have been established to measure results achieved through services and programs provided by the City’s 12 opera ng and support departments. Four of the performance measures double as Key Intended Outcomes (KIOs) and are discussed in the KIO Analysis. Sixty (55%) of the measures met their goals for Fiscal Year 2012, and ten more (9%) were within 95% of their goal. Ten goals are not being reported this year, as they are dependent upon results of the Resident Survey which was not conducted this year. Informa on on six more goals was not available due to changes in repor ng methods or so ware. Twenty-two goals, or 20% were not achieved. Half of these goals will be discon nued beginning Fiscal Year 2013 and most have been replaced with different measures that are more relevant to current departmental opera ons. Some of the remaining unmet goals have been revised to more realis c levels based upon the current economy.

City of Coral Springs, Florida

Key Intended Outcome Analysis and Current Ini a ve Update Twenty-six Key Intended Outcomes (KIOs) have been established, all of which support at least one of the seven strategic priori es. Performance goals for each KIO were developed as part of the City Commission’s Fiscal Years 2012-2013 Strategic Plan. As of the end of Fiscal Year 2012, ten of those goals have been met, and seven are not being reported this year since they are based on results of the resident survey that was not conducted this year. Informa on for the employee sa sfac on goal is not yet available due to the ming of the employee survey. Informa on for the goal regarding test scores for Coral Springs Charter School is not available due to a change in the tests administered by the Florida Department of Educa on; as a result, this goal has been revised for Fiscal Year 2013. Seven goals for the year have not been achieved. The business survey ra ng of the City’s communica on with businesses was 81% compared to the goal of 88%. In the coming year, the City will be improving its methods of communica ng with local businesses to be er conform with those used by the businesses. The City’s crime rate for calendar year 2011 was higher than goal. The increase was par ally due to a decrease in popula on, and par ally due to an increase in burglaries. The newly-formed BEAR unit will address this problem. The level of volunteer ac vity con nues to be in a trough, which has affected two KIOs. Both the total number of volunteer hours and the number of teen volunteer hours were 92% of their goal levels. Both goals have been revised downward for Fiscal Year 2013.

The number of youths in City-sponsored leadership opportuni es did not meet its goal of 2,000 students. Increased par cipa on in the youth mentoring program was not enough to offset the decline in youth par cipa on in the Mar n Luther King ac vi es, which is the single largest youth leadership program sponsored by the City. The number of trees planted is likely to fall short of the goal of 1,750 due to the lower level of development and redevelopment ac vity in the City. Goals for both these KIOs have also been revised for Fiscal Year 2013. The number of students a ending higher-educa on courses at partner ins tu ons did not meet its goal as a result of the delays in the opening of the Broward College campus in Coral Springs

Business Survey Results

• Code enforcement – 18%

In the spring of 2012, ETC Ins tute administered a phone survey to a random sample of 401 businesses in the City of Coral Springs. The purpose of the survey was to gather feedback from business owners and senior managers to help iden fy ways to improve the quality of City services to those businesses. A survey of business owners was last performed in 2008.

Survey recommenda ons include: con nuing to give high priority to public safety and enhancing the overall image of the City, finding ways to improve the code enforcement process for businesses, and improving awareness in the business community about the types of services available to them through the City’s web site.

Overall, results of the survey were posi ve. Businesses are sa sfied with City services and perceive the City as being friendly to business. Ninety-five percent of the businesses surveyed felt the quality of City services was higher

Charter Schools U.S.A. manages and staffs the City’s charter middle and high school. Advanced Cable Communica ons provides the infrastructure for television programming. Median mowing is accomplished through a group of contractors. Service standards are part of the contracts with these organiza ons; the standards spell out customer requirements and are discussed through periodic regularly scheduled mee ngs. For instance, Public Works management meets quarterly with Waste Management to review performance data and exchange informa on and ideas on opera ons. City management meets quarterly with the principals of schools in the City to assess our partnership with them regarding athle c field use, a er school programs, leadership development, etc.

Fiscal Year 2013 Business Plan


Sustainability Index

improvements and number of trees planted. Fiscal Year 2012 results show a decline, primarily due to fuel and paper consump on. Paper consump on is lower than in FY 2011, but is s ll well above the base level. Fuel consump on has increased steadily since 2009. Part of this increase for both 2011 and 2012 can be a ributed to Community Pride and Code Ranger ini a ves. Several addi onal vehicles were purchased in FY 2012, which accounts for another por on of the fuel increase. On a posi ve note, replacement of older air condi oning systems with those that are more energy-efficient has allowed us to achieve an encouraging reduc on in electricity use.

In Fiscal Year 2009, the City created a Sustainability Index to track a broad spectrum of green and sustainability benchmarks. This tool lines up with our Neighborhood and Environmental Sustainability strategic priority. During Fiscal Year 2011, the index was refined by assigning weights to index items according to their rela ve importance. The indicators of fuel use, electricity use, and paper consump on carry the greatest weights because they impact not only our environment, but directly affect City expenditures as well. A total index value of over 100 indicates progress in improving the environmental sustainability of City programs and opera ons.

For Fiscal Year 2013, an ini a ve to increase the number of cer fied backyard habitats should provide some improvement to the index total. Stronger efforts to reduce fuel and paper consump on are needed, and base (target) levels for those items will be evaluated to determine if they need adjustment.

Since the index is fairly new, the Fiscal Year 2011 results offered us the first opportunity to evaluate our overall performance. Results for 2011 were buoyed by strong performance of two index items: linear feet of sidewalk

Residen al taxable assessed property values decreased dras cally in Fiscal Years 2010 and 2011. The decrease is due to property tax legisla on passed in January 2008 and is indica ve of the na onal recession which began in 2008. Values remained steady for Fiscal Year 2012 and are expected to increase slightly for Fiscal Year 2013.

The decrease in residen al property values (see chart above) caused the increase in nonresiden al as a percentage of total value. Nonresiden al includes commercial/industrial sites, as well as agricultural, ins tu onal, government and miscellaneous real estate.

The incidents of major crimes per 100,000 popula on increased. This is due to a 4% rise Source: in the number of indexed crimes (3,271 from City of Coral Springs Police Department and 3,145) coupled with a lower popula on number. Florida Department of The 2010 Census for Coral Springs was 4% less Law Enforcement than prior es mates by BEBR. The new burglary Crime Report reduc on unit is intended to prevent crimes.

The rise in the crime rate from FY 2009 to FY 2010 was the result of a mathema cal anomaly. While the number of crimes decreased during this period, the popula on upon which the ra o is based decreased at a faster rate.

Some of the ac vi es offered by the Parks and Recrea on Department are basketball, soccer, football, baseball, roller hockey, lacrosse, and cheerleading. Independent teams and programs, though not counted in this measure, also u lize City facili es. The decline in FY 2011 was due primarily to the number of par cipants moving from recrea onal leagues to more compe ve travel leagues, whose par cipants are not included in this measure.

Preliminary research and data has been collected by City staff and the engineering consultant on the impact of fats, oils and grease on the wastewater collec on system. A mee ng with the other u lity districts was held in Q2 to assess the impact of FOG on their wastewater collec on systems. We have determined the annual added costs to the u li es to deal with FOG to be about $55,000 for the City of Coral Springs Public U lity, approximately $5,000 for CSID. No addi onal costs have been segregated due to FOG for NSID and Royal U li es. A dra of the FOG Study has been reviewed and discussed with Eckler Engineering. There is insufficient data to warrant a Code change to mandate the inspec on and cleaning of grease traps. A mee ng with the other U lity Districts is planned to request careful tracking of expenses associated with FOG, and then revisit the need for an ordinance in one year. In the interim, City and Districts will focus on educa on. During FY 2012 pressure cleaning was completed for the medians, sidewalks and gu ers on various roadways and at City facili es. Landscape architects were hired in January and began designing the Royal Palm entranceway, Maplewood Estate linear park upgrade and landscaping for transformers on University Dr. & Cardinal Road. Renova ons to 11 parks throughout the City were made. New landscaping was installed at 4 parks and at City Hall and other facili es. The contractor was hired for the new buildings at Mullins Park. To date 12 proper es have been purchased. Two of the proper es purchased have completed the home repair por on; ten have transi oned to home repair and are under construc on. A public no ce was done on Sunday, September 23, 2012 to adver se for the 3 low-income spots remaining. During Q1, the Code Division sent out over 800 le ers requiring landlords of 2 units or more to register their proper es with the City. This registra on program lets the City obtain a more current database of ownership and management of rental proper es. A total of 865 applica ons were received this fiscal year. Code will be stepping up enforcement on the registra ons program. A Landlord/ Tenant Workshop was held in April with Code Enforcement, Police and Community Development. About 100 landlords learned about the registra on program, fair housing and the nuisance abatement program. The 7-member Nuisance Abatement Board was appointed at the October 4, 2011, Commission mee ng, and the group met once in December 2011 for organiza onal purposes. The board will implement the Nuisance Abatement ordinance that was approved by the Commission on July 5, 2011. The Board last met June 26, and will meet as needed to take ac on on nuisance proper es. The landscape architect has been hired and has completed the conceptual design. As of Q3, the landscape plans have been completed and they were sent to FP&L for their approval. Staff has contacted their representa ve several mes, but s ll have not received an approval to move forward with the landscaping. If approved the next step will be to enter into an agreement with WCI to allow us to plant on their property around the transformers on University Dr. between Wiles Rd. and Sample Road. Landscaping cannot be within 3 . of the transformer on 3 sides and 8 . on the 4th side, which will prevent us from landscaping some sides of specific transformers.

A public mee ng to present the project to the neighborhood took place in Q2. The City has contracted with an engineering consultant to document exis ng bike path lanes on state and county roadways and determine the feasibility of adding bike lanes to City roads within the paved right-of-way limits. Botek Thurlow Engineering’s (BTE) field reviews indicate that 12 of the 22 roadway links reviewed seem to have poten al to incorporate bicycle facili es (designated bike lanes and wide outside lanes). The study will determine whether onroad bicycle facili es can be accommodated on exis ng roadways through various strategies, typical sec ons for each segment, and likely bo leneck conflict points and alterna ves. The preliminary recommenda ons for providing designated bike lanes and wide curb lanes were presented to the Traffic Management Team at their August mee ng. During Q4, staff and the consultant met with Broward County MPO for addi onal recommenda ons; presented proposed study network; discussed methodology and strategies for incorpora ng bicycle facili es; reviewed Long Range Transporta on Plan (LRTP); examined poten al to incorporate bike facili es within the city by others (example – Wiles Road from Rock Island to 441 by the County); examined poten al to connect (via this study) to exis ng/future bicycle facili es. Next phase of the study includes ranking the top ten road sec ons in the inventory and assigning costs for the bike lane projects. Report should be in final dra by end of calendar year 2012. Complete Seven cameras are ac ve at 5 intersec ons, most of them along University Drive. In the months since the cameras have been ac ve, accidents at those intersec ons have dropped.
