NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, FLORIDA, that this Board approves extending the sunset provision for Implementing Order (IO) 3-47 to January 31, 2018; the IO details the administrative process relating to the allocation of surplus and other funds from Building Better Communities General Obligation Bond Program and authorizes the Mayor or Mayor�s designee to exercise any and all rights conferred therein.

Date:

To: Honorable Chairman Joe A. Martinez
and Members, Board of County Commissioners

From: Carlos A. Gimenez
Mayor

Subject: Building Better Communities General Obligation Bond Program - Extension of Implementing Order 3-47 Relating to the Use of Surplus Funds, Premium Funds and Unspent Bond Proceeds

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation
It is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners (Board) adopt the attached resolution extending the sunset date for Implementing Order (IO) 3-47 relating to the use of Building Better Communities General Obligation Bond (BBC-GOB) Program Surplus Funds, Premium Funds and Unspent Bond Proceeds (collectively known as �BBC-GOB Funds�) through January 31, 2018.

Scope
This item impacts all Commission districts since BBC-GOB projects are located throughout the County.

Fiscal Impact/Funding Source
There is no fiscal impact from the implementation of this recommendation. The funding source for affected projects is BBC-GOB Funds.

Track Record/Monitor
The responsible party for monitoring BBC-GOB funds is the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).

Delegation of Authority
There is no additional delegation of authority related to this item.

MANAGER'S BACKGROUND
Background
The BBC-GOB program is a $2.9 billion, multi-year capital improvement program funded by the periodic issuance of general obligation bonds. BBC-GOB surplus and premium funds may be generated as part of the program and may become available at any given time. It is important to have guidelines in place to administer these funds.

On March 17, 2009, through Resolution R-290-09, the Board approved IO 3-47 relating to the administrative process for the use of surplus funds, premium funds and unspent bond proceeds. On January 21, 2010, through Resolution R-49-10, the Board approved an extension to the sunset date for the IO to January 30, 2012.

A primary responsibility of administering the program is to apply bond proceeds to projects that are ready to move forward. The underlying premise of the IO is that BBC-GOB Surplus Funds, Premium Funds and Unspent Bond Proceeds will be used primarily to fund budget shortfall in projects, subject to Board approval, and to accelerate projects, through the process described in the IO. The status of Surplus and Premium Funds will continue to be detailed in the BBC-GOB Quarterly reports to the Board.

The process delineated in the IO and approved by the Board has been working effectively in keeping the program moving forward. We recommend the IO be extended through January 31, 2018 to assure the program�s continued success.
