Sunny Isles Beach adopts budget amendment reallocating funds for parks and land work

The City Commission of Sunny Isles Beach unanimously adopted a second-reading ordinance to amend the city's operating and capital improvement budgets for fiscal year 2023–24.

City Manager Samuelsinger said the amendment reallocates assigned fund balance to expenditures for the parks and recreation master plan, moves funds previously budgeted for Heritage Park playground equipment into consulting, and reallocates land-acquisition funds toward demolition, survey and mapping related to the purchase of 18125 Atlantic. "This is the second reading of our budget amendment ordinance," Samuelsinger said.

There were no public speakers on the item and no additional commissioner comments. A roll-call vote was taken; the ordinance passed on second reading.

The amendment affects the general fund, American Rescue Plan funds, capital projects and stormwater capital funds. The commission charged the city manager with implementing the ordinance and authorized any necessary actions.

The meeting continued with lease and ordinance items.
