John SzerIag, City Mana <br /> <br />DATE: May 18,2006 <br /> <br />RE: Financial Consultant Agreement with Mr. Douglas Haag <br /> <br />The City of Sunny Isles Beach has an excellent Finance and IT staff. However, we could use some <br />assistance enhancing our fmancialfIT procedures, especially in the following areas: <br /> <br />· Development of Fiscal Year 2006/07 Budget Document. This will include preparing budget <br />calendar as well as input from the City Commission related to goals and objectives; preparation <br />of budget worksheet utilizing New World Systems software; calibrating revenue forecasts and <br />assist with fmalizing capital project forecasts. <br />· Interface of IT/Financial functions for greater efficiency and effectiveness. This includes <br />utilization of NWS software; automate interface of paycheck to general ledger; maximize <br />efficiency and cross training of current staff. <br />· Investment protocols. This will involve review of current investment management policies, and <br />enhancement of investment instruments as allowed by statute. <br />· Review and implement audit recommendations, in particular regard to the fixed asset inventory. <br /> <br />Mr. Haag will be spending approximately 10 days per month with us during the months of May, June, <br />July, and September. After this time frame, I will be performing an analysis of the financialfIT element of <br />the organization, and may make further recommendations. <br /> <br />A budget amendment from our Administrative Contingency Account (10-519-5990) will be required to <br />fund consultant fees. <br /> <br />As always, please feel free to contact me should you have any questions. <br /> <br />AJS/iw <br /> <br />Attached <br />cc: Hans Ottinot, City Attorney <br />Jean Watson, Finance Director <br />Derrick Arias, IT Director <br />Linda Dosal, Assistant Finance Director <br />Douglas Haag <br /> <br />Agenda Item \ 0 ~ <br />Date 5 - 18 - O~ <br /> <br />financial Consultant Agreement Memo.Doc <br />
