RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached resolution, by motion,
providing for the engagement of KPMG Peat Marwick to do a cost analysis of all of the
support departments of the City, to properly allocate those cost to the operating
departments.
REASONS
I believe it is prudent for the City to have this study done at this time, since we have
received notification from the Association of Builders and Contractors that State Statutes
require that building fees be in line with the costs of the Building Department. Since the
operation cost of the Building Department encompasses not only the salaries of the
employees ofthe department, but also all of the associated support costs, I feel that it is
appropriate to engage this firm to do this study at time.

This letter is to confirm our understanding of the terms of our engagement and the nature
and limitations of the services we will provide as outlined in our proposal dated
December 6, 1999.
KPMG LLP (KPMG) is pleased to submit this Engagement letter to the City of Sunny
Isles Beach (the City) to provide professional consulting services for the development and
preparation of a Full Cost Allocation Plan. The plan will utilize fiscal year's 1999 actual
costs, and will be prepared in accordance with Federal Circular A-87, Cost Principles for
State and Local Governments.
We estimate that an elapsed calendar time of sixty days from the date of commencement
would be required to develop and prepare the cost allocation plan, with commencement
occurring within two weeks from the notice of contract award. This time frame, of
course, is dependent upon the timeliness of requested information furnished by the City.
The City will be responsible for the collection of all statistical information used as
allocation bases.
Our fees for professional services are based on the time and staffing requirements of the
engagement, and include all expenses incurred by us. Our total contract costs to perform
the professional consulting services will not exceed $10,000. The engagement fee will be
billed to the City as follows: 50% of the fee thirty days after the initial fieldwork date.
25% upon delivery of the draft report, and 25% upon delivery of the final report. This
engagement will be managed and staffed by Ken Carey, with additional assistance
provided by Heidi Powell. Both Heidi and Ken are experienced cost allocation
consultants.
