Coral Springs is a city with a defined mission, commitment to excellence and employees dedicated to our core values of delivering a high level of service to the community with a great sense of pride in serving. The City of Coral Springs continues to make intentional, proactive, and strategic steps to strengthen the financial position while increasing transparency, innovation, and operating efficiencies citywide. Throughout the year, informative discussions and community surveys with residents and employees provided valuable feedback. Guidance from the Commission through Strategic Planning sessions, Budget Workshops, Budget Briefings, and Budget Adjustments have built the enhanced service levels in the development of the FY 2020 budget. Strategic Plan for the Future The City is committed to financial integrity and long-term sustainability. It is my pleasure to submit the City of Coral Springs Proposed Business Plan to build the Budget for Fiscal Year 2020; beginning October 1, 2019 and ending September 30, 2020. The budget document represents the policy direction set by the City Commission through the Strategic Planning process. The proposed business plan is intended to give a comprehensive view of the City’s new initiatives, market environment, environmental scan, and our customer requirements analysis from our business community. The FY 2020 Business Plan contains numerous tangible initiatives the City will undertake to move it closer to its vision of serving with excellence, innovation and integrity. The strategic goals were established by the Commission during several workshops last fiscal year and continue to guide the organization. The proposed budget supports the goals and priorities of the City Commission while at the same time maintaining the City’s outstanding service levels and AAA bond rating, with expenditures strategically linked to the goals, objectives, core businesses, and existing obligations of the City. The strategic goals include:

CITY OF CORAL SPRINGS, FLORIDA • OFFICE OF THE CITY MANAGER 9500 W. Sample Rd. • Coral Springs, FL 33065 • 954-344-5906 • Fax 954-344-1043 • mgoodrum@coralsprings.org


Strategic priorities form the basis for how we develop goals for the future and deploy resources necessary to pursue and achieve those goals. The City is working diligently to attract new businesses, diversify the tax base, and increase property values of our community. We welcome Costco, Athletica Health and Fitness, Young Chefs Academy, Air Adventure Park, John the Baker, Wild Fork, Aldora Aluminum and Glass, Grace Roofing, Emser Tile and Decimal Engineering. With a healthy housing market, new residential development is underway, and an energized commercial sector, developing growing and further diversifying the economic base will provide a more solid foundation to withstand future economic downturns. Impact of Maintaining the Current Millage Rate in 2020 We are proposing a balanced budget for Fiscal Year 2020 using a millage rate of $5.8732. Although this millage rate is the same millage rate as the FY 2018 and FY 2019 millage rate, it must be advertised as a tax increase because it is higher than the rolledback rate of $5.6004 mills. The FY 2020 budget includes the following public safety enhancements for staffing and equipment, infrastructure and drainage upgrades, innovative projects that lead to operational efficiency, grant opportunities, and investing in our future: •

Enhancing staffing levels in Public Safety

Adding 3 Firefighter/Paramedics and converting 1 Part time to Full time position of Training Coordinator for increased Coral Springs Regional Institute of Public Safety American Heart Association training classes

Converting a Part Time to Full Time position of Community Involvement Liaison in the Police Department

Adding Public Safety equipment for field use and health and wellness of staff

Replacing Fire Station 64 & expanding Fire Academy

Converting 7 grass fields to turf fields and adding 4 pickleball courts to our park system

Adding a Splash Pad and continuing to refresh our parks and maintenance plans

Addressing aging drainage infrastructure through funding a Stormwater Assessment Program

Developing an updated Economic Development Strategic Plan

Increasing funding for median maintenance and landscape improvements

Addressing IT Infrastructure Growth

Implementing an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system

Enhancing grant research by adding a Part time Grant Writer and implementing a grant management software to access additional grant opportunities

Continuing our commitment to attracting and retaining a well-qualified, highly regarded workforce while setting up an employee clinic which will help minimize the rising cost of health care

Additional points from the FY 2020 budget to highlight include: •

Replenish reserves from Hurricane Irma.

The Debt Service millage rate will slightly decrease from $0.2652 to $0.2534.

The Water rates will increase 3.5% per the 2013 Water and Wastewater Study, which equates to approximately $2.40 per month for the average single-family homeowner.

The residential Solid Waste Assessment will increase by $30.00, from $260.00 to $290.00.

The Single-Family Fire Assessment will increase by $28, from $200 to $228.

2


The Multi-Family Fire Assessment will increase by $13, from $215 to $228.

The Commercial Fire Assessment will increase by $0.19, from $26.10 to $26.29 per sq ft.

The Industrial/Warehouse Fire Assessment will decrease by $1.00, from $3.64 to $2.64 per sq ft.

The Institutional Fire Assessment will increase by $21.23, from $31.87 to $53.10 per sq ft.

Coral Springs continues to maintain a AAA bond rating from Standard and Poor’s and Fitch which signals to the market the City of Coral Springs is a low-risk investment, thus, lower interest rates on any borrowing and lower payments on general obligation bonds. The City also received another unqualified opinion from external auditors. Excellent Customer Ratings Customer satisfaction is a cornerstone of our Business Model. The City of Coral Springs continues to set the standard with regard to the overall quality of City services and customer satisfaction. Our most recent community survey conducted in the Spring of 2019, 94% of the residents surveyed in the 2019 community survey rated the City’s customer services as “very good” or “good” and found 95% of the business surveyed in 2018 were satisfied with the service provided by City employees. Acknowledgements The development of this year’s Proposed Budget has taken a great deal of time, energy, and hard work from Department Directors, their dedicated staff and the Budget and Strategy Department. I would like to extend my sincere appreciation for the collaboration between the City, the Commission, our residents and businesses. As we move forward with the many great initiatives we have on the horizon, I appreciate the confidence and support the Mayor and Commission have shown me and our tremendous staff. Thank you to our employees who live our vision of serving with excellence, innovation and integrity. We are deeply grateful for their dedication, commitment and ability to deliver quality services to our community.

Respectfully Submitted,

Michael Goodrum City Manager

Fiscal Year 2020 Business Plan


Introduction The Strategy Behind the Plan The Business Plan outlines how City resources will be applied within our five Strategic Goal areas to achieve the objectives determined by the Strategic Plan. This Business Plan represents the second year in the current strategic planning process. Our strategic planning delivers a mission and a set of strategic goals that provide vision and direction for the City. While it has evolved over the years, true to the spirit of continuous improvement, it is still the linchpin in linking our day-to-day activities with the mission that we aspire to achieve. We often say the Business Plan gives “feet” to our priorities and Key Performance Indicators, as well as establishes a structure for resource allocation. With the strategic goals set and appropriate outcomes identified, the operations of the City are reviewed and redeployed to bring the strategic vision to life. Specific initiatives are developed in response to the priorities identified in the Strategic Plan. This Business Plan is an outgrowth of the strategic priorities, capturing the City’s vision in a specific, directed, and quantifiable form. The Market Environment section is the result of an environmental scan performed prior to the strategic planning process. It is presented in its complete form in the Strategic Planning Workbook, and then updated and summarized here in the Business Plan. We look at local demographic and economic forces to identify emerging issues and items of concern to our residents. Direct customer feedback is solicited through surveys, focus groups, and town meetings (Slice of the Springs), which becomes the basis for the Commission’s strategic planning. Our Service and Operations Strategy is organized by strategic goal to document the steps we are taking to achieve the intended outcomes for each of the goal areas. Key Performance Indicators, set by the Commission, are the measurable results we intend to achieve.

Market Environment Overview The Florida economy has shown growth over the past six years, however, the economy shows signs of slowing from a previously more rapid pace of growth. Even with a cooling in growth, Florida’s economy continues to post numbers above the national average Gross Domestic Product, the Unemployment Rate, Personal Income and Population Growth. Due to population playing a large role in local governmental funding, the City must take precaution of a slowing population and the long term impacts. The City’s financial status remains positive as seen through the high investment grade “AAA” bond rating with Fitch and Standard & Poor’s, and Aa1 rating with Moody’s rating agency. In the current housing market, sellers of single-family homes and condos in Coral Springs continue to enjoy a strong market where the single-family homes market value increased 7% and condos increased 6.5%. As of now the City shows sustained growth in the commercial sector with new businesses such as Air Adventure, Outback Steakhouse, WAWA and Athletica Health and Fitness among others occupying the existing commercial space. The Economic Development Office (EDO) highly impacts the growth of the City’s local economic goal and focuses on the efforts of business expansion, retention, redevelopment, workforce development as well as improving the local business climate. In April 2019, the City embarked on a development strategic plan developing a road map of establishing a sustainable economic and diverse commercial tax base. The City of Coral Springs and the Coral Springs Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) work together on establishing a vibrant and sustainable downtown in which businesses, inhabitants as well as visitors can work, live, shop and entertain. Through its commercial enhancement program, the CRA encourages existing tenants and building owners to improve the building’s aesthetics and safety throughout the building. The City faces both new and old challenges and issues that influence our capacity to give the citizens the level of service we strive to provide. With concentration on controlling expenses to ensure a sustainable future, the City will continue to focus on areas such as the increasing cost of technology, attracting and retaining the City’s workforce, employee wellbeing programs and mental health support. The City continues to rely on our planning process to determine the most efficient available resources, identify priorities, and then allocate our resources accordingly. The City’s revamped Strategic Plan for years 20182023-2033 provide for where we are today, where we will be in 5 years, and a vision for what to look for in 15 years. In the Fiscal Year 2020 Business Plan, outlined here are the market conditions and trends impacting the City of Coral Springs.

Ad valorem property taxes, which are based on assessed values, make up 45% of the City’s total revenues. Growth in this singularly important revenue mainly comes from value increases in the commercial, retail and industrial sectors, new development, and millage rate increases. A majority of the City’s residential properties are protected by the Save Our Homes (SOH) cap, a Florida law that limits the increase on homesteaded property values to the lesser of the rate of inflation or 3%.

Economic Development The Economic Development Office directly impacts the City’s Growing Local Economy Strategic Goal. The City embarked on an economic development strategic planning process in April 2019 to create a road map for the creation of sustainable economic opportunity. The EDO continues to focus its efforts on business retention and expansion, redevelopment, workforce development and enhancing the local business climate.

Business Retention, Expansion and Attraction (BRE) • Created robust BRE program to reach out to local companies to discuss business climate and resources. Met with over 80 companies since FY19 began. • Approved Project Rockefeller for the QTI incentive and will bring 135 net new jobs to the city. • Presented the 2019 Business Excellence Awards on March 20, 2019 to six companies. Categories were created this year to provide the program with parameters. Marketing and Communications created a video for the winners and the event. • Successfully retained Air Sponge, a local air filter manufacturer in danger of moving out of the city due to losing its leased space in the industrial park. • Sponsor of the Coral Springs Regional Chamber of Commerce Biz Academy from October 2018 to April 2019 providing seminars to the local business community on topics including social media, customer loyalty, branding and cybersecurity. • Implemented a CRM system for tracking and reporting of economic development activities. • Provided support and assistance to developers, contractors, and business owners. Serve as a liaison with City departments, County and State agencies. • Moved to the final round for an EDA grant for stormwater improvements in the industrial park. • Applied to the Florida Job Growth Grant Fund for additional improvements to the industrial park including signage, landscaping and roads. Social Media, Marketing and Branding • Engaging on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram including documenting BRE activities on social media and tagging appropriate businesses and partner organizations.

In Q1-Q3 FY2019, the EDO increased its social media followers from 260 to 820 (215%). There were 42 social media posts in FY 2018 and 132 in Q1-Q3 of FY2019 (an 214% increase). • Created a video and campaign for the 2019 Florida Economic Development Week in February to engage the Commission as well as local businesses.

Economic Development Strategic Plan The City is working with Camoin Associates as the consultants for the six-month process. The scope of work includes in-depth analysis of existing zoning and codes as well as targeted industries and existing industry base. The plan will also identify opportunities for growth and suggestions for economic development branding.

Fiscal Year 2020 Business Plan


Downtown Coral Springs The City of Coral Springs and the Coral Springs Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) are creating a vibrant and sustainable downtown in which residents, businesses, and visitors can live, work, shop and entertain. Efforts include redevelopment opportunities and programs to enhance the downtown. Events In an effort to bring more residents and visitors to the downtown, the CRA hosts several events. Sunset Yoga is held every Saturday at the Art Walk. Innovate Downtown, held in March, celebrated its second year and featured presentations by “Creators “in a Shark Tank-like pitch competition. A seasonal Farmers Market takes place on Sundays from 9-1 p.m. at the Art Walk from November to April. CRA Commercial Enhancement Grant Program The Commercial Enhancement Grant Program was implemented to encourage existing building owners and tenants located within a section of the CRA to improve the aesthetics of commercial buildings and enhance safety in the rear of the buildings. For approved projects, the program will pay for 50% of the hard costs for the improvements. Commercial buildings may receive up to $20,000. Signs, painting, awnings/canopies, exterior windows/doors/storefronts, lighting, landscaping, enclosures are allowable projects. Eden Sample LLC and Santa Barbara Paints took advantage of the program in FY19. Downtown Mixed-Use Zoning District The Downtown Mixed-Use (DT-MU) Zoning District was established in January 2018 to create a zoning framework that requires all new development within the District to be pedestrian-friendly and mixed-use with an emphasis on the creation of places with an identity to transform Downtown Coral Springs. This mirrors downtown redevelopment trends and allows the City to be more economically competitive and attractive to a diverse demographic. Downtown Urban Design Guidelines The City Commission approved new guidelines within the CRA in March 2019. They are intended to supplement the standards in the DT-MU and foster a pattern/form of development consistent with the City’s and Community’s shared vision for the future of Downtown Coral Springs. The guidelines include but are not limited to architecture such as Art Deco and South Florida Contemporary as well as wall, window, awning and other signage. Wayfinding Signs The Commission approved a sign design package in March 2019 to allow for directional signage downtown. The aesthetically pleasing signage will be installed in 2019 and 2020. The signs will direct pedestrians and vehicular traffic to City Hall, the Art Walk, public parking and Broward Health in addition to other downtown facilities. New Landscaping The CRA has removed the existing landscaping along Sample Road from Coral Hills Drive to 99th and will replace it with new landscaping that is native and more attractive. Sample Road Lighting Replacement Broward County is replacing the existing light poles in the CRA with new, LED lights to improve visibility and enhance the safety of the area. Redevelopment Opportunities The Financial Plaza building is scheduled to be demolished by December 2019 and replaced with a new mixed-use development. Cornerstone at Downtown Coral Springs includes approximately 350 residential units, restaurants, office space, entertainment and retail. Village Square, on the Northwest corner of Sample and University, is slated for a mixed-use development as well.

Technology The City of Coral Springs Information Technology strategic plan is a comprehensive blueprint that defines how technology will be envisioned, architected, and delivered to all City departments. The strategic plan will enable Information Technology (IT) to meet its mission by defining a strategy that adheres to best practices, governance, and supports the initiatives and vision of the City’s strategic plan. Defining this fundamental IT best practice favorably positions the City to take full advantage of future solutions and technologies we pursue.

Network Infrastructure The City’s network infrastructure was designed to provide data and voice redundancy shared across multiple data centers in the City. This foundation provides stability, bandwidth, and survivability to the critical systems that are necessary to run critical City operations. To ensure the availability of data, an enterprise class virtualized server and storage network was implemented. This technology provides a robust application layer, which is capable of handling the latest in software applications, as well as allowing for future platform growth. Enterprise Software Application The City has completed the Request for Proposal process and is currently in negotiations with Tyler Technology for a new Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. Combining multiple data elements into a seamless platform is necessary to meet the growing demands of the City, and to meet the expectations of our customers. In an effort to integrate the numerous workflow processes that are now being done by multiple disparate platforms, or in many cases shadow systems, an ERP project will be necessary to create uniformity and up-to-date functionality. The ERP solution will also allow the City to take advantage of electronic document delivery, as well as drastically minimize many of the manual processes that are done today. Software Sustainability The City maintains a comprehensive inventory of the software products deployed across the environment. With the use of integrated tools such as Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM), we have the ability to conduct real-time inventories of all of the software in use on all City devices. In addition to maintaining software inventory, the City also maintains Enterprise License Agreements (ELA) with Microsoft, our largest software provider. In accordance to the ELA, the IT department maintains appropriate license levels, and keeps products on their latest versions and patch levels. The addition of the OneStop Shop to City Hall now provides a single location for citizens and contractors to interact with staff regarding Building Permits, Code Compliance, Business License, Planning Zoning, and Utility Billing needs. The Community Development software, TRAKiT, provides an additional toolset for our employees in the OneStop Shop to assist the citizens as efficiently as possible. IT Standardization The IT department maintains a change management practice modeled after industry standard protocols outlined by the Information Technology Infrastructure Library (ITIL) governance body. ITIL governance dictates how changes to production systems are handled, documented, and communicated. Detailed logs of the regular weekly Change Advisory Board (CAB) meetings are kept, and changes must pass through the CAB before implementation. The IT department also follows the industry standards set for Project Management based on the Project Management Book of Knowledge (PMBOK). Currently the IT department has two certified Project Management Professionals (PMP) on staff.

On-Line Services and Registration Currently the City utilizes several online or web-based solutions to serve our residents. Our customers can pay water bills online, register and pay for parks and recreation classes or events, and enroll in our Fire Academy courses, and now utilize eTRAKiT, which provides the ability to access all Development services. Additionally, several of the City’s applications are hosted in the cloud when available and depending on the nature of the data. Online services provide the City with an added reach to our programs and payment options, which allow us to focus on our residents’ needs. Green Information Technology & Document Management/Imaging The IT department continues to invest in energy compliance by reducing our data center footprint and purchasing energy star compliant devices. Taking advantage of virtualized technology allows the IT department to maintain powerful systems that require less cooling and power than conventional server infrastructures. This reduction directly relates to data center efficiency and provides flexible architectures that can be deployed in smaller more efficient locations. The IT department also maintains a digital document management system that aims at reducing the physical paper products produced, which must be stored in costly offsite locations. Public Safety Technology Initiatives Public Safety is paramount to the integrity and security of the residents of Coral Springs. Our Police and Fire Departments are outfitted with the latest CAD E911 applications and state-of-the-art Motorola GPS enabled two-way radios. The IT department recently wrapped up a major upgrade to the infrastructure of the dispatch center that services all of fire and police. This upgrade brings our dispatch center up to the latest technology available, ensuring stability and reliability. In addition, IT implemented the Fireworks software to help firefighter’s better plan for and respond to events. Geospatial Integration GIS (Geographic Information System) is a framework to organize, communicate and understand the science of our world. Rooted in the science of geography, GIS integrates many types of data. It analyzes spatial location and organizes layers of information into visualizations using maps and 3D scenes. With this unique capability, GIS reveals deeper insights into data, such as patterns, relationships, and situations-helping users make smarter decisions. The City is involved in an extended process to review and optimize the City’s geospatial data, upgrade the GIS server and client software and expand the use of GIS technology within the organization. A review of current business applications and procedures will move forward to make utility maintenance, community development, dispatch operations and EOC activities easily accessible, transparent and customer focused. Attention is focused on optimizing the access and use of geospatial data by integrating it into business applications and processes.

Legislative Issues The City is concerned about legislation that will weaken its home rule authority or impose mandates without a corresponding funding source. The following issues reflect legislative challenges that require attention and clear direction to staff through the Strategic and Business Plans. State Appropriations With an initial surplus expected in the State 2019-2020 budget, a host of special local funding requests were submitted to State legislators and the City of Coral Springs was no exception, submitting over $7.5 million in appropriations requests for special projects. The final adopted pre-veto budget totaled approximately $91.3 billion. One of the nine special projects submitted by the City of Coral Springs made it to the pre-veto budget but ended up being vetoed in the final session. School Safety Pointing to recommendations by a commission created after last year’s mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, lawmakers passed a wide-ranging bill designed to bolster school safety. The bill included issues such as improving mental-health services, but almost all of the debate focused on a controversial provision that would expand the school “guardian” program to allow armed classroom teachers.

Workforce Analysis The following issues will be the focus of the City’s Human Resource Department in Fiscal Year 2020. Attracting and Retaining the City’s Workforce Our City has benefited from high levels of employee engagement and very low turnover for the last few decades. Many staff who joined Coral Springs at our peak growth in the early 1990s have remained with the City and built a lasting career. During the next five (5) years, it is anticipated that a large number of employees will make the decision to retire. In preparation for the inevitable organizational change, Human Resources is developing a new compensation and talent management strategy to attract our future workforce and support internal promotion/transfer opportunities. Turnover can result in new opportunities for others to advance within the organization and our Leadership Development Program is a key component to prepare our employees for professional growth. The Human Resources department will also recommend new workplace policies that address topics such flexible work arrangements and family friendly programs to further retain top talent in the organization. Delivering Wellbeing Programs including Mental Health Support The City recognizes the significant role that mental well-being plays in the overall health of its employees. With behavioral health issues accounting for a large amount of the health plan claims and increased rates of depression and other behavioral health issues, programming must support the evolving needs of the workforce. The tragedy at Marjory Stoneman Douglas affected all City employees as well as the entire community. We recognize the need to support employees that will continue to experience the effects of such trauma in the days, months and even years after the incident. The City’s mental well-being programming includes access to free confidential onsite health coaching, no copays associated with behavioral health care, peer support programs, and free weekly yoga, meditation and fitness classes. The HR department will continue to develop meaningful programs to support a healthy workforce. Maximizing Workforce Productivity and Embracing Innovation In 2019, the City introduced INNOVATION as one of our new core values. This new value will gain momentum in the year ahead as we encourage employees to submit their ideas for process or service improvements. All innovative ideas are submitted to an employee led review panel, and once evaluated, select projects are recommended for immediate funding. Additionally,

employees who successfully implement an innovative project are recognized for their efforts. Soon the City will invest in a new Enterprise Resource Platform (ERP) that will dramatically improve internal operations and enable greater workforce productivity. The use of contemporary tools and technology in the workplace will require employees to adapt and evolve which in the long term will produce increased productivity. Our overall service delivery model will improve with greater workflow capabilities, self-service options and process transparency. To support the use of emerging technology within our organization; employees will continue to have access to our self-directed learning platform. Continuous learning will continue to be a top priority for employees and will help grow our collective knowledge base.

Emerging Issues The following issues may affect our ability to provide the level and type of service our customers expect. Community Engagement Community engagement is both a priority and a challenge for local government leaders. People engage with what they feel part of and value what they help to build. Engaging citizens and local communities is indispensable when it comes to developing a sense of ownership in local decision-making and service delivery. Thanks to the explosion and availability of affordable digital technologies, proactive agencies such as the City are poised to drive significant change in the way they interact with their communities. The City will do this by leveraging social media, video, mobile messaging and other tools to communicate with citizens in a way that is more engaging, interactive and personalized than ever before. Census 2020 The U.S. Census counts every resident in the United States. It is mandated by Article I, Section 2 of the Constitution and takes place every 10 years. The data collected by the decennial census determine the number of seats each state has in the U.S. House of Representatives (a process called apportionment) and is also used to distribute more than $400 billion in federal funds to local communities spent on infrastructure, programs, and services. The next Census in 2020 will require counting an increasingly diverse and growing population of around 330 million people in more than 140 million housing units. To get an accurate count, the Census Bureau must build an accurate address list of every housing unit, maximize self-response to the Census, and efficiently follow up with those who do not respond. The 2020 Census will be the second attempt to move away from paper in follow-up operations as the original plan for the 2010 Census was to use custom handheld devices for follow-up with non-responders. City staff has already begun working on this effort by ensuring addresses are accurate for the upcoming Census. Medical Marijuana On November 8, 2016, Florida voters approved amendment 2 to Florida Constitution which calls for legalizing medical marijuana for individuals with specific debilitating diseases or conditions as determined by a licensed state physician. It is also designed to require the Department of Health to register and regulate marijuana production and distribution centers. At the direction of the commission, staff brought forward an Ordinance repealing Ordinance 2017-124 and creating regulations permitting medical marijuana dispensing facilities within the city. Ordinance 2019-104 repeals Ordinance 2017-124 in its entirety and amends multiple Sections of Chapter 25 of the Land Development Code pertaining to Pharmacies, Medical Marijuana Dispensing Facilities, Medical Marijuana Processing Facilities, and Medical Marijuana Cultivation Facilities. Cybersecurity In recent years, cybersecurity has become the number one priority for state and local governments. Cyber-attacks continue to evolve in scope and sophistication. By 2020, according to the leading research and advisory company Gartner, a quarter of identified enterprise attacks will involve internet-connected devices. Lack of expertise, visibility and control, limited budgets, outdated/aging infrastructure, legacy systems and spending priorities are big factors causing state and local municipalities to fall victim to cyber-attacks. To combat the evolving cyber-threats facing government entities today, local governments must ensure they have an integrated approach to cybersecurity, tailored to address the broad scope of security needs. IT departments are focused like never before on comprehensive protection keeping their networks and data secure.

Occupational Cancer Legislation The Florida Senate voted unanimously Tuesday to entitle firefighters to cancer coverage as part of doing their jobs. SB426 establishes cancer as an occupational hazard tied to firefighting granting certain benefits to a firefighter upon receiving a diagnosis of cancer if certain conditions are met. SB426 also requires an employer to make certain disability payments to a firefighter in the event of a total and permanent disability, to provide for death benefits to a firefighter’s beneficiary if a firefighter dies as a result of cancer or cancer treatments, and to adjust the allocation of funds to provide line-of-duty death benefits for members in the investment plan of the Florida Retirement System. Regionalization of Dispatch Since February 14, 2018, the Cities of Parkland and Coral Springs, along with the Coral Springs-Parkland Fire Department, Broward Sheriff’s Office, the Coral Springs Police Department and the Broward County Office of Regional Communications and Technology, have worked together to improve communications and interoperability between agencies in the northwest section of Broward County. There has been much discussion of regionalization, having all dispatch in Broward County under one umbrella of service, or even in one location. The fact is, in Broward County interoperability is a far better solution and a practiced method used by public safety nationwide. In the event one system fails, the standing dispatch center may continue operating. Interoperability simply means that agencies can communicate with one another via radio and Computer Aided Dispatch (CAD) systems. Improvements have been made between ORCAT, BSO, and Coral Springs to ensure effective interoperability. The City of Coral Springs is in the final stages of selecting the best options for making the CADs between the Coral Springs PSAP and the Regional PSAP fully interoperable. The options that have been explored thus far include interfacing the two current CADs together or purchasing a new Motorola P1 CAD for the Coral Springs PSAP and then linking the two CADs. The Cities of Parkland and Coral Springs, along with the Coral Springs-Parkland Fire Department, Broward Sheriff’s Office, the Coral Springs Police Department and the Broward County Office of Regional Communications and Technology, continue to work together to ensure the highest level of service possible is provided to the communities for which we are responsible. Interaction with Other Agencies Local governments are finding the need to coordinate with external stakeholders through an intergovernmental liaison in order to enhance communication and partnership with other local agencies, county organizations and state representatives, as well as a variety of external partners. The goal is to foster a better understanding of programs, policies, rules and decisions, facilitate a better exchange of information and communication and promote cooperation and coordination amongst agencies.

Environmental Scan Demographic Trends Decennial Census and American Community Survey The U.S. Census Bureau’s Decennial Census provides actual counts of population and housing units every ten years, with the most recent one conducted in 2010. The 2010 Decennial Census still remains the best source for reporting basic demographic data, such as population counts, age and race/ethnicity, along with housing unit counts, occupancy and tenure. While the Decennial Census Survey provided an array of other socioeconomic data in the past, that practice was discontinued after the 2000 Census and replaced in 2005 by an annual survey called the American Community Survey (ACS). While the ACS does provide more timely data, it has a reduced sample size and greater sampling error. The ACS collects annual survey information continuously nearly every day of the year through a questionnaire mailed to a sample of households, and then aggregates the results over a specific time period. The ACS data is provided as 1-year, 3-year and 5-year estimates. The 5-year estimate is considered the most reliable socio-economic/demographic dataset. The analysis below uses the best available data for each category. Where appropriate, trending was done using the Census data for 1990, 2000 and 2010, along with the 2012-2016 ACS 5-year estimates (most recent estimates available from the ACS). A number of trends are worth monitoring as they may indicate the need for a new mix of services. Some trends include the increase in the proportion of residents over the age of 50, the decrease in proportion of school age residents, and the growing number of multi-lingual residents. Coral Springs has a majority minority population meaning the white non-hispanic population (44%) is less than half of the City’s total population.

Population age

Population • Coral Springs is still a “young” community, with 26% of population under 18 • Population under 18 has seen a decrease in its share of the total population by 16% in 1990 • There has been some “aging” in the past 20 years • Median Age reported by the Census increased from 31.7 in 1990 (37.6 for Broward County) to 36.4 in 2012-16 (40.0 for Broward County) • Age group 50-64 increased its share of the population significantly, 87% since 1990 • The trend of aging population will continue through 2030 as Baby Boomers age.

Population trends

The City is still a “young” community but the population is aging in place. There will be a continued need for youth and senior programs in the next 5 to 10-year period.

Growing Hispanic Population • Coral Springs has a Majority Minority population, according to the 2012-2016 ACS 5-year estimates. Majority Minority means the White Non-Hispanic population comprises less than 50% of the population. • Based on the racial and ethnic diversity of Miami-Dade and Broward Counties, the current trends will continue as a more racially/ethnically diverse population continues to move from Miami-Dade into Broward (and Coral Springs).

Place of birth • Foreign-born population in the City has increased its share of the total population from roughly 1/5 to almost 30% since 1990. • The majority of foreign born residents come from the Caribbean/West Indies, Central America, and South America.

Median Household Income

Median Family Income

A household consists of all people who occupy a housing unit regardless of relationship. A household may consist of a person living alone or multiple unrelated individuals or families living together. Median family income is typically higher than median household income because of the composition of households.

Population below poverty level • The percent of residents living below poverty level in the City is lower than the County and the State. • Poverty has doubled from 1990 (5.2%).

Although lower than the County and the U.S., this data does not include those living below the median household and median family income levels. These families continue to struggle to make ends meet. The fate of funding for Federal programs (HOME/CDBG and other HUD programs) has a direct impact on this population.

Customer Requirements Analysis Overview In an effort to closely align the City’s limited resources with the needs and expectations of our residents, we use a number of “listening devices” to gather credible and useful data. This customer input is a critical piece of the Strategic Planning process. Our business model demands that we know our customers’ needs and expectations. Through citizen and business surveys, SWOC analyses, Slice of the Springs meetings and good, old-fashioned customer contact, we gain an understanding of our customers views.

Residential Survey Summary Purpose and Methodology ETC Institute administered surveys to residents in the City of Coral Springs during February and March of 2019. The purpose of the surveys was to assess satisfaction with the quality of City services and to gather input about priorities for the community. A seven-page survey was mailed to a random sample of households in the City of Coral Springs. Approximately seven days after the surveys were mailed, residents who received the survey were contacted by phone. Those who indicated that they had not returned the survey were given the option of completing it by phone or over the Internet (www.CoralSpringsSurvey. org). A total of 1,246 completed surveys. The results for the random sample of 1,246 households have a precision of at least +/-2.8% at the 95% level of confidence. There were no statistically significant differences in the results of the survey based on the method of administration (mail vs. online vs. phone). In order to understand how well services are being delivered in different areas of the City, ETC Institute geocoded the home address of respondents to the survey. A minimum of 200 surveys were completed in each of six areas of the City. The results for each area have a precision of at least +/- 6.9% at the 95% level of confidence.

Efforts to maintain quality neighborhoods

Opportunities for Improvement In order to help the City identify opportunities for improvement, ETC Institute conducted a Importance-Satisfaction (I-S) Priorities Analysis. This analysis examined the importance that residents placed on each City service and the level of satisfaction with each service. By identifying services of big importance and low satisfaction, the analysis identified which services will have the most impact on overall satisfaction with City services over the next two years. If the City wants to improve its overall satisfaction rating, the City should prioritize improvements in services with the highest Importance Satisfaction ratings. Based on the results of the Importance-Satisfaction Priorities Analysis, ETC Institute recommends the following: • Efforts to maintain quality neighborhoods • Code Compliance Division

The second level of analysis reviewed the importance of, and satisfaction of services within departments and specific service areas. This analysis was conducted to help departmental managers set priorities for their department. Based on the results of this analysis, the services that are recommended as the top priorities within each department over the next two years are listed below: • Public Safety: City efforts to prevent crimes and patrolling in the City • Parks and Recreation: quality of recreation programs for seniors and the availability of information about recreation programs • Maintenance: drainage maintenance in neighborhoods and condition of major City streets

Fiscal Year 2020 Business Plan


SERVICE AND OPERATIONS STRATEGY Service and Operations Strategy The purpose of the Business Plan is to set out detailed actions the City intends to undertake in the coming fiscal year to help achieve our Strategic Goals. The five goals identified by the City Commission set the agenda for this Business Plan, namely: • Responsible City Government • City Investment in Today and Future • Downtown Becoming Vibrant • Growing Local Economy • Premier Community in South Florida While the Strategic Plan sets out the vision, the Business Plan outlines tangible plans for making the vision a reality. In each of the goal areas, department directors have developed initiatives that will direct the way the City operates in order to address our five goals and implement the vision expressed in the Strategic Plan. A Word About Existing Services and Ongoing Initiatives In some sections, we have highlighted initiatives that were in previous Business Plans that are still being implemented in Fiscal Year 2020. Generally, if an initiative is fully operational and integrated into our service package, it will not be mentioned. The emphasis is on multiyear implementation and the evolution of existing initiatives. For more detail about the services we provide and the performance measures we use to manage those services, please reference the departmental sections of the Annual Budget. Our New Initiatives Initiatives are developed that will assist us in achieving our Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). We include those we feel are significant contributors to supporting our strategic goals or put additional demands on our resources. In this way, we identify the most significant actions we plan to take next year. Wherever applicable, operating expenditures have been identified for the first year only. Capital expenditures also reflect only the first year of the project, and do not include capital carrying costs.

Fiscal Year 2020 Business Plan


Census 2020 Outreach Lead Department: Development Services/ Comm. & Marketing Operating Expenses: $65,000 2020 marks the next decennial census nationwide. An accurate count in the 2020 Census is vitally important to the future of Coral Springs as census data is used to determine how nearly $675 billion is annually distributed for Federal funds annually to states, counties, and communities to support resources such as schools, hospitals, and fire departments. Census 2020 marks the first year that forms will not be mailed to residents. Instead, they will complete their questions online. Staff is recommending the creation of a Complete Count Committee to help coordinate outreach efforts to residents. This Committee will be active for approximately one year and will sunset upon completion of the Census. The group will establish subcommittees to focus on areas such as Cultural and Ethnic, Hard to Enumerate, Promotions, and Interfaith relations. The Complete Count Committee will also work with long-established committees like the Multicultural, Customer Involved Government, and School Advisory Board, to promote outreach efforts. Funding will be utilized to prepare and implement a strong, local marketing plan along with reaching out to various strategic populations and/or non-profit groups to train and aid in the filling out of the questions online. Laptops or ipads may be purchased, as appropriate, for this huge effort.

American with Disabilities Act (ADA) Compliance Support Strategy Lead Department: Human Resources

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Standards for Accessible Design require that all electronic and information technology must be accessible to people with disabilities.

As technology continuously evolves, our methods for communicating and delivering information to the public have changed. Today our most popular methods for delivering electronic information are the City’s website and social media channels. To increase transparency and access for individuals with disabilities, the City will work with subject matter experts to identify opportunities for improvement and develop a new compliance plan that will be implemented during the next 1-3 years.

Professional Certifications Lead Department: Human Resources

Operating Expenses: Existing Funds

To encourage and support a more proactive learning culture, Human Resource would modify the Tuition Assistance Policy to include work-related professional certifications. This expansion of the Tuition Assistance policy would supplement employee developmental needs that are not covered by existing department budgets. Funding work-related professional certifications will enable City departments to expand their knowledge base and grow expertise among existing employees. It will also nurture a continuous learning environment while preparing employees for future opportunities and broaden their skill set for possible promotions.

IT Specialized Technical Training Lead Department: Information Technology

Operating Expenses: $53,000

One of Information Technology’s goals is to become a leader in the implementation of business technology by developing staff capable of building and supporting solutions based on industry best practices.

Information Technology would engage GIS consulting services in order to assist with the revision of GIS data to account for mobile editing, version editing workflows and integration with other GIS enabled software in order to configure new GIS software tools and functionality. A redesigned geodatabase will better serve in the flow of data updates to those who need current and/or real-time data.

ESRI Enterprise Advantage Program (EEAP) Lead Department: Information Technology

Operating Expenses: $89,000

Esri Enterprise Advantage Program (EEAP) provides enterprise wide visioning and geospatial enablement through technical advisory and access to a combination of consulting and training services.

To improve the sustainability of the City’s Health Fund, we need to evaluate opportunities to decrease

38

Fiscal Year 2020 Business Plan


overall health care costs. Providing an integrated employee health program strategically addresses the gaps and limitations of a standard health insurance model. By implementing a Near-site Employee Clinic, the City will have a strategic opportunity to address our gaps in care, under-utilization of health-services, prescription medication compliance and disease management needs by leveraging an external health provider who focuses 100% on our employee population. Once implemented the clinic can deliver a variety of scalable services catering to the City’s employees, their dependents and potentially offer services to local retirees. This model has been successfully implemented in other local cities and has provided a return on investment by effective managing and reducing health care costs. The initial operating exepnse of $727,950 includes $150,000 of startup costs (non-recurring).

Well Being Strategy Lead Department: Human Resources

Operating Expenses: $10,000

The City has a strong commitment to the wellbeing of our employees and develops timely programming to meet the ongoing needs of our employees and their dependents.

Our goal is to continue offering leading edge programs to support employees on their wellbeing journey.

Public Education Enhancement Lead Department: Fire Department

All these items can be used indoors and is intended for use in high density business and residential occupancies. There is also the option to use these props during the numerous special events that we participate in.

Cyber Security Insurance Lead Department: Information Risk Management

Operating Expenses: TBD

Cybersecurity insurance is designed to mitigate losses from a variety of cyber incidents, including data breaches, business interruption, and network damage. When the average cost of a cyber-attack is millions of dollars, and the subsequent risks associated with offline services are immeasurable (E-mail, Internet, Phone Systems, etc), having cyber-insurance is one more step that the City of Coral Springs can take to protect citizens and assets. By instituting a Cyber Security Insurance, the City will achieve the final layer in our layered plan of protection against today’s cybercriminal and inadvertent/unintentional internal breaches and attacks, protecting both the internal assets of the city and infrastructure and its’ citizens personal/financial data.

Senior Programming (Enhancement) Lead Department: Parks and Recreation

Tai Chi, yoga, as well as a variety of other fitness classes are among the most popular offerings. Many of these classes reach capacity, with seniors signing up on a waiting list to attend. With the senior population growing, residents are asking for new activities.

Online Performance Management System Lead Department: Human Resources Operating Expenses: Existing Funds The Human Resources department is Implementing an online performance management solution that will improve the efficiency of the employee performance feedback process. Human Resources will be evaluating several best of breed solutions that can support the City’s ongoing need to deliver meaningful performance feedback to our employees. Consideration will be given to existing self-service portals utilized by the Human Resources department when evaluating which options will strengthen the HR Service delivery model and streamline the delivery of feedback. Employee and Supervisor focus groups will be utilized to support the setup and testing of the new performance feedback system prior to implementing.

City Security Improvements Lead Department: Emergency Management

Operating Expenses: $547,352

The City’s current disparate security systems do not integrate to one another. There is no central viewing or management system. There is no operational panic, or lock down features at City Hall, Charter School, or at the Fire Academy. It is costly for us to hire contractors to work on our access system, and we do not currently have one vendor to work on these systems. This project will allow our city to bring existing systems into working order under the management of a new city wide security contractor. This will also bring our existing systems on line, provides improvement for our analog camera systems, and purchases servers for installment at key infrastructure. This combined approach ensures that our security will operate effectively while providing a platform for future sustainment.

ONGOING INITIATIVES Hiring of Grant Consultant (2019-2020) Lead Department: Budget & Strategy

Operating Expenses: Existing Funds

One of the City’s goals is to increase grant funding awarded to the City. Currently, there is a Grant Coordinator on staff to develop all of the city’s competitive grant proposals. The addition of grant consultants will assist the grant coordinator and city departments in crafting more competitive grant proposals. City departments would have access to subject matter experts who can provide the professional guidance needed to develop competitive grant proposals to funders which will in turn increase the amount of grant funding that is awarded to the City.

Open Smart City- Strategic Planning Online Platform (2019-2020) Lead Department: Budget & Strategy

Operating Expenses: Existing Funds

Recent events have led to a growing lack of confidence in our City. This lack of trust is not only directed at Coral Springs. Public trust in government remains near historic lows; with only 18% of Americans today saying they can trust the government to do what is right. The City’s current performance management system is failing and there are companies in the market which combine performance management and performance measurement into a scorecard for internal/external tracking and reporting. Exploring the use of an online platform to frequently update progress in the community will improve public perception and give our community a sense that they are able to track the new initiatives and reference the City’s strategic direction.

Linkedin Learning Subscriptions (2019-2020) Lead Department: City Manager’s Office

Operating Expenses: Existing Funds

Linkedin Learning is an online platform that provides a multitude of online courses which would be available to all City employees. Training will be readily available to staff, no longer requiring users to register online or travel off-site. Training can be completed from the user’s desk at their most convenient time. Offering online courses to city employees will meet the City’s goal to “hire, develop and retain a top quality City workforce”.

Virtual Slice of the Springs Meeting (2017-2020) Lead Departments: Development Services, Communications and Marketing

Operating Expenses: Existing Funds

Since 1995, the City of Coral Springs has held a series of “Slice of the Springs” neighborhood meetings, conducted in different sections or slices of the City – Southeast/Southwest, Town Center/Center West and Northside/Northeast. At each Slice meeting, City staff provides an annual update to the community and discusses relevant issues or concerns with the residents. The meetings are a chance for the residents to interact directly with staff members from all departments of the City, including Police, Fire, Community Development, Code Compliance, Building, Public Works and Parks and Recreation. After a decrease in attendance in 2014-2015, the three-meeting series held in 2015-2016 saw a significant increase in attendance. The attendance was boosted by the advertising efforts of the City’s Communications and Marketing Department through the City’s social media platforms. The goal of this ongoing initiative is to increase the number of participants in Slice meetings by including residents who would like to attend the meeting in person but are unable to do so. A “virtual” option allows people to attend “live” via their computer or mobile device. Attendees have the opportunity to attend the meeting in person at City Hall, or virtually via Facebook Live. Communications and Marketing and the Development Services departments conducted the first “Virtual Slice of the Springs” on April 20, 2017, again on April 12, 2018. and May 9, 2019. A panel of eight staff members answered questions from the public as they were submitted on Facebook while streaming live. This first Virtual Slice was a great success with over 250 questions or comments submitted and over 2,000 views during the 45-minute broadcast—and over 15,000 views to date.

Innovation Incentive Recognition Program (2019-2020) Lead Department: City Manager’s Office

Operating Expenses: Existing Funds

To encourage greater innovation within the City, an emphasis will be placed on creative thinking to help drive operational improvements in all areas of the organization. A new rewards philosophy will be promoted for employees to embrace the idea of innovation and launch a framework supporting innovative practices. Many of the new core values, established by the City Commission during recent Strategic Planning sessions, encourage higher levels of engagement among employees forming a stronger organization and greater retention of high-performing employees. This program is expected to yield productivity gains and monetary savings by replacing outdated practices. As of March 2019, the City received 26 ideas and have conducted 6 interviews, with finalist pending.

CITY INVESTMENT IN TODAY AND FUTURE UPGRADES TO CITY INFRASTRUCTURE, FACILITIES AND PARKS

NEW INITIATIVES Park Summit Left Turn Lane Lead Department: Fire/EMS

Operating Expenses: $62,000

In order to provide emergency responses for the residents in the community, the Fire Department is proposing to add a left turn lane of the development of Park Summit. This left turn lane will provide left turn movement access to the west driveway into Park Summit Condominium by reducing but maintaining the exiting turn lane into Palm Village, the residential development just west of Park Summit. The addition of this turn lane is necessary to not only reduce the response times of emergency responders but also increase the safety of the first responders and the citizens by eliminating the need to perform a U-turn. The area in question prevents a U turn from being performed in one motion and opens the responding service providers to side impact accidents that are detrimental to all involved.

Pickleball Courts Lead Department: Parks and Recreation Operating Expense: $2,000 Capital Expenses: $85,000 The Parks and Recreation Department will construct 4 permanent, lighted outdoor pickleball courts at the Tennis Complex at Sportsplex. Pickleball is the fastest growing sport and is especially attractive to seniors but will be used by all ages. These courts will allow us to offer new programming at the Tennis Complex, which should result in higher membership for the facilities. We will also be able to offer Pickleball lessons and tournaments. Work will be completed by a contractor, which we will find through a competitive bid process.

Bus Shelter Solar Powered Fans Lead Department: Public Works

Capital Expense: $25,000

Staff is researching the feasibility of installing a solar or electrically powered box fan in the three existing and nine Kaleidoscope shelters to be furnished and installed by Broward County. The Kaleidoscope manufacturer, Landscape forms, has offered the assistance of their engineer to design a fan that can be retrofitted onto the shelter. A prototype would be proposed for the existing Kaleidoscope shelter located on the NE corner of Sample and Coral Hills Drive. Since this bus shelter accessory does not currently exist as an option from the manufacturer, there would be a design and custom fabrication period followed by installation and monitoring of performance. If the fan proved reliable and effective after a 3 to 6 month test period, then it could be expanded to the remaining 11 Kaleidoscope shelters in the inventory. Staff has estimated that 60 of the green Tolar shelters have reached the end of their useful life, showing signs of rust, and have proposed replacing them with the Kaleidoscope model in future years.

Turf Fields Lead Department: Parks and Recreation

Operating Expense: Existing Funds

Seven artificial turf athletic fields will be installed throughout the City in the following parks: 2 fields at North Community Park, 2 fields at Cypress Park, 2 Fields at Mullins Park and stadium field at Sportsplex. Artificial turf will eliminate the need to resod or regrade athletic fields which causes the field to be closed 2 to 3 months each year. Artificial turf fields are available year round which will allow for the hosting of more tournaments, generating economic impact to the City.

Splash Pad Lead Department: Parks and Recreation

Operating Expense: Existing Funds Capital Expense: $250,000

As one of the ways to continue to provide for the residents, the City has decided to move forward with the project to construct a splash pad at a desired location within the City. The Splash Pad would include fountains and other spray equipment that would be open to the public free of charge. From the community engagement of Virtual Slice Meetings, Visioning Summits and City Surveys the City was informed that this was a project residents would like to see in the community.

Curbing on Sample Lead Department: Public Works

Capital Expense: $100,000

Sample Road is one of the main entryways to the City. A portion of the median between the Sawgrass Expressway and NW 120 Ave is uncurbed, encouraging illegal U-turns, causing deep ruts on the lawn and damage to shrubs and groundcovers which does not contribute towards the sustainability of the landscape, and reflects poorly on the aesthetics and maintenance of the City. Public Works is proposing to curb 1,200 linear feet of roadway to have this first median into the City completely curbed, which will prevent the ongoing damage to the lawn and will allow us to use trees with larger canopies, resulting in increased aesthetics.

Landscape Operation Enhancement Lead Department: Public Works

Operating Expense: $130,000

Currently, the arbor and horticultural activities on medians, right-of-ways and public buildings are being managed solely by the Horticulture Contract Coordinator. In order to complete landscape projects, the coordinator has to rely on other departments. The success of landscape beautification projects relies mainly on the proper water availability right after installation and during the dry season. Currently, we depend on the availability of the City’s Irrigation staff to assist with watering needs, but they cannot always accommodate our needs because they have other commitments or are under-staffed. The Public Works Department is proposing to contract out the inspections, repairs, and improvements of the irrigation system on areas that are under their responsibility, and to hire one part time consultant to assist as a Landscape Inspector. Having a person assist with landscape inspections, will ensure that all areas are being maintained as required on the contract, deficiencies are addressed in a timely manner, vertical clearance is maintained in all roads, unsafe situations are identified and corrected, and landscape installations and tree maintenance is conducted following best management practices.

ONGOING INITIATIVES Facilities/ Streets Cityworks Software (2019-2020) Lead Department: Public Works

Operating Expenses: Existing Funds

In Fiscal Year 2017, the Utilities Division procured a software program called Cityworks, which is based on Public Works operations. It serves as an asset management program designed to achieve maximum life and usefulness of infrastructure improvements, as well as document total work order cost of labor, material, equipment and GIS. This project, which will be included in the ERP contract is a continuation of the city’s proactive approach to asset management empowering staff at all levels which should enact process improvements and operating efficiencies.

Landscape Improvement of Arterial Roads (2019-2020) Lead Department: Public Works

Operating Expenses: Existing Funds

Landscape improvements along University Drive and additional arterial roads such as Coral Ridge Drive, Coral Springs Drive, Royal Palm Blvd, Atlantic Blvd, Sample Road as well as master parking, will improve traffic visibility, allow improved growth and appearance of plants and create a themed more uniform corridor. University Drive will be the first to be completed, bringing the road up to current FDOT Landscape Design standards which will have a positive impact on safety aspects of the road, and also improve the appearance by beautifying this main corridor with fresh and adequate landscape material. Following approval of plans, the bidding process will begin followed by the issuance of contract and construction term which will extend into FY2020. This project will make a positive impact on drivers who use the road as well as business located along these roads.

New Shop Equipment Lead Department: Public Works/Equipment Services

Capital Outlay: $200,000

Public Works Equipment Services repair facility will be relocated to the newly purchased Public Safety and Public Works building located at 4150 NW 120 Ave. This new facility is currently not equipped for Equipment Services to perform routine maintenance repairs on the city’ vehicles and equipment fleet. New equipment will be procured and installed into the new facility so that Equipment Services can continue to maintain the City’s fleet. Examples of equipment to be procured and installed include stationary above ground automotive lifts, portable heavy duty wheel lifts for medium & heavy duty trucks, overhead hose reels, bulk fluid storage tanks, automated bulk fluid delivery & recovery systems, compressed air system, automotive alignment rack, automotive exhaust extrication system, air circulators, lighting, (2) commercial hand wash stations, tire equipment, and overhead fall restraint system for fire truck bays.

Roadway Resurfacing (2001-2020) Lead Department: Public Works

Capital Outlay: $500,000

The life expectancy of an asphalt road is about 20 to 25 years depending on vehicle volume. Effective pavement management calls for streets to be resurfaced approximately every 25 years. Beyond 25 years, the aggregate in the road base rises to the surface leading to the recurring formation of potholes. The goal is to resurface the road before there is deterioration of the road base; if not, the existing road has to be demolished and a new road reconstructed in its place. If roads are not resurfaced based on the planned timeline, the City could incur greater expenses in the future. The areas targeted in Fiscal Year 2018 include Pine Ridge North and Westview Drive, and University to Riverside Drive. For roads within the City’s utility service area, the resurfacing plan is linked to the Utilities Division cast iron water main replacement program. The water mains will be replaced in advance of the roadway resurfacing project. In Fiscal Year 2019, areas to be resurfaced include the North Springs subdivision. In Fiscal Year 2020, areas will include the Hills subdivision and Riverside Drive north of Wiles Road.

Maintain and Protect City Trees (2017-2020) Lead Department: Parks and Recreation

Operating Expenses: Existing Funds

The City invested heavily in restoring the tree canopy after the devastation wrought by Hurricane Wilma, trying to reach at least a 30% three canopy coverage citywide. At this level, additional benefits are realized, such as reduction of heat islands, increased rainfall interception, reduced flooding, and increased oxygen production. As the City’s tree canopy continues to grow and mature, the need for tree trimming is increasing. Proper maintenance of City trees will help them withstand future storms. The City employs a tree trimming crew that applies specialized attention and care to the City’s tree inventory, which is essential in limiting losses in the event of another hurricane.

CDBG Action Plan (2018-2020) Lead Department: Development Services

FY 2020 CDBG Allocation: $761,605

Each year, the City is required to complete an Action Plan as a part of the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, provided through the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The plan describes specific projects and activities the City will undertake in the coming year to address priority needs identified in the 2015-2020 Consolidated Plan. These priorities include providing a suitable living environment, providing decent and affordable housing, and expanding economic opportunities. The City’s five-year Consolidated Plan has the framework for the City’s annual Action Plan to identify housing, homelessness, community and economic development needs and resources, and then tailor a strategic plan to meet those needs. The program allows the City to utilize grant funds for capital improvement projects in the City’s low- to moderate-income areas which otherwise would have to be paid through the City’s Capital Improvement Program and allows 15% of the funding for public services (senior and youth programs). The following projects are listed in the Fiscal Year 2019/2020 Action Plan: • NW 28th Street Sidewalk Replacement: $120,000 • Lion Park Lighting Project: $100,000 • Castlewood Park Replacement: $85,000 • NW 27th Street Sidewalk Replacement: $70,000 • NW 24th Street Sidewalk Replacement: $60,000 • Youth Scholarship Program: $50,000 • Home Repair: $40,043 • Senior Recreation and Functional Training: $40,000 • Senior Recreation and Therapeutic Program: $24,241 • Ramblewood ADA Sidewalk Study: $20,000 • Planning and Administration: $152,321

Fiscal Year 2020 Business Plan


Traffic Signal Intersection: Coral Ridge Drive and NW 41st Street (2019-2020) Lead Department: Fire

Capital Outlay: Existing Funds

This project involves the installation of a traffic signal at the intersection of Coral Ridge Drive and 41st street in conjunction with Broward County and the transit authorities. The exit point onto major roadways pose visibility challenges for emergency responders and distracted drivers only compound the problem for emergency responders trying to leave the fire station. Emergency responders deserve safe, ready access to roadways adjacent to the fire station. The signal will not only ensure safe passage for emergency responders, but will create safer and more efficient traffic patterns at an intersection that host a large number of commuters who are employed at any of the commercial businesses located in the corporate park.

Traffic Management (2010-2020) Lead Department: Development Services, Public Works

Capital Outlay: $45,000

The Transportation Improvement Plan for Fiscal Year 2020 shows the efforts planned or underway to ensure acceptable levels of service and safe driving conditions are maintained in the City. The City’s Traffic Management Team meets monthly to address issues pertaining to the safe and efficient use of the roadway network. Projects include traffic calming, road resurfacing, turn lanes at intersections, as well as pedestrian and bicycle infrastructure improvements. The TMT will investigate a pilot project to allow dockless scooters within the city limits. In Fiscal Year 2020, the City will work with Broward County and the Broward Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) to maximize the delivery of transportation infrastructure projects provided through the Transportation Surtax passed by voters in November 2018. In addition, with the completion of the Downtown Coral Springs Mobility Hub Master Plan, the City will work with the MPO to identify and seek funding for infrastructure projects for the Downtown Local Activity Center. The City will continue working with Broward County on pedestrian signal improvements to enhance mobility and connectivity, including the installation of audible pedestrian detectors at three intersections with high levels of pedestrian activity. Broward County is planning several improvements including updated traffic signal synchronization and the installation of new mast arms with pedestrian countdown signals. City staff will work with the MPO and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) on the following efforts: •

Implement projects that improve regional connectivity, including the initiative to build the Sawgrass Expressway Connector to I-95

Expand University Drive to six lanes north of NW 40th Street

Widen Wiles Road east of University Drive to six lanes

Advance multi-modal initiatives along Rock Island Road, Coral Ridge Drive, and Turtle Creek Drive

City staff will continue to monitor development within the Downtown LAC (Local Activity Center) to determine traffic impacts of new development as well as the ongoing development within the “Wedge” area of Parkland. Also in Fiscal Year 2020, $33,000 is being requested where $22,000 will be used to replace two temporary rubber speed cushions with concrete on Shadow Wood Boulevard. Additional funding is requested for the repair of speed cushions and maintaining the thermoplastic pavement markings and signage to improve the safety and visibility of all traffic calming locations throughout the City.

GROWING LOCAL ECONOMY INCREASED BUSINESS INVESTMENT AND JOBS

NEW INITIATIVES Implement a DNS, DHCP, and IP (DDI) Management Tool Lead Department: Information Technology

Capital Outlay: $140,000

Given the rapid emergence of new technological infrastructure such as visualization, cloud, SDN, and more, the City is executing the security measures to match.

PREMIER COMMUNITY IN SOUTH FLORIDA THE PLACE FOR FAMILIES TO LIVE IN GREAT NEIGHBORHOODS

NEW INITIATIVES Body Worn Cameras and In-Car LPR Lead Department: Police

Operating Expenses: $495,840 (forfeiture funds)

Currently, the City of Coral Springs is one of the two cities in Broward County which do not utilize some type of camera system in relation to policing. The need to document incidents via body worn or in-car cameras has become increasingly standardized. Due to this, the State’s Attorney Office is beginning to rely heavily on body worn cameras video to obtain convictions. Additionally, the need to convey an accurate account of police related activity to the public has become vital. It is the duty of the City of Coral Springs to provide its residents with accurate and detailed descriptions of incidents which take place within the jurisdictional limits of the City of Coral Springs. Body worn camera systems will provide a more in-depth approach to managing investigations related to the Coral Springs Police Department.

Educational Guides for Residents and Businesses Lead Department: Development Services

Operating Expenses: Existing Funds

In an attempt to have new residents and business owners comply with the City codes and regulations, two of the City’s departments Development Services and the Communications & Marketing Department will work together to provide guidance to those that are transitioning into the City of Coral Springs. Guides will assist residents, businesses, property owners, tenants, etc. to understand the most common issues and how to rectify the issues. City staff often receive calls or visits from new property or business owners inquiring about the rules governing their property or activities, usually after a Code case has been initiated. All communications will be monitored, and a survey will be used to measure the impact on the City.

Additional (3) Firefighter/ Paramedics Lead Department: Fire/EMS

Operating Expenses: $186,627 Fire Fund/$114,384 General Fund

Capital Outlay Fire: $12,000

The Coral Springs Fire department currently maintains a staff of 153 shift based personnel, fifty (50) per shift. These personnel are responsible for the staffing of eight (8) fire stations located in the cities of Coral Springs and Parkland. The department is requesting three (3) additional firefighters in the Fiscal Year 2020 budget. The additional personnel would add one (1) firefighter/paramedic to each of the three (3) fire department shifts. The benefits to the department and the City are as follows: Increase the amount of personnel on particular units such as the busier units that are running a heavy amount of calls for service. This would also decrease the need for some of the busiest ladder and engine companies having to respond to medical calls for additional staffing. Having the suppression companies remain available will allow faster and more efficient responses in their respective response zones. One (1) additional person per shift will allow additional personnel to utilize their allotted accrued leave time for both vacation and comp time at a more consistent rate, which would greatly improve morale and efficiency within the fire department. Currently the fire department rely on their staff member to work overtime so that an individual can take their earned vacation or personal time.

Training Center Coordinator Office Assistant Part-time to Full-time Lead Department: Fire

Operating Expenses: $36,470

Currently, the City of Coral Springs is designated as an American Heart Association (AHA) Authorized Training Center. This entity is managed by the Fire Department and a staff member at the training center (CSRIPS). The changes that AHA has mandated to maintain this authorization has far exceeded the scope of the current part time employee. The position oversees all aspects for AHA requirements/compliance. AHA announced their plan to cut training centers that don’t deliver a high number of instructor classes, certification courses and total number of students certified. Training center numbers are not only comprised of their own classes and students but those classes and certifications conducted by the Training Sites that align under the center. This position has a global impact city wide and the loss of the designation will increase expenditures for all training sites during certification and recertification.

Community Involvement Liaison Part-time to Full-time Lead Department: Police

Operating Expenses: $32,548

The Community Involvement Unit is the face of the Police Department and many times the City. The unit conducts numerous community events and partners with the community to provide excellent service and a positive message from the Police Department and City. In the past, the Community Involvement Unit has always relied on assistance from personnel in the Youth Liaison Unit to accomplish its mission. However, due to recent events, the flexibility of our School Resource Officers to assist with related projects has been extremely limited, making it more difficult to accomplish the Units missions. With the upgrade of this liaison position from part-time to full-time, the department will have the much needed coverage working with the citizens. The Community Involvement Liaison will take the lead in coordinating the City’s Summer Breakspot, Summer Camp, Safety Town, Special Needs Database, Angel Tree gifting program, Holiday Programs, Shop with a Cop and Special Olympics.

Rapid Intervention Team Bags Lead Department: Fire

Capital Outlay: $186,000

A RIT (Rapid Intervention Team) is an OSHA mandated group that is mobilized anytime firefighters are working in a hazardous structure. RIT bags are a critical piece of equipment used to rescue a firefighter if they were to become injured or trapped during an operation. Our deployment of this tool allows us not only to have the necessary care on hand for our firefighters, but also allows us to seamlessly overlap with other municipalities that also utilize these vital assets.

Civil Unrest Team (CUTS) Lead Department: Police

Operating Expenses: $12,500

Capital Outlay:$19,400

The Civil Unrest Team (CUTS) was originally established in 2016 to protect the City from civil unrest. Capital funding was used for the initial purchase of equipment to operate and outfit 100 officers should need arise to protect the City from civil unrest. Since then, the City sees the benefit in creating a permanent place for this team within the City. This initiative will serve to give officers both the equipment and training to effectively de-escalate an incident.

Emergency Operations Center Upgrades Lead Department: Emergency Management

Capital Expenses: $35,000

The Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is a central hub for widespread incidents throughout the City. As technology improves, our EOC is unable to integrate. The upgrades will include improvements on the technology and infrastructure aspects of the building. These improvements will convert all technology to HDMI, improving our ability to broadcast directly to Blue Stream, and provides an audio visual solution with a complete management system for the devices located on the network.

ONGOING INITIATIVES Police Hire Incentive (2019-2020) Lead Department: Police

Operating Expenses: Existing Funds

The City is offering an incentive to attract quality sworn experienced law enforcement candidates. The incentive will award a $5,000 bonus for experienced Florida State certified law enforcement officer candidates who meet the requirements of holding a current certification as a Law Enforcement Officer in the State of Florida and have a minimum of one year full-time sworn, law enforcement experience (not limited to the State of Florida). Also, existing employees that recommend a sworn candidate that converts to a hire will receive a $500 bonus once the hire completes FTO. Through the City’s recruitment system, promotion of the incentive has been implemented.

Historic Preservation (2019-2020) Lead Department: Development Services

Operating Expenses: Existing Funds

The County Commission is considering a change to its Historic preservation ordinance which will require cities to obtain Certified Local Government (CLG) status with the state of Florida. Designation as a Certified Local government makes historic preservation a public policy through passage of a historic preservation ordinance. The proposed ordinance establishes a historic preservation Board to develop and oversee the functions of its historic preservation program. Should the City chose not to become a CLG, designation and oversight of Historic Structures and districts within the City will be determined by the County Commission upon recommendation by County Historic Preservation Board. As many of the buildings in the city have just reached fifty years old within the last few years, an inventory of potential historic structures needs to be conducted. Master Site Files need to be created for potential historic structures, which includes research of builders, architects of records, historically significant events, architectural styles, etc. This research and creation of Master Site files will need to be conducted by a consultant with expertise in the area of historic preservation. Historic Preservation Design Guidelines will need to be developed and a Historic preservation Ordinance will need to be created and adopted in order to establish the program requirements within the City. The County’s proposed amendments were deferred by the Broward County Planning Council in April, 2019. The County Commission’s consideration is expected this summer. The City staff will engage in an historic preservation expert to begin site files should the amendment move forward.

Summer Breakspot Program (2017-2020) Lead Department: Police

Operating Expenses: Existing Funds

During the summer of 2017 the Community Services division of the Police Department coordinated the facilitation of a “Summer Breakspot” juvenile feeding and outreach program in conjunction with Florida Impact. This 6 week program not only provided nourishment to at-risk children (ages 6-14) within our community, but also provided enrichment through daily safety presentations, reading and mentoring, arts and crafts, and sports activities. Coral Springs Police personnel staffed and operated the program, coordinating volunteers, providing educational and recreational components, sports activities, and food distribution. High school students and community volunteers were also recruited to assist with the daily operations. This year’s 2019 program will be held at James Hunt Elementary School. Seeking to reinstitute the “Summer Breakspot” program this coming summer and years ahead, a dedicated funding source would help with the continuance and possible expansion of the “Summer Breakspot” program.

Community Paramedic Program (2015-2020) Lead Department: Fire/EMS

Operating Expenses: Existing Funds (General Fund and Fire Fund)

Increasingly, 911 emergency services are being accessed by individuals with low acuity medical issues, the chronically ill, those with no access to primary care, and those with behavioral health needs who find themselves in crisis with no other way to access appropriate care. Invariably, many of these patients are transported by rescue to a hospital’s ER even though it may not be the most appropriate way to meet their needs. In March 2015, the Coral Springs Fire Department launched a pilot of a Community Paramedic program, based on best practices from several agencies across the nation. An existing, experienced paramedic was temporarily moved from the traditional 24 hour on and 48 hour off, to an eight hour a day, five days per week schedule to run the program. Based on the proven success of the interventions made to date, the City created a permanent Community Paramedic position in Fiscal Year 2017. This paramedic will continue the program on a permanent basis, conducting house visits to patients who traditionally have used the 911 system for non-medical emergencies, or as their primary source of healthcare. This paramedic will assist these patients in meeting their non-medical needs, helping them obtain resources directly, instead of through the already taxed 911 system. A community paramedic helps our citizens make better use of available emergency services and find solutions to problems that are not typically related to emergency medical care (transportation, follow up care, medication management, food, housing, utilities, etc.). These patients are being directly assisted or referred to agencies that can assist them.

Enterprise Software (2013-2020) Lead Department: Information Technology

Operating Expenses: $86,000

Capital Outlay: TBD

The City will need to invest in standardization of its core business processes through the implementation of a new Enterprise Resource Planning system (ERP). Disparate systems and processes will be replaced with a more integrated approach to managing core processes in Finance, Budget, Purchasing, Payroll, Human Resources, Fleet Facilities and Asset Management. Implementation of a ERP solution will also enable the City to provide online service tools such as self-service for employees, online solicitation tools for vendors and standardized eGovernment tools for constituants. The implementation of the new ERP platform will be a phased process involving Finance, Budget, Human Resources, Information Technology, and representatives from key using departments across the City. Considerable time and effort is needed to ensure the preservation of existing data and the uninterrupted functionality of these key internal services.

FEMA Appeals Consultant (2018-2020) Lead Department: Finance

Operating Expenses: Existing Funds

For the past five fiscal years, the City has utilized the services of two firms to assist with ongoing FEMA appeals processes related to Hurricane Wilma: O’Briens Response Management and the Washington, DC office of the Baker Donelson law firm. This assistance needs to continue until we receive a final decision on the one outstanding appeal. The City’s use of these firms over the past four years has resulted in successful appeals of over $2,000,000. The remaining appeal is the result of an error on the part of FEMA and the State but the best course of action was to file an appeal.

Drowning Prevention/Water Safety (20072020) Lead Departments: Fire/EMS, Communications and Marketing Operating Expenses: Existing Funds Drowning is a leading cause of death among all children, and in Florida it is the number one cause of death in children under age four, with Broward County leading in this tragic statistic. Due to our close proximity to all forms of water and our high population of children, the City has made it a priority to heighten community awareness and focus on prevention efforts. One of the most significant prevention strategies we employ is our partnerships with local agencies and schools to bring swimming lessons to children and families in the community, offering free swimming lesson vouchers for children under four years of age, and recently began partnering to offer adult swim lesson vouchers. The Coral Springs Fire Department, together with our local partners, administers a program called “Watch Your Kid, You’ll Be Glad You Did�. This local community drowning prevention effort has become an action model for other cities in Broward County. The community team of agencies provides regular drowning prevention information and presents educational sessions to a wide range of community groups to raise awareness and provide pool safety instruction. The Police Department and Aquatics staff work together to support the message as part of their community outreach efforts. As part our overall Life Safety education initiative, CPR training mannequins are brought to most community events to educate the public on CPR training techniques, which also supports our Pulse Point initiative in improving both the response to drowning as well as cardiac emergencies. Many other programs, such as Sleep Safe and Car Seat Safety Installations, are utilized to further drowning prevention efforts. This efforts have resulted in a major shift in survivability for local children who do have a drowning event, with seven out of nine making full recoveries.

The EDA grant has been moved to the next level, but requires a local match of almost $2M. The item is on the agenda for 3.20.19. If the commission does not approve the match, we will be ineligible for the EDA funding. We submitted our grant application to the Job Within Budget On Schedule Growth Grant Fund and have spoken with DEO. Our submittal looks good, but there is currently no funding left for FY19.
