Business ratings remain steady when compared to 2007, but improved by 14% when compared to 2005. • The value of city services for tax dollars paid for overall satisfaction levels for both residents and businesses. In addition, rating for the value of city services for tax dollars paid appeared higher (73.5% excellent or good) among those residents that believe that '28% or less' of their property tax bill goes to fund city services. Businesses identified 'high property taxes' as the most important potential challenge which might face their business over the next several years. Over the last several years, the City of Miami Beach has adopted budgets that provided tax and fee relief while at the same time providing improving services that address community priorities (e.g. public safety, cleanliness, landscaping and beautification, recreation and cultural arts programming, renewal and replacement funding forour facilities, and building/development functions). However, these objectives have become increasingly challenging -- in the last two years alone, the General Fund has absorbed almost $28 million in reductions (and more than $31 million across all funds) in a General Fund budget that is $235 million in FY 2008/09. • Between FY 1999/2000 & FY 2008/09 City of Miami Beach Total Combined Millage decreased by 2.8 mills (11.8%) to 5.8930. In FY 2008/09, total millage for all taxing jurisdictions within the City of Miami Beach was 20.2748, -The proposed combined millage rates for FY 2009/10 remains lower than 27 municipalities. in Miami-Dade County. Issue: Shall the Mayor and City Commission adopt the resolution? Item Summary/Recommendation: The total proposed operating millage is maintained at 5.6555 mills, including a general operating millage rate of 5.5472 and a General Fund Capital Renewal and Replacement millage of 0.1083. The rollback rate is the millage rate required to produce the same level of Citywide property tax revenues in FY 2009/10 as collected in FY 2008/09 and is calculated as 6.6107. The proposed voted debt service millage rate is increased from 0.2375 to 0.2568, an increase of 8.1 percent, however still lower than the 0.2415 for FY 2007/08. Advisory Board Recommendation: Financial Information: Source f Funds: Amount' Account OBP~1 U ~ Total Financiaddl Impact Summary: In FY 2008/09, the adopted operating millage rate for general City operations was 5.6555. In FY 2009/10, 5.6555 mills is anticipated to generate approximately $132.7 million in total tax revenues, a decrease of $11.8 million over current year budgeted property tax revenues Citywide (General Fund, City Center RDA and the South Pointe area) due to a decline in property values (8.2%even with a 6.6%increase due to new construction - an unprecedented $1.8 billion). General Fund property tax revenues will decrease by $10.2 million. Since the operating millage is not raised to offset this decline, the Proposed Work Plan and Budget incorporates $16.2 million in General Fund reductions (and $16.8 million Citywide), for a total of almost $50 million in reductions in 3 years, including $3.5 million in employee "Give-Backs" in the General Fund that need to be bargained with our labor unions, and which if not achieved will require further adjustments to the budget City Clerk's Office Legislative Sign-Offs: De a Directo Assistant Cit Mana er er '+~- ~~4- t ~~ ~ ~~~r ~ ACaEIKI@A ITEM /D' o SATE m MIAMIBEACH City of Miami Beach, 1700 Convention Center Drive, Miami Beach, Florida 33139, www.miamibeachfl.gov COMMISSION MEMORANDUM TO: Mayor Matti Herrera Bower and Members of the City Commission FROM: Jorge M. Gonzalez, City Manager DATE: September 10, 2009 SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR ANO CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, ADOPTING: 1) THE TENTATIVE AD VALOREM MILEAGE OF 5.6555 MILLS FOR GENERAL OPERATING PURPOSES, WHICH IS FOURTEEN AND TWO-FIFTH PERCENT (14.4%) LESS THAN THE "ROLLED-BACK" RATE OF 6.6107 MILLS; AND 2) THE DEBT SERVICE MILEAGE RATE OF 0.2568 MILLS; FURTHER SETTING THE SECOND PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE MILEAGE RATE FOR FISCAL YEAR (FY) 2009/10, ON THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 2009 AT 5:01 P. M. ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution which sets the following: 1) Tentatively adopted millage rates for Fiscal Year (FY) 2009/10: General Operating 5.5472 mills Capital Renewal & Replacement 0.1083 mills Sub-Total Operating Millage 5.6555 mills (no change from FY 2008/09) Debt Service 0.2568 mills X0.2375 last year, 8.1 % increase) Total 5.9123 mills (5.8930 last year, 0.3% increase) 2) The tentatively adopted combined millage rate of 5.9123 mills is 0.0193 mills more than the 5.8930 combined millage rate for FY 2008/09. The tentatively adopted operating millage rate for FY 2009/10 is 5.6555 mills. The tentatively adopted operating millage for FY 2009/10 is 0.9552 mills less than the roll-back rate of 6.6107, and thus, the City is not required to publish a Notice of Tax Increase. 3) The second public hearing to consider the final millage rates and budgets for FY 2009/10 shall be on Thursday, September 24, 2009 at 5:01 P.M., in the City Commission Chambers, City Hall, 1700 Convention Center Drive. The rollback rate is the millage rate required to produce the same level of property tax revenues in FY 2009/10 as collected in FY 2008/09. The rollback rate is calculated by dividing the prior year property tax revenues by the current year property values, after new construction, major improvements, annexations, deletions and tax increment districts are removed from current year FY 2009/10 Tentative Millage September 10, 2009 Page 2 property values. Under the recently enacted State legislation, the City may elect to approve millage rates above the roll-back rate up to the constitutional cap of 10 mills subject to an extraordinary vote by the Commission or referendum: • Option I: Millage up to 6.9048 (equivalent to a 2.5% increase in Property Tax revenues, net of the impact of the Tax Increment Districts) requires majority of the approval of the Commission • Option II: Millage up to 7.5953 (equivalent to a 10% increase in Property Tax revenues above Option ()requires atwo-thirds approval (5 of 7 votes) of the Commission • Option III: Millage above 7.5953 requires unanimous approval of the Commission or referendum up to the 10 mill cap PROCEDURE Florida Statutes 200.065 requires that at the conclusion of the first public hearing on the proposed tax rate and budget, the City Commission proceed in the following specific manner: Adopt a tentative ad valorem millage rate for FY 2009/10 operating purposes. This is accomplished by adopting a Resolution that includes the percentage increase or decrease over the "Rolled-back" rate; the required Debt Service millage rate; and, the date, time, and place of the second public hearing State statute requires that only the title be read aloud. 2. Adopt a tentative general operating budget for FY 2009/10. Also included, are budgets for the Enterprise and Internal Service Funds. This is accomplished by adopting a companion Resolution. (See accompanying Agenda Item R7A2). Both the millage and budget Resolutions must be adopted again after a second and final public hearing. Procedurally, a millage either greater than or less than 5.6555 mills may be adopted at this first hearing. However, any millage rate adopted at the end of either the first or second public hearings which exceeds the millage rate of 5.6555 mills established on July 22, 2009, and certified to the Property Appraiser, would require mailins~ of a revised notice of property taxes to each taxpayer. The notice would be prepared by the Property Appraiser, at the expense of the taxins~ authority. ANALYSIS OF PROPERTY VALUES IN MIAMI BEACH On July 1, 2009, the City received the "2009 Certification of Taxable Value" from the Property Appraiser's Office stating that the taxable value for the City of Miami Beach is $24,694,916,494 including $1,782,256,132 in new construction. The preliminary 2009 value represents a decrease of $2.204 billion or 8.2 percent over 2008's July 1 Certification of Taxable Value of $26,898,698,386. The comparative assessed values for the Miami Beach Redevelopment Agency City Center redevelopment district decreased from $3,707,103,133 to $3,446,724,524, adecrease of $260,378,609, or a 7.0 percent decrease in values over 2008 certified values. In addition, assessed values within the geographic area formerly known as the South Pointe redevelopment district decreased from $3,684,154,640, to $3,559,454,762, adecrease of $124,699,878, or a 3.4 FY 2009/10 Tentative Millage September 10, 2009 Page 3 percent decrease in values over 2008 certified values. As a result, taxable values in the areas outside the City Center RDA/South Pointe area decreased by 9.3 percent, from $19.507 billion to 17.689 billion, a decrease of $1.8 billion.

For the City of Miami Beach, this value for each mill is determined by the 2009 Certification of Taxable Value and has been set at $24,694,916,494. Florida Statutes permit a discount of up to five percent for early payment discounts, delinquencies, etc. Therefore, the 95 percent value of the mill is $23,460,170. The 95 percent value of 1 mill outside the City Center RDA/South Pointe area is $17,138,899. Impacts of Millage Roll-back In FY 2008/09, the operating millage rate for general City operations was adopted at 5.6555. Based on the July 1, 2009 Certification of Taxable Value, 5.6555 mills would generate approximately $132,678,991 million in tax revenues, a decrease of $11,840,316 over current year budgeted property tax revenues Citywide (General Fund, City Center RDA and the South Pointe area). The General Fund property tax revenues will decrease by $10.2 million, precluding the City from absorbing normal increases in salary and fringes and other normal increases due to inflation, and requiring significant reductions in current service levels. The rollback rate is the millage rate required to produce the same level of Citywide property tax revenues in FY 2009/10 as collected in FY 2008/09, thereby forgoing any revenues associated with growth in assessed values. The rollback rate is calculated by dividing the prior year property tax revenues by the current year property values, after new construction, major improvements, annexations, deletions, and tax increment districts are removed from current year property values. For FY 2009/10, the resulting Roll-Back Rate is 6.6107, 0.9552 mills more than the millage rate adopted for FY 2008/09. FY 2009/10 Tentative Millage September 10, 2009 Page 4 General Obligation Debt Service Fund The general obligation debt service payment for FY 2009/10 is approximately $6 million, reflecting a decrease of $44,447. Based on the July 1, 2009 Certified Taxable Value from the Property Appraiser, these bonds would require the levy of a voted debt service millage of 0.2568 mills. This represents an increase of 0.0193 mills. Despite this increase, the debt service millage remains significantly below historic levels.

It is recommended that in the General Fund, 0.1083 mills of the total operating millage be dedicated to renewal and replacement, resulting in $2.027 million in renewal and replacement funding.

Based on the FY 2009/10 Proposed Budget for Miami-Dade County released on July 15, 2009, the countywide tax rate is proposed to increase from 4.8379 mills to 4.9201 mills; the library tax rate is proposed to decrease from 0.3822 mills to 0.2570 mills; and the debt service millage is proposed to increase from 0.2850 to 0.3900. However, the Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners failed to adopt an operating Countywide millage. Therefore, by State Statue the tax notices were sent with the rollback rate. Given the significant decline in property values Countywide, the County's roll back rate is significantly higher than the FY 2008/09 millage. The proposed tax rate for the Miami-Dade School District is 7.995 which is 0.198 mills greater than the prior year millage of 7.797. The Children's Trust millage is increased to 0.5 mills. Proposed tax rates for other jurisdictions are unavailable at this time and are shown as unchanged. Using tax rates known at this time, the changes in tax rates are estimated in the following table.

With the recommended millage rates for FY 2009/ 10, the Miami Beach portion of the FY 2009/ 10 tax bill is anticipated to be between 28 and 29 percent of the total bill based on tax rates known at this time. Combined Millage Lew Impact on Miami Beach Property Owners Homesteaded Properties Amendment 10 to the State Constitution took effect on January 1, 1995 and limited the increase in assessed value of homesteaded property to the percentage increase in the consumer price index (CPI) or three percent (3%), whichever is less. For 2008, the CPI has been determined to be 0.1 percent and therefore, the increase is capped at 0.1 % for increased values as of January 1, 2009. However, given the downturn in the market, the average homesteaded property value in Miami Beach declined. Based on information from the Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser, the taxable value of the average homesteaded in Miami Beach as of January 1, 2008 was $297,281. As of January 1, 2009, the average taxable value for homesteaded property had declined to $282,801, a decline of 4.9%. It would be anticipated that more recently purchased properties would have experienced a greater decline, while longer term homesteaded properties may have experienced the 0.1 % increase. FY 2009/10 Tentative Millage September 10, 2009 Page 7 Non-Homesteaded Properties Non Homesteaded properties would have experienced a more significant decline. The average taxable value for all residential properties (both homesteaded and non-homesteaded declined from $360,895 to $328,557, a decline of 9%. Given that the change in taxable value for all existing properties was 14.8 percent, it can be imputed that the decline in commercial properties was even greater. Property Tax Changes The following table provides examples of changes in property taxes as a result of these declines in values, using the County rollback rates.
