Key Intended Outcome Supported:
Increase visibility of police; Maintain crime rates at or below national trends I
Supporting Data (Surveys, Environmental Scan, etc.):
In the 2009 Community Survey, both residents and businesses reported the following areas,,for the
City to address in an effort to improve public safety:
• Preventing crime (Residents: 44.9 %, Business: 43.9 %)
Issue:
Shall the Mayor and City Commission, acting in its capacity as the Board of Directors for the
Normandy Shores Local Government Neighborhood Improvement District, adopt, the attached
resolution which sets the Proposed General Operating Millage Rate; the Calculated Rolled -Back Rate;
and sets the date, time and place for the first public hearing?
Item Summa /Recommendation:
The proposed ad valorem millage recommended by the Administration is 1.1478 mills to provide the "
current level of security required by this district. The rolled -back rate is the millage rate required to
produce the same level of property tax revenue on FY 2012/13 as anticipated to be collected in FY
2011/12 based on adjusted values as of July 1, 2012. The rolled -back rate is calculated as 1.0063 or
0.0872 mills less than,the millage rate of 1.0935 adopted for FY 2011/12. The increase in the "FY
2012/13 proposed millage rate is due to the maintenance of homeowner - requested cameras and
security gates, the estimated impact of the living wage ordinance on the security contract expenses,
and Property Management charges primarily due to personnel cost increases. The required millage
without the homeowner- requested additional security and the living wage increase is 1.0588 (0.0347
mills below the FY 2011112 rate). The FY 2012/13 proposed millage rate is above the maximum
millage rate of 1.0513 allowed to be ado' ted by a majority vote, and will therefore require a 5/7 vote.

the General Fund for this purpose in FY 2011/12 was $58,406.

FY 2012/13 Normandy Shores Proposed Millage Rate
July 18, 2012
.Page 2 of 4
BACKGROUND
The Normandy Shores Local Government Neighborhood Improvement District,a dependent
taxing district of its principal, the City of Miami Beach, was established in 1994 to provide
continual .24 -hour security to this gated community; FY 2012/13 represents its nineteenth
year of operation.
It was established by Ordinance 93 -2881; and has the authority "to levy an ad- valorem tax
on real and personal property of up to two mills, provided that no parcel of property will be
assessed more than $500 annually for such improvements ". During FY 1998/99 the amount
of annual funding to be provided by the City and the dependent status of the District were
issues discussed by the Finance-and Citywide Projects Committee. A determination was
reached that the City would fund 35% of the annual cost of the operation of the community
gate guard. This cost will eventually be funded from the golf course operation of the
Normandy Shores Golf Course. It was further agreed that the City would continue to
supplement the District at current levels until both issues were resolved. On August 29,
2002, the Administration met with the Normandy Shores Local Government Neighborhood
Improvement District representatives and agreed to eliminate the $500 cap on the highest
valued home in the District. The enabling legislation was adopted by the Commission on
September 25, 2002. This ensures that the City's contribution from the General Fund
remains at 35% of the operating budget of the District.
Statutory Requirement
FS 200.065, entitled "Method of Fixing Millage" establishes specific guidelines'that must be
used by all local government entities, including dependent taxing districts like Normandy
Shores in setting its millage (property tax) rates. Not unlike its principal taxing authority (City
of Miami Beach), No Shores is also required to transmit within 35 days from receipt
of the Certification of Taxable Value (received July 1, 2012), to the Miami -Dade County
Property Appraiser, a proposed operating millage rate, the calculated rolled -back rate and
the date, time, and place of the first public hearing to consider the proposed operating
millage rate and tentative budget for FY 2012/13 i
After setting the proposed operating millage rate for Normandy Shores, the City Commission
may at any time prior to the final adoption, lower the millage rate; however any increase
above the proposed millage rate of 1.1478, if adopted, would require an expensive mailing
and advertising process to each property owner of Normandy Shores. Therefore, this
proposed millage rate is viewed as the ceiling.
The rolled -back rate is the millage rate required to produce the same level of property tax
revenue on FY 2012/13 as collected in FY 2011/12. The rate is calculated as 1.0063, or
0.1415 mills less than the millage rate adopted for FY 2011/12. It is important to note that
the January 1, 2011 tax roll for Normandy Shores declined by almost $730,000 (0.7 %)
between the July 1, 2011 valuation and the July 1, 2012 valuation due to appeals,
adjustments, etc., which resulted in the FY 2011/12 "roll -back rate" being slightly lower than
the FY 2011/12 current millage rate if just adjusted for the increase in. revenues above the
FY 2011 /12.
Further, pursuant to State Statute, the City may elect to approve millage rates above the
f

roll -back rate up to the constitutional cap of 10 mills subject to' the following ;votes by the
Commission or referendum: -
• Option I: . A majority of the approval of the Commission Millage is required Ito approve a
millage up to 1.0513 (equivalent to a 0.55% increase in Property Tax revenues). The
0.55% increase is the state per capita personal income gain for the prior calendar year.
• Option II: A two- thirds approval (5 of 7 votes) of the Commission is required to approve a
millage up to .1.1'564 (equivalent to a 10% increase in Property Tax revenues above
Option 1).
• Option III: A unanimous approval of the Commission or referendum is required to
approve a millage above 1.1564 mills
The proposed rate of 1.1478 requires therefore a two- thirds approval (5 of 7'votes) of the
Commission.
ANALYSIS
On July 1, 2012, the City received the 2011 Certification of Taxable Value from the Property
Appraiser's Office stating that the taxable value for Normandy Shores is $112,393,414,
which includes a reduction of $283,196 to new construction, renovation, etc. The
preliminary value represents an increase of $7,981,561 from the July 1, 2011 Certification of
taxable Value of $104,411,853 (7.6 percent) and an increase of 8.4 percent over 2011's July
2012 value of $103,688,864.
Operating Millage and Budget j
The proposed ad valorem millage recommended by the .Administration is 1.1478 mills to
provide the current level of security, required by this district. This tax levy will generate
proceeds of $129,000. The increase of 0.0543 mills from the prior year millage represents
an annual increase of $15.50 to the City average 2012 homesteaded property of $285,5,17
taxable value (estimate based on Ad Valorem Assessment Roll as of January, ,2011), a total
of approximately $327 per year ($27 per month). i
The total operating expenditures to provide the current service level to this district is
$188,000 for FY 2012/13. The City of Miami Beach General Fund is required to provide
35% of the total operating expenditures ($65,800), and the City has funded the 35% for
each of the nineteen years since the District was established. The amount provided by the
General Fund for this purpose in FY 2011/12 was $58,406. The $188,000 in FY 2012/13
represents a $21,125 increase (12.6 %) from the FY 2011/12 budget of $166,875, due to
maintenance of homeowner - requested cameras and security gates, the estimated impact of
the living wage ordinance on the security contract expenses, and Property Management
charges primarily due to personnel increases.
For the Normandy Shores taxing District; the value for each mill ($1.00 of ad valorem tax for
each $1,000 of property value) is determined by the 2012 Certification of Taxable Value and
has been set at $112,393: 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
$106,773. Accordingly, 1.1478 mills are required to generate $129,000 in property tax
