COMMISSION MEMORANDUM

FROM: Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager
DATE: September 10, 2014
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD 4 DIRECTORS OF THE NORMANDY SHORES
LOCAL GOVERNMENT NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT ADOPTING
THE TENTATIVE OPERATING BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR(FY)2014/15 SUBJECT
TO A SECOND PUBLIC HEARING SCHEDULED ON TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 30,

ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution which establishes the tentative operating budget for the Normandy Shores
Local Government Neighborhood Improvement District for FY 2014/15 in the amount of
$222,000, subject to a second public hearing to be held on Tuesday, September 30, 2014.
BACKGROUND
The Normandy Shores Local Government Neighborhood Improvement District(the 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 2014/15 represents its twenty-first
year of operation.
The District 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 the Golf Course assumes this cost. 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.
PROCEDURE
The operating millage and budget for this dependent special taxing district must be adopted in
accordance with Florida Statutes. This procedure requires that this Resolution be considered
immediately after the tentative millage for Normandy Shores District has been adopted (See
accompanying District Millage Agenda Item for details).

ANALYSIS
The total operating expenditures to provide the proposed budget to this district is$222,000 for FY
2014/15. The City of Miami Beach General Fund is required to provide 35%of the total operating
expenditures($77,700), and the City has funded the 35%for each of the twenty years since the
District was established. The amount provided by the General Fund for this purpose in FY
2013/14 was$78,750. The $222,000 budget in FY 2014/15 includes two line items which were
requested and approved by the Normandy District Homeowners'Association on July 11, 2014.
These include$10,000 for security camera.upgrades to the North Shore-Fairway entrance;and
$10,000 for potential additional costs associated with the new gate. The budget is 1%($3,000)
lower than the FY 2013/14 adopted budget.
The $77,700 impact to the General Fund from the FY 2014/15 proposed budget is $1,050 less
than the FY 2013/14 adopted budget impact of$78,750.
To provide the current level of security required by this district,the Administration recommends
the proposed ad valorem millage of 1.1305 mills. This tax levy will generate proceeds of
$153,059. The decrease of 0.1382 mills from the prior year millage represents an annual
decrease of$44.48 to the City average 2014 homesteaded property of$321,842 taxable value,a
total of approximately$534 per year.
The tentative operating budget for the District is as follows:
Revenues
Ad Valorem Tax $ 144,300
City's General Fund 77,700
Total $ 222,000
Expenses
Security Service $ 173,000
Maintenance 29,000
Gate & Security Cameras 20,000
Total $ 222,000
CONCLUSION
The City Commission, acting in its capacity as the Board of Directors of the Normandy Shores
Local Government Neighborhood Improvement District, should adopt the attached Resolution
which establishes a tentative operating budget and schedules the second and final public
hearing.
