2016-29523 Reso RESOLUTION NO 2016-29523 A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, ACCEPTING THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE SUSTAINABILITY AND RESILIENCY COMMITTEE TO SUPPORT FLORIDA AMENDMENT 4 (2016), WHICH AMENDMENT SHALL BE SUBMITTED TO FLORIDA'S VOTERS ON AUGUST 30, 2016, IN ORDER TO SUPPORT TAX REDUCTIONS ON SOLAR ENERGY EQUIPMENT AND PROMOTE THE USE OF SOLAR ENERGY IN FLORIDA. WHEREAS, Florida Amendment 4 (2016), entitled "Solar Devices or Renewable Energy Source Devices; Exemption from Certain Taxation and Assessment," would amend the Florida Constitution "to authorize the Legislature, by general law, to exempt from ad valorem taxation the assessed value of solar or renewable energy source devices subject to tangible personal property tax, and to authorize the [L]egislature, by general law, to prohibit consideration of such devices in assessing the value of real property for ad valorem taxation purposes" ("Amendment 4"); and WHEREAS, on July 20, 2016, the City's Sustainability and Resiliency Committee adopted a motion recommending that the City Commission support Amendment 4; and WHEREAS, cities and urban areas are in a unique position to combat climate change, because cities and urban areas are responsible for producing 70%of climate-changing greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions worldwide; and WHEREAS, by taking positive steps to reduce GHG emissions and otherwise mitigate the effects of climate change, cities can improve their quality of life, enhance their economic prosperity, and protect the livability of our cities; and WHEREAS, unlike conventional power generation, solar power generates electricity with zero air emissions and no water use,thereby moving the county, state, and country to a cleaner and more sustainable energy future; and WHEREAS, Florida has the greatest potential for rooftop solar power of any state in the eastern United States, but lags behind less sunny states in realizing that potential. With 9 million electric utility customer accounts, Florida has only 8,500 customer-sited solar systems; and WHEREAS, by law, Florida expressly denies citizens and businesses the freedom to buy solar power electricity directly from a provider other than a power company; and WHEREAS,allowing non-utility solar providers to provide solar generated electricity directly to customers through a Power Purchase Agreement ("PPA") can remove the upfront cost for solar power systems to homeowners and expand solar power options to residential and commercial tenants—thereby expanding the choice for solar power to all Floridians; and WHEREAS, Florida spends approximately$58 billion each year buying carbon-based fuels from other states and countries to power our homes, businesses, and cars; and WHEREAS, solar power would keep energy dollars here at home and create well-paying local jobs; and WHEREAS, in a recent poll, 74% of Florida voters said they support changing the state's current law to allow Floridians to contract directly with solar power providers for their electricity. Removing barriers to solar choice will allow more Floridians to take advantage of the power of the sun'; and WHEREAS,the Florida tangible personal property tax is a tax on non-real estate property and has the effect of increasing the cost of solar power on many solar systems by a rate of 2 to 5 cents per kilowatt hour (kWh); and WHEREAS, lowering the cost of solar power improves the economic benefit of solar power and can lead to significantly more solar energy development. NOW,THEREFORE, BE IT DULY RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, that the Mayor and City Commission hereby accept the recommendation of the Sustainability and Resiliency Committee to support Florida Amendment 4 (2016), which Amendment shall be submitted to Florida's voters on August 30, 2016, in order to support tax reductions on solar energy equipment and promote the use of solar energy in Florida.
