RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt on
second and final reading, the attached Ordinance amending Miami
Beach City Code Chapter 14B Section 14B-5, entitled "Charges"
providing for an increase in the fee from three cents ($0. 03) to
fn,,"" cents ($0. 04) per square foot of floor area per month.
First reading of the ordinance was held on September 8, 1993. It
should be noted that adoption of this ordinance is crucial to the
implementation of the Fiscal Year (FY) 1993-94 Budget.
BACKGROUND
In the FY 1993-94 Budget an increase in the "Interim General and
Proprietary Services Fee" was proposed from three cents to four
cents per square foot of floor area per month. The purpose of this
fee is to compensate the City for providing municipal services
during the period of time which elapses between issuance of a
certificate of occupancy (CO) on a dwelling, and its subsequent
assessment by the Property Appraiser and inclusion on the tax roll.
This rate is consistent with fees set by Dade County. Preliminary
projections indicate that this increase will provide an additional
$100, 000 of revenue to the City' s General Fund.
PROCEDURE
Miami Beach City Code, Chapter 14B Section 14B-5 establishes the
"Interim General and Proprietary Services Fee" and charges
therefor. In order to effectuate this proposed fee increase in a •
timely manner, it is necessary to amend Chapter 14B Section 14B-5
such that this fee increase will coincide with the beginning of the
new fiscal year on October 1, 1993 .
