A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE NORMANDY
SHORES LOCAL GOVERNMENT NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT
DISTRICT ADOPTING AN AD VALOREM MILLAGE RATE OF 1.194
MILLS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2002/03 FOR THE NORMANDY SHORES
LOCAL GOVERNMENT NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT

ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and 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 following:
1) Final adopted millage rate for Fiscal Year (FY) 2002/03
Normandy Shores 1.194 mills
(0.910 last year)
2) The adopted millage rate of 1.194 mills is 42.3% greater than the "Rolled-back" rate of
0.839 mills.
The first public hearing on the tentative Normandy Shores District millage rate and budget
for FY 2002/03 was held on September 23, 2002. The millage rates presented herein are
those which were tentatively adopted at the end of the first public hearing held on
September 23, 2002 .
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 millage and budget of the principal taxing authority,
Le., City of Miami Beach.
Normandy Shores FY 2002/03 Final Millage
September 26, 2002
Page 2
It also prescribes that a final millage be adopted first. This is accomplished by adopting a
Resolution which states the percent increase over the "Rolled-back" rate. Following this,
another Resolution which adopts the Normandy Shores District operating budget must be
approved.
The statute requires the name of the taxing authority, the rolled-back rate, the percentage
increase, and the millage rate be publicly announced before the adoption of the millage
levy resolution. Therefore, only the resolution title should be announced before the
adoption of the millage resolution.
BACKGROUND
The Normandy Shores Local Government Neighborhood Improvement District (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 2002/03 represents its
ninth 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". Based on January 1, 2002, "Certification of Taxable Values" for the district,
the highest taxable property assessment within the district is valued at $624,003, which
requires a millage of 0.801; this millage yields an assessment of $500.
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 guard gate. This cost will eventually be
funded from the golf course operation of the Normandy Shores Golf Course rather than the
General Fund.
At the July 31,2002 Commission meeting the Mayor and Commission adopted Resolution
2002-24942, which set the proposed operating millage rate for the District at 0.801 mills. At
this millage, in accordance with the enabling legislation no property owner's tax would
exceed $500. The tax levy at 0.801 mills would have generated proceeds of$52,310 of the
$120,000 operating budget to provide security services to the district. The difference
between the revenues generated from such ad valorem tax proceeds and the total
budgetary requirement of the District was to have been funded by the General Fund in the
amount of $67,690 or 56% of the total operating budget. The General Fund has funded
this difference for each of the eight years since the District was established.
However, the Mayor and City Commission directed the Administration to take the actions
necessary to limit the General Fund contributions to 35% of the operating costs of the
District as have been previously discussed by the Finance and Citywide Projects
Committee. The Administration met with the Normandy Shores Local Government
Neighborhood Improvement District representatives on August 29th and they agreed with

the Administration's recommendation to amend the enabling ordinance to eliminate the
$500 cap on the highest valued home in the District and to amend the proposed millage
from 0.801 mills to 1.194 mills. This millage will generate $78,000 which represents 65% of
the operating budget of the District and will limit the contribution from the General Fund to
$42,000 or 35% of the operating budget.
ANALYSIS
On September 11, 2002, the City Commission adopted Resolution 2002-24955 which set
the tentative operating millage rate for the District at 1.194 mills. To increase the proposed
millage, the City had to notify the Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser, who prepared
and distributed the required notification to each property owner in the District. This
notification is estimated by the Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser to cost
approximately $1,000, which will be borne by the City. On September 23,2002, the City
Commission held the first public hearing on the tentative District millage rate and budget
and adopted the tentative millage rate for the District at 1.194 mills. In addition, on
September 25, 2002, the City Commission adopted the enabling ordinance to eliminate the
$500 cap on the highest valued home.
The final ad valorem millage recommended by the Administration is 1.194 mills to provide
the level of security required by this district. This tax levy will generate proceeds of $78,000
and the General Fund will fund $42,000 or 35% of the operating budget.lt must be noted
that in accordance with State Statute, there is a 10 mill operating cap which cannot be
exceeded without voter approval. Combining both millages from the dependent district
(1.194) and the principal taxing authority (7.299) totals 8.493 mills, which is 1.507 mills less
than the 10 mill cap.
CONCLUSION
The City Commission, acting in its capacity as the Board of the District, should adopt the
attached Resolution which establishes a final millage.
