ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that 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 following:
1) Final adopted millage rate for the Normandy Shores Neighborhood Improvement
District for FY 2003/04:
General Operating 1.123 mills
(1.194 mills last year)
2) Final adopted millage rate of 1.123 mills is 4.6% greater than the "Rolled-back" Rate of
1.074 mills.
The first public hearing on the tentative Normandy Shores District millage rate and budget for
FY 2003/04 was held on September 4, 2003. The millage rates presented herein are those
which were tentatively adopted at the end of the first public hearing held on that day.
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 2003/04 represents its tenth 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". However, on August 29, 2002, the
Administration met with the Normandy Shores Local Government Neighborhood Improvement

Normandy Shores FY 2003/04 Final Millage
September 18, 2003

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.
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. The City Attorney's Office is reviewing the
issue regarding the dependent status of the District. It was further agreed that the City would
continue to supplement the District at current levels until both issues were resolved.
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, i.e., City of Miami
Beach.
It also prescribes that a final millage be adopted first. This is accomplished by adopting a
Resolution which states the percent increase or decrease 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 adoption of the
millage resolution.
ANALYSIS
On September 4, 2003, the Mayor and City Commission adopted Resolution 2003-25313 which
set the tentative ad valorem millage at 1.123 mills to provide the level of security required by
this District. This tax levy will generate proceeds of $81,758. The total operating budget to
provide security services to this District is $125,800. This is comparable to the current year end
projections. The difference between the revenues which will be generated from ad-valorem tax
proceeds and the total budgetary requirement of the District must be supplemented by a
contribution from the General Fund in the amount of $44,042 or 35% of the total operating
budget. The General Fund has funded this difference for each of the nine years since the
District was established. The amount provided by the General Fund for this purpose in FY
2002/2003 was $42,000.
CONCLUSION
The City Commission, acting in its capacity as the Board of Directors of the District, should
adopt the attached Resolution which establishes a final millage.
