Hudak, City Manager DATE: September 14, 2022 SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, ADOPTING: 1) THE TENTATIVE AD VALOREM MILLAGE OF 5.8155 MILLS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023 FOR GENERAL OPERATING PURPOSES, WHICH IS THIRTEEN AND TWO TENTHS PERCENT (13.2%) MORE THAN THE "ROLLED-BACK" RATE OF 5.1376 MILLS; AND 2) THE DEBT SERVICE MILLAGE RATE OF 0.2360 MILLS, SUBJECT TO A SECOND PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE MILLAGE RATE FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023 ON WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 28, 2022, AT 5:01 P.M. STRATEGIC PLAN SUPPORTED Organizational Innovation— Ensure strong fiscal stewardship ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission adopt the attached Resolution, which authorizes the City Manager to transmit the following information to the Miami- Dade County Property Appraiser: Proposed Millage Rates for Fiscal Year(FY)2023: General Millage 5.6636 mills Capital Renewal & Replacement Millage 0.0499 mills Pay-As-You-Go (PayGo) Millage 0.1020 mills Total General Operating Millage 5.8155 mills Voted Debt Service Millage 0.2360 mills Total Combined Millage 6.0515 mills (same as last year) 1) The tentatively adopted total combined millage rate of 6.0515 mills for FY 2023 reflects no change compared to total combined millage rate of 6.0515 adopted for FY 2022. 2) The second public hearing to consider the final millage rates and budgets for FY 2023 shall be held on Wednesday, September 28, 2022, at 5:01 P.M. Page 1127 of 1700 FY 2023 Proposed Miliege September 14, 2022 Page 2 PROCEDURE Florida Statutes, Section 200.065, requires that at the first public hearing on the proposed tax rate and budget, the City Commission proceed in the following specific manner: 1. Adopt a tentative ad valorem millage rate for FY 2023 general operating purposes. This is accomplished by adopting a Resolution which includes the percentage increase or decrease over the"rolled-back" rate;the required debt service millage rate; and, the date, time, and place of the second public hearing State statute requires that only the title be read aloud. 2. Adopt a tentative general operating budget for FY 2023, which also includes budgets for Enterprise, Internal Service, Special Revenue, G.O. Bond Debt Service Funds, as well as the City Tax Increment Financing (TIF) portion of the City Center RDA and North Beach CRA. This is accomplished by adopting a companion Resolution (see accompanying City Budget Agenda Item). Both the millage and budget Resolutions must be adopted again after a second and final public hearing. MILLAGE RATE ANALYSIS There are two main components to the City's Total Combined millage rate: The Total General Operating millage rate and the Voted Debt Service millage rate. The Total General Operating millage rate, which is comprised of a General, a Capital Renewal and Replacement, and a Pay- As-You-Go (PayGo) millage, funds General Fund operating and capital expenditures, while the Voted Debt Service millage rate funds the annual required debt service for outstanding General Obligation (G.O.) bonds. The proposed Total General Operating millage rate for FY 2023 of 5.8155 mills provides funding to offset increases for personnel costs, such as the annual required pension contributions; a 5 percent(%)Step increase for all Fraternal Order of Police(FOP)and International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) personnel; a 0-3% performance-based merit increase for all non-FOP and IAFF personnel; an increase in the City's health insurance premiums for active employees and retirees; increases in other General Fund operating expenditures; an increase in Capital Renewal and Replacement and PayGo funding for critical Capital needs; and future collective bargaining agreements. The "rolled-back" millage rate of 5.1376 for FY 2023 is the millage rate required to produce the same level of property tax revenues in the General Fund for FY 2023 as anticipated to be received in FY 2022. ANALYSIS OF PROPERTY VALUES IN MIAMI BEACH On July 1, 2022, the City received the 2022 Certification of Taxable Value from the Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser. Overall, as summarized below, the City's property values increased approximately $4.6 billion, or 11.2%, from the 2021 Certified Taxable Values of $41.9 billion to the 2022 Certified Taxable Values of$46.5 billion, which include a $3.9 billion, or 9.5%, increase in existing property values and a$716.4 million increase in new construction values.

Bonds of$2.3 million plus $8.1 million attributed to the first tranche of the G.O. Bonds approved by the voters on November 6, 2018, requires the levy of a Voted Debt Service millage rate of 0.2360 mills. The FY 2023 Voted Debt Service millage rate is 0.0529 mills less than the Voted Debt Service millage rate adopted in FY 2022 of 0.2889 mills, which is proposed to be applied to the Capital Renewal & Replacement and Pay-As-You-Go component of the General Operating millage rate as recommended by the Administration and approved by the Finance and Economic Resiliency Committee (FERC) at its July 15, 2022 Budget Briefing and subsequently adopted by the City Commission on July 20, 2022 through Resolution No 2022-32252.

SOH is an assessment limitation, or"cap,"on increases in the assessed value of a homestead residence. Those increases are limited to 3.0% or the percent change in the CPI (Consumer Price Index), whichever is less. The "cap"goes into effect beginning the year after a homestead exemption is granted. Based on property values as of July 1, 2022,the median value of homesteaded property in Miami Beach is $240,385 while the average is $664,556. The impact of the City's proposed FY 2023 Total Combined millage rate of 6.0515 mills on the median homesteaded property within the City of Miami Beach would be an increase of$119 while the impact to the average value homesteaded property within the City of Miami Beach would be an increase of$578 as summarized in the table below.

While the citywide average increase in property values is 11.2%, the property value of individual properties may increase up to, but not more than 10.0% (excluding the school millage portion of the property tax bill). However, an individual property owner may see a higher than 10.0% increase if there is a change in ownership of a capped property resulting in a reset of the cap. Another potential factor, if applicable, would be the value of new construction which can contribute to a property value increase of higher than 10.0%. OVERLAPPING JURISDICTIONAL OPERATING AND DEBT SERVICE MILLAGE RATES City of Miami Beach property owners must also pay property taxes to Miami-Dade County, the Miami-Dade County School Board, the Children's Trust, the South Florida Water Management District, Okeechobee Basin, Everglades Project, and the Florida Inland Navigational District. For FY 2023, these taxing authorities represent 67.8% of a Miami Beach property owner's tax bill. The proposed FY 2023 countywide tax rate for Miami-Dade County decreased by 0.0467 mills from 4.6669 to 4.6202 mills; the library tax rate decreased by 0.0028 mills from 0.2840 to 0.2812 mills; and the debt service millage decreased by 0.0222 mills from 0.5075 to 0.4853 mills. The tax rate for the Miami-Dade School District decreased by 0.4200 mills from 7.0090 to 6.5890 mills. The Children's Trust tax rate remained flat at 0.5000 mills. Combined, the millage rates for the South Florida Water Management District, Okeechobee Basin, Everglades Project, and Florida Inland Navigational District decreased by 0.0271 mills from 0.2892 to 0.2621 mills. With the proposed rates for FY 2023, the Miami Beach portion of the tax bill is approximately 32.2% of the total tax bill. It is important to note that Miami-Dade Countev's total FY 2023 millage rate of 5.3867 mills is 0.9993 mills, or 15.6%, less than Miami-Dade Counter's total FY 2007 millage rate of 6.3860 mills, as compared to the City's total FY 2023 millage rate of 6.0515 mills that is 1.6215 mills, or 21.1%, less than the Citv's total FY 2007 millage rate of 7.6730 mills. Further, the FY 2023 School Board millage of 6.5890 mills is 1.5160 mills less than the FY 2007 School Board millage of 8.1050 mills. The significant difference in the total overlapping millage Page 1130 of 1700 FY 2023 Proposed Millage September 14, 2022 Page 5 rate is a direct result of the City's continuing effort to keep millage rates as low as possible.

Applying the total combined millage rates proposed for FY 2023 to the median and average taxable values results in a property tax increase of approximately $255 for the median and $1,492 for the average homesteaded residential tax bill in the City of Miami Beach. Median properties would pay approximately $4,517 per homesteaded property for all taxing jurisdictions combined, while the property taxes for average homesteaded residential properties would be approximately $12,487 per homesteaded property. Of the taxing jurisdictions, the highest component is the Miami-Dade School Board at$1,584 for a median valued homesteaded property and $4,379 for an average valued homesteaded property in the City of Miami Beach. The following table provides a summary of changes in the property taxes levied for homesteaded properties using the tax rates proposed for FY 2023 by jurisdiction.

Historical Perspective The table below outlines the City's millage rate trend.

Under the Florida Statute,the City is required,within 35 days of receipt of the"Certification of Taxable Value" (received July 1, 2022), to advise the Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser of the proposed Total General Operating millage rate, the calculated "rolled-back" rate and the date, time, and place of the first public hearing to consider the proposed millage rates and budgets for FY 2023. The required Voted Debt Service millage rate must also be set at the same time as the Total General Operating millage rate. After setting the proposed FY 2023 millage rate,the Mayor and City Commission may,at any time prior to final adoption, lower the proposed millage rates. However, increasing the proposed millage rate may only be accomplished by completing an expensive mailing and advertising process to every property owner in the City of Miami Beach. The City's proposed millage rates, as well as those of other taxing authorities, will be included in the Truth-in-Millage (TRIM) statement sent to each property owner in the City of Miami Beach by the Miami Dade County Property Appraiser on August 24, 2022. MAXIMUM MILLAGE DETERMINATION For FY 2023, the Total General Operating millage rate is proposed at 5.8155 mills, which reflects an adjustment of 0.0529 mills based on the realignment of the FY 2023 Voted Debt Service millage rate reduction of 0.0529 mills. Based on the July 1, 2022 Certification of Taxable Value received from the Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser,the levy of 5.8155 mills would generate approximately $226.5 million in General Fund property tax revenues, which is an increase of approximately $26.9 million over the budgeted FY 2022 General Fund property tax revenues of $199.6 million (net of the City Center RDA and newly created North Beach CRA). Page 1133 of 1700 FY 2023 Proposed Millage September 14, 2022 Page 8 Adoption of the proposed Total General Operating millage rate of 5.8155 mills for FY 2023 requires a majority approval (4 of 7 votes) by the Mayor and City Commission per the State of Florida's Truth-in-Millaqe (TRIM) requirements. By August 4,2022,the City Manager certified the proposed millage rate to the Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser. The proposed millage rate was included in the TRIM notices that were mailed by the Property Appraiser on or before August 24, 2022. The purpose of the TRIM notice is to notify property owners of how much their property taxes could potentially increase or decrease, and which governmental entity is responsible for the taxes levied. As such, the proposed millage rate effectively sets the "ceiling" for the millage rate during the budget process because it cannot be increased without sending out a new TRIM notice to all property owners in the City of Miami Beach. However, the millage rate can remain the same or be decreased throughout the remainder of the budget process until the final millage rates are adopted by the Mayor and City Commission at the second public hearing scheduled to be held on Wednesday, September 28, 2022, at 5:01 p.m. SECOND PUBLIC HEARING The second public hearing on the tentatively adopted millage rate and budget for FY 2023 must be advertised no later than 15 days after the first public hearing. For this reason,the second public hearing has been set for Wednesday, September 28, 2022, at 5:01 P.M., in the City Commission Chambers, City Hall, 1700 Convention Center Drive, 3rd Floor, Miami Beach, Florida 33139. CONCLUSION The Administration recommends adoption of the attached Resolution, which sets both the tentative total general operating and voted debt service millage rates for FY 2023 at 5.8155 mills and 0.2360 mills, respectively, and sets the date, time, and place of the second public hearing to be held on Wednesday, September 28, 2022, at 5:01 P.M.
