BACKGROUND: This ordinance is being presented for second reading and the scheduled public hearing. ANALYSIS: District Boundaries The boundaries of the district will encompass the northern portion of the Isle of Normandy beginning at the intersection of North Shore and Fairway Drives to include all parcels west with Indian Creek as the northern boundary following the shoreline to the Normandy Waterway and including all parcels north of the Normandy Waterway in an easterly direction to the intersection of Ray Street and South Shore Drive. The boundaries of the District encompass 352 single family homes situated around the Normandy Shores Golf Course. (Exhibit A) Estimated Cost for Security The estimated cost to provide this additional security is $80,000. This will include 24 hour guard coverage at the gate-house, repair and maintenance of the movable gates and related operating costs. (Exhibit B) Funding The Ordinance permits the Board of the District to levy an ad valorem tax of up to 2 mills on real and personal property per year but not to exceed $500 per parcel of property per year. The proceeds of this ad valorem tax levy will be used to pay for implementation and maintenance and operation of improvements within the District. The ordinance also authorizes the Board of the District to levy an additional special assessment of up to $500 per parcel of property, subject to referendum approval. (];4 . AG,~~~~R -3- tL DATE --' 0 -LO-E13... commission Memorandum - October 20, 1993 Normandy Shores The $500 limitation on the ad valorem tax levy will limit the millage rate that can be levied on the District. This millage rate of 1.054 mills is determined from the value of the property with the highest taxable assessed value (after a $25,000 Homestead exemption) within the District. This parcel of property, as of the July 1, 1993 preliminary certification from the Dade County Property Appraiser has a taxable assessed value of $474,064. In order to pay no more than $500 per year, the ad valorem tax levy cannot exceed 1.054 mills on this parcel of property. Based on an ad valorem tax levy of 1.054 mills, this property owner will pay $499.66 per year tor the proposed services. Further, state Law requires that the millage levy within a district be uniform. Therefore, the property which has the lowest taxable assessed value of $54,762 will pay $58 per year based on an ad valorem tax levy of 1. 054 mills. The total taxable assessed value of the 351 parcels of property within the District is $49.6 million which will generate tax revenues of $52,000 based on an ad valorem tax levy of 1.054 mills. The estimated annual operating and maintenance cost of $80,000 will be supplemented by an estimated annual payment of $28,000 from the Normandy Shores Golf Course which will benefit from the additional security. This payment will be made from the Parks Division. There will be no impact on fees charged to golfers as a result of this cost. In order to comply with the provisions of State of Florida Truth in Millage requirements, this ad valorem tax will be levied for the fiscal year beginning October 1, 1994. The ad valorem tax levy will be for the tax roll established for the District as of January 1, 1994 and will be based on the preliminary certification of value of the District as determined by the Dade County Property Appraiser as of July 1, 1994. Further, this ad valorem tax levy will be subject to two public hearings prior to any tax levy by the District Board. These hearings will be incorporated into the annual budget process. CONCLUSION: The City Commission should adopt the attached ordinance creating the Normandy Shores Neighborhood Improvement District, thereby providing for the improved health, safety and general welfare of the residents within the district.
