ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution which establishes the tentative operating budget for the District for
Fiscal Year (FY) 2004/05 in the amount of $136,663, subject to a second public hearing to
be held on Tuesday, September 28, 2004.
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 2004/05 represents its
eleventh 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 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 the Florida Statutes. This procedure requires that this
Resolution be considered immediately after the tentative millage for Normandy Shores
District has been adopted (See accompanying Agenda Item R7B1 for details).
ANAL YSIS
The tentative operating budget for the District is as follows:
Revenues
Ad Valorem Tax
City's General Fund
Total
$ 92,301
44.362
$136,663
Expenses
Security Service
Add'l cameras & contingency
Maintenance
Total
$107,200
9,863
19.600
$ 136.663
At the July 28, 2004 Commission meeting, the Mayor and Commission adopted Resolution
2004-25633, which set the proposed operating millage rate for the District at 1.123 mills.
The tentative ad valorem millage recommended by the Administration is 1.003 mills to
provide the current level of security required by this district. This tax levy will generate
proceeds of $82,438. The total operating budget to provide security services at the current
service level to this district is $126,800. 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 $44,362 or 35% of
the total operating budget for current service levels. The General Fund has funded this
difference for each of the ten years since the District was established. The amount
provided by the General Fund for this purpose in FY 2003/04 was $44,042.
In addition, a meeting was held on July 21,2004 between the Normandy Shores Local
Government Neighborhood Improvement Committee and the Administration to discuss
additional needs of the neighborhood. The Committee unanimously approved an increase
to the budget of $9,863 to pay for additional security cameras and a small contingency.
This additional amount will be paid by establishing the millage at the current rate of 1.123
which will generate revenues of $92,301. The difference between the recommended
millage of 1.003 needed to fund current service levels and the 1.123 will generate $9,863
to pay for the security cameras and a small contingency. The District's budget will increase
by $9,863 to $136,663.

CONCLUSION
The City Commission, acting in its capacity as the Board of Directors of the Normandy
Shores Local Government Neighborhood Improvement District, should adopt the attached
Resolution which establishes a tentative operating budget and schedules the second and
