AYOR Matti Herrera Bower ATTEST: CITY CLERK Robert Parcher APPROVED AS TO FORM & LANGUAGE & FO,R, EXECUTION COMMISSION ITEM SUMMARY Condensed Title: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, ADOPTING: 1) THE TENTATIVE AD VALOREM MILEAGE OF 5.6555 MILLS FOR GENERAL OPERATING PURPOSES, WHICH ISFOUR-TENTHS OF ONE PERCENT (0.4%) MORE THAN THE "ROLLED-BACK" RATE OF 5.6349 MILLS; AND 2) THE DEBT SERVICE MILEAGE RATE OF 0.2375 MILLS; FURTHER SETTING THE SECOND PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE MILEAGE RATE FOR FISCAL YEAR (FY) 2008/09, ON WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 2008 AT 5:01 P. M Intended outcome Ensure expenditure trends are sustainable over the long term; Improve the City's overall financial health and maintain overall bond ratin ;Increase communit satisfaction with cit services Supporting Data (Surveys, Environmental Scan, etc.): In the 2007 survey, 46% of residents and 55% of businesses rated the value of city services fortax dollars paid as excellent or good. The value of city services for tax dollars paid appeared as a key driver for residents' perceptions of overall quality of life and city government meeting their needs; one of the areas most important to resident's quality of life; and for businesses' perceptions of City government; its interest in hearing their concerns, Miami Beach as a place to run a business, and whether the City is doing better, the same, or worse versus a few years ago. The Adopted FY 2007/08 General Fund Operating Budget reduced the City's total millage rate by 1.7760 mills to a rate of 5.8970 mills, an unprecedented 23% decrease in millage, a reduction of $44 million in property tax revenues based on the FY 2006/07 millage rate, and a reduction of $17.5 million (11%) from FY 2006/07 budgeted property tax revenues. The adopted FY 2007/08 budget identified re-organizational efficiencies; removed departmental contingencies; significantly reduced overtime, travel, training, subscriptions, supplies, contracts, etc.; and strategically reduced services that were not as closely aligned with our strategic plan or that had not been as successful in achieving desired results -reducing $20.7 million and almost 100 positions (86 full-time and 7part-time). Between FY 1999/2000 & FY 2007/08 City of Miami Beach Total Combined Millage decreased by 2.8 mills (11.8%) to 5.6555. In FY 2007/08, total millage for all taxing jurisdictions within the City of Miami Beach was 20.1746, and remains lower than most munici alities in Miami-Dade Count . Issue: Shall the Mayor and City Commission adopt the resolution? Item Summa /Recommendation: The Administration is recommending reducing the City's total combined millage rate to 5.8930 for FY 2008/09, a reduction of 0.004 mills and 0.1 percent. The tentative operating millage is maintained at 5.6555 mills, including a general operating millage rate of 5.5472 and a General Fund Capital Renewal and Replacement millage of 0.1083. The proposed debt service millage rate is reduced from 0.2415 to 0.2375, a reduction of 1.7 percent. The rollback rate is the millage rate required to produce the same level of Citywide property tax revenues in FY 2008/09 as collected in FY 2007/08 and is calculated as 5.6349, 0.0206 mills less than the millage rate adopted for FY 2007/08. Adviso Board Recommendation: Financial Information: Source of Amount Account Funds: ~ 2 OBPI Total Financial Impact Summary: In FY 2007/08, the operating millage rate for general City operations was adopted at 5.6555. Based on the July 1, 2008 Certification of Taxable Value, 5.6555 mills would generate approximately $144,519,307 million in tax revenues, an increase of $261,307 over current year budgeted property tax revenues Citywide (General Fund, City Center RDA and the South Pointe area). However, the General Fund property tax revenues will decrease by $1.4 million. This decrease in General Fund property tax revenue precludes the Cit from absorbin normal increases in Sala and frin es and other normal increases due to inflation.

Gonzalez, City Manager DATE: September 8, 2008 SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, ADOPTING: 1) THE TENTATIVE AD VALOREM MILEAGE OF 5.6555 MILLS FOR GENERAL OPERATING PURPOSES, WHICH IS FOUR-TENTHS OF ONE PERCENT (0.4%) MORE THAN THE "ROLLED-BACK" RATE OF 5.6349 MILLS; AND 2) THE DEBT SERVICE MILEAGE RATE OF 0.2375 MILLS; FURTHER SETTING THE SECOND PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE MILEAGE RATE FOR FISCAL YEAR (FY) 2008/09, ON WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 2008 AT 5:01 P. M. ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution which sets the following: 1) Tentatively adopted millage rates for Fiscal Year (FY) 2008/09: General Operating 5.5472 mills Capital Renewal & Replacement 0.1083 mills Sub-Total Operating Millage 5.6555 mills (no change from FY 2007/08) Debt Service 0.2375 mills (0.2415 last year, 1.7°/o decrease) Total 5.8930 mills (5.8970 last year, 0.1 % decrease) 2) The tentatively adopted combined millage rate of 5.8930 mills is 0.004 mills less than the 5.8970 combined millage rate for FY 2007/08. The tentatively adopted operating millage rate for FY 2008/09 is 5.6555 mills. State statute requires that we advertise that this rate is 0.4°/o more than the "Rolled-back" rate of 5.6349 mills. 3) The second public hearing to consider the final millage rates and budgets for FY 2008/09 shall be on Wednesday, September 17, 2008 at 5:01 P.M., in the City Commission Chambers, City Hall, 1700 Convention Center Drive. The rollback rate is the millage rate required to produce the same level of property tax revenues in FY 2008/09 as collected in FY 2007/08, net of the impacts of Florida Constitution Amendment 1 approved in January 2008 which reduced the City's taxable values by $463 million and property tax revenues by approximately $2.6 million. Amendment 1 provided constitutional changes to the homestead exemption and changes in the assessment of affordable housing, working waterfronts FY 2008/09 Tentative Millage September 8, 2008 Page 2 and a $25,000 exemption of tangible personal property. The rollback rate is calculated by dividing the prior year property tax revenues by the current year property values, after new construction, major improvements, annexations, deletions and tax increment districts are removed from current year property values. Under the recently enacted State legislation, the City may elect to approve millage rates above the roll-back rate up to the constitutional cap of 10 mills subject to an extraordinary vote by the Commission or referendum: • Millage up to 5.7436 (equivalent to a 4.15% increase in Property Tax revenues, net of the impact of Amendment 1) requires majority of the approval of the Commission • Millage up to 6.4643 (equivalent to a 10% increase in Property Tax revenues, net of the impact of Amendment 1)requires atwo-thirds approval (5 of 7 votes) of the Commission • Millage above 6.4643 requires unanimous approval of the Commission or referendum up to the 10 mill cap. PROCEDURE Florida Statutes 200.065 requires that at the conclusion of the first public hearing on the proposed tax rate and budget, the City Commission proceed in the following specific manner: Adopt a tentative ad valorem millage rate for FY 2008/09 operating purposes. This is accomplished by adopting a Resolution that includes the percentage increase ordecrease 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 2008/09. Also included, are budgets for the Enterprise and Internal Service Funds. This is accomplished by adopting a companion Resolution. (See accompanying Agenda Item R7A2). Both the millage and budget Resolutions must be adopted again after a second and final public hearing. Procedurally, a millage either greater than or less than 5.6555 mills may be adopted at this first hearing. However, any millage rate adopted at the end of either the first or second public hearings which exceeds the millage rate of 5.6555 mills established on July 16, 2008, and certified to the Property Appraiser, would require mailing of a revised notice of property taxes to each taxpayer. The notice would be prepared by the Property Appraiser, at the expense of the taxing authority. ANALYSIS OF PROPERTY VALUES IN MIAMI BEACH On July 1, 2008, the City received the "2008 Certification of Taxable Value" from the Property Appraiser's Office stating that the taxable value for the City of Miami Beach is $26,898,698,386, including $204,624,492 in new construction. The preliminary 2008 value represents an increase of $48.6 million or 0.2 percent over 2007's June 29 Certification of Taxable Value of $26,850,061,663 and is net of the $463 million impact of Amendment 1, a 1.9 percent impact. FY 2008/09 Tentative Millage September 8, 2008 Page 3 The comparative assessed values for the Miami Beach Redevelopment Agency City Center redevelopment district increased from $3,585,310,480, to $3,707,103,133, an increase of $121,792,653, or a 3.4 percent increase in values over2007 certified values. In addition, assessed values within the geographic area formerly known as the South Pointe redevelopment district increased from $3,452,319,916, to $3,684,154,640, an increase of $231,834,724, or a 6.7 percent increase in values over 2007 certified values. As a result, taxable values in the areas outside the City Center RDA/South Pointe area decreased by 1.5 percent, from $19.812 billion to 19.507 billion, a decrease of $305 million. COMPARATIVE ASSESSED VALUES (in billions) Jan. 1 2007 Value Jan. 1 2008 Value As of June 29 2007 (For FY 2007/08 Bud et Final Value (For FY 2007/08 Pro~ection As of July 1 2008 (For 2008/09 Bud et % Change from 2007 Value Bud et % Change from Final Value RDA - Cit Center 3.5853 3.4658 3.7071 3.4% 7.0% South Pointe Area 3.4523 3.4148 3.6842 6.7% 7.9% General Fund 19.8124 19.2555 19.5074 -1.5% 1.3% Total Cit ide 26.8500 26.1361 26.8987 0.2% 2.9% Further, "2008 Certification of Taxable Value" from the Property Appraiser's Office, also decreased the estimated "2007 Taxable Value" from $26.850 billion to $26.136 billion, a decrease of $714 million. This difference between 2007's preliminary and final values represents the loss of 2.7 percent due to appeals, value adjustments, etc., while prior year differences have been less than 1 percent. This is in addition to typical discounts due to early payments that have averaged about 3 percent per year. The majority of this loss occurred in areas outside the City Center Redevelopment District and the South Pointe area, and is higher than historic levels for the second year. As a result, property tax revenues in FY 2007/08 are anticipated to be approximately $1.5 million less than budgeted. As with Citywide values, 2007 Taxable Values for City Center and the South Pointe area, were revised to $3,465,784,338 and $3,414,814,691, adecrease of $119.5 million (3.3 percent) and $37.5 million (1.1 percent), respectively, as of July 1, 2008. Determining the Operating Millage Levy The first building block in developing a municipal budget is the establishment of the value of one mill of taxation, wherein the mill is defined as $1.00 of ad valorem tax for each $1,000 of property value. For the City of Miami Beach, this value for each mill is determined by the 2008 Certification of Taxable Value and has been set at $26,898,698,386. Florida Statutes permit a discount of up to five percent for early payment discounts, delinquencies, etc. Therefore, the 95 percent value of the mill is $25,553,763. The 95 percent value of 1 mill outside the City Center RDA/South Pointe area is $18,866,667. Based on the proposed operating millage rate of 5.6555, the combined tax levy for General Fund, City Center and the South Pointe area is $144,519,307, an increase of $261,307 over budgeted FY 2008/09 Tentative Millage September 8, 2008 Page 4 property tax revenues for FY 2007/08 net of debt service. However, due to the decrease in property values outside of City Center RDA and the South Pointe area, property tax revenues available Citywide, net of renewal and replacement funding, are projected to decrease by $1 million. General Obligation Debt Service Fund The general obligation debt service payment for FY 2008/09 is approximately $6.1 million, reflecting a decrease of $92,107. Base on the July 1, 2008 Certified Taxable Value from the Property Appraiser, these bonds would require the levy of a reduced debt service millage of 0.2375 mills. This represents a reduction of 0.0040 mills. Total Combined Millage Rates Illustrated below is a comparison of the combined millage rates and ad valorem revenues to the City of Miami Beach for FY 2007/08 (final) and FY 2008/09 (preliminary) including RDA. It is recommended that in the General Fund, 0.1083 mills of the total operating millage be dedicated to renewal and replacement, resulting in $2.219 million in renewal and replacement funding.

The resulting City of Miami Beach tax levy for debt service and operating combined, including the City Center RDA and the South Pointe area is $150.6 million, of which $6.1 million is for debt service; $18.3 million is forthe City Center RDA; $10.3 million and $9.2 million are generated from the South Pointe area and are available to the General Fund pursuant to the Convention Development Tax (CDT) Interlocal Agreement with Miami-Dade County for South Pointe expenditures and Citywide General Fund expenditures, respectively; and $106.7 million is available to the General Fund net of the City Center RDA and South Pointe area. Combining Jurisdictional Operating and Debt Service Millage Levies City of Miami Beach property owners must also pay property taxes to Miami-Dade County, the Miami-Dade County School Board, the South Florida Water Management District, and the Florida Inland Navigation District. As adopted by the County at their July 17 Commission meeting, the countywide tax rate is proposed to increase from 4.5796 mills to 4.8733 mills. The library tax rate is proposed to remain unchanged from 0.3842 mills. The Children's Trust tax rate is proposed to decrease from 0.4223 mills to 0.4212 mills. The School Board Tax millage is proposed to decrease from 7.9480 to 7.7970. Proposed tax rates for otherjurisdictions are unavailable at this time and are shown as unchanged.

For 2007, the CPI has been determined to be 4.1 percent and therefore, the increase is capped at 3% for increased values as of January 1, 2008. Further, all taxing jurisdictions, except the school district, reflect the impact of the additional $25,000 exemption for homesteaded properties. The homestead exemption is applied after the increase in value as shown in the following table. For a typical homesteaded property with a median value as of January 1 2007 of $353,770, the Miami Beach portion of the tax bill, which represents 28% of the total tax bill, would decrease by $86 although, due to tax increases from other jurisdictions, the total bill would decrease by only $52.
