Motion Text:
The Committee for Quality Education requests the Miami Beach Mayor and Commission look at
Option #3: Dedicated Millage for Public Education, including offset of decrease in debt service
millage, with dedicated millage for education (options below), as a possible source of funding to
sustain and /or enhance education in Miami Beach schools per Finance and Citywide Projects
Committee (FCWPC) memorandum dated March 31, 2017.
• Offsetting any decrease in the debt service millage with a dedicated millage for
education. The renewal and replacement dedicated millage was originally
established in the FY 2004/05 budget by offsetting the decrease of 0.126 in the debt
service millage that year with a dedicated 0.126 mills for renewal and replacement.
As of FY 2016/17, the dedicated millage for renewal and replacement is 0.0235,
estimated to generate $662,000. As an example, in FY 2016/17, the debt service
millage decreased by 0.0235 in FY 2016/17, had this decrease been recaptured as
education millage, it would have generated $662,000.
• Capturing a portion of growth in taxable property values, and establishing a millage
related to those additional revenues. It is anticipated that property values as of
January 1, 2017 (the basis of FY 2016/17 property taxes) will have increased over
January 1, 2016. A portion of the resulting increased revenues could be captured
and expressed as a dedicated millage rate, without increasing the millage rate over
the prior year. Typically, the resulting revenues from growth in property values is used
to offset growth due to inflation as well as fund new initiatives. To the extent some of
the growth is diverted to education funding, it could limit the amount of funding
available for new initiatives.
The Committee for Quality Education urges the Mayor and Commission to support the above request.
