On July 1, 2009, the City received the 2009 Certification of Taxable Value from the Property Appraiser's
Office stating that the taxable value for Normandy Shores is $117,709,157, which includes $1,614,484 due
to new construction, renovation, etc. The preliminary value represents a decrease of $26,465,604 from the
July 1, 2008 Certification of taxable value of $144,174,761 (18.4 percent) and a decrease of 16.9 percent
over 2008's final value of $141,638,632.
The proposed ad valorem millage recommended by the Administration is 0.8567 mills to provide the
current level of security required by this district. This tax levy will generate proceeds of $95,795. The total
operating expenditures to provide the current service level to this district is $147,377 for FY 2009/10. The
City of Miami Beach General Fund is required to provide 35% of the total operating expenditures
($51,582), and the City has funded the 35% for each of the sixteen years since the District was
established. The amount provided by the General Fund for this purpose in FY 2008/09 was $53,297. The
rolled-back rate is the millage rate required to produce the same level of property tax revenue in FY
2009/10 as collected in FY 2008/09. The rate is calculated as 0.8817 or 0.159 mills more than the millage
rate adopted for FY 2008/09.

COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Matti Herrera Bower and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Jorge M. Gonzalez, City Manager
DATE: September 10, 2009
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE NORMANDY
SHORES LOCAL GOVERNMENT NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT
ADOPTING THE TENTATIVE AD VALOREM MILEAGE OF 0.8567 MILLS FOR
FISCAL YEAR (FY) 2009/10 FOR THE NORMANDY SHORES LOCAL
GOVERNMENT DISTRICT, WHICH IS TWO AND FOUR-FIFTH PERCENT
(2.8%) LESS THAN THE "ROLLED-BACK" RATE OF 0.8817 MILLS, SUBJECT
TO A SECOND PUBLIC HEARING SCHEDULED ON THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER
24, 2009 AT 5:02 P.M.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission, acting in its capacity
as the Board of Directors for the Normandy Shores Local Government Neighborhood
Improvement District, adopt the attached resolution which sets the following:
1) The tentatively adopted millage rate of the Normandy Shores Neighbofiood
Improvement District for FY 2009/10:
General Operating 0.8567 mills (0.7227 mills last year)
2) The tentatively adopted millage rate of 0.8567 mills is 2.8% less than the
"Rolled-Back" Rate of 0.8817 mills
3) The second public hearing to consider the final Normandy Shores
Neighbofiood Improvement District operating millage rate and tentative
budget for FY 2009/10 shall be held on Thursday, September 24, 2009 at
5:02 P.M., in the City Commission Chambers, City Hall, 1700 Convention
Center Drive, Miami Beach, Florida.
BACKGROUND
The Normandy Shores Local Govemment Neighbofiood 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 2009/10 represents its sixteenth year
of operation.

September 10, 2009
Page 2 of 3
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" 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
gate guard. This cost will eventually be funded from the golf course operation of the
Normandy Shores Golf Course. It was further agreed that the City would continue to
supplement the District at current levels until both issues were resolved. 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.
PROCEDURE
The operating millage and budget for this dependent special taxing district must be adopted
in accordance with Florida Statutes. This procedure requires that this Resolution be
considered immediately after the millage and budget of the principal taxing authority, i.e.,
City of Miami Beach.
It also prescribes that a tentative millage be adopted first. This is accomplished by adopting
a Resolution which states the percent increase or decrease over the "Rolled-back" rate, and
the date, time, and place of the second public hearing scheduled to adopt the final millage.
Following this, another Resolution which tentatively adopts the Normandy Shores District
operating budget must be approved. (See accompanying Agenda item R7B1 for details).
The statute requires the name of the taxing authority, the rolled-back rate, the percentage
increase, and the millage rate be publicly announced before adoption of the millage
resolution.
ANALYSIS
On July 1, 2009, the City received the 2009 Certification of Taxable Value from the Property
Appraiser's Office stating that the taxable value for Normandy Shores is $117,709,157,
which includes $1,614,484 due to new construction, renovation etc.. The preliminary value
represents a decrease of $26,465,604 from the July 1, 2008 Certification of taxable value of
$144,174,761 (18.4 percent) and a decrease of 16.9 percent over 2008's final value of
$141,638,632.
The proposed ad valorem millage recommended by the Administration is 0.8567 mills to
provide the current level of security required by this district. This tax levy will generate
proceeds of $95,795. The total operating expenditures to provide the current service level
to this district is $147,377 for FY 2009/10. The City of Miami Beach General Fund is
required to provide 35% of the total operating expenditures ($51,582), and the City has
funded the 35% for each of the sixteen years since the District was established. The
amount provided by the General Fund for this purpose in FY 2008/09 was $53,297. The
$147,377 in FY 2009/10 represents a $4,901 decrease (3.2%) from the FY 2008/09 budget
of $152,278.
FY 2009/10 Normandy Shores Tentative Millage Rate
September 10, 2009
Page 3 of 3
For the Normandy Shores taxing District, the value for each mill ($1.00 of ad valorem tax for
each $1,000 of property value) is determined by the 2009 Certification of Taxable Value and
has been set at $117,709. 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
$111,823. Accordingly, 0.8567 mills are required to generate $95,795 in property tax
revenues by the district.
It must be noted that in accordance with State Statute, there is a 10 mill operating cap which
cannot be exceeded without voter approval. Combining both millages from the dependent
district (0.8567) and the principal taxing authority (5.6555) totals 6.5122 mills, which is
3.4878 mills less than the 10 mill cap.
CONCLUSION
The City Commission, acting in its capacity as the Board of Directors of the District, should
adopt the attached Resolution which establishes a tentative millage and schedules the
second and final public hearing.
