Item Summary/Rpr_nmmanria+inn•
On July 1, 2010, the City received the 2010 Certification of Taxable Value from the Property Appraiser's
Office stating that the taxable value for Normandy Shores is $101,983,135, which includes $1,289,587 due
to new construction, renovation, etc. The preliminary value represents a decrease of $15,726,022 from the
July 1, 2009 Certification of taxable value of $117,709,157 (13.4 percent) and a decrease of 13.5 percent
over 2009's final value of $117,832,096.
I
On July 14, 2010, the City administration had proposed a millage of 1.0957, sufficient to cover the
$163,317 current service level budget and offset the 13.5% decline in property values for Normandy
Shores. The proposed millage rate failed to obtain the 5/7 vote required for the millage rate of 1.0957,
therefore the millage was approved at 1.0375 (simple majority vote).
The revised proposed ad valorem millage of 1.0375 mills will generate proceeds of $100,517, or $5,639
less in revenues to pay for security services required by this district. The effect on the District is a shortfall
in the budget of $5,639. The City of Miami Beach General Fund is required to provide 35% of the total
operating expenditures ($57,161), and the City has funded the 35% for each of the seventeen years since
the District was established. With the decrease in the millage, the City's portion would decrease to
$54,126, for a total shortfall of $8,674.

as the Board of Directors for the Normandy Shores Local Government Neighbofiood
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 2010/11:
General Operating 1.0375 mills (0.8567 mills last year) j

BACKGROUND
The Normandy Shores Local Government Neighborhood Improvement District (the 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 2010/11 represents its
seventeenth year of operation.

The District 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 District Budget Agenda item for
details).
I
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, 2010, the City received the 2010 Certification of Taxable Value from the Property
Appraiser's Office stating that the taxable value for Normandy Shores is $101,983,135,
which includes $1,289,587 due to new construction, renovation, etc. The preliminary value
represents a decrease of $15,726,022 from the July 1, 2009 Certification of taxable value of
$117,709,157 (13.4 percent) and a decrease of 13.5 percent over 2009's final value of
$117,832,096.
i I
Section 200.065 of Florida Statutes specifies the method by which municipalities may fix the
operating millage rate and adopt an annual budget for dependent taxing districts. The
maximum millage that can be approved by a simple majority (4/7) vote is based on property
tax revenue in prior years adjusted for changes in per capita Florida; personal income
growth. For FY 2010/11, the maximum millage rate is 1.0375. State Statute allows for a
10% above maximum millage with a 5/7 vote.

On July 14, 2010, the City administration had proposed a millage of 1.0957, sufficient to
cover the $163,317 current service level budget and offset the 13.5% decline in property
values for Normandy Shores. The proposed millage rate failed to obtain the 5/7 vote
required for the millage rate of 1.0957, therefore the millage was approved at 1.0375 (simple
majority vote).
The revised proposed ad valorem millage of 1.0375 mills will generate proceeds of
$100,517, or $5,639 less in revenues to pay for security services required by this district.
The effect on the District is a shortfall in the budget of $5,639. The City of Miami Beach
General Fund is required to provide 35% of the total operating expenditures ($57,161), and
the City has funded the 35% for each of the seventeen years since the District was
established. With the decrease in the millage, the City's portion would decrease to $54,126,
for a total shortfall of $8,674.
i
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 2010 Certification of Taxable Value and
has been set at $101,983. 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
$96,884. Accordingly, 1.0375 mills will generate $100,517 in property tax revenues for the
district. ii
The rolled-back rate is the millage rate required to produce the same level of property ta'x
revenue in FY 2010/11 as collected in FY 2009/10. The rate is calculated as 1.0025 or
0.1458 mills more than the millage rate adopted for FY 2009/10. ~
I ~
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 (1.0375) and the principal taxing authority (6.2155) totals 7.253 mills, which is 2.74
mills less than the 10 mill cap.
CONCLUSION .
The City Commission, acting in its capacity as the Board of Directors of the District, shy
adopt the attached Resolution which establishes a tentative millage and schedules
second and final public hearing.
