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 MILLAGE OF 6.2155 MILLS FOR GENERAL OPERATING
PURPOSES, WHICH IS FIVE AND THREE - TENTHS PERCENT (5.3 %) MORE THAN THE "ROLLED- BACK" RATE
OF 5.9029 MILLS; AND 2) THE DEBT SERVICE MILLAGE RATE OF 0.2884 MILLS; FURTHER SETTING THE
SECOND PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE MILLAGE RATE FOR FISCAL YEAR (FY) 2011/12, ON
TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 2011 AT 5:01 P. M.
Key Intended Outcome Supported:
Minimize taxes; Control Costs of payroll including salary and fringes; ensure expenditure trends are sustainable
over the long term; Improve the City's overall financial health and maintain overall bond rating; Increase
community satisfaction with city services
Supporting Data (Surveys, Environmental Scan, etc.):
• In the 2009 survey, 65% of residents and 55% of businesses rated the value of city services for tax dollars paid as
excellent or good, and higher (73.5% excellent or good) among those residents understanding that only a portion of
their property tax bill goes to fund city services. Resident ratings improved 19% compared to 2007 and 15%
compared to 2005. Business ratings remain steady compared to 2007, but improved by 14% compared to 2005.
• Over the last several years, the City of Miami Beach has adopted budgets that provided tax and fee relief while at
the same time providing improving services that address community priorities (e.g. public safety, cleanliness,
landscaping and beautification, recreation and cultural arts programming, renewal and replacement funding for our
facilities, and building /development functions). In FY 2007/08 alone, the property tax rate declined by approximately
1.8 mills, with savings to the average property owner of over $400. In addition, in FY 2005/06 and FY 2006/07, the
City funded $200 and $300 "homeowner dividends" paid to homesteaded property owners in the City.
• However, recent years have been more challenging due to declines in property values and increasing costs,
particularly pension costs. Since FY 2007/08, property values have declined $4.9 billion, approximately 18 percent,
despite almost $3 billion in new construction added to the roll. Without the new construction, the decline in values
would be even greater, at 29 percent. Outside the City Center RDA, which impacts General Fund Property Tax 1
revenues, the decline in values is even more significant at 20 percent, even after new construction.
• The July 1, 2010 Certification of Taxable Value from the Miami -Dade County Property Appraiser reflects a more
modest decline of $0.1265 billion or 0.6 percent decline in property values, and a decline of 1.2 percent excluding
new construction. The decline outside the City Center Redevelopment area which impacts General Fund property
tax revenues was 0.8 percent.
Issue:
Shall the Mayor and City Commission adopt the resolution? I
Item Summary /Recommendation:
The total proposed tentative operating millage is kept flat from FY 2010/11 at 6.2155 mills, including a general
operating millage rate of 6.1072 and a General Fund Capital Renewal and Replacement millage of 0.1083. The voted
debt service millage rate is increased from 0.2870 to 0.2884.
The administration is continuing to evaluate opportunities to further reduce the millage, with the potential for
additional changes at the second public hearing on Tuesday September 27, 2011 -- for every $180,000 reduction to
the proposed FY 2011/12 General Fund budget, the FY 2011/12 millage can be reduced by 0.01 mills.

COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Matti Herrera Bower and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Jorge M. Gonzalez, City Manager i
DATE: September 14, 2011
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI
BEACH, FLORIDA, ADOPTING: 1) THE TENTATIVE AD VALOREM MILLAGE OF
6.2155 MILLS FOR GENERAL OPERATING PURPOSES, WHICH IS FIVE AND
THREE - TENTHS PERCENT (5.3 %) MORE THAN THE "ROLLED- BACK" RATE OF

FURTHER SETTING THE SECOND PUBLIC HEARING TO CONSIDER THE MILLAGE
RATE FOR FISCAL YEAR (FY) 2011/12, ON TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 2011 AT
5:01 P. M.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution which
sets the following:
1) Proposed Millage Rates for FY 2011/12:
General Operating 6.1072 mills
Capital Renewal & Replacement 0.1083 mills
Sub -Total Operating Millage 6.2155 mills (6.2155 FY 2010/11, 0.0 increase)
Voted Debt Service 0.2884 mills (0.2870 FY 2010/11, 0.0014 increase)
Total 6.5039 mills (6.5025 FY 2010/11, 0.0014 increase)
2) The tentatively adopted combined millage rate of 6.5039 mills is 0.0014 mills more than the
6.5025 combined millage rate for FY 2010/11. The tentatively adopted operating millage of
6.2155 mills for FY 2011/12 is 0.3126 mills more than the roll -back rate of 5.9029, and thus,
the City is required to publish a Notice of Tax Increase.
3) The second public hearing to consider the final millage rates and budgets for FY 2011/12
shall be on Tuesday September 27, 2011 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 2011/12 as collected in FY 2010/11. 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. It is important to note, that the January 1, 2010 tax roll Citywide declined by
almost $1.4 billion between the July 1, 2010 valuation and the July 1, 2011 valuation due to
FY 2011/12 Tentative Millage
September 14, 2011
Page 2
appeals, adjustments, etc„ which resulted in the FY 2011/12 "roll -back rate" being less than the FY
2010/11 current millage rate. The area outside of City Center RDA declined by almost $1 billion.
While the administration is continuing to evaluate opportunities to further reduce the millage, it is
recommended that the Mayor and Commission adopt the tentative operating and debt service
millage rates, with the potential for additional changes at the second public hearing to consider the
final millage rates for FY 2011/12 on Tuesday September 27, 2011. For every $180,000 reduction
to the proposed FY 2011/12 General Fund budget, the FY 2011/12 millage can be reduced by 0.01
mills.
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:
• Option I: A majority of the approval of the Commission Millage is required to approve a millage
up to 8.1906 (equivalent to a 0.55% increase in ad valorem proceeds allowed by a majority
vote, net of the impact of the Tax Increment Districts). The adjustment of 0.55% reflects the
statewide per capita personal income increase for the prior year
• Option II: A two- thirds approval (5 of 7 votes) of the Commission is required to approve a
millage up to 9.0097 (equivalent to a 10% increase in the ad valorem revenues above Option I).
• Option III: A unanimous approval of the Commission or referendum is required to approve a
millage above 9.0097 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:
1. Adopt a tentative ad valorem millage rate for FY 2011/12 operating purposes. This is
accomplished by adopting a Resolution that includes the percentage increase or decrease
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 2011/12. Also included, are budgets for
the Enterprise and Internal Service Funds. This is accomplished by adopting a companion
Resolution. (See accompanying City Budget Agenda Item).
Both the millage and budget Resolutions must be adopted again after a second and final public
hearing.
SUMMARY
The Administration is recommending a total combined millage rate for the City of Miami Beach of
6.5039. The total proposed operating millage remains at 6.2155 mills, including a general
operating millage rate of 6.1072 and a General Fund Capital Renewal and Replacement millage of
0.1083. The proposed voted debt service millage rate is adjusted from 0.2870 to 0.2884, an
increase of 0.0014 mills.

It is important to remember that in prior years, the City of Miami Beach significantly reduced tax

rates as property values increased. Between FY 1999/00 and FY 2009/10, total combined City of
Miami Beach ro ert tax rates declined approximately 2.8 mills. In FY 2007/08 alone, the millage
e
P p Y PP Y � g
rate declined by approximately 1.8 mills, with annual savings to the average homesteaded property
of over $400. In addition, in FY 2005/06 and FY 2006/07 the City provided "homeowner dividends"
of $200 and $300, respectively, to all homesteaded property owners in the City of Miami Beach.
Further, the per capital tax levy was $1,649 for FY 2006/07 as compared to an estimated $1,276 for
FY 2010/11, a decrease of $374, per resident, or 23 percent. City of Miami Beach combined
millage rates remain approximately 2.2 mills lower than in FY 1999/00 (25 percent), and
approximately 1.2 mills lower than 2006/07 when property values were similar to today's values,
resulting in a net tax levy reduction of approximately $29 million.
Miami Beach continues to provide more direct value for tax dollars paid than many other taxing
jurisdictions. For example, in FY 2009/10, the owner of an average value homesteaded property
would have paid approximately $1,700 in property taxes to the City; as compared to approximately
$4,000 to the County, the school board and other local taxing jurisdictions; approximately $2,400 in
sales taxes to the state; and approximately $7,000 in income taxes to the Federal government.
ANALYSIS OF PROPERTY VALUES IN MIAMI BEACH
On July 1, 2011, the City received the "2011 Certification of Taxable Value" from the Property
Appraiser's Office stating that the taxable value for the City of Miami Beach is $21,978,289,928
including $98,792,544 in new construction. The preliminary 2011 value represents a decrease of
$0.1265 billion or 0.6 percent less than the July 1, 2010 Certification of Taxable Value of $22.1
billion, and a decline of 1.2 percent excluding new construction.
The comparative assessed values for the Miami Beach Redevelopment Agency City Center
redevelopment district increased from $3,404,963,718 to $3,423,353,944, an increase of $0.0184,
billion or a 0.5 percent increase in values over 2010 certified values. In addition, assessed values
within the geographic area formerly known as the South Pointe redevelopment district increased
from $3,324,165,654 to $3,446,036,913, an increase of $0.1219 billion, or a 3.7 percent increase in
values over 2010 certified values. As a result, taxable values in the areas outside the City Center
RDA/South Pointe area decreased by 1.7 percent, from $15.3756 billion to $15.1089 billion, a
decrease of $0.2667 billion.

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 2011 Certification
of Taxable Value and has been set at $21,978,290. 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 $20,879,376.
Impacts of Decline in Property Values
In FY 2010/11, the operating millage rate for general City operations was adopted at 6.2155.
Based on the July 1, 2011 Certification of Taxable Value, 6.2155 mills would generate
approximately $129,775,762 in tax revenues, a decrease of $746,668 over FY 2010/11 budgeted
property tax revenues Citywide (General Fund, City Center RDA and the South Pointe area). The
General Fund property tax revenues will decrease by $0.85 million, if the FY 2010/11 millage rate is
maintained.
Further, the January, 1 2010 tax roll Citywide declined by almost $1.4. billion between the July 1,
2010 valuation and the July 1, 2011 valuation due to appeals, adjustments, etc., which resulted in
the FY 2011/12 "roll -back rate" being less than the FY 2010/11 current millage rate. The area
outside of City Center RDA declined by almost $1 billion.
DETERMINING THE VOTED DEBT SERVICE MILLAGE LEVY (GENERAL OBLIGATION DEBT
SERVICE FUND)
The general obligation debt service payment for FY 2011/12 is approximately $6.02 million. Based
on the July 1, 2011 Certified Taxable Value from the Property Appraiser, these bonds would require
the levy of a voted debt service millage of 0.2884 mills. This represents an increase of 0.0014 mills.

COMBINING THE OPERATING AND VOTED DEBT SERVICE MILLAGE LEVIES
Illustrated below is a comparison of the combined millage rates and ad valorem revenues to the
City of Miami Beach for FY 2010/11 (final) and FY 2011/12 (preliminary) including RDA. It is
recommended that in the General Fund, 0.1083 mills of the total operating millage continue to be
dedicated to renewal and replacement, resulting in approximately $1.76 million in renewal and
replacement funding.

If these recommended millage rates are tentatively adopted, then the City of Miami Beach's total
operating millage will remain unchanged from the current year, and the voted debt service millage
will increase by 0.0014 mills.
CITY OF MIAMI BEACH MILLAGE LEVY IMPACT ON MIAMI BEACH PROPERTY OWNERS
Homesteaded Properties
Amendment 110 to the State Constitution took effect on January 1, 1995 and limited the increase in
assessed value of homesteaded property to the percentage increase in the consumer price index
(CPI) or three percent (3 %), whichever is less. For 2010, the CPI has been determined to be 1.5
percent and therefore, the increase is capped at 1.5% for increased values as of January 1, 2011.
The impact of the millage and the CPI adjustment to homesteaded properties will vary significantly
based on how much below market value the property is assessed and the taxable value of the
property. Properties assessed at market value will not be affected by the 1.5 percent CPI
adjustment. As of the 2009 tax roll, the latest roll analyzed, 33 percent of properties were assessed
at market value.
Overall, based on an analysis of the homesteaded properties in the 2010 tax roll (the latest
available from the Miami -Dade County Property Appraiser at this time), the median value of
homesteaded property in Miami Beach for 2011 (as of August 2010) was $119,000, and the
average $271,000. Applying the decline to the market value of all existing homesteaded properties
from the 2010 tax roll, and the 1.5 percent CPI adjustment, the impact of the millage rate
adjustment to homesteaded properties would be as shown in the following table.

Non - Homesteaded Properties
It is anticipated that, overall commercial properties, would reflect a decline based on the overall
decline in the property values, although individual properties could vary significantly.
Historical Perspective
As stated earlier, in prior years, the City of Miami Beach significantly reduced tax rates as property
values increased. Between FY 1999/00 and FY 2009/10, property tax rates declined approximately
2.8 mills. In FY 2007/08 alone, the property tax rate declined by approximately 1.8 mills, with
annual savings to the average homesteaded property of over $400. In addition, in FY 2005/06 and
FY 2006/07, the City funded $200 and $300 "homeowner dividends" paid to homesteaded property
owners in the City.

The combined millage rate overall remains approximately 2.2 mills lower than it was in FY 1999/00.
In addition, the millage rate is almost 1.2 mills lower than it was in FY 2006/07, when property
values were above the July 1, 2011 certified values. As a result, the proposed property tax levy is
lower in FY 2011/12 than it was in FY 2006/07.

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 Children's Trust, the South Florida Water Management
District, and the Florida Inland Navigation District.
The countywide tax rate for Miami -Dade County is proposed to decrease from 5.4275 mills to
4.8050 mills; the library tax rate is proposed to decrease from 0.2840 mills to 0.1795 mills; and the
debt service millage decreased from 0.4450 to 0.2850.
The proposed tax rate for the Miami -Dade School District is 8.0050; 0.2440 mills less than the prior
year millage of 8.2490. The Children's Trust millage is maintained at 0.5 mills. The proposed tax
rate for the South Florida Water Management District is 0.4363; 0.1877 mills less than the prior
year millage of 0.6240. The proposed tax rate for the Florida Inland Navigation District is 0.0345;
unchanged from the FY 2010/11 millage.
A summary of the tax rate changes is provided in the following table.

With the Proposed millage rates for FY 2011/12, the Miami Beach portion of the FY 2011/12 tax bill
is approximately 31 percent of the total bill. Of note, even with the recently proposed millage
decreases by the County, the County millage is 1.1 mill less than their millage in FY 2006/07, as
compared to the City's proposed millage which is 1.2 mills less than the City millage in FY 2006/07.
Further, the School Board millage is only minimally below the FY 2006/07 millage rate, despite the
recently proposed decrease. The significant difference in the total overlapping millage rate is a
direct result of the City's effort to keep the millage rates as low as possible

Impact of Combined Tax Rates of Overlapping Jurisdictions on Homesteaded Properties
Applying the proposed millage rates to the median and average January 1, 2011 taxable values of
$119,461 and $277,201, respectively, half of the homesteaded properties would pay less than
$2,478 for all taxing jurisdictions combined, while the average taxes generated would be
approximately $5,753 per homesteaded property. Of these taxing jurisdictions, the highest
component is the Miami -Dade School Board, at $956 for a median value property, and $2,219 for
an average valued property.

for non - homesteaded properties will likely reflect declines in property values, although individual
properties may vary.
