ADMXHXSTRATXOH RECOJIMEHDATXOH:
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission
approve the attached Resolution calling for a Special Election to
be held on Tuesday November 8, 1994 for the purpose of submitting
to the electorate of the City of Miami Beach a question aSking
whether the City of Miami Beach shall be authorized to issue
General Obligation Bonds in a principal amount not exceeding $15
million, payable from unlimited ad valorem taxation, bearing
interest at a rate or rates as may be determined at the time of the
sale thereof, not exceeding the maximum legal rate of interest at
such time, to construct, renovate, and rebuild parks and recreation
facilities within the park system in Miami Beach.
BACltaROUlfD:
As instructed by the Miami Beach City Commission at its July 27,
1994 meeting, the Administration has further revised the list of
Capital Projects to be included in the proposed General Obligation
Bond issue. The attached list is as a result of comments and input
gathered from our citizens at fifteen (15) community presentations,
and various meetings of the Community Affairs Committee, Finance
Committee, Recreation and Parks Facilities Board, and Youth Center
Advisory Board held over the past five months. The revised
projects list reflects the $15 million principal amount as directed
by the city Commission.

AGENDA
ITEM
DATE
q-~-qy-
The Administration in conjunction with the City Attorney's office
has prepared the attached enabling legislation and ballot question
for a November 8, 1994 Special Election seeking electorate approval
for the issuance of an amount not exceeding $l5 million in General
obligation Bonds for the renovation of parks, recreational
facilities and landscaping.
If adopted by the Mayor and city commission would be placed on the
November 8, 1994 ballot.
~YSJ:S:
As reported at the July 13, 1994 Commission meeting, the
Administration has received extensive community input regarding
this issue through several town meetings as well as various
advisory board meetings and other presentations to community based
organizations. The conclusion drawn from this community
involvement process indicates that support exists for a park and
recreation improvements General obligation Bond issue.
As indicated in the attached graphic titled Funding for a $15
Million General Bond Issue, the issuance of these bonds would not
increase the existing tax rate for debt service, the rate would
decline no later than 1999, and any increases in taxes paid to
Miami Beach will be due to value changes. The average $150,000
home with a homestead exemption will pay no more than 2 mills
(based on recent projections) for this proposed new General
Obligation debt service as well as existing debt service. The
millage specifically for the proposed $15 million issue over the
life of the bonds is not expected to exceed 2 mills which equates
to a maximum of $250 annually for a $150,000 assessed home with
homestead exemption. The millage is expected to be completely
amortized by 2005.
SPECJ:PJ:C CONSJ:DERATJ:ONS:
It should be noted that the public involvement process resulted in
commitments on the part of the City that Pine Tree Park would be
developed only as a passive park and that the Par 3 Golf Course
would remain as a facility of this nature. It is further important
to understand that a companion item on this Agenda authorizes a
ballot question for the establishment of a Trust Fund, the proceeds
of which will be used to maintain and operate the upgraded park
system. This fund will require .75 mills for three years to
establish a sufficient balance to allow the earnings to meet the
expanded maintenance and program needs.
CONCLUSJ:ON:
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and city Commission
approve the attached Resolution calling for a Special Election to
be held on Tuesday November 8, 1994 for the purpose of Submitting
to the electorate of the City of Miami Beach a question asking
whether the city of Miami Beach shall be authorized to issue
General Obligation Bonds in a principal amount not exceeding $15
million, payable from unlimited ad valorem taxation, bearing
interest at a rate or rates as may be determined at the time of the
sale thereof, not exceeding the maximum legal rate of interest at
such time, to construct, renovate, and rebuild parks and recreation
facilities within the park system in Miami Beach.
