RECOMMENDATION
The Administration is requesting that the Mayor and City Commission hereby express its
intent to use the uniform method for collecting non -ad valorem assessments commencing
with the Fiscal Year beginning October 1, 2018, to be levied for the Biscayne Point Security
Guard Special Taxing District ( "Special Taxing District "). Beginning with the tax statement
mailed for such Fiscal Year, the City intends to use the uniform method for collecting non -ad
valorem assessments authorized in Section 197.3632, Florida Statutes, for collecting non -ad
valorem assessments for the cost of continued operation and maintenance of the Special
Taxing District, including but not limited to the making of infrastructure and security
improvements.
Such non -ad valorem assessments shall be levied within the Special Taxing District of the
City. The Special Taxing District is located entirely within the incorporated area of the City;
is bounded on the North and West by Biscayne Bay, on the East by a canal running parallel
to Hawthorne Avenue, and on the South by Biscayne Point Creek; and, the legal description
of the Special Taxing District is set forth in Exhibit A.
Upon passage and adoption, the City Clerk will send a certified copy of this Resolution by
United States mail to the Florida Department of Revenue, the Miami -Dade County Tax
Collector, and the Miami -Dade County Property Appraiser by March 10, 2018.
ANALYSIS
In 1990, the City's Mayor and City Commission and the County Board of County
Commissioners ( "Board ") approved the creation of the Special Taxing District pursuant to
City Resolution No. 90 -19919 and County Ordinance No. 90 -52 to provide 24 -hour security
guard service to Biscayne Point. Thereafter, in 2006 and 2007, respectively, the City's Mayor
Page 956 of 1270
Biscayne Point Security Guard Special Taxing District Uniform Method for Collecting Non -Ad Valorem Assessments
Page 2
and City Commission and the County Board approved an amendment to the Special Taxing
District in City Resolution No. 2006 -26201 and County Ordinance No. 07 -62 to provide for
increased services, including the installation of cameras and a recording device in the
guardhouse.
Pursuant to a County Charter Amendment approved by the electorate on November 8, 2016,
County Ordinance No. 16 -14 was given effect which created a new Section 18 -3.1 in the
Miami -Dade County Code. This new County Code Section provides, in part, that by joint
resolutions of the County Board and the governing body of a municipality, the governing
body of a municipality may be designated as the governing body of an existing special taxing
district located entirely within the boundaries of such municipality, subject to a majority vote
of the qualified electors residing in the special taxing district at an election called by and
conducted as provided by the County Board. In addition, the County has advised that
interlocal agreements with the County Board and with the County Tax Collector and Property
Appraiser would be needed to effectuate a transfer of control.
The transfer of control of the Special Taxing District from the County Board to the Mayor and
City Commission of the City of Miami Beach is supported by the Biscayne Point
Homeowners Association. At the June 26, 2017 City Commission meeting, the Mayor and
City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2017 -29909 requesting the County to transfer
control of the Special Taxing District from the County Board to the Mayor and City
Commission of the City of Miami Beach, and to designate the Mayor and City Commission
as the governing body of the Special Taxing District, subject to County approval and a
majority vote of the qualified electors residing in the Special Taxing District.
On November 7, 2017, the County passed and adopted Resolution No. R- 1019 -17, which
approved the interlocal agreement and the transfer of control of the Special Taxing District,
subject to the City passing a resolution ratifying and accepting the County's approval of the
execution of an interlocal agreement.
In addition, on November 7, 2017, the County passed and adopted Resolution No. R -1020-
17, which called a special election for the Special Taxing District, and provided that the
special election shall be held within the boundaries of the Special Taxing District, and set
forth the ballot question to be presented for approval or disapproval by a mailed ballot and
the noticing requirements and registration deadline, and provided that the special election
shall be held on January 23, 2018 and that all marked ballots must be received by 7:00 pm
on that day.
On December 13, 2017, the City Commission passed and adopted Resolution No. 2017-
30123 which ratified and accepted County Resolution No. R- 1019 -17, approving the transfer
of control of the Special Taxing District and the interlocal agreement. City Resolution No.
2017 - 30123 also ratified and accepted County Resolution No. R- 1020 -17, calling for a
special election in the Special Taxing District to seek approval or disapproval of a resolution
designating the City as the governing body of the Special Taxing District pursuant to Section
18 -3.1 of the Code of Miami Dade County.
On January 23, 2018, the voters approved the transfer of control of the Special Taxing
District to the City. As a result of this vote, and pursuant to the terms of the Transfer
Agreement between the County and the City, the City became the governing body of the
Special Taxing District twelve days after the favorable election, unless, a contest of the
election is filed pursuant to Section 102.168 of the Florida Statutes. If a contest is filed, the
transfer will occur upon the successful resolution of such contest upholding the election.

Page 3
Barring any election contest, the City will now determine how to proceed with contracts,
including but not limited to, electrical, security and equipment services.
The City intends to use the uniform method for collecting non -ad valorem assessments for
the provision of continued operation and maintenance of the Special Taxing District,
including but not limited to, the making of infrastructure and security improvements as
authorized by Section 197.3632, Florida Statutes, because this method will allow such
special assessments to be collected annually, commencing for the fiscal year beginning on
October 1, 2018, in the same manner as provided for ad valorem taxes.
Upon passage and adoption of the accompanying Resolution, the City Clerk will be required
to send a certified copy of the Resolution by United States mail to the Florida Department of
Revenue, the Miami -Dade County Tax Collector, and the Miami -Dade County Property
Appraiser by March 10, 2018.
All further timelines are noted as follows:
• In July 2018, the City is required to submit the final folio and non -ad valorem rates to
the County.
• The deadline for the City to adopt a non - valorem assessment roll is September 15,
2018.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Currently, the Special Taxing District has an annual budget of $243,000. The County
collects $30,100 as an administrative fee to offset costs related to administering service
contracts and providing fiscal support for the District. Administrative support would be
similar to that currently provided by the City to the Normandy Shores Local Government
Neighborhood Improvement District, thus any additional fiscal impact as a result of the City
assuming control of the Special Taxing District will be calculated during the FY 2018/19
budget process.

Verizon Said to Drop Plans to
Sell Phones Made by Huawei
DAVID PAUL MORRIS /RLOOMBERG NEWS
Huawei makes both handsets and network equipment, but no major American carrier uses
equipment from Huawei in its network.
by Scott Moritz,
Mark Gurman and
Todd Shields
Verizon Communications Inc.
has dropped all plans to sell phones
by Chinese manufacturer I- Iuawei.
Technologies Co., including the new
Mate 10 Pro, under pressure from the
U.S, government, according to people
familiar with the matter.
The move follows AT &T Inc: s decision
earlier this month not to introduce the
Mate 10 Pro to the U.S. market, Huawei
devices still work on both companies'
networks, but direct sales would've al-
lowed them to reach more consumers
than they can through third parties.
The government's renewed concern
about Chinese spying is creating a poten-
tial roadblock in the race between Verizon
and AT &T to offer 5G, the next genera-
tion of super -fast mobile service. I-luawei
is pushing to be among the first to offer a
5G- capable phone, but the device may be
considered off - limits to U.S. carriers who
are beginning to offer the next - generation
service this year in a few cities,
5G networks are expected to be used
in everything from phones to self -driv-
ing cars and artificial intelligence. U.S.
security agencies and some lawmakers
fear that 5G phones made by companies
that may have close ties to the Chinese
government could pose a security risk.
The perceived threat has prompted
the '!rump administration to consider
plans to not just keep Chinese equipment
off the network, but also to nationalize
the construction of a 5G system like the
U.S. did with interstate highways in the
1950s. The idea was roundly blasted by
industry loaders and lavvrnakers from
both parties on Monday.
"Your phone is the ultimate Trojan
horse," said Roger Entner, an analyst with
ReconAnalylics LLC. "If someone has con-
trol of your phone, they can do a lot with
it. In a nightmare scenario, they can turn
on the microphone or the camera and, if
you working for a defense contractor or
chipmaker, they can obtain sensitive info."
Huawei and Verizon declined to
comment.
Phones are just the latest lightning
rod for a much broador conflict between
the U.S, and China that dates back more
than a decade.
Huawei came under U.S, scrutiny in
2003, when Cisco Systems Inc. sued its
China -based rival, accusing it of stealing
software code for its network routers.
Huawei denied the charges and pulled
some products. The company went on to
dominate networking gear sales in China
and is now the world's top networking
equipment supplier, even though it has
made nearly zero inroads in the U.S.
The incident fed perceptions that
companies in China have certain advan-
tages over the U.S. because of govern-
ment support, cheap labor and a loose
regard for intellectual- property rights.
Huawei has spent the past decade fight-
ing those perceptions in an effort to gain
access to U.S. market.
Huawei makes both handsets and
network equipment. No majorAmerican
carrier uses equipment from Huawei
or another Chinese manufacturer, ZTE
Corp., in its network. But Verizon, AT&T
and smaller carriers T- Mobile US Inc.
and Sprint Corp. all have been selling
phones from the two suppliers in the
U.S. for several years,
GTE plans to introduce a 5G- capable
device in the U,S. at year -end or in early
2019, Lixin Chong, chief executive of-
ficer of the company's mobile- device
business, told Bloomberg News this
month, Thus far, ZTE hasn't met the
same level of pushback from the U.S.
government as Huawei has.
AT &T's decision not to carry the
Mate 10 Pro came amid political pres-
sure and just weeks after regulators
received a letter urging an investiga-
tion into China -made equipment. The
Mate 10 Pro, which is aimed at being a
direct rival to Apple Inc. and Samsung
Electronics Co„ is expected to have 5G
versions available by 2019, according to
a person familiar with the plans.
Huawei, China's largest maker of
telecommunications equipment, was
founded in 1988 by former Chinese
army officer Ron Zhengfei, Speaking at
a CES event earlier this month, Richard
Yu, Huawel's consumer products chief,
defended his company's record.
"We serve 170 countries, and for
30 years we've proven our quality and
we've proven our privacy and security
protection," Yu said.

Verizon Said to Drop Plans to
Sell Phones Made by Huawei
DAVID PAUL MORRIS/BLOOMBERG NEWS
Huawei makes both handsets and network equipment, but no major American carrier uses
equipment from Huawei in Its network.
by Scott Moritz,
Mark Gurman and
Todd Shields
Verizon Communications Inc.
has dropped all plans to sell phones
by Chinese manufacturer Huawei
"Technologies Co., including the now
Mato 10 Pro, under pressure from the
U.S. government, according to people
familiar with the matter,
The move follows AT&T Inc: s decision
earlier this month not to introduce the
Mate 10 Pro to the U.S. market. Huawei
devices still work on both companies'
networks, but direct sales would've al-
lowed them to reach more consumers
than they can through third parties,
The government's renewed concern
about Chinese spying is creating a poten-
tial roadblock in the race between Verizon
and AT&T to offer 5G, the next genera-
tion of super -fast mobile service, Huawei
is pushing to be among the first to offer a
5G -capable phone, but the device may bo
considered off-limits to U,S. carriers who
are beginning to offer the next -generation
service this year in a few cities,
5G networks are expected to be used
in everything from phones to self -driv-
ing cars and artificial intelligence, U.S.
security agencies and some lawmakers
fear that 5G phones made by companies
that may have close ties to the Chinese
government could pose a security risk.
The perceived threat has prompted
the 'Trump administration to consider
plans to notjust keep Chinese equipment
off the network, but also to nationalize
the construction of a 5G system like the
U.S. did with interstate highways in the
1950s. The idea was roundly blasted by
industry leaders and lawmakers from
both parties on Monday.
"Your phone is the ultimate Trojan
horse," said Roger Entner, an analyst with
ReconAnalytics LLC. "If someone has con-
trol of your phone, they can do a lot with
it. In a nightmare scenario, they can turn
on the microphone or the camera and, if
you working for a defense contractor or
chipmaker, they can obtain sensitive info,"
I-fuawei and Verizon declined to
comment.
Phones aro just the latest lightning
rod for a much broader conflictbotween
the U.S, and China that dates back more
than a decade.
Huawei came under U.S. scrutiny in
2003, when Cisco Systems Inc. sued its
China -based rival, accusing it of stealing
software code for its network routers.
Huawei denied the charges and pulled
some products. The company went on to
dominate networking gear sales in China
and is now the world's top networking
equipment supplier, even though it has
made nearly zero inroads in the U.S.
The incident fed perceptions that
companies in China have certain advan-
tages over the U,S. because of govern-
ment support, cheap labor and a loose
regard for intellectual -property rights.
Huawei has spent the past decade fight-
ing those perceptions in an effort to gain
access to U.S. market.
Huawei makes both handsets and
network equipment. No majorAmerican
carrier uses equipment from Huawei
or another Chinese manufacturer, ZTE
Corp., in its network, But Verizon, AT&T
and smaller carriers T -Mobile US Inc.
and Sprint Corp, all have boon selling
phones from the two suppliers in the
U.S. for several years.
ZTE plans to introduce a 5G -capable
device in the U.S, at year-end or in early
2019, Lixin Chong, chief executive of-
ficer of the company's mobile -device
business, told Bloomberg Nows this
month. Thus far, ZTE hasn't met the
same level of pushback from the U.S.
government as I-luawei has.
AT&T's decision not to carry the
Mato 10 Pro came amid political pres-
sure and just weeks after regulators
received a letter urging an investiga-
tion into China -made equipment, The
Mate 10 Pro, which is aimed at being a
direct rival to Apple Inc. and Samsung
Electronics Co., is expected to have 5G
versions available by 2019, according to
a person familiar with the plans.
Huawei, China's largest maker of
telecommunications equipment, was
founded in 1988 by former Chinese
army officer Ron Zhengfei. Speaking at
a CES event earlier this month, Richard
Yu, I-Iuawei's consumer products chief,
defended his company's record.
"We servo 170 countries, and for
30 years we've proven our quality and
we've proven our privacy and security
protection," Yu said.
