Normandy Shores FY 2002/03 Tentative Millage
Page Two
September 11, 2002
BACKGROUND
The Normandy Shores Local Government Neighborhood 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 2002/03 represents its ninth 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", Based on the
January 1, 2002, "Certification of Taxable Values" for the district, the highest taxable property
assessment within the district is valued at $624,003, which requires a millage rate of 0,801;
this millage yields an assessment of $500,
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 guard gate. This cost will eventually be funded from the golf
course operation of the Normandy Shores Golf Course rather than the General Fund,
At the July 31, 2002 Commission meeting the Mayor and Commission adopted Resolution
2002-24942, which set the proposed operating millage rate for the District at 0.801 mills. At
this millage, in accordance with the enabling legislation no property owner's tax would exceed
$500. The tax levy at .801 mills would have generated proceeds of $52,310 of the $120,000
operating budget to provide security services for the district. The difference between the
revenues generated from such ad valorem tax proceeds and the total budgetary requirement
of the District was to have been funded by the General Fund in the amount of $67,690 or 56%
of the total operating budget. The General Fund has funded this difference for each of the
eight years since the District was established.
However, the Mayor and City Commission directed the Administration to take the actions
necessary to limit the General Fund contributions to 35% of the operating costs of the District
as have previously been discussed by the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee, The
Administration met with Normandy Shores Local Government Neighborhood Improvement
District representatives on August 29th and they agreed with the Administration's
recommendation to amend the enabling ordinance to eliminate the $500 cap on the highest
valued home in the District and to amend the proposed millage from 0.801 mills to 1.194 mills.
This millage will generate $78,000 which represents 65% of the operating budget of the
District and will limit the contribution from the General Fund to $42,000 or 35% of the
operating budget
ANALYSIS
The amended proposed ad valorem millage recommended by the Administration is 1.194 mills
to provide the level of security required by this district. This tax levy will generate proceeds of
$78,000 and the General Fund will fund $42,000 or 35% of the operating budget.
On July 31, 2002, the City Commission adopted Resolution 2002-24942 which set the
proposed operating millage rate for the District at 0.801 mills, To increase the proposed
millage, the City must notify the Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser, who will prepare and
distribute the required notification to each property owner in the District. Additionally, the City
must revise the date of the first public hearing which can be no earlier than 10 days from the
date of notice by the Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser. This notification is estimated by
the Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser to cost approximately $1 ,000, which will be borne
by the City.
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 (1.194) and the principal taxing authority (7.299) totals 8.493 mills, which is 1,507 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 amends the proposed general operating millage and
revises the date for the first public hearing.
