The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission, acting in its capacity
as the Board of Directors for the Normandy Shores Local Government Neighborhood
Improvement District, adopt the attached resolution which sets the following:
1) The tentatively adopted millage rate for the Normandy Shores Neighborhood
Improvement District for FY 2002/03:
2)
General Operating
1.194 mills
"Rolled-back" Rate (Truth in Millage) 0.839 mills
3) The second public hearing to consider the final Normandy Shores District millage rate

City Commission Chambers, City Hall, 1700 Convention Center Drive.
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
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,
Normandy Shores District Millage

"Certification of Taxable Values" for the district, the highest taxable property assessment within
the district is valued at $624,003, which required 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
On September 11, 2002 the Mayor and City Commission acting as the Board of Directors for
the Normandy Shores Local Government Neighborhood Improvement District increased the
proposed millage from 0.801 mills to 1.194 mills as recommended by the Administration. A
revised DR-420 was delivered to the Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser and revised TRIM
notices were mailed to all property owners in the District. This notification is estimated by the
Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser to cost approximately $1,000, which will be borne by
the City.

This tax levy will generate proceeds of $78,000 and the General Fund will fund $42,000 or 35%
of the operating budget. 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 mill ages
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 sets the tentative millage and sets the date for the second
public hearing.
