To: Subject: ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION 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 2003/04: General Operating 1.123 mills (1.194 mills last year) 2) The tentatively adopted millage rate of 1.123 mills is 4.6% greater than the "Rolled- back" Rate of 1.074 mills. 3) The second public hearing to consider the final Normandy Shores District millage rate and budget for FY 2003/04 shall be at 5:02 P.M., Thursday, September 18, 2003 in the 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 continual 24-hour security to this gated community; FY 2003/04 represents its tenth year of operation. It 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". However, on August 29,2002, the Administration met with the Normandy Shores Local Government Neighborhood Improvement Normandy Shores FY 2003/04 Tentative Millage September 4, 2003 Page Two District representatives and agreed to eliminate the $500 cap on the highest valued home in the District. The enabling legislation was adopted by the Commission on September 25, 2002. This ensures that the City's contribution from the General Fund remains at 35% of the operating budget of the District. 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. The City Attorney's Office is reviewing the issue regarding the dependent status of the District. It was further agreed that the City would continue to supplement the District at current levels until both issues were resolved. PROCEDURE The operating millage and budget for this dependent special taxing district must be adopted in accordance with Florida Statutes. This procedure requires that this Resolution be considered immediately after the millage and budget of the principal taxing authority, i.e., City of Miami Beach. It also prescribes that a tentative millage be adopted first. This is accomplished by adopting a Resolution which states the percent increase or decrease over the "Rolled-back" rate, and the date, time, and place of the second public hearing scheduled to adopt the final millage. Following this, another Resolution which tentatively adopts the Normandy Shores District operating budget must be approved. (See accompanying Agenda item R782 for details). The statute requires the name of the taxing authority, the rolled-back rate, the percentage increase, and the millage rate be publicly announced before adoption ofthe millage resolution. ANALYSIS The tentative ad valorem millage recommended by the Administration is 1.123 mills to provide the level of security required by this District. This tax levy will generate proceeds of $81 ,758. The total operating budget to provide security services to this District is $125,800. This is comparable to the current year end projections. The difference between the revenues which will be generated from ad-valorem tax proceeds and the total budgetary requirement of the District must be supplemented by a contribution from the General Fund in the amount of $44,042 or 35% of the total operating budget. The General Fund has funded this difference for each of the nine years since the District was established. The amount provided by the General Fund for this purpose in FY 2002/2003 was $42,000. On July 30, 2003, the City Commission adopted Resolution 2003-25301 which set the proposed operating millage rate for the District at 1 .123 mills. 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 (1.123) and the principal taxing authority (7.299) totals 8.422 mills, which is 1.578 mills less than the 10 mill cap. Normandy Shores FY 2003/04 Tentative Millage September 4, 2003 Page Three CONCLUSION The City Commission, acting in its capacity as the Board of Directors of the District, should adopt the attached Resolution which establishes a tentative millage and schedules the second and final public hearing.
