BEACH, FLORIDA,
OF THE CITY'S INTENT TO USE
THE UNIFORM METHOD OF
COLLECTION OF NON-AD
VALOREM ASSESSMENTS
NOTICE IS HEREBY given that the City of Miami Beach (City") intends to use the uniform method
for collecting the non-ad valorem assessments to be levied by the City pursuant to Section 197.3632,
Florida Statutes,with regard to the Allison Island Security Guard Special Taxing District("Special Taxing
District").The City Commission will hold a Public Hearing on this matter on February 12,2020 at 2:00 P.M.
at City Hall,1700 Convention Center Drive,3"'Floor,Commission Chambers,Miami Beach,Florida,33139.
The purpose of the Public Hearing is to consider the adoption of a Resolution authorizing the City to
use the uniform method of collecting non-ad valorem assessments to be levied by the City pursuant to
Section 197.3632, Florida Statutes.The City intends to use the uniform method for collecting non-ad
valorem assessments after the transfer of control of the Special Taxing District from Miami-Dade County
to the City in accordance with Section 18-3.1 of the Miami-Dade County Code.
The City may levy non-ad valorem assessments for the purpose of the continued operation and
maintenance of the Allison Island Guard Special Taxing District,including but not limited to the making
of infrastructure and security improvements.The area or boundaries of Allison Island Security Guard
Special Taxing District are as follows:
A portion of Sections 11,Township 53 South,Range 42 East,Dade County,Florida;being

The City intends to use the uniform method of collecting non-ad valorem assessments for a period
of more than one year. This non-ad valorem assessment will be levied by the City for the first time;
however, Miami-Dade County has previously levied the non-ad valorem assessment for the Special
Taxing District.
The City's non-ad valorem assessments shall be subject to the same discounts and penalties,and the
issuance and sale of tax certificates and tax deeds, for non-payment as for the non-payment of ad
valorem taxes.The non-payment of such non-ad valorem assessments will subject the property to the
potential loss of title.

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 Allison Island Security Guard Special Taxing District from the County
Board to the Mayor and City Commission of the City of Miami Beach is supported by the Allison
Island Homeowners Association.At the October 17,2018 City Commission meeting,the Mayor and
City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2018-30575 requesting the County to transfer control of
the Allison Island Security Guard 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 June 4, 2019, the County passed and adopted Resolution No. R-590-19, which approved the
execution of an interlocal agreement for 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 June 4,2019,the County passed and adopted Resolution No. R-591-19 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 December 17, 2019 and that all
marked_ballots must be received by 7:00 pm on that day.
On December 17, 2019, the voters of the Allison Island Security Guard Special Taxing District
unanimously approved the transfer of control of the Special Taxing District from the County to the
City by 100% as further detailed in Letter to Commission (LTC) 644-2019 dated December 23,
2019.
On January 15, 2020, the City passed Resolution No. 2020-31145 ratifying and accepting the
County's approval of the execution of an interlocal agreement.
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, 2020, 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
