BACKGROUND
The Normandy Shores Local Government Neighborhood Improvement District, which is 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 2021 represents its twenty-
seventh 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". During FY 1999, 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 Economic Resiliency Committee (FERC). A determination was
reached that the City would fund 35%percent of the annual cost of the operation of the community
gate guard. This cost will eventually be funded from the golf course operation of the Normandy
Shores Golf Course. It was further agreed that the City would continue to supplement the District
at current levels until both issues were resolved. On August 29, 2002,the Administration met with
Normandy Shores Local Government Neighborhood Improvement District representatives and
agreed to eliminate the $500 cap on the highest valued home in the District. This enabling
legislation was adopted by the City Commission on September 25, 2002 and ensures that the
City's contribution from the General Fund remains at 35 percent of the operating budget for the
District.
ANALYSIS
On July 1, 2020, the City received the 2020 Certification of Taxable Value from the Miami-Dade
County Property Appraiser indicating that the taxable value for the Normandy Shores Local
Government Neighborhood Improvement District was$242.8 million, including$9.5 million of new
construction. Overall, this represents an increase of approximately $19.1 million, or 8.5 percent,
over the 2019 Certification of Taxable Value of$223.7 million provided by the Miami-Dade County
Property Appraiser as of July 1, 2019. It is important to note that the final 2019 tax roll for the
Normandy Shores Local Government Neighborhood Improvement District of $219.1 million is
approximately$4.6 million, or 2.0 percent, lower than the 2019 Certification of Taxable Value due
to appeals, adjustments, etc.

PROPOSED BUDGET&MILLAGE
The Normandy Shores Local Government Neighborhood Improvement District budget proposed
for FY 2021, as reflected in Attachment A, is$269,000, which reflects a decrease of$28,000, or
9.4 percent, from the adopted FY 2020 budget and is comprised of the following line-items:
Items Included in Preliminary FY 2021 Expenditures $
Contracted Security Guard Services for Guardhouse and Rover 212,000
Gate Maintenance and Repairs 25,000
Project b Modify and Widen the Two Entry Lanes at the Biarritz Guard ,20,000
House Entrance
Utilities 7,000
Guardhouse Janitorial Services 4;000
OIG Set-aside(based on 0.5%of Contracts Budgeted) 1,000
Total $289,000
The proposed ad valorem millage, which was approved by the Normandy Shores Homeowners'
Association on July 13, 2020, and is recommended by the Administration for FY 2021, is 0.7497
mills, which is 0.0664 mills, or 8.1 percent, less than the adopted FY 2020 millage rate of 0.8161
mills. Based on the 2020 Certification of Taxable Value provided by the Miami-Dade Property
Appraiser as of July 1, 2020, this proposed tax levy would generate proceeds of$181,995, which
will be budgeted at approximately 95.0 percent, or $172,900, to account for early payment
discounts, delinquencies, etc. This millage rate will fund the proposed FY 2021 budget
summarized above for the District, including $20,000 to modify and widen the two entry lanes at
the Biarritz guard house entrance as requested by the Homeowners'Association for FY 2021.
Statutory Requirement
Florida Statute 200.065, entitled "Method of Fixing Millage," establishes specific guidelines that
must be used by all local government entities, including dependent taxing districts like Normandy
Shores in setting its millage (property tax) rates. Not unlike its principal taxing authority (City of
Miami Beach), Normandy Shores is also required to transmit within 35 days from receipt of the
Certification of Taxable Value (received July 1, 2020), to the Miami-Dade County Property
Appraiser, a proposed operating millage rate,the calculated"rolled-back"rate and the date,time,
Page 1788 of 2461
FY 2021 Normandy Shores Proposed Millage Rate
July 29, 2020
Page 4 of 5
and place of the first public hearing to consider the proposed operating millage rate and budget
for FY 2021.
The "rolled-back" rate is the millage rate required to produce the same level of property tax
revenue in FY 2021 as collected in FY 2020.The rate is calculated at 0.7666 mills,which is 0.0495
mills less than the millage rate of 0.8161 adopted for FY 2020. The"rolled-back" millage rate tax
levy would generate proceeds of$186,098. The difference between the proposed millage rate for
FY 2021 and the"rolled-back" rate levy is $4,103.
After setting the proposed operating millage rate for Normandy Shores,the City Commission may,
at any time prior to the final adoption, lower the millage rate; however, any increase above the
proposed rate of 0.7497 mills for FY 2021, if adopted, would require an expensive mailing and
advertising process to, each property owner in the Normandy Shores Local Government
Neighborhood Improvement District. Therefore, this proposed millage rate is viewed as the
ceiling.
Further, per State Statute, the City may elect to approve millage rates above the"rolled-back"rate
up to the constitutional cap of 10 mills, subject to the following votes by the Commission or
referendum:
• Option I: A majority approval of the Commission is required to approve a millage up to
0.8659 mills(equivalent to a 3.22 percent increase in Property Tax revenues).The 1.0322
increase is the State per capita personal income gain for the prior calendar year.
• Option II: A two-thirds approval (5 of 7 votes)of the Commission is required to approve a
millage up to 0.9525 mills (equivalent to a 10 percent increase in Property Tax revenues
above Option I).
• Option Ill: A unanimous approval of the Commission or referendum is required to approve
a millage above 0.9525 mills.
Adoption of the proposed FY 2021 millage rate of 0.7497 mills for the Normandy Shores Local
Government Neighborhood Improvement District would, therefore, require a majority approval (4
of 7 votes) by the City Commission per the State of Florida's Truth-in-Millage (TRIM)
requirements.
First Public Hearing
The first public hearing on the proposed operating millage rate and budget for FY 2021 must be
held no later than 80 days, or earlier than 65 days, from the start of the TRIM calendar(July 1st).
Other guidelines are: 1)The public hearing cannot be scheduled on a Sunday or on those days
utilized by Miami-Dade County or the Miami-Dade County School Board for their public hearing;
2) If on a day other than Saturday, it must be held after 5:00 P.M.; and, 3) Must be held
immediately following discussion of the tentative millage and budget of its principal taxing
authority(City of Miami Beach).
Based on these guidelines, the first hearing must be held between September 3, 2020 and
September 18, 2020. The following dates are unavailable for the following reasons:
