FY 2022 Non-Ad Valorem assessment roil of $684.05, per Residential Unit, for the cost of
continued operation and maintenance of the Special Taxing District, including but not limited to the

BACKGROUND
In 1990, the Mayor and City Commission of the City of Miami Beach and the Miami-Dade County
Board of County Commissioners approved the creation of a Special Taxing District pursuant to City
Resolution No. 90-19919 and County Ordinance No. 90-52 to provide 24-hour security guard
service to Biscayne Point. Thereafter, in 2006 and 2007, respectively, the City's Mayor and City
Commission and the Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners approved an
amendment to the Special Taxing District in City Resolution No.2006-26201 and County Ordinance
No. 07-62 to provide for increased services, including the installation of cameras and a recording
device in the guardhouse.
Pursuant to a Miami-Dade 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 provided,in part,that by joint resolutions
of the Board of County Commissioners 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
Page 74 of 95
FY 2022 Biscayne Point Budget
September 9, 2021
Page 2 of 3
provided by the Board of County Commissioners and with the County Tax Collector and Property
Appraiser would be needed to effectuate a transfer of control.
On January 23, 2018, the voters of the District approved the transfer of control of the Security
Guard Special Taxing District to the City. As a result of this vote, and pursuant to the terms of the
Transfer Agreement executed between Miami-Dade County and the City of Miami Beach,the City
became the governing body of the Special Taxing District, as no contest of the election was filed
pursuant to Section 102.168 of the Florida Statutes. FY 2022 represents the fourth year of the City
acting as the governing body of the Biscayne Point Security Guard Special Taxing District.
The City of Miami Beach 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 October 1,2021,in
the same manner as provided for ad valorem taxes.
PROCEDURE
The Non-Ad Valorem assessment roll and operating budget for this Special Taxing District must be
adopted in accordance with Florida Statutes. This procedure requires that this Resolution be
considered immediately after adoption of the Non-Ad Valorem assessment roll for the District(see
accompanying Non-Ad Valorem Assessment Roll agenda item for details).
ANALYSIS
The FY 2022 budget for the Biscayne Point Security Guard Special Taxing District is $229,000,
which represents a 3.6%, or$8,000, increase from the District's FY 2021 operating budget and is
comprised of the following line expenditures:
Items Included in FY 2022 Expenditures $
Contracted Security Guard Services for Dict •

additional contingency of$8,000 requested by the District)
OIG Internal Service Charges 1,000

Total $229,000
In order to continue to provide the current level of security required by this Special Taxing District,
the Administration recommends the proposed FY 2022 Non-Ad Valorem assessment of$684.05,
per Residential Unit,for real property located within the boundaries of the Biscayne Point Security
Guard Special Taxing District commencing FY 2022, which will fund the FY 2022 budget for this

• Special Taxing District.This Non-Ad Valorem assessment is$7.17,or 1.1%,more than the adopted
FY 2021 Non-Ad Valorem assessment of $676.88, per Residential Unit, and would generate
proceeds of approximately$223,000.The remainder of the budget($6,000 contingency requested
by the District) will be funded using available fund balance.
CONCLUSION

Guard Special Taxing District, should adopt the attached Resolution which adopts the FY 2022
