COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Eric Carpenter, Ciry Manager
DATE: September 3, 2025
TITLE: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, ACTING IN ITS CAPACITY AS THE GOVERNING BODY
OF THE BISCAYNE POINT SECURITY GUARD SPECIAL TAXING DISTRICT,
ADOPTING THE OPERATING BUDGET FOR THE BISCAYNE POINT SECURITY
GUARD SPECIAL TAXING DISTRICT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2026.
RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission of the City of Miami Beach
("City"), acting in its capacity as the governing body of the Biscayne Point Security Guard Special
Taxing District ("DistricY'), adopt the attached Resolution which establishes the operating budget
for the Biscayne Point Security Guard Special Taxing District ("DistricY')for Fiscal Year (FY) 2026
in the amount ofi $383,000, subject to adoption of the non-ad valorem assessment roll of
$1,176.65, per Residential Unit, to fund the continued operation and maintenance of the
guardhouse gates, and securiry guard services in the District, including but not limited to the
making of building, infrastructure, and security-related improvements, as authorized by Section
197.3632, Florida Statutes.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
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 twenry-four {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 entirety 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 Board of County Cornmissioners and with the Counry 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.
1298 of 1750
As such, the City of Miami Beach intends to use the uniform method for collecting non-ad valorem
assessments, to fund the continued operation and maintenance of the guardhouse gates, and
security guard services in the District, including but not limited to the making of building,
infrastructure, and security-related improvements, as authorized by Section 197.3632, Florida
Statutes, because this method will allow such special assessments to be collected annually.
ANALYSIS
The non-ad valorem assessment roll and operating budget for this District must be adopted in
accordance with Florida Statutes. This procedure requires that this Resolution be considered
immediately after the non-ad valorem assessment roll for the District has been adopted (see
accompanying Biscayne Point Non-Ad Valorem Assessment Roll agenda item for details}.
PROPOSED BUDGET
The proposed FY 2026 budget summari2ed below for the Biscayne Point Security Guard Special
Taxing District is $383,000, which reflects the funding necessary to provide security services, as
well as improvements to the securiry guardhouse that were requested by the District. This
represents a $29,000, or 8.2%, increase from the adopted FY 2025 budget of $354,000 for the
District, which is primarily attributed to a $19,000 increase in the budgeted transfer to reserves to
replenish the DistricYs reserves, as well as a $15,000 increase in contracted security guard
services based on service hours and anticipated hourly rates.

commencing FY 2026, which will generate approximately$383,000 and fund the budget proposed
for FY 2026. The proposed non-ad valorem assessment is $92.42, or 8.5%, more than the non-
