Gonzalez ~_~ City Manager () IT ZJ A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE NORMANDY SHORES LOCAL GOVERNMENT NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT ADOPTING THE FINAL AD VALOREM MILLAGE OF 0.814 MILLS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2005/06 FOR THE NORMANDY SHORES LOCAL GOVERNMENT NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT, WHICH IS NINE AND FIVE TENTHS PERCENT (9.5%) LESS THAN THE "ROLLED-BACK" RATE OF 0.899 MILLS. Date: September 21,2005 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) Final adopted millage rate for the Normandy Shores Local Government Neighborhood Improvement District for FY 2005/06: GeneralOperating 0.814 mills (1.123 mills last year) 2) Final adopted millage rate of 0.814 mills is 9.5% less than the "Rolled-back" Rate of 0.899 mills. The first public hearing on the tentative Normandy Shores District millage rate and budget for . FY 2005/06 was held on September 8, 2005. The millage rates presented herein are those which were tentatively adopted at the end of the first public hearing held on that day. 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 2005/06 represents its twelfth 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 2005/06 Final Millage September 21, 2005 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 final millage be adopted first. This is accomplished by adopting a Resolution which states the percent increase or decrease over the "Rolled-back" rate. Following this, another Resolution which adopts the Normandy Shores District operating budget must be approved. 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 of the millage resolution. ANALYSIS On September 8, 2005, the Mayor and City Commission adopted Resolution 2005-25995 which set the tentative ad valorem millage at 0.814. This millage will provide the current level of security required by this district and will generate proceeds of $83,702. The operating budget to provide security services at the current service level to this district is $128,833. 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 current service level budgetary requirement of the district must be supplemented by a contribution from the General Fund in the amount of $45,131 or 35% of the operating budget ($128,833) for the current service levels. The General Fund has funded this difference for each of the eleven years since the District was established. The amount provided by the General Fund for this purpose in FY 2004/05 was $44,362. CONCLUSION The City Commission, acting in its capacity as the Board of Directors of the District, should adopt the attached Resolution which establishes the final millage.
