Normandy Shores FY 2006/2007 Tentative Millage
Page 2 of 3
July 12, 2006
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 2006/07 represents its thirteenth 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 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.
Statutory Requirement
FS 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 June 30, 2006), to the Miami-Dade County
Property Appraiser, a proposed operating millage rate, the calculated rolled-back rate and
the date, time, and place of the first public hearing to consider the proposed operating
millage rate and tentative budget for Fiscal Year 2006/07.
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 0.338 millage rate would require an expensive mailing and advertising process to
each property owner of Normandy Shores. Therefore, this proposed millage rate is viewed
as the ceiling.
ANAL YSIS
On June 30, 2006, the City received the 2006 Certification of Taxable Value from the
Property Appraiser's Office stating that the taxable value for Normandy Shores is
$269,642,346 which included $514,306 in new construction. The preliminary value
represents an increase of 155 percent over 2005's final value of $1 05,441,735. Alternately,
the increase is 153 percent over 2005's preliminary value of $1 06,557,047. The difference of
$1,115,321 between 2005's preliminary and final values represents the equalization loss of
approximately one percent due to appeals.
Qoeratinq Millaoe and Budoet
The tentative ad valorem millage recommended by the Administration is 0.338 mills to
provide the current level of security required by this district. This tax levy will generate
proceeds of $87,949. The total operating budget to provide security services at the current
service level to this district is $135,254. This is comparable to the current year end
projections. An additional $3,000 is included in the budget to fund upgrading the electronic
access system. The difference between the revenues which will be generated from ad-
valorem tax proceeds and the total budgetary requirement of the district must be
supplemented by a contribution from the General Fund in the amount of $47,305 or 35% of
the total operating budget.
The General Fund has funded this difference for each of the twelve years since the District
was established. The amount provided by the General Fund forthis purpose in FY 2005/06
was $45,131.
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 gate guard. 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.
It must be noted that in accordance with State Statute, there is a 10 mill operating cap which
cannot be exceeded without voter approval. Combining both millages from the dependent
district (0.338) and the principal taxing authority (7.374) totals 7.712 mills, which is 2.288
mills less than the 10 mill cap.
First Public HearinQ
The first public hearing on the proposed operating millage rate and tentative budget for FY
2006/07 must be held no later than 80 days (September 18th) or earlier than 65 days
(September 3rd) from the start of the TRIM calendar (July 1 st). Other guidelines are: 1) The
public hearing cannot be scheduled on a Sunday or on those days utilized by Miami-Dade
County orthe 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 3rd and
September 18th. These dates are unavailable for the following reasons:
September 3, 10 and 17
