FROM:
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 Fiscal Year (FY) 2000/01
Normandy Shores
0.953 mills (0.955 last year)
2) The adopted millage rate of 0.953 mills is 3.3% greater than the "Rolled-back" rate of 0.923
mills.
The first public hearing on the tentative Normandy Shores District millage rate and budget for FY
2000/01 was held on September 14, 2000. The millage rates presented herein are those which were
tentatively adopted at the end of the first public hearing held on September 14,2000,
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.
AGENDA ITEM
IL lei
Cf-27-(x)
DATE
Normandy Shores FY 2000/01 Final Millage
Page 2
September 27,2000
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. (See
accompanying Agenda Item R7Cl for details).
The statute requires the name of the taxing authority, the rolled- back rate, the percentage increase,
and the millage rate be publicly announced before the adoption of the millage levy resolution.
Therefore, only the resolution title should be announced before the adoption of the millage
resolution.
BACKGROUND
The Normandy Shores Local Government Neighborhood Improvement District (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 2000/01 represents its 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". Based on the January 1,2000,
"Certification of Taxable Values" for the district, the highest taxable property assessment within the
district is valued at $524,547, which requires a millage rate of 0.953. This millage yields an
assessment of $499.89 (less than $500).
ANALYSIS
The final ad valorem millage recommended by the Administration is 0.953 mills to provide the level
of security services required by this district. At this millage, no property owner's levy will exceed
$500. This tax levy will generate proceeds of $52,766, which is solely due to the manner in which
the millage must be calculated, given the $500 limitation. The total operating budget to provide
security services to this district for FY 2000/01 is $94,650. This is a small increase from the current
year end projections of$9l,250. 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
in the amount of$4l,884 or 44% of the total operating budget.
The General Fund has funded this difference for each of the six years since the District was
established. The amount provided by the General Fund for this purpose in FY 1999/00 was $39,682.
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 ofthe operation of the
community guard gate. This cost will be funded from the operation of the renovated 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 tentative millages from the dependent district
(0.953) and the principal taxing authority (7.399) totals 8.352 mills, which is 1.648 mills less than
the 10 mill cap.
CONCLUSION
The City Commission, acting in its capacity as the Board of Directors of the District, should adopt
the attached Resolution which establishes a final millage.
