COMMISSION ITEM SUMMARY
Condensed Title:
A resolution of the Board Of Directors of The Normandy Shores Local Government Neighborhood
Improvement District adopting the tentative Ad Valorem Millage Rate Of 1.0363 Mills For The Normandy
Shores Neighborhood Improvement District, which is two hundred and sixty six and six tenths percent
(266.6%) above the Calculated Rolled-Back Rate Of 0.2827 Mills, subject to a second public hearing
scheduled on Wednesday, September 26, 2007 At 5:02 P.M.
Issue:
Shall 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 tentative Ad Valorem Millage Rate; the Calculated Rolled-Back Rate; and sets the date, time and place
for the second public hearing?
On June 29' 2007, the City received a revised 2006 taxable value from the Property Appraiser in the
amount of $126,517,149. The reduction was a correction to an error made by the PropertyAppraiser last
year. Had the millage been based on this correct value for FY 2006107, it should only have been reduced
from 0.814 to 0.720. Therefore, property tax collections in FY 2006107 are projected to be $46,649 less
than budgeted resulting in a shortfall which will need to be advanced from the City and repaid by the
Normandy Shores taxing district in FY 2007108. Accordingly, the Normandy Shores taxing district millage
needs for FY 2007108 needs to be set at the level needed to cover FY 2007108 expenditures (0.7115) as
well as repay the FY 2006107 shortfall (0.3248) for a total Normandy Shores millage of 1.0363.

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 Govemment Neighborhood Improvement
District, adopt the attached resolution which sets the following:
1) The tentatively adopted millage rate for the Normandy Shores Neighborhood
Improvement District for FY 2007!08:
General Operating 1.0363 mills (0. 338 mills last year)
2} The tentatively adopted millage rate of 1.0363 mills is 266.6% greater than the "Rolled-
back" Rate of 0.2827 mills.
3) The second public hearing to consider the final Normandy Shores District millage rate

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 2007!08 represents its fourteenth year of
operation.
It was established by Ordinance 93-2881, and has the authority "tolevy 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". During FY 1998199, 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
Page 2
Normandy Shores Millage
would fund 35% of the annual cost of the operation of the community guard gate. This cost will
eventual) be funded from the golf course operation of the Normandy Shores Golf Course. Itwas
Y
further a reed that the City would continue to supplement the District at current levels until both
g
issues were resolved. On August 29, 2002, the Administration met with the Normandy Shores
Local Government Neighborhood Improvement District representatives and agreed to eliminate
the $500 ca on the highest valued home in the District. The enabling legislation was adopted by
p
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.
The General Fund has funded 35% of the operating costs of the district for each of the thirteen
ears since the District was established. The amount provided by the General Fund for this
Y
purpose in FY 2006107 was $47,339.
PROCEDURE
Theo erating millage and budget for this dependent special taxing district must be adopted in
p
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 tentative millage be adopted first. This is accomplished by adopting a
Resolution which states the percent increase or decrease over the "Rolled-back" rate, and the
date, time, and place of the second public hearing scheduled to adopt the final millage. Following
this, another Resolution which tentatively adopts the Normandy Shores District operating budget
must be approved. (See accompanying Agenda item R7B2 for details}.
The statute re uires the name of the taxing authority, the rolled-back rate, the percentage
q
increase, and the millage rate be publicly announced before adoption of the millage resolution.
ANALYSIS
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 represented an increase of 155
percent over 2005's final value of $105,441,735.
On June 29, 2007, the City received the 2007 Certification of Taxable Value from the Property
Appraiser's Office stating that the taxable value for Normandy Shores is $151,165,373 which
included $61,160 in new construction. At the same time, the 2006 Final Value was revised to
$126,364,329. Upon further review with the Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser's Office, it
was determined that the 2006 Certified taxable value that had been received the prior year was in
error.
Had the millage been based on the correct preliminary value for FY 2006107 of $126,517,149, it
should only have been reduced from 0.814 to 0.720. Therefore, property tax collections in FY
2006107 are projected to be $46,649 less than budgeted resulting in a shortfall which will need to
be advanced from the City and repaid by the Normandy Shores taxing district in FY 2007108.
The operating expenditures to provide security services at thecurrent service level to this district
is $157,184, a 16% increase over the FY 2006I/07 amount of $135,254, due to increased
contract costs. Of this amount, the City of Miami Beach General Fund is required to provide 35%
of the total operating expenditures, $55,014, and the Normandy Shore taxing district is required
to fund $65%, or $102,170.
Page 2
Normandy Shores Millage
In addition to the $102,170 for security services in FY 2007!08, the taxing district needs to repay
$46,649 to the Cityof Miami Beach forthe FY 2006107 shortfall, fora total of $148,819 to be paid
by the Normandy Shores taxing district in FY 2007108.
For the Normandy Shores taxing District, the value for each mill ($1.00 of ad valorem tax for each
$1,000 of property value} is determined by the 2007 Certification of Taxable Value and has been
set at $151,165. Florida Statutes permit a discount of up to five percent for early payment
discounts, delinquencies, etc. Therefore, the 95 percent value of the mill is $143,607.
Accordingly, 1.0363 mills are required to generate $148,819 in property tax revenues by the
district.
The tentative ad valorem millage recommended by the Administration is 1.0363 mills to provide
the current level of security required by this district as well as repay the City of Miami Beach for
the shottfall in FY 2006107. This tax levy will generate proceeds of $148,819.
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
(1.0363} and the principal taxing authority (5.6555} totals fi.fi918 mills, which is 3.3082 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 tentative millage and schedules the second and final
public hearing.
