ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution which establishes
200.7108 in the amount. of $203,833,
Wednesday, September 26, 2007.
the tentative operating budget for the District for FY
subject to a second public hearing to be held on
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 2007108 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
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. It was
further agreed that the City would continue to supplement the District at current levels until both
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 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.
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 Property
Appraiser last year. Had the millage been based on this correct value for FY 2006/07, it should
only have been reduced from 0.814 to 0.720. Therefore, property tax collections in FY 2006/07
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.

Normandy Shores Budget
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.
Pursuant to the Roll-Back component of the legislation adopted by the Florida legislature in June,
the aggregate taxes levied by the City of Miami Beach and any dependent taxing district within
the City of Miami Beach for FY 2007/08 are required to be to the roll back rate plus an additional
9% reduction. Because of reductions in the overall Citywide millage, the aggregate taxes levied,
including Normandy Shores will be 9 percent less than the Roll-Back Rate, as required.
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 tentative millage for Normandy Shores District has been adopted (See
accompanying Agenda Item R7B1 for details}.

The operating expenditures to provide security services at the current service level to this district
is $157,184, a 16% increase over the FY 2006//07 amount of $135,254, due to increased
contract costs. An additional $46,649 is included in the budget to fund the FY 2006107 shortfall
arising from the error made by the County Property Appraiser's Office, for a total budget of
$203,833. At the July 11, 2007 Commission meeting, the Mayor and City Commission adopted
Resolution 2007-26605, which set the operating millage rate for the District at 1.0363 mills. The
tentative ad valorem millage recommended by the Administration is 1.0363 mills to provide the
current level of security required by this district and repay the City for the shortfall in FY 2006107.
This tax levy will generate proceeds of $148,819.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 $55,014 or 35%
of the total operating budget.
The General Fund has funded this difference for each of the thirteen years since the District was
established. The amount provided by the General Fund for this purpose in FY 2006107 was
$47,339.
