Item summaryiltecommenaation:
The operating budget to provide security services to this district is $157,184. This is 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 cover an FY 2006/07 revenue shortfall that was advanced by the City, due to an error by the
Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser with the Certified 2006 Taxable Value. The final ad valorem millage
recommended by the Administration is 1.0363 to provide the current level of security required by this
district and repay the City for the shortfall in FY 2006/07. This tax levy will generate proceeds of
$148,820.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 $55,013 or 35% of the 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 2006/07 was $47,305.

COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor David Dermer and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Jorge M. Gonzalez, City Manager
DATE: September 26, 2007
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE NORMANDY SHORES
LOCAL GOVERNMENT NEIGHBORHOOD IMPROVEMENT DISTRICTADOPTING THE
FINAL OPERATING BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR (FY) 2007/08.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution which establishes the final operating budget for the District for FY 2007/08 in
the amount of $203,833.
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 "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". 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. 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 Govemment
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°/a 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 2007/08.
Accordingly, the Normandy Shores taxing district millage needs for FY 2007/08 needs to be set at
the level needed to cover FY 2007/08 expenditures (0.7115) as well as repay the FY 2006/07
shortfall (0.3248) for a total Normandy Shores millage of 1.0363.

Normandy Shores Budget
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 final millage for Normandy Shores District has been adopted (See
accompanying Agenda Item R7B1 for details).
ANALYSIS
The final operating budget for the District is as follows:
Revenues
Ad Valorem Tax $ 148,820
City's General Fund 55,013
Total $ 203,833
Expenses
Security Service $ 138,902
Maintenance 18,282
Repayment of FY 07 shortfall 46.649
Total $ 203,833
On September 17, 2007, the Mayor and City Commission adopted the operating budget for the
District in the amount of $203,833 and an operating millage of 1.0363 mills.
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 2006/07 shortfall arising
from the error made by the County Property Appraiser's Office, for a total budget of $203,833.
The final 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 2006/07.
This tax levy will generate proceeds of $148,820.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 $55,013 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 2006/07 was
$47,305.
CONCLUSION
The City Commission, acting in its capacity as the Board of Directors of the Normandy Shores
Local Government Neighborhood Improvement District, should adopt the attached Resolution
which establishes the final operating budget.
