A resolution adopting the tentative operating budget for the Normandy Shores Local Government

scheduled on Wednesday, September 17, 2008 at 5:02 p.m.

Supporting Data (Surveys, Environmental Scan, etc.):
Safety across the City (preventing crime, drugs, gangs, speeding cars) was ranked number one by
residents as one of the most important areas affecting their quality of life and it was also mentioned as one
of the changes that would make Miami Beach a better place to live, work, play, or visit. Safety during the
day appeared as a key driver for resident's perceptions of Miami Beach as a place to live and overall
quality of life. Also, crime prevention was ranked number four by residents as one of the most important
areas that the City can address with regards to public safety.
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, approve the tentative operating budget for
the District for FY 2008/09 in the amount of $152,278 subject to a second Public Hearing scheduled on
Wednesday, September 17, 2008, at 5:02 P.M.
Item Summa /Recommendation:
The operating expenditures to provide security services at the current service level to this district is
$152,278, a 25% decrease from the FY 2007/08 amount of $203,833. In FY 2007/08, the budget included
a $46,649 one-time repayment to the City for a property tax collection shortfall that occurred in FY
2006/07. The FY 2007/08 budget would have been $157,184 net of the one-time repayment. Therefore,
the FY 2008/09 budget reflects a decrease of $4,906 or 3.1 percent from the FY 2007/08 budget for
operations reflecting a savings in operating costs. The tentative ad valorem millage recommended by the
Administration is 0.7227 mills to provide the current level of security required by this district. This tax levy
will generate proceeds of $98,981.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 $53,297 or 35% of the total operating budget. The
General Fund has funded this difference for each of the fifteen years since the District was established.
The amount rovided b the General Fund for this ur ose in FY 2007/08 was $55,014.

Adopt the Resolution which establishes the tentative operating budget for the District for FY
2008/09 in the amount of $152,278, subject to a second public hearing to be held on
Wednesday, September 17, 2008.
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 2008/09 represents its fifteenth 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 gate guard. 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 capon 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.
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).
FY 2008/09 Normandy Shores Budget

ANALYSIS
The tentative operating budget for the District is as follows:
Revenues
Ad Valorem Tax $ 98,981
City's General Fund 53.297
Total $ 152,278
Expenses
Security Service $ 138,902
Maintenance 13,376
Total $ 152,278
The proposed ad valorem millage recommended by the Administration is 0.7227 mills to provide
the current level of security required by this district. This tax levy will generate proceeds of
$98,981. The total operating expenditures to provide the current service level to this district is
$152,278 for FY 2008/09. The City of Miami Beach General Fund is required to provide 35% of
the total operating expenditures ($53,297), and the City has funded the 35% for each of the
fifteen years since the District was established. The amount provided by the General Fund for
this purpose in FY 2007/08 was $55,014. The $152,278 in FY 2008/09 represents a $51,555
decrease (25%) from the FY 2007/08 budget of $203,833. In FY 2007/08, the budget included a
$46,649 one-time repayment to the City for a property tax collection shortfall that occurred in FY
2006/07. The FY 2007/08 budget would have been $157,184 net of the one-time repayment.
Therefore, the FY 2008/09 budget reflects a decrease of $4,906 or 3.1 percent from the FY
2007/08 budget for operations reflecting a savings in operating costs.
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 a tentative operating budget and schedules the second and final public
hearing.
