FROM: Eric M. Soroka, ICMA-CM, Cit
SUBJECT: Resolution Establishing Proposed Millage Rate 2007/08 Fiscal Year
July 19, 2007 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item ~
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Commission adopt a millage rate of 1.7261 for fiscal
year 2007/08 compared to 2.2270 for fiscal year 2006/07. This rate implements the
state imposed property tax reform legislation which is the roll back rate of 1.8968 less
9%. This will generate $15,758,236 based on an assessed value of $9,609,881,719.

DATE: July 11,2007
SUBJECT: Certification of Taxable Value/Dates for Public Hearings
We received the Certification of Taxable Value from Miami Dade's Department of
Property Appraisal on Friday, June 29th. A copy of the form is included as Attachment I.
Taxable Value and Mileage Rates
The Total Taxable Value of $9,609,881,719 is somewhat higher than the $9.26 billion
estimate, which we received from the Property Appraisal Department on June 1 st. The
form includes a breakdown of the increase in taxable value into two segments. The first
segment is the increase in taxable value due to new construction of $249,604,052 (line
5 of the form). The second segment is the portion of the total increase which is due to
increases in taxable value on existing property. This increase is computed as
$1,387,874,403 by subtracting the $7,972,403,264 shown on line 7 from the
$9,360,277,667 shown on line 6 of the form.
The differentiation between the increase due to new taxable value (new construction)
and the increase due to changes in taxable value of existing property is important
because the latter determines the computation of the "rolled back tax rate". Section
200.065 (1), Florida Statutes, defines the "rolled back rate" as that millage rate "which,
exclusive of new construction, additions to structures, deletions, increases in the value
of improvements that have undergone a substantial rehabilitation... will provide the
same ad valorem tax revenue... as was levied during the prior year". In simpler terms,
the rolled back rate is the tax rate necessary to generate exactly the same dollar
amount of tax levy as the previous year's levy had there been no growth or new
construction in the City.
The rolled back rate for Aventura for 2007 (the 2007/2008 fiscal year) is 1.8968 as
shown on lines 15 and 24 of Attachment II. In past years, the rolled back rate was the
most important number on the form because any levy above that rate requires us to
publish a "Notice Of Proposed Tax Increase" in the Herald a few days before our
second public hearing on the budget and property tax rate. The passage of House Bill
1 B (HB1 B) in June 2007 complicates the process of setting a millage rate. In addition,
the State Department of Revenue (DOR) is still in the process of adopting rules and
forms so I am not exactly sure what the advertisement before our second public hearing
will look like.
Page (2)
Memo to City Manager
Certification of Taxable Value/Dates for Public Hearings
HB1 B was adopted by the Florida Legislature in Special Session in June 2007 and was
enacted into Law by Governor Crist's signature on June 21,2007. This Legislation has
been widely publicized as major property tax reform which will result in significant tax
savings for all property taxpapers. While it will result in a significant reduction in the
City, County Commission and most special districts millage rates, it excludes the School
Board millage rate. I am, therefore, afraid most residents will be disappointed when
they finally get the equivalent of the Notice to Proposed Property Taxes in late August.
However, the City can only deal with its own tax rate. HB 1 B establishes that we can
adopt any of three different millage rates. The rate that has been widely reported is the
one which requires us to adopt a rate equal to the rolled back rate for 2007/08 (1.8968
per the Certification of Taxable Value) less a 9% reduction as a form of punishment for
past years increases is taxable values. This tax rate is calculated on the "Municipality
Maximum Millage Levy Calculation" form included as attachment 3 A. This rate
(1.7261 mills) is the one used in our 2007108 Budget and requires only a majority vote of
the City Commission to adopt. Attachments 3 Band 3 C show the other rates which the
City could adopt pursuant to HB 1 B. The calculations on attachment 3 B is to adopt the
roll back rate of 1.8968 mills and would require a super majority (5-2 in our case) vote of
the City Commission. We could adopt our prior year rate of 2.2270 mills based on a
unanimous rate of the City Commission as shown on attachment 3C. However based
on the publicity surrounding the need for property tax reform and the expectations of our
property taxpayers, the decision was made to propose the 1.7261 mills. After a 5%
reduction to cover early payment discounts (up to 4% discount for November payments)
plus possible Value Adjustment Board reductions, the proposed millage rate will
generate the $15,758,236 of ad valorem taxes reflected on page 2-11 of the budget.
You will note that this amount is $1,507,422 less than the $17,265,658 budgeted last
year based on the rate of 2.2270 mills.
Dates For Public Hearings
Since we received the certification on June 30th (treated the same as July 1 st~ state law
requires us to hold two public hearings between September 3rd and October 8 h. I spoke
to the Property Appraisal Department today and they advised me that the County
Commission's public hearings are scheduled for September 6th and 20th and that the
School Board scheduled their hearing for September 5th. OUf meetings cannot conflict
with these meeting dates. In addition, labor Day is observed on September 3rd, our
regular Commission meeting is September 11th, Rosh Hashanah begins at Sundown on
September 12th and Yom Kippur begins at Sundown on September 21st. Therefore, the
most logical dates for our hearings are:

Memo to City Manager
Certification of Taxable Value/Dates for Public Hearings
First public hearing
Second public hearing
6:00PM, Monday, September 10th
6:00PM, Wednesday, September 19th
Since we need to include the date of the first meeting on the Certification of Taxable
Value, we need to have a commitment from the Mayor and Commission by no later than
the July 19th budget review meeting.
The information contained in the preceding paragraphs is based on my review of the
"Manual of Instructions for TRIM Compliance" published by the Division of Ad Valorem
Tax of the Florida Department of Revenue and my review of the requirements of House
Bill 1 B which was enacted in June 2007. Please feel free to call or stop by my office to
discuss this matter.

General Instructions:
"Principal Authority" is a county, municipality, or independent special district (including water management districts).
"Taxing Authority" is the entity levying the millage. This includes the principal authority, any special district
dependent to the principal authority, and any county municipal service taxing unit (MSTU).
Each taxing authority must submit to their property appraiser a DR-420 and the following forms as applicable:
DR-420TIF - Tax Increment Financing
DR-420C - Counties, including any dependent special districts and MSTUs
DR-420M - Municipalities, including any dependent special districts
DR-4201 - Independent special districts
Section I: Property Appraiser Instructions
A Complete Section I for each county, municipality, independent special district, dependent special district, MSTU,
and multi-county taxing authority. Send a signed original to each taxing authority and keep a copy. When the
taxing authority returns the original signed DR-420 and their accompanying form(s), immediately send a copy to:
Florida Department of Revenue
Property Tax Administration Program - TRIM Section
Post Office Box 3000
Tallahassee, Florida 32315-3000
B. Complete lines (1) through (8).
C. Use this form for all taxing authorities except school districts.
D. Enter only taxable values that apply to the taxing authority indicated. Use a separate form for the principal

A Complete Section II Keep one copy, return your signed original to your Property Appraiser with the applicable
DR-420TIF, C, M or I, within 35 days of certification. Send one copy to your tax collector.

FUNDING PLAN
INTRODUCTION
In order for a Capital Improvement Program to be an effective management planning
tool, the program must include not only a compilation of major capital needs and their
costs but also a financing plan for the entire life of the program. This financing plan
must include an analysis of the available resources which will be used to fund not only
the Capital Improvement Program itself but the required operating expenses and debt
service requirements of the City.
In order to ensure that the financing plan is complete in every respect, the plan
formulation process must include:
1. A projection of revenues and resources which will be available to fund
operating and capital expenditures during the life of the Capital
Improvement Program.
2. A projection of future years' operating expenditure levels which will be
required to provide ongoing services to City residents.
3. Once the Capital Improvement Program projects have been evaluated, a
determination is made of the projects to be funded and the timing of the
cash outflow for each project. The information is then tabulated to
determine the amounts required to fund the Capital Improvement Program
for each year.
4. From the information obtained in 1 through 3 above, the additional
resources required to fund the CIP will be determined and a decision will
be made on whether the program is to be financed by the issuance of
debt, on a pay-as-you-go basis or some combination of the two.
The financing plan prepared in such a manner will be as accurate as possible and
should be an informative document to all City residents. However, due to the uncertainty
involved in projecting operating cost increases, the community's desire for service
increases and the inflow of resources over a five year period, the financing plan
presented should be viewed as a theoretical framework to be adjusted each year based
on the most recent information available at that time. This will be accomplished by
updating the financing plan each year, adopting operating and capital budgets, and
ordinances to implement fee structures which will be required to fund the program each
year.
DEBT VS PAY-AS-YOU-GO FINANCING
Debt financing through the issuance of long term bonds is most appropriate when:
1. There are a small number of relatively large dollar value projects.
Capital Improvement Program 2007-2012
Page 9
City of Aventura -
2. The large projects cannot be broken into segments and the costs
distributed over a larger time frame without impairing the usefulness of the
project.
3. The projects are non-recurring.
4. Assets acquired have a relatively long useful life which equals or exceeds
the life of the debt.
Through long term bond financing, the costs of a project having a long useful life can be
shared by future residents who will benefit from the projects.
In contrast, pay-as-you-go financing is most appropriate for a Capital Improvement
Program which includes:
1. A large number of projects having a relatively small dollar value.
2. Projects which can be broken into phases with a portion completed each
year without impairing the overall effectiveness of the project.
3. Projects which are of a recurring nature.
4. Projects where the assets acquired will have relatively short useful lives.
The primary advantage of pay-as-you-go financing is that the interest costs and costs of
bringing a bond issue to market can be avoided. However, if inappropriately used, this
financing plan may cause tax rates and fee structures to increase suddenly and may
result in current residents paying a greater portion of projects which benefit future
residents.
In summary, the choice of the appropriate financing plan will be contingent upon an
analysis of the projects to be included in a Capital Improvement Program.
REQUIRED SEPARATION OF FUNDING SOURCES
In order to comply with accepted governmental accounting practices and to ensure
compliance with City Codes and any related Bond Indentures, the analysis and
financing plan contained herein will be presented within their respective funds. Projects
funded on a pay-as-you-go basis will directly relate to the Capital Fund Budget from
where the source of funding is derived. Each of these Budgets will appear in the Annual
Operating and Capital Improvement Budget, which is adopted each year. Those funds
are currently represented as follows:
1 . General Fund
2. Transportation and Street Maintenance Fund

capital outlay for the Charter School is included in a separate Budget adopted by the
City Commission.
SUMMARY OF FINANCING PLAN MODEL
Detailed funding plans for individual funds of the City are enclosed herein in the
following sections. The following represents an overview of the major points of the
recommended funding plan:
1. Utilize "pay - as - you - go" financing through annual appropriations to fund the total
five year amount of $17,327,909. No additional debt is recommended.
2. Utilize funding from impact fees in the amount of $1,237,181 to assist in the funding
of the park projects and police equipment.
3. Rolls back property tax revenues based on recently enacted tax reform proposals by
the State legislature.

PROPOSED FINANCING PLAN
GENERAL FUND
After evaluating the nature of the various projects that are included in the City's General
Capital Improvement Program, it was decided that pay-as-you-go would be most
appropriate for funding the program.
FINANCING PLAN TABLES
Based on this decision, the analysis which follows is aimed at developing a financing
plan which will allow the City to fund General Government Services operating
expenditures and all projects recommended for funding in the General Capital
Improvement Program for each year of the program.
Table 1 presents a five (5) year projection of resources which will be available for
General Government Services. Unless shown by an asterisk (*), the amount projected
for each revenue is based on the tax rate or fee structure in effect during the 2006/07
fiscal year. Revenue descriptions followed by an asterisk (*) were computed based on a
projected increase in the rate structure as discussed in the assumption of projections.
Table 2 presents a five (5) year projection of required operating expenses for General
Government Services which utilize the cost data as outlined in the assumption of
projections.
Table 3 is a recap of resources available to fund the General Capital Improvement
Program based on projected revenues and expenditures and the proposed Capital
Improvement Program appropriations for the five (5) years of the program. Please note
that this analysis assumes that all available resources not needed to fund current
operating expenditures will be transferred to the Capital Improvement Program Fund
and that any balance in the Capital Improvement Program Fund will remain in the
Capital Improvement Program. Through this process, the City will be able to accumulate
a reserve which would be used to fund unexpected capital outlays or to fund future
years' programs.

STORMWATER UTILITY FUND
The City of Aventura is responsible for stormwater management activities within the
corporate boundaries.
In order to address deficiencies and develop an ongoing maintenance program, a
Stormwater Utility Fund was created. The Fund generates revenues for stormwater
management costs, permitting, maintenance and capital improvements from a source
other than the General Fund, gas taxes or ad valorem taxes. The Utility relies on user
fees charged to residents and businesses for generating revenues.
The City has recognized the need and importance of taking a pro-active approach
toward stormwater management. The stormwater drainage improvements contained in
the five year Capital Improvement Program were based on a complete survey of all
areas of the City conducted by the Community Services Department together with the
City's consulting engineers.
The Fund will be responsible for ongoing operation and maintenance costs, as well as
capital improvements.
Table 7 reflects the anticipated revenues available and the proposed appropriations for
the Stormwater Utility Fund for the five year period.
A total of $1 ,160,000 worth of stormwater drainage projects will be completed during the
five year period. The monthly rate charged to users per unit was $2.50 for 2006/07. It is
not recommended that the fee be increased during the next five years.
