CITY OF AVENTURA OFFICE OFTHECITY MANAGER MEMORANDUM TO: FROM: DATE: SUBJECT: City Commission ~ Eric M Soroka, C,~,1~ ~nageI June 18, 1999 Resolution Adopting in Principle the Capital Improvement Program Document 1999/00 to 2003~2004 July 6, 1999 City Commission Meeting Agenda Item RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution adopting, in principle, subject to annual revision and authorization, the Capital Improvement Program for 1999/00 to 2003/04. BACKGROUND The 1999/00 to 2003/04 Capital Improvement Program document represents the second update of the CIP that was originally prepared for the five-year cycle of 1997 to 2002. The document was reviewed at the May Commission Workshop Meeting. Since the Workshop Meeting, more up-to-date revenue and expenditure information was available relating to the five-year projections. The preliminary assessed taxable valuable amount for the City provided by the Property Appraisers Office rose 9%, not 2.5% as originally projected. The operating expenditures for the 1999/00 Fiscal Year were revised to reflect the proposed budget amounts to be submitted to the City Commission next month. The operating expenditure increase will only be 10% not 12% as originally projected. Based on the results of these revisions, $2,500,000 was added to the anticipated reserve at the end of the five-year period. The reserve in the fifth year increased from $3,644,924 to $6,144,173. I have attached revised Tables 1, 2 and 3 of the CIP document. Memo to City Commission Page 2 Over eighty (80) copies of the document and a cover letter advising them of the meeting were distributed to the various condominium boards in the City and major businesses. Once the CIP is adopted, the first year 1999/00 will be incorporated into the proposed 1999/00 budget. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Attached is a recent article on the law and a copy of the legislation adopted by the State Legislature. An Aventura resident called this week to ask how the City would be enacting this new law. I spoke with Angela Newman with the Miami-Dade County Property Appraiser's Office, who informed me that cities must pass an ordinance accepting the law. After the ordinance is enacted, we must forward a copy to her office for enactment. I marked the language in the bill, which authorizes municipalities to enact the law. Because this office will surely receive more calls from elderly residents regarding this law, I recommend forwarding this issue to the City Attorney for review and recommendation. Please let me know if you have any questions or need additional information. Tax break for many homeowners over 65 becomeSAlaam her art, who backed the measure since 1995 to little avail. HBY LE6LEY CLARK erald Capital Bureau TALLAHASSEE -- Flanked by two Miami-Dada lawmakers, Gov. Jab Bush Wednesday signed into law a bill that could give Flor- ida's poorest seniors a tax break. Pushed for the past four years by Miami Republicans Rep. Alex Villalobos and Sen. Marlo Diaz- Balart, the law allows counties to give people 65 and older who earn less than $20,000 a year up to an extra $25,000 cut in the taxable value of their homes. That's in addition to the $25,000 home- stead exemption that Florida homeowners receive. Voters already approved the measure last November when they voted for a constitutional amend- ment. The bill allows it to happen. "Voters by a resounding margin said, 'Yes, elders on fixed income, on low income, should receive this break,'" Bush said. "Their incomes don't go up, but their costs go up." The law, which could bring relief to an estimated 100,000 households in Miami-Dade County, enjoys support from Miami-Dade Mayor Alex Penelas. In some cities, the tax break could be as much as $600 a year. The governor's signature was a relief to Villalobos and Diaz-Bal- of the then-minority Republican party, Villalobos said, he was told it would pass "when pigs fly." He toted an umbrella to the signing "to guard against the pigs." a-mall: Iclark@herald.conl Senate Bill 0384 hllp://wwwleg.state.fl.us/session/.../billtexlAmnl/billtext/sb0384.hlml Senate Bill 0384 CODING: Words s~4de~ are deletions; words underlined are additions.

Everton Date: June 25, 1999 To: Property Appraisers Tax Collectors Taxing Authorities FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF REVENUE PROPERTY TAX BULLETIN ADDITIONAL HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION FOR PERSONS 65 AND OLDER The 1999 Legislature enacted Chapter 99-341, Laws of Florida, effective July 1, 1999 (see Committee Substitute 'for Committee Substitute for House Bill 29'1). This new legislation creates section 196.075, Florida Statutes, in accordance with express authority provided in a recent revision of the State Constitution approved by electors of Florida at the November 3, 1998, general election, which took effect January 1, 1999 (see Section 6(f), Article Vll, of the Florida Constitution, and 1998 House Joint Resolution 3151). The law allows both counties and municipalities, through adoption of an ordinance, to each grant an additional homestead tax exemption of up to $25,000 to resident homeowners who have legal or equitable title to the real estate, who are at least 65 years of age on January 1 of the year for which the application for exemption is read,and whose annual household income for the prior year does not exceed ~,zu,000. The law defines the terms "household" and "household income" and provides for a cost- of-living increase for the income limitation beginning January 1,2001. A copy of the new law is attached to this bufletin. This new legislation provides that the county or municipal ordinance must be adopted b.~ December 1 pursuant to the procedures contained in section 125.66(2), Florida Statutes, for adoption of a non-emergency ordinance. The exemption can apply only to taxes levied by the unit of government granting the exemption; and, unless otherwise specified, such exemption will apply to all tax levies of the county or municipality granting the exemption, including dependent special districts and municipal service taxing units. The amount of the exemption, which cannot exceed $25,000, must also be specified in the ordinance. If the unit of government granting the exemption specifies a different amount for dependent special districts or municipal service taxing units, the exemption amount must be a uniform amount in all dependent special districts or municipal service taxing districts within the county or municipality. The ordinance must also require a taxpayer claiming the exemption to annually submit a sworn statement of household income, on a form prescribed by the Department of Revenue, to the property appraiser not later than March 1. The new law authorizes the Department of Revenue to prescribe rules and forms pertaining to the exemption. The Department is developing forms and rules to implement this new law, which will take effect by January 1, 2000. Interested parties should provide input in the rulemaking process during the summer and fall of 1999. (Over) Persons entitled to the regular homestead exemption may apply for the additional homestead exemption provided by the new law. The new law requires the applicant taxpayer to submit to the property appraiser, by March 1, a sworn statement of adjusted gross income of the household for the prior year. Persons applying should be encouraged to file the necessary supporting income documentation, if available, along with the sworn statement of adjusted household income that is required to be filed with the property appraiser no later than March 1. If this required sworn statement is filed timely, the law allows applicants three additional months, until June 1, to provide the required supporting income documentation to the property appraiser if more time is needed. Persons receiving the additional homestead exemption are subject to the provisions of sections 196.131 and 196.161, Florida Statutes, pertaining to wrongful receipt of a homestead exemption. If title to the property is held jointly with right of survivorship, the person residing on the property and otherwise, g.ualify. Jng ma)/re~ei'~e the (~tire amount of the additional homestead exemption. The board of county commissioners or municipal governing authority must notify the property appraiser of the adoption of an ordinance no later than December 1 of the year prior to the year the exemption takes place. Therefore, this exemption will be available for the first time in tax year 2000. If the ordinance is later repealed the board of county commissioners or municipal governing authority must notify the property appraiser of the adoption of an ordinance no later than December 1 of the year prior to the year the exemption expires. In those counties and municipalities where this additional exemption is granted by local ordinance, the property appraiser will be responsible for receiving applications for the new exemption, evaluating the applications and their supporting documentation, informing citizens if their application was accepted or rejected, and applying the exemption to the tax roll. The property appraiser will have to ascertain which cities, if any, have adopted an exemption ordinance, and for how much, as welt as the amount of any county exemption ordinance in existence; and, monitor the repeal of any exemption ordinances. This information is being furnished by the Depsrtment of Revenue to advise interested parties of legislative action taken during the t999 session. If you have questions regarding the administration of this new law and wish to discuss them, you may call Jeffrey Picker at (850) 488-0712.
