Miami Beach Board Of REALTORS� Thank you for the opportunity to appear before you on
behalf of the Real Estate Action Council of Dade Inc. which
represents the Miami Board of REALTORS, Miami Beach, Hialeah -
Miami Springs, Kendall-Perrine, Coral Gables and Homestead -
South Dade Boards. Historically, REALTORS have been opposed
to Impact Fees because we believe the cost of living and office;
f
E
units is escalated unfairly with such a fee. REACD and the
Miami Board of REALTORS have not had an opportunity to study
the ordinance under consideration today and therefore neither
support -it nor oppose it.
However, we strongly oppose any extension of the Impact Fee
in the future to single-family, residential units.
I am before you today to urge you to postpone any consider-
ation of the Impact Fee Ordinance pending the adoption by the
legislature of the Flexible Financing Act of 1986, which, if
passed, would give the City Of Miami and all other munici-
palities up to eight other sources of revenue which you do not
now have. p / 2 e3 more....

Specifically, the bill, which has strong support in the Se -ate and
House, would:
* Remove all state restrictions on local occupational license taxes and
give clear authority to cities and counties to le,,_v occupational license
taxes based on gross receipts of a business.
* Require county property appraisers to conduct mid -year assessments of
real property in order to reduce the time lag for new construction to
be added to the tax roll.
* Permit local governments to impose the public service tax (stility tax)
on purchases of cable television services.
* Authorize municipalities to create special service taxing units similar
in scope and function to municipal service taxing units already author-
ized for creation by counties.
* Expand the statutory definition of geographical areas eligible for tax
increment financinct to include infrastructure deficient as well as
blighted areas.
* Create a state infrastructure bank for the sale of bonds to a local
government for financing infrastructure.
* Increase the portion of state revenue sharing funds available to bond-
ing by local governments.
* Permit municipal utilities to retain unclaimed customer deposits for
their general funds after conducting a search for the depositor. Current
law provides for these funds to be turned over to the state_
