It is the business, banking, and office employment center of the southeast Florida region. It is an expanding commercial core with increasing national and international significance. Downtown Miami is experiencing a resurgence in activities that once located elsewhere. Expanding retail, tourist, and resi- dential activities are reversing a twenty-year trend,which is helping to produce once again a diversified downtown envi- ronment; a Downtown with special. needs, unique, special prob- lems and most importantly, virtually unlimited opportunities. Downtown continues its regional focus for certain activities. Recent projections indicate an increasing concentration of doumtown employees in many business sectors. During 1970, as identified by the 1970 Census of Population and Housing, forty percent of Dade's employment has located in the City of ;Miami (1) . The following table shows the importance of the proposed Special Taxing District compared to the entire City of Miami. -2- , TABLE I Selected 1975 Characteristics Special Taxing; District and City of ;~Ji.ami (l ) Characteristic Special Taring District Number As Percent of Miami Retail Employment 7,399 270 Of f ice Employment 39,964 51c,o IIotel-Motel Employment 1,789 65ro Total Net Acreage 689.46 40 Estimated Population 13,109 4o (1) Source: City of 'Miami.

About 2,000 new hotel rooms are planned, as well. These increases in commercial activities are expected to increase, employment by nearly 29,000 workers between 1075 and 1985 to a total of about 87,000 employees (4). Planning, for a Strong Downtown Miami Public policy clearly identifies a strong, viable downtown .Miami in the 19S0's and 1.9001s. llinmi's Central Business District (C.B.D. ) is the only recognized diversified, regional activity center in Dade County according to the Comprehensive Development Master Plan (C.D.M.P.) Dade's master plan states that tho concept of a regional activity center etnnha si:-es growth around "centers of activity" rather than directionless; sprawl..

The twenty percent increase in major crimes in the proposed taxing; district at a time when major crimes increased by eight percent for Miami as a whole, is a cause for great concern. This large increase during; a time of general economic upsurge, especially in Dotivntown-Brickell, is an indication that a different kind of crime problem is emei, ing that necessitates special crime prevention and protection measures.

Patrol coverage in Down- town (Miami and in Brickell could not be increased at the expenses of other areas in the City. The MPD recommends the hiring of 16 new officers and the purchase and equipping of 8 cars or three ivhccicr:- to provide additional coverage over and ahove the current police commitment. The 16 additional NIPD officers would provide plainclothes officers concen- trating on pick -pockets, street frauds, purse snatches, robberies, drug sales, muggings, panhandling, and shop- lifting. Additional uniform coverage would concentrate on traffic flow, vagrancy, park patrol truancy, walk- throughs of largo buildings, burglary of autos, im- proved arrival times and would provide a visibility presence. The MPD estimates that the yearly cost of placing one new uniformed officer in Downtown is S-10,000. This cost estimate includes pension costs, automobile, insurance, training and administrative support. A detailed cost brealcdo:cii is included in Attarl=,nt 13, provided by the 'Miami. Police Department. Total. costs projected for a I,(:, , 16 man Downtown force total $6.10, 000 per N?(-nr. -in- ATTACHMENT "A" SPECTA1.

Special Service Tax District -A Cost Allocation Methodology This paper will propose a taxing; formula to cover the costs of additional police services within the City's proposed Special Service Taxing District. The need for increased police protection in the District was outlined in an earlier Planning Department study - Downtown Miami Special Tax District Proposal for Additional Police Ser- vice (see attached). This need has been transformed into the required increment of police service and cost for this service as set forth in a study prepared by the Police Department staff: Proposed Staffing Levels For Special Taring District (see attached). As the "special services" have already been clearly quan- tified, the problem then becomes how to allocate this total cost among properties in the District's geographic area. Like property taxes, special assessments are levied against property rather than against persons or organizations. Spe- cial assessments are often included on the property tax statement, and collection and foreclosure procedures are similar. On the other hand, there is an important difference between property taxes and special assessments. Property taxes are levied for general public purposes, and there is not require- ment that the taxed property crust receive services or bene- fits in proportion tn tho tali levy. Special assessment, in contrast, are levied to finance Specific projocts - usually capital improvements - and the levy is distributed on the basis of a formula or procedure which relates the charge against -a parcel of property to the services or bene- fits received. " Economic justification for the use of special assessments rests upon three arguments: (1) equity, (2) promotion of economic efficiency, and (3) revenue hroduction.l In its -j.mplest form, the equity .argument is that if the benefits of local improvements or services accrue to tho o.,:ners of specific pieces of property then those owners, ra- ther than the public at large, should be assessed for the costs. 1� Fisher, Glenn 17., Financing Local. Governments by Special As se:;tinuent llunicinal Finanoe Officers Association, 197.4. -1- It is not equitable to pay the cost of producing such pri- vate benefits from revenues collected from the general public or from a small group of individuals other than those benefited. Special assessments when properly used may contribute to economic efficiency. Since it would be extremely costly for individual properties in the District to establish their own security systems and maintain them at a level equal to that of the City Police force, economic efficiency would be prompted by establishing a district -wide service. This district -wide service is what is known in economic terms as a "public good". By definition, a public good is one from whose consumption it is not possible to exclude those who do not pay. Therefore, efficiency can only be achieved if equity is enforced. In this case, the City taxing authority would require that all those properties which stand to benefit from the service- a public good, bear their share of the cost. On a somewhat more pragmatic basis, special assessments, are often justified as a revenue source which avoids some of the legal restrictions on local taxation and borrowing, and which, under certain conditions, may be more acceptable to taxpayers than are other sources of revenue. To the extent that spe- cial assessments are utilized for projects desired by a large percentage of those who will be assessed, special assessments may be more acceptable to citizens than are increased tax levies. Economic and le„al theories of special assessments assume that increased services financed by spocial assessments bene- fit both the. public at large, and specific parcels of pro- perty. It is assumed for purposes of t-his study that public benefits are small in comparison to those private benefits received by the individual properties in the District. There- fore, to simplifv the allocation process the full cost of the increasdd services will be assumed by individual property owners in the District. In order to understand the procedures usually followed, it is important to distin-uish between the allocation of costs and the allocation of benefits. In the first place, benefits are expressed in some more or less arbitrary unit, often dollars. The thooreti.cally ideal method of allocating private benefits i.nvolvc-s subtractinu the value of each parcel before the in- creased service is in the picture from the value of the par- cel after it has increased as a result of the increased service. Of fr , The benefit to each parcel divided by the total benefit would be the proportion of costs to be allocated to that parcel. A case can be made for taxing away the entire increased in value that results from the improvement even though this may exceed the total cost. This has not been the practice in the United States, and such a procedure would probably face serious constitutional barriers. Actually little use has been made of the direct appraisal method. Common practice has hen to use a formula involving one or more factors which serve as an index or proxy for benefits. Among the simpler of these are formulas based on front footage or area. An even simpler approach is to assume that all lots benefit equally. Often however, more complicated formulas in- volving a weighted application of two or more factors are used. For purposes of this study, it is assumed that benefits to the District's individual properties will -far exceed the cost of providing the increased service. The equity condi- tion is met on the assumption that individual property bene- fits would be so great that virtually no chance exists for a property to be assessed a service charge in excess of the benefits it would receive. This being the case, the problem then transforms itself to formulating a methodology whereby properties are assessed on their ability to pay. It is ex- pected that the ability to pay for the service, as measured by some proxy for income or vnlue, correlates highly with Vie benefits to be received since the potential dama_e to a property from crime would correlate hi:;hly with its income or value of goods and property. One method would be to distribute the cost of the increased service amonti properties on the basis of their relative pro- perty Value. Properties with hi ghr.r land values NN-Ould pad• a larger share 1s would prop(?rties Nvi.th greater imnrovements. Total property va.luc is the sum of its land value and build- in- value. Ullld value for a property is calculated using comparable proport,; sailos in the irlmrdiato urroundin, areaat the time of the valualLion. The Special.

The deflated per square foot figure is then ap- figure for number of total square feet on to arrive at the property's building value. value can then be added to the land value the property's total value. A final factor which will be included in the allocation formula is the length of property frontage on streets. this factor is included to account for the added benefits which would accrue to properties with wider frontages on streets, especially corner properties. These properties are considered to more susceptible to crime, and therefore, more likely to benefit from increased police service. This factor is mathematically calculated for a particular property by dividing; that property's front foot- a;e length by the total length of front footage in the District. This figure is then weighted by a factor of .33 and added to the land and building property value figure which is weighted by..di. The resulting figure then rep- resents that property's share of the Districts total annual cost for the increased service. -4- W CITY OF MIAMI.
