INTER•OrFICE MEMORANDUM
O A T I? October 7, 1980 riLC
;(jUit�:T Special Service District
for Downtown
F:NCLUtiU(EF.S 1
Representatives of the City and County staffs as well as the City's Law Department
met with Bob Ginsberg, the Dade County attorney to discuss the procedure for
establishing a Special Service District for police services and to cover operating
expenses for the DPM in the downtown and Brickell areas. Mr. Ginsberg informed us
that he has concluded that there are basically two alternatives to establishing a
Special Service District in Downtown Miami. First, it is possible to establish
a Special Service District and to collect revenues to provide an increased•level
of police protection and operating expenses for the DPM against ad valorem taxes
if, first the County Commission holds a public hearing and secondly, places the
issue out for a referendum. The referendum could be a mail out ballot to all
registered voters within the defined Service District area. The second alternative
which Mr. Ginsberg discussed was to establish a basis for payment of the special
services on other than ad valorem taxes. In this instance, it may be possible,
for example, to assess on an annual basis the cost for additional police services
and for operating the DPM on a square foot of land and building area, a front foot
of lot area and combination of building area or some other equitable basis. In the
second alternative, it would not be necessary, in his opinion, to seek a referendum
but rather the County Commission could impose the Special Service District after a
public hearing. If a basis for assessment, using ad valorem taxes is used, then
registered voters who for the most part in the downtown area would not be bearing
the burden of payment would be the deciding factor. It should be noted that in
excess of $2,000 people are registered at the County Courthouse because they are
absent from the community, for example, serving in the military and would, of
course, be afforded an opportunity to vote on this issue.
The Planning Department is preparing the necessary materials to submit to the
County Manager to use as a basis for requesting a public hearing to assess costs
for special services on a system other than ad valorem taxes. We have previously
submitted a report to the County justifying the need for increased services, however,
the basis for collection was on ad valorem taxes.
It would be desirable if the City Commission would provide us with some direction
as to whether or not they would prefer an ad valorem tax method or an assessment
based on some equitable formulas such as square foot of building or front foot
of property.
Attached for your information is the initial report which we provided the County
describing the necessity for establishing such Special Service Districts.

Introduction
Purpose
The purpose of this document is to identify the need for a
Special Taxing District in downtown M�ami to help provide
emergency police services and operating subsidies for the
soon -to -be -constructed Downtown People Mover system. This
document is prepared for the Metropolitan Dade County Planning
Director as a basis for a subsequent petition to the Clerk
of the Board of County Commissioners for the establishment of
a Special Taxing District as outlined in Section 18-3 of the
Dade County Code.
Additionally, this document should provide useful information
in the future investigation by the Dade County Manager as to;
(1) the boundaries of the proposed district
(2) the costs of the special services
(3) annual expenses"to be borne by the district
(11) conformance with the Dade County master plan
(5) his recommendations concerning; the need and
desirability of a district, and
(6) his .recommendations as to the levying of special
assessments and the amount of such levy.
Scope and Contr-.nt
This study consists of three sections. The first describes
the importance of Downtown's regional focus th.rouk;h an analysis
of current conditions and future trends. The second section
examines the special nocds of Downtown as evidenced by crime
incidence data and in the need for oper►.tting subsidies for the
planned Downtown People Mover syste►.
r

This section details some of the special costs associated with
the provision of these downtown services. The last section
identifies the taxing; capacity of the proposed district.
For the purposes of this analysis, the area of interest proposed
for the special district includes the Downtown Development
Authority's tax district north of the Miami River and portions
of the Brickell area south of the Miami River, east of the old
F.E.C. right-of-way to Biscayne Bay, and south to the SE 15th.
Road, excluding the high-rise condominium developments on S.
Bayshore Drive at Point View, Attachment, A is a more exact
description of the proposed taxing district boundaries.
Downtown's Regional Focus
Downtown Miami is unique in southeast Florida and Dade County.
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 residen-
tial activities are reversing; a twenty-year trend, which is
helping to produce once again a diversified downtown environ-
ment; d Downtown with special. needs, unique, special problems
and most importantly, virtually unlimited opportunities
Downtown continues its regional focus for certain activities.
Recent projections indicate an increasing concentration of down-
town employees in many business sectors. During 1.970, as
identified by the 1.970 Census of Population and Housing;, forty
percent; of Dade's employment has located in the City of ?,Iiami (1).
Tile following; table shows the importance of the proposed Special
Taxing; District; compared to the entire City of Miami,

Prospects for Future Growth i
Recent analytical work prepared for the Downtown People Mover
Study Area, very similar in area to the proposed tali district,
indicates a continuing strengthening of downtown Miami as a.
regional focus. Between 1968 and 1975 three -fourths of all
office space built in Miami was constructed in the Downtown-
Brickell area. Over 4.8 million square feet of office spaco
was completed in Downtown-Brickell prior. to 1975 (2).
If the trend continues, and the latest information on specific
development proposals indicates that it wi.11, the Downtown-
Brickell area is expected to capture about; 3.6 million square
feet of additional office space by 1985 (3).
-3- r

In addition, by 1985, the Downtown-Brickell area is expected
to gain between 200,000-300,000 square feet of retailing and
perhaps as many as 2,000 new housing.units. 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 1975 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 1980's and 1990's. Miami'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.1t.P.)
Dade's master plan states that the concept of a regional activity
center emphasizes growth around "centers of activity" rather
than directionless sprawl..
The Dade plan continues, .
"transit facilities and services
should stapno.rt the slitiping and stnging
of development, redevelopment, and inten_.
sification of t:lle central. business dis-•.
trims, ..." (.5,p.7)
Miami's Comprehensive Neighborhood Plan 1976-1986 idr:.ntifies three
objectives for downtown Miami:
(1) promote downtown Minmi as a regional
office center
(2) promote Miami as a financial center, and
(3) increase downtown employment.
(6, p.IV-2)
Miami's plan also states the importance of "centrality of office
location" that will. be rain -forced given regional rapid transit,
Not only is the strength of downtown Miami a stated planning;
goal, but a strong public: investment effort is currently under-
way. Mi.n.mi's 1979-1.985 Capital. Intproyelli(ittt Progrn.m details
over $ 3,000,000 of capital improvoments whichh sould encourage
a healthy balance of business, government, and residential
activities (7).

Special Needs ofjowntown Miami
This section describes some of the special, unique needs of
Downtown as identified by an analysis of recent crime evidence
data. Following an analysis of crime in downtown Miami, a short
section details the need for an annual operating subsidy for the
Downtown People Mover(DPM) System, Cost estimates for additional
police services and the DPbi operating subsidies are also included.
Crime Characteristics in Downtown
The following table contrasts the crimes that occur in Downtown
versus crimes in the City at large. This analysis is based
on data contained in the Miami Police Department's Impact
File for 1978 and 1979. The Impact File contains data on major
crimes such as rape, aggravated assualts, murder and breaking
and entering.

(1) Excludes Arson which was not classified as a major crime
in 1978.
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 Downtown-Brickell, is an indication that a
different kind of crime problem is emerging that necessitates
Special crime prevention and protection measures.
An analysis of the crime incidences shows that during normal
business, daytime hours (7:00 a.m,-6:00 p.m.) two kinds of
all major crimes occur. This duirnal pattern has remained
constant since 1978 although the proposed district has ex-
perienced a twenty percent increase in major crimes. Table
IV summarizes the flours of occurrence of major crimes in Down-
town-Brickell. i

When crime occurrences are examined by Police Area, clef inite ].and -
use crime relationships are identified. Given the expected ad-
ciitional growth in the Down town-BrickelI area., crime. trends before
1985 will indicate a cri.ti.cal need for additional police resources
over and above those presently available,

A Miami Police Department'(MPD) staff study concludes that no
internal readjustments could be made in the MPD to put more
officers on patrol without degrading; other community -wide
needs. Patrol coverage in Downtown Miami and in Brickell
could not be increased at the expenses of other areas in the
City.
The 11PD recommends the hiring of 16 new officers, purchase
and equip 8 cars or three wheelers to provide additional
coverage over and above the current police commitment. The
' 16 additional MPD officers would provide plainclothes officers
concentrating on pick -pockets, street frauds, purse snatches,
robberies, drug sales, muggings, panhandling and shoplifting.
Additional uniform coverage would concentrate on traffic flow,
vagrancy, park patrol truancy, walk-throughs of large buildings,
burglary of autos, improved arrival times and would provide a
visibility presence,
The MPD estimates that the yearly costs of placing one new
uniformed officer in Downtown is $40,000. These cost estimates
include pension costs, automobile, insurance, training and
administrative support. A detailed cost breakdown �s included
in Attachment B, provided by the Miami Police Department.
Total costs projected for a new, 16 man Downtown force totals
$6,10,000 per year.

Need for Operating Subsidies
Since 1976, when the proposal for a DPM project was adopted,
Dade County, and the City of Miami have cooperated on the plan-
ning and proposed funding of an elevated DPM system through=
out Downtown Miami and Brickell. A grant received in 1978
permitted the completion of all "technical analyses required
for solicitation of competitive bids for final design, construc-
tion, and initial start-up operations" (8,p.1-1).
A portion of this 1978 grant was used to prepare Design Report
The Miami Downtown People plover Phase I Preliminary Engineering
which provides some preliminary estimates of the operating costs
and revenues of the first stage of a full DPyi system (8,p.7-14).
DPM operating deficits are estimated at between $1.2-1.7 million
dollars in 1985, and increasing to a loss of $8.2 -9.3 million
by 2004 (8, p.7-15).
These operating deficits assume an initial fare rate of $.25
in 1955 increasing to $.40.in 2000. Table VI summarizes pro-
jected trends in revenues, operating costs and deficits for the

The projected deficits for the DPM system indicate the
need for substantial, regular sources of funding. to help
offset operating expenses.
The need for additional funding sources to meet DPM operat-
ing requirements is amply covered in Summary Guidelines
Private Sector Fitlanci.al Participation The Downtown People
Mover Project This study' s rec-
ommendation based on opinions from the Dade County Attor-
ney s office is that a Special Tax District be established
as a means of"pri.vate sector financial participation in
the DPM Project" (9,p.13).
The proposed tat rate tins described as one mill and has
to be used for DP11 station opera.tint; and maintenance costs.
Excess funds from the one mill levy would go into a capital
improvements fund to upgrade the stations and make aesthetic
improvements.
The Special Tax District was described as properties meeting
the following criteria;
(1) The property is located in a block which
contains a DPM Station.
(2) The property is located in a block which has
a bordering public right-of-way contaitlinl;
a DP11 Station.
( 3) 'Pile property is located in a block which It.ts
a peclostr.iatl passageway to all` adjacent 1)10c1C
which meets criterion 1 or 2 ;lbove.
The County study delitioated the tax district solely an the
Basis of ease or pedestrian access to a DPit1 station. Pedostriatl
accoss was found to bo tho major detr.rmittatlt of direct: bondfit
dist•ribut:ion.
-12- f
The tali would amount to somewhere between $118,000 and $172,500
depending on the number of DPiti stations in Phase I, the Down-
town loop, of the system. Station operating and maintenance
costs were estimated at $21,000 annually per station.
The proposal recommends that a larger, areawide taxing
district be established to help defray the total operatin4
deficit of the DP11 system. The drivantages of a larger,
areawide tali district to support Police services and DPM
operating sybsidies are:
(1) Revenues would be adequate and predictable.
(2) Benefits would accrue to a larger area
for crime prevention and enforcement procedures.
(3) Benefits from improved pedestrian accessibility
and reduced auto dependence would impact pro-
perties over a relatively larger area.
(4) The tax district is easy to administer and
would be a part.of the existing property tax process.
(5) Tax collections would grow along with new development
and increased property assessments.
Taxing Capacity Special. Taxi.n? District
Resolution 80-27 by the Miami City Commission (see Attachment
C) urges the Board of County Commissioners of Dade County
to establish a Special Taring District to provide additional
police protection services and financial assistance to develop
the DPM system. The City Commissioners proposed a levy not
to exceed one mill on all real and personal property in the
district. The City Commission proposed that one-half of
the one mill tax would be used for the DPM system, and the
other one-half mill to be used for police Prot oc. t i ott .
The proposed tax district during 1980 had a total net valuation
exceeding $879,562,000, eighty-three percent of the total
represents the net valuation of properties in the Downtown
r
development Authority's present taxing district (10). The
following table summarizes revenues which could be realized
from a one mill tali on properties in the proposed special
tax district

In recent years property valuations havo increased at a fairly
rapid rate in Downtown. Between 1975 and 1950 ,just within
the DDA tax district property values have ,jumped from $601
million to $735 million or a 22 percent increase (10,p,6),
Between 196G and 1980 net real estat:c valucition jtlst within
the DDA tax district, has ri.sc�n from $281 million to $7 35
million, a 162 percent increase! This i.nerr•.ase averages
out to about 12 percent per year which is account"Od for by
new construction and increased propu�rty valuations.
Recent estimates compiled for development proposals indicate
an expected $845 million of new construction planned .for the
Downtown area by 1985 (11). Assuming approximately a sixty
percent valuation -to -construction cost ratio the special tax
proceeds of the proposed district might amount to $1,562,474.
The following table summarizes this estimate.
TABLE VIII
Projected Revenues from One Mill Tax in
Special Taxing District - 1985
Total Net Valuation 1980 ,$879,562,000
Estimated increase due to in-
flation and revaluation
(4 o per annum)
($35,183,480 per year x 5 years)
(60`,0 of $845,000,000 net con-
struction valuation)
One Mill Valuation
Total Projected Revenue
175,912,400
$1,055,474,400
507,000,000
$1,562,474,400
x 0.601.
$1,562,474
This projected revenue would provide approximately three-
quarters of a million dollars each year, by 1985, for
additional. police services and DPM operating subsidies.
Recommendations and Summary
Because of: the low number of registered voters in the pro-
posed special tax district boundaries (approximately 3,000
-5,000 voters) it is recommended that the Dade County
Corllnlissi.on, after suitable public hearin;;s, etc, establish
a special taxing; district. While the Miami City Commission
has recommended a one mill tax for the district further
study should be conducted to determine the exact requirements
