Subject: Proposed DDA Millage Rate for FY 2009-2010
Re: For July 23, 2009 City Commission Meeting
Recommendation
It is respectfully requested that the City Commission approve the attached Resolution establishing
the FY 2009-2010 millage rate for the Miami Downtown Development Authority ("DDA") of the
City of Miami, Florida.
Background
In 1980, the State of Florida Legislature enacted the House Bill -4D entitled "Truth in Millage"
("TRIM BILL"), which has been incorporated into the Florida Statutes under Section 200. The
TRIM BILL also stipulates that the proposed millage rate be submitted to the Property Appraiser and
Tax Collector and included in the City's tax notices mailed to property owners.
The City Commission is authorized under Chapter 14 of the City of Miami Code to levy an
additional ad valorem tax on all real and personal property in the Downtown Development District,
not to exceed one-half (.5) mill, for the purpose of financing the operations of the Miami Downtown
Development Authority.
The proposed millage rate for the DDA for the Fiscal Year beginning October 1, 2009 and ending
September 30, 2010 is .5 mill.
The Miami City Commission must also establish the dates and times of the first and second public
hearings in connection with the DDA FY 2009-2010 proposed millage rate and budget. As in past
years, the DDA's public hearings should be scheduled for the same dates as the City's.
