Downtown Development Authority of the City of Miami, Florida's ("MIAMI DDA") tentative budget
other than the portion of the budget to be funded from sources other than ad valorem taxes; and
WHEREAS, the Statute defines the "rolled back millage rate" as a millage rate which,
with certain specified exclusions, will provide the same ad valorem tax revenue for each taxing
authority as was levied during the prior year less the amount, if any, paid or applied as a
consequence of an obligation measured by the dedicated increment value; and
WHEREAS, the exclusions to the rolled back millage rate are "new construction,
additions to structures, deletions, increases in the value of improvements that have undergone a
substantial rehabilitation which increased the assessed value of such improvements by at least
one hundred (100%), property added due to geographic boundary changes, total taxable value
of tangible personal property within the jurisdiction in excess of one hundred fifteen percent
(115%) of the previous year's total taxable value, and any dedicated increment value"; and
