INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM
To: The Honorable Mayor & Members of the City Commission
Date: May 2,2017 Agenda Item NO.:g
From: Steven Alexander, City Manager
Subject: A Resolution of the City Commission of the City of South Miami, Florida,
pursuant to Section 197.3632, of the Florida Statutes, providing for a
Uniform Method of Collecting Non-Ad Valorem Assessments for
Stormwater Services, authorizing entering into an Interlocal Agreement
with Miami-Dade County to place the City's proposed Non-Ad Valorem
Assessments on the County Tax Bill, and Providing for an effective date.
Background: On September 19, 2000, the City of South Miami Commission adopted
Ordinance 21-00-1723 providing for the creation of a City of South Miami
Stormwater Utility. As provided in the City of South Miami Ordinance
and in accordance with a transfer approved by the County, the ·City took
operational control over the stormwater utility function within the City's
boundaries.
There are two methodologies used for the purpose of collecting revenues
received from a jurisdiction with stormwater management services; user
fees and non-ad valorem assessments. User fees are common within city
governments due to the fact that most cities have an established utility
(water or sewer) in place whereby the stormwater charge can be
included as part of the existing utility bill.
Since the City does not operate or own a water or sewer utility, the City
contracts with Miami-Dade County Water and Sewer Department via
Resolution 10-13-13828 and the County collects the City's stormwater
user fees through the water and sewer billing system managed by the
Miami-Dade County Water & Sewer Department (WASD).
It is important to note a minimal amount of property owners which have
private water wells and septic system are billed annually directly by the
City of South Miami's Finance Department as an assessed fee to the
property owner, since the City does not have the information to any
potential user of utilities for each property.
Furthermore, the County's WASD charges a fee to the City to bill and
collect the City's stormwater user fee. On November 1, 2016 the City
received a notice from Miami-Dade County Water and Sewer Department
that they are increasing the administrative fee charged for collecting
stormwater charges billed on the City's behalf from $0.85 per bill to
$0.92 per bill; approximately a 9% increase per bill.
In an effort to help maintain the same level of revenue needed to fund
the many critical items such as maintenance of existing catch basins,
stormwater drains and canal system and future construction of new
facilities as may be recommended upon the development of the
Stormwater Master Plan, finance is recommending that the method of
collection change from its current method of having Miami-Dade
County's Water and Sewer Department collect the fees as part of their
customers water and sewer billing cycle to having the Miami-Dade
County Tax Collector collect the City's Stormwater fee on behalf of the
City during the collection of the Property Tax as a non-ad valorem
assessment fee.
The non-ad valorem, uniform collection method, offers great advantages
to the City of South Miami. When the uniform collection method is used
to collect special assessments, the City will benefit from an improved
collection rate. In fact, the City could anticipate that its rate of collection
on special assessments would be the same as its rate of collection of ad
valorem taxes. For the City this collection rate typically exceeds 95%. If
however, a property owner fails to pay the special assessment, under the
uniform collection method, the County has the right to sell a tax
certificate, which ensures that the City will be paid the amount of the
special assessment that is owed.
Thus, the non-ad valorem assessment, uniform collection method, offers
the City the greatest assurances of collecting all of its billed stormwater
special assessment revenue.
State statutes specifically detail the steps required for using the
recommended Uniform Method of collecting the stormwater special
assessment on the same bill as ad valorem taxes. To use the uniform
method collection process, a jurisdiction must carefully follow the strict
procedures provided in the Uniform Method. These procedures and their
requir~d deadlines are provided below.

Assessment Roll -Adopted at a Between June 1 and
properly noticed public meeting September 15.
In summary, the money collected by South Miami from the Stormwater
Utility Fee goes into a separate Stormwater Drain Trust Fund to help fund
the required improvements to have a well-functioning, critical
st<:>rmwater infrastructure. The fee being charged is determined by the
amount of runoff that is generated (as measured by impervious surfaces)
an "ERU" (Equivalent Runoff Unit).
In the City of South Miami, each single-family homeowner pays the cost
for one (i) ERU, which per Ordinance 10-02-1778 the ERU is set at $4.50
per month; $54 annually.
All other types of properties will pay for multiple ERUs based upon the
amount of their actual impervious area. This is the key, if a non-
residential property builds a large structure which by virtue will hold less
water on the property, hence requiring the City to maintain the
properties "run-off," that property owner should pay the required ERU,
to help continue to maintain the critical Stormwater Infrastructure which
is being utilized specifically because of that property owners "run-off."
Amount:
Account:
Attachments:
Assuming that property owner is not utilizing the property resulting in no
water or sewer being billed, that property owner is not contributing to
the Stormwaterfund, as required.
Vacant properties (residential or non-residential), which are 100%
pervious, will pay no stormwater utility fee because they are able to
maintain the water on their respective property.
Moving from "user fee" collection to "non-ad valorem, uniform collection
method" will help to maintain fairness and assure the necessary level of
revenue continues to exist to help maintain the critical Stormwater
Infrastructure.
Finance anticipates an increase of approximately $50,000 annually by
moving from "user fee" collection to "non-ad valorem, uniform collection
method" due to the amount of property owners being billed versus utility
customers, less outstanding balances or delinquent accounts, and the
savings related to the collection cost.
An amount not to exceed $5,000.
111-0000-314-3000, Stormwater Drain Trust Fund, with an annual
anticipated revenue amount of $425,000 for FY 2017-18.

and the right to file written objections within 20 days of the publication of the notice.
(c) At the public hearing, the local governing board shall receive the written objections
and shall hear testimony from all interested persons. The local governing board may adjourn
the hearing from time to time. If the local governing board adopts the non-ad valorem
assessment roll, it shall specify the unit of measurement for the assessment and the amount
of the assessment. Notwithstanding the notices provided for in paragraph (b), the local
governing board may adjust the assessment or the application of the assessment to any
affected property based on the benefit which the board will provide or has provided to the

ad valorem assessment roll on compatible electronic medium to the tax collector. The local
government shall post the non-ad valorem assessment for each parcel on the roll. The tax
collector shall not accept any such roll that is not certified on compatible electronic medium
and that does not contain the posting of the non-ad valorem assessment for each parcel. It is
the responsibility of the local governing board that such roll be free of errors and omissions.
Alterations to such roll may be made by the chair or his or her designee up to 10 days before
certification. If the tax collector discovers errors or omissions on such roll, he or she may

is to be amortized over a number of years, the local governing board shall so specify and shall
not be required to annually adopt the non-ad valorem assessment roll, and shall not be
required to provide individual notices to each taxpayer unless the provisions of subsection (4)
apply. Notice of an assessment, other than that which is required under subsection (4), may

property taxes and proposed or adopted non-ad valorem assessments under s. 200.069.
However, the local governing board shall inform the property appraiser, tax collector, and
department by January 10 if it intends to discontinue using the uniform method of collecting
such assessment.
(7) Non-ad valorem assessments collected pursuant to this section shall be included in the
combined notice for ad valorem taxes and non-ad valorem assessments provided for in
s. 197.3635. A separate mailing i$ authorized only as a solution to the most exigent factual
circumstances. However, if a tax collector cannot merge a non-ad valorem assessment roll to
produce such a notice, he or she shall mail a separate notice of non-ad valorem assessments
or shall direct the local government to mail such a separate notice. In deciding whether a
separate mailing is necessary, the tax collector shall consider all costs to the local government
and taxpayers of such a separate mailing and the adverse effects to the taxpayers of delayed
and multiple notices. The local government whose roll could not be merged shall bear all
costs aSsociated with the separate notice.
(8)(a) Non-ad valorem assessments collected pursuant to this section shall be subject to
all collection provisions of this chapter, including provisions relating to discount for early
payment, prepayment by installment method, deferred payment, penalty for delinquent
payment, and issuance and sale of tax certificates and tax deeds for nonpayment.
(b) Within 30 days following the hearing provided in subsection (4), any person having
any right, title, or interest in any parcel against which an assessment has been levied may
elect to prepay the same in whole, and the amount of such assessment shall be the full
amount levied, reduced, if the local government so provides, by a discount equal to any
portion of the assessment which is attributable to the parcel's proportionate share of any
bond financing costs, provided the errors and insolvency procedures available for use in the
collection of ad valorem taxes pursuant to s. 197.492 are followed.
(c) Non-ad valorem assessments shall also be subject to the provisions of s. 192.091(2)(b),
or the tax collector at his or her option shall be compensated for the collection of non-ad
valorem assessments based on the actual cost of collection, whichever is greater. However, a
municipal or county government shall only compensate the tax collector for the actual cost of
collecting non-ad valorem assessments.
(9) A local government may elect to use the uniform method of collecting non-ad valorem
assessments as authorized by this section for any assessment levied pursuant to general or
special law or local government ordinance or resolution, regardless of when the assessment
was initially imposed or whether it has previously been collected by another method.
(lO)(a) Capital project assessments may be levied and collected before the completion of
the capital project.
(b)1. Except as provided in this subsection, the local government shall comply with all of
the requirements set forth in subsections (1)-(8) for capital project assessments.
2. The requirements set forth in subsection (4) are satisfied for capital project
assessments if:
a. The local government adopts or reaffirms the non-ad valorem assessment roll at a
public hearing held at any time before certification of the non-ad valorem assessment roll
pursuant to subsection (5) for the first year in which the capital project assessment is to be
collected in the manner authorized by this section; and
b. The local government provides notice of the public hearing in the manner provided in
paragraph (4)(b).
3. The local government is not required to allow prepayment for capital project
assessments as set forth in paragraph (8)(b); however, if prepayment is allowed, the errors
and insolvency procedures available for use in the collection of ad valorem taxes pursuantto
s. 197.492 must be followed.
(c) Any hearing or notice required by this section may be combined with any other
hearing or notice required by this section or by the general or special law or municipal or
county ordinance pursuant to which a capital project assessment is levied.
(11) The department shall adopt rules to administer this section.

recording fees. When any such lien has been fully paid or discharged, the city shall cause evidence of
the satisfaction and discharge of such lien to be filed with the office of the clerk of the circuit of the
county. Any person, firm, corporation, or any other legal entity, other than the present owner of the
property involved, who fully pays any such lien shall be entitled to receive an assignment of lien and
shall be subrogated to the rights of the city and the utility with respect to the enforcement of such lien.
(g) Notwithstanding other provisions to the contrary herein, the city, on behalf of the utility, shall have the
discretion not to file notices of lien for fees, late charges and interest accrued thereupon in an amount
less than fifty dollars ($50.00). If the city or the utility elects not to file a notice of lien, such fees, late
charges and accrued interest shall remain as debts due and owning in accordance with subsection (b)
