HEADER
Date:

To: Honorable Chairman Dennis C. Moss
and Members, Board of County Commissioners

From: George M. Burgess
County Manager

Subject: Ordinance Approving the Phase Out of Mitigation for Annexations

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) adopt the accompanying ordinance amending the County Code related to annexations and related interlocal agreements involving the City of Florida City, the Town of Medley, the City of North Miami, and the City of Hialeah Gardens to allow mitigation payments to be phased out consistent with the phase-out timetable approved related to mitigation payments by those cities to the County made by newly incorporated municipalities. Additionally, the Town of Medley interlocal will require the Town to make payments for Stormwater Utility debt service.

Scope
The municipalities making mitigation payments are located within County Commission Districts 2, 3, 4, 8, 9 and 12. The mitigation payments directly affect the Unincorporated Municipal Service Area (UMSA) budget.

Fiscal Impact/Funding Source
In FY 2009-10 the municipalities paying mitigation for annexations (Florida City, Medley, North Miami and Hialeah Gardens) paid $815,112 into the Municipal Services Trust Fund (MSTF) as noted in the table below.

Medley Hialeah Gardens North Miami Florida City Total
FY 2009-10 703,342 52,312 37,290 22,168 815,112

The UMSA FY 2010-11 budget does not include payments from three of the four municipalities. By approving this item, the municipalities of Medley, North Miami and Hialeah Gardens will not make payment into the MSTF for FY 2010-11 because they have made seven payments into the MSTF. The City of Florida City will make a payment of approximately $23,000 in FY 2010-11 and one more payment in FY 2011-12.

Track Record/Monitor
The Office of Strategic Business Management will monitor each agreement.

MANAGER'S BACKGROUND
Background
Since 2000, the BCC has adopted legislation requiring newly formed municipalities or annexations that had a negative fiscal impact on the County to make mitigation payments into the MSTF. The payments into the MSTF were required in order to offset the revenue loss in the remaining unincorporated area as a result of the incorporation or annexation. The MSTF is used to fund police services around the newly formed municipality or newly annexed area, whereby these newly incorporated or annexed areas derived a benefit from these payments.

In 2008 the BCC adopted legislation allowing the municipalities of Miami Lakes, Doral and Palmetto Bay to phase out mitigation payments through changes in their respective municipal charters. The phase out would require the municipalities to make seven payments into the MSTF. At this time there are no municipalities paying mitigation into the MSTF for incorporations.

Municipalities that annexed unincorporated land into their municipal boundaries which had an adverse financial impact on the County were also required to pay mitigation into the MSTF through interlocal agreements. Along with the phase out of mitigation for the newly incorporated municipalities, the BCC considered an ordinance to phase out the mitigation payments from the municipalities of Medley, North Miami, Florida City and Hialeah Gardens. The ordinance was deferred until the issues and legal action with the new municipalities was resolved. To date all payments from new municipalities in the MSTF have been phased out and all issues resolved. County staff has worked with the annexing municipalities to amend the County ordinances approving their respective annexations relating to the mitigation provision and similarly, to amend the resolutions which would authorize modifying the municipalities� interlocal agreements to phase out their payments into the MSTF. The municipalities of Medley, North Miami, Florida City and Hialeah Gardens have executed amendments to their interlocal agreements that phase out the mitigation payments after the seventh year, which is comparable to the legislation approved by the BCC for the municipalities of Doral, Miami Lakes and Palmetto Bay.

The Medley annexation for Section 30 did not contain a provision for the payment of stormwater utility debt service. The attached amendment to the interlocal agreement for Section 30 also includes a section where the Town has agreed to reimburse the County for previous years of debt service payments and will continue to make debt service payments until the bonds are retired.
