For the seconsd consecutive year, Miami-Dade faced a $200 million budgety gap in the last fiscal Core services were kept intact bytightening belts, but assumingy the same tax rate adopted for 2008-09, the estimated ad valoremm revenues for fiscal year 2009-10 would shrink by $174.1 according to the memo. Taking into account the impacg of normal inflationary growth and theeconomixc slowdown, combined with the non ad valorem revenue sources, results in property tax subsidizesd operations facing a budget gap of $350 million to $400 Burgess said.
“We are working diligently to prepare a proposed budgert forFY [fiscal year] 2009-10p that to the extenyt possible, preserves essential services and minimizes service impacts to our he wrote in the memo. “However, closing a budgetary gap of this size will required some verydifficult decisions.”
