County, Miami Beach, Miami and the Village' (together the
"participating Public Agencies" or individually the
"participating Public Agency") created a consortium pursuant to
the authority granted to each such participating Public Agency in
Part I of Chapter 163, Florida statutes (the "Act"), for the
purpose of establishing a unified effort in the promotion and
marketing of conventions and convention sales in Dade County,
Florida.
B. Pursuant to authority granted to the participating
Public Agencies under the Act, a contract was entered into with
the Bureau, under which the Bureau agreed to carry out tourism
and convention promotions, booking and sales activities on behalf
of the Participating Public Agencies (reserving to each Partic-
ipating Public Agency the continued right, at its option, to
separately promote and book certain special events). It is the
goal of the Participating Public Agencies that such services be
conducted in the most efficient and effective manner possible,
utilizing a larger fund of public tax dollars and privately
contributed resources, which the individual Public Agency would
not otherwise have available alone, with the additional advantage
of having available the experience and participation of all
segments of the business community itself.

ipating Public Agency may also attend such Board meetings ex

said tax revenues, the participating Public Agency shall
appropriate to the Bureau an alternative revenue source equal to
that amount of the Municipal Resort Tax or County Tourist Devel-

current fiscal year (the "Substituted Revenue Source"). In the
event the Participating Public Agency upon making a determination

to the Bureau a substituted revenue source, said participating

Agreement. In such event, said Agency's participation in this
Agreement will terminate as of the end of the then current fiscal
year, but this Agreement shall remain in effect among the
remaining parties until the expiration of the Agreement, provided
that any remaining Agency may exercise the termination provisions
of this section.
