MEMORANDUM
TO: City of Miami Beach Mayor and Commission
FROM: Brian Kraus, Quality of Life Chairperson
DATE: May 20,2003
Year 7 Quality of Life Funding
North Beach Community Meeting - May 14, 2003
I am honored for the fourth year to be able to present the North Beach community's
recommendations for the allocation of Quality of Life Funds. In February 2003, I requested North
Beach Development Corporation to begin the Quality of Life Fund application process. North
Beach Development Corporation advertised the application process in the Miami Herald -
Neighbors Beach Section on February 23, 2003; the SunPost on February 27,2003; the
application form was posted on the NBDC website; and past applicants were mailed an
application. The deadline to submit applications was March 21, 2003.
In April 2003, I requested North Beach Development Corporation to begin advertising the public
meeting where the North Beach community would make its recommendations for the allocation of
the Quality of Life Funds. North Beach Development Corporation advertised the public meeting in
the Miami Herald - Neighbors Beach Section on May 11, 2003 and May 8, 2003; the SunPost on
May 8, 2003; Meeting Notices were sent to the NBDC database (over 600 people); approximately
600 fliers were distributed throughout the commercial, residential and resort districts; several
Condo Associations and Home Owners Associations were informed and either e-mailed or
provided with fliers to distribute to its owners (King Cole, Burleigh House, The Manhattan,
Normandy Sud. Home Owners Association, St. Tropez, Normandy Shores Homeowners
Association, Park View Island etc...); the meeting was posted on the NBDC website in the
Community Events section; NBDC Board was e-mailed several times and each board member
was asked to tell their neighbors about the meeting.
The meeting was held on May 14, 2003 at the Shane Watersports Center. The meeting was
called to order at 6:00pm. Barry Klein, President of North Beach Development, opened the
meeting with his introduction and then turned the meeting over to me as the chairperson. Barry
left immediately after his introduction. The meeting ended five hours later at 11 :OOpm.
Because the Quality of Life Fund recommendations are supposed to be a community process, an
attendance count was taken at the beginning of the meeting. I felt comfortable proceeding with
the meeting given that there were 12 North Beach community members in the room that were not
affiliated with the North Beach Development Corporation Board of Directors nor were Quality of
Life Fund applicants. Throughout the meeting there were several people who arrived late and
several people who left before the meeting adjourned. Listed below is the final count of
attendees:
47 total attendees
. 24 attendees were North Beach residents, property owners or business owners with
no affiliation to NBDC nor were Quality of Life Fund applicants
. 21 attendees were Quality of Life Fund applicants (4 of which were also North Beach
residents, 1 was both a resident and a NBDC Board Member)
. 1 attendee was an NBDC Board Member and North Beach resident
. 1 attendee fell into the other category: Miami Dade Commissioner Sally Heyman's
Aide
I started the meeting by explaining where Quality Of Life Funds come from and what they are
required to be used for; specifically "for the promotion of the tourist industry, which shall include,
but not be restricted to the following: publicity, bureau activities, promotional events, convention
bureau activities, capital improvements and the maintenance of all physical assets in connection
therewith." I explained that the North Beach community is privileged each year to recommend to
the City Commission on how the community would like to see the Quality of Life Funds allocated.
Everyone in the room was provided with a list detailing each project, the amount of Quality of Life
Funds applied for and my initial funding recommendations. My recommendations were based on
my initial review of the applications. My recommendations were subject to change after hearing
each applicant's presentation and discussing each application with the North Beach community.
Each applicant was given approximately 5 minutes to present their application, followed by an
additional 5 minutes for questions from the community. After all the projects were reviewed, the
community in attendance revisited each application to determine if their project met the criteria for
Quality of Life Funds, the project's potential impact to North Beach tourism and the project's
history, viability and prior success. Some projects were recommended to be funded in full, some
funded in part and some no funding at all. I have attached the community's recommendation for
your review.
Unfortunately there were not enough Year 7 Quality of Life Funds to recommend for each and
every applicant. The community in attendance felt that the Shane Water Sport Center's success
in the promotion of tourism in the North Beach community was to be recognized and would like
the City Commission to pre-approve $35,000 to be allocated from Year 8 Quality of Life Funds for
the landscaping project submitted by the Shane Water Sports Center.
The community also wants you to know that Robert Childers who applied for the North Beach
Triathlon Project and who was recommended for $5,000 has agreed to donate 50% of the
proceeds from his event to the Teen Job Corp. Program.

Creating Experiences thllt trllnsform our worltt one heart at a time...
May 17, 2003
Ms. Cristina Fernandez, Marketing Director
Mr. Brian Kraus, Chairperson, Quality of Life Funding Committee
CIO North Beach Development Corporation
500 71st Street
Miami Beach, FL 33141
Dear Cristina and Brian,
['rn writing first of all, to thank you both for the terrific job you did moderating last
week's Quality of Life Funds Community Meeting. Coordinating the long list of
presenters while simultaneoL:sly, occhestrating the myriad of different personalities
volleying for a chance to offer their suggestions was no easy feat! Although the meeting
went on long after any of us had ever anticipated, it appeared that everyone who had
something to present or an opinion to expressdid was given an opportunity to do so.
Which brings me to my second reason for writing. I realized during that meeting, just
how important community gatherings of this type really are, Giving the community a
forum to express their feelings about the allocation of money that impacts thelr lives
(and the quality of their lives) is something we need to see more of. It's a terrific
example of how democracy at the grass roots level should work. So, although at times it
seemed like the meeting was never going to end, and although there were moments
when it was a bit frustrating having to listen to the personal agendas of some of the
residents in attendance, it really was an excellent model of how a community should
work.
I applaud Horth Beach and the City of Miami Beach for their commitment to making sure
that the community is involved with these types of decisions and thank you both again
(as well as the N.B.D.C. and the Quality of Life Funding Committee) for all of your
efforts in making this possible.

BE.;. Onsdity of Life Year 7 Fundinr Recommendations
The Quality of Life Year 7 Funding Recommendations that were made at the May 14,2003
North Beach Community Meeting were reviewed at the NBDC Board of Directors Meeting on
May 20, 2003. The Board supported the recommendations with the following two additions:
1) A 2nd pre-allocation of Year 8 funds for $50,000 was recommended for the City's
Capital Improvements Project: "Restroom Buildingfor North Shore Park".
2) NBDC withdrew its application for $15,450 for the "Arts in North Beach Programs"
after determining that the $15,000 that was recommended for "North Beach Art &
Culture Thursday Nights" was sufficient for "Arts" efforts. The $15,450 was moved
to the "Teen Job Corps. Program ", a program that is struggling for funding.
It is important to note that several North Beach residents and Quality of Life applicants were
present at the NBDC Board Meeting who were also present at the May 14th Community Meeting.
Specifically, there were four North Beach residents (with no affiliation to the applicants or
NBDC Board) present. The NBDC Board was able to take their input into account at the Board
Meeting.

The Wise Women Weekend is a two-day, conununity-based festival conference of health and wellness for
women, now in it's fifth year, which takes place in North Beach at the Radisson Deauville Hotel. This educational
weekend of wellness, which is open to the public, offers women of all ages, cultures and lifestyles tools and
techniques to manage stress, achieve better health and enhance their lives and their relationships. The program
includes an array of workshops and lectures presented by locally and natiortaIly known professionals. The
reasonably priced conference admission includes two full-days of educational seminars and lectures, a keynote
address by a recognized speaker, a musical concm, 2 meals, (welcome breakfast and banquet lunch), plus a trade

some students.

History of tile Event: The first Wise Women Weekend (August, 1999), attracted 1 SO attendees from 4 different
states, with 41 total room nights at the Radisson Deauville. The 2000 program (July 15 & 16) included 190
attendees, occupying 79 room niahts at the Radisson Deauville. In 2001, 210 women participated With a total of
81 room nights at the Radisson Deauville, the Holiday Inn at 6060 Indian Creek and the Day's Inn at Ocean
Terrace. We needed those hotels for overflow due to the Radisson Deauville being sold out on the peak night of
the conference. In 2003, in addition to increasing our sleeping room numbers (129 at the Radisson, numerous
others at neighborini hotels) and our attendance, (300 women), North Beach wd the Wise Women Weekend
benefited greatly from the media exposure we received, thanks in part to our two, powerhouse keynote speakers,
Rosie O'Donnell and Marianne Williamson. Here are more specifics regarding media exposure in 2002:
Local & National Media Attention: Hac: is a sample of the coverage received in 2002:
. Front Page article in the Sun-Sentinel
. Tluee articles in the Miami Herald
. A feature interview on WLRN with Audrey Finkelstein
. Articles in Entertainment News & Vive Magazine, Community Newspapers (1 per paper,S editions),
Miracle Journeys, Natl.lral Awakenings, Horiron Magazine (Space Coast area), Tampa Tribune, the
Indiana Star
. Radio Spots on WLRN (4x per day for the week prior to the conference), Love94, LiteFM
. Small story in People Magazine
. Two television stories on Deco Drive (including mention of the Radisson Deauville), plus stories on

How does the project / Event Meet the Quality of Life Funding Requirements?
When we first introduced the Wise Women Weekend in 1999, although we did offer sleeping rooms, We ex.pected
this to be mostly a transient conference with few people staying at the hotel. Much to our surprise, we attracted
many more women staying at hotel for the weekend, then we had ever imagined. Today, the Wise Women
Weekend has become a hiah profile, locally and nationally known event with .ttendees arriving from around the
state and around the country. It has aho gained a reputation as a retreat for women residing in different parts of
Florida, wishing to escape for a quick weekend without going far away from home. In 2001, more then 40% of all
attendees stayed at the hotel, (25% stayed more then one night). In 2002, more then 65% of attendees stayed
eithn at the Radisson Deauville or at neighboring hotels. Here are the ways this event meets the NBDC Quality
of Life fundiDa: requirements to promote tourism:
1) The Wise Women Weekend I!enerates tourism revenue and aW3feness of North Beach from attendee
participation in the following arells;
a. Hotel Room Revenue; Radisson Deauville: 41 room nights in 1999, 79 room nights in 2000, 81
in 2001, 129 in 2002,145 projected in 2003. Neiihboring Hotels: 2001: approximately 11 room
nights, 2002: Approximately 16 room nights. 2003 goal is 25 room nights at nelghboring hotels.
We will be happy to include, as we have in the past, other hotel options in the registration
materials, in addition to the host hotel.
b. Hotel food and beverage Revenue: 2 meals are included in the program. Many women staying
at the Radisson enjoyed the hotel restaurants for the times the group was not in session, as did
many of the tnlnsient attendees.
c. Local Area RestaurllDt Revenue. We include II list of North Beach restaurants and a Miami
Beach map and guide in the registration materials and our hospitality staff is trained to answer
questions regarding local eating establislunents and to make reservations. Restaurants in and
around the Radisson during the conference are always filled with Wise Women attendees!
d. Miami I Miami Beach tourist attradion revenue (for pre- and post conference attendees and
the times the program is not ill session.
2) Tile Wise WomeJl. Weekend promotes tbe Community of North Beach as we include the NBDC
logo (and the Miami Beach logo) on all tnJIJ'keting materials. We will also mention NBDC (and the
City of Miami Beach) in our press releases as sponsoring organizatlOns.
3) Local resideuts not staying at the hotel will also be contributing to local hotel and restaurant
revenue fOT meals not Included in the program. (Breakfasts. lunches, dinners, etc,)
4) All Wise Women Weekend attendees have an opportunity to enhllJlce the quality oftbelr lives
(and the lives of the people around them) by leaming ways to manage stress, enhance relationships,

CITY OF MIAMI BEACH
COMMISSION ITEM SUMMARY
lQ
Condensed Title:
A Resolution of the Mayor and City Commission of the City of Miami Beach, Florida, approving and authorizing
$592,239.00 in City of Miami Beach Quality of LifelResort Tax funding from fiscal year 2001/2002 (less five percent for
administrative charges to North Beach Development Corporation) for improvements in the North Beach community; and
reallocating $73,000.00 in prior years' Quality of Life funding, in the amounts of $15,000.00 from fiscal year 99/00; and
$58,000.00 from fiscal year 00/01; providing for a total of $665,239.00 for the purpose of funding tourism oriented
proiects in the North Beach area.
Issue:
Shall the City of Miami Beach appropriate $592,239.00 in Fiscal Year 2001/2002 (less $15,786.00, which is the 5%
administrative charge to North Beach Development Corporation) and reallocating $73,000.00 in prior years' Quality of
Life fundin to be ex ended on ro'ects as recommended b the Cit Administrations in the A endix A?
Item SummarY/Recommendation:
In 1992, the City of Miami Beach voters agreed to a one percent increase in the resort tax collection on hotel room rent.
Half of the one percent was to create public incentives for a Convention Center Headquarter Hotel, and the other 50%
was designated for the promotion of Quality of Life (Q.O.L) tourism related activities and facilities. That 50% Quality of
Life increment has been equally split in thirds for improvements in the North, Middle and South Beach communities.
The one-third portion available through Resort Tax collections for the North Beach community in Fiscal Year 2001/2002
Quality of Life funds equals $592,239.00, less five percent (5%) for administrative charges to NBDC. In addition, NBDC
has reviewed prior years' funds and propose reprogramming $15,000.00 from Fiscal Year 99/00 (program year five) and
$58,000.00 from Fiscal Year 00/01 (program year six) providing for an additional $73,000.00 be included as a
reallocation and a part of the 2001/2002 Quality of Life budget, which provides a total of $665,239.00 of Quality of Life
funds available through Resort Tax Collections for the North Beach community.
A publiC meeting was held on May 14, 2003, to reach community agreement on how best to expend the available
Quality of Life/Resort Tax funds from Fiscal Year 200112002 (program year seven) for the North Beach community.
Projects totaling $1 ,033,177 .00 were reviewed and prioritized by the North Beach community and the list was reduced to
match available funding. Last year, NBDC also committed funding $55,777.00 of Quality of Life funds from Fiscal Year
2001/2002 Program year seven) to complete the North Shore Tennis Center project. These funds were already
approved and authorized by the City Commission through Resolution No. 2002-25048 on November 13, 2002.
Subsequently, the City Administration met with NBDC on July 16, 2003 to review their recommendations. The
Administration and NBDC have not reached consensus on the recommended funding levels for this year's North Beach
Quality of Life Program. The City recommends including funding for the Byron Carlyle, Normandy Park, North Beach
Canal Cleanups, and All-America City program. This recommendation was based on the City Commission's priorities
and established commitment toward these projects. Furthermore, the Administration recommends recalculating the five

ADMINSTRA TION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution and approve the City Administration's funding recommendations.
FUNDING
Funding is available from Quality of Life/Resort Tax funding from fiscal year 2001/02 and a
reallocation of $73,000.00 from Fiscal Year 1999/2000 and Fiscal Year 2000/01 North
Beach Quality of Life funds.
ANALYSIS
In 1992, the City of Miami Beach voters agreed to a one percent increase in the resort tax
collection on hotel room rent. Half of the one percent was to create public incentives for a
Convention Center Headquarter Hotel, and the other 50% was designated for the
promotion of Quality of Life (Q.O.L.) tourism related activities and facilities. That 50%
Quality of Life increment has been equally split in thirds for improvements in the North,
Middle and South Beach communities.
North Beach Development Corporation (NBDC) is entering year seven of this program.
The one-third portion available through Resort Tax collections for the North Beach
community in Fiscal Year 2001/2002 Quality of Life funds equals $592,239.00, less five
percent (5%) for administrative charges to NBDC. In addition, NBDC has reviewed prior
years' funds and propose reprogramming $15,000.00 from Fiscal Year 99/00 (program
year five) and $58,000.00 from Fiscal Year 00/01 (program year six) providing for an
additional $73,000.00 be included as a reallocation and a part of the 2001/2002 Quality of
Life budget. The reallocated amounts include:
Year Proiect Fundina Per Proiect Total Reallocated
FY 99/00 Latin Literary Series 10,000.00
Year 5 Flags on Light Poles 5,000.00 15,000.00
FY 00/01 Arts in North Beach 10,000.00
Year 6 Stone Crab Festival 45,000.00
Miami Modernism 3,000.00 58,000.00
TOTAL 73,000.00
The $592,239.00 in Fiscal Year 2001/2002, which includes five percent (5%) for
administrative charges to NBDC, plus the reallocated balance of $73,000.00, provides a
total of $665,239.00 of Quality of Life funds available through Resort Tax Collections for
the North Beach community.
Since 1995, NBDC has assisted the North Beach community in prioritizing projects to be
implemented. Participation from all parts of the community is encouraged; public meetings
are advertised and held to develop the project "wish list". Consensus is builtthrough these
workshops to fund projects that will yield the greatest benefits for the community at large.
A public meeting was held on May 14, 2003, to reach community agreement on how best
to expend the available Quality of Life/Resort Tax funds from Fiscal Year 2001/2002
(program year seven) for the North Beach community. Of the sixteen (16) individuals in
attendance, only five (5) households were represented at the meeting. All others in
attendance were project applicants (please refer to Appendix B for the May 14, 2003
community meeting sign in sheet).
Projects totaling $1,033,177.00 were reviewed and prioritized by the North Beach
community and the list was reduced to match available funding. Preference was given to
projects with strong tourism components that would clearly benefit both visitors and
residents of the North Beach area. Please see attached Appendix A for a full project list
with descriptions and cost estimates. Last year, NBDC also committed funding $55,777.00
of Quality of Life funds from Fiscal Year 2001/2002 (program year seven) to complete the
North Shore Tennis Center project. These funds were already approved and authorized by
the City Commission through Resolution No. 2002-25048 on November 13, 2002. NBDC
Board reviewed and approved the community's recommendations at their May 20, 2003
meeting.
Subsequently, the City Administration met with NBDC on July 16, 2003 to review their
recommendations. It is standard practice for the Administration to review funding
recommendations with advisory boards (Le Community Development Block Grant and
Cultural Arts Council) prior to City Commission review and approval to ensure that grant
allocations are in line with the City Commission's priorities. Furthermore, despite efforts
made by NBDC, the public meeting held on May 14, 2003 failed to have broad community
representation, which only emphasized the need for appropriate City Administration and
City Commission review. As directed at the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee
meeting of July 16, a workshop will be scheduled for the City Commission to review the
Quality of Life program and process in its entirety.
Discussions at the July 16 meeting with NBDC focused on project funding levels and the
administrative set aside of five percent (5%) for NBDC. Unfortunately, the Administration
and NBDC have not reached consensus on the recommended funding levels for this year's
North Beach Quality of Life Program. The City recommends including funding for the
Byron Carlyle, Normandy Park, North Beach Canal Cleanups, and All-America City
program. This recommendation was based on the City Commission's priorities and
established commitment toward these projects. In order to accomplish this, the
Administration recommends reducing or eliminating funding for the following NBDC
recommended projects: Stone Crab Festival, North Beach Art & Culture Thursday Nights,
Log Cabin Calendar of Events, NBDC Marketing Campaign, and the NBDC Events
Coordinator. (Please refer to Appendix A for a full project list, NBDC's Recommendations,
and the City Administration's recommendations).
Furthermore, the Administration recommends recalculating the five percent (5%) that
NBDC receives for administration netting out all City of Miami Beach projects that do not
require their administrative oversight. This will reduce their administrative funding from
$29,612.00 to $15,786.00 for program year seven and into the future. This reduction was
based on the result of an analysis completed by the City, which compared the NBDC's
operation to the Cultural Arts Council (CAC) and the Miami Beach Visitor and Convention
Authority (VCA). This comparison was done because all three (3) organizations are not-
for-profit marketing and granting agencies. The chart below demonstrates the operational
and program funding levels of all three (3) organizations over the last three (3) fiscal years
and projections for the coming fiscal year.

% of Admin to Proaram Cost 11.47% i 14.88% 26.38%
As you can see, NBDC currently administers their programs with substantially higher
administrative overhead than both the CAC and VCA. It is for this reason that the
Administration recommends recalculating their administrative allocation netting out all
City of Miami Beach projects that do not require their administrative oversight. It is also
important to note that the City has committed an additional $20,000 from the General Fund
and $20,000 from the CDBG fa~ade program allocation toward their administrative
operation, plus $2,000 and $3,000 in a Police Grant and CDBG Grant respectively for the
Teen Job Corps, which equals an annual City contribution of $110,799 toward operating
capital for NBDC. Moreover, the City provides them with an additional $32,000 towards the
production of the Miami Beach Festival of the Arts for a total of $72,000.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends approving the Resolution which appropriates $592,239.00
in Fiscal Year 2001/2002 (less $15,786.00, which is the 5% administrative charge to North
Beach Development Corporation) and reallocating $73,000.00 in prior years' Quality of Life
funding to be expended on projects as recommended by the City Administrations in the
Appendix A, providing $649,440.00 in available Resort tax funds for the purpose offunding
tourism orielMt d projects in the North Beach area.
