long-term plan for allocation of resources to build the uniqueness of Miami Beach as one of the world's
greatest communities and tourism destinations.
A budget revenue projection is provided to the MBVCA by the City of Miami Beach Budget Office annually
based on 5% of the 2% Resort Tax, less 4% for administrative allowance. On an annual basis the MBVCA
must provide the City with a budget, on City forms, based on this projection as outlined in Sec. 102-252,
before October is`
The MBVCA normally budgets funding below the City's projection, as the collection of funds can differ
substantially from projection, such as the result of unanticipated problems like an airline strike, terrorism,
economic issues, or storms. In 2008, revenue collections came in $48,000 under the estimated projection,
and in 2001 the revenue collection was down approximately $300,000 from projection. When and if there
are unallocated funds remaining at the end of the budget year, those funds are either rolled over and
allocated in the next budget year, or retained in MBVCA accounts for future reserves, endowment
funding; to address any funding reductions in future years. In 2001, by statute, the MBVCA began
investing in the creation of an endowment fund.
The MBVCA is required by law to maintain reserve bank accounts in approved public depositories, with
sufficient reserves to cover one year of funding, which it does. Reserves are maintained to pay grant
recipients (contracted) for the previous program funding cycle, and to ensure that sufficient funds can be
invested to stimulate tourism in the future. The level of reserves was modified in 2011 to maximize the
value and impact of tourism directed funds.
The MBVCA submits an annual Program of Work to the CMB as required by Sec. 102-281.

FY 2022/2023 REVIEW/TOURISM ADVANCEMENT PROGRAM (TAP)
The MBVCA Tourism Advancement Program (TAP) was established to promote Miami Beach as a
sophisticated tourist destination by increasing the number of visitors; through the enhancement of
visitors' experiences; through the allocation of funds granted to events or programs that bring visitors to
the CMB and strengthen the CMB brand. In fiscal year 2022/2023, the MBVCA funded the TAP in seven
categories, including: Development Opportunities, Film Incentive, Major One Time Special Event, Special
Events Recurring, Special Projects, Special Projects Recurring, and Tourism Partnerships.
A total of $965,829 was awarded in FY 2022/2023, compared to $954,829 in FY 202112022. The increase
is attributed to the return of many recurring events that have returned to the MBVCA, post -pandemic,
with 1 new event receiving funding from the MBVCA.
Grants funded in partnership with the CMB are critical, branded tourism -related programs, such as the
Food Network & Cooking Channel South Beach Wine + Food Festival and UNTITLED, Art in Miami Beach;
both examples of events whose beginnings in Miami Beach stem from grants provided by the MBVCA;
events that could easily be recruited by other destinations.
FY 2023/2024 TOURISM ADVANCEMENT PROGRAM (TAP)
The MBVCA strategically focuses its funding to maximize tourism and brand; to improve Miami Beach by
focusing on events and projects that generate significant publicity; strengthen brand and increase tourism
(generating critical resort taxes for Miami Beach). The Board pays significant attention to marquee
events.
Review process:
For over two decades, the MBVCA has used a multi -level review process for its grant program and the
process is reviewed annually. The process includes a mandatory pre -proposal staff conference to discuss
MBVCA policies, procedures, and the TAP. During the meeting, MBVCA administration advises each
potential applicant regarding the eligibility and appropriateness of the proposed project and determines
the grant category best suited to the potential applicant. Once it is determined that the project is eligible,
the MBVCA administration provides further detail, including required attachments, relevant meeting
dates, deadlines, and access to the online Application Portal. The applicant is provided with an overview
of the application submission process. All applications are submitted through the online Application Portal
in a multi -step format. All grant formats and policies are available on the MBVCA website. By Florida law,
all MBVCA meetings are advertised and open to the public; all records are public records.
Annually, the MBVCA Board reviews and refines grant guidelines with respect to efficacy and
effectiveness. In FY 2012/2013, the MBVCA implemented changes to its funding caps and declining scale.
The new declining scale and funding caps allowed the MBVCA to diversify their funding into other areas
and initiatives as requested by the City Administration and/or the Board. In FY 2022/2023 the MBVCA
voted to maintain the Major One Time Special Event and Special Events Recurring minimum criteria at
200 hotel room nights and maintained the media impressions and viewership minimum requirements at
1,000,000 each. The Special Projects and Special Projects Recurring hotel room night requirements were
also maintained at 1,000 hotel room nights, along with the media impressions at 100,000,000, with the
viewership requirement at 10,000,000. The Board continued to accept hotel agreements in place of fully
executed hotel contracts, to meet the hotel requirement, as long as they were entered into by the
Applicant Organization. This allowed groups to assume less risk when entering agreements and to
encourage new events to apply. This criterion will remain the same in FY 2023/2024.
EXHIBIT F
MBVCA FY 2024 COMMISSION MEMO AND BUDGET
The Board will also continue to allow applicants to submit their reviews and/or audits using Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP), as well as, prepared in accordance with Statements on Standards
for Accounting and Review Services promulgated by the Accounting and Review Services Committee of
the AICPA, for tax basis financial statements, in FY 2023/2024.
The grant criteria guidelines were reviewed for clarity and accuracy, requiring fully executed agreements
and contracts to be submitted prior to proceeding with the next step in the application process. The
application requires hotel room block agreements and/or blocks; fully executed media contracts or
confirmed and generated media impressions, and/or broadcast/cable/TV contracts, in order to proceed
with the grant submission. The criteria must be confirmed before and after funding is awarded and grant
applicants must meet two of the three criteria in place for each of the MBVCA grant categories. MBVCA
grants are paid upon performance; therefore, grantees are required to provide post -performance reports
in the form of reservation or pick-up reports from Miami Beach hotels; impressions analytics garnered
from the organization's PR Firm, or accompanied by third party confirmation from a media
monitoring/press clipping service such as BurrellesLuce to prove media impressions, and/or a broadcast
post -performance report from a third party reporting delivery of Adult 18+ and Households (HH) in
Thousands (000) from Nielsen, Over The Top (OTT), or Comscore/Rentrak for viewership. In FY
2023/2024, the guidelines will specify that third party hotel agreements will not be accepted. In addition,
any changes to the original hotel agreements must be reported to the administration.
In FY 2023/2024, the MBVCA will include specific language/messaging provided by the grantee within its
social media accounts to include Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. In turn, the Grantee will be required
to proactively socialize information, photos and details that relate to the promotion with the specific
inclusion and tagging of the MBVCA throughout its social media platform handles: Facebook -
@ExperienceMiamiBeach; Instagram - @ExperienceMiamiBeach, and Twitter - @EMiamiBeach. The
Grantee will be required to post, at a minimum, six pieces of content, to include three pieces of content
with tags during their live activation in -market and in real time; two stories and one in -feed post plus,
three pieces of post event content with appropriate tags within ten days of the activation dates. As part
of their post -event reports, the grantee would then provide a topline recap of reach, engagement and any
other key metrics based on performance from their respective channels within 30 days of the
posting. Proof of engagement and other key metrics will also be required from the grantees' social media
platforms metrics/insights, with copies provided with the grantees' respective final report
documentation, post -event.
The MBVCA guidelines and application process place emphasis on defining and measuring the economic
impact of each event, as well as considering the impact and value of marketing, publicity, and television
origination/viewership. Questions concerning the economic impact of the program, including requiring an
explanation of various aspects of the marketing plan, and how the numbers of hotel room nights are
calculated and where they are contracted, are also required as part of the application. Standardized recap
sheets and point systems have been developed to give each applicant a score that rates potential success.
In 2020/2021, specific point systems were developed and implemented for each of the grant categories.
The redesign allowed for a better alignment with the minimum requirements in place within each grant
category, focusing the scoring on the three grant criteria in place, of which an applicant must meet two.
This point system will remain in place for FY 2023/2024.
EXHIBIT F
MBVCA FY 2024 COMMISSION MEMO AND BUDGET
Utilizing these tools, the MBVCA is better equipped to evaluate the applicant's long-term commitment to
the community; commitment to brand enhancement; value to tourism, and overall economic impact. The
MBVCA Board then votes on each specific and individual grant, and evaluates the grant request, funds
available, and possible extenuating circumstances, after a formal presentation is made by the grant
applicant. A question -and -answer period follows, with further discussion as needed.
RECURRING PROJECTS:
The MBVCA has a current policy in place to fund recurring projects on a declining scale. The declining scale
encourages recurring events to recruit corporate and private sponsorship and therefore, not solely rely
on MBVCA funds as a means of sustaining the event year after year. The award category establishes
funding caps for recurring events, funding that can be reduced based on the maximum request for the
specific grant category. Below is the current scale, implemented in FY 201212013, and applicable to both
non- and for -profit agencies. The declining scale will remain in place for FY 2023/2024,

This will allow for partnerships with the Miami Beach Cultural Arts Council, for the No Vacancy project
and for additional citywide projects like Open House Miami.
In FY 2020/2021, the MBVCA partnered with the City of Miami Beach to assist with the funding of the No
Vacancy, Miami Beach project that was scheduled to take place May 7 — 17, 2020. The project is a
contemporary art experience that celebrates artists, provokes critical discourse, and invites the public to
experience Miami Beach's famed hotels as destination art spaces by turning hotels into temporary cultural
institutions. The art was to have been exhibited throughout ten (10) hotels in Miami Beach - lobbies,
restaurants, lounges, patio areas, rooms, balconies, and swimming pools were available to serve as the
canvas. Due to the pandemic, the project was postponed and took place December 2 - 12, 2020. During

In addition, the MBVCA will be partnering with the GMCVB and the Miami Center for Architecture &
Design (MCAD), and other partners to launch the inaugural year of Open House Miami. Open House
Worldwide is a global network of nearly 60 nonprofit organizations from New York to Seoul, Buenos Aires
to Maputo, San Diego to Miami! Each organization is dedicated to making cities more open, accessible,
and equitable. The network now spans 52 festivals, 29 countries, and 6 continents. The Miami edition is
scheduled to take place March 1 - 2, 2024, with participating buildings and venues throughout Miami
Dade County and beyond, allowing access to some of the areas that may otherwise be restricted to the
general public. Open House Miami will allow patrons to access these buildings and learn about their
architecture and what takes place back of house.
Initiatives
The MBVCA expects to support new initiatives in FY 2023/2024. Strategic plans, goals and initiatives are
developed through consultation, the result of ongoing communications with the Mayor, Commission, and
City Administration.
Public Relations Initiative
In FY 2013/2014, the MBVCA issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for a P.R. agency of record
to enhance Miami Beach's image, after their initial Request for Proposals (RFP) issued in FY 2011/2012.
The MBVCA selected Hill & Knowlton/SAMCOR (H+K) to support the MBVCA efforts by continuing to
increase brand awareness through strategic media outreach to consumer and travel trades, major event
recruitment, and business and corporate communications programs. Objectives included comprehensive
destination marketing and communications consulting services to continue to expand public relations and
marketing, increasing the overall social media footprint through all social media handles, both MBVCA
and Experience Miami Beach, and marketing of Miami Beach to international and national visitors,
complimenting the efforts of the GMCVB. H+K had an extensive presence in the US and
internationally. The agency's ability to network and leverage its global relationships was crucial to the
growth ofthe'Miami Beach' brand.
H+K created and distributed a total of 15 press releases and pitches during their first year as agency of
record, garnering 3,416,581,560 media impressions and 12 press releases during their second year,
generating 3,913,341,910 media impressions. In their third year, H+K generated 2,783,369,818 media
impressions through the issuance of 12 press releases and a Harris Poll Survey that was conducted to
determine why people visit Miami Beach. During their fourth year, H+K developed and released a total of
12 press releases and 1 pitch, generating a total of 1,492,734,059 media impressions, valued at
$15,615,214.75. During its fifth year H+K wrote and released 12 press releases, generating 1,410,465,887
media impressions, valued at $15,638,438.52. During its sixth year, a total of 15 press releases were
written and distributed, generating 1,272,729,422 impressions valued at $14,353,222.76. During their
seventh year, a total of 15 press releases and 1 Audio News Release (ANR) were distributed generating
1,302,477,118 impressions valued at $1,583,728.46. During their eighth year, a total of 13 press releases
were distributed, generating a total of 1,042,610,221 impressions with a value of $1,041,811.24. In their
eighth year in working with the MBVCA, H+K collectively released a total of 16 press releases to date,
generating a total of 1,042,610,221 media impressions, with a value of $1,041,811.24. Through a contract
extension for year 9, a total of 3 press releases were distributed that generated 195,661,377 media

The contract with H+K ran through September 30, 2022, in FY 2021/2022. In FY 2021/2022, the PR contract
went out to bid via RFP with a cohesive scope of services developed in conjunction with the GMCVB, to
avoid duplicating efforts and deliver a united message that Miami Beach is open and welcoming back its
visitors, post -pandemic. As a result, Private Label Marketing, LLC was awarded a one-year contract for PR
services. Within their first year (January through December 2022), a total of 2,736,064,485 impressions
were generated as a result of 13 press releases and services. The impressions generated were valued at
$ 24,864,486.11.
In FY 2022/2023, the Board unanimously voted to renew the PR contract with Private Label Marketing,
LLC for a one-year term, beginning January 2023. As of June 2023, a total of 1,042,619,751 impressions
have been generated, as a result of 5 press releases; valued at $9,624,698.04.
There is an allotment of $200,000, representing 5% of the total budget, towards this effort, in FY
2023/2024.
Destination Marketing
The Destination Marketing allocation reflects 13% of the total budget for FY 2023/2024. This allocation
provides for the additional placement of stories and press releases on the PR Newswire as well as the
continuation of our Blogger Program, FAM trips, online sweepstakes to promote increased activity on our
social media channels, as well as ticket giveaway promotions/sweepstakes from MBVCA-funded events.
Projects will include the continuation of the Forbes Travel Guide Online Webinars, offering free hospitality
training to Miami Beach -based employees. The webinars were incorporated during the pandemic when
live trainings could not be conducted. Due to their popularity, they will again be offered during the
upcoming fiscal year, for both Frontline and Leadership level employees, and available to all hospitality
employees. A different topic will be introduced during each session.
App Marketing
The MBVCA wishes to continue to provide visitors with timely and relevant information about the City of
Miami Beach; its public and private attractions, services, hotels, businesses, and events in order to
enhance visitors' (and residents') experiences. Visitors to Miami Beach - all visitors worldwide — are
increasingly using technology to navigate cities or make decisions about leisure experiences, dining,
parking, entertainment, and travel in general. Worldwide, technology is king. Many visitors already use
the free Miami Beach Wi-Fi service, CMBWiFi, to access the information they need at select public
locations around town.
Since its latest version release, the Experience Miami Beach (EMB) App, formerly the Miami Beach
Information (MBI) App, has added new and exciting features for the end -user that include a side -swipe
feature; listing the information in an A-Z format; the addition of new categories that included Shopping,
Nightlife, Art & Culture, and Restaurants, and the creation of the "My Miami Beach" section where users
can add events, photos, and itineraries as they navigate the App. The App also features a "Deals" section
that has special promotional rates or offers developed by MBVCA grantees that can be cross promoted
through MBVCA grantees and social media pages such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. The App has
now been downloaded 20,400 times (as of June 2023), across the Android and iOS
platforms. Approximately half of all downloads come from European users seeking to learn about Miami
Beach.
EXHIBIT F
MBVCA FY 2024 COMMISSION MEMO AND BUDGET
During FY 202112022, the App's name was changed to Experience Miami Beach, from Miami Beach
Information, to be better aligned with the MBVCA's social media accounts. In addition, the App was
promoted through partnerships with the MBVCA grantees, featuring various events and upcoming
grantee events.
In FY 2022/2023, a new app entitled EXPMiamiBeach.Tours was released through iOS, Android, and was
made available to view on mobile web devices. The new app focused solely on the enhanced version of
the existing tours and provided a platform to include new tours curated with the MBVCA's various
partners. Some of the tours created included "Art in Public Places", "No Vacancy Miami Beach" (available
during the project dates), both through a collaboration with the City of Miami Beach; "Art Outside"
through a collaboration with The Bass Museum; a "Cultural Institutions" tour, developed in collaboration
with Miami Beach's museums and cultural spaces; "LGBTQ Sites Top Five" and "LGBTQ Nightlife" tour,
both through a collaboration with the GMCVB and the Miami Dade Gay and Lesbian Chamber of
Commerce; and the "Hidden Art", "Public Art and Iconic History", and "A Day Inside Miami Beach
Architectural Wonders" tours, all developed through a collaboration with George Neary, Board Member
and President of Tours "R" Us.
In FY 202312024, the MBVCA will continue to promote both Apps through social media; the MBVCA
website; specific ads promoting the apps, and grantee partnerships, allocating 1% of its total budget.
Deals, promotions, and special notices will continue to be posted and promoted through the Experience
Miami Beach App as well.
IT Development
The MBVCA's preliminary review of opportunities and needs was initiated in spring 2011 in consultation
with area experts, and after a public meeting sponsored by the MBVCA, as a situational analysis. The
MBVCA released an RFP in January 2012 and awarded a one-year contract to Just Program LLC dba Solodev
on May 22, 2012. The purpose of the RFP was to develop a Miami Beach -focused web -based digital
content management system (CMS) and modifiable database to support third party mobile applications
via an application programming interface (API).
Currently, the API is fully functional with forty-one (41) distinct categories of businesses, each averaging
90 different services and amenities.
In FY 202012021, the API upgrades included the updating of various sections within the business
categories. They also included adding whether a restaurant/bar/nightclub's event space is considered
small, medium, or large; the changing of celebrity chef to executive chef, expanding the Cuisine type,
adding services, and what the restaurant is "good for" within the restaurant category; adding services and
amenities to the Bars category; changing form fields and services within the Nightclub category; adding
"Dorm Style" to the type of hotel room within the hotel category, as well as, adding property and room
amenities; adding additional services to the Beauty Parlors category, and adding Health & Safety Measures
throughout all of the business categories.
In 202112022, the staff collaborated with the Board to create walking tours that were then featured on
the MBVCA newsletters. The tours included "A Day Inside Miami Beach Architectural Tour" and "Public
Art and Iconic History Tour".
EXHIBIT F
MBVCA FY 2024 COMMISSION MEMO AND BUDGET
In 2022/2023, the Experience Miami Beach App was updated with the revamped list of businesses. The
categories available were reviewed and condensed to be more in line with what a tourist would search
for when visiting our City. Web and App developers can use these attributes to create new and exciting
experiences for their end -users. The App continued to promote the MBVCA grantee's deals and
highlighted various promotions available.
In FY 2023/2024, the MBVCA will continue to work with City personnel to ensure the business information
within the API is the most up to date. A total of $100,000, or 3% of the total budget, will be allocated
towards IT development.
Research and Development
The MBVCA will develop a strategic list of major events worldwide as the result of ongoing
communications and consulting with all partners. We expect to investigate some of these events with the
goal of the development of a new major event for the destination. They will continue to work with their
PR firm of record, to compile a list of major events that could be attracted to the destination. The MBVCA
will also continue to collaborate with local partners. A total of $152,000 has been allotted for Research
and Development in FY 2023/2024.
Projected Cash Flow Reserve
The MBVCA has budgeted $5,000 of the total budget, for cash flow reserve in FY 2023/2024. The City of
Miami Beach allots resort tax payments to the MBVCA a month after its collection; therefore, as a fiscal
responsibility, the MBVCA has built in a projected cash flow reserve to its budget to ensure that all grants

GENERAL FUND BUDGET
The General Fund is the primary source of funding for many City services provided such as Police
and Fire, as well as Parks and Recreation, Code Compliance, and Public Works, among other
services. Revenues are derived from ad valorem property taxes, franchise and utility taxes,
business license and permit fees, revenue sharing from various statewide taxes, user fees for
services, fines, rents and concession fees, and interest income. Additionally, intergovernmental
revenues from Miami -Dade County and the City's Resort Tax Fund contribute funding for tourist -
related services provided by General Fund departments.
At the July 21, 2023 Finance and Economic Resiliency Committee (FERC) Budget Briefing, the
Mayor and City Commission were briefed regarding the FY 2024 General Fund budget. The
preliminary budget represents the cost of providing the same level of services as in the prior year
and serves as the baseline of funding for the annual budget development process.
Revenues $423,439,000
Expenditures 1 410,080,000
Sun*(Gap) I $13,2ft M
In addition, the Administration identified and recommended a combination of revenue
refinements, as well as one-time and recurring expenditure enhancements/reductions, which, if
approved by the FERC, would have resulted in a balanced General Fund budget.

First Public Hearing
At the first public hearing on September 13, 2023, the Administration presented the proposed FY
2024 General Fund budget to the City Commission, which was balanced. In addition, there were
several follow-up items from the July 21, 2023 FERC Budget Briefing that the Administration was
directed to research further and return to the City Commission with an update at the first public
hearing.
A full-time sworn position was recommended by the Administration for the Fire Department in the
FY 2024 General Fund budget to address the increased demand for special event plan review
services, which was accepted. However, direction was given to the Administration to explore a
potential increase in fees to offset the cost of the additional full-time position that was
recommended. At the first public hearing, the Administration recommended that an administrative
fee of $12/hour be implemented in FY 2024, which would be increased to $15/hour in FY 2025
and then indexed to CPI every year thereafter to offset the cost of the additional full-time position
recommended for FY 2024. The recommendation was accepted by the City Commission at the
first public hearing. The impact of this fee, which will be implemented in FY 2024, will be monitored
during FY 2024 and be re-evaluated and incorporated into the FY 2025 budget.
In addition, several additional one-time and recurring expenditure enhancements totaling
$675,000 were brought forth by members of the City Commission for consideration and inclusion
in the FY 2024 budget. These additional expenditure enhancements, which are further detailed
below, were approved by the City Commission for inclusion in the FY 2024 budget.
Travel Soccer Program: ($100,000)
The City's Parks and Recreation Department currently runs the Miami Beach FC Travel
Soccer Program. This competitive travel soccer program consists of several teams in the

off the field, further program player development, recruit new players, and to expand the
club. Based on discussion at the September 13, 2023 City Commission meeting and
direction received, it is recommended that $100,000 be allocated in the annual budget
commencing FY 2024 to support the Miami Beach FC Travel Soccer Program.
• Transfer to Capital PavGo Fund for Pickleball Courts in Flamingo Park: ($425 000)
Miami Beach Pickleball officially launched designated pickleball courts at two locations in
2022. This has manifested into an expansive and diverse community of residents and
visitors from all over the world, playing pickleball daily. This request is to allocate funding

enhancements summarized above that were approved for inclusion in the FY 2024 General Fund
budget are being funded by an increase in the FY 2024 transfer from the Resort Tax Fund to the
General Fund of $675,000 as a result of other additional adjustments that were recommended by
the City Commission at the first public hearing for the Resort Tax Fund that are detailed further in
the Resort Tax section below.

Estimated Impact of Recommended Internal Service Fund Department Enhancements on
the 2% Resort Tax Fund: ($10,000)
For FY 2024, there are several expenditure enhancements recommended for the City's
various Internal Service Fund Departments, such as Facilities and Fleet Management and
Information Technology, among others. The amount reflected of $10,000 represents the
portion of the total expenditure enhancements recommended for the Internal Service
Fund Departments for FY 2024 that is estimated to impact the 2% Resort Tax Fund budget
since a large part of each Internal Service Fund Departments' total operating budget is
charged back to other City departments and funds based on services provided.
RESORT TAX RESERVES
The Resort Tax reserve as of September 30, 2022 is $37.9 million, or 50.0%, which equals 6
months of reserves based on the FY 2023 adopted budget. The reserve policy for the 2% Resort
Tax Fund is a minimum of 2 months and a goal of 6 months pursuant to Resolution No. 2019-
30664 that was adopted by the City Commission on January 16, 2019.
Based on the FY 2024 2% Resort Tax budget, the updated reserve goal for the 2% Resort Tax
Fund increases by $2.2 million to $40.1 million, which is the equivalent of 6 months of the FY
2024 budget of approximately $80.2 million.
Additional funding requirements for the City's 2% Resort Tax reserves based on the FY 2024
budget will be evaluated as part of the year-end process for FY 2023.
FY 2024 ENTERPRISE FUND BUDGETS
The City accounts for those goods and services provided by a particular department to external
users for which a fee is charged as Enterprise Funds. The City's Sanitation, Water, Storm Water,
Sewer, Parking, Convention Center, and Building operations comprise this category of proprietary
funds. The FY 2024 Enterprise Funds budgets total $289.1 million. This represents an increase
of approximately $43.2 million, or 17.5%, from the adopted FY 2023 Enterprise Funds budgets
totaling $245.9 million, primarily due to the following:
Page 121 of 550
FY 2024 Final Operating Budgets
September 27, 2023
Page 23
Water reflects an overall increase of approximately $7.6 million, or 20.8%, primarily due

and Sewer Department (WASD) based on projected consumption and an increase in rates
for wholesale water purchased for FY 2024 from WASD of 9.64%. In addition, the FY 2024
budget includes a "true -up" expenditure adjustment based on notification from WASD of

to an increase in costs for sanitary sewer treatment services provided by Miami -Dade
County's Water and Sewer Department (WASD) based on projected usage and an
increase in rates for sanitary sewer services provided by WASD for FY 2024 of 5.32%. In
addition, the FY 2024 budget includes a "true -up" expenditure adjustment based on
notification from WASD of the results of the prior year's audited operations.
Storm Water reflects an overall increase of approximately $4.4 million, or 12.8%, primarily
due to an increase in operating and capital expenditures for vehicles and machinery and
equipment scheduled for replacement in FY 2024, as well as new/additional machinery,
equipment, and supplies proposed for FY 2024 based on operational needs. In addition,
the budget includes an increase in the budgeted set aside for future renewal and
replacement of Storm Water capital assets that is based on projected revenues in excess
of expenditures.
• Sanitation reflects an overall increase of $929,000, or 3.9%, primarily due to increases in
personnel and operating expenditures for enhanced staffing and services proposed for FY
2024, as well as increases in residential solid waste bulk and recycling services attributed
to increases in rates for services provided.
• Building reflects an overall increase of $916,000, or 5.1%, primarily due to increases
personnel expenditures resulting from applicable merit and cost of living adjustment
increases and increases in the City's premiums for health and life insurance for all City
employees budgeted in FY 2024, as well as increases in operating expenditures based
on anticipated department needs in FY 2024.
• Parking reflects an overall increase of approximately $6.4 million, or 13.7%, primarily due

projected revenues in excess of expenditures for FY 2024 and vehicles, machinery, and

City Commission on September 13, 2023 for inclusion in the FY 2024 budget.
FY 2024 INTERNAL SERVICE FUND BUDGETS
The City accounts for goods and services provided by one department to other departments
citywide on a cost reimbursement basis as Internal Service Funds. Central Services, Facilities
and Fleet Management, Information Technology, Risk Management, Medical and Dental, and the
Office of the Inspector General comprise this category of proprietary funds. The FY 2024 budgets
for the Internal Service Funds total $132.1 million, which is an increase of approximately $9.7
million, or 7.9%, over the adopted FY 2023 budgets for the Internal Service Funds totaling $122.4
million, primarily due to the following:
• The Medical and Dental Fund budget increased by approximately $3.7 million, or 8.0%,
primarily due to projected increases in paid medical and prescription claims based on
current year actuarial projections and claims experience.
• Fleet Management reflects an overall increase of approximately $2.2 million, or 12.3%,
primarily due to vehicles and equipment that are scheduled for replacement in FY 2024
per Fleet Management using cash instead of debt financing which would reduce the City's
future borrowing costs and establish a recurring source of funding for the replacement of
future vehicles and equipment.
• Information Technology reflects an overall increase of $74,000, or 0.4%, primarily due to
increases in personnel services expenditures resulting from applicable merit and cost of
living adjustment increases and increases in the City's premiums for health and life
insurance for all City employees that are budgeted in FY 2024 that are partially offset by
decreases in operating expenditures based on anticipated department needs.
• Risk Management reflects an overall increase of approximately $2.9 million, 12.1 %,
primarily due to projected increases in the renewal rates across most lines of insurance,
including windstorm and flood, for the City's existing capital assets, and increases in
workers compensation and liability payments based on claims experience and actuarial
projections.
• Facilities Management reflects an overall increase of $697,000, or 5.8%, primarily due to
increases in operating expenditures for additional iguana remediation services approved
by the City Commission mid -year in FY 2023, holiday lighting maintenance, janitorial
services, and general and preventive cyclical maintenance for the City's facilities.
• The Office of the Inspector General reflects an overall decrease of $2,000, or 0.1%,
primarily due to the re -allocation of some of the department's existing positions between
its different funding sources and decreases in charges from other Internal Service
departments based on usage.
• Central Services reflects an overall increase of $136,000, or 13.0%, primarily due to
vehicles, machinery, and equipment that are scheduled for replacement in FY 2024, as
well as increases in personnel services expenditures resulting from applicable merit and
Page 123 of 550
FY 2024 Final Operating Budgets
September 27, 2023
Page 25
cost of living adjustment increases and increases in the City's premiums for health and life
insurance for all City employees that are budgeted in FY 2024.
Internal Service costs are completely allocated to the General Fund and Enterprise Fund
departments, as well as Special Revenue Funds. The Risk Management Fund, however,
reimburses the General Fund for the cost of legal services provided.
USE OF ONE-TIME REVENUES FOR RECURRING EXPENDITURES
The City's current policy regarding the use of one-time revenues states that "the City of Miami
Beach will use one-time, non -recurring revenue for capital expenditures or one-time expenditures
and not subsidize recurring personnel, operations, and maintenance costs." The FY 2024 budgets
for the Building and Sanitation Funds require the use of fund balance for recurring operating
expenditures as set forth in the budgets presented for FY 2024.
As a result, it is recommended that the Mayor and City Commission waive this policy, as adopted
by Resolution No. 2006-26341, providing for the one-time use of fund balance to be utilized for
the FY 2024 Building and Sanitation Funds budgets for recurring personnel, operations, and
maintenance costs. During the upcoming fiscal year, the Administration will continue to explore
and recommend further actions to ensure that these funds move toward being structurally
balanced.

enhancements that were approved mid -year in FY 2023, the proposed full-time position count is

Subsidize a Water Taxi Program to provide an alternative mode of

information received from Poseidon Ferry LLC, which operated ferry
service between the City of Miami Beach and the City of Miami until
12/31 /2022 and plans to resume service on 6/l /23, their annual
operational cost is approx. $600,000 (excluding docking fee) for one

The Administration believes that for ferry service to be a successful and
convenient transit option, headwoys should be 30 minutes or better.
Assuming the same operational cost and business model as Poseidon
Ferry LLC, the annual cost of providing full turnkey ferry service with two
vessels at a 30-minute headway would be approx. $1 .2 million. Thus,
this enhancement would provide a 50% subsidy for the operation of
such water taxi service as adopted by the City Commission on June 28,
2023.
