Item Summa (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.OL) 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.
At a February 18, 2004 Commission Workshop regarding Quality of Life funds the City Administration was directed to
freeze the Quality of Life funding allocated to the three areas at the current level (FY 2001/2002 level) and any
additional funds received should be allocated to the Tourism and Cultural Development Department (TCD) for cultural
affairs. In essence, this begins to divide the funding into quarters. This method of funding will continue until such time
as the TCD funding equals the funding for the three areas. After that, the 50% allocation of the 1 % Resort Tax shall be
equally allocated to North Beach, Middle Beach, South Beach, and TCD, each receiving 25% of the collections.
A public meeting was held on May 17, 2004, to reach community agreement on how best to expend the available
Quality of Life/Resort Tax funds from Fiscal Year 2002/2003 (program year eight) for the North Beach community.
Projects totaling $1,045.077.00 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 and cost
estimates. Last year, via Resolution No. 2003-25309 NBDC and the City also committed funding $25,000.00 of Quality
of Life funds from Fiscal Year 2002/2003 (program year eight) for the Byron Carlyle Theater project. This allocation was
added to a new request that will complete the purchase ofthe final furniture, fixtures, and equipment forthe theater. At
the meeting, the north beach community voted to eliminate funding for an additional Code Compliance Officer, which
has been funded by North Beach Quality of Life Funds for the past three (3) years. The Administration subsequently
recommended reinstating funding for the additional Code Compliance Officer for North Beach as this enhancement has
proven to help maintain property standards in the North Beach business district. In order to accomplish this, the
Administration recommends slightly reducing funding for the following projects: Shane Watersports Center Expansion,
NBDC Marketin Cam ai n, and Teen Job Cor s.

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.OL) 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.
At a February 18, 2004 Commission Workshop regarding Quality of Life funds the City
Administration was directed to freeze the Quality of Life funding allocated to the three
areas at the current level (FY 2001/2002 level) and any additional funds received should be
allocated to the Tourism and Cultural Development Department (TCD) for cultural affairs.
In essence, this begins to divide the funding into quarters. This method of funding will
continue until such time as the TCD funding equals the funding for the three areas. After
that, the 50% allocation of the 1 % Resort Tax shall be equally allocated to North Beach,
Middle Beach, South Beach, and TCD, each receiving 25% of the collections. This
commitment offunding for arts and cultural was done to provide a new permanent funding
source that will help sustain cultural programs long-term.
North Beach Development Corporation (NBDC) is entering year eight ofthis program. The
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 $6,444.74 from Fiscal Year 00/01 (program year six), $91.38 from
Fiscal Year 99/00 (program year five), and $732.71 from Fiscal Year 97/98 (program year
three) providing for an additional $7,268.83 be included as a reallocation and a part of the
2002/2003 Quality of Life budget. The reallocated amounts include:

The $592,239.00 in Fiscal Year 2002/2003, which includes five percent (5%) for
administrative charges to NBDC, netting out all City of Miami Beach projects that do not
require NBDC administrative oversight, plus the reallocated balance of$7,268.83, provides
a total of $599,508.00 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 built through these
workshops to fund projects that will yield the greatest benefits for the community at large.
A public meeting was held on May 17, 2004, to reach community agreement on how best
to expend the available Quality of Life/Resort Tax funds from Fiscal Year 2002/2003
(program year eight) for the North Beach community. Projects totaling $1,045,077.00 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 and cost estimates. Last year, via Resolution No.
2003-25309 NBDC and the City also committed funding $25,000.00 of Quality of Life funds
from Fiscal Year 2002/2003 (program year eight) for the Byron Carlyle Theater project.
This allocation was added to a new request that will complete the purchase of the final
furniture, fixtures, and equipment for the theater. At the meeting, the north beach
community voted to eliminate funding for an additional Code Compliance Officer, which
has been funded by North Beach Quality of Life Funds for the past three (3) years. NBDC
Board reviewed and approved the community's recommendations at their May 18, 2004
meeting.
The City Administration met with NBDC 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. The Administration subsequently recommended reinstating funding for the
additional Code Compliance Officer for North Beach as this enhancement has proven to
help maintain property standards in the North Beach business district. In order to
accomplish this, the Administration recommends slightly reducing funding for the following
projects: Shane Watersports Center Expansion, NBDC Marketing Campaign, and Teen
Job Corps. (Please refer to Appendix A for a full project list, North Beach community
recommendations, and the City Administration's recommendations).
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends approving the Resolution which appropriates $599,508.00
in Fiscal Year 2002/2003 (less $12,935.00, which is the 5% administrative charge to North
Beach Development Corporation) and reallocating $7,268.83 in prior years' Quality of Life
funding to be expended on projects as recommended by the City Administrations in the
Appendix A, providing $586,573.00 in available Resort tax funds for the purpose offunding
tourism oriented~'ects in the North Beach area.
