with the largest being $195,000 in 2006. It is projected that the Theater will have an operating
Toss of almost $42,000 in the current fiscal year. The Administration's intent is to eliminate the

KEY INTENDED OUTCOME SUPPORTED
Maximize Miami Beach as a Brand Destination and Diversify Business Base in Miami Beach.
ANALYSIS
The Byron Carlyle Theater Complex (the "Theater "), located at 500 71 Street, between Byron
Avenue and Carlyle Avenue, originally opened in December 1968 as twin cinemas hosting
first -run movies in the heart of North Beach. A total of 994 seats were originally built, with the
large auditorium having a capacity of 590 seats. In the mid- 1970s, the Theater was re-
developed into a multiplex cinema; the larger auditorium to the west was subdivided into five
(5) smaller theaters. Following the opening of the Regal Cinemas on Lincoln Road, the theater
was closed by its owner, Wometco Enterprises, and the City of Miami Beach purchased it in
2001, for $1.7 million.

The North Beach Town Center Plan, adopted in July, 2007, identifies a wide range of
strategies to attract new development. The most important of the strategies identified includes
the assemblage of one or two sites large enough to provide the critical mass of activity
necessary to serve as anchors to support smaller site development in the district; to program
the Byron Carlyle Theater and the North Beach Bandshell as cultural anchors to bookend both
sides of the district; and to provide convenient public parking to lower the cost of development.
The Byron Carlyle Theater property was identified as an important piece of the Town Center
redevelopment strategy because of the location, size, public ownership and potential to
provide a cultural anchor. Undoubtedly, cultural facilities are proven magnets for economic
revitalization, both for the business community and for residential development by making the
community more attractive. Indeed, the purchase and renovation of the theater was intended
for economic development purposes, as well as to assist the local talent by providing a venue
for rehearsal, performances, office space, and to ensure that, once established, the arts would
be able to remain in a rejuvenated North Beach. However, for the Byron Carlyle Theater to
succeed in this role, a few of the other supporting elements of the plan should be underway.
BACKGROUND
Issuance of RFP /2008:
In May of 2008, the City Commission directed the Administration to research and propose
alternatives for the privatization of the Byron Carlyle Theater. Subsequently, at the July 9,
2008 Finance and Citywide Projects Committee meeting, the Committee recommended the
issuance of a Request for Proposals (RFP) and directed staff to place this item on the July 16,
2008 City Commission agenda. RFP No. 39 -07/08 was issued on July 22, 2008 and two
proposals were received. The evaluation committee unanimously recommended to reject both
proposals and to request the re- issuance of a new RFP for the Management and /or
Development of the Byron Carlyle Theater Complex. The Finance and Citywide Projects
Committee considered this matter at its meeting on March 10, 2009, and also recommended
that the City reject both proposals and issue a new RFP. It was recommended that the new
RFP should encourage potentially different uses for the facility, and should request superior
evidence of financial capacity of the proposers and demonstrated capacity to sustain the
proposed programming.
Neighborhoods and Community Affairs Committee /2009:
This subject was discussed again at the October 2009 Neighborhoods and Community Affairs
Committee meeting following a discussion at the September 9, 2009 City Commission meeting
regarding the potential marketing of the property by a broker for either rental or sale. At the
time, the City had just received an "Opinion of Value" for the property.
Much of the subsequent Committee discussion centered on reactivating a movie theater
operation at the Byron Carlyle with potentially some food, beverage and alcohol component,
rather than selling the facility. Also discussed was the possibility of removing Global Spectrum
from managing the facility to make it less expensive for users to rent, as well as whether or not
the City should assume responsibility for directly programming the facility, instead of operating
it as a rental facility. The Administration advised the Committee that eliminating Global
Spectrum and /or having the City program the facility would require additional staff, which
carries a cost that is not currently funded.
The Committee directed staff to return to the Neighborhoods /Community Affairs Committee
with its suggestions for the programming and management of the Byron Carlyle Theater, such
as having an organization selected to be responsible for also making the facility available for
Stage Door Theater Management Agreement for the Byron Carlyle Theater Complex
Commission Memorandum
April 13, 2011
Page 3
other programming. It was understood by staff that the expectation was that the organization
selected would assume all costs, providing a savings to the City.
At the January 19, 2010, Neighborhoods and Community Affairs Committee, the
Administration reviewed the history of this item and also explained that a number of
organizations toured the facility. Some of the organizations were referred by members of the
City Commission, while others were initiated through the Tourism and Cultural Development
Department. Committee members present also clarified to the Administration that they would
also consider subsidizing costs at the Byron if a resident company were able to activate the
space regularly. The Committee unanimously recommended that the Administration
immediately issue an RFP for management and /or development of the Byron Carlyle Theater.
Additionally, the Committee unanimously recommended the Administration simultaneously
work with the City's broker in order to determine if there is a commercial client interested in
leasing or purchasing the facility. All options would be presented to the City Commission for
consideration.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
Based on the direction provided at the Neighborhoods and Community Affairs Committee, the
City issued RFP No. 24- 09/10.
Summary:
The City was interested in proposals for use of the existing theater portion of the building as a
theater or with some similar cultural use. Proposers were encouraged to submit proposals that
would address the needs of the community and provide both daytime and nighttime uses if
possible. The City would also consider proposals that incorporate the closed, western portion
of the building, or for only the western portion of the building, for a use compatible to the
theater use. The City was open to proposals that considered the use of the current theater
facility on the eastern portion of the complex only, the unrenovated western portion of the
facility only, or for the overall complex. Proposers had the ability to submit proposals for the
use or development of the entire complex or only for one of the two portions of the complex.
Collaborations among theater, film, dance, and other performing and /or presenting cultural
organizations are encouraged.
The proposer would be responsible for any and all renovation or alteration to the portions of
the facility requested via this RFP, including funding for any renovation or alteration;
maintenance and equipment; marketing; coordination of utilization; and any and all other
responsibilities as may be required for the proposed use.
It was anticipated that the successful proposer would negotiate with the City for a long -term
contract with an initial term of five (5) years, with an option to renew for an additional five (5)
year term, at the City's sole discretion.
RFP PROCESS
On February 3, 2010, the Mayor and City Commission approved the issuance of Request for
proposals (RFP) No. 24- 09/10, for Management and /or Development of the Byron Carlyle
Theater Complex. RFP No. 24 -09/10 was issued on February 18, 2010, with an opening date
of April 19, 2010. A pre - proposal conference to provide information to the proposers submitting
a response was held on March 8, 2010. Additionally, four (4) site visits were offered to
potential proposers on March 8, 2010, March 23, 2010, March 30, 2010, and April 8, 2010.

Based on presentations made and the proposals submitted, the Evaluation Committee
unanimously recommended the Administration to initiate discussions with the two (2) top
ranked proposers: Broward Stage Door Theatre Co, Inc and New Theatre.
FINANCE AND CITYWIDE PROJECTS COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
This item was presented to the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee at their regular
meeting July 29, 2010. The Administration expressed concern with entering into a Tong -term
agreement (initial term of five (5) years, with an option to renew for an additional five (5) year
term) essentially rent free. The Scope of Services for this RFP sought proposals with cultural
themed uses for the facility.
The Committee discussed the item and unanimously recommended awarding the
management agreement to Broward Stage Door Theatre Company with benchmarks included.
Broward Stage Door Theatre Co, Inc.
Broward Stage Door Theatre Co, Inc ( "Stage Door Theatre ") is a non - profit 501(c)3 that was
formed in 1993. The Stage Door Theatre proposes to operate a professional theatre company
in the eastern portion of the Byron Carlyle Theater. The Stage Door Theatre proposes a high
quality state -of- the -art performing arts facility that will operate with the needs of the residents,
city businesses, tourism, and the general public in mind.
The performance schedule includes both matinees and evenings, keeping the facility operating
both weekdays and weekend. Programming at the theatre would include both musicals and
plays, with an awareness of family values and appropriate content for a municipal venue. The
Stage Door Theatre is best known for productions of large scale musicals, but has also
received critical acclaim for dramas as well.
Stage Door Theatre has managed its current location in Coral Springs for seventeen (17)
years. It successfully operated a second location in Wilton Manors for seven (7) years. The
Stage Door has a proven record of marketing prowess and has shown its ability to develop
and maintain a new and loyal audience base. The organization is familiar with the need to
generate revenue and create financial stability. Even though the Stage Door Theatre is a
501(c)3 nonprofit corporation, it does not rely on grants and it is fully funded by its revenues.
As a team, Derelle Wilson Bunn and David R. Torres, have produced over 200 shows. They
have also produced on the national tour level, and Off - Broadway.
The Stage Door Theatre's goal is to establish the Byron Carlyle as a facility that contributes to
the vibrancy and beauty of the area, while becoming a destination which will further the
economic growth and development of the surrounding community.
