Funding from these sources will be utilized as follows: Resort Tax - $47,105,327 This fund accounts for the collection of the special tax levied citywide on food, beverage and room rents used to support tourism related activities. This function, which operates under the direction of the Finance Department and the Office of Internal Audit, is responsible for ensuring that hotels, restaurants, bars and other establishments which serve food and beverages for consumption on its premises, comply with Section 5.03 of the City Charter, as amended, as it related to the reporting, and collection of resort taxes to the City. An allocation for "operations" provides for all collection and audit expenses associated with administering the Resort Tax function and are charged directly to this Special Revenue Fund. Included in this allocation is funding for seven (7) FTE positions and associated operating support totaling approximately $1,229,926. City Commission Memorandum Resolution Adopting FY 2011/12 Special Revenue Budgets September 27 2011 Page 2 The allocation to the General Fund for Fiscal Year 2011/12 of approximately $26.4 million pays for tourist related services and costs provided or managed by General Fund Departments. Based on an outside consultant study conducted in 2010 using FY 2007/08 actual costs, it is estimated that there are approximately $41.7 million in eligible resort tax expenditures in the General Fund, net of South Pointe costs. This funding supports public safety programs including our ocean rescue, police services on Lincoln Road, Ocean Drive /Lummus Park, Collins Avenue, Washington Avenue, ATV officers, Boardwalk security, special traffic enforcement and special event staffing; and fire rescue units in tourist and visitor areas as well as special event support services. The funding also supports code compliance services to respond to evening entertainment areas and for special events; provides for a portion of the operational costs of the Tourism and Cultural Development Department; and provides a contribution to the Cultural Arts Council beyond their annual interest allocation from the investment of City funds. In addition, the Fiscal Year 2011/12 budget includes $2.1 million for special events and other eligible expenses, previously funded from the General Fund.

These bonds were used for the development, improvement and construction of certain public areas including a portion of the Cultural Center facilities located within the City Center District. The 1 percent budget also reflects the approved allocation method for the Quality of Life funding, which includes the 25 percent for the arts, and to fund Quality of Life capital projects in North Beach (25 percent), Middle Beach (25 percent), and South Beach (25 percent), as well as various art and cultural programs or the maintenance and enhancement of Miami Beach's tourist related areas.
