Adopt the Resolutions.
BACKGROUND
The Miami Beach Cultural Arts Council was created by the Miami Beach City Commission on
March 5, 1997, and nine members were appointed in August, 1997. The mission of the Council
is to "develop, coordinate and promote the performing and visual arts in the City of Miami Beach
for the enjoyment, education, cultural enrichment and benefit of the residents of, and visitors to,
Miami Beach". On June 3, 1998 a Master Plan was adopted by the City Commission. An
implementation Budget for 1998/99 was contained within the Master Plan.
As directed by the City Commission, that budget was modified to include a set aside for the
creation of a permanent endowment ("Exhibit A"). In addition, a Cultural Grants Program was
outlined to maintain baseline funding support to Miami Beach's Cultural Groups. Through 'a'
cooperative agreement with the Miami Beach Visitors and Convention Authority (YCA), a
$500,000 fund was established to continue cultural funding as previously administered by the
YCA.
THE PROCESS
During the past year, the Council met with all of the arts groups that are based within the City
of Miami Beach. A clear picture of specific needs emerged from this industry input. Guidelines
and application forms ("Exhibit B If) were created based on information gathered. These
procedures were then approved by the Council to provide funding for the arts in four categories:
Agenda Item~
Date
LD-i-98
1. Established Organizations (annual budgets over $500,000)
., Emerging Organizations Category 1 (annual budgets under $100,000)
3. Emerging Organizations Category 2 (annual budgets over $100,000)
4. Special Project Support
These guidelines were presented to members of the arts community in an orientation workshop
on July 24, 1998. The guidelines were made available in paper form as well as on-line through
the City web page. Between July 29 and August 21 pre-application consultations were conducted
by staff with representatives from sixty (60) cultural organizations ("Exhibit C"). Fifty (50)
applications were received by the 4:00pm deadline on August 21. Requests for funds totalled $1.7
million, 340% more than the available funds.
The Council appointed four Grant Review Panels of seven volunteer members, each composed
of three Council members and four community representatives. On September 9, these
applications were distributed to the Grant Review panelists in an orientation meeting. During the
week of September 14, the Grant Review Panels were convened in public meetings to deliberate
and recommend funding awards ("Exhibit D"). The Council convened on September 18 to
review the Panels' work and unanimously recomended grants totalling $495,500. (The applicant
requests and grant award recommendations are contained in "Exhibit E".) An emergency grant
contingency of $4,500 in additional funds (available from the Cultural Grant program) has been
set aside for the 1998-1999 fiscal year.
In addition to the $500,000 Cultural Grants Program, the Council also heeded the
recommendations of the arts community by proposing to create cooperative marketing materials.
As a result, a $200,000 marketing component was added to the budget. This marks the first time
that arts groups within the City will jointly market our City's richly diverse cultural venues to
residents and visitors.
At the City Commission's direction, the preliminary Master Plan (adopted June 3, 1998) was
amended to include the establishment of a permanent arts endowment. The 98/99 endowment
set aside is $200,000. A NEA matching grant program ($50,000) and the administrative costs for
staff and overhead ($100,000) complete the $1,050,000 of available funds for the fiscal year
1998/99.
CONeI,lJSION
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission adopt the resolutions
approving the City of Miami Beach Cultural Arts Council 1998/99 budget allocations of
$1,050,000 and approving the Council's recommended Grants Awards totalling $500,000 for
1998/99.
