COMMISSION ITEM SUMMARY
Condensed Title:
FA resolution opposing house bill 1199 and House Joint Resolution 7247.
Key Intended Outcome Supported:
Ensure expenditure trends are sustainable over the long term; and Enhance external/internal
communications from and within the City.
Issue:
Shall the City oppose efforts in the Legislature that would eliminate local cable franchises and a
proposal to limit local government expenditure growth?
Item Summa /Recommendation:
The Florida House of Representatives is considering a bill (HB 1199), which proposes to eliminate local
government cable franchising. The bill is designed to allow the phone companies to obtain state
certificates of service without any negotiation or approval by local communities.Further,the bill would allow
existing franchisees to terminate franchises once a competitor has obtained a franchise and/or state
certificate.
On Friday, March 31, the House Finance and Tax Committee filed a Committee Bill (HJR 7247), which
proposes the creation of Section 19 to Article VII of the State Constitution to limit the expenditures of
counties and municipalities b y g eneral law. If a pp roved by the voters the Legislature would have the ability
to set a limitation for annual expenditure growth,which growth must equal or exceed the growth in Florida
personal income.As drafted, the bill provides that the limitation may be waived if:
1. The Governor declares an emergency;
2. The electors of the county or municipality approve the additional expenditures by referendum;
or
3. The additional expenditures are approved by a supermajority vote of the governing body of
the county or municipality.
Given the negative consequences of the legislation described above,the Administration recommends
that the Mayor and City Commission approve the attached resolution, for transmittal to the City's
elected officials, contract lobbyists, and the Florida League of Cities.

COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor David Dermer and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Jorge M. Gonzalez, City Manager f;o�
DATE: April 11, 2006
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI BEACH, FL, OPPOSING HOUSE BILL 1199 AND THE PROPOSED
ELIMINATION OF LOCAL CABLE FRANCHISES; FURTHER OPPOSING
HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION 7247 PROPOSING AMENDMENTS TO THE
STATE CONSTITUTION TO LIMIT THE EXPENDITURES OF COUNTIES AND
MUNICIPALITIES.
Administration Recommendation
Approve the Resolution.
Background
House Bill 1199
The Florida House of Representatives is considering a bill (HB 1199), which proposes to
eliminate local government cable franchising. The bill is designed to allow the phone
companies to obtain state certificates of service without any negotiation or approval by local
communities. Further,the bill would allow existing franchisees to terminate franchises once
a competitor has obtained a franchise and/or state certificate.
Some of the benefits and services that are currently provided through the franchising
process include education and government access channels, equipment, capital grants,
customer service, and system upgrades. Many, if not all of these benefits are at risk under
the proposed legislation.
At this point, there is not a companion bill in the Senate, and Senate President Tom Lee
stated in the Lakeland Ledger that "while I recognize that there needs to be a change
because you now have competing technologies for cable customers, it may take us a little
while to get our hands around how to do that. As these technologies blend together, you
want to have a competitively level playing field, but how to create that overnight is a pretty
complex puzzle to solve."
In addition to opposition by the Florida League of Cities and the Florida Association of
Counties, the cable industry also opposes the bill. These entities are requesting that the
Legislature step back and spend some time investigating the issue and allowing the various
stakeholders time to negotiate a compromise, similar to the process used to reform the
communication tax a few years ago.

House Joint Resolution 7247
On Friday, March 31, the House Finance and Tax Committee filed a Committee Bill (HJR
7247), which proposes the creation of Section 19 to Article VII of the State Constitution to
limit the expenditures of counties and municipalities by general law. If approved by the
voters, the Legislature would have the ability to set a limitation for annual expenditure
growth, which growth must equal or exceed the growth in Florida personal income. As
drafted, the bill provides that the limitation may be waived if:
1. The Governor declares an emergency;
2. The electors of the county or municipality approve the additional expenditures by
referendum; or
3. The additional expenditures are approved by a supermajority vote of the
governing body of the county or municipality.
Many Florida communities,especially those such as Miami Beach which attract a significant
number of visitors, experience service level demands that far exceed the demands of
communities that do not have tourism, and changes to this demand for service does not
correspond to growth in Florida personal income. If passed and approved by the voters,the
proposal could have a significant impact on the ability of the City of Miami Beach to provide
service to our residents and visitors.
Conclusion
Given the negative consequences of the legislation described above, the Administration
recommends that the Mayor and City Commission approve the attached resolution, for
transmittal to the City's elected officials,contract lobbyists,and the Florida League of Cities.
