FY 2017/18 WORKPLAN AND BUDGET

ANALYSIS
BACKGROUND
The Miami Beach Visitor and Convention Authority (MBVCA) was created and exists pursuant to Chapter 67 -930
of the Laws of Florida and Sections 102 -246 through, and including 102 -254 of the Code of the City of Miami Beach
(CMB).
According to Sec. 102 -251, the MBVCA is to take "all necessary and proper action to promote the tourist industry
for the city, including but not restricted to causing expert studies to be made, promotional programs, the
recommendations and development of tourist attractions and facilities within the city, and to carry out programs
of information, special events, convention sales and marketing, advertising designed to attract tourists, visitors
and other interested persons." The MBVCA also has the duty of making all necessary rules and regulations for the
efficient operations of the authority.
The MBVCA is a seven - member authority. Each member is appointed by the City of Miami Beach Commission,
with the goal of encouraging, developing and promoting the image of Miami Beach locally, nationally and
internationally as a vibrant community and tourist destination. To this end, the MBVCA strategically focuses its
funding investments in a balanced manner, fostering outstanding existing programs, stimulating new activities,
and encouraging partnerships. The MBVCA is committed to a careful, long -term plan for allocation of resources
to build the uniqueness of Miami Beach as one of the world's greatest communities and tourism destinations.
A budget revenue projection is provided to the MBVCA by the City of Miami Beach Budget Office annually based
on 5% of the 2% Resort Tax, less 4% for administrative allowance. On an annual basis the MBVCA must provide
the City with a budget, on City forms, based on this projection as outlined in Sec. 102 -252, before October 1st
The MBVCA normally budgets funding below the City's projection, as the collection of funds can differ substantially
from projection, such as the result of unanticipated problems like an airline strike, terrorism, economic issues or
storms. In 2008, revenue collections came in $48,000 under estimated projection, and in 2001 the revenue
collection was down approximately $300,000 from projection. When and if there are unallocated funds remaining
at the end of the budget year, those funds are either rolled over and allocated in the next budget year, or retained
in MBVCA accounts for future reserves, endowment funding, to address any funding reductions in future years;
in 2001, by statute, the MBVCA began investing into the creation on an endowment fund.
The MBVCA is required by law to maintain reserve bank accounts in approved public depositories, with sufficient
reserves to cover one year of funding, which it does. Reserves are maintained to pay grant recipients (contracted)
for the previous program funding cycle, and to ensure that sufficient funds can be invested to stimulate tourism
in the future. The level of reserves was modified in 2011 in order to maximize the value and impact of tourism
directed funds.
The MBVCA submits an annual Program of Work to the CMB as required by Sec. 102 -281.
FY 2016/2017 REVIEW /TOURISM ADVANCEMENT PROGRAM (TAP).
The MBVCA Tourism Advancement Program (TAP) was established to promote Miami Beach as a sophisticated
tourist destination by increasing the number of visitors; through enhancement of visitors' experiences; through
the allocation of funds granted to events or programs that bring visitors to the CMB and strengthen the CMB
brand. In fiscal year 2016/2017, the MBVCA funded the TAP in eight categories, including: Film Incentive,
Initiatives, Major One Time Special Event, North Beach Incentive, Special Events Recurring, Special Projects,
Special Projects Recurring, and Tourism Partnerships. In 2016, the MBVCA continued to fund projects, utilizing
1
EXHIBIT F
MBVCA FY 2017/2018 WORKPLAN AND BUDGET
funds rolled over from several years past.
A total of $1,493,000 was awarded in FY 2016/2017, compared to $1,807,357.50 in FY 2015/2016. The decrease
in awards reflects rescinded events, due to non - compliance or cancellation, repeat events that could not meet
the grant application criteria. Grants funded in partnership with the CMB are critical, branded tourism - related
programs, such as the South Beach Wine & Food Festival and UNTITLED. Art Fair Miami Beach, both examples of
events whose beginnings in Miami Beach stem from grants provided by the MBVCA; events which could easily be
recruited by other destinations.
FY 2017/2018 TOURISM ADVANCEMENT PROGRAM
The MBVCA strategically focuses funding to maximize tourism and brand, to improve Miami Beach by focusing on
events and projects that generate significant publicity, strengthen brand and increase tourism (generating critical
resort taxes for Miami Beach). The Board pays significant attention to marquee events.
Review process:
For over a decade, the MBVCA has used a multi -level review process for its grant program and the process is
reviewed annually. The process includes a mandatory pre- proposal staff conference regarding MBVCA policies
and procedures and TAP. During the interview, MBVCA administration advises each potential applicant regarding
the eligibility and appropriateness of the proposed project and determines the grant category best suited to the
potential applicant. Once it is determined that the project is eligible, the MBVCA administration provides further
detail, including required attachments and relevant meeting dates and deadlines. The applicant is provided with
an overview of the application submission process. All applications are submitted through the online Application
Portal in a multi -step format. All grant formats and policies are available on the MBVCA website. By Florida law,
all MBVCA meetings are advertised and open to the public; all records are public records.
Annually, the MBVCA Board reviews and refines grant guidelines with respect to efficacy and effectiveness. In FY
2012/2013, the MBVCA implemented changes to its funding caps and declining scale. The new declining scale and
funding caps allowed the MBVCA to diversify their funding into other areas and initiatives as requested by the City
administration and /or the Board. In FY 2016/2017 the MBVCA voted to maintain the criteria in place for the Major
One Time Special Event and Special Events Recurring grant categories requiring a total of 350 hotel room nights
to be contracted, along with the 1,000,000 contracted media impressions. The viewership criteria remained at
1,000,000. The grant criteria guidelines were further defined for clarity and accuracy, requiring fully executed
contracts to be submitted prior to proceeding with the next step in the application process. The application
requires contract confirmation for hotel room blocks; media contract agreements, and /or television /cable
contracts to be attached to the completed application. The data must be confirmed before and after funding is
awarded. Grant applicants must meet two of the three criteria in place for each of the MBVCA grant categories.
MBVCA grants are paid upon performance; therefore, grantees are required to provide post - performance reports
in the form of reservation or pick up reports from Miami Beach hotels; impressions reports garnered from the
organization's PR Firm, or from a media monitoring /press clipping service such as BurrellesLuce to prove media
impressions, and a broadcast post performance report from a third party reporting delivery of Adult 18+ and
Households (HH) in Thousands (000) from Nielsen, Over The Top (OTT), or Comscore /Rentrak for viewership. The
defined criteria and specific post - performance reporting structure will be continued in FY 2017/2018.
The MBVCA guidelines and application process place emphasis on defining and measuring the economic impact
of each event, as well as considering the impact and value of marketing, publicity, and television
origination /viewership. Questions concerning the economic Impact of the program, including requiring an
explanation of various aspects of the marketing plan, and how the numbers of hotel room nights are calculated
and where they are contracted, are also required as part of the application. The event's or organization's publicity
plan, community and residential involvement, and /or special residents' considerations must also be provided.
Standardized recap sheets and point systems have been developed to give each applicant a score that rates

potential success. In 2016/2017, a revamped point system was implemented to be more closely aligned with the
MBVCA's grant criteria and will continue to be utilized in FY 2017/2018. Using this tool, the MBVCA can better
evaluate the applicant's long -term commitment to the community; commitment to brand enhancement; value to
tourism, and economic impact. The MBVCA votes on each specific and individual grant, and evaluates the grant
request, funds available and possible extenuating circumstances after a formal presentation is made by the grant
applicant. A question and answer period follows with further discussion as needed.
RECURRING PROJECTS:
The MBVCA has a current policy in place to fund recurring projects on a declining scale. The declining scale
encourages recurring events to recruit corporate and private sponsorship and; therefore, not solely rely on
MBVCA funds as a means of sustaining the event year after year. The award category establishes funding caps for
recurring events, funding that can be reduced based on the maximum request for the specific grant category.
Below is the current scale, implemented in FY 2012/2013; applicable to non - and for profit agencies. The declining
scale will remain in place for FY 2017/2018.

and Tourism Partnerships. The MBVCA has developed pre- eligibility criteria for grants within these categories. The
criteria allow staff to determine eligibility and the appropriate grant category. Applicants must meet two of three
of the criteria noted. The Cultural Tourism and Film Incentive grant programs have been retired.

Budget
Budget (TAP) FY 2017/2018,
The MBVCA has budgeted $1,700,500 for FY 2017/2018 for its Tourism Advancement Program which reflects 60%
of the total budget. This grant funding reflects a decrease of $21,500 from FY 2016/2017. This decrease is due to
a reduction in the amount requested from repeat applicants due to the declining scale.

EXHIBIT F
MBVCA FY 2017/2018 WORKPLAN AND BUDGET
• The Tourism Partnerships category is budgeted at $120,000, reflecting 4% of the total budget for FY
2017/2018. The category currently includes applicants at the maximum request cap of $30,000. Four

Destination Marketing
The Destination Marketing allocation reflects a 5% of the total budget for FY 2017/2018. This allocation provides
for the additional placement of stories and press releases on the PR Newswire as well as the continuation of our
Blogger Program that will be implemented in FY 2017/2018.
New Initiatives
The MBVCA expects to support new initiatives in FY 2017/2018. Strategic plans, goals and initiatives are
developed through consultation, the result of ongoing communications with the Mayor, Commission and City
Administration. One of these initiatives include the Forbes Travel Guide Hospitality Training and the
implementation of the webinar based on the live training sessions; both offered free of charge to Miami Beach
hospitality employees.
Another initiative is the Visual Memoirs Project. In 2011/2012, the MBVCA issued an RFP for qualified entities to
record, catalogue and warehouse personal and eyewitness accounts of the history of the City of Miami Beach. The
deliverables included a recorded detailed history of Miami Beach through personal interviews, creating collateral
materials about the history of Miami Beach and identifying comprehensive exhibit concepts that can be
implemented to execute a comprehensive visual memoir library and promotional campaign.
The Miami Design Preservation League (MDPL) in partnership with Close -Up Productions, was awarded a one year
contract on October 1, 2011 in the amount of $21,000, and the contract was renewed in FY 2012/2013 for an
additional $21,000, which represented 1% of the total budget. A total of forty interviews were conducted during
the Project's first year.
The exhibit opened to the public daily for its initial run from mid - October through late November 2012, free of
charge from 10:OOam until 4:30pm and reopened during Art Deco Weekend 2013. The documentary played on a
4
EXHIBIT F
MBVCA FY 2017/2018 WORKPLAN AND BUDGET
loop in the lecture hall portion of the Art Deco Welcome Center. Seating was also placed near the screen and
accommodated approximately 25 people at a time with standing room in the back. A total of twenty interviews
were completed by September 2013.
An educational component was developed for FY 2012/2013 that included a video and guide for Miami Beach
Middle Schools.
In FY 2013/2014, the videos were prepared for archival as part of a statewide university consortium. MDPL also
collaborated with various institutions to create links to the online materials.
At the end of FY 2014/2015, MDPL and Close -Up Productions had conducted and transcribed a total of 75
interviews.
In FY 2015/2016 MDPL and Close -Up Productions conducted and transcribed an additional 15 interviews and
coordinated and presented the Visual Memoirs material at the MDPL Art Deco Museum. In addition to their
scheduled interviews, MDPL developed a digital promotional portal showcasing the video archive with links
highlighting other Miami Beach historical resources, housed at institutions in Miami Beach and Miami Dade
County. The "Windows on Miami Beach" portal generated local interest and support through school contests and
online displays created by students and joint curating displays by portal partners; offered daily and weekly
calendars of partners' events; developed social media linkages that drove people to the new website and its
resources; provided easier access to the interviews, educational videos and curricula produced by the Visual
Memoirs Project; increased patronization of museums and historic sites on Miami Beach, and promoted Miami
Beach as a tourist destination through historic and artistic connections.
In FY 2016/2017, the project developed a video on Barbara Baer Capitman, "Barbara's Crusade ", that premiered
during Art Deco 2017.1n addition, the project's website, miamibeachvisualmemoirs.com, was rebuilt for new and
readily expandable internet access. The Project's archive of FIU's Digital Archive continued to expand through full -
length interviews in an effort to stimulate interest in Miami Beach's history and historic venues. The social media
exposure was also increased attracting nearly 500 followers on their Facebook page. An additional 15 interviews
were scheduled with full transcripts, while completing an additional 25 transcripts from past interviews. The ON-
MiamiBeach.com Portal added a separate "Learning and Teaching" section that included links to current videos
and mini co- curations and videos about Miami Beach by the portal partners and students.
In 2017/2018, the project is expected to continue to enhance its community and visitor awareness of the Portal
through partner organizations' cross - promotional efforts and increased social media integration. A new set of
interviews are also expected to augment the existing database. A total of 97 interviews have been transcribed and
archived as of April 2017.
The Initiatives category is budgeted for FY 2017/2018 at $140,000, representing 5% of the total budget.
Public Relations Initiative
In FY 2013/2014, the MBVCA issued a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) for a P.R. agency of record
to enhance Miami Beach's image, after their initial Request for Proposals (RFP) issued in FY 2011/2012. The
MBVCA selected Hill & Knowlton /SAMCOR (H +K) to support the MBVCA efforts by continuing increasing brand
awareness through strategic media outreach to consumer and travel trades, major event recruitment, and
business and corporate communications programs. There is an allotment of $250,000, representing 9% of the
total budget, towards this effort.
The current contract with H +K runs through May 31, 2018 in FY 2017/2018. Objectives include increased public
relations or tourism related activities in CMB, recruitment of new events and meetings, and improvement of CMB
global reputation. CMB leaders have been active participants in planning and in oversight. H +K has an extensive
5

presence in the US and internationally. The agency's ability to network and leverage its global relationships is
crucial to the growth of the 'Miami Beach' brand.
H +K created and distributed a total of 15 press releases and pitches during their first year as agency of record,
garnering 3,416,581,560 media impressions and 12 press releases during their second year, generating
3,913,341,910 media impressions. In their third year, H +K generated 2,783,369,818 media impressions through
the issuance of 12 press releases and a Harris Poll Survey that was conducted to determine why people visit Miami
Beach.
During their fourth year, H +K developed and released a total of 12 press releases and 1 pitch, generating a total
of 1,492,734,059 media impressions, valued at $15,615,214.75. During its fifth, and most recent, year H +K wrote
and released 15 press releases, generating 1,272,729,422 media impressions, valued at $14,353,222.76. To date,
H +K has generated over 14 billion media impressions for the destination.
IT /API Development
The MBVCA wishes to provide visitors with timely and relevant information about the City of Miami Beach, its
public and private attractions, services, hotels, businesses, and events in order to enhance visitors' (and residents')
experiences. Visitors to Miami Beach - all visitors worldwide — are increasingly using technology to navigate cities
or make decisions about leisure experiences, dining, parking, entertainment and travel in general. Worldwide,
technology is king. Many visitors already use the free Miami Beach WI -Fi service, CMBWiFi, to access the
information they need at select public locations around town.
Miami Beach visitors and residents are using smartphones and tablets to communicate and acquire information
to make these kinds of decisions on- the -go. It is now critical for these visitors and residents to have access to
mobile applications (Apps) that can help them obtain the information they need to make a timely and informed
decisions. A new version of the App, Miami Beach Information (MBI), was released in fiscal year 2015/2016 for
both Android and iOS platforms. The latest version of MBI included new and exciting features for the end -user.
The newest features included a side -swipe feature; listing the information in an A -Z format; new categories were
added that included Shopping, Nightlife, Art & Culture, and Restaurants, and the creation of "My Miami Beach"
section where users can add events, photos, and itineraries as they navigate the App. In addition, the App features
a "Deals" section that has special promotional rates or offers developed by MBVCA grantees. This cross
promotional effort increases the number of downloads the App receives, while also assisting with the promotion
of MBVCA- funded events. The promotions in the "Deals" section were also posted to the various MBVCA social
media pages such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. The App has now been downloaded over 9,300 times
across both mobile platforms. Approximately half of all downloads come from European users seeking to learn
about Miami Beach. The first version of the App was released in FY 2013/2014.
The MBVCA's preliminary review of opportunities and needs was initiated in spring 2011 in consultation with area
experts, and subsequent to a public meeting sponsored by the MBVCA, as a situational analysis. The MBVCA
released an RFP in January 2012 and awarded a one year contract to Just Program LLC dba Solodev on May 22,
2012. The purpose of the RFP was to develop a Miami Beach- focused web -based digital content management
system (CMS) and modifiable database to support 3rd party mobile applications via an application programming
interface (API).
Currently, the API is fully functional with 250 different categories of businesses, each averaging 90 different
services and amenities. Web and App developers are able to use these attributes to create new and exciting
experiences for their end - users. A fully functional mobile App for the MBVCA API for both iPhone and Android
platforms is also available, free of charge.
We have allocated $30,000 or 1% of the overall budget in FY 2017/2018 towards IT development, to add additional
categories to expand the API database to include local non - business information that can be useful in App
6

development such as beach access roads, public restrooms, and lifeguard stands. A total of $10,000 has been
allotted to market and promote the API /App to App developers in FY 2017/2018, representing less than 1% of the
total budget.
Research and Development
The MBVCA will develop a strategic list of major events worldwide as the result of ongoing communications and
consulting with all partners. We expect to investigative some of these events with the goal of the development
of a new major event for the destination. The MBVCA has budgeted $5,000 of the total towards this effort.
Projected Cash Flow Reserve
The MBVCA has budgeted $2,000 of the total budget, for cash flow reserve in FY 2017/2018. The City of Miami
Beach allots resort tax payments to the MBVCA a month after its collection; therefore, as a fiscal responsibility,
the MBVCA has built in a $2,000 projected cash flow reserve to its budget to ensure that all grants awarded will
have the necessary funds to be reimbursed upon proper request and documentation.
Administration and Overhead
The MBVCA's administration and benefits costs are budgeted at $415,500 for the FY 2017/2018. This figure
represents 15% of the total budget'. The overhead allocation is budgeted at $215,000 which reflects 7% of the
overall budget. The increase from FY 2016/2017 is attributed to the cloud information hosting and redundancy,
the addition of office security measures and staffing a full office. The total administration and overhead is 22% of
the total budget.
Rollover
A total of $200,000 will be rolled over from FY 2016/2017 into the FY 2017/2018 MBVCA budget to fund special
projects. This rollover of funds is primarily from the grants that were either not awarded and /or were rescinded
for noncompliance.
CONCLUSION
At their July 18, 2017 meeting, the MBVCA Board recommended the Mayor and City Commission adopt the
MBVCA Budget for FY 2017/2018 in the amount of $2,908,000 as reflected in Exhibit A.

FROM: Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager
DATE: September 13, 2017
SUBJECT:A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, ADOPTING TENTATIVE BUDGETS FOR
THE GENERAL, G.O. DEBT SERVICE, RDA AD VALOREM TAXES,
ENTERPRISE, INTERNAL SERVICE, AND SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS
FOR FISCAL YEAR 2017/18, SUBJECT TO A SECOND PUBLIC HEARING
SCHEDULED ON MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2017 AT 5 :01 P.M
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the attached
Resolution which establishes tentative budgets for the General, G.O. Debt Service, RDA
Ad Valorem Taxes, Enterprise, Internal Service, and Special Revenue Funds for Fiscal
Year (FY) 2017/18.
PROCEDURE
As outlined in the companion General Operating Millage Agenda Item, Section 200.065,
Florida Statutes specifies the manner in which budgets are adopted. First, the tentative
millage rate for both the general operating and debt service is adopted, then
immediately thereafter, tentative budgets by fund are adopted. The attached Resolution
adopting tentative budgets for the General, G.O. Debt Service, RDA Ad Valorem Taxes,
Enterprise, Internal Service, and Special Revenue Funds for FY 2017/18 is therefore
presented to you at this time for adoption.
Additional details are contained in my Budget Message included in the FY 2017/18
Proposed Budget document, however, highlights of that document are outlined below.
GENERAL FUND CURRENT SERVICE LEVEL BUDGET DEVELOPMENT
As in past years, the Proposed Work Plan and Budget was developed through an
intensive review process with our City Commission. Preliminary budget information was
provided at the Commission Retreat on June 22nd and in meetings with the Finance and
Citywide Projects Committee (FCWPC) on June 16th, July 10th, and July 21st.
The General Fund is the primary source of funding for the majority of City services.
Revenues are derived from ad valorem property taxes, franchise and utility taxes,
business license and permit fees, revenue sharing from various statewide taxes, user
fees for services, fines, rents and concession fees and interest income. Additionally,
intergovernmental revenues from Miami -Dade County and Resort Taxes contribute
Page 1872 of 2353
Adopting Tentative Budgets for FY 2017/18
September 13, 2017
Page 2
funding for tourist - related activities provided by General Fund departments.
The first step in preparing the FY 2017/18 budget was an evaluation of Current Service
Level (CSL) revenues and expenditures. CSL revenues represent the amount of
revenues that would be generated based on existing tax rate, fees and charges. CSL
expenditures represent the expenditures associated with providing the same level of
service next year as in the current budget year.
At the June 16, 2017 FCWPC meeting, the Committee directed staff to transfer the
0.0132 mill reduction from the debt service millage rate to the operating millage rate,
resulting in a zero mill increase in the overall combined millage rate.
Property tax revenues comprise 53% of the total General Fund revenue and are a key
driver of CSL revenues. The Property Appraiser provided the preliminary 2017 property
values on June 1, 2017. At the Budget Retreat on June 22, 2017, the Commission was
briefed regarding the preliminary General Fund Current Service Level (CSL) budget.
The Commission was briefed regarding the updated CSL budget at the July 10, 2017
Finance & Citywide Projects Committee. The preliminary 2017 property values
increased 7.78%, which resulted in an increase of $14.7 million in General Fund
property tax revenues.
CSL revenues were estimated to increase $15.5 million due to a $14.7 million increase
in property tax revenues (assuming an operating millage rate increase of 0.0132 to offset
the debt service millage rate reduction of 0.0132), and a $0.772 million increase in non -
property tax revenues.
CSL expenditures were estimated to increase $11.9 million due to the following
personnel expenditures, the majority of which are contractually required:
• 2 percent merit pay for all groups except Police and Fire : $2.2 million
• 5 percent Step for Police and Fire: $2.9 million
• 3 percent Cost of Living Adjustment effective, July 2018: $1 million
• Increase in Citywide Health and Life Insurance: $2.56 million
• Increase in Annual Required Contribution for Fire & Police Pension: $1.9 million
• Increase in Annual Required Contribution for Non - Police & Fire Pension: $2.2
million
In addition, the CSL budget includes:
• Increase in Debt Service payments: $700,000
• $3 million decrease in funds set aside for pension mortality impact
• Increase in operating expenditures: $875,000, which includes $343,000 in
expenditures related to the insourcing of the North Shore Tennis Center;
$133,000 related to the increased cost of shelter beds for the homeless; and
$110,000 for the maintenance and repair of City sidewalks and light poles.

Adopting Tentative Budgets for FY 2017/18
September 13, 2017
Page 3
The preliminary CSL based on July 1S1 property values had a revenue increase of $15.5
million and an expenditure increase of $11.9 million for a net projected surplus of $3.6
million.
The Committee directed that the following Education Initiatives totaling $324,000
continue to be included in the CSL budget:
• Anti- Defamation League - $4,000
• Common Threads - $19,000
• FIU Dual Enrollment - $62,000
• Miami Dade County Dual Enrollment - $28,000
• Nurse Enhancement Initiative - $16,000
• Nurse Initiative- Behavioral Health - $54,000
• VPK Year 3 - $141,000
The $324,000 in additions above resulted in an updated net projected surplus of $3.26
million.
APPROACHES TO BALANCE
At the July 21, 2017 FCWPC meeting, direction was given regarding the FY 2017/18
proposed revenues, millage rate, enhancements and reductions for the Operating
Budget, and changes to the Capital Budget.
Revenues
In an effort to move toward reducing the General Fund's reliance on the Parking subsidy,
the Committee recommended reducing the Parking transfer into the General Fund by $2
million, for a FY 2017/18 transfer to the General Fund of $4.4 million.
In order to offset the estimated increased administrative fees transfer from the Resort
Tax Fund to the General Fund, the Committee also recommended reducing the Resort
Tax contribution to the General Fund by $2,865,000. The actual calculated
administrative fee increase is $2,733,000, and as a result, the FY 2017/18 budget
reflects this adjustment.
Subsequent to the July 21, 2017 FCWPC meeting, the projected FY 2017/18 revenues
were further refined, using more current FY 2016/17 revenue data. This resulted in a
$2,734,000 increase in projected FY 2017/18 revenues, primarily due to a $1,314,000
million increase in projected building permit revenues, and a $1,750,000 increase in
calculated administrative fees to the General Fund from Enterprise and Special Revenue
Funds (the preliminary estimate presented at the July 21, 2017 FCWPC meeting was
$1,457,000).

Expenditures
At the July 21, 2017 FCWPC meeting, the Committee accepted the recommended
reductions presented by the Administration, which total $2,236,000 in savings. It also
accepted the $486,000 in recommended enhancements presented by the
Administration.
In addition to the recommended line items above, the Committee recommended the
following service enhancements listed below to be added to the FY 2017/18 budget:
• Add $68,000 for a Legal Secretary position in the City Attorney's Office to
support the City Prosecutor position being recommended

• Add funding to support Community Outreach related to the proposed 2018
General Obligation Bond program
The Committee concluded with a recommendation that $1,355,000 in surplus dollars be
set aside toward the potential revenue reduction related to the 2018 General Election
vote to expand Homestead Exemptions. This amount has been included in the FY
2017/18 CSL.
At the July 26, 2017 Commission Meeting, the Commission directed that the following
adjustments be made to the FY 2017/18 budget:
• Adjust the Education Compact Fund's budget to reflect 9 months of pro -rated
revenues from parking garage advertising contract, and transferring $195,000 in
expenditures from the General Fund to the Education Compact Fund (included in
CSL budget)
• Add $200,000 to subsidize a 40% discount to City employees for a healthy
alternative lunch option; this item was added to the proposed enhancement list.
Based on recent needs identified over the summer, the following items are additional
staff - recommended increases to the FY 2017/18 CSL budget:
• Add $779,000 to the General Fund budget for health insurance expenditures to
provide a conservative estimate of potential premiums and claims, considering
the changes to the City's plans being newly implemented in FY 2017/18.
• Subsequent to the July 21, 2017 FCWPC meeting, the projected FY 2017/18
expenditures were further refined, primarily to finalize the FY 2017/18 internal
service allocations. These refinements resulted in an overall decrease in the
budget by $603,000.
• Add $125,000 for miscellaneous changes including such as reducing the
previously proposed security guard service reduction to match the revised level
of service and the conversion of a Police Officer position to a Lieutenant position

Reductions
City departments continue to be proactive in identifying additional reductions to their
current service level programs and services. As with the preparation of budgets for the
last eight years, departments are continuing to analyze their budget from two
perspectives: 1) reviewing for potential efficiencies, reorganizations to reduce cost, etc.,
without adversely impacting services; and 2) performing a modified zero -based analysis
of each department budget, identifying potential service reduction alternatives versus
core functions. As part of the FY 2017/18 budget process, departments submitted lists
of potential reductions totaling 5 percent of their FY 2016/17 budgets. The lists were
reviewed extensively by the City Manager, Executive Team, Department Directors, and
the Budget Office. Across all funds a total of $3,037,000 of reductions are
recommended by staff. Of this amount, $2,236,000 impacts the General Fund. The
recommended reductions include 13 full -time positions and 1 part -time position. A
detailed list of the proposed reductions can be found in Attachment A.
Service Enhancements
The proposed enhancements found in Attachment B reflect services that our residents
and businesses identified as important to them during the 2016 Community Satisfaction
Survey or priorities identified at the three Budget Work Shops and City Commission
retreat.
Highlights of the $3.0 million of enhancements funded across all funds to address
community priorities include:

Increased Use of Resort Taxes to offset Tourism Eligible Expenditures in the
General Fund
Based on an outside consultant study conducted in 2016 using actual expenses for FY
2013/14, the study estimated that there are approximately $55 million in eligible Resort.
Tax expenditures in the General Fund.
These include expenditures associated with police officers serving entertainment areas;
a portion of fire rescue services from Fire Stations 1 & 2; ocean rescue services;
enhanced code compliance provided to respond to evening entertainment area
violations and staffing of special events; other code compliance activities in tourism and
visitor related facilities /areas; Tourism and Culture Department and the Cultural Arts
Council; museums and theaters (Garden Center, Bass Museum, and Colony
Theater); golf courses (net of revenues); Memorial Day and other special event costs;
homeless services; July 4th; Visitor Center funding; holiday lights; Jewish Museum;

BUDGET AND POSITION TRENDS
The 2017 Environmental Scan conducted as part of the strategic planning process
showed that the average daily population in the city has grown 27.2 percent from 2007
to 2016. Much of this increase consists of additional other tourists (77 percent),
seasonal residents (53 percent), hotel guests (40 percent) and non- tourist beach visitors
(40 percent). Having over 27 percent more people in the city over the last ten years, .
without an offsetting increase in budget can result in services becoming degraded over
time. The chart below shows the General Fund budget and General Obligation Bond
Debt Service budget divided by the average daily population from FY 2007 to FY 2016.
The chart shows that the average daily population has grown faster than the budget and
that the FY 2016 amount is 1.4 percent below the FY 2007 amount.

PROPOSED FY 2017/18 ENTERPRISE FUND BUDGETS
201"//16 2010 /17
Enterprise Funds are comprised of Sanitation, Water and Sewer, Storm Water, Parking,
and Convention Center Departments. The FY 2017/18 Enterprise Funds Budget is
$208.9 million. This represents a decrease of $465,000, or 0.22 %, from the FY 2016/17
budget of $209.4 million, primarily due to the following:
• Water reflects an overall increase of $3.9 million, or 11%, primarily due to Miami -
Dade County's pass through rate increase from $1.7341 to $1.8341 per thousand
gallons (5.76 percent), as well as a $2.6 million increase in debt service
expenditures for ongoing infrastructure projects allocated to water utilities
improvements.
• Sewer reflects an overall decrease $4.5 million, or 8 %, primarily due to a $2.9
million decrease in debt service expenditures for ongoing infrastructure projects
allocated to sewer improvements and a $4.8 million decrease for the usage of
wastewater services from Miami -Dade County despite a projected increase in
rates of 4.95% for FY2017/18. The decrease is primarily attributed to a credit of
$3.5 million due to the City from the County for the FY2016/17 wastewater
services true -up and continued efforts to prevent dewatering.
• Parking reflects a $2.1 million decrease due to the adverse effects of alternative
transportation resulting in Less demand for parking citywide. This decrease has
resulted in a reduction of funding being set -aside for future renewal and
replacement of capital assets, as well as funding set -aside for future capital
projects including garages.
Page 1881 of 2353
Adopting Tentative Budgets for FY 2017/18
September 13, 2017
Page 11
• Storm Water reflects an overall decrease of $7,000, or 0.02 %, despite an
increase of $807,000 for the rental of an additional 16 generators to be deployed
across all storm water pump stations citywide. Outstanding storm water debt of
$421,000 and one -time capital expenditures budgeted in FY2016/17 offset the
increase for the additional generators.
• Sanitation reflects an overall increase of $568,000, or 3 %, due to personnel and
internal service expenditures, which were partially offset by decreases in
operating expenditures for solid waste services, as well as expenditures
transferred to other departments.
• Convention Center reflects an overall increase of $1.6 million, or 15 %, due to an
increase of $753,000 for utilities resulting from ongoing construction, as well as
$1.1 million in contract maintenance for the up -keep of the newly renovated and
expanded facility.
PROPOSED FY 2017/18 INTERNAL SERVICE FUND BUDGETS
Internal Service Funds are comprised of the Central Services, Fleet Management,
Information Technology, Risk Management, Medical & Dental and Property

or 2.5 %, more than FY 2016/17. Internal Service costs are completely allocated to the
General Fund and Enterprise Fund departments, as well as Special Revenue Funds.
The Risk Management Fund, however, reimburses the General Fund for the cost of legal
services.
PROPOSED FY 2017/8 RESORT TAX FUND BUDGET
The FY 2017/18 Resort Tax budget is $83.3 million, which is a decrease of $3.5 million
or 4 percent from FY 2016/17. This decrease reflects the continued effect of a series of
recent stresses that have adversely impacted tourism across the City.
• $34.9 million (a decrease of $2.73 million) provided to the General Fund to
support continuing tourism eligible expenditures such as Code enforcement,
cleanliness, the Park Ranger program, homelessness at Lummus Park,

facilities, public safety programs such as ocean rescue, police services on
Lincoln Road, Ocean Drive /Lummus Park, Collins Avenue, Washington Avenue,

Mount Sinai Medical Center to fund the design and construction of a new
Emergency Room facility.
• $6.5 million contribution to the Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau

high - impact periods.
• The 2% Resort Tax Fund reserve as of September 30, 2016 totaled $13.75
million, which comprises three months of reserve.
• The City has $10 million of Resort Tax dollars currently set aside for
Transportation projects, which also provide further reserve funds for emergency
purposes.
CONCLUSION
In summary, the proposed millage rate of 5.8888 mills remains the same as last year
and is the lowest millage rate in the history of the City of Miami Beach. The FY 2017/18
Budget includes service level enhancements that address high priority needs of the City
as identified through three Commission budget workshops, the Commission Budget
Retreat, the strategic planning process, and the 2016 Community survey.

Reduction of Citywide Dune Restoration
General
$ 11,000
The reduction in available funding toward these efforts will result
