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 2 EXHIBIT F MBVCA FY 2017/2018 WORKPLAN AND BUDGET 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. Year 1 Initial Grant Award Yearn No more than 80% of Eligible Request Year 3 No more than 70% of Eligible Request Year 4 No more than 60% of Eligible Request Year 5 New Cycle Begins CATEGORIES: Tourism Advancement Program funds are currently awarded in seven categories, including: Initiatives, Major One Time Special Event, North Beach Incentive, Special Events Recurring, Special Projects, Special Projects Recurring, 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.

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 EXHIBIT F MBVCA FY 2017/2018 WORKPLAN AND BUDGET 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 EXHIBIT F MBVCA FY 2017/2018 WORKPLAN AND BUDGET 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. 1 This is below the non - profit industry standard of 20% (Source: BBB) 7 EXHIBIT F MIAMI BEACH VISITOR AND CONVENTION AUTHORITY FY 2017/2018 ADOPTED BUDGET FY 2016.2017 PROPOSED FY 2017.2018 REVENUES Unrestricted Rollover $ 425,000 $ 200,000 Projected Resort Tax $ 2,676,000 $ 2,708,000 TOTAL REVENUES $ 3,101,000 $ 2,908,000 EXPENDITURES Administration & Benefits $ 365,000 $ 415,500 Operating Expenses $ 210,000 $ 215,000 Capital $ 5,000 $ 5,000 Total Administration $ 580,000 $ 635,500 GRANTS - Tourism Advancement Program Tourism Partnerships $ 120,000 $ 120,000 Major One Time Special Event $ 180,000 $ 180,000 Special Events Recurring $ 720,000 $ 896,000 Special Projects $ 180,000 $ 180,000 Special Projects Recurring $ 442,000 $ 314,500 Film Incentive $ 60,000 $ - North Beach Incentive $ 20,000 $ 10,000 Total Tourism Adv.

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. Page 1873 of 2353 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). Page 1874 of 2353 Adopting Tentative Budgets for FY 2017/18 September 13, 2017 Page 4 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 $72,000 for two part -time Park Ranger positions in North Shore Park and Youth Center • Add $100,000 for the Miami Design Preservation League Art Deco Weekend • Add $250,000 for the University of Miami Wellness /PrEP Clinic on Miami Beach • 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 Page 1875 of 2353 Adopting Tentative Budgets for FY 2017/18 September 13, 2017 Page 5 Based on recent needs identified over the summer, the following items are additional staff - recommended FY 2017/18 enhancements: • Additional funding for Beach Maintenance: $129,000 for enhanced maintenance for boardwalks and sand dunes; and $201,000 for a second unit to address maintenance associated with planned installations of sand interceptors at beach showers • Increase of $309,000 ($140,000 one -time) to a new total of $609,000 for enhanced holiday decorations throughout the City's tourism areas • Add $79,000 for a Strategic Planning position in the City Manager's Office to provide crucial support for the planned update of the City's Strategic Plan • Add $67,000 for an Agenda Coordinator position in the City Clerk's Office to provide enhanced support to the City's four Commission Committees • Add $12,000 for a part -time Media Assistant position in the Communication department in order to televise Special Master Hearings Preliminary CSL Surplus (based on July 21 FCWPC Meeting) 3,264,000 Revenue Adjustments Reduction in Parking Subsidy to the General Fund Reduction in Resort Tax Transfer to the General Fund Adjusted FY 2017/18 Revenue Projections Expenditure Adjustments Recommended CSL Increases Recommended Enhancements Recommended Efficiencies (2,000,000) (2,733,000) 2,734,000 (1,462 000) (1,864,000) 2,236,000 Unallocated Surplus 175,000 The updated combined FY 2017/18 proposed General Fund budget of $330,601,000 includes $330,973,000 in CSL expenditures (a 4.3% increase), offset by proposed reductions totaling $2,236,000 and proposed enhancements totaling $1,864,000. The FY 2017/18 revenues are based on the certified July 1st property values and projected increases in non -ad valorem revenues, totaling $330,776,000, for a net surplus of approximately $175,000. The Administration recommends allocating this to the General Fund Reserves.

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.

Page 1879 of 2353 Adopting Tentative Budgets for FY 2017/18 September 13, 2017 Page 9 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. General Fund and G.O.

The overall position count in FY 2017/18 is 2 positions less than last year and 31 positions or 1.5 %, more than in FY 2006/07.

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 Management Divisions. The FY 2017/18 Internal Service Fund budget is $86.1 million, 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, increased support for the Miami Beach Botanical Gardens and the City's cultural facilities, public safety programs such as ocean rescue, police services on Lincoln Road, Ocean Drive /Lummus Park, Collins Avenue, Washington Avenue, ATV officers, Boardwalk security, special traffic enforcement and staffing during high impact periods. Funding also supports code compliance enforcement in the entertainment areas and a portion of the operational costs of the Department of Tourism, Culture and Economic Development. • $2.7 million for enhancing City services, inclusive of Goodwill Ambassadors, during High Impact periods such as Memorial Day, July 4th, Spring Break, and Art Basel. • $2.7 million contribution to the Miami Beach Visitor and Convention Authority (VCA) based on the legislated funding formula.

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.
