SUBJECT: A RESOLU ON OF THE MAYOR AND THE CITY COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR
AND CITY CLERK TO EXECUTE THE MANAGEMENT SERVICES
AGREEMENT FOR THE MIAMI BEACH CONVENTION CENTER AND

BETWEEN THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH AND SMG, SAID AGREEMENT
COMMENCING ON OCTOBER 1, 1998, AND ENDING ON SEPTEMBER 30,
2001, WITH TWO ONE-YEAR RENEWABLE OPTIONS,
ADMINISTRA TION RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt the Resolution.
BACKGROUND:
On December 19, 1990, the City of Miami Beach entered into a Management Services Agreement
with Spectacor Management Group (SMG) for the management of the Miami Beach Convention
Center (lV1BCC) and the Jackie Gleason Theater of the Performing Arts (TOPA). The Agreement
was for an initial term of three-years, commencing on January 1,1990, and ending December 31,
1993. On June 30, 1993, the City exercised its option to extend the Agreement for two successive
one-year terms covering the period ofJanuary 1, 1994, through December 31, 1995. On April 19,
1995, the City Commission approved the waiver of formal bidding procedures for the Management
Contract, thus extending the Management Services Agreement with SMG, and approving a new
Agreement for the period of October 1, 1995, through September 30, 1998.
On December 5, 1997, the City of Miami Beach issued Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 5-97/02,
seeking proposals from qualified firms for the management and operation of lV1BCC and/or TOP A.
On April 1, 1998, the City Commission adopted a Resolution for the Administration to enter into
negotiations for a Management Services Agreement with the recommended firm of SMG pursuant
to the recommendation of the City Manager and the Evaluation Committee.
AGENDAITEM K-J])
DATE ,- \ 5-9g'

ANALYSIS:
The following are highlights of the new Management Services Agreement:
1. The Agreement period is for October 1, 1998 through September 30, 2001, with two
one-year renewable options.
2. The Agreement includes a termination for cause in the event that SMG fails to
perform or comply with any of its covenants, terms and provisions. If failure
continues forty-five days after written notice to SMG from the City, the City may
immediately or at any time thereafter, and without further demand or notice,
terminate the Agreement.
3. The City has the right to terminate the Agreement for any reason, at any time, after
October 1,2001 upon a six-month prior written notice to SMG.
4. SMG shall be paid a base management fee of $251,661.96. This fee will be adjusted
upward by a percentage change in the South Florida Consumer Price Index. The
adjustment will not be greater than five percent in anyone year. Additionally, SMG
will be entitled to a annual incentive fee of up to $251,661 with respect to each fiscal
year during the term of this Agreement, in a escalating amount equal to the
management fee. The incentive fee clause is similar to the one in the existing
contract and is earned through the following three separate categories:
. Monitoring of the Service America Contract for food services at the facilities.
The City shall award SMG up to twenty-five percentage points for the
performance in the administration and oversight of the food and beverage
concession contract with Service America Corporation. The twenty-five
points will be awarded as follows:
Improvements in client evaluation results
Per capita sales increase at Convention Center
Per capita of sales increase at Gleason Theater
7 points
11 points
7 points
. Maintenance of facilities and equipment. The City shall award SMG up to
forty-five percentage points for meeting or exceeding the maintenance goals
set forth in the approved and adopted maintenance and operation manual for
the facilities, including the comprehensive preventive maintenance program.
Such evaluation shall take into account the quarterly review of the Property
Management Department, and a yearly review by an outside independent
party, such as the Miami-Dade County General Services Administration
Property Management Division. Additionally, on a monthly basis, a
maintenance report will be submitted to the CCAB for their review.
. Deficit reduction for both facilities. The City shall award SMG up to thirty
percentage points based on the reduction of the combined facilities; operating
deficit defined as total facilities revenues less total operating expenses.
2
Detenrunation of performance shall be compared to the preceding three-year
average. The incentive received will not exceed the deficit reduction
realized.
The current Agreement, terminating on September 30, 1998, incentive fees are based on the
following:
1. Actual revenues compared to budgeted revenues up to 60 percentage
points.
2. Maintenance of facilities and equipment up to 30 percentage points.
3. Community involvement up to 10 percentage points.
As a separate item, SMG has proposed to make a grant of $100,000 to the City. This sum shall be
payable by October 15, 1998. The CCAB recommended for the grant to be utilized for
programming in the facilities. The CCAB will present a proposal for the programming of these
funds. SMG agreed to grant an additional $33,000 for each of the two renewal years upon renewal,
therefore totaling $166,000 for the entire five-year Agreement, if awarded.
The CCAB assisted the Administration with recommendations during the negotiation period. On
June 10, 1998, the CCAB unanimously approved the proposed contract.
On June 17, 1998, the City Commission requested the Administration to further detail the
method/criteria by which the incentives for monitoring the Service America contract and the
incentive for deficit reduction would be awarded. The Administration has revised the contract to
include the requested criteria.
CONCLUSION:
The City Administration recommends that the City Commission approve the Resolution.

Subject: SMG CONTRACT
This is in response to your request for a memorandum from me due to the outcome of the telephone
conversation between you and First Assistant City Attorney Raul Aguila, on Thursday, August 20,
1998. On page 22, (2), of the SMG Contract, the "twenty-five percent" is a typographical error.
The correct amount is "thirty-percent."
The percentage change to thirty from twenty-five, that is initialed on page 22 (2), is the correct
amount.
Thank you.

MIAMI BEACH CONVENTION CENTER
MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA
BOOKING POLICIES
I. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE:
The Miami Beach Convention Center (the "MBCC" or the "Center") is a national and
international convention, tradeshow, and multi-purpose facility owned by the City of
Miami Beach and operated by SMG. The facility was enlarged and remodeled with
Convention Development Tax proceeds with the primary objective of promoting and
facilitating events and activities which have a significant impact in terms of Convention
Development Tax generated.
--
In addition, the facility was developed with a secondary objective of providing services
and facilities to respond to the needs of county and local activities which promote
business and generally enhance the quality of life for the community the facility serves.
Reservations more than twenty-four (24) months before the event are normally handled
through the Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau (the "Bureau"), subject to
approval of the MBCC, and are subject to the guidelines of II (a) below.
When booking the MBCC, consideration shall be given by both the Bureau and the
Convention Center management to the following factors:
a) Significant impact in terms of Convention Development Tax generated;
b) Total number of hotel rooms required;
c) Projected revenue to the facility both in terms of direct space rental
revenue, as well as projected revenue from concessions and other building
servIces;
d) Time of year;
e) Potential for repeat booking; and
f) Previous history and experience of the potential user with respect to use
of similar facilities.
1
.. ..
EXHIBIT "D"
ll. SCHEDULING PRIORITIES:
A. First Priority Events. Generally speaking, first priority for scheduling facilities
and date in the MBCC is available to regional, national and international conventions,
trade shows, cultural shows, corporate meetings and similar activities which are not open
only to the general public, have a significant impact in terms of Convention Development
Tax generated, require in excess of 115,000 gross square feet of exhibit space in the
MBCC and also require either a minimum of three nights with 1500 hotel rooms on the
peak night in Miami-Dade County, or be a long standing show with a minimum of 20
consecutive years usage in the MBCC provided that the impact of the Convention
Development Tax generated shall still apply as referenced in Section II. A. Convention
Development Tax impact and hotel room counts are based on prior history of the event
and are subject to verification by (1) the Bureau, or (2) at user's expense, a qualified
independent surveyor pre-approved by the Convention Center Advisory Board, provided
that such surveyor's results shall be subject to review and approval by the Convention
Center Advisory Board.
Facility and space scheduling commitments, i.e., reservations for First Priority Ev~ms,
may be made as far in advance as is necessary or appropriate and may supersede requests
for other events and activities, unless a lease agreement has been previously executed by
the MBCC and the user for such other event. Lease agreements for First Priority Events
may be entered into as far in advance as necessary or appropriate at the discretion of the
General Manager of the MBCC (the "General Manager").
Within the First Priority category, the Bureau will give preference to the event with the
most significant impact in terms of Convention Development Tax generated.
B. Second P..iority Events: Second priority for scheduling facilities and dates in the MBCC
is available to consumer or public exhibitions, tradeshows (open to the trade only), local
corporate meetings, special events, entertainment events, business meetings, and other
activities which essentially draw from or appeal to the general public and/or local regional
attendees and participants.
Tentative facility and date scheduling reservations for Second Priority Events are
generally made not more than three years in advance, and are subject to change to
accommodate First Priority Events, unless a lease agreement has been previously executed
by the MBCC and user for such event. However, large consumer and public exhibitions and
trade shows held on an annual basis may, at the discretion of the General Manager, obtain
tentative scheduling reservations for facilities and dates on a long-term basis, subject to
rescheduling or termination to accommodate First Priority Events. Lease agreements for
Second Priority Events, shall, upon request of the party holding the reservation, be issued
twenty-four (24) months prior to the event. The lease agreement shall provide that if the
Bureau has a potential First Priority Event seeking to lease the facility during Lessee's
contracted dates, and within the fifteen to twenty-four month period prior the Lessee's
event, the Lessee shall agree to use its best efforts to move its event a few days either way
2
in order to accommodate the First Priority Event.
Within the Second Priority category, the MBCC will give preference to long-standing
public shows and tradeshows held on an annual basis with a proven record of success
at the MBCC, which have produced significant revenue to the MBCC and have a
significant impact in terms of Convention Development Tax generated (Convention
Development Tax impact data shall be provided by the user), and may offer alternate
dates in a given year which may result in termination of other second priority scheduling
reservations~ the foregoing criteria may also be used by the MBCC to reschedule or
select between Second Priority Events in the case where a scheduling reservation for a
First Priority Event impacts tentative scheduling reservations for two or more Second
Priority Events.
Subject to the priorities set forth above, the General Manager may exercise his discretion
as to the issuance, modification, or termination of scheduling reservations.
m. PROTECTION CLAUSE:
A Protection Clause shall, upon the recommendation of the Convention Center Advisory
Board, be granted to long standing recurring local, regional, and international public and
tradeshows with a proven record of success, and which have produced significant revenue
to the MBCC. If granted, such Protection Clause will be included in the lease agreement,
which will not be issued earlier than twenty-four (24) months prior to the event. The
Protection Period shall not exceed a total of sixty (60) days, plus the show days. The
number of days prior to and after the event shall be the subject of agreement between the
Lessee and the General Manager, but a minimum of fifteen (15) days shall be required on
each side of the event. Upon the recommendation of the Convention Center Advisory
Board, a Protection Clause in excess of sixty (60) days may be granted for highly
competitive events with highly significant revenue to the MBCC. If a Protection Clause is
granted, it will read as follows:
PROTECTION CLAUSE:
Lessor agrees that it will not lease any portion of the Convention Center
facility to any Competing Event for the period commencing days
before Lessee's first show day, and concluding days after Lessee's
last show day (the "Protection Period"). A "Competing Event" is hereby
defined as an event which has thirty percent (30%) or more of the total
number of exhibitors/booths in the same event showing/selling product
lines in the Lessee's event~ provided, however, that a show that is open to
the public shall never be deemed a Competing Event with a show open only
to the trade, and vice versa. The determination of whether or not an event
is a "Competing Event" shall be solely within the discretion of the General
Manager, and shall be based upon the product lines in the proposed event's
prior shows.
3
IV. DEFlNITION OF TERMINOLOGY:
TENTATIVE:
Facilities and dates will be temporarily held pending notification to the contrary by either
party. In the event a tentative commitment is released by the :MBCC, the requesting
party will be notified the facilities and/or dates have been released.
SECOND OPTION:
Facilities and dates will be reserved tentatively, but the tentative reservation will be
contingent upon the release of a prior reservation which is considered first option.
FlRST OPTION:
Facilities and dates reserved on First Option are reserved tentatively, but a conflicting
commitment for the facilities and dates generally will not be made in favor of a second
requesting party within the same scheduling priority without first offering the party...
holding a First Option an opportunity to either execute a lease agreement or release its
reservation. A First Option held by a Second Priority Event can always be superseded
by a First Priority Event, unless a lease agreement has been previously executed. At the
discretion of the General Manager, a party with a First Priority Event holding a First
Option may be required, within seven (7) days of written notice, to execute a lease
agreement and post a deposit at any time that the General Manager has a good faith
request in writing from another First Priority Event for the same dates.
CONFIRMED:
Facilities and dates are considered as confirmed or under contractual commitment only
upon execution ofa :MBCC lease agreement by the event sponsor and the City of Miami
Beach specifying all details of the commitment. However, facilities and dates may be held
as "firm" upon receipt of a letter of confirmation signed by both the event sponsor and the
General Manager, pending the preparation of a lease agreement. In the event such a letter
of confirmation is signed by both the sponsor and the General Manager, no conflicting
scheduling will be made during a reasonable period to permit preparation and execution of
a lease agreement.
LONG STANDING:
Long standing show is defined as one which has a minimum of 20 consecutive years usage
in :MBCC under the same ownership, is in good standing, which includes being current on
all prior debts, and has paid all contractual obligations in a timely fashion to the facility. If
the show has multiple events in :MBCC in a calendar year, the first priority designation
applies to only one of the show events in the calendar year.
4
HOTEL ROOMS ON PEAK NIGHT:
One of the criteria used for determining whether an event is a First Priority Event is 1,500
"hotel rooms on peak night" in Miami-Dade County. "Hotel rooms on peak night" should be
distinguished from "total room nights" used, which is the product of the number of hotel
rooms used times the number of nights the event is booked in hotels.
No variance from the Center's agreement represented in the above terms may be made in
any case except upon the prior express written approval of the General Manager.
v. DEPOSIT SCHEDULES:
Deposits are required for all activities upon execution of a formal MBCC lease agreement.
FIRST PRIORITY EVENTS:
A deposit in the amount of one day's minimum guaranteed rental per hall, or
such other deposit as the General Manager may authorize, is required upon__..
execution of the lease agreement. For events leased several years or more in
advance, special arrangements may be negotiated, at the Center's option, for
a lesser deposit upon lease execution, with the deposit balance due and payable
sixty (60) days in advance of the event.
SECOND l)RIORITY EVENTS:
A minimum deposit will be required upon execution of the lease agreement as
follows: one day's minimum guaranteed rental for the first hall, and an additional
33-1/3% of one day's minimum guaranteed rental for each additional hall.
However, first-time events without a past history of success, and event sponsors
with inadequate references, or prior event sponsorships, a record of slow payment,
etc., may be required, at the Center's option, to remit up to one hundred percent
(100%) of anticipated rental and related expenses upon execution of lease agreement.
Events and circumstances not covered in the above scheduling policies may be subject to
special conditions as deemed appropriate by the General Manager.

COMMISSION MEMORANDUM NO.!::l f ~ -~ 1
TO:
Mayor Seymour Gelber and
Members of the City Co ission
DATE: July 2, 1997
FROM:
Jose Garcia-Pedrosa
City Manager
SUBJECT:
RESOLUTION AP 0 ING A PROPOSED NON-EXCLUSIVE AGREEMENT
BETWEEN PACE ATRICAL GROUP AND SPECTACOR MANAGEMENT GROUP,
ON BEHALF OF CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FOR THE PRESENTATION OF A
BROADWAY-TYPE ENTERTAINMENT SERIES THROUGH 2001-2002 SEASON.
ADMINISTRA nON RECOMMENDA nON:
Approve the resolution and the proposed negotiated agreement.
BACKGROUND:
The Commission, in its action on May 7, 1997, voted to transition the Jackie Gleason Theater of the Performing Arts
to an open booking policy for Broadway-type entertainment following the conclusion of the existing agreement with
Pace Theatrical Group (PTG), which runs until June 30, 1998.
Subsequently, Spectacor Management Group (SMG), management firm for the Jackie Gleason Theater of the
Performing Arts, entered into negotiations with PTG for the non-exclusive presentation of a subscription series of
Broadway-type entertainment at the Jackie Gleason Theater of the Performing Arts. PTG and its predecessors have
presented this type of entertainment at the Jackie Gleason Theater of the Performing Arts since 1975 and desire to
continue to present same through the 2001-2002 theatrical season. PTG wishes to have a contract to present
performances because PTG wishes to have "First Priority" under the amended Booking Policy adopted by the City
Commission on June 18, 1997. That Booking Policy requires that there be a contract for at least 20 performances
over at least four years in order for a presenter to be given "First Priority". Normally, such a contract would be
signed by the presenter with SMG, but SMG's management contract expires in approximately two years, and the
City's approval of the four-year contract is therefore required.
),
ANAL YSIS:
Highlights of the proposed agreement (copy attached) include the following:
Guarantee of a minimum of thirty (30) performance days (versus 48 currently), consisting of at least four
separate events per theatrical season.
Guaranteed minimum total rent payments of $90,000 for the 1998-99 season, $95,000 for the 1999-2000
season, $97,500 for the 2000-200 I season, and $100,000 for the 2001-2002 season. This rental, viewed weekly,
equates to $18,000, $19,500, and $20,000 per week respectively, and compares to the current PTG rental rate
of $17,000 per week for the 1997-1998 season.
AGENDA ITEM~
i-2-l1l
DATE
1
Additional rent payments of five percent of gross weekly ticket sales (net of taxes and surcharges) exceeding
$500,000.
A commitment to work with the City and SMG in developing joint marketing efforts, including a matching
grant of $25,000 annually toward such marketing efforts to be expended for general promotion of the Theater
outside the scope of the PTG events.
Adherence to the Jackie Gleason Theater Booking Policy subsequent to approval of said policy with revisions
in June 1997.
In contrast to the existing agreement, the proposed agreement grants no exclusive rights to PTG in this presentation
genre, and offers no date protection against similar events being booked into the Jackie Gleason Theater of the
Performing Arts. Committee consideration by the Convention Center Advisory Board approved the proposed
agreement at a special call meeting on June 23, 1997.
The rental fees and contributions guaranteed to the City in this agreement total $482,500 over the four years. The
agreement ensures the continuation of the presentation of first-class Broadway-type entertainment at the Jackie
Gleason Theater of the Performing Arts through the 2001-2002 theatrical season. The rent structure is fair as
compared to similar series, and the rental arrangement returns significantly more revenue per use day than the current
agreement, even though exclusivity has been deleted.
CONCLUSION:
The approval of this agreement will allow PTG to be classified as a first priority presenter as defined in the amended
booking policy, as approved by the Commission of June 18,1997. Additionally, the approval of this contract will
increase the per day revenue in comparison to previous years and assure the continued presentation of Broadway-type
entertainment at the Jackie Gleason Theater of the Performing Arts for the coming four theatrical seasons.
