CITY OF MIAMI BEACH
COMMISSION ITEM SUMMARY
Condensed Title:
An Ordinance of the Mayor and City Commission of the City of Miami Beach, Florida Amending
Subsections of Chapter 102 Entitled "Taxation" Article V Occupational License Tax and the "Building
Regulations" subsection and Amending fees for 14-426(3)(G) thereof entitled "Certificate of Use Fees" as
well as amending "Annual Fire Prevention and Fire Safety Inspections" subsections and amending fees for
50-5(d)(1-9)
Issue:
IShall the fees for occupational licenses, certificates of use and fire safety inspection be increased for FY
03/04 and a policy to trigger an automatic review of fees be established when a certain threshold change in
the CPI occurs?
Item Summary/Recommendation:
Occupational licenses are limited to a maximum increase of 5% every other year. Such fees were last
increased in June 1995, based on a 1994 study. The change in CPI from June 1994 through March 2003
is 24.5%. Therefore, it is recommended that these fees be automatically increased on October 1,2003 by
5% and further, increased by 5% every other year on October 1, until such fees have caught up with the
cumulative change in the CPI as of that date.
The certificate of use fee was last increased in 1992. The cumulative change in CPI from September 1992
to March 2003 is 30%. Therefore, it is recommended that the fee be increased by 10% on October 1,2003,
10% on October 1,2004, 10% October 1,2005 and on October 1, 2006 by the cumulative change in the
CPI from March 2003 to September 2006.
The annual fire inspection fee was established in 1997 and has not been increased since its inception. The
cumulative change in CPI from March 1997 to March 2003 is 15%.Therefore, it is recommended that this
fee be increased by 15% on October 1,2003.
Advisory Board Recommendation:
The Finance and Citywide Projects Committee approved the recommended fee increases during their May
12, 2003 meeting.

On first reading of the ordinance amendment on July 2, 2003, the Mayor and City
Commission accepted the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee's recommendations,
with the exception of the automatic annual increase provision, which was not accepted.
It was then recommended that a methodology be put in place to review the fees when a
threshold change in the CPI occurs. Therefore, it is recommended that a review of the fees
be initiated whenever the change in the CPI, between the current CPI and the date of CPI
used to establish the last rate adjustment, is greater than five percent (5%). Upon reaching
this threshold, and following a survey of fees for similar services in surrounding
communities and/or an analysis to review the current cost of providing such services,
adjustment to such fees will be incorporated into an amended ordinance or resolution, as
appropriate, and submitted to the Mayor and City Commission for approval. This process
will help to insure that the city is recovering costs for services provided and keeping fees
competitive and in line with cost of living increases.
This policy will be presented to the Mayor and the City Commission on July 30, 2003, for
approval on a separate resolution.
BACKGROUND:
In May of 1993, there was a major reform of the Occupational License Tax Statute
(Chapter 205 of the Florida Statutes). The key provision of this reform allowed local
governing authorities more control over their licensing revenue. During June 1994, the
Miami Beach City Commission appointed an Equity Rate Study Commission ("ERSC")
whose members were representative of the local business community. The findings of the
ERSC were advisory in nature only. The statute required that the City Commission review
their finding and adopted a license ordinance prior to October 1, 1995.
The Mayor and City Commission approved the Occupational License Ordinance upon first
reading at the May 17, 1995, commission meeting, and referred the matter to the Finance
and Citywide Projects Committee for their review. Subsequently, the Occupational License
Ordinance was adopted on second reading June 7, 1995 and rates were established
based on the 1994 study and have not been increased since that time.
The Certificate of Use Ordinance was established in 1988 to recover building, planning,
and zoning inspections and annual follow up. The fee was last increased by 50% by
Ordinance No. 92-2797 on September 16, 1992.
The Annual Fire Prevention and Fire Safety Inspection fee was first established on March
5, 1997, to recover the cost of providing fire prevention and fire safety inspections within
the City, by Ordinance No. 97-3072 and has not been increased since that date.
On July 31, 2002, the City Commission directed the Administration to combine the City
occupational license, certificate of use, and fire safety permit on a single certificate as of
October 1,2002. Additionally, the Commission directed the Administration to change the
annual issue date of the certificate of use and the fire safety permit from Ju ne 1 to October
1, to coincide with the annual issuance of the occupational license.
On May 12, 2003, the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee recommended fee
increases for occupational license, certificate of use, and fire inspection fees. Additionally
they requested that an automatic annual escalation provision, based on the increase in the
annual CPI, be implemented to ensure that rates keep up with the increased cost of
providing services.
Occupational License
The Finance and Citywide Projects Committee recommended an increase in the fee
charged for each occupational license of 5%, and that the new rate take effect upon
approval of the amended Ordinance. Additionally, the Committee recommended that an
annual escalation provision, based on CPI, be included in the Ordinance.
Occupational licenses are limited to a maximum increase of 5% every other year. Such
fees were last increased in June 1995, based on a 1994 study. The change in CPI from
June 1994 through March 2003 is 24.5%. Therefore, it is recommended that these fees be
automatically increased on October 1,2003 by 5% and further, automatically increased by
5% every other year on October 1 until such fees have caught up with the cumulative
change in CPI as of that date. Thereafter it is recommended, that the fees be adjusted
automatically every other year on October 1, by the actual amount of the change in CPI for
the intervening two-year period, not to exceed 5%.
The Committee also recommended adding a classification and an annual fee for nightclubs
(or a version of a dancehall license based on current zoning code) in addition to any other
license fees paid. The fee is based on maximum occupant capacity, at $3 per occupant,
with a $300 minimum, to recover nightclub inspection overtime costs, which are currently in
excess of $75,000 per year. The rate is to take effect upon approval of the amended
Ordinance. Additionally this fee shall increase at the rate of the cumulative change in CPI,
every other year automatically on October 1, not to exceed 5%. However, on first reading
of the ordinance amendment on July 2, 2003, the Mayor and City Commission accepted
the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee's recommendations, with the exception of
the automatic annual increase provision, which was not accepted. It was then
recommended that a methodology be put in place to review the fees when a threshold
change in the CPI occurs.
The Committee also recommended adding a classification for an Adult Entertainment
Establishment with an annual occupational license fee of $5,000 in addition to any other
license fees paid. The rate is to take effect upon approval of the amended Ordinance.
Additionally, this fee shall increase at the rate of the cumulative change in CPI, every other
year automatically on October 1, not to exceed 5%. However, on first reading of the
ordinance amendment on July 2, 2003, the Mayor and City Commission accepted the
Finance and Citywide Projects Committee's recommendations, with the exception of the
automatic annual increase provision, which was not accepted. It was then recommended
that a methodology be put in place to review the fees when a threshold change in the CPI
occurs.
Certificate of Use
The Finance and Citywide Projects Committee recommended an increase in the fee
charged for the certificate of use of 10%, with the new rate to take effect upon approval of
the amended Ordinance. Additionally, the Committee recommended that an annual
escalation provision, based on CPI, be included in the ordinance.
The certificate of use fee was last increased in 1992. The cumulative change in CPI from
September 1992 to March 2003 is 30%. Therefore, it is recommended that the fee be
increased by 10% on October 1,2003, 10% on October 1,2004, 10% October 1,2005,
and on October 1,2006, the cumulative change in the CPI from March 2003 to September
2006. Thereafter it is recommended, that the fees be adjusted automatically every year on
October 1, by the actual amount of the change in CPI from the last fee adjustment.
However, on first reading of the ordinance amendment on July 2, 2003, the Mayor and City
Commission accepted the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee's recommendations,
with the exception of the automatic annual increase provision, which was not accepted. It
was then recommended that a methodology be put in place to review the fees when a
threshold change in the CPI occurs.
Annual Fire Inspection
The Finance and Citywide Projects Committee recommended an increase in the fee
charged for annual fire inspection of 15%, with the new rate to take effect immediately
upon approval of the amended Ordinance. Additionally, the Committee recommended that
an annual escalation provision, based on CPI, be included in the Ordinance. However, on
first reading of the ordinance amendment on July 2, 2003, the Mayor and City Commission
accepted the Finance. and Citywide Projects Committee's recommendations, with the
exception of the automatic annual increase provision, which was not accepted. It was then
recommended that a methodology be put in place to review the fees when a threshold
change in the CPI occurs.
The annual fire inspection fee was established in 1997 and has not been increased since
its inception. The cumulative change in CPI from March 1997 to March 2003 is
15%.Therefore, it is recommended that this fee be increased by 15% on October 1,2003.
Thereafter it is recommended, that the fees be adjusted automatically every year on
October 1, by the actual amount of the change in CPI from the last fee adjustment.

Commission accepted the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee's recommendations,
