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 1S`
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 in the creation of 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 2018/2019 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 2018/2019, the MBVCA funded the TAP in nine categories, including: Cultural Tourism,
Development Opportunities, Film Incentive, Initiatives, Major One Time Special Event, Special Events Recurring,
Special Projects, Special Projects Recurring, and Tourism Partnerships. In 2018, the MBVCA continued to fund
1
EXHIBIT F
MBVCA FY 2019/2020 WORKPLAN AND BUDGET
projects, utilizing funds rolled over from several years past.
A total of$1,028,575 was awarded in FY 2018/2019, compared to $1,278,750 in FY 2017/2018. The decrease in
awards reflects rescinded events, due to non-compliance or cancellation; repeat events that could not meet the
grant application criteria; deadlines that could not be met, and large events that did not return to Miami Beach.
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 that could easily be recruited by other
destinations.
FY 2019/2020 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 and access to the online
Application Portal. 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 2019/2020 the MBVCA voted to lower the criteria for the Major One Time
Special Event and Special Events Recurring grant categories requiring a total of 275 hotel room nights to be
confirmed, along with the 1,000,000 contracted media impressions. The viewership criteria remained at
1,000,000.The Special Projects and Special Projects Recurring hotel room night requirement was lowered to 2,000
with the media impressions requirement decreased to 150,000,000. The grant criteria guidelines were reviewed
for clarity and accuracy, requiring fully executed agreements and contracts to be submitted prior to proceeding
with the next step in the application process. The application requires hotel room block agreements; media
contracts, and/or broadcast/cable/TV contracts to in order to proceed with the grant submission. The criteria
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 accompanied by third party confirmation
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 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
2

MBVCA FY 2019/2020 WORKPLAN AND BUDGET
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 2019/2020. 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 Board 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 to the Board.A question and answer period follow, 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 2019/2020.
Year 1 Initial Grant Award
Year 2 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:
TAP funds are currently awarded in seven categories, including: Development Opportunities, Film Incentive,
Initiatives, Major One Time Special Event, 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

hospitality employees benefit from this valuable training.
Another project is the Miami Beach Visual Memoirs Project that was started in 2011/2012 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

EXHIBIT F
MBVCA FY 2019/2020 WORKPLAN AND BUDGET
The Miami Design Preservation League(MDPL) in partnership with Close-Up Productions has conducted a total of
130 interviews to date. In previous years, components have included an exhibit that was open to the public daily
and free of charge, initially from mid-October through late November 2012, re-opening during Art Deco Weekend
2013. The documentary played on a loop in the lecture hall portion of the Art Deco Welcome Center. An
educational component was also developed that included a video and teacher guide for Miami Beach Middle
Schools and used as a model for other educational videos to be used with Elementary and High School students.
Videos were prepared for archival as part of a statewide university consortium. A digital promotional portal
showcasing the video archive with links highlighting other Miami Beach historical resources and housed at
institutions in Miami Beach and Miami Dade County,were also developed.The"Windows on Miami Beach" portal
generated local interest and support through school contests and online displays created by students and portal
partners; daily and weekly calendars of partners' events; social media linkages that drove people to the new
website and its resources;easier access to the interviews,educational videos and curricula produced by the Visual
Memoirs Project; patronization of museums and historic sites on Miami Beach, and promoted Miami Beach as a
tourist destination through historic and artistic connections.
Additionally,the project developed a video on Barbara Baer Capitman, "Barbara's Crusade",that premiered during
Art Deco 2017.The project's website,miamibeachvisualmemoirs.com,was rebuilt for new and readily expandable
internet access. The project stored archives through FIU's Digital Archive continued to expand full-length
interviews in an effort to stimulate interest in Miami Beach's history and historic venues. The social media
exposure attracted nearly 500 followers on the project's Facebook page. 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.
The Project has continued to enhance its community and visitor awareness of the Portal through partner
organizations' cross-promotional efforts and increased social media integration. New interviews continue to take
place; thereby, augmenting the existing database. In addition, an architectural discussion was mounted at the
Wolfsonian Museum during Art Deco Weekend 2018 that included leading architects discussing preservation
architecture and the combining of styles within the expansion on Miami Beach.
Most recently, the project expanded its distribution on cable, social media, digital libraries, and their linked
websites.A YouTube channel was also launched, and an additional 10 interviews were also conducted.
The Tourism Enrichment Projects category is budgeted at$80,000 for FY 2019/2020, representing 4%of the total
budget.
Initiatives
The MBVCA expects to support new initiatives in FY 2019/2020. Strategic plans,goals and initiatives are
developed through consultation;the result of ongoing communications with the Mayor, Commission,and City
Administration.
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 to increase 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 8% of the
total budget, towards this effort.
The current contract with H+K runs through September 30, 2020 in FY 2019/2020. Objectives include increased
public relations or tourism related activities in CMB; recruitment of new events and meetings; improvement of
CMB global reputation, and the activation and population of all the "Experience Miami Beach" social media
5

handles. H+K has an extensive 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 year H+K wrote and released
12 press releases,generating 1,410,465,887 media impressions,valued at$15,638,438.52. During its sixth year, a
total of 15 press releases were written and distributed, generating 1,272,729,422 impressions valued at

(ANR) were distributed generating 1,302,477,118 impressions valued at$1,583,728.46. During their eighth, and
most recent year, H+K has written and released a total of 13 press releases and generated a total of 1,042,610,221
impressions with a value of$1,041,811.24.
Destination Marketing
The Destination Marketing allocation reflects a 3%of the total budget for FY 2019/2020.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, FAM trips, and online sweepstakes to promote increased activity on our social media channels
that will be implemented in FY 2019/2020.
App Marketing
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 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 i0S 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; the addition of new
categories 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 nearly 14,000 times
since 2015,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 and continues to be offered
free of charge.
IT Development
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
6

system (CMS)and modifiable database to support third party mobile applications via an application programming
interface (API).
Currently, the API is fully functional with 252 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 total of$30,000 or 1% of the overall budget has been allocated in FY 2019/2020 towards IT development, to
add additional categories to expand the API database to include local non-business information that can be useful
in App 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 through ads for placement on MBVCA social media channels.
in FY 2019/2020, 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 2019/2020. 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 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$449,500 for FY 2019/2020.This figure represents
14%of the total budget. The overhead allocation is budgeted at$215,500 which reflects 7%of the overall budget.
The increase from FY 2018/2019 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 are 21% of the total
budget.
Rollover
A total of$375,000 will be rolled over from FY 2018/2019 into the FY 2019/2020 MBVCA budget to assist in funding
special projects. This rollover of funds is primarily from the grants that were either not awarded and/or were
rescinded for noncompliance.
CONCLUSION
During their August 7, 2019 meeting, the MBVCA Board recommended the Mayor and City Commission adopt the
MBVCA Budget for FY 2019/2020 in the amount of$3,315,000 as reflected in Exhibit A.

COMMISSION MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor Dan Gelber and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager
DATE: September 25, 2019
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI
BEACH, FLORIDA, ADOPTING THE FINAL BUDGETS FOR THE GENERAL, G.O.
DEBT SERVICE, RDA AD VALOREM TAXES, ENTERPRISE, INTERNAL SERVICE,
AND SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS FOR FISCAL YEAR 2020
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution which
establishes the final budgets for the General, G.O. Debt Service, RDA Ad Valorem Taxes,
Enterprise, Internal Service, and Special Revenue Funds for Fiscal Year 2020.
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 final millage rate for both
the general operating and debt service is adopted, then immediately thereafter, the final budgets
by fund are adopted. The attached Resolution adopting the final budgets for the General, G.O.
Debt Service, RDA Ad Valorem Taxes, Enterprise, Internal Service, and Special Revenue Funds
for Fiscal Year 2020 is, therefore, presented to you at this time for adoption.
Additional details are contained in the Budget Message included in the Proposed Fiscal Year
2020 Operating Budget document; however, highlights of that document are outlined below.
GENERAL FUND 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 Budget Workshop on May 21st, in meetings with the Finance and Citywide Projects
Committee ("the Committee") on June 14th, July 19th, and July 26th
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 Tax contribute funding for tourist-related activities provided by General Fund
departments.

At the May 21, 2019 Commission Budget Workshop and at the June 14, 2019 Finance and
Citywide Projects Committee (FCWPC) 1St Budget Briefing, the Mayor and City Commission were
briefed regarding the Preliminary Fiscal Year 2020 General Fund budget. The preliminary budget
represents the cost of providing the same level of services as in the prior year and serves as the
baseline of funding for the annual budget development process.
Based on the 2019 Certified Taxable Values provided by the Miami-Dade County Property
Appraiser's Office as of July 1, 2019, citywide values increased approximately $1.2 billion, or
3.1%, over the 2018 Certified Taxable Values, which resulted in an increase of $5.2 million in
General Fund property tax revenues. Property taxes comprise approximately 54.1% of total Fiscal
Year 2020 General Fund revenues and are a key driver of the proposed revenues.
At the July 19, 2019 meeting, the Administration identified a combination of revenue and
expenditure refinements, revenue enhancements, expenditure reductions/efficiencies, and
expenditure enhancements. These recommendations, if approved by the Committee, would have
resulted in a proposed unallocated General Fund surplus of$213,000.
FY 2020 Balancing Strategies $
Preliminary Surplus/(Gap)as of July1St $ (4,411,000)
Recommended Revenue Enhancements 792,000
Revenue Refinements 832,000
Expenditure Refinements 1,580,000
Recommended Recurring Expenditure Reductions/Efficiencies 1,592,000
Recommended "One-Time" Expenditure Reductions/Efficiencies 469,000
Recommended Expenditure Enhancements (172,000)
Recommended "One-Time" Expenditure Enhancements (2,109,000)
Use of Prior Year Fund Balance for"One-Time" Enhancements 1,640,000
Net $ 213,000
The Committee accepted the Administration's recommendations summarized above.
Adjustments Subsequent to Budget Briefings
Over the summer recess,the Administration further refined the Proposed Fiscal Year 2020 budget
based on recommendations from the Budget Briefings, updated Fiscal Year 2019 third quarter
projections, and refinements to recommended enhancements. These adjustments resulted in the
changes below.
Revenue Refinements: $259,000
• Finalization of calculation of General Fund Administrative Fees: $245,000
• Increase in RDA transfer to the General Fund based on finalization of RDA budget
pursuant to 4th amendment to Interlocal: $14,000

operational and maintenance costs. The following General Fund item for Fiscal Year 2020 is
considered one-time in nature, and as such, the savings realized would be used to increase the
General Fund's transfer to the Pay-As-You-Go (PayGo) Fund.
• One-Time Restructuring of Grounds Maintenance Contract: $469,000
The City's Grounds Maintenance Contracts are set to expire in early 2020. The
Administration is proposing waiving bids and remaining with the same contractors and
rates. The additional one-year extension of the existing grounds maintenance agreements
would yield significant cost avoidance while minimizing the impact to operations, which is
proposed to be utilized for"one-time" Fiscal Year 2020 enhancements.

departments during the budget process, with detailed descriptions and those recommended by
the Administration. The following recurring General Fund enhancements are being recommended
by the Administration for Fiscal Year 2020:
• Marchman Act Treatment Space: $183,000
This enhancement will provide funding for the City to provide safe shelter and services for
victims of domestic violence and/or homeless citizens seeking drug abuse treatment. This
program will provide the City with access to three treatment beds on a year-round basis
from a private provider with full wrap-around services at an average rate of$167 per day
per assigned treatment bed which are anticipated to turn-over four times per year.
• Living Wage: $104,000

permanent options such as relocation or shelter.
• Youth Commission: $5,000
This enhancement will provide funding for the City of Miami Beach's Youth Commission
(seven members) to annually attend and participate in the Legislative Action Days Youth

The total cost of this enhancement is projected to be $249,000 in Year 1 and $315,000 in
Year 2 and will be offset by savings in overtime and holiday pay overtime of approximately
$219,000 annually. It is proposed that this enhancement be funded through an increase
in the transfer from the Resort Tax Fund to the General Fund.
• General Fund Impact of Recommended Internal Service Fund Enhancements: $38,000

increasing the minimum living wage rate to $15.00 per hour effective October 1, 2020.
Internal Service Fund budgets are completely allocated to the General, Enterprise, and
Special Revenue Funds.
Recommended "One-Time" Expenditure Enhancements —Attachment C ($2,747,000)
As set forth by Resolution No. 2006-26341, the City can use one-time non-recurring revenue for
capital expenditures or one-time expenditures and not to subsidize recurring personnel,
operational and maintenance costs. The following General Fund items for Fiscal Year 2020 are
considered one-time in nature, and as such, can be funded utilizing fund balance.
In June 2019, the Administration enacted a hiring freeze as well as a freeze on City-funded travel
and non-essential and non-construction expenditures, which is anticipated to result in one-time
savings realized at fiscal year-end of 2019. As a result, the additional General Fund
enhancements below, which are considered one-time in nature, are being recommended for
funding utilizing the projected year-end Fiscal Year 2019 General Fund surplus, based on third
quarter projections, as noted in the August 14, 2019 Letter to Commission (LTC 457-2019).
• North Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) Plan: $35,000
On January 19, 2019, the Administration retained Business Flare, LLC to explore a Finding
of Necessity for the potential creation of a Community Redevelopment Area (CRA) in the
North Beach area of Miami Beach. Following completion and consideration of the Finding
of Necessity, should the City move forward with the creation of a CRA in North Beach,
there will be a need to prepare a Community Redevelopment Plan for the new area.
• Economic Vitality Strategic Plan: $200,000
This enhancement will fund the development of a data-driven strategic planning process
that will meet the following objectives: (1) create a forward-thinking economic vitality
strategy for Miami Beach that encompasses existing conditions and competitive
advantages, considers the City's unique position in the greater Miami region, and
anticipates future market shifts in demographics and lifestyles; (2) refresh the mission,
services and structure of the City's economic development department; (3) engage City

Mid Beach. This enhancement provides funding for South Beach to facilitate a holistic
approach across the City.
• Washington Avenue Parklets: $50,000
A parklet is a small park, plaza, or creative public space that is physically installed in an
on-street parking space. On July 8, 2015, the Mayor and City Commission adopted
Resolution No. 2015-29085, accepting the recommendation of the Land Use and
Development Committee regarding the creation of a process and criteria for applications
for parklets on a temporary basis, and further directing the Administration to develop
criteria and a procedure for approval of parklets to be installed on a temporary basis on

and more.
• Pine Tree Drive Australian Pines Pruning: $123,000
This enhancement will fund Phase II which provides pruning of Australian Pines along
Pine Tree Drive from 41st to 46th Streets. Phase I from 28th to 41st Street was funded in
Fiscal Year 2019. The need for pruning is based on a consultant's report that identified
that 80% of the trees require retrenchment pruning due to safety concerns.
• Go Digital Program Implementation: $105,000
The Office of Housing and Community Services will be relocated to multiple sites,
including an offsite trailer. Due to the limited space, the digitizing of files and documents
will allow employees to easily access files and information in a timely manner. This
enhancement will provide funding for two temporary employees to scan all
documents/client files into a secured database for two years.
• Camillus House Lazarus Project: $47,000
Due to the delay in launching the original one-year pilot of the Camillus House Lazarus
Project in the City, a six-month enhancement is being requested. This enhancement will
allow for Camillus House to deliver specialized outreach via the Project Lazarus Initiative
to engage, assess, treat, and secure supportive permanent housing placements for
persons who are chronically homeless and vulnerable in the City. These additional six
months will allow the program to complete a year of services and obtain performance data
and analyze the program for efficacy.
• South Pointe Park Cutwalk/Government Cut Erosion: $200,000
This enhancement will provide funding for the City to engage a coastal engineering
consultant to further evaluate the existing conditions, provide recommendations, obtain

• Conservation of the City's Public Art Projects: $70,000
This enhancement will increase Fiscal Year 2020 funding allocated for Art in Public Places
(AIPP) to provide for conservation of the City's public art projects on an as needed basis.
• Continuation of University of Miami PrEP Mobile Wellness Clinic Contribution: $250,000
This enhancement request was submitted for continuation of the City's support of the
University of Miami's PrEP Mobile Wellness Clinic.As part of the Fiscal Year 2018 budget,
the City provided the University of Miami (UM) with a one-time $250,000 contribution to
support operational costs for a PrEP Mobile Clinic on Miami Beach to reduce the rate of
new human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections on Miami Beach. This additional one-
time enhancement of $250,000 for Fiscal Year 2020 will be used to continue services at
the existing location and to expand the program to an additional location in the North
Beach area. UM will use a portion of the funding to subcontract with Prevention305 for
online outreach and to provide in-person assistance with navigation to a PrEP
appointment. Funding is being proposed per the recommendation of the Finance and
Citywide Projects Committee at its July 31, 2019 meeting as an additional "one-time"
Fiscal Year 2020 contribution.
• City Hall Security Improvements: $200,000
The Property Management Department in collaboration with the Miami Beach Police
Department has identified physical vulnerabilities and solutions to enhance security in and
around City Hall.A recently completed security assessment of the facility revealed several
areas that can potentially be breached. To mitigate intruder attack, controls, physical
retrofits, and policies can be implemented to fortify security, which are proposed to be
implemented in two phases. For Fiscal Year 2020, it is recommended that Phase I be
implemented, which includes: (1) installation of access control panels in interior elevators,
stairwells, walkway gates, and walkway bridges; (2) installation of intruder stops on
interior doors; (3) first responder/public safety master card access; (4) evacuation plans;
and (5) low countertop glass protection in Human Resources and Public Works.
• Resilience Program Communications: $100,000
This one-time enhancement will continue marketing and communications outreach that
began in Fiscal Year 2019 regarding Citywide resilience efforts with residents and the
community to better understand resiliency concepts and what the City of Miami Beach is
doing to remain resilient. Funds would be used primarily for community meetings, direct
mailings, and targeted marketing.
• Cultural Events Programming: $50,000
This enhancement will provide funding of the following events and associated
expenditures as a one-time pilot for Fiscal Year 2020: (1) 2-day Vegan Festival including
restaurant crawl in North Beach and various food booths to be held in North Beach; (2)
Two small scale Black History Month events; and (3) Full-day festival to produce the City's
first "Juneteenth" event in North Beach.

dinner, entertainment, and a talent competition featuring musical performances, comedy,
dancing, poetry, etc.
Parking and RDA Fund Transfers to the General Fund
Is it important to note that the Administration's long-term objective is to reduce the subsidy from
the Parking Enterprise Fund to the General Fund in order reduce the burden on the Parking
Enterprise Fund. Due to fiscal constraints, the Administration is recommending that the Fiscal
Year 2020 transfer from the Parking Enterprise Fund to the General Fund remain consistent with
the Fiscal Year 2019 contribution of$1.2 million.
Similarly, the Administration is recommending that the transfer from the City Center
Redevelopment Agency (RDA) Fund remain consistent with the Fiscal Year 2019 contribution of
$4.4 million. These RDA funds became available through approval of the Fourth Amendment to
the Interlocal Agreement between the City of Miami Beach, the Miami Beach Redevelopment
Agency, and Miami Dade County. Like the Parking Enterprise Fund, the City's long-term objective
is to reduce the General Fund's reliance on this funding from the RDA over the next three years
during each budget development cycle.

Use of Resort Taxes to offset Tourism Eligible Expenditures in the General Fund
Based on an outside cost allocation study completed in Fiscal Year 2019 using actual expenses
for Fiscal Year 2018, the study estimated that there are approximately $149.6 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;
Miami Design Preservation League (MDPL); Orange Bowl; monuments; etc.
Page 332 of 540

September 25, 2019
Page 11
The total Proposed Resort Tax Fund transfer to the General Fund for Fiscal Year 2020 is $36.8
million, which is a $921,000, or 2.6 percent, increase over the Fiscal Year 2019 transfer of$35.8
million.
PROPOSED FY 2020 ENTERPRISE FUND BUDGETS
Enterprise Funds are comprised of Sanitation, Water and Sewer, Storm Water, Parking, and
Convention Center Departments. The Fiscal Year 2020 Enterprise Fund budgets are $229.3
million. This represents an increase of $19.3 million, or 9.2 percent, over the Fiscal Year 2019
budget of$210.0 million, primarily due to the following:
• Water reflects an overall increase of $2.4 million, or 6.8 percent, primarily due to a
projected $1.6 million increase in operating revenues and a $1.2 million reduction in
operating expenditures (which resulted from a $2.6 million credit from the Miami Dade
County based on Fiscal Year 2018 expenses offset by other increases in operating
expenditures). The net effect resulted in a $2.8 million increase in the budgeted transfer
to fund balance. The Fiscal Year 2020 budget also includes a one-time enhancement of
$750,000 for Neighborhood Improvement Design Packages, which will be necessary to
expedite work once the Jacob's Engineering study is completed.
• Sewer reflects an overall increase of $1.7 million, or 3.4 percent, primarily due to a
projected $986,000 increase in operating revenues, in addition to a $281,000 reduction in
operating expenditures, which resulted in a $1.3 million increase in the budgeted transfer
to fund balance. The Fiscal Year 2020 budget also includes a one-time enhancement of
$750,000 for Neighborhood Improvement Design Packages, which will be necessary to
expedite work once the Jacob's Engineering study is completed.
• Storm Water reflects an overall increase of$2.6 million, or 8.9 percent, primarily due to a
one-time enhancement of$1.5 million for Neighborhood Improvement Design Packages,
which will be necessary to expedite work once the Jacob's Engineering study is
completed; a $824,000 increase in administrative fees to the General Fund based on the
updated cost allocation study completed during Fiscal Year 2019; an enhancement of
$364,000 for one additional full-time Assistant Pumping Mechanic and two additional full-
time Electrician positions to keep up with the maintenance demands of the City's Storm
Water program; and a $249,000 increase in capital expenditures.
• Parking reflects an overall increase of $1.9 million, or 3.6 percent, primarily due to a
projected $2.3 million increase in operating revenues and a $1.4 million reduction in
administrative fees to the General Fund based on the updated cost allocation study
completed during Fiscal Year 2019, offset by a $1.1 million increase in operating
expenditures, which resulted in a $2.7 million increase in the budgeted transfer to fund
balance.
• Convention Center reflects an overall increase of$10.6 million, or 55.0 percent, due to the
anticipated full re-opening of the newly reimagined Convention Center, which
encompasses 1.4 million square feet and includes a new 60,000 square-foot Grand
Ballroom, 84 meeting rooms, and a 20,000 square-foot specialty glass rooftop Sunset
Ballroom, along with new indoor and outdoor spaces. The budget includes a $1.7 million
increase in contractor costs for Spectra, which manages and operates the Convention
Page 333 of 540

September 25, 2019
Page 12
Center's facilities. It also includes $6.7 million in expenditures related to Centerplate,
which manages and operates the Convention Center's Food and Beverage services. The
agreement with Centerplate was recently restructured to provide for the City to receive
95% of the net operating profits of the catering and food and beverage operations of the
Convention Center(after payment of all operating expenses). Prior to the new agreement,
these expenditures were not reflected in the Convention Center's budget. This budget also
includes a $994,000 increase in operating costs to cover the cost of the maintaining Pride
Park(formerly known as the P-Lot Park), which is a part of the Convention Center campus.
Proposed Sanitation Fund Adjustments
During last year's budget process, the Administration presented to the City Commission a series
of potential rate increases (residential fee adjustment, recycling fee pass-through and a franchise
fee increase on monthly gross receipts) to address the existing $855,000 structural imbalance in
the Sanitation Fund. The City Commission requested that the Administration perform a Zero-
Based Budget (ZBB) exercise for the Sanitation Division to identify multiple expenditure and
revenue options to close the imbalance.
Zero-based budgeting is a budgeting process that asks managers to build a budget from the
ground up, starting at zero. The Administration first started with defining the Sanitation Division
through the program budget as follows: Who do we do it for? Where do we do it? After the core
programs were identified, the costs, which include full time equivalents (FTE)and levels of service
(LOS) were determined. Revenues were matched with their corresponding expenditures,
producing the ZBB document.
At the July 26, 2019 Budget Briefing, the Administration presented Sanitation's ZBB to the
FCWPC. In order to reduce the shortfall, the Administration proposed a combination of Sanitation
expenditure reductions and rate increases. The Committee approved the following adjustments
for Fiscal Year 2020:
Recommended Expenditure Reduction/Efficiencies
• Reduction in Litter/Debris Removal Crew - $138,000
i nis reduction is being recommended to reduce the Sanitation department's litter/debris
removal crew by one full-time position without negatively impacting services.
• Elimination of Sanitation-Funded Full-Time Code Compliance Positions - $113,000
The tasks that are performed by these two positions will be distributed among the
remaining staff to minimize the impact on the Division's operations.
• Efficiency of Alternate Side Parking Pilot Program - $92,000
This reduction is being recommended as part of the Alternate Side Parking pilot initiative
which commenced in July 2019, in which designated blocks within the city will be vacant
of vehicle during short periods of time on specific days of the week, thus enabling sweeper
trucks to completely access to curbs and gutters during cleaning. If this program proves
to be successful, the impact of a citywide implementation would result in additional saving
of approximately $228,000. This will be explored further during Fiscal Year 2020.
Page 334 of 540
Adopt Final Budgets for Fiscal Year 2020
September 25, 2019
Pag9 13
• Reduction in Doggie Baq Crew - $43,000
There are dedicated crews that are responsible for refilling doggie bag dispensers
citywide. This reduction will decrease the doggie bag crew by one position, potentially
resulting in dispensers being refilled less frequently.
The following two reductions were also explored during the budget process, but are not
recommended at this time. The Administration will pursue these options further during Fiscal Year
2020.
• Residential Backyard Service
The City has contracted with residential trash service providers to provide for three trucks
to service the single-family homes with backyard service twice per week throughout the
City. The City of Coral Gables and the Village of Key Biscayne provide a similar LOS. In
comparison, the City of Coral Gables charges an annual fee of $750 and the Village of
Key Biscayne charges $645 as compared to the City of Miami Beach a current annual fee
of$543.96. While this is lower, other nearby residents without such a premier service, pay
less in annual fees as noted in the chart below:
MUNICIPALITIES ANNUAL FEE POINT OF SERVICE
Coral Gables S750 Backyard
Village Key Biscayne $645 Backyard
Miami Beach $543.96 Backyard
Miami Dade County S464 Curbside
Bal Harbour S457 20 Curbside
North Miami Beach S450 Curbside
City of Miami S380 Curbside
Hialeah S360 Curbside
North Miami S357 Curbside
Bay Harbor Island S273 60 Curbside
With the potential savings of 15 to 20 percent, it is worth exploring potential adjustments
to this program, such as charging separately for this service on request.
• Elimination of the Big Belly Program
Big Belly solar trash compactors have been installed on Washington Avenue, and
following a pilot program, the revised agreement was executed in 2017. This program is
estimated to cost the City approximately$231,000. The contract's initial ter m will expire in
February 2021. Should the City terminate the agreement for convenience prior to the
completion of the current term, the remaining monthly service fee for the entire term would
need to be paid in addition to a removal fee not to exceed $500 per station. Therefore,
any termination of the program prior to the end of the term will not necessarily become a
reduction of the year in which it is terminated. There are additional expenses such as
repairs, insurance, and taxes that are incurred yearly that would be eliminated with the
termination of the agreement.

Recommended Revenue Enhancements
• Increasinq Franchise Fees - $83,000
The City Commission adopted Ordinance No. 90-2742 providing for Non-Exclusive Waste
Contractor Franchise Agreements on October 1, 2003. Chapter 90 of the Miami Beach
City Code, Section 90-221 provides for regulations, fees and procedures, and specifies
that the City has the option of raising the franchise fee once yearly, said raises not to
exceed two percent (2%). The last increase to the franchise fees per Resolution 2007-
26658 increased the franchise fee from 16% to 18%, effective October 1, 2007.
Any fee increases that affect solid waste franchisees that provide service to commercial
accounts and multi-family units get passed through to the end user via individual contract
increases by the hauler. Increasing the franchise fee from eighteen (18%) percent to
twenty (20%) percent will generate additional revenue in the Sanitation Budget of
approximately $83,000 for Fiscal Year 2020.
Multiple municipalities were contacted regarding their franchise fee rates. The
municipalities that responded are listed below. This increase keeps the City of Miami
Beach fees at or below other municipalities as shown in the comparison fee chart provided:
Municipalities Percentage
Hialeah 25%
Coral Gables 22%
North Miami 20%
North Miami Beach 20%
Miami Beach 20%(Proposed)
• Increasing the Roll Off Fee - $21,000
The City Commission adopted Ordinance No. 2008-3616 on September 17, 2008
amending the on-street and off-street permit fee for roll-off waste containers serviced by
licensed contractors from 16% to 18% of the licensee's total monthly gross receipts.
Currently, the roll-off contractor's monthly gross receipts are approximately $515,740.
This equates to $92,833 per month that the City is ro!lecting on their monthly gross
receipts.
Historically, the on-street and off-street permit fees for roll-off waste containers has been
the same fee as the franchise fee charged to solid waste contractors. The fee increase
will affect solid waste licensees that provide roll-off service to commercial and residential
accounts. This fee has not been increased in 10 years. I he additional revenue collected
would be approximately $21,000.
After incorporating the recommended expenditure reductions/efficiencies and revenue
enhancements mentioned above, the proposed Fiscal Year 2020 Sanitation budget
reflects an overall increase of $28,000, or 0.1 percent. If the Committee's
recommendations are approved by the City Commission, the Fiscal Year 2020 Sanitation
Fund will need to use $1.6 million of available fund balance to balance the Fiscal Year
2020 budget. Of this amount, $478,000 is the remaining operating structural imbalance.

Use of One-Time Sanitation Revenues for Recurring Expenditures
As previously noted, the City's policy regarding use of one-time revenues states that "the City of
Miami Beach will use one-time, non-recurring revenue for capital expenditures or one-time
expenditures and not subsidize recurring personnel, operations, and maintenance cost." The
Sanitation Fund requires the use of fund balance for recurring Fiscal Year 2020 operating
expenditures.
As a result, it is recommended that the Mayor and City Commission waive this policy, as adopted
by Resolution No. 2006-26341, providing for the one-time use of fund balance for the Fiscal Year
2020 Sanitation Fund. During the upcoming fiscal year, the Administration will continue to explore
and recommend further actions to ensure that the Fund will move toward being structurally
balanced.
PROPOSED FY 2020 INTERNAL SERVICE FUND BUDGETS
Internal Service Funds are comprised of Central Services, Fleet Management, Information
Technology, Risk Management, Medical and Dental, and Property Management. The Fiscal Year
2020 budgets for Internal Service Funds is $98.9 million, which is an increase of $2.6 million, or
2.7 percent, over the Fiscal Year 2019 budget.
A major driver of the Fiscal Year 2020 budget increase is the $1.4 million increase in the Fleet
Management budget. As noted at the May 21st Budget Workshop, due to fiscal constraints, the
City has delayed some vehicle and equipment replacements and funded purchases with
equipment loans versus cash. In order to address this concern, the Fiscal Year 2020 budget
includes a $1.0 million increase in vehicle and equipment expenditures to be cash-funded using
funds made available via the fourth RDA amendment.
The increase in the Internal Service Fund budgets also resulted from a $1.3 million increase in
the Property Management Fund budget due to a $661,000 increase in vehicle replacements
scheduled for replacement in Fiscal Year 2020 per Fleet Management, a $217,000 increase in
contract maintenance costs, and a $435,000 increase in other operating expenditures.
Internal Service costs are completely allocated to the General Fund and Enterprise Fund
departments, as well as Special Revenue Funds. The Risk Management Fund does, however,
reimburse the General Fund for the cost of legal services provided.

PROPOSED FY 2020 RESORT TAX FUND BUDGET
2% Resort Tax Fund
At the May 21, 2019 Commission Budget Workshop, the Mayor and City Commission were
briefed regarding the Preliminary Fiscal Year 2020 Resort Tax budget.
At the July 19, 2019 FCWPC meeting, the Administration discussed the Resort Tax budget in
further detail. Based on actual collections as of April 2019, the projected Resort Tax surplus for
Fiscal Year 2020 was $750,000 assuming a 1% increase over prior year collections thru
September 2019 and a 2% increase in collections over Fiscal Year 2019 year-end projections.
As a result of the preliminary $750,000 surplus projected for Fiscal Year 2020, the Administration
recommended a combination of expenditure refinements and enhancements, which if approved
by the Committee, would have resulted in a balanced budget.

The Fiscal Year 2020 Res.:,.-t Tax budget is $93.6 million, which is an increase of $4.2 million, or
4.7 percent, from the adopted Fiscal Year 2019 budget. This increase includes a projected
increase in Resort Tax revenues based on the following assumptions: actual collections thru June
2019, with a one percent increase over Fiscal Year 2018 actuals from July 2019 through
September 2019 and a two percent increase over total projected Fiscal Year 2019 collections.
The Administration will continue to monitor these revenues over the upcoming months. The Fiscal
Year 2020 Resort Tax budget includes:
• $36,757,000 provided to the General Fund. This reflects an increase of $921,000, or 2.6
percent, over the Fiscal Year 2019 contribution of $35,836,000 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

BUDGET AND POSITION TRENDS
The 2016 Environmental Scan conducted as part of the strategic planning process showed that
the average daily population in the City has grown 27.2%from 2007 to 2016. Much of this increase
consists of additional other tourists (77%), seasonal residents (53%), hotel guests (40%), and
non-tourist beach visitors (40%). Having over 27.2% 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 reflects the General Fund budget and General Obligation Bond Debt
Service budget divided by the Average Daily Population (ADP) from Fiscal Year 2007 to Fiscal
Year 2018. The chart shows that the General Fund Budget per ADP has increased by less than
one percent each year since Fiscal Year 2007.

overall position count in Fiscal Year 2020 is 28 positions less than Fiscal Year 2019.

The Fiscal Year 2020 budget includes service level enhancements that address high priority
needs of the City as identified through the Commission Budget Workshop, three Budget Briefings,
