A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY
OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, APPROVING FORM OF GRANT
AGREEMENT TO BE EXECUTED BY ORGANIZATIONS RECEIVING
GRANT AWARDS FUNDED FROM THE PROCEEDS OF THE
CONTEMPLATED GENERAL OBLIGATION BOND FOR ARTS &

MANAGER AND CITY CLERK TO EXECUTE A GRANT AGREEMENT
WITH EACH OF THE G.O. BOND GRANTEES WITH THE AMOUNT OF
GRANT AWARD AND ADDITIONAL PUBLIC BENEFIT FOR EACH
GRANTEE TO BE APPROVED BY THE CITY COMMISSION.
BACKGROUND
At the July 20, 2022 Commission meeting, the Mayor and Commission approved Resolution No.
2022-32261, authorizing a special election, submitting to the electorate of the City of Miami Beach
the question asking whether the City shall be authorized to issue general obligation bonds, not
exceeding $159,000,000, to improve facilities for resiliency of arts and cultural institutions
throughout the City (the "G.O. Bonds for Arts & Culture"), including museums, performance
venues, artistic playgrounds, senior/cultural centers, botanical garden, aquatic sculpture park,
and related artist/workforce housing.
On November 8, 2022, the voters of the City of Miami Beach approved the issuance of $159
million in Arts and Culture Bonds as follows:
For Bonds
Against Bonds
ANALYSIS
15,142
8,226
64.80%
35.20%
Some of the projects that will be funded by the G.O. Bonds for Arts & Culture will require the City
to enter into grant agreements with the recipient cultural institutions, and at the November 16,
2022 Commission meeting, the Mayor and Commission approved Resolution No. 2022-32405
directing the Administration and City Attorney's Office to negotiate and secure public benefits for
residents of the City as part of the grant agreements. By way of example, the public benefits to
be secured by the City in the grant agreements could include public access requirements,
discounted tickets to residents and free performances or other activations.

SECTION IV
Item a.
2
The City Attorney’s office, working with City staff that will be involved in the deployment of the
G.O. Bond for Arts & Culture, prepared a form of grant agreement (the “Grant Agreement
Template”) to be executed by the cultural arts institutions that will receive grants funded by the
G.O. Bond for Arts & Culture. The Grant Agreement Template, a copy of which is attached as
Exhibit A to this Resolution, was reviewed and approved by bond counsel and tax counsel. The
Office of the Inspector General was afforded the opportunity to provide comments to the Grant
Agreement Template.
Key provisions in the Grant Agreement Template include the following:
•Agreement will establish amount of grant to be funded to the Grantee on a reimbursement
basis (amount of each grant will be subject to Commission approval) (Section 1.2)
•Grantee is required to provide an additional public benefit in accordance with Resolution
No. 2022-32405 (Section 1.3)
•City’s obligation to fund contingent upon (a) actual issuance of bonds and (b) continuing
permissibility of funding under applicable law (Section 1.4)
•Grantee may use grant award solely to pay for capital expenditures; funds may not be
used for any other purpose including to pay for operating expenses, ordinary maintenance
and repairs (Section 1.5)
•For 25 years from completion, Grantee must (a) maintain the Project, (b) keep the Project
open to all Miami Beach residents and members of the general public, (c) use the facility
improved and/or equipment acquired for the benefit of the Public and (d) allow all Miami
Beach residents and visitors equal access and use of the Project (Section 1.5)
•Agreement will establish a timeframe for the Grantee to achieve Substantial Completion
(Section 1.6)
•Agreement will include an exhibit reflecting the Grantee’s total budget, funding sources
(including the grant award) and cash flow schedule (Section 2.1)
•Grantee solely responsible for cost overruns (Section 2.2)
•Grantee must submit reimbursement requests in accordance with a form to be attached
as an exhibit, along with supporting documentation (Sections 2.5(a) and (b))
•Grantee must submit monthly and annual status reports throughout the course of the
Project (Section 2.5(d) and 2.9)
•City Manager may monitor and evaluate Grantee’s operations and the Project (Section
3.1)
•City Manager may request return of funds if used for non-Project costs (Section 3.1)
•The City Manager has customary audit rights (Section 3.2)
•The Office of the Inspector General has customary audit rights (Section 3.3)
•The Agreement includes standard insurance and indemnification provisions (Article 4)
•The Agreement includes customary legal compliance provisions, including anti-
discrimination and public records act requirements (Article 5)
•The Agreement includes customary default provisions (Article 6); if Grantee improperly
uses Grant funding, the City may require the Grantee to reimburse the City for all grant
funding provided, in addition to other remedies
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission approve the Grant
Agreement Template and authorize the City Manager to execute agreements in the form of the
Grant Agreement Template with each of the G.O. Bond for Arts & Culture grantees, with the
amount of grant award and additional public benefit for each grantee to be approved by the City
Commission.

COMMITTEE MEMORANDUM
TO: Members of the Finance and Economic Resiliency Committee
FROM: Alina T. Hudak, City Manager
DATE: March 31, 2023
SUBJECT: A DISCUSSION WITH POSSIBLE ACTION AS NEEDED REGARDING THE G. O.
BONDS FOR ARTS AND CULTURE APPROVED BY THE VOTERS ON NOVEMBER
8, 2022
BACKGROUND
At the July 20, 2022 Commission meeting, the Mayor and Commission approved
Resolution 2022-32261, authorizing a special election, submitting to the electorate of the
City of Miami Beach the question asking whether the City shall be authorized to issue
general obligation bonds (GOB) , not exceeding $159,000,000, to improve facilities for
resiliency of arts and cultural institutions throughout the City, including museums,
performance venues, artistic playgrounds, senior/cultural centers, botanical garden,
aquatic sculpture park, and related artist/workforce housing.
On November 8, 2022, the voters of the City of Miami Beach approved the issuance of
$159 million in Arts and Culture Bonds as follows:
For Bonds 15,142 64.80%
Against Bonds 8,226 35.20%
Since November 8, 2022, City staff has been working internally and with the institutions
to be funded from the proposed 2023 Arts and Culture bonds proceeds to evaluate and
refine roles and responsibilities, timing of funding needs, etc., while at the same time,
preparing the documents needed by Bond Counsel to evaluate the taxable versus tax-
exempt status of each project. The latter is essential as to whether the bonds to be issued
will be taxable, tax-exempt or a combination.
On November 16, 2022, the Commission referred a “Discussion With Possible Action As
Needed Regarding The G. O. Bonds For Arts And Culture Approved By The Voters On November
8, 2022”. At the January 27, 2023 Finance and Economic Resiliency Committee Meeting,
the Administration provided an update including the following:
•Overview of Projects
•Why this bond issue is different from other city issues
•Tax-exempt vs. taxable bond issue
•Potential issues for determining tax-exempt debt
Item b.
•Potential impacts of 2 tranches
•Potential options for debt structure and number of bonds issues
•Timeline for bond issuance – Summer 2022
•Impact of the Arts and Culture GOB and other bond issues on and property owners
•Using $1.5 million of the Miscellaneous Category to fund the Collins Park
Performing Arts Venue Rotunda Project
The Committee recommended funding $1.5 million from the Miscellaneous Category for
the Collins Park Performing Arts Venue Rotunda Project, which was subsequently
approved by the Mayor and Commission at their February 1, 2023 Commission meeting.
The Committee directed that this item be brought back to the Committee in March with
recommendations for Tranche 1 funding and an evaluation of the breakdown between
taxable and tax-exempt components.
ANALYSIS
In determining the Tranche 1 recommended funding, the Administration evaluated cash
flow needs based on schedules created for each of the City owned facilities and
information provided by institutions for projects that will not be managed by the City. This
approach allows for only the necessary funding to be included in Tranche 1, and therefore
reduces initial taxes paid by property owners with tax increases phased in over time.
The table included as Attachment 1 herein reflects the results of the analysis and
recommended funding for Tranche 1.
It is important to note the New World Symphony, Holocaust Memorial, and Miami Beach
Hispanic Community Center (Coral Rock House) were treated as City facilities to be
managed by the City (either because they were on land leased from the City or because
they were combined with a City facility as one project) and, therefore, the total costs
assigned to each project included:
•General Contractor bond fees, overhead and profit
•Permit Fees
•Project Management by the City
•Program Oversight by the City
•“Owner’s” Contingency.
It has since been determined that these projects will not be managed by the City, but
rather by each respective entity. As such, the recommended grant amounts have been
adjusted to remove costs that are not considered capital costs such as City project
management and program oversight, as they cannot be capitalized to a City project.
Further, the 15% “owners” contingency, is excluded from Tranche 1, at this time, pending
further analysis by bond counsel and the City’s financial advisor. By definition, use and
cash flow for this contingency is unknown at this time. The total of “owner’s” contingency
for all three of these grants is $1.66 million. In the event these grantees determine a need
for contingency as they implement their projects, the City may fund the determined
amount in advance of Tranche 2, as necessary, with a formally approved “Intent to
Reimburse”.
Further, funding recommendations for the Miami Beach Classical Music Festival is yet to
be finalized. At the February 2023 Commission meeting, the Mayor and Commission
approved use of the Miscellaneous funding category for the Miami Beach Classical Music
Festival but referred the determination of the amount of funding to the GOB Oversight
Committee to recommend the level of funding. The GOB Oversight Committee is
scheduled to review at their March 30, 2023 meeting.
In concert with the analysis of Tranche 1 funding recommendations, bond counsel has
been evaluating the tax-exempt versus taxable components of the projects in the bond
issue. This analysis takes into account the following factors:
• Tax-exempt Bonds – May be issued by and used to finance capital expenditures
for facilities owned, operated, and used by a state or local governmental entity or
qualified non-governmental entity, depending on:
1. The type of tax-exempt bond that is issued;
2. The type of use by non-governmental entity; and
3. Whether the proceeds are treated as a grant to the non-governmental entity for
federal income tax purposes.
• Taxable Bonds– May be issued to finance capital expenditures for facilities that do
not qualify for tax-exempt bonds due to several factors such as amount of private
use, private ownership or type of project being financed.
• Tax-exempt status - Dependent upon compliance with certain rules and
regulations during the term of the tax-exempt bonds or bonds issued to refinance
such bonds, if any. Failure to comply with such rules and regulations can cause
the tax-exempt bonds to be determined as a taxable bond retroactively to the date
of issuance.
After issuance, if any projects are deemed taxable, it may be difficult or expensive to
refinance tax-exempt bonds.
Attachment 2 presents the estimated tax-exempt and taxable components of the Tranche
1 recommended issue. This continues to be refined and will be finalized prior to the bond
issuance.
The estimated annual impact to property owners for the issuance of Tranche 1 is $15 per
$100,000 of taxable value.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recognizes that the Art and Culture bonds projects will be
transformative to Miami Beach. They will significantly elevate our museums, performance
venues, artistic playgrounds, senior/cultural centers, botanical garden, the future aquatic
sculpture park and related artist/workforce housing.
As such, it is recommended that the Tranche 1 project funding be forwarded to the April
28, 2023 Commission meeting for hearing and approval. This will allow for sale of the
bonds and receipt of proceeds by summer 2023, resulting in timely implementation of the
projects.

A Message From Michael Rossi
Founder And Artistic Director
Dear Esteemed Patron,
Thank you for your consideration of becoming involved in the
Miami Music Festival. Our mission is to provide affordable,
world-class musical instruction and innovative performance
experiences to young artists, and we are excited that you are
considering joining us. MMF’s goal is to continuously push
the boundaries of live theater performances to engage future
generations of classical music lovers through cutting edge
technology.
In July 2022, MMF produced a groundbreaking production of
Das Rheingold by Richard Wagner in a never-before-seen
audiovisual experience. Audience members were completely
immersed in the scenes of the opera with 360-degree projections
using state-of-the-art projection mapping technologies. It was
the first time an opera was combined with innovative projection mapping technology to bring
music into the modern era.
The potential programming from our adaptation of projection mapping technology is limitless
- ranging from outdoor park concerts to full-scale opera performances and more immersive
experiences. The ability to use building facades and other outdoor venues reduces barriers
to access and allows community members of all ages and backgrounds to attend. Using new
state-of-the-art technology, we can blend different artistic genres and forms to provide enticing
experiences for a wide variety of attendees.
We are proud of MMF’s overwhelming success in pioneering new ways to present classical
music and eagerly look to the future as we explore the limits of our imaginations.
We hope that you will join us.
Sincerely,
Michael Rossi
Artistic Director and Founder
Miami Music Festival
“Most amazing production EVER! Incredible 65 piece orchestra, professional opera
singers and a Conductor who inspires everyone to be their absolute best!”

of the Performing Arts Member for the John F. Kennedy Performing Arts Center.
360° IMMERSIVE OPERA
THE FIRST OF ITS KIND
Projection mapping is a technological innovation that overlaps video onto
all surfaces in a given space, turning ordinary objects - such as stages,
buildings, and roads - into interactive displays. Every surface can become
a canvas, with graphic projections that play off the surface’s shape and
textures to create a delightful experience of light and illusion. In indoor
theater settings, audiences sit in the center of a room with continuous
360-degree graphic display wrapped around the room, coming to life as they
interact with performers and other production elements.
What is
Projection Mapping?
A moveable image can travel the full scope of the landscape where an
element such as a horse can gallop around the entire room similar to
the Van Gogh Immersive Experience.
Since its 2013 inception, Miami Music Festival (MMF) has been
proud to establish Miami Beach as a premier destination for elite
young classical musicians to train and perform. While the next
generation of classical artists come to Miami Beach to receive in-
struction from an assembly of world-class faculty, the community
benefits from accessible public concerts featuring top talent along-
side many of classical music’s greatest living performers in reper-
toire rarely heard in South Florida. After unprecedented growth in
its nine years, MMF continues to build on its success by expanding
programming, increasing community outreach, and creating unique
classical opportunities that bring pride to our vibrant and cultured
city.

Future Projection
Mapping Experiences
Projection Mapping Technology has the
capability of rebranding and revitalizing the
performing arts to be more accessible
to all generations.
360° Immersive Productions
Each year, MMF will
create new, immersive
productions to be
premiered in Miami Beach
before being packaged
and performed in various
venues across the United
States.
Productions will take
place at various venues
in Miami Beach as part of
our annual summer music
festival.
MMF can also adapt the
technology to various
performance ensembles,
including Ballet
Productions, Symphony
Concerts, and Broadway
Shows.
Expansion to other cities
Outdoor Parks and Building Performances
Like the Van Gogh Immersive Experience, which is now in 29 cities across the United States, MMF Projection Mapped performances can be reproduced in various spaces across the country with different opera production companies. Using projections as the main scenery and design elements, the production is highly mobile and a lower-cost option than traditional operatic productions with full scenic sets.
In coordination with the
City of Miami Beach,
MMF will bring arts
and music out of the
concert hall and into the
community by creating
free, immersive concert
experiences using the
facades of any building in
the City of Miami Beach.
Each building facade can
become an interactive
display, transforming
the entire city into an
audiovisual arts display.

Go Bond Proposal
Proposed Project and Objective
Funds will be used by the Miami Beach Classical Music Festival (MBCMF) to invest in projection mapping
projectors and production equipment, including stage, lighting, and audio, to transform (potentially all) City of
Miami Beach venues and facilities into immersive performance experiences for audiences. Normandy
Fountain, Lummus Park, Collins Park, Pride Park, The North Beach Bandshell, our historic Art Deco District
Facades, and the dunes all instantly become performance venues for the benefit of all Miami Beach residents
and visitors. MBCMF will bring arts and music out into the community with access to free immersive concert
experiences for City of Miami Beach audiences.

Organization Background
The mission of the Miami Beach Classical Music Festival is to provide affordable, world-class musical
instruction and ground-breaking performance experiences to young artists and the South Florida region.
Since its 2013 inception, Miami Beach Classical Music Festival (MBCMF) has been proud to establish Miami
Beach as a premier destination for young classical musicians to train and perform. While the next generation of
classical artists come to Miami Beach to receive instruction from an assembly of world-class faculty, the
community benefits from accessible public concerts featuring top talent alongside many of classical music’s
greatest living performers in repertoire rarely heard in South Florida. After unprecedented growth in its nine
years, MBCMF continues to build on its success by expanding programming, increasing community outreach,
and creating unique classical opportunities that bring pride to our vibrant and cultured city.
Use of Funds
Funds will be used to invest in projection mapping projectors and production equipment, including stage,
lighting, and audio, to transform common City of Miami Beach venues and facilities into fully immersive
concert arts experiences for audiences. MBCMF will bring arts and music out into the community with access
to free immersive experiences for City of Miami Beach audiences.
Projection mapping is a technological innovation that overlaps video onto all surfaces in a given space, turning
ordinary objects - such as stages, buildings, and roads - into interactive displays. Every surface can become a
canvas, with graphic projections that play off the surface’s shape and textures to create a delightful experience

degree graphic display wrapped around the room, coming to life as they interact with performers and other
production elements. A moveable image can travel the full scope of the landscape where an element such as a
horse can gallop around the entire room similar to the Van Gogh Immersive Experience. Outdoor projects will
include converting an entire city block into a virtual landscape by using multiple buildings as an interactive
backdrop.
MBCMF’s projections combined with a full symphonic orchestra and singers will create an audiovisual
narrative where the video is combined with or triggered by live music from our performances. MBCMF is

working with the City Manager’s office to find a suitable City location for the storage and maintenance of the
equipment.
Estimated Project Timeline
Project is ready to begin upon receipt of funds from the GO Bond, with completion in 6 months.
Benefit to Taxpayers
These improvements will further enhance the image of Miami Beach as a sophisticated artistic destination,
increasing residents' quality of life by providing unique indoor and outdoor cultural activations throughout the
community. The potential programming from these improvements is limitless - ranging from weekly parks
concerts to full scale opera performances and more immersive experiences. The ability to use building facades
and other outdoor venues reduces barriers for access and allows community members of all ages and
backgrounds to attend. By using new, state-of-the-art technology we can blend different artistic genres and
forms to provide enticing experiences for a wide variety of attendees.
If GO Bond is not successful, how will improvements be funded. How do the capital requests compare to
past fundraising efforts?
Without GO Bond Funding, the proposed improvements will not be funded. Through grant funding MBCMF is
likely to present a smaller, scaled-down version of these improvements only in private, indoor settings.
