RECOMMENDATION The Administration recommends the approval of the Special Event Sponsorship Program recommendations for fiscal year 2024/2025 for eight (8) special event organizers in the total amount of$324,157. BACKGROUNDIHISTORY The Miami Beach Special Event Sponsorship Program (the"Program")was created on June 23, 2021, via Resolution No. 2021-31742 to assist the City in the review of event sponsorship and fee waiver requests.The Program process is formalized and allows the Administ�ation to properly anatyze and budget special event sponsorship requests. The Program is available for events held in Miami Beach. The purpose is to provide financial assistance and in-kind support to high-quality local festivals, special events, community events, or programming that promate community engagement and elevates Miami Beach as a worfd- class tourist destination. � The City of Miami Beach considers special events that: . provide unique and engaging experiences ihat increase resident quality of life; • increase tourism by hotel rooms bfock contract(s)and targeted tourist attendance; • promote Miami Beach as a national and international tourist destination; • accessible to the general public; and • sfrengthens Miami Beach by enhancing the City's Cultural Events. The City's current sponsorship process is within the City Code: 5ection 12-6 of the City Code defines a sponsorship as any contract, grant, or other commitment by the City to fund an event, either through: • A cash or in-kind contribution, in any amount; or • A reimbursement for City special event-related costs(police,fice, sanitation); or • A waiver of special event permit fees(including user fees,admin fees,and square footage fees), in excess of$25,000. Page 816 of 1862 Docusign Envelope ID:056D7D24-F02F-4EC3-86B4-2A2F2F81922F Section 12-7(c) of the City Code provides that "in considering approval of a Sponsorship for an event, the City Commission may consider: • whether the event organizer has exercised good-faith, diligent efforts to apply for grant funding that may be available from the City's Visitor and Convention Authority ("VCA")o� Cultural Arts Council ("CAC"); • the Event organizer's history and pertormance in delivering quality Events; • any benefits being directly provided to the genera! public with respecf to the Event, such as free or discounted tickets to persons residing in the City of Miami Beach, seniors, veterans, or members of disadvantaged groups; • whether the event is accessible to the general public (either as a ticketed event or otherwise); the demonstrable economic impacts associated with the Event; • the demonstrable media commitments secured by the Event organizer for the Event; or the efforts undertaken by the Event organizer to mitigate any quality-of-life impacts associated with the Event, including noise, littering, traffic, or parking impacts associated with an Event. tn Section 12-7 of the City Code, sponsorship requests are generally to be reviewed well in advance of the date of each event,either as part of the City Gommission's annual budget process, or through applications to the VCA or CAC. Any sponsorship request that faNs outside of the standard review process is subject to Finance and Economic Resiliency Committee ("FERC") advisory review, as well as a heightened 5/7ths approval requirement by the City Commission. The 5pecial Event Sponsorship Process addresses these elements and provides a platform for event organizers to apply for city sponsorship in advance and allows the Administration time to do proper due diligence and budget planning for the fiscal year, while also allowing for opportunities to curate a fiscal year of engaging, unique, entertaining, educational, and fun - community events to benefit Miami Beach residents, businesses, visitors and cutture. ANALYSIS Since its inception, the Administration has witnessed an increased interest in the Program, both from producers of large-scale events and community event organizers. To date, the Tourism and Culture Department (TCD) has managed three cycles of the Program. At the July 26, 2023, City Commission meeting the Mayor and City Commissioners voted to approve the revisions to the Special Event Guidelines via Resolution No. 2023-32701.

At the September 12, 2023 City Commission meeting, the Mayor and City Commission voted via Resolution No. 2023-32745 to amend and restate the City's Special Event Sponsorship Program requirements by (1? creating two distinct event sponsorship categories, including minimum requirements and evaluation criteria, for "Major Special Events" and "Community Engagement events," and an evaluation process to review and score sponsorship requests based upon weighted criteria, and (2)estabfishing maximum sponsorship funding amounts per event.

First launched in 2021, The Juneteenth Experience is a multidisciplinary celebration of our country's second independence day, Juneteenth, and has been steadity growing into one of the most anticipated Juneteenth events in Miami-Dade County and it has been an honor to have it praduced with the beautiful city of Miami Beach. Juneteenth—alsa known as Freedom Day—celebrates the emancipation of those who were enslaved in the United States. Building on three sold-out Juneteenth Experience performances in 2021, 2022, and 20�3, Hued Songs is crystallizing a strong Juneteenth tradition across Miami-Dade with a multidisciplinary Juneteenth performancelcelebration. 2025 will mark the fifth annual Juneteenth Experience, produced in partnership with Miami New Drama 8� the City of Miami Beach at the Colony Theatre. While certainly this performance honors an important day in our history, it champions tenets of equity acrass a multitude of issue areas. Access to the arts is an equity issue. Despite 1/4 of South Florida's population identifying as Black, only a handful of Black-led and -centered arts organizations means they're insu�ciently represented. Hued Songs centers local Black and Brown artists and offers Miami's highly-diverse Black communities spaces to feel culturally a�rmed, celebrate their community and gain more representation in the arts—while ensuring all audiences know they are welcome, even if they don't share that lived experience. Our goal is ta grow this performance and experience into a city-wide artistic celebration of this important and grounding holiday. With your support, we can get there. Thank you in advance for your consideration. Kunya C Rowley Executive Artistic D�rectar.

Live Arts Miami is an action-driven, peop(e-centered platform fo� powerful performances, impactful community programs and learning experiences that spark dialogue, raise awareness around pressing issues, and open minds and hea�ts in all who take part. lAM is a place for artists, community members, and students to come together as one. MUNDO Miami Beach aspires to kindle the cultural spirit of the city through an exhilarating one-day extravaganza held at the iconic Miami Beach Bandshell on January 25, 2025. D�awing inspiration from the acclaimed GlobalFest New York, this festival gua�antees to submerge participants in a dynamic tapestry of inelodies, beats, and customs from across the globe. Boasting a diverse array of performers and hands-on workshops, the event extends a warm invitation to both locals and tourists, encouraging them to revel in the opulence of global music right in the heart of North Beach. The festival prides itself on a thoughtfully curated lineup featuring artists who represent an array of musical genres and cultural roots, with a particular focus on those hailing from Latin America. Beyond the musical experience, this festival functions as a conduit for community involvement and cultural interchange through on-site workshops conducted by visiting artists. These workshops extend invitations to students, fostering connections with diverse expressions and cultivating cross-cultural unde�standing and appreciation. We are in discussians with GlobalFest New York, which has been producing an amazing event of outstanding caliber since 20Q3, to create a partnership to benefit MUNDO Miami Beach. This partnership would take advantage of routing opportunities for the high caliber artists already in New Yo�k for GlobalFest, by featuring them in the MUNDO Miami Beach lineup while already in the United States. We look forward bringing this project to life! Thank you for your consideration. Regards, �� _.
