ANALYSIS
The City currently offers certain programs and activities not supported through the general
operating budget, but by outside agency grants and self-supporting user fee programs. Funding
from these sources will be utilized as follows:
Resort Tax· $59,507,000
This fund operates for the collection of the special tax levied citywide on food, beverage and
room rents used to support tourism related activities. This function, which operates under the
direction of the Finance Department and the Office of Internal Audit, is responsible for ensuring
that hotels, restaurants, bars and other establishments which serve food and beverages for
consumption on its premises, comply with Section 5.03 of the City Charter, as amended, as it
related to the reporting, and collection of resort taxes to the City.
An allocation for "operations" provides for all collection and audit expenses associated with
administering the Resort Tax function and are charged directly to this Special Revenue Fund.
Included in this allocation is funding for seven (7) FTE positions and associated operating
support totaling approximately $1,141,000.

Page 2 of 6
The allocation to the General Fund for Fiscal Year 2013/14 of approximately $32.97 million pays
for tourist related services and costs provided or managed by General Fund Departments.
Based on an outside consultant study conducted in 2010 using FY 2007/08 actual costs, it is
estimated that there are approximately $41.7 million in eligible resort tax expenditures in the
General Fund, net of South Pointe tourism eligible costs. This funding supports public safety
programs including our ocean rescue, police services on Lincoln Road, Ocean Drive/Lummus
Park, Collins Avenue, Washington Avenue, ATV officers, Boardwalk security, special traffic
enforcement and special event staffing; and fire rescue units in tourist and visitor areas. The
funding also supports code compliance services to respond to evening entertainment areas and
provides for a portion of the operational costs of the Tourism and Cultural Development.
The Fiscal Year 2013/14 Resort Tax budget also includes an allocation to the Greater Miami
Convention and Visitors Bureau (GMCVB) of approximately $5.3 million, $1.2 million for debt
service, $2.3 million to the Miami Beach Visitor and Convention Center (VCA), $173,000 for a
local Miami Beach marketing campaign to be augmented with funds from the GMCVB, the VCA,
and the Cultural Arts Council (CAC); and including $75,000 for a grant to the FIU-Wolfsonian
over two years to provide a master plan for the Museum site that will be used to access $10
million in Miami-Dade County General Obligation Bond funding for expanding and revitalizing
their facilities on Washington Avenue and Lennox. Further, the 2013/14 Resort Tax Budget
maintains funding for tourism-related economic development activities in North Beach that were
initiated in FY 2011/12; provides $230,000 for holiday decoration (an enhancement of $65,000
from the FY2012/13 budget); funds $100,000 for the sponsorship fee to help offset marketing
and advertising expenses associated with the Ms. USA or equivalent event; funds $2.8 million
for enhancing the outcomes from major events such as Memorial Day, including management,
Goodwill Ambassadors, and $165,000 in Administrative Fees to the General Fund for
reimbursement of support provided by General Fund administrative departments.
The proceeds of the additional one percent (1 percent) tax are used as follows. Fifty percent of
the amount earned is committed to the payment of a portion of the debt service on the Miami
Beach Redevelopment Agency-City Center/Historic Convention Village Bonds. These bonds
were used for the development, improvement and construction of certain public areas including
a portion of the Cultural Center facilities located within the City Center District.
The remaining fifty percent of the 1 percent tax budget also reflects the approved allocation
method for the Quality of Life funding, which includes the 25 percent for the arts, and to fund
Quality of Life capital projects in North Beach (25 percent), Middle Beach (25 percent), and
South Beach (25 percent), as well as various art and cultural programs or the maintenance and
enhancement of Miami Beach's tourist related areas. Please see Attachment "A" for the
revenue and expenditure detail budget.

$602,000
The Art in Public Places (AiPP) Ordinance {Ordinance No. 95-2985) was adopted in 1995. The
ordinance was created to "enhance the aesthetic environment of the City of Miami Beach by
including works of art on public property within the City and in City construction projects." The
AiPP Ordinance was amended in May 2004 to clarify the definition of terms for eligible
construction projects for funding as well as the policy and procedures for appropriations. The
AiPP Guidelines were also adopted by the City Commission at that time.
The AiPP program is funded by 1 ~ percent of all hard costs of City projects, including new
construction, additions, and costs for construction of joint private/public projects. The fund is
used for the commission or acquisition of works of art; conservation and maintenance of works
of art; research and evaluation of works of art; printing and distribution of related materials; and
administration. The FY 2013/14 AiPP budget of $729,000 is funded from capital budget
appropriations in the amount of $729,000.

The City of Miami Beach Tourism and Hospitality Scholarship Program began in 2003 in
partnership with the Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau (GMCVB), SMG and
Centerplate. Contributions to the City's scholarship program were contractually required of the
three (3) entities. During the GMCVB's contract renewal in 2004, the requirement was removed
from their contract. In September of 2008, the City replaced SMG with Global Spectrum.
Global Spectrum and Centerplate currently partner with the City on this program and contribute
$15,000 and $20,000 respectively annually. There is also a carry forward balance of $107,000
available.
The scholarship program is geared toward Miami Beach residents or graduates of Miami Beach
Senior High School who are enrolled or are planning to enroll in post-secondary education and
have expressed interest in the food and hospitality industry (as demonstrated by coursework
and extracurricular activities). Since the inception of the program, $219,550 has been awarded
to more than 44 different Miami Beach students.

Red Light Cameras -$420,000
Since the City's Red Light Camera Photo Enforcement Program went into effect on April
15, 201 0 crashes have decreased at the 9 intersections where the cameras have been
installed. Due to the previous revisions to State law regulating red light camera photo
enforcement, the number of Notice of Violations has been trending downward over the
last two (2) years. However, effective July 1, 2013, the most recent change in State law
regulating red light camera photo enforcement went into effect, and now requires a
complete stop before making a right turn. Since July 1, 2013, the City has experienced a
marked increase in the number of Notice of Violations.
Based on the changes in State law, municipalities with red light camera programs are
required to fund local hearing officers for drivers who get violation notices and want to
appeal them. The FY 2013/14 expenditure budget includes $49,000 for a Clerk position
and funding for a Special Master. These additional costs are offset by new hearing
appeal fee revenues.

The Emergency 911 funds were previously budgeted in the Citywide (General Fund}
accounts. Beginning with the FY 2012/13 budget, the administration has made a policy
decision to create a separate fund for the E-911 budget, and remove it from the Citywide
Accounts. This will allow for more discrete reconciliation of revenues and expenses.

the continuation of these projects and activities provided by the City.
