Fiscal Year 2025 Third Quarter Analysis
The purpose of this Letter to the Commission (L TC} is to provide the Mayor and City Commission with
an update on the status of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2025 operating budget as of the third quarter, which
ended June 30, 2025, and to provide projections through the end of the current fiscal year ending
September 30, 2025.
It is important to emphasize that this analysis is a preliminary projection based on actual data for the
first nine (9) months of the current fiscal year, as well as any additional data and information that may
be available. While these projections are not a definitive representation of trends for the remainder of
the current fiscal year, they do provide an initial glimpse of potential areas of opportunity and/or
concern. Assumptions have been made relating to both revenues and expenditures that will
continuously be refined as more data and information become available.
In addition, based on the directive from the Mayor and City Commission adopted through Resolution
No. 2025-33759 on June 25, 2025, the Administration continues to assess and identify cost-saving
and efficiency opportunities across all departments. These efforts are being approached with careful
consideration to ensure that the level of service provided to residents and businesses remains
unaffected. Examples include hiring freezes on non-essential vacant positions, as well as the
Information Technology Department negotiating a new Enterprise Agreement with Microsoft that aims
to either maintain current or reduce costs despite the City's growing technological needs and increased
usage.
SUMMARY
As of the third quarter of the current fiscal year (FY 2025), revenue and expenditure projections for the
General Fund through September 30, 2025 reflect a projected year-end surplus of approximately $17.0
million, which is an increase of $10.8 million over the surplus of $6.2 million that was projected as of
the second quarter of the current fiscal year. The Resort Tax budget reflects a projected year-end
surplus of approximately $0.9 million, which is an increase of approximately $1.2 million compared to
the $0.3 million shortfall projected as of the second quarter of the current fiscal year.
Considering the City's current financial outlook, the Administration recommends that the Mayor and
City Commission strategically evaluate key factors that will have an impact on the General Fund
budget when considering all decisions with fiscal implications, while keeping in mind that any excess
one-time funds play a critical role in closing budget gaps for key capital projects, ensuring infrastructure
and public assets are maintained and improved.
Of the $17.0 million General Fund surplus projected as of the third quarter of the current fiscal year, it
is recommended that approximately $1.4 million, which is based on the additional combined FY 2025
projected surplus from the Miami Beach and Normandy Shores Golf Courses' operations, be set aside
and transferred to the Capital Pay-As-You-Go (PayGo) Fund to fund a portion of the Miami Beach Golf
Course Renovation project. This project currently has an estimated cost totaling $9.2 million, of which
$3.3 million has been funded as of the current fiscal year.

After accounting for the item above, the Administration is recommending that a portion of the remaining
General Fund surplus of approximately $15.6 million be set aside to partially fund the General Fund
required reserve levels and targets. The projected amount currently needed to maintain this reserve
fully funded based on the proposed FY 2026 General Fund budget of $483.4 million is $6.8 million, of
which $3.1 million is budgeted in the current year, resulting in a difference of approximately $3.7 million
that would be needed.
The remaining projected General Fund surplus of $11.9 million is recommended to be set aside for
capital project funding needs, which may include the purchase of the property located at 7605 Collins
Avenue from the Building Department for approximately $6.5 million, to be discussed at the end of the
fiscal year.
Similarly, it is recommended that the projected FY 2025 surplus of $0.9 million in the Resort Tax
budget as of the third quarter be set aside to fund additional required Resort Tax reserve levels and
targets.

Remaining Projected Surplus/(Shortfall) as of Q3 $11,899,750 $906,000
RESERVES
The City's General Fund reserve as of September 30, 2024, is $114.0 million, which is the equivalent
of three (3) months, or 25%, of the adopted FY 2025 General Fund budget of $456.2 million. The
current reserve policy for the General Fund reflects a requirement of two (2) months, with a goal of
three (3) months, pursuant to Resolution No. 2024-33340, which was adopted by the Mayor and City
Commission on October 30, 2024.
The 2% Resort Tax reserve as of September 30, 2024, is $38.3 million, which is the equivalent of six
(6) months, or 50%, of the adopted FY 2025 2% Resort Tax budget of $76.6 million. The current
reserve policy for the 2% Resort Tax budget reflects a minimum of two (2) months, with a goal of six
(6) months, pursuant to Resolution No. 2019-30664 that was adopted by the Mayor and City
Commission on January 16, 2019.
Additional funding requirements for these reserves will continue to be re-evaluated and refined as part
of the year-end process for FY 2025 and finalization of the FY 2026 budgets, since the required reserve
levels and targets are adjusted annually based on the final annual operating budgets adopted pursuant
to the City's current reserve policies.
THIRD QUARTER ANALYSIS
All General Fund, Enterprise, Internal Service, and Special Revenue Funds budgets, including the City
Center RDA and North Beach CRA budgets, are projected to be at or below their current FY 2025
amended budgets as of year-end with revenues projected to be equivalent to or in excess of
expenditures, except for specific General Fund departments, the Convention Center Enterprise Fund,
the Information Technology Internal Services Fund, and the Normandy Shores and Resort Tax Special
Revenue Funds budgets that will be detailed further in the analysis below.

GENERAL FUND
Third Quarter Status
An analysis of actual operating revenues and expenses for the period October 1, 2024 through June
30, 2025 reflects an operating surplus of approximately $101.1 million. While the actual surplus as of
June 30, 2025 may seem unusual compared to the projection for the current fiscal year ending
September 30 , 2025, it should be noted that the City receives a large percentage of its annual ad
valorem property tax revenues during the first several months of the fiscal year and there is often a
lag in processing of expenditures, particularly those that are billed by outside entities.
Ad valorem property tax revenues represent approximately 61.0% of the total General Fund revenues
budgeted based on the adopted FY 2025 General Fund budget, and 66.8% of actual General Fund
revenues that have been collected during the first nine months of the current fiscal year.
As of June 30, 2025, total revenues collected in the General Fund were 89.3% of the current amended
budget, or $418.0 million, primarily due to the large percentage of property tax revenues collected
during the first nine months of the current fiscal year. Conversely, expenditures were 67.7% of the
current amended budget, or $316.9 million, since there are often delays in the receipt and processing
of expenditure until the close of the fiscal year.

Year-End Projections
Year-end operating revenues and expenditures projected through September 30, 2025 provide a
realistic indication of any estimated year-end surpluses or shortfalls as of this point in time. While the
actual revenues and expenses reflected in this analysis are as of June 30, 2025, these projections do
incorporate more current information that may be available.
A summary of the preliminary General Fund revenues and expenditures as of June 30, 2025, with
projections through September 30, 2025, reflects a projected year-end surplus of approximately $17 .0
million. The Administration recommends that approximately $1.4 million be set aside and transferred
to the Capital Pay-As-You-Go (PayGo) Fund to fund a portion of the Miami Beach Golf Course
Renovation project based on the additional combined surplus of the Miami Beach and Normandy
Shores Golf Courses' operations projected as of the third quarter for the current fiscal year.
This would result in a remaining projected year-end surplus of approximately $15.6 million, of which
$3.7 million is recommended to be set aside to maintain the General Fund required reserve levels and
targets totaling 25%, or three months, fully funded based on the proposed FY 2026 General Fund
budget of $483.4 million, and the remaining projected surplus of $11.9 million to be set aside for capital
project funding needs, which may include the purchase of the property located at 7605 Collins Avenue
from the Building Department for approximately $6 .5 million, to be discussed at the end of the fiscal
year.

As of June 30, 2025, actual operating revenues collected in the General Fund were approximately
89.3% of the current amended budget, or $418 .0 million, with operating revenues through the fiscal
year ending September 30, 2025 projected at approximately $477.5 million, which is 2.0%, or $9.2
million, above the current amended budget.
General Fund revenues by category projected to exceed budget or with significant variances to budget
in excess of 10%, or $300,000, are further explained below:
Ad Valorem Property Taxes -This category reflects property taxes that are levied and collected
by the City based on the operating millage rate that was adopted by the Mayor and City
Commission for FY 2025 of 5.8522 mills and the City's property values for FY 2025, which is
projected to be above the current amended budget by 0.4%, or $1.1 million, based on current
year trends. It is important to note that the City's budgeted property tax revenues include a
discount of 5%, as permitted per Section 200.065, Florida Statutes, to account for early payment
discounts, delinquencies, and adjustments for appeals, etc.
Other Taxes -This category includes revenues from franchise fees for gas and electricity, as
well as utility taxes for electricity, gas, and telephone and is projected to be below the current
amended budget by 5.6%, or $1.8 million, primarily due to franchise fees and utility taxes from
electricity trending lower based on usage/consumption.
Licenses and Permits -This category includes revenues from business tax receipts, outdoor
dining concessions, and Fire, Planning, and Public Works permit services and activities and is
projected to be above the current amended budget by $6.4 million. This is primarily due to
additional revenues from Fire, Planning, and Public Works permit review services and activities
that are trending higher than anticipated from ongoing real estate and construction activity in the
City. It is important to note, however, that the projection for the current year includes one-time
permit-related revenues in excess of $6.0 million related to two large projects within the City,
which are the Miami Beach Convention Center Hotel and the Perigon.
Intergovernmental -This category includes revenues from local option gas tax, motor fuel tax,
sales tax proceeds, and half-cent sales tax proceeds that are received from Miami-Dade County
and the State of Florida and is projected to be 6.7%, or $948,000, below the current amended
budget primarily due to sales tax, half-cent sales tax, and motor fuel tax proceeds trending lower
than budgeted based on current economic activity.
Charges for Services-This category includes revenues from the operations of the Miami Beach
and Normandy Shores golf courses, activities and programs offered by the Parks and Recreation
Department, such as after school and summer classes, and public safety, passport,
ambulance/rescue, and lot clearing services, and is projected to be above the current amended
i'l
I
l'i
Letter to Commission -Fiscal Year 2025 Third Quarter Analysis
Page 5 of 17
budget by 12.7%, or $2.2 million, primarily due to increased revenues from the operations of both
the Miami Beach and Normandy Shores golf courses that continue to trend higher than originally
anticipated based on usage and demand.
Fines and Forfeits -This category includes revenues from traffic fines, violations and false alarm
fees, and code enforcement violations and is projected to be above the current amended budget
by $4 .7 million, primarily due to the one-time revenues that were collected by the City for
outstanding General Fund violations, invoices, and special magistrate fines, etc. associated with
the Deauville settlement agreement that was approved by the Mayor and City Commission on
June 27, 2025, of which approximately $4.3 million was for General Fund related items.
Interest -This category is comprised of various sources of interest income derived from the
City's current investments and is projected to be $3.4 million, below the current amended budget.
This is due to the implementation of a change in the methodology utilized to allocate interest
income across the City's various funds. The implementation of this change in methodology is
anticipated to result in a lower projected amount for the current fiscal year in the General Fund .
Despite this change implemented in the current fiscal year, the City's overall interest income is
projected to remain relatively flat compared to the budget since the total amount of interest income
projected for the current fiscal year is not projected to experience a major decrease, but simply a
shift in its allocation between the City's various funds .
Rents and Leases -This category includes revenues from various rentals and leases of City
owned properties . FY 2025 revenues are projected to be 11.6%, or $938,000, above the current
amended budget primarily due to revenues from several of the City's leases trending higher than
budgeted since revenues collected by the City for some of its leases and agreements are based
on a percentage of sales, such as the Miami Beach Marina, Pier Park, and Smith and Wollensky .
For a detail of all General Fund revenues by category, refer to the attached Exhibit A.
Operating Expenditures
As of June 30, 2025, actual expenses were 67.7%, or $316.9 million, of the current amended budget
with operating expenditures through the fiscal year ending September 30, 2025, projected at
approximately $460.5 million, which is 1.7%, or $7.8 million, below the current amended budget.
General Fund expenditures by department projected to exceed budget or with significant variances to
the budget in excess of 10%, or $300,000, are further explained below:
City Attorney -The City Attorney's Office is projected to be below the current amended budget
by 5.4%, or $450,000 , primarily due to projected savings in personnel services expenditures, which
stem from several vacant positions that have remained unfilled during the current fiscal year due
to challenges in the recruitment of qualified candidates. The City Attorney's Office continues to be
actively engaged in recruiting qualified candidates to fill these roles, strategically aligning hires
with the evolving needs and priorities of the department.

City Manager -The City Manager's Office, similar to the City Attorney's Office, is projected to be
below the current amended budget by 8.2%, or $389,000. This is mainly due to projected savings
in personnel expenditure resulting from budgeted positions that have remained vacant during the
current fiscal year. While the City Manager's Office continues working towards filling some of these
positions, two positions have been identified in the G.O. Bond Division that are not anticipated to
be filled that are proposed to be eliminated as part of the FY 2026 budget development process
based on operational efficiencies that have been identified where costs could be reduced in the
City Manager's Office without compromising the level of services.

of trying to fill, and lower-than-anticipated operating expenses for items such as contracted
temporary labor and professional services, as well as contracted maintenance, used by the
department, as needed, for various purposes. These factors, combined, are anticipated to
generate projected savings as of year-end for the department in the current fiscal year.

Capital Improvement Projects -The department is projected to be 7.6%, or $506,000, below
the current amended budget primarily due to projected savings in personnel services expenditures
resulting from several budgeted full-time positions that the department has been unable to fill or is
in the process of filling based on the current evolving needs of the department. The department
has been attempting to fill these budgeted positions; however, the volume of candidates that are
both interested and qualified has been very limited due to the competitive labor market.

Parks & Recreation -The department is projected to be below the current amended budget by
0.9%, or $449,000, as a result of several staffing-related factors. First, a number of positions within
the department have remained vacant for an extended period due to challenges in recruitment that
stem from the currently competitive labor market. Second, a freeze has been implemented on
specific non-essential budgeted positions to strategically manage costs and prioritize critical
functions. Together, these factors are expected to result in current year projected savings at year-
end. It is important to note that while this will provide short-term savings, the department will
continue to evaluate staffing needs to ensure long-term operational effectiveness.

Public Works -The department is projected to be below the current amended budget by 3.0%,

These vacancies have proven difficult to fill because of factors such as a competitive labor market,
specialized skill requirements, and limited applicant pools. While these unfilled positions present
operational challenges, they are projected to result in current year projected savings at year-end.
The department continues to explore targeted recruitment strategies to address these gaps.

Fire -The department is projected to be above the current amended budget by 1.1 %, or $1.4
million, resulting primarily from additional personnel expenditures that are associated with the
collective bargaining agreements that were approved by the Mayor and City Commission during
FY 2025. While the department is projected to exceed its current amended FY 2025 budget,
funding totaling approximately $7.7 million was budgeted in a centralized account within the
Citywide Accounts budget in the General Fund to address the estimated impacts of the collective
bargaining agreements that were pending approval at the time the FY 2025 budgets were adopted
by the Mayor and City Commission . As a result, should these projections be realized at year-end,
a budget amendment will be recommended as part of the year-end process to realign funding that
was allocated in the Citywide Accounts budget for the estimated impacts of the collective
bargaining agreements to the Fire department budget accordingly.

amended budget by 1.9%, or $2.9 million, resulting from additional personnel expenditures that
are associated with the collective bargaining agreements that were approved by the Mayor and
City Commission during FY 2025. In addition, the department is projected to exceed the FY 2025
overtime budget, due to several factors, including higher than anticipated expenditures for the
continuation of enhanced high police visibility throughout the City as a result of the attacks that
occurred in October 2023, in order to ensure public safety.
While the department is projected to exceed its current amended FY 2025 budget, funding totaling

Citywide Accounts -The Citywide Accounts budget in the General Fund represents a grouping
of budgeted expenditures that are related to the City's overall operations that are not readily
identifiable to any specific department. This category of accounts is projected to be 17.9%, or $7 .1
million, below the current amended budget, primarily due to the funding that was allocated to
address the estimated impacts of the collective bargaining agreements that were pending approval
at the time the FY 2025 budgets were adopted by the Mayor and City Commission. As a result of
the collective bargaining agreements that have been approved by the Mayor and City Commission
during FY 2025, the projected expenditures associated with the approved agreements are being
accounted for in each of the applicable General Fund departments' projections . Additionally,
approximately $0.6 million in savings is being projected in the budgeted General Fund contribution
to the Educational Initiatives Fund based on one-time funding that is projected to be available for
appropriation in the current fiscal year in the Education Initiatives Fund for education initiatives
that were approved by the Mayor and City Commission.

While the above-listed General Fund departments comprise those projected to exceed their current
amended budgets or with significant variances to budget in excess of 10.0%, or $300,000, all other
departments within the General Fund are projected to have savings at year-end that may be realigned
within the General Fund budget to address the projected department overages that were noted above
if these projections are realized as of year-end.

ENTERPRISE FUNDS
The City accounts for those goods and services provided by a particular department to external users
for which a fee is charged as Enterprise Funds. The City's Sanitation, Sewer, Storm Water, Water,
Parking, Building, and Convention Center operations comprise this category of Proprietary Funds.
Year-end operating revenue and expenditure projections through September 30, 2025 provide an
indication of anticipated year-end surpluses or shortfalls as of this point in time. Revenues for all
Enterprise Funds are projected to be equivalent to or in excess of expenditures as of year-end . In
addition, all Enterprise Funds budgets are projected to be under budget, with the exception of the
Convention Center Fund budget that is detailed further below.

An analysis of actual operating expenses for the period October 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025 reflects
that all Enterprise Funds have actual expenses that are less than three quarters of their current
amended budgets. It is important to note that this is not representative of trends for a full fiscal year,
as there is often a lag in the processing of expenditures, particularly those billed by outside entities for
services provided.

Convention Center -The Convention Center Fund budget is projected to be above the current
amended budget by approximately $5.3 million, or 10.7%, primarily due to an increase in the
number of events (98) that have been held or are currently anticipated to be held in the current
fiscal year compared to the 71 events that were originally anticipated when the FY 2025 budget
was developed last year. Although expenditures are projected to exceed the current amended
budget, revenues are projected to be above the current amended budget by approximately $9.1
million, or 18.3%, resulting in a projected additional surplus of approximately $3.8 million that
would be available to be set aside for the renewal and replacement of Convention Center assets
and/or future operating and other expenditure obligations should these projections be realized at
year-end. Due to changes in the scheduling of events, the surplus projected as of the third quarter
may still vary as of year-end; therefore, the Convention Center Fund's operations will continue to
be monitored over the coming months.
These projections will continue to be refined further as additional information becomes available.

INTERNAL SERVICES FUNDS
The City accounts for goods and services provided by one department to other departments on a cost
reimbursement basis as Internal Service Funds. Central Services, Fleet Management, Information
Technology, the Office of the Inspector General, Facilities Management, Risk Management (Self
Insurance), and Medical and Dental comprise this category of Proprietary Funds.
Year-end operating revenue and expenditure projections through September 30, 2025 provide an
indication of anticipated year-end surpluses or shortfalls as of this point in time. Similar to the
Enterprise Funds, revenues for all Internal Services Funds are projected to be equivalent to or in
excess of expenditures as of year-end. In addition, all Internal Services Funds budgets are projected
to be under budget, with the exception of the Information Technology Fund budget that is detailed
further below.

An analysis of actual operating revenues and expenses for the period October 1, 2024 through June
30, 2025 reflects that all Internal Services Funds have actual expenses that are less than three
quarters of their current amended budgets with the exception of Information Technology Fund budget
due to certain operating expenses that are incurred disproportionately in the early part of the fiscal
year, rather than following a uniform distribution throughout the fiscal year.
Similar to the Enterprise Funds, this is not representative of typical trends for a full fiscal year, as there
is often a lag in the processing of expenditure, particularly those that are billed by outside entities for
services provided.

Information Technology-The Information Technology Fund budget is projected to be 1.2%, or
$253,000, above the current amended budget resulting from a contractual dispute that began last
fiscal year and remained unresolved until the middle of the current fiscal year. The matter was
recently resolved, which resulted in unexpected expenditures being incurred in the current fiscal
year that were not budgeted. The department has been and continues to work on identifying
potential savings in other budgeted operating expenditures to mitigate the impact of these
unbudgeted expenditures. If this projection is realized at year end, the overage will be addressed
at year-end through the use of prior year fund balance that is available in the Information
Technology Fund.
These projections will continue to be refined as additional information becomes available.
SPECIAL REVENUE FUNDS
The City's Special Revenue Funds consist of revenues and expenditures which are legally restricted
or committed for specific purposes, other than debt service and/or capital projects. Special Revenue
Funds include Resort Tax, as well as Transportation and People's Transportation Plan (PTP) Fund
operations, 7th Street Garage operations, 5th & Alton Garage operations, the Tourism and Hospitality
Scholarship Program, Information and Communications Technology Fund, Education Initiatives Fund,
Franchise Waste Haulers and Sustainability Contributions, the Residential Housing and Homeless
Relocation Programs, Red Light Camera Program operations, Emergency 911 (E-911) Fund, Miami
Beach Cultural Arts Council (CAC), Festival of the Arts, Normandy Shores and the City's three Security
Guard Special Taxing Districts (Biscayne Point, Biscayne Beach, and Allison Island), Miami City Ballet,
Art in Public Places (AiPP) operations, Tree Preservation and Commemorative Tree Trust Fund,
Beachfront Concession Initiatives Program, Beach Renourishment, Resiliency, Sustainability and
Resiliency, and Biscayne Bay Protection Trust Funds, Police Confiscation Trust Funds (Federal and
State), Police Training and School Resources Fund, and the Adopt-a-Bench and Brick Paver
Programs.
An analysis of actual operating revenues and expenses for the period October 1, 2024 through June
30, 2025 reflects that all Special Revenue Funds have actual expenses that are less than three
quarters of their current amended budgets, with the exception of the People's Transportation Plan
(PTP) Fund, 5th & Alton Garage, and Police Training operations due to certain operating expenses
that are incurred more heavily in the early part of the fiscal year, rather than being evenly incurred
throughout the fiscal year. Similar to other funds, the actuals incurred through June 30, 2025 are not
typically representative of trends for a full fiscal year.
Year-end operating revenue and expenditure projections through September 30, 2025 provide a more
realistic indication of any anticipated year-end surpluses or shortfalls as of this point in time. While the
actual revenues and expenses are as of June 30, 2025, the year-end projections incorporate more
current information and data that may be available.
Revenues for all Special Revenue Funds are projected to be equivalent to or in excess of expenditures
as of year-end and all Special Revenue Funds budgets are projected to be under budget, except for
the Normandy Shores Fund that is further detailed below.
Normandy Shores -The Normandy Shores Local Government Neighborhood Improvement
District is projected to be 2. 7%, or $9,000 above the current amended budget due to unforeseen
damages to the gate that have led to additional repair costs. While current year expenditures are
projected to exceed the current year budget, the overage would be offset by increased
miscellaneous revenues projected in the current fiscal year if these projections are realized at year
end.

The City's Resort Tax budget is primarily supported by taxes collected pursuant to Chapter 67-930
(Section 6) of the Laws of Florida, as amended, and Section 5.03 of the City of Miami Beach Charter,
as amended. This legislation authorizes the use of Resort Taxes for the promotion of the tourism
industry, which includes, but is not restricted to City services in tourism areas and enhanced City
services during high impact periods, special events sponsorships, publicity, advertising, promotional
events, convention bureau activities, capital improvements and the maintenance of all physical assets
in connection therewith, and payment for the reasonable and necessary expenses of collecting,
handling, and processing of said tax.
2% Resort Tax
Based on actual collections for the current fiscal year from October 2024 to July 2025, total two percent
Resort Tax revenues for FY 2025 are projected to be approximately 2.3%, or $1.8 million, above the
current amended budget as of year-end, with the remaining months conservatively projected at
approximately 100.1 % of FY 2024 collections since actual collections for the first ten months of the
fiscal year are trending approximately 0.1 % above prior year collections for the same period.
Total FY 2025 two percent Resort Tax expenditures are projected to be 1.2%, or $0.9 million, above
the current amended budget as of year-end due to a $0.8 million increase in expenditures for additional
public safety measures implemented during the City's high impact periods, such as Spring Break, that
were not part of the current fiscal year budget, as well as a $0.1 million increase in the combined
contributions to the Miami Beach Visitor and Convention Authority (VCA) and Greater Miami
Convention & Visitors Bureau (GMCVB) that are based on a percentage of two percent Resort Tax
collections projected above budget.
1% Resort Tax (Quality of Life)
The proceeds of the one percent (1 %) bed tax, as adopted through Resolution No. 2018-30512, and
continuing in FY 2025, are to be utilized as follows: 60% allocated for Transportation initiatives in
tourist-related areas; 10% allocated equally among North Beach, Middle Beach and South Beach for
capital projects that enhance Miami Beach's tourism-related areas; and 10% allocated to various arts
and cultural programs.
Based on actual collections for the current fiscal year from October 2024 to July 2025, one percent
bed tax revenues for FY 2025 are projected to be 2.6%, or $0.5 million, above the current amended
budget as of year-end. Since transfers for Transportation initiatives in tourism-related areas, North,
Middle, and South Beach quality of life projects, and various arts and cultural programs that are funded
by the CAC are directly based on one percent bed tax collections, expenditures are equally projected
to be 2.6%, or $0.5 million, above the current amended budget as of year-end, of which approximately
$278,000 is allocated to Transportation initiatives, $138,000 is allocated equally to North, Middle, and
South Beach quality of life projects combined , and $46,000 is allocated to various arts and cultural
programs that are funded by the CAC.

1 % Resort Ta x (Convention Center)
Similarly, the proceeds of the additional one percent bed tax levied solely for the purposes of
expanding, enlarging, renovating, and/or improving the Miami Beach Convention Center, including
debt service related thereto, as well as providing capital renewal and replacement funding for the
Miami Beach Convention Center are projected to be 2.6%, or $0.5 million, above the current amended
budget as of year-end. Since the proceeds of the additional one percent bed tax must first provide for
the payment of debt service and any excess be set-aside for capital renewal and replacement funding
for the Miami Beach Convention Center, additional one percent bed tax expenditures are also
projected to be 2.6%, or $0 .5 million , above the current amended budget as of year-end.
Total Resort Tax
Overall, due to actual Resort Tax collections for the first ten months of the current fiscal year from
October 2024 to July 2025 trending slightly above collections for the same period of the prior yea r at
an average of approximately 0.1 % and collections for the remaining months of the current fiscal year
conservatively projected at approximately 100.1 % of prior year collections , combined Resort Tax
revenues are projected to be 2.4%, or $2.7 million, above the current amended budget as of year-end,
while expenditures are projected to be 1.6%, or $1.8 million, above the current amended budget,
resulting in a projected surplus of approximately $0.9 million as of year-end, which the Administration
recommends be set aside to fund required reserve levels and targets.

CITY CENTER RDA
The City of Miami Beach City Center Redevelopment Agency (City Center RDA) is a blended Special
Revenue Fund and separate entity whose Chairperson and Board of Directors are also the City's
Mayor and City Commission. Funding, which is required to be used within the boundaries of the City
Center RDA pursuant to the approved redevelopment plan and amended interlocal cooperation
agreement, is mainly derived from a portion of the tax increment revenues (95%) that are levied and
paid annually by Miami-Dade County and the City to the City Center RDA with respect to properties
that are within the geographical boundaries of the City Center RDA.
An analysis of actual operating revenues and expenses for the period October 1, 2024 through June
30, 2025 reflects that the City Center RDA budget has actual expenses that are less than three
quarters of the current amended budget.
Letter to Commission -Fiscal Year 2025 Third Quarter Analysis
Page 14 of 17
Revenues for the City Center RDA are projected to be above expenditures as of year-end with
expenditures projected to be equivalent to or below the current amended budget. It is important to
note that in accordance with the most recent amended interlocal cooperation agreement, any
surplus/savings realized from the City Center RDA's annual operat ions at year-end must be set aside
and utilized to pay off the outstanding debt that was issued in 2015 fo r the expansion and renovation
of the Miami Beach Convention Center.

While the City Center RDA Garages and Shops below are located within the geographical boundaries
of the City Center RDA, actual revenues and expenses as of June 30, 2025 with revenue and
expenditure projections through September 30, 2025 are being presented separately in order to
eliminate any misperception that the revenues generated from these facilities and their operations are
pooled with TIF revenues and other City Center RDA Trust Fund revenues.
An analysis of actual operating revenues and expenses for the period October 1, 2024 through June
30, 2025 reflects that the City Center RDA Garages and Shops all have actual expenses that are less
than three quarters of the current amended FY 2025 budgets with the exception of Pennsylvania
Avenue Garage and Pennsylvania Avenue Shops as a result of the disproportionate timing of certain
operating expenses that are predominantly incurred in the early part of the fiscal year rather than
distributed evenly throughout the fiscal year.

NORTH BEACH CRA
Similar to the City Center RDA, the North Beach Community Redevelopment Agency (North Beach
CRA) is also a blended Special Revenue Fund and separate entity whose Chairperson and Board of
Directors are the City's Mayor and City Commission. Funding, which is required to be used within the
boundaries of the North Beach CRA pursuant to the approved redevelopment plan and interlocal
agreement, is mainly derived from a portion of the tax increment revenues (60%) that are levied and
paid annually by Miami-Dade County and the City to the North Beach CRA with respect to properties
that are within the geographical boundaries of the North Beach CRA.
An analysis of actual operating revenues and expenses for the period October 1, 2024 through June
30, 2025 reflects that the North Beach CRA budget has actual expenses that are less than three
quarters of the current amended FY 2025 budget.
Revenues for the North Beach CRA are projected to be in excess of expenditures as of year-end and
expenditures are projected to be at the current year amended budget. It is important to note that in
accordance with the current North Beach CRA interlocal agreement, any surplus/savings realized from
the North Beach CRA's operations at year-end must be utilized in accordance with the North Beach
CRA redevelopment plan.
