Dear Sergio,
Please find attached a revised budget for the Miami Beach Visitor and Convention Authority (VCA) which incorporates
the actions taken by the VCA at our meeting this morning. I would appreciate your placing this budget, in substitution
for the previous version forwarded to your office, on the September 14, 1999 City Commission agenda for their
acceptance.
I believe that this budget and the VCA's actions this morning are sincere expressions of our Board's commitment to
serve as a partner to you and the City in our joint efforts to make this an even better tourism destination. The VCA's
action to commit $2 million to the City's budget for tourism -related city services is in recognition of the demands on
the City's resources to maintain a first-rate tourism infrastructure. The VCA's commitment to convey an additional $5
million pursuant to the Interlocal Agreement's provisions to the Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau
re -confirms our confidence in the solutions forged through the Blue Ribbon Task Force on Tourism and Marketing.
The VCA fully supports the terms of the Interlocal Agreement which were approved by the City Commission and the
Greater Miami Convention Bureau and we will meet again on Monday, September 13th to re -affirm our support for the
entire Agreement.
Finally, we believe that together we have important work to begin in the coming year. The VCA's grants programs are
already underway and will develop and support great events for our City. We have taken the leadership to develop a
"gateway" web site for Miami Beach tourism with the support of a broad array of our City's tourism partners. We have
instituted a search for an executive director. We are working on strategies and an action plan to attract more shoulder
season tourism business to our destination.
We look forward to working with you in the coming year.

expenditures anticipated and proposed to be made by the authority; and no budgetary provisions shall
be made in broad or all-inclusive terms; and such proposed budget shall be in conformity with the
requirements for a line -by-line budget". Additionally pursuant to the Ordinance, the City
Commission's review and approval of the VCA's budget should be limited solely to a determination
of the legality of the proposed expenditures. It should be noted that the proposed VCA budget for
1999/2000 includes remittance to the City of $2,000,000 to assist with tourism -related city services.
It should also be noted that pursuant to a Resolution of the VCA adopted January 6, 1994, payments
required to be made to the VCA under Section 102-251 of the Code of the City of Miami Beach are
deemed satisfied to the extent such payments are made to the Greater Miami Convention and
Visitors Bureau.
CONCLUSION:
Therefore, it is recommended that the Mayor and City Commission adopt the FY1999/2000 VCA
Budget in the amount of $8,156,000.
