A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, APPROVING AND AUTHORIZING THE
REALLOCATION OF $24,107.59 IN PREVIOUSLY APPROPRIATED CITY OF
MIAMI BEACH QUALITY OF LIFE/RESORT TAX FUNDING FROM FISCAL YEAR
2002~2003 FOR THE PURPOSE OF FUNDING TOURISM ORIENTED PROJECTS
IN THE NORTH BEACH AREA; SPECIFICALLY FOR EVENTS IN NORTH
BEACH.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
ANALYSIS
In 1992, the City of Miami Beach voters agreed to a one percent increase in the resort tax collection
on hotel room rent. Half of the one percent was to create public incentives for a Convention Center
Headquarter Hotel, and the other 50% was designated for the promotion of Quality of Life (Q.O.L.)
tourism related activities and facilities. That 50% Quality of Life increment has been equally split in
thirds for improvements in the North, Middle and South Beach communities and, beginning with the
FY 2004/05 budget, the Cultural Arts Council.
At the February 18, 2004 City Commission Workshop on Quality of Life funding, the administration
was directed to review the funding distribution process to ensure consistency for all three areas.
Subsequently, at the May 24, 2005 Finance and Citywide Projects Committee meeting, direction
was given to fund capital expenditures and/or on-going maintenance of citywide assets and facilities
through future allocations of Quality of Life Funds. The Administration was also instructed to bring
forward proposed allocations of Quality of Life Funds through the budget process. In addition, the
Administration met with representatives from NBDC and reached consensus on a funding
mechanism for the organization's 2005/2006 operating budget, in order for NBDC to convert into a
self-sustaining organization. To that end, the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee
recommended in favor of reallocating unspent funds from 2002/2003 Quality of Life funds for the
purpose of funding events in North Beach in fiscal year 2005/2006 previously appropriated for
NBDC's Marketing Director.
CONCLUSION
Based on the aforementioned, the Administration recommends approving the Resolution which
appropriates Quality of Life funds from Fiscal Year (8) 2002/2003 in an amount of $24,107.59 in
previously appropriated City of Miami Beach Quality of Life/Resort Tax funding from fiscal year
2002/2003 for the purpose of funding tourism oriented projects in the North Beach area; specifically
for events in North Beach.
