2007-26636 ResoRESOLUTION NO. 2007-26636
A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH,
FLORIDA, URGING THE MIAMI-DADE COUNTY
COMMISSION TO RESOLVE THE MIAMI-DADE COUNTY
FILM OFFICE'S BUDGET SHORTFALL WITHOUT THE
NEED TO IMPLEMENT PERMIT FEES.
WHEREAS, the Film Production and Entertainment Industry in Miami-Dade
County ("County") generates a significant amount of revenue to local businesses due
to the presence of production crews and entertainers who work and locate within the
South Florida areas for various projects; and
WHEREAS, currently Miami-Dade County does not charge permit fees for film
production activities due to the other benefits and revenues generated by these
activities within the County; and
WHEREAS, in order to resolve a current shortfall in the Miami-Dade County
Film Office Budget, Miami-Dade County is considering implementing a permit fee for
film and entertainment production activities in the County; and
WHEREAS, the Mayor and City Commission of the City of Miami Beach ("City")
are concerned that the implementation of the proposed permit fees will negatively
impact the service and convenience provided to the entertainment production industry
via the Filmiami Collective Virtual One Stop Permit platform to which the City's Film
Office currently belongs, and that removing the City's Film Office from that alliance
would be more of a disincentive to the entertainment and production industry than any
benefit that may be received from a permit fee program; and
WHEREAS, the Mayor and City Commission of the City of Miami Beach only
support a permit fee if it were exclusively a location fee for productions occurring in
unincorporated Miami-Dade or countywide; and
WHEREAS, regardless of any fee that may be implemented by Miami-Dade
County, the Mayor and City Commission wish to continue the City's policy of not
changing any production permit fees in order to maintain an industry friendly
environment in Miami Beach.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT DULY RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY
COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, that the Miami-Dade
County Commission is hereby urged to resolve the County Film Office budget shortfall
without the implementation of a permit fee; however, if such fee is implemented, said
fee should go exclusively to maintaining service levels, the cooperative marketing in
the Miami-Dade Film Office should be continued, and the fee should be capped at
$100.00 per permit application. Furthermore, regardless of any fees which may be
imposed by Miami-Dade County, the City of Miami Beach shall continue to waive any
permit fees for production in the City of Miami Beach.
