City Commission Memorandum Resolution Adopting FY 2007/08 Special Revenue Budgets September 26, 2007 Page 2 The allocation to the General Fund for Fiscal Year 2007/08 of approximately $20.7 million pays for tourist related services and costs provided or managed by General Fund Departments. This funding supports public safety programs including our beach patrol, 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 as well as special event support services. The funding also supports code compliance services to respond to evening entertainment areas and for special events; provides for a portion of the operational costs of the Tourism and Cultural Development Department; and provides a contribution to the Cultural Arts Council beyond their annual interest allocation from the investment of City funds. The Fiscal Year 2007/08 budget also includes an allocation to the Greater Miami Convention and Visitors Bureau (GMCVB) of approximately $5.46 million, $1.53 million for debt service, $1.45 million to the Miami Beach Visitor and Convention Center (VCA), $400,000 for a local Miami Beach marketing campaign, to be augmented with funds from the GMCVB, the VCA, and the Cultural Arts Council (CAC), and a $275,000 contingency for other Resort Tax eligible expenses such as: special events, protocol, and festivals. The proceeds of the additional one percent (1%) 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 1% budget also reflects the revised allocation method for the Qualify of Life funding, which includes the arts, approved by the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee on February 18, 2004.
