FROnn: Jorge M. Gonzalez, City Manager
DATE: September 26, 2007
SUBJECT: A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO
APPROVE THE CULTURAL ARTS COUNCIL'S FUNDING
RECOMMENDATIONS, AND AWARDING $630,000 IN SAID GRANTS, FOR
FISCAL YEAR 2007/08, AS IDENTIFIED IN THE ATTACHED EXHIBIT "B";
AND FURTHER APPROVING THE ONE-TIME RENT WAIVER PROGRAM FOR

CONTINGENT UPON THE APPROVAL OF THE CULTURAL ARTS
COUNCIL'S BUDGET FOR THE FISCAL YEAR 2007/08.
ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION
Adopt the Resolution.
FUNDING
Funding is available from the Cultural Arts Council's (CAC) budget for Fiscal Year 2007/08.
BACKGROUND
The Mayor and City Commission passed an Ordinance in 1997 establishing the Cultural Arts
Council to support the visual and performing arts in Miami Beach. The cultural arts grants
program, a central component of the Council's master plan, provides funding to not-for-
profitsarts organizations through a competitive application and review process. This funding
annually results in hundreds of performances, exhibits, and other cultural events throughout
the City of Miami Beach.
In 1998, a competitive process was established to review grant applications and assess the
cultural community's needs. The grant categories and their objectives are listed below.
Cultural. Anchors -Provides grants to the major preeminent arts institutions physically based in
the City of Miami Beach, whose primary mission is year-round artistic and cultural programming
that contributes significantly to the cultural life of the City of Miami Beach. Organizations must
have minimum organizational budget levels of $750,000. Grants may be used towards
operational expenses in association with the annual cultural programming described in the
application. The seven organizations are: ArtCenter/South Florida, Bass Museum of Art,
Jewish Museum of Florida, Miami City Ballet, Miami Design Preservation League, New
World Symphony, and Wolfsonian-FIU.
Page 2 of 6
CAC Recommendation
This year the CAC approved the addition of three Miami Beach based cultural organizations
into the Cultural Anchors category. These organizations meet all the above listed objectives
but have organizational budget levels below $750,000, and are called "Junior" Cultural
Anchors. The new organizations include Arts at St. John's, Miami Beach Film Society, and
Miami Contemporary Dance Company.
Cultural Heritage -Provides project-specific grants for arts programming to not-for-profit
501(c)(3) Miami Beach-based institutions devoted to promoting and protecting the diverse
heritage, traditions and culture of Miami Beach. Grants may be used for presentations of
visual and performing arts, arts programs and workshops, and other projects which
emphasize the artistic experience and are accessible to a broad audience. Grant funds may
not be used to support projects that are primarily recreational, therapeutic, vocational or
rehabilitative, or for religious services or programs designed solely for practitioners of a
specific religion.
Artistic Disciplines -Dance, Film, Music, Theater and Visual Arts
Funding is limited to arts and cultural organizations whose primary mission is to create and
present work in one of the following artistic disciplines; Dance, Music Theater, Film and
Visual Arts. Proposed projects should be for work that is new or has never before been
presented in Miami Beach. Organizations receiving an Artistic Discipline Grant are chosen
based on demonstrated artistic talent and potential and the vision for the proposed project,
in relation to their overall artistic goals.
Arts and Cultural Education -Provides grants to cultural organizations whose primary mission
is to provide support for rich and challenging arts learning opportunities for children and adults in
City of Miami Beach schools and neighborhoods. Grants may be used for workshops,
lectures/demonstrations, and other projects designed to increase skills and awareness of the
arts.
Cultural Presenters -Provides grants to organizations whose primary mission is to produce
and present cultural and artistic productions.
Cultural Tourism (funding shared by the CAC 8~ VCA) -Provides grants to support major
cultural arts performances, festivals, and events which attract a significant number of tourists
to the City of Miami Beach. Additionally, the CAC partnered with the VCA for Cultural
Tourism grants that support cultural events with documented tourism benefits. The VCA
provided $45,000 and the CAC provided $35,000 to fund this program in Fiscal Year
2007/08. Similar to the CAC grants panel process, three (3) members of the VCA and three
(3) members of the CAC jointly convened a Cultural Tourism Panel on July 11, 2007, to
review and recommend funding for this category. Please refer to Exhibit B for a detailed list
of all the review panel members. The Cultural Tourism Program awards totaled $80,000.
OVERVIEW OF CHANGES TO THE CULTURAL GRANTS PROGRAM
In an effort to address the needs of the arts community, the CAC and Cultural Affairs staff
review the grants program on an annual basis to determine if any changes to the grant
application and review process would be beneficial for purposes of enhancing and/or
expanding cultural arts programming in the City. Suggestions are also received from
grantees, grants panelists, members of the Cultural Arts Council and other granting
organizations. Over the years this application and review process has evolved/ changed as
a result of these various recommendations. Adjustments were made to the grant application
and review process for this year's application cycle.
Page 3 of 6
CAC Recommendation
The grants program has traditionally been divided into various categories so that groups with
similar programs and/or missions may be equitably presented and compared during the
review process. The current grant categories for Fiscal Year 2007/08 and their objectives
are listed below. These grant program categories have been in effect since Fiscal Year
2003/04, with a few changes over the years as referenced below.
One of the most significant changes since the program began was the adoption of a new
manner of addressing the pool of available grant funds. Prior to last year, the available
funds were divided between the various grant categories before the scoring process began,
with specified amounts earmarked for each discipline or program. In the fall of 2005, the
CAC voted to keep the funding pool whole, so that all applicants would be in competition
with each other regardless of program category, with the goal of rewarding excellence and
making fewer- but larger -grant awards. This system was used during the 2006/2007 and
2007/2008 grant application periods. While funding was not divided by categories, the
aforementioned distinct categories do exist for purposes of distinguishing the applications.
APPLICATION PROCESS _
Applications and guidelines are made available in January in both English and Spanish, and
are also available electronically (www.miamibeachfl.gov and www.mbculture.org).
Additionally, the grant programs are publicized in English and Spanish media and via
electronic mail. Only non-profit cultural organizations with a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status or
cultural departments within an institution of higher learning (college or university) with tax-
exempt status under other subsections of 501(c)(3) are eligible to apply. Cultural Affairs staff
determines an application's eligibility and discusses guidelines with applicants during a
required, one-on-one consultation. Organizations that received prior year grant funding but
did not comply with the requirements of the Grant Agreement are not eligible to apply.
Additionally, organizations that received funding from the Miami Beach Visitor and
Convention Authority (VCA) during the same fiscal year are not eligible to apply. Applicants
are required to furnish a minimum $1 to $1 funding match, in cash, in-kind, or combination of
both.
The application process, including the Cultural Tourism program, yields an average of 50 to
65 viable applications each year, and every year the grants program attracts new applicants.
In fact, since the development of the Cultural Affairs Program's website in 2005, along with
other marketing initiatives, the program has seen a steady increase in applicants. For the
Fiscal Year 2007/08 grants application process the program received 16 new applicants (as
compared to six new in Fiscal Year 2006/07).
GRANTS PANELS
Applications are scored at a series of publicly noticed Panel Meetings by program category
each spring. Applicants are encouraged to attend but are not required to be present. During
the Panel Meeting, applicants are permitted only to respond to questions from panelists.
Miami Beach Cultural Arts Council panelists follow applicable conflict-of-interest guidelines;
they do not participate in funding deliberations affecting organizations with which they have
been affiliated as employees or board members within the past three years. Once the Panel
has reviewed and scored an application, the scores of the Panel are final.
Prior to the Fiscal Year 2006/07 application process, the panels were co-chaired by two CAC
members with the remaining five to six panel members comprised of citizens and members
of business community and professionals from the various artistic disciplines throughout
Miami Dade County. In the fall of 2005, and in order to have greater participation in the
evaluation and scoring process, the CAC decided to have the panels be comprised solely of
Page 4 of 6
CAC Recommendation
the eleven CAC members.
Prior to Fiscal Year 2006/07, funding recommendations were made by the panelists at the
conclusion of each panel meeting. Panels were assigned a percentage of the total
proposed grant funding for the next fiscal year based on the number of applicants in each
category and the total award amounts requested. The CAC would then review all panel
recommendations and forward their final approved recommendations to the Mayor and
Commission. In Fiscal Year 2006/07, funding recommendations were taken out of the panel
meeting process. Once all panels had concluded their evaluations, the CAC reviewed all
final scores at their July meeting. Funding was allocated by the CAC from the top scoring
applicant, down the list until no funds remained.
EVALUATION CRITERIA
The criteria for each program category have changed minimally since the applications and
criteria were first revised to their present format and content for Fiscal Year 2004/05. Minor
revisions to specific questions on the applications have been made to reduce repetitiveness
or where duplication of intent was noted. Evaluation criteria vary slightly for each program
but generally include questions highlighting Artistic and/or Cultural Merit and Program
Quality, Artistic/Educational Merit and Program Quality, Project Merit Curatorial
Methodology, Community Impact, Organization Management, and Budget Feasibility and
Fiscal Responsibility. However, for Fiscal Year 2007/08, the panelists' evaluation sheets
were condensed from 15 questions down to 4 questions, with the intention of providing
greater ease and simplicity. Specifically, scoring changed from 0 -100 (maximum possible),
to 0 - 20 (maximum possible). While this new scoring method was adopted specifically to
eliminate a larger number of the weaker applications, it had the unexpected effect of also
eliminating a number of applicants that a majority of CAC members felt worthy of funding.
This scoring system will be revisited during the CAC's annual grants process review this
process.
MINIMUM SCORE REQUIREMENT -Competitive Grants Funding
The use of a minimum score requirement as competitive criteria for an application to be
eligible to receive funding has been in place since Fiscal Year 2005/06, and applicants are
advised of this criteria. The CAC established that for the FY 2007/08 funding cycle, any
applications scoring below 80% of the maximum possible score would be ineligible to
receive grant funds. A couple of variations have been applied over the past two years. All
grant categories for Fiscal Year 2007/08 were assigned the 80% minimum score
requirement. Last year, only the Cultural Anchors and Cultural Heritage categories were
assigned the 80% minimum score requirement.
FISCAL YEAR 2007/08 CULTURAL GRANTS
Between January 8, 2007, and April 20, 2007, Cultural Affairs staff met individually with all
applicants to determine eligibility and offer guidance. Final grant application deadlines
varied depending upon Program category. The eleven CAC members comprised the CAC
grants panels exclusively again this year. Please reference Exhibit "A" for a list of members.
The CAC grants panels convened at public meetings in City Hall on March 2, March 30, May
4, and June 1, 2007; the Cultural Tourism grant panel convened at a public meeting on July
11, 2007. There were a total of 61 grant applications (please see note below). The panelists
reviewed applications in alphabetical order. Applicants were allowed to address specific
questions from the panelists. The applications were scored using evaluation forms based
on criteria listed in the application, then averaged dropping the highest and lowest scores.
On July 6, 2007, at their regular monthly public meeting at City Hall, the CAC members
reviewed the final scores ranked highest to lowest from all the panel meetings combined. As
Page 5 of 6
CAC Recommendation
per CAC approved Fiscal Year 2007/08 grant guidelines, an application must have scored a
minimum average of 16 points (80%) of a maximum possible score of 20 points, to be
eligible to receive funding. The CAC recommended maximum grant awards (total amount
requested) for all applicants scoring 16 and higher, resulting in a total of 21 applicants
recommended for funding. Please see Exhibit "B" for a listing of the recommendations
discussed and approved at the CAC's July 6~h meeting (column titled "original"
recommendation).
(NOTE: The Holocaust Memorial, a regular applicant to the City's cultural grants program since 2001, was
disqualified from this year's application process for failing to submit a timely application. An application was
submitted twelve (12) days past the advertised grant program deadline. The Cultural Affairs Program staff held
the regular series of consultation meetings with the Holocaust Memorial's Executive Director and grant writer,
and in addition provided comments and corrections on their initial draft, along with numerous reminders of the
final application delivery deadline by phone, email and in conversation. The application was not reviewed by
the CAC Panel. During their May 4, 2007, meeting the CAC discussed the Holocaust Memorial's application. A
motion to accept the application did not receive a second.)
The Cultural Tourism panel meeting was held on July 11, 2007. The panel comprised of
members from both the Miami Beach Visitor and Convention Authority and the CAC,
reviewed three applications and approved equal awards of $26,666.67 to each organization.
STATUS OF RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FUNDING
Similarly to the process used for the recommendations made by the Community
Development Advisory Committee (CDAC) for CDBG, SHIP and HOME funding, staff
reviewed the proposed recommendations from the CAC. While the Administration
acknowledges the incredible work and commitment of the CAC to furthering cultural arts
programming in our community, the Administration believed it was in the best interest of the
City and the local arts community for the CAC to consider other potential funding
alternatives.
A meeting was held with the CAC Chair to discuss the recommendations and alternative
funding options should additional funding be available to the CAC. As proposed in their
meeting, the CAC had recommended full funding to all applicants that scored a 16 or higher;
the 16 represented a score of 80%. This provided funding to all but one of the Cultural
Anchors, and funded 12 of the other [general category] applicants. After reviewing the
scores of the applicants, staff recommended that partial funding (50%) also be allocated to
applicants scoring between 15 and 16, providing funding to an additional 11 applicants.
Partial funding (50%) was also recommended to the one unfunded Cultural Anchor, Miami
Design Preservation League (MDPL).
In addition, in response to concerns that no grants might be allocated to groups that perform
at the Byron Carlyle, it was also discussed and recommended that the CAC coordinate the
process to identify groups that scored less than a 15 that might be interested in receiving
rent waivers for use of the Byron Carlyle as their performance venue. The total amount of
available funding for rent waivers would be pre-determined, and the process to select the
group to receive the waiver would be established and shared with interested groups. The
groups would have to cover any hard costs associated with the use of the facility. The net
result would be additional programming for the community, even if not funded directly by the
Grants program.
The CAC considered these new funding options, as well as the Byron Carlyle rent waiver
program, at their meeting on September 7~h. The CAC had a lengthy discussion on the
subject, which primarily focused on the Administration's recommendation to fund MDPL in
light of their 14.3 score, below the 16-point minimum required to qualify for funding, and the
Page 6 of 6
CAC Recommendation
adjusted criteria of 15 and higher. As in previous years, Council members were respectful of
MDPL's history, but voiced criticism of its current performance and programs and in
particular the agency's emphasis on Art Deco Weekend, as referenced and supported by
the funding application. Specifically, certain members expressed reservations on providing
CAC funding for the festival, indicating their personal opinion that it has changed from its
original intent and focus. In addition, the panel indicated again, as it did in July, that the
MDPL application needed improvement, and that the agency had failed to address similar
concerns about the application that were raised and shared with MDPL last year.
Out of the ten Cultural Anchor and Junior Anchor organizations, Miami Design Preservation
League (MDPL) scored significantly below the minimum score required to be eligible to
receive funding. Historically, MDPL's scores have come last in the list of Cultural Anchors
and have been only slightly above the minimum score required for funding. However, this is
the first year MDPL has scored below the minimum required 80% score and consequently
not originally recommended for funding (see below).
MDPL
Fiscal Year Score Award
2007/08 14.333 $ -0-
2006/07 81.50 $20,375
2005/06 80.33 $25,000
2004/05 72.33 $25,000 (minimum score requirement not in effect)
Despite the lengthy discussion on MDPL, the CAC did recommend in favor of the
administration's recommendation, which includes funding for MDPL, as presented in Exhibit
"B". The recommendation supports allocating $630,000 in grants, which includes $35,000 to
fund the joint Cultural Tourism Program with the VCA, for a total of 36 awards to
organizations.
At the September 7th meeting, the CAC also recommended in favor of waiving rent at the
Byron Carlyle Theater for groups who applied for a FY 2007/08 CAC grant, but were not
recommended for funding. The waiver will be exclusive to the Byron Carlyle Theater and
only waive rent; not inclusive of house fees, labor, and insurance or other hard costs.
Furthermore, the CAC recommended in favor of the waivers providing this is a one time
waiver for FY 2007/08 grant applicants who did not receive funding. Eligible groups may not
receive another rent discount and will be eligible to receive the waiver for a maximum of 2
days. All eligible groups will be notified of the program and be given until October 31, 2007
to apply. The CAC briefly discussed potentially creating a specific grant category for the
Byron Carlyle Theater, and will discuss this further during their grant process review in the
coming months.
CONCLUSION
The Mayor and City Commission should adopt the City Administration's and CAC's
recommendation as detailed above and as reflected in Exhibit "B", inclusive of the one-time
rent waiver program for the Byron Carlyle Theater.
