ENCLOSURES
On April 5, the Dade County Commission is scheduled to approve
a Professional Services Agreement with Laventhol and Horwath to "con-
sider the needs, impact, cost, and operations of convention facilities
that will generate the most competitive position for the Dade County
community in the national and international convention market". (Con-
tract, p.l)
Maximum representation will be afforded to the City so it may ra-
tionally assess its need for additional significant flat floor exhibi-
tion space. Though the client is the County, the contract defines the
County's Project Coordination Team as Jeanne Westphal (County), Rob
Parkins (Miami Beach), and Rick Horrow (Miami), with Stacy Hornstein
acting as Project Liaison. The consultants are required to conduct:
five (5) work sessions to receive input from the Project Coordination
Team during the sixteen weeks process. The process therefore, maximi-
zes tri-jurisdictional unity while insuring that the City's interests
are adequately represented.
The project Scope of Services (with approximate time frames) is
detailed below (see also Appendix A):
I. PLANNING (Weeks 1-2)
a. Data acquisition from groups such as Tourist Development
Council, Downtown Development Authority, Chambers of Com-
merce, hotel Management, convention bureaus, public as-
sembly facility management, etc.
II. FACILITY ANALYSIS (Weeks 2-6)

operating statistics, and evaluate the current utiliza-
tion characteristics to identify each facility's market
position and orientation.

ties and constraints for expansion.

Finance i Taxation
SIMILAR/COM?ANICN BILLS
A. Present Situation: Under authority of Chapter 67-930, •;
Laws of Florida, the municipalities of the City of Miami %
Beach, Sal Harbour, and Surfside levy a 2% 'resort tax* on
the rental of motel, hotel, apartment house and other
similar rooms and on the sale of food and beveraces. Uoon
approval by referendum of a Charter amendment, the tax may be
levied at a rate not to exceed 31 for rooms only.
The revenue is used for the creation and maintenance of
conversion centers and other tourist related facilities.
B. Effect of Proposed Chances: This bill amends Section 2
of Chapter 67-93C, Laws of Florida, as amended by Chapter
82-142. Laws of Florida, to authorize an increase in the
maximu.•n allowable tax rate to 4% by referendum of a charter
amendment, for rent on rooms only. The rate of 21 would remain
in effect for retail sales of food and beverage.
C. Section by Section Analvsis:
Section 1 -- Section 2 of Chapter 67-930, Laws of Florida,
as amended by Chapter 82-142, Laws cf Florida is amended.
Section 2 -- The maximum allowable tax percentage "or the
municipal resort tax is increased from 3% to 4% for the
tax on rooms alone.
Section 3 -- This act she!! .ake effect cn :uly 1?6:
II. rconomic Imtact:
A. Public: The additional tax would raise the costs of room
rentals by a max:mur.+ cf 2 cercent. It is nct
available data, to determine specific 1.-;act of :a:;.
5. ;overnment: The 81-62 resort tar c=l:ect:crz for a:'
c: Dace County was 4.5 m::l:cn dc:tars at a rota -
The resort tax attributable to the City of !Miami Beach,
Sal HarJOur, and Surfside was $276,692 for fiscal year
81-82. An increase to 4% for roars only :s estimated
to generate S298,000 for fiscal year 1982-63 and 5334,C00
for 1983-4.
III. Ccs:+ents:
Article III, Section 11, of the 1968 Florida Constitution provides
a listing of prohibited special laws or general laws of local
application. Population acts are synonymous with general law
of local application. Chapter 67-930, Laws of Flcrida, is
a population act because population criteria are used to
characterize the affected class or area. However, in State v.
City of Miami Beach, 234 So.2d 103 11970?. the Supreme Ccurt

validated Chapter 67-930, Laws of Florida, on the grounds that
the classification of population was reasonable in light of the
states interest in promotion and further development of the tourism
industry. _
