When the Agreement between the Dade County Commission and the Broward County Commission to co-sponsor the South Florida Regional Sports Authority was dissolved, the Dade County Commission decided not to replace it with a Dade County Sports Authority. The South Florida Regional Sports Authority was funded by Category IV - Tourist Development Room Tax Plan Revenue - in the amount of $347,280, to be evenly split between both Dade and Broward counties. At the time of dissolution of the Regional Sports Authority, the Dade County Commission passed a Resolution allocating the entire $347,280 from Category IV - Tourist Development Room Tax Plan Revenue - to fund the activities of the Sports Authority during the fiscal year 1982-83 upon the creation of a Metropolitan Dade County Sports Authority. The County Commission has extended the funding of the existing Sports Authority staff through November 16, 1982. The attached Resolution will provide for interim consulting services of the Executive Director, Richard Horrow, and funding two existing employees, in order to provide the City of Miami with the necessary technical support that will be needed in the development of information for this election issue. The allocation of $40,000 will cover the staff expenses for a two month period beginning on November 17, 1982.
