RECOMMENDATION
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution authorizing
the waiver of all rental and permit fees permissible by the Code of the City of Miami, and the
allocation of funds in the amount of $16,934.00 from the Special Events Account Code No.
001000921054.289 for expenses incurred in connection with the La Liga Contra El Cancer telethon
held on June 10, 2001.
BACKGROUND
La Liga Contra El Cancer, a not-for-profit organization, appeared before the City Commission to
request the waiver of rental and permit fees, and the provision of City services in connection with
their annual fundraiser telethon at the Coconut Grove Expo Center. The City Commission
recommended that La Liga seek funding from the Miami Sports and Exhibition Authority and
passed a motion to that effect.
MSEA declined to provide funding for this event. As a result, La Liga Contra El Cancer owes the
amount of $16,934.00 to the Coconut Grove Expo Center for their telethon event held on June 10,
2001. In order to clear this accounts receivable balance and resolve this issue, it is necessary that
$16,934.00 be allocated from the Special Events Account Code No. 001000921054.289 to the
Coconut Grove Expo Center Account No. 415000.035010.154.
