As it relates to the waiver of fees, the administration recommends denial due to budgetary constraints. Approval of this request may set a precedent for other festivals seeking financial support from the City. BACKGROUND: Mr. Heruy Givens, Executive Director of the Miami/Bahamas Goombay Festival in Coconut Grove, Inc., is requesting authorization to sell alcoholic beverages during the Miami/Bahamas Goombay Festival to be held on June 5-6, 1999 in Coconut Grove. Additionally they are requesting the waiver of all permit fees, administrative fees and rentals fees related to the Festival. The other two issues mentioned in their letter, authorization to close streets and the restriction of retail peddlers, do not need City Commission approval since they can be authorized by the City Manager under the City of Miami Code. 99- 271 n 0 I 11 F1 Aw The administration met with the organizers of the Miami Bahamas Goombay Festival in Coconut Grove, Inc. to discuss City services and permits. At that meeting the organizers of the festival were advised that in order to sell tropical drinks they needed to obtain City Commission approval, since the City Manager can only authorize the sale of beer and wine. The City traditionally has granted authorization to sell tropical drinks to the Miami Bahamas Goombay Festival as well as to other events such as the Coconut Grove Arts Festival, the Taste of the Grove. the Coconut Grove Bed Race and the Banyan Festival.
