ENCLOSURES: City Commission Agenda Item
Ms. Frankie Rolle, of the Miami/Bahamas Goombay Festival in Coconut Grove, Inc., is
appearing before the City Commission to request authorization to sell alcoholic beverages during
the Miami/Bahamas Goombay Festival to be held on June 6-7, 1998 in Coconut Grove.
RECOMMENDATION:
The administration met with Ms. Frankie Rolle and other representatives of the Miami/Bahamas
Goombay Festival in Coconut Grove, Inc. on April 1, 1998, 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 this authorization to the Miami Bahamas Goombay Festival
and to other events such as the Coconut Grove Arts Festival, the Taste of the Grove, the Coconut
Grove Bed Race and the Banyan Festival.
The administration recommends that Ms. Rolle's request be approved, subject to the
following:
• Paying for the cost of all City services and applicable permits fees required by law.
• Obtaining insurance, including liquor liability, to protect the City of Miami in the
amount stipulated by City requirements.
• Instituting an identification program to assure that only those over the age of twenty-
one will bu alcoholic drinks.
