CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUI TO Honorable Mayor and DATE SEP 3 0 1996 FILE Members of the City Commission Ordinance Amending SUBJECT Certain Sections of Chapters 30 and 38 of the City of Miami Code FROM REFERENCES /Mke 5o City Comm. Mtg. of 10/10/96 ENCLOSURES. Proposed Ordinance RECOMMENDATION It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached ordinance which, where necessary, formalizes, provides for fee adjustments and updates existing City Code provisions pertaining to the following charges associated with special events and other social functions at city parks: facility rental, beer and wine sales, concessions, as well as showmobile, bleachers and public address system rentals. BACKGROUND The Department of Parks and Recreation has prepared the attached ordinance to formalize and, in some cases, adjust the facility rental fees charged for special events (i.e. festivals) or other social functions (i.e. birthday parties) taking place in city parks. Also, this legislation provides clarifying language and allows for fee adjustments to the park fees for the selling of beer and wine. Additionally, revisions are made to the criteria utilized in establishing annual concession fees for special events. Finally, modifications have been made to existing legislation for the purposes of formalizing, updating and adjusting the rental fees for showmobiles, bleachers and public address systems. It should be noted that many of these charges have not been adjusted in at least eight years. Other than Bayfront Park (which is operated by the Bayfront Park Management Trust), the city operated park most frequently utilized for special events is Peacock/Myers Park. Earlier this year, we met with most of the main users of this park to review with them the proposed special event fees we intended to implement. Additionally, we have discussed these fees with the Coconut Grove Standing Festival Committee. Attached is a draft of the proposed special event fees for Peacock/Myers Park. Also, attached are sample draft copies of proposed fees for Virginia Key Beach, Watson Island and for other social functions (i.e. birthday parties) at city parks. It should be noted that it would be our intent to implement these fees effective January 1, 1997. The attached legislation would also authorize the City Manager to annually review and adjust fees, if necessary,,based upon certain specified factors. The increased revenue from any fee adjustment would represent much needed revenue to the city.
