ENCLOSURES.
It is respectfully requested that the City Commission discuss the continued staging of the
Orange Bowl Parade (the "Parade") in downtown Miami and the continued use the
warehouse facilities located at 1100 NW South River Drive, Miami, Florida, by the Orange
Bowl Committee ("OBC").
There exists a history and tradition of the OBC staging the Parade in the downtown area
upon the streets of Miami including those designated as Biscayne Boulevard and Flagler
Street. The Parade focuses national and international attention on the City thus providing
the City with immeasurable publicity. The Parade draws thousands of participants and
spectators to the City and therefore has a positive impact on the economy of Miami.
Additionally the OBC has been utilizing the warehouse facilities located at 1100 NW South
River Drive since 1953 for the construction, preparation and storage of floats and other
equipment for the Parade. The original lease agreement between the City and the OBC
was entered into on June 18, 1953 for use of the above referenced property for construction
of a municipal warehouse to be used in connection with the Orange Bowl Parade. The
construction was financed through Certificates of Indebtedness which were payable solely
from monies derived from the leasing of the space to the OBC.
On May 5, 1970, the parties entered into a lease agreement for the OBC's continued use of
the existing warehouse space. This lease provided for expansion of the warehouse facilities
to be financed through the City's issuance of bonds. The rental provided in this lease
provided for the payment of all outstanding Certificates of Indebtedness and for the
payment of the principal and interest on the bonds to be issued for construction of the
addition. The term of this agreement was from December 1, 1969 to November 30, 1984 or
until the full payment of the principal and interest on the bonds was paid.
On December 20, 1974, the City entered into a second lease agreement for the leasing of
additional space for construction of a third addition to the warehouse facility. The term of
this agreement was from December 20, 1974 to December 19, 1989 or, if longer, until the
full payment of the principal and interest on the bonds to be issued for constructing the
third addition to the warehouse. The lease set forth a payment schedule equal to the
amount of principal and interest due and payable on the bonds.
