FLORIDA CA=9 INTER-OFFICE MEMORANDUM Honorable Mayor and Members TOi of the City Commission HATE' OCT 0 41993 FILE: SUBJECT: solution: Ratify Manager's Actions in Authorizing Use of Curtis Park by Miami Senior FROM: REFERENCES: High School or Other Local Ce &ger o, High Schools Cl ENCLOSURES: OL[11.+1.SS] It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached Resolution ratifying the City's Manager's actions establishing special terms and conditions for games to be played during the 1993 football season at Curtis Park Sports Complex by Miami Senior High School or any other Dade County Public High School within City of Miami corporate limits, and authorizing the execution of the necessary permits for this purpose. XGRQM Recently, the Parks and Recreation Department concluded discussions with representatives of Miami Senior High School regarding appropriate fees and charges for the use of the Curtis Park Sports Complex for its 1993 football season. The school has requested a total of six (6) dates for its football games: September 3 and 10, October 1, 8, 15 and 22, 1993. As your are aware, in past years, the school's games were played at the Orange Bowl. Due to the fact that this is a brand new facility with amenities completely unlike those at any other City park, we made the necessary modifications to the customary teams, conditions and fees applicable to events held in City parks. At the time of this writing, the latest revenue projection to the city from this activity is $800 per game consisting of $450 in stadium usage fee, $150 flat concession fee, $50 press box rental charge, and an estimated $150 in parking revenues. It should be noted that this resolution provides for the concession fee to be reviewed after the third football game and authorizes the city manager to renegotiate it should we determine the potential revenue from this source to be more lucrative for the city. Additionally, the parking fee above is an estimate based on the city receiving $0.75 per car for an average of 200 cars per game. As it has in prior years, the school is requesting that funds be allocated from Special Programs and Accounts Contingent Fund in an amount not to exceed $1,000 per game to cover the $0.50 ticket surcharge due for the first 2,000 tickets sold. It would then be responsible for paying the surcharge on the tickets sold beyond the first 2,000. In prior years when the school played at the Orange Bowl, city funds in an amount not to exceed $2,500 per game were allocated to cover surcharge and other event related costs. Although the city funds required to cover the applicable ticket surcharge for Miami High School games will not exceed $6,000 ($1,000 per game), an amount not to exceed $10,000 is being requested in case any other high school within the city's corporate limits choose to play at this facility. This resolution authorizes us to offer the same terms and conditions to any such high school. Gt2 IN It should be noted that the schools) would be responsible for providing required insurance naming the city as an additional insured, and pay all event -related expenses including, but not limited to event personnel, security and electrical costs for field lights. In the attached August 31, 1993 memorandum, I advised you of my intent to authorize said activities at Curtis Park Sports Ccmmplex under the above mentioned fees and conditions. Sufficient time did not exist for us to complete the required negotiations and to prepare the necessary legislation for City Commission approval prior to the first scheduled game on September 3, 1993. This proposal is recommended because it offers a much needed revenue source for the City without exposure to risk. Additionally, since these games usually attract from 2,000 to 3,000 people it makes a lot more economic sense to have them played at a smaller stadium than to have to open up a major facility such as the Orange Bowl. Finally, the games will increase the public's exposure to the newly renovated Curtis Park, providing a "hone" stadium for one of the local high schools located within the City of Miami corporate limits. 93-� CITY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission �r DATE : August 31, 1993 FILE : SUBJECT : Fees for Curtis Park Sports Complex for use by FROM : REFERENCES :Miami Senior High School Cesar H.

Additionally, since these games usually attract from 2,000 to 31000 it makes a lot more economic sense to have them played at a smaller stadium than to have to open up a major facility such as the Orange Bowl.

In addition, it is important to note that Miami High would be responsible for providing all required insurance naming the city as an additional insured, and pay all event -related expenses including but not limited to event personnel, security, and electrical costs for field lights. As these negotiations were only recently concluded and the first scheduled game is on September 3, 1993, I am seeking, through this memorandum, your approval to implement these fees and conditions. Due to time constraints. if I do not bear_ ,otherwise from your respective offices, by 12:00 Noon on Thursday, Hegt@mber 2, 1993, I will assume your initial approval and proceed with this action accordingly, including the execution of required permits/ agreements.
