ENCLOSURES'
R
It is respectfully recommended that the City Commmission adopt the attached
Resolution ratifying the City's Manager's action in establishing special
charges, terms and conditions for three (3) specific uses of the Curtis Park
Sports Complex. The legislation would further authorize the City Manager to
negotiate and establish other charges, terns and conditions for all other
requested uses for an eighteen -month period as an interim measure until the
market can be assessed for the establishment of pennanent fees.
The Parks and Recreation Department has prepared .the attached legislation.
Recently, the City Commission, pursuant to Resolution No. 93-632, adopted
October 14, 1993, established special charges, terms and conditions for the
use of the Curtis Park Stadium for varsity football games sponsored by Dade
County Senior High Schools located within the City of Miami corporate limits.
We have subsequently received requests for the use of this facility by other
organizations. In a mamnrandmmm dated October 29, 1993, the City Manager
advised the Commission of his intent to set charges, terns and conditions, for
the use of the facility for these three (3) sets of circumstances: for senior
high school junior varsity games, the Facility Use Fee = $300,
semiprofessional football tryouts and practices, the Facility Use Fee = $350,
and youth football games presented by nonprofit organizations, the Facility
Use Fee = $100 and the Concession Fee = $50 per Concession Stand. The
attached resolution will ratify this action.
We anticipate receiving additional requests from other types of organizations
for the use of the Facility and will require a sufficient period of time,
approximately eighteen (18) months, to identify market conditions and
thereupon to determine appropriate fee schedules and other conditions for its
use. In the interim, we recommend that the City Manager, or designee, be
authorized to negotiate and apply appropriate term and conditions, including
use fees, with prospective users on individual basis, providing that: a) like
fees and conditions will be applied to similar groups under similar
circumstances, b) all City -incurred costs are paid by said users, and c) non-
waivable charges, such as the ticket surcharge, will not be waived.
