It is recommended that the City Commission discuss and review the

The City Commission at its meeting of December. 5, 1991, requested
that this issue be brought back at the January 9, 1992 meeting for
further discussion of the necessary City services for said event.
BACKGROUND:
On December 5, 1991, representatives of the Discovery of America
Quincentennial Committee requested assistance from the City in
support of the official Tour of the replicas of the La Nina, La
Pinta and La Santa Maria, which will arrive in Miami on February 14,
1992, and will dock at Bayfront Park during their fifteen (15) day
stay. The City of Miami has been selected as the first port of call
of the official Tour of the Caravels.
The City Commission approved the waiving of all fees associated with
docking of the Discovery Ships at Bayfront Park and further, directed
the administration to identify as much City in -kind services as
possible for the historic tour..
The Executive Director of the Quincentennial Committee has advised
us that they have not yet finalized plans for the different events
that will take place in connection with the docking of the Discovery
Ships. When plans for all the activities are finalized we will
prepare a detailed report indicating the level of City in -kind
services (Police, Fire and clean-up) needed for said events. The
organizers have indicated definite plans will be available before
the January 9, 1992 Commission meeting.
