Od' City Manage LA CA-9 DATE : J e N - L 1991 FILE Resolution to Establish SUBJECT: Dockage Fee for Boat Shows REFERENCES: ENCLOSURES: RECOMMENDATION It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached resolution to establish a special mooring and dockage fee of $0.65 per foot per day at Miamarina for guests and participants of the Biscayne Bay Marriott Marina and the Miami International Boat Show in connection with that event during the period February 9 through 23, 1991. The resolution would also authorize the City Manager to establish special or discounted rates for this same event in 1992, subject to the availability of slips and based upon specified criteria. BACKGROUND The Department of Parks and Recreation is responsible for the operation of the City -owned Miamarina adjacent to the Bayside Specialty Center. The Biscayne Bay Marriott Hotel and Marina has requested the use of any and all available slips at said marina for the accommodation of guest, participant and other vessels during the Miami International Boat Show in February of 1991. For the past three years, the City Commission has established a special mooring and dockage rate for this arrangement. These rates have been less than the normal transient vessel rate of $0.75, but the City has received an adequate financial return given the large number of vessels brought in for the event. For the 1991 show, we anticipate that approximately 60 to 80 slips would be available for this purpose, and we recommend that a special dockage rate of $0.65 per linear foot per day be established. This rate represents an increase of $0.05 over last year's rate, and is justified based on increased marina operating costs. As in the past, the dockmaster of the Biscayne Bay Marriott Marina has agreed to provide an advance deposit and pay all required fees directly to the City. If adopted, the attached legislation would also authorize the City Manager to establish special or discounted rates for this same event in 1992, subject to the availabilty of slips and based upon the following considerations: the then -current marina operating costs and dockage fees, increases in the C4i —1 'Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission page 2 . Consumer Price Index, and an equitable volume discount for the number of vessels being brought in. These frctors must also be weighed against the criteria delineated in Section 53-86 of the City Code, which authorizes the City Manager to establish mooring and dockage fees on an annual basis. z
