Odio City Manager DATE ii U J 19�i FILE Su[3JECT Resolution Ratifying the City Manager's Actions regarding a Labor Day Concert Event REFERENCES ENCLOSURES �SiJJ'�SeiYi± It is respectfully recommended that the City Commission adopt the attached resolution relating to the "WSHE (radio station) Twentieth Anniversary Concert" held in Bicentennial Park on Labor Day, September 2, 1991; ratifying and approving the City Manager's actions in allowing the event to proceed, in establishing modified fees for the use of City facilities for the event, and in executing the use agreement with the sponsor, Cellar Door Concerts, Inc. Bad The Department of Parks and Recreation was approached by Cellar Door Concerts, Inc., WSHE Radio, and Professional Events Services, Inc. in mid -August 1991 to request permission to hold a major special event in downtown Miami on Labor Day, September 2, 1991. These sponsors planned to hold a free concert, the "WSHE 20th Anniversary Concert", at Bicentennial Park for an estimated crowd of 25,000 persons, utilizing portions of the Florida East Coast Railway (FEC) Property and Watson Island for paid public parking for the event. After notifying the City Manager's office, staff negotiated modifications to the standard park permit terms and conditions for this unique event. The sponsors agreed to pay a guaranteed flat fee of $10,000 for the use of the parks and were allowed to retain a $5.00 per car parking charge. Additionally, sponsors paid all permit and concession fees, staff and security costs, including police and cleanup. They also provided sufficient liability insurance for said event. It was determined that as an appropriate commuiity activity for the holiday, the proffered terms and conditions were advantageous to the City, assuring both adequate revenue and minimal risk. Due to the August Ccmmission recess, the Administration was unable to formally present this situation in advance of the event. However, the City Manager, in a memorandum tc the Mayor and Commission dated August 27, 1991, advised of his intent to authorize said event to proceed and to execute the necessary documents for this purpose. The attached use agreement outlines the responsibilities of the City and the sponsor, and was reviewed and approved by the City Attorney. The legislation being presented today provides for the formal approval of the City Manager's actions regarding this event, the fees charged to the sponsor, and the execution of the contract. It should be noted that net revenue to the City from the event amounted to $11,400. CITY OF MIAMI, FLORID/� INTER -OFFICE MEMORANDUM To: Honor le Mayor and Members ofA City Commission FROM : Cesar H. Odio City Manager DATE : August 27, 1991 SUBJECT. Labor Day Concert at Bicentennial Park REFERENCES: ENCLOSURES: FILE : This memorandum is to advise you that the Department of Parks and Recreation was first contacted by representatives of Cellar Door Booking, WSHE Radio, and Professional Events Services, Inc., the second week of August to discuss the possibility of them using Bicentennial Park to present a music concert on Labor Day, September 2, 1991. These representatives indicated the concert would be free of admission charges, begin at 12:00 Noon and conclude at approximately 7:00 P.M. A total of five (5) bands are scheduled to perform for an estimated crowd of 25,000 to 40,000 persons throughout the day. We have negotiated a guaranteed fee of $10,000 for this one day activity. We recommend this flat rate guarantee because it insures a substantial revenue source for the City with no investment nor risk of cancellation due to such factors as rain; provides the community with yet another recreational/entertainment activity and increases the public's exposure to Bicentennial Park. In addition, it should be noted the promoter will be responsible to provide all required insurances naming the City as an additional insured, and pay all event related expenses including concessions and beer/wine permit fees. This payment will entitle the event promoter to utilize ,Bicentennial Park for the concert as well as agreed upon areas of the F.E.C. and Watson Island properties for parking of cars on the day of the event. The event promoter will also be permitted to collect and retain a $5.00 per car parking charge as a condition of the $10,000 user fee. As this request was brought to our attention during the month that the City Commission is in recess, and the event is to be held prior to the next regularly scheduled meeting, I am seeking your approval for this action through this memorandum. Due to time constraints, if I do not hear from your respected offices by 12:00 Noon on August 28, 1991, I -will assume your initial I V 40 } AUG 1991
