SS --112: icami Rock 'Prod uctlohs Inc. October 28, 1985 Susan McKay Parks and Recreation Department 2600 S. Bayshore Dr. Miami, FL 33133 Dear Ms. McKay, On December 1, 1985 Miami Rock Productions Inc. in association with The Africa Fund through the Sun City account is planning Reggae Fest '85 in Peacock Park to benefit the anti-apartheid cause in South Africa. At the time we are submitting this proposal to you we have not yet received a formal letter of endorsement from The Africa Fund, but I have requested one from the organization and I will file it with you as soon as it arrives. Reggae Fest '85 will begin at 12:00 noon on Sunday December 1, 1985, and will run until 6:00pm the same day. Five to six Reggae bands will be performing for forty-five minutes each. We will not be charging any admission to the show as all funds will be coming from sponsors and advertisers. The stage will be the City of Miami's 32' X 16' showmobile stage, and will be set up in the far corner of Peacock Park closest to, the bay and the back fence. Our sound technicians (Off The Wall Sound, 944-2988) will connect into the City's power line to provide the show with power. We plan also to set up approximatly five food and drink concessions on the baseball diamond, ~ including one concession serving beer. There will also be a booth or booths accepting donations for the anti-apartheid charity. I spoke with Officer Samuel Stubbs of The City of Miami Off Duty Police Department who recommended six officers and one sergeant for the festival security, which I have agreed to hire. We will also hire some security men of our own, mainly to work the backstage area. I have been speaking with Louis DeJesus of the Parks and Rec- reation Department about the stage, clean-up crews, and insurance, and I am arranging to use the City of Miami clean-up crew, and I have also arranged for liability insurance to cover the audience, concessionaires, and all persons involved with the production of Reggae Fest '85. We will be promoting this event on local radio stations including WLVE(LOVE-94), WSHE, and WEDR. Printed material such as posters and flyers will be distributed throughout the city, universities, and store front windows. We will also try to attract local television P.O.
