All expenses charged to the General Fund seed money account are being transferred to the Marine Stadium operating budget. The final cost of the E.S.P.N. coverage was $9,000. At this same meeting a grant of $100,000 was accepted from Anheuser-Busch as purse money for the Regatta. The Florida Inboard Racing Club, (F.I.R.C.), which had assisted the City in staging thirteen consecutive Champion Spark Plug Regattas, joined with the City to co-sponsor the Budweiser Unlimited Regatta. An agreement was made with the F.I.R.C. to divide all event revenues and expenses with the City. The City entered into a separate agreement with Anheuser-Busch to implement payment of the $100,000 purse money to the Unlimited Racing Commission. At the May 24, 1984 Commission meeting, the City Manager was authorized by Motion 84-595 to sign these two agreements for the City; ratification of the City Manager's execution of these agreements followed at the June 14, 1984 Commission meeting with Resolution 84-612. Commissioner J.L. Plummer Jr., who was appointed by the Commission as its liaison with the City administration for the Regatta, directed every organizational meeting of a "Regatta Committee" composed of representatives of the F.I.R.C., Anheuser-Busch and several City departments. These meetings set a solid foundation for a successful event. After paying all event expenses incurred by the City and the F.I.R.C. and all State sales taxes, an event profit of $19,763.00 was available for division between the City and its co-sponsor, the F.I.R.C. A check for one-half of the profits in the amount of $9,881.50 is being prepared for presentation to representatives of the F.I.R.C. at the October 10, 1984 Commission meeting.
