and Recreation
The Festival Advisory Committee met November 28, 29, 30, and Decem-
ber 1, and will be presenting their recommendations to the City
Commission on December 8, 1983, via its Chairperson, Dr. Rolando
Amador.
They have allocated the alloted amount of $186,000 and have also
recommended additional funding in the amount of $64,000, for a
total of $250,000.
The Festival Advisory Committee has made the following recommenda-
tions:
1. Since 80% of monies requested are for City services, such
as Police, Fire, Sanitation, and Rental Waiver; a specific
amount be allocated in the yearly budget for said services
so as the committee may recommend additional funding for
items not related to in -kind services.
2. That big festivals strive for a higher percentage of pri-
vate support and eventually be totally self supportive.
3. That specifically Mr. Marshall Reingold's proposal from
Milwaukee, to hold a Food Festival in Coconut Grove, be
further researched as to the background of the promoter
and that if this investigation by the Legal Department is
satisfactory, the City commit $10,000 as an investment.
4. The Dance Miami Proposal was dismissed, for not being
hel.: in Miami, or the U.S.A., but in Panama.
5. The Amistad Productions is recommended as a good idea,
but must be referred to the City Manager, as it is not
a festival.
6. That the International Folk Festival be funded through
the yearly City Budget as it is a City function, in the
amount of $34,000.
Enclosed, please find a list of organizations with levels of funds
allocated by the committee.
