Dear Mr. Varona:
I have received your request to waive the rental fees and costs
for the use of the Miami Stadium on Saturday, April 19, 1980.
The City Commission has established a policy regarding the reduction
of rental fees for City facilities in Commission Policy #100-1.
This policy authorizes me to grant up to 112 the regularly charged
rental fee providing the sponsoring organization meets certain
criteria. (1) that no admission is to be charged for the event
and (2) that the entire income (after event costs) is donated to a
charitable organization.
Since your organization meets the criteria established by the City
Commission by charging no admission fee, I do hereby grant the
reduction in the normal rental fee for use of this facility. Since
the normal rental fee is $2,000 per day your organization will be
charged $1,000. You will be responsible for all other costs
associated with the use of the Miami Stadium.
By copy of this letter to Mr. Walter E. Golby, Stadiums Manager of
this facility, I am authorizing him to prepare the standard contract
with the provision that the rental charge will be $1,000.
I am pleased to of fer•the City's support in this endeavor.
Sincerely,
/'Joseph R. Grassie Vi L � J

Translation of a letter from Manuel A. Varona, President of the Junta
Patriotica Cubana, to Mr. Cesar H. Odio, Assistant City Manager, City
of Miami.
April 16, 1980
Dear Mr. Odio:
This letter serves to request authorization of the City of Miami for use
of the City's stadium, on the evening of Saturday, April 19, beginning
at 7:00 PM.
The idea is to gather together all cubans in a patriotic act, denouncing
the violation of human rights in Cuba, and supporting the declarations
made by the Governor of the State of New Jersey requesting that the
10,800 exiles in the Peruvian Embassy be received by the United States of
America.
The necessary steps will be taken to ensure the proper protection and
cooperation of the police.
We entreat you to promptly provide us with your authorization, so that we
may publicize the convocation to this act, which will provide an outlet
for the restlessness of the Cuban exiles in Miami.
Sincerely,
Manuel A. Varona

COMMISSION POLICY
SUBJECT:
A policy concerning requests for waiver of fees for use of City of
Miami facilities and equipment.
PURPOSE:
To uniformly administer the numerous requests for waiver of fees, to
assist the City in conforming to existing laws, to encourage activi-
ties which benefit the community, and to ensure that City facilities
generate sufficient user revenue to offset the cost of maintaining
those facilities and to provide sufficient revenue to amortize the
City's capital investment in those facilities.
POLICY:
It is the policy of the Miami City Commission that all users of City
facilities and equipment for which rental fees are normally charged
shall pay the currently scheduled rates, except under certain cir-
cumstances where a minimum fee shall be charged. The "minimum fee"
shall be one-half the regularly scheduled fee, and shall be applicable
1. Where the project, ev,2nt or activity serves a public purpose
or will have signi-ficant positive impact upon the cultural
and/or economic well being of the City and where either
a. No admission is to be charged patrons of the event,
project or activity; or
b. The entire income (after event costs) is donated to
a charitable organization recognized as such by the
City Manager or the City Commission.
2. Where the request for the application of a "minimum fee"
originates from an agency or instrumentality of the united
States 3overnment, the stat(, of Florida, Dade County or any
municipality in Da�lt-� County and the event, project or acti-
vity is not a part of the normal or routine operations of
such agericy or i.nstrum(2ntality.
The City Mlanaqr will hairdlc request: for the application of a minimum
fee and is authorized to grant these requests if, in his opinion, they
meet the above criteria.
Where these requests for fee waivers or application of a minimum fee do
not meet the above criteria, the City Commission may grant the application
of a minimum fee where there is determined to be a public purpose. It is
the policy of the Commission that no waiver of fees will be granted.
page 1 of 2
All overtime labor charges, utilities costs, insurance, security de-
posits and other costs related to events held in City facilities or
in conjunction with City equipment must be paid in full by the user.
It is the policy of the City Commission that these charges will not
be waived or reduced. This represents a formal statement of a previ-
ously unwritten policy.
When the City permits the application of a minimum fee to a requesting
organization for a project, event or activity that involves the raising
of funds, the granting of the minimum fee carries with it the require-
ment that a detailed accounting__9f_funds xeceived_and disbursed _must_
be submitted to the City Manager within thirty days of the conclusion_
of such event. This financial accounting must also includa2 a state-
ment of how net profits (income after event costs) are distributed and
in what amounts. It is also the policy of the City Commission that all
organizations granted the minimum fee be required to follow the same
application and investigation procedures as all other applicants de-
siring to use City facilities.
