PURPOSE:
To uniformly administer the numerous requests for waiver of fees,
to assist the City in conforming to existing laws, to encourage
activities 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:
1. 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 circumstances where a minimum fee shall be charged. The
"minimum fee" shall be one-half the regularly scheduled fee, and
shall be applicable, as follows:
Where the project, event or activity serves a public
purpose or will have significant positive impact
upon the cultural and/or economic well being of the
City; and
Where either

No admission is to be charged patrons of the event,
project or activity; or
The entire income (after event costs) is donated to
a nonprofit public service agency or for a purpose
which promotes or maintains the general welfare,
comfort, education, morals, peace, government, or
health of the City or its inhabitants.
b. Where the request for the application of a "minimum fee"
originates from an agency or instrumentality of the United
States Government, the State of Florida, Dade County or any
municipality in Dade County and the event, project or activity
is not a part of the normal or routine operations of such
agency or instrumentality.
_The City Manager will handle requests for the application of
a minimum use fee and he is authorized to grant those requests,
provided they meet the above criteria.
In the event the City Manager is unable to make a determination
as to the compliance with the above criteria, or the City Manager
finds that the above criteria are not met, the City Commission
may make its own determination as to the compliance and grant-
ing of the request for the application of the minimum fee.

1, Ali Overtime labor charges, utilities costs, insutanee, security
deposits and other costs related to events held in City facilities
ot 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 state-
ment of a previously unwritten policy.
4= When the City permits the application of a minimum fee to a request-
ing organization for a project, event or activity that involves
the raising of funds, the granting of the minimum fee carries with
it the requirement that a detailed accounting of funds received
and disbursed must be submitted to the City Manager within 30 days
of the conclusion of such event. This financial accounting must
also include a statement 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 desiring to use City facilities
5, It is the policy of the City Commission that no full waiver of
fee be granted.
