Subject: Resolution authorizing the use by Miami -Dade County of a portion of the Marine
Stadium parking lot and of Arthur Lamb Junior Road in Virginia Key during the 2007 Sony
Ericsson Tennis Tournament.
Background Information:
The Sony Ericsson Tennis Tournament (the "Tournament") is scheduled for March 21 through
April 1, 2007. Miami -Dade County has requested to use Marine Stadium's parking lot and a portion of
Virginia Key along Arthur Lamb Junior Road east to the Miami -Dade Water and Sewer Plant, both
located on the Rickenbacker Causeway, Miami, Florida, to provide temporary parking for event staff
and patrons. The City has determined these areas are not needed by other City Departments at this

the County's use of City owned parking at Marine Stadium for this tennis tournament. This year, the
Tournament in conjunction with the County will be providing tickets for youth participants of the City's
'Parks and Recreation.
The letter of agreement granting the County permission to use City parking will require (1) the
County to indemnify and hold harmless the City to the extent of the limitation included within Florida
Statutes; (2) that they clean up the areas of use before, during and after the tennis tournament; and, (3)
that they provide admission to the Tournament for underprivileged youth participants of the City of
Miami Parks and Recreation programs.
