A RESOLUTION OF THE MIAMI CITY COMMISSION AUTHORIZING A WAIVER
FROM CALCULATION OF TOTAL GROSS SALES AND TICKET SURCHARGE,
OF THE VALUE OF 3,800 TICKETS SOLD BY THE UNIVERSITY OF MIAMI ("UM")
TO FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY ("FIU"), FOR THE SEPTEMBER 15,
2007, GAME BETWEEN UM AND FIU, WHICH TICKETS WERE SOLD AT A
NOMINAL PRICE FOR USE BY STUDENTS OF FIU.
WHEREAS, the City of Miami ("City") and the University of Miami ("UM") entered into an
agreement on June 22, 1990 ("Agreement"), for UM's use of the Orange Bowl for the staging of its
football games; and
WHEREAS, said Agreement provides for UM to pay a Use Fee equal to 10% of the total gross
actual ticket sales actually received by UM, less any applicable taxes and less the ticket surcharge to
the admission price; and
WHEREAS, the Agreement addresses the issuance of complimentary tickets but does not address
the payment of the ticket surcharge and percentage of gross ticket sales on discounted tickets; and
WHEREAS, UM sold Florida International University ("FIU") 2500 tickets at $1, per ticket and 1300
tickets at $10, per ticket; and
WHEREAS, given the location of these tickets, 800 of these tickets would have sold for $47, each
and 3000 would have sold for $20, each; and
WHEREAS, UM has requested that the value of the 3800 tickets be excluded from the calculation
of the Use Fee and ticket surcharge; and
WHEREAS, the City has determined it to be in the best interest of the parties to grant this request;
