Subject: Ordinance for the amendment of fees associated with the use of the Miami Marine Stadium parking
lot.
Background Information:
Section 53-53 of the Code of the City of Miami ("City") provides for the "Rental Rates and Associated Charges
and Conditions" of Marine Stadium. The existing Code allows use of the Marine Stadium parking lot for a fee
payable in advance of the greater of $2,000.00 per day or $15 per square foot or portion thereof. This fee does
not include event costs such as electricity used, security, electricians, cleanup, police department personnel
required for traffic control and crowd control, etc., which are paid by the user.
The current fee structure was adopted in October 2010 at which time the City projected revenues of $25,766.00
for fiscal year 2011 based on tentatively scheduled events. Several event promoters have requested to be
placed on the Marine Stadium parking lot calendar for their special events, which are primarily triathlons. The
event promoters desire to utilize Marine Stadium because of its accessibility to the basin and Rickenbacker
Causeway for these types of events. Some event promoters previously used Miami -Dade County's Crandon
Park but were restricted due to the inability to advertise that is imposed by Miami -Dade County's Master Plan.
The current fee structure does not lend itself to establishing the City as being comparable with other
government imposed fees for these types of events. Based on the tentative schedule of events at the Marine
Stadium parking Idt, the City projects revenues to be $72,500.00, with this proposed amendment to the
Ordinance. Therefore, it is in the City's best interest to ensure that any future requests by users of the Marine
Stadium parking lot pay the amended fee, which is recommended to be $750.00 per day for a commercial, video
shoot or feature imagery, and for all other uses the assessed fee shall be $2,500.00 per day up to five days.
Usage of the parking lot beyond five days shall be assessed at fair market return, containing a severability
clause, and providing for an immediate Effective Date.
