The proposed Ordinance'. has been carefully considered and the process of acquiring a "Commercial Photographic Permit" has been simplified to the maximum extent consistent with good management principles Also,` the rental rates proposed for use of City Facilities for commercial photographic purposes are reasonable, and competitive with those being charged elsewhere for similar commercial activities The enclosure to this-mernorandum provides some examples of rates charged by other major stadiums throughout the country. The Department of Public Facilities recommends passage of the proposed Ordinance. � y� .i p y � `� y� qe, ' h riot mL L o t F.YL - �....:t...•`:.I i. ,,m i*;,.< r. r w�-µj li 11hG1" tlt a r� �{. ,m„..•.`w.'...: t � l i. li t'1 r U 'J._-_ V.7 46.1 ll1l1FLt: "Cr Omiii r ski{f�Ua�i l 'ids A AtAo Oo� it: tt (film. yP lltf� Minute,'WFii'11,i:1''ia � ;x'Cr,i't'uiy fi: med ai; t b is St;aCtium ter83 days at $L 500 pee.
