COMMISSION MEMORANDUM

TO:Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission 
FROM:Vice-Mayor Michael Gongora 
DATE:February  13, 2019
 



SUBJECT:REFERRAL TO FINANCE AND CITYWIDE PROJECTS COMMITTEE TO DISCUSS THE SOUTH BEACH SEAFOOD FESTIVAL.

ANALYSIS

Please place on the February 13 Commission agenda, a referral to the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee to discuss waiving City fees for the South Beach Seafood Festival.  This is the premier seafood festival in Miami Beach, which is a high-end experience that showcases the talents of South Florida’s leading chefs and culinary masterminds via a diverse group of events. The seafood festival benefits a great cause with CI Foundation’s EAT SMART program, a program that provides healthy meals and nutritional guidance to Florida’s youth.  I believe this event to be important to Miami Beach and would like to consider their request for waiver of fees customary with other festivals.  Please feel free to contact Diana Fontani should you need any additional information.
