Subject: REVISED-NEW YEAR'S EVE 2002.2003

The purpose of this Letter to the Commission is to provide the Mayor and Commission
with the most recent update regarding the New Year's holiday from, Tuesday,
December 31, 2002 through Wednesday, January 1, 2003.
The City of Miami Beach is sponsoring a free Fireworks show on the beach east of
Lummus Park at midnight on New Year's Eve. On Friday, December 27,2002, the
Ocean Drive Association (OOA) was able to procure public liability insurance and
provide the indemnity as required pursuant to our guidelines, and therefore, the
ODA have elected to proceed with a street closure of Ocean Drive on New Year's
Eve from 3:00 p.m. on December 31,2002 through 4:00 a.m. on January 2,2003.
While several special events permits have been issued primarily at private venues, no
significant crowd attracting event is planned. Additionally, many Miami Beach
nightclubs and hotels, which will be hosting special New Years events, will be extending
their hours of operation from 5:00 a.m. to 7:00 a.m.
The City has been working diligently with the area hotels and nightclubs to ensure that
resources and security are appropriately allocated for this weekend. Attached is the
most recent nightclub and hotel event listing.
