ANALYSIS
The Miami Beach Senior High School Parent Teachers Association (MBSH-PTA)
requested permission to use the Dada Boulevard swale adjacent to the school for parking
during the 2004 Boat Show, for parking of vehicles of persons who will be attending the
2004 Miami International Boat Show, from February 12-17, 2004, for a fundraising event.
The Miami International Boat Show, like other Special Events, increases the parking
problems that occur in the City. The use of this vacant lot for parking for this event would
alleviate the increased parking demand and create less of an inconvenience for those
citizens who live in the area.
In addition, the Parents Teachers Association will:
1. Hire an off-duty police officer to direct traffic for the ingress and egress on Dada
Boulevard.
2. Restore the property in the same condition as it was before the use.
3. Obtain a General Liability Certificate of Insurance naming the City as an additional
named insured.
MBSH-PTA must properly install and maintain a secure perimeter for all landscaping.
Specifically, the flower beds, irrigation timers, and irrigation heads must be ~agged".
The preferred method of restriction would be rebar and rope. Alternative methods
may be proposed by MBSH-PTA; however, it must be approved by designee.
o
The MBSH-PTA may elect to charge a preferred parking rate for use at the swale
area and parking in proximity to the Convention Center. The MBSH-PTAwill charge
$15.00 for the preferred parking spaces and may also elect to charge a fixed flat fee
to reserve a space for the duration of the Boat Show, primarily targeted for exhibitor
use. The fiat rate parking fee to be assessed to users of this facility in the back lot will
be consistent with the (City's) Parking Department's Citywide Boat Show Park and
Ride plan. The maximum parking fee in the back lot should not exceed $10.00 per
vehicle/per day.
Parking attendants must ensure that vehicles are parked properly within the confines
of the swale area. Vehicles (or any portion thereof) obstructing pedestrian access
may be cited and/or impounded.
It is recommended that the Mayor and City Commission adopt this Resolution and permit the
MBSH-PTA to use the properties which would ease the parking problems caused by the Boat
Show and will allow the PTA to have their fundraiser for the school.
