Winter Party Light Post Banners
The City of Miami Beach Code requires that the City Commission approve, via resolution, the number,
placement and design of all citywide light post banners. Since its codification, no banner resolution has ever
been denied by the City Commission.
Due to miscommunication between the Winter Party and AAA Banners, the Winter Party light post banner
paperwork, after approval of the City's Design Review, was not submitted to the Special Events Office and the
resolution approving the banners was never placed on the Commission agenda.
The Winter Party event is on March 11, 2001 and the next Commission meeting is on March 14, 2001.
Therefore, there is no way of getting a resolution approved by the Commission before the event.
After consulting with the Legal Department, a possible solution was found. Legal recommended that the City
Manager, if he/she deemed appropriate, could administratively approve the light post banners for the Wmter
Party and place it on the next Commission meeting for retroactive approval.
The Winter Party, a fundraising dance party for the Dade Human Rights Foundation, has been produced in
Miami Beach for the past seven years and began placing light post banners throughout the City last year.
There are no conflicts with other light post banners during this time.

be subject to the design review process and approved by the City Commission and the Public
Works Department.

(2) Banners shall not exceed three feet in width by seven feet in length. Banners may be double-
sided. The color, design and material of all banners shall be approved under the design review
process.
(3) Banners announcing special events either to be held in city or to be associated in some manner
with the city, as determined by the City Commission, may be erected up to 30 days prior to the
event being announced and must be removed within seven days after such event. Special event
banners shall require approval by the City Commission.
(4) A perfonnance bond shall be required to ensure the removal of the banners in case of advanced
deterioration of the banners, or if a dangerous condition presents itself, the city may at its sole
discretion direct banners to be removed at any time.
The purpose of the banners is to promote and welcome participants of The Winter Party. The Wmter Party
is the signature fundraiser for the Dade Human Rights Foundation. The Winter Party is celebrating its 8th
year in the City of Miami Beach, and relies on these banners to help publicize the event.
Due to miscommunication between the Winter Party and AAA Banners, the Winter Party light post banner
paperwork, after approval of the City's Design Review, was not submitted to the Special Events Division
and the resolution approving the banners was never placed on the Commission agenda.
The Winter Party event is on March 11, 2001 and the next Commission meeting is on March 14, 2001.
Therefore, there is no way of getting a resolution approved by the Commission before the event.
After consulting with the Legal Department, it was recommended that the City Manager, could
administratively approve the light post banners for the Winter Party and place the item on the next
Commission meeting for retroactive approval by the City Commission.
The City Commission should retroactively approve the installation of the subject light pole banners for The
Winter Party, previously held in the City of Miami Beach, from March 8,2001 to March 12, 2001.
