COLONY THEATER
In July of 2004, the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2004-25646, establishing rental
rates for the Byron Carlyle, Colony and Little Stage theaters. These rates were determined after
a detailed examination of rates charged by similar venues in South Florida and elsewhere, and
included fee schedules for non-profit organizations as well as for commercial users. On July 11,
2007, the City Commission adopted Resolution No. 2007-26594 establishing additional rental

At the August 22, 2012 Finance and Citywide Projects Committee meeting the Administration
presented a number of potential revenue enhancements, including modifications to the Colony
Theater's rental and fee structure, for the Committee's consideration. Following the
presentation and subsequent discussion, the Committee recommended the following be
incorporated into the FY 2012-13 General Fund operating budget and forwarded to the full City
Commission:
. $1 Facility Fee Surcharge: The surcharge would be added to the cost of each ticket sold
and is projected to generate approximately $5,600 in additional revenue at the Colony
Theater. This projection is based on the number of tickets sold annually.
• Ticket Revenue Share Program: Rather than charging the standard theater and
equipment rental fees, the City would share in 30% of the ticket revenue generated.
Qualifying groups would be selected based on a history of successful ticket sales. Based
on historical data Global Spectrum projects approximately$20,000 is additional revenue.
FISCAL IMPACT
The new Fire Rescue Transport fees are estimated to generate an additional $ 192,000 in
revenue. Based on previous rentals of the North Shore Open Space Park pavilions it is
estimated this modification will generate an additional $14,000 annually and the hourly staffing
fee modification will generate $25,000 annually. Additionally, historical data, indicates the City
will generate $5,600 annually from the Facility Fee Surcharge and $20,000 from the Ticket
Revenue Share Program.
