BACKGROUND
Footvolley is a growing international sport, created in Brazil, combining soccer and beach
volleyball. The Pro Footvolley Tour, a for-profit operation, will host the 2018 World Footvolley

Sergio Menezes, the President of the Pro Footvolley Tour, is a University of Miami graduate, a
long-time Miami Beach resident, and competed for team USA in Rio de Janeiro 2016 and was
featured on NBC Sports in primetime.
ANALYSIS
For the 2018 Miami Beach event, the producer is requesting a waiver of relevant special event
application, permit fees,vehicle fees, square footage fees and user fees estimated to be no more
than$5,000. The Administration can provide more specific estimates once the producer provides
a detailed schedule and site plan requirements. The City Manager is authorized to waive special
event application, permit and vehicle access pass fees for not-for-profit applicants seeking such
waivers. The City Commission can waive additional event special event fees, including square
footage fee, user fee and police and fire administrative fees. The Commission has previously
waived all event fees for for-profit applicants, like Pro Footvolley Tour, including recently for the
Air and Sea Show, Major League Baseball's All Star Game Fan Fest and the Miami Beach
Bowl. In addition to event fee waivers, the producer is requesting the City provide a $15,000
sponsorship to the event, to assist with costs that cannot be waived.
This event sponsorship was recommended to the Commission by FCWPC on December 13,
2017, prior to the adoption of the City's new Sponsorship Ordinance (Chapter 12, Section III).

Sponsorship Ordinance (Chapter 12, Section III).
BACKGROUND
Footvolley is a growing international sport, created in Brazil, combining soccer and beach volleyball.
The Pro Footvolley Tour, a for-profit operation, will host the 2018 World Footvolley Classic in Miami
Beach at the North Beach Bandshell on April 6th, 2018 through April 8th, 2018. Sergio Menezes, the
President of the Pro Footvolley Tour, is a University of Miami graduate, a long-time Miami Beach
resident, and competed for team USA in Rio de Janeiro 2016 and was featured on NBC Sports in
primetime.
ANALYSIS
For the 2018 Miami Beach event, the producer is requesting a waiver of relevant special event
application, permit fees, vehicle fees, square footage fees and user fees assumed by to be under
$5000. The Administration can provide more specific estimates once the producer provides detailed
schedule and site plan requirements. The City Manager is authorized to waive special event
application, permit and vehicle access pass fees for not-for-profit applicants seeking such waivers.
The City Commission can waive additional event special event fees, including square footage fee,
user fee and police and fire administrative fees. The Commission has previously waived all event
fees for for-profit applicants, like Pro Footvolley Tour, including recently for the Air and Sea Show,
Major League Baseball's All Star Game Fan Fest and the Miami Beach Bowl. In addition to event
fee waivers, the producer is requesting the City provide a $15,000 sponsorship to the event, to assist
with costs that cannot be waived.
Special events taking place in Miami Beach which seek funding typically apply through the Miami
Page 846 of 1522
Beach Visitor and Convention Authority ("MBVCA"), a public-private entity that offers reimbursable
grants from resort tax collection. The approval and value of these grants is based on target criteria
the event must demonstrate, including Miami Beach hotel room nights and media impressions. The
minimum number of Miami Beach hotel room nights for MBVCA grant consideration is 350, unless
the event occurs in North Beach, where the minimum requirement is 75 Miami Beach hotel room
nights. This event came together quickly, taking advantage of the recent announcement of the El
Classico soccer match, a major soccer exhibition featuring Real Madrid versus Barcelona, taking
place at Hard Rock Stadium on July 29, 2017, during the dates of the Footvolley Tour. The
Footvolley Tour producer is eager to take advantage of the media attention and fan attendance
coming to South Florida for the El Classico soccer match, hoping it will bring more attention to the
Footvolley Tour. As a result of the timing of the recent announcement about El Classico, the
Footvolley Tour was unable to apply for an MBVCA grant, as the deadline for grant approval in this
period had elapsed. The event producer estimates the Footvolley Tour will bring approximately 150
hotel room nights to the City of Miami Beach.
This event sponsorship was recommended to the Commission by FCWPC on December 13,
2018, prior to the adoption of the City's new Sponsorship Ordinance (Chapter 12, Section Ill).
CONCLUSION
The Finance and Citywide Projects Committee (FCWPC) recommended a City Sponsorship for the
2018 Footvolley World Classic on December 13, 2018 prior to the adoption of the City's new
Sponsorship Ordinance (Chapter 12, Section III).
