Morales, City Manager DATE: July 17, 2019 SUBJECT:A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, APPROVING A WAIVER OF MIAMI BEACH CONVENTION CENTER RENTAL FEES, IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $33,100, FOR THE USE OF THE GRAND BALLROOM FOR THE 2020 4WARD AMERICAS EVENT TO BE HELD ON THURSDAY, MAY 14, 2020 AND FRI DAY, MAY 15, 2020. RECOMMENDATION The Administration recommends that the Mayor and Commission approve the fee rental waivers for 4WARD to be held at the Miami Beach Convention Center, in an amount not to exceed $33,170.00. ANALYSIS 4WARD Miami, Inc, created under the leadership of Damian Pardo, a long time activist and financial advisor, and Joe Cardona, an op-ed opinion writer for the Miami Herald, began in 2015 with the Miami Foundation as its fiscal agent. The mission of the organization is to blur the lines that divide us in South Florida by promoting civic engagement, social justice and community empowerment through its programming including the Gay8 Festival suggested to be the largest LGBTQ Hispanic/Latino festival attracting thousands and the 4Ward Americas an LGBTI Human Rights Symposium and Business Expo and the production of select documentary films and other year long programming. 4WARD is requesting a rental fee waiver of the Miami Beach Convention Center for the Ocean Drive ballroom to host 4Ward Americas on February 14-15, 2020 from 9:00am - 4:30pm for approximately 200 attendees. Tickets for the event will be $100 each. Miami Beach residents will get 100 tickets at a 25%discount. See Exhibit A. The rental fee waiver would amount to $33,170 and the Ocean Drive Ballroom is currently available on the date requested. The event was previously held in the University of Miami Neuman Alumni Center but the organization believes MBCC is a better geographical location and venue. They explain that as a non-profit, they would like to maximum their funds on their presentation. The organizations shared that 4Ward Americas was founded in 2017 as a way of connecting communities that are difficult to connect. The event is part of the Gay8 Festival Weekend and they Page 361 of 1502 want to take on topics involving global human rights and break those topics down to local issues (e.g. living wage, prison reform, etc.) and demonstrate how the business community can help lead the way. The conference hopes to inform and motivate attendees to work toward diversity and inclusion as a way of eliminating barriers between diverse neighborhoods and people. As part of the rental waiver application, 4Ward has submitted a copy of their 501c3 designation, recent audited financial statement or IRS Form 990, CPA prepared Compilation, Review or Audited financial statement for the same period as the Form 990 -the financial statement includes a Balance Sheet, Profit and Loss and Statement of Cash Flow; an event budget disclosing all sources and uses of funds related to the event, including the use of the requested rental waiver; and a list of all corporate and private sponsorships and in-kind contributions to be used for the event - including backup materials for the sponsorships and in-kind contributions. If the rental waiver is approved, the City shall receive sponsorship recognition on all media or promotional platforms related to the Event at the same sponsorship level as other sponsors providing financial or other support comparable to the City's sponsorship. CONCLUSION The Administration, together with the Spectra MBCC team, approve and recommend the rental waiver.
