On behalf of the LGBT Business Enhancement Committee

SUBJECT: Hours of Operation for Clubs & Bars during Special LGBT Events
Please be advised that during its regularly scheduled meeting of July lOth, 2012, the Miami

to prevent these events from relocating from the City of Miami Beach to other vibrant areas of
Miami-Dade County where loser restrictions apply.
The motion was presented by Committee Member Willis "Chip" Arndt, Jr. and second by
Committee Member Billy Kemp. Any questions and/or concerns regarding this item may be
directed to Committee Chairman Ivan Cano who may be contacted at 305-319-2693 or by
