TO: Mayor Matti Herrera Bower and Members of the City Commission
FROM: GLBT Business Enhancement Committee
DATE: May 9, 2013
SUBJECT: Extended Hour for Four Event Weekend
Dear Mayor and Honorable City Commission:
In an effort to show the city's support of its Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender
(LGBT) residents and further extend its position as a welcoming premier gay
destination, our Business Enhancement Committee kindly recommends that you
support a request to develop a year's calendar of events to be granted extended
hours of operation for four event weekends. The event weekends that will be
impacted by this benefit are White Party, Winter Party Festival, Miami Beach Gay
Pride and Aqua Girl. Your support for the extension of bar hours will let certain
businesses and events increase not just their profits but also contribute to our
city's image as a place where the LGBT community is celebrated and always
welcomed.
Thank you for your consideration of this proposal.
