This is a fundraising event for the MBSH-PTA, with all proceeds to benefit students of Miami Beach Senior High School. The Miami International Boat Show, like many Special Events, increases the demand for available parking in the City. The use of this area for parking for this event would alleviate the increased parking demand and create less of an inconvenience for those citizens who live in the area. Approval is recommended, conditioned on the following: That all profits generated by this fundraising event go exclusively to the MBSH-PTA for the benefit of Miami Beach Senior High School; , That the subject permission is granted without establishing a precedent so as to satisfy the unique situation created by a severe parking shortage in the City during the Boat Show; .

That MBSH-PTA must properly install and maintain a secure perimeter for all landscaping; specifically, the flower beds, irrigation timers, and irrigation heads must be "flagged". The preferred method of restriction would be wooden stakes and rope. Alternative methods may be proposed by MBSH-PTA; however, it must be approved by the City Manager or his designee; That MBSH-PTA will charge $15.00 for the preferred parking spaces or a fixed fiat fee for the duration of the Boat Show, primarily targeted for exhibitor use. The flat rate parking fee to be assessed to users in the back lot will be consistent with the City Parking Department's Citywide Boat Show Park and Ride plan; . The MBSH-PTA must assure that vehicles are parked propedywithin the confines of the swale area. Vehicles (or any portion thereof) obstructing pedestrian access may be cited and/or impounded; and 10. A signage plan should be submitted to the City at least 48 hours prior to the event. This arrangement has been in place for the past two decades in partnership with MBSH-PTA or the Police Athletic League (PAL). Therefore, it is recommended that the Mayor and City Commission adopt this Resolution and permit the MBSH-PTA to use the properties which would ease the parking problems caused by the Boat Show and will allow the PTA to have their fundraiser for the school.
