*Civic Center - shall be a public location where members of the community can gather for group activities, social support, public
information, and other purposes. City Ordinance 2013 “The Free Dictionary Online by Farlex”
What is a“Civic Center?”
Our intent is to improve our event delivery and to use local vendors and comply with the State
recommended best practice
The state provided us a list of many other Cities within NE and Central Florida who also have state license. Several examples are parks
designations as Civic Centers. (Attachment) (need to see these)
Rationale:
North East & Central Florida Area Parks That
Currently Hold Civic Center Designations:
JacksonvilleMetropolitan Park
City of LargoCentral Park
Miramar Civic Center
and Aquatic Complex
LakelandSports Complex
State requires City’s designation of a Civic Center via City Ordinance
Apply for Annual Consumption License with Civic Center designation $250
Permit required by State per event to sell - $25 (max of 15 annually)
State License Process as outlined by the State of Florida Statutes
Therefore$250 + (3 events X $25) = $325
annuallyvs. $1,550 for an unlimited retail license
Economics Gross Bar Sales by License Holder (out of town): Rock N’ Rib – $16,700 Seafood Festival (avg.) – $8,176 Int’l Food & Wine Festival (City only) – $6,508
City Estimated Expenses (2013 Rib Fest)- $6,200 $1,250 bar mgmt./staff, product $3,500 + rentals $1,500
Revenues reinvested into the events allow us to reduce prices
for guests i.e.: 2013 Rock N’ Rib $3 admission
Benefits No impact on:
Local non-profits City liability Current alcohol consumption at events
Keeping dollars local - we will be able to use local vendors … at last
Consistent with State requirements Maintains Central Park as our community gathering
place for a variety of events Revenues reinvested into the events allow us to reduce
prices for guests – i.e.: 2013 Rock N’ Rib $3 admission
Events Such As These…
Showcase” Palm Coast to Visitors Provide fun and entertainment to our
residents Prosperity 2021
Our Goal:
Make our local events “better”, not bigger.”
