Staff Summary: This music festival, held at Hard Rock Stadium, is not just a concert; it is a high-class event that has put the City of Miami Gardens on the map as a thriving City and destination, showcasing its people, community, and businesses. The Jazz in the Gardens music festival has become one of the premiere spring events in the southeastern region of the United States. Based on the overwhelming response received in past years, the City has 18605 NW 27 Avenue Miami Gardens, Florida 33055 strategically positioned Jazz in the Gardens as a national event, rapidly gaining increased recognition and visibility. Staff has begun planning for the 2018 event. This is critical in order to properly solicit national sponsors while capitalizing on the energy generated by the success of the 2017 event. We anticipate that performing artists, advertising, marketing and production expenditures in several areas will exceed the City Manager's authority as prescribed under the City’s Purchasing Ordinance. If staff is required to bring each of these matters back to Council for approval, we would have difficulty negotiating the various agreements for these services in a timely manner. As such, we request authorization to allow the City Manager to exceed his purchasing authority, as it relates to the expenditures for the 2018 Jazz in the Gardens events. Fiscal Impact Depends on the negotiations by the City Manager, staff will ensure the contract amount and other expenses related to the 2018 Jazz in the Gardens event have been budgeted in the FY 2018 budget. Proposed Action: We recommended that City Council approve this Resolution. Attachment: None.
