  1. What is a “Civic Center?” *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”

  2. Rationale: 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)

  3. North East & Central Florida Area Parks That Currently Hold Civic Center Designations:

  4. JacksonvilleMetropolitan Park

  5. City of LargoCentral Park

  6. Miramar Civic Center and Aquatic Complex

  7. LakelandSports Complex

  8. State License Process as outlined by the State of Florida Statutes Therefore $250 + (3 events X $25) = $325 annually vs. $1,550 for an unlimited retail license • 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)

  9. Economics Revenues reinvested into the events allow us to reduce prices for guests i.e.: 2013 Rock N’ Rib $3 admission 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

  10. 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

  11. Events Such As These… Our Goal: Make our local events “better”, not bigger.” • Showcase” Palm Coast to Visitors • Provide fun and entertainment to our residents • Prosperity 2021
