January 17, 2017 Agenda Item No.: J
An Ordinance related to the fee schedule; amending Ordinance 12-16-
2245 to reduce professional photos and filming fees for special events
from the fee schedule.
At the September 16, 2014 City Commission meeting, the Mayor and
Commission adopted a new fee schedule allowing funding which will
cover the cost of services provided. Still photo and filming fees in the
amount of $1,500 and $8,000 per day, respectively, were tentatively
recommended by City staff and subsequently approved by the
Commission.
After thorough review and discussion with various municipalities and
industry professionals, City staff recommends revising professional still
photos and filming fees as follows:
Professional Photos & Filming (8:30 a.m. -5:30 p.m.)
Still photo fee: $100jday
Filming fee (1-10 person crew): $200jday
Filming fee (11-20 person crew): $300jday
Filming fee (21+ person crew): $500jday
City staff believes the proposed fee structure is competitive compared to
other local municipalities in Miami-Dade County and reasonable for
industry professionals. Furthermore, staff is confident that professional
still photo and filming activity will rise due to the reduction of fees.
