Thank you FIFA for helping us get the word out that we are still # 1!

"For a longtime popular viewing party in South Florida, head to Fritz & Franz Bierhaus (60 Merrick Way, Coral Gables), which has been the city’s favorite soccer bar for nearly 30 years. It features movie-theater-sized screens, long communal tables, massive steins of imported drafts and a room that fills elbow-to-elbow with South American expats, European transplants and Miami soccer-loving regulars" See less

" Looks like we are deemed a "HIGH IMPACT EVENT"

3. Police Lieutenant hourly rate (as per SOP #90): $80.00
4. Police Major hourly rate (as per SOP #90): $90.00
5. The Chief of Police with the concurrence of the City Manager deem that events within the City will have an impact on operations throughout the city, in part because of any one or collective events during a set period of time, a High Impact Rate will apply to those events with caveats that the City may/will impose on the vendors(s) or requirements on employees to staff said events.

Ok, now we have downsized to 20 days for World Cup Public viewing events on the Plaza, Now the city tells us Police fee has almost doubled. $ 100 per hour per Officer. 4 hours minimum even if it is only one game. and three officers and one Sergeant ( $120) per game! And on top of it also for the first time in 24 years, we need to have Fire rescue present $ 680 per game! so, with my math skills and I am old school....for 20 Days it would run us into $ 70,000! I think the city is not giving up until I am gone.... They tried 2 years ago and now they are trying this way! They killed the Bluesfest, Live Music on the Plaza and Oktoberfest! Now they are working on the Public viewing events for World Cup , Euro and Copa Events! Not asking for help, not asking for petition to sign, just Your thoughts!
