SECTION 1. That the Code of Ordinances as amended, be amended by
amending Chapter 36, Article III, Bayfront Plaza, Sections 36-82, 36-84, 36-85,
36-86, 36-87, and 36-89, to hereinafter read as follows:
Sec. 36-82. Lease Agreements.
(a) The convention center manager is empowered to sign
lease agreements for the rental of the facilities of the
Bayfront Plaza Convention Center. Verbal agreements to
rent are not recognized under any circumstances, and this
article and the rental contract, upon acceptance,
constitute the entire rental agreement and may not be
altered unless done so in writing, signed by authorized
representatives of both parties.
(b) Lessees of the theatre, banquet hall or the entire main
exhibit hall shall provide a comprehensive general liability
insurance policy in which both the city and the lessee are
named as insured, with an acceptable certificate of
insurance filed with the city. This requirement shall not
apply to events sponsored by governmental agencies, to class
III rentals of a portion of the exhibit hall, or to class
III rentals of the banquet hall.
(c) The convention center manager is responsible for
booking events that will be held in the Bayfront Plaza
Convention Center. Only conventions may be scheduled
further than eighteen (18) months in advance. A
18167 8 1984
convention, in order to qualify for scheduling further
than eighteen (18) months in advance, is defined as a
meeting including a large number of out-of-town people
who will use a significant number of hotel rooms, as
determined by the convention center manager.
Sec. 36-84. Rental of auditorium support facilities
(rehearsal hall and lounge).
Since a separate rental of the support facilities may
preclude the subsequent rental of the theatre, the
convention center manager may delay the confirmation of
such a rental until thirty (30) days prior to the date of
the event. If the support facilities are used in
conjunction with the theatre (same day), the lessee will
be entitled to a discount of twenty-five (25%) percent
off the basic charge for the support facility (not
including equipment rental or labor charges). This offer
may also be extended to convention center meeting rooms
if there is not sufficient room in the auditorium to
properly handle the event. The fees listed below for the
rental of the rehearsal hall and lounge do not include
the use of city-owned equipment, except that a lessee of
the theatre, rehearsal hall and lounge shall be entitled to
the free use of up to ten (10) tables and one hundred (100)
