ISSUE
Boxing Boosters use of Beech Recreation Center
BACKGROUND/DISCUSSION
The Ocoee Boxing Boosters Club is requesting to utilize the Beech Recreation Center on
Saturday, October 26, 2002 from 4:00 P.M.to 11:00 P.M. to host professional wrestling, and on
Saturday, November 16, 2002 from 12:00 noon to 11:00 P.M. to host a Boxing Tournament.
The Boosters will receive 20% commission or all the sales along with 100% concession sales for
the wrestling event, and 100% of all the ticket sales and concession sales for the Boxing
Tournament. The proceeds received by the Ocoee Boxing Boosters will assist them in helping to
cover expenses to Boxing Tournament they travel to on the weekends.
Recreation Staff has reviewed the activities scheduled for these dates, and these events would not
interfere with any scheduled activities.
If these events are approved by the City Commission, Staff will ensure that the events are
covered with general liability insurance with the City listed as an additional insured.
The proceeds that will be received by the Boosters for these events will greatly enhance their
ability to help finance the traveling to tournaments on the weekends for the boxers who want to
participate in these events.
