Police and fire large-event revenue low in Q3; year-to-date totals near $1.93 million
Summary
City staff reported third-quarter (ending March 31, 2025) large-event revenue for police and fire and said revenues are concentrated in professional-sports events; staff flagged the upcoming fourth quarter (Pistons playoff games) as likely to increase amounts.
Nevis Nazarco, agency chief financial officer for the Detroit Police Department, presented the City’s large-event revenue report for police and fire for the third quarter of fiscal year 2025 (quarter ending March 31).
Reported figures: Nazarco said that for the quarter police and fire large-event revenue totaled roughly $504,000, with the Detroit Police Department’s share reported as $493,851 and the Detroit Fire Department’s share as $10,761. Year-to-date (nine months) large-event revenue for public safety was reported as about $1,927,000.
Context and follow-up: Nazarco and committee members noted that most revenue comes from Pistons and Red Wings games and some January playoff events. Committee members asked for a game-by-game breakdown (regular season vs. playoff) and to compare revenue with municipal parking and other related sources; Nazarco said the department can provide a per-game breakdown for future reports. The committee also noted an apparent discrepancy in one event (Bridal Wave show), which had no reported DPD revenue but did have reported DFD revenue; staff said they would follow up.
Action: The committee received and placed the large-event report on file (line item 6.6) and asked staff to provide additional breakdowns in future reports.
