[H/T EDM Tunes] In a meeting on Thursday, the Miami City Commission unanimously voted to deny Ultra Music Festival‘s application for a new contract to continue staging their lavish annual event at Miami’s Bayfront Park next spring. Eugene Ramirez, Director of Communications for the City of Miami, tweeted the committee’s decision yesterday afternoon following the hearing:The @CityofMiami Commission has unanimously voted against the contract that would have kept Ultra Music Festival at Bayfront Park.— Eugene Ramirez (@EugeneRamirez) September 27, 2018According to EDM Life, the City Commission declined the festival’s proposed 5-year renewal even though it promised to bring in $2 million per year, more than twice the rent that Ultra had paid in the past. The city also denied a one-year deal proposal. The Miami City Commission’s opposition to Ultra Music Festival’s return to Bayfront Park likely stems from widespread complaints by local residents about the noise, traffic, and general chaos the festival imports from all corners of the Earth each year.With their current contract having expired after this year’s 20th-anniversary edition of Ultra Music Festival and their new deal shot down by the city, Ultra is now a festival without a home going into its 21st year. However, as the organizers of the long-running EDM destination event explained in a tweet, they are still determined to make Ultra 2019 happen, and there is enough time for them to hammer out new terms before March. As the note reads,We are naturally disappointed with the outcome of today’s Miami City Commission meeting. We are still working with officials and the local residents on establishing a resolution that works for everyone.There has been some confusion about the ramifications of today’s vote. The vote today represents only a denial of certain terms of the current proposed 5-year contract, rather than the continued production of the overall festival itself.The outcome of today’s meeting with the Miami City Commission does not mark the end of Ultra in Miami and we look forward to staging the 21st edition of Ultra Music Festival as planned, March 29th–31st, 2019.We appreciate your patience and thank you for your support. To quote a tweet by the festival from last week, “Can you imagine what surprises we have in store for Ultra?” Even if you could imagine it last week, today, the answer to that question is more unclear than ever. We’ll keep you updated as the pieces start to land.

View Comments Here’s a quick roundup of stories you may have missed today. Aaron Tveit’s Lost His ‘Way’We reported with much excitement last year that it was Aaron Tveit’s way or the highway, with the Broadway and Graceland hottie having a street renamed after him in his hometown of Middletown, New York. However, there has now been a shocking occurrence. According to the Times Herald-Record, James Harris, 22, of Warwick, has been charged with the misdemeanors of fourth-degree criminal mischief and petty larceny, after police said he tore down the “Aaron Tveit Way” sign and removed it. Maybe Harris was a U2 fan, because we can’t see well-behaved Tveitortots committing such an offense.

FarSounder has supplied Forward-Looking Sonar (FLS) for the Royal Netherlands Navy’s (RNLN) hydrographic survey vessels, the HNLMS Snellius (A802) and HNLMS Luymes (A803). The company’s 3D sonar systems will provide real-time data on what lies ahead under the water as the ships navigate the seas, giving both crews an elevated sense of safety and security as part of their mid-life upkeep (MLU).These ships’ missions will be both military and public safety operations. However, the primary task of these vessels is to perform hydrographic survey duties in both the North Sea and the Netherlands Antilles.These duties include rapid environmental assessments, in addition to bathymetry and route surveys. Ultimately, the vessels will collect data for the Hydrographic Service of the sea.One of the most useful applications of the FarSounder FLS for these vessels is its Local History Mapping (LHM). This capability allows for real-time mapping of the seafloor. This map updates every two seconds and will have the ability to be saved for future use.The two vessels being fitted with FarSounder FLS are contracted by Radio Holland Netherlands, one of FarSounder’s dealers.
