Introduction and Statement of Purpose
This unsolicited proposal is in response to the City of Miami Beach's need for an
alternative to towing in enforcement of both private and public (City-owned or operated)
parking regulations and specifically to reduce storage needed for vehicles that are
towed.
This proposal addresses the following:
• Existing challenges associated with current vehicle enforcement model
• Booting verses Towing
• City of Miami Beach's vehicle immobilization ordinance
• Proposed improvements to the current Vehicle Immobilization Ordinance
• Suggested development and implementation of an Alternative Debt
Collection Service utilizing vehicle immobilization.
• Customer Service
• Support for parking planning and initiatives.
Background
Within the past 2+ years, Advanced Booting Services has taken note of the current
vehicle enforcement climate within the City of Miami Beach and offers this unsolicited
proposal which will enhance enforcement, increase revenues, and decrease the need
for storage of towed vehicles. With only one method of offering parking enforcement
services within the City, citizens and tourists are not offered any recourse to parking
enforcement related issues. Furthermore, at the current vehicle immobilization fee rate,
a reputable enforcement alternative is not viable.
After careful examination, market research, and conversations with local citizens, ABS
has determined the most effective means to introduce a competent, service-oriented
alternative would be to strengthen the current vehicle immobilization ordinance and
8
introduce a fee that is more in line with the market. This would provide the proper
incentive for licensed, insured and courteous vehicle immobilization (booting) companies
to operate with the City.
As mentioned above, ABS has done a thorough market research study of the current
vehicle immobilization climate and has determined that in order to operate effectively
several regulatory items need to be discussed. This includes minimum operational items
such as insurance, enforcement officer qualifications, and conflict of interest
requirements.
This is not to say that booting is the answer to all of the parking enforcement and
storage challenges currently faced by the City, but to be part of a bigger, more
comprehensive parking enforcement program that benefits all parties involved.
Specific Challenges
Booting vs. Towing
Booting and Towing both have specific advantages, but many of the disadvantages of
towing can be addressed.
Booting's Impact on the City of Miami Beach
Using booting to enforce parking fee scofflaws, for example, greatly reduces the impact
on residents of the City of Miami Beach. Booting allows for a less offensive, less
intrusive method of enforcement, and makes the enforcement transaction more tolerable
for all parties involved. The vehicle remains where the scofflaw parked it, and prevents
the "My car has been stolen" response. The scofflaw immediately knows that they did
not pay for parking and that some other nefarious circumstance has not taken place.
Towing creates an air of ambiguity that is solved by simply immobilizing the scofflaw's
vehicle with a booting device. The vehicle enforcement officer can now explain why the
vehicle was immobilized, and the scofflaw can see preciously why they were booted.
This minimizes consumer protection issues, customer service complaints, and makes
the incident as pleasant as possible. At a minimum, this is an alternative which can
result in significant benefits to the City if immediately implemented on private properties.
9
Towing's Impact on the City of Miami Beach
Conversely to booting, towing creates a chain reaction of events that could otherwise be
avoided with booting enforcement. The scofflaw cannot immediately ascertain what has
happened to the vehicle and their first response is not to determine where their vehicle
has been taken, but to call the police to report the vehicle stolen. This assumption now
involves City resources that would be better utilized elsewhere. Additionally, due to the
removal nature of towing, the scofflaw cannot determine the nature of their infraction.
The "evidence" has been removed from the scene before any other party can
determined if the enforcement is valid. This leaves the resident/scofflaw in a situation
where they cannot be protected from false claims, and are at the mercy of honesty of the
towing provider. This honesty, or dishonesty truly, has been documented and publicized
to a large degree in articles written by the Miami Herald, and picked up by national news
organizations such as the New York Times, and USA Today. 1 Finally, and of significant
importance to the City, towing results in an immediate need to store and park the vehicle
elsewhere, draining a preciously limited resource in a City where parking and storage
are at a premium.
Current Vehicle Immobilization Ordinance Recommendations
ABS's Recommendations
After careful review of the current, in force vehicle immobilization ordinance,
Advanced Booting Solutions has constructed recommendations that it feels are
pertinent to curb the abuses of the current enforcement model and allow greater
consumer protections to the City's residents, guests and tourist.
Minimum Insurance Requirements
ABS recommends all companies permitted to enforce parking within the City of
Miami Beach hold a required level of liability insurance. Advanced Booting
Solutions ensures that all employees are covered by the following coverage:

84628812.html

WORKERS COMPENSATION
GENERAL LIABILITY
PERSONAL & ADVERTISING

AUTOMOBILE LIABILITY
Minimum Experience Requirements
$500,000 or State specific requirements
$1,000,000
$1,000,000
$2,000,000
$100,000
$2,000,000
ABS recommends that the City of Miami Beach require all applicants for a
Booting Enforcement permit or business license to be able to demonstrate a
minimum of 3-5 years experience within the Parking Enforcement field. This will
prevent the inclusion of "fly-by-night" enforcement companies that will not provide
the level of customer service required by City of Miami Beach residents, guests
and tourists.
Conflict of Interest Clause
ABS recommends inclusion of a clause preventing the abuse of consumer
protection interests by requiring Booting Enforcement companies to abstain from
becoming involved in Towing Enforcement activities. Conversely, Towing
Enforcement Companies should abstain from engaging in Booting Enforcement
activities. This unilateral separation protects consumers from abuse by clearly
separating what can and cannot happen to their vehicles should they park
illegally.
Fee Increase
Finally ABS recommends that the City increase the boot removal fee from $25.00
to $89.00. This increase will allow reputable companies to operate within the
City of Miami Beach by allowing for the increased costs of doing business since
the ordinance's implementation in 1999. In order to prevent the type of behaviors
seen recently in the Towing Enforcement field, Booting Enforcement companies
need to employ better trained staff, dedicated customer complaint
representatives, and hire quality, honest, and through employees. Additionally,
due to the increase in fuel prices, and unit costs of immobilization equipment, this
increase in fees would help offset the increases.
11
ABS proposes in accordance with the current language of the ordinance, that
$25.00 of the increase in removal fees will continue to be paid directly to the City
of Miami Beach.
Prominent Examples
Advanced Booting has studied how increases in City-mandated immobilization fees have
allowed other municipalities to better serve their citizens, tourists, and business owners
alike. In the following examples, the cities increased the mandated fees to a level that
allowed competent private businesses to enforce parking/parking fees. Note: the fee
maximums are congruent with business costs in the respective cities. ABS would
request the City take COL, increased liability and operational costs, and Living Wage
differences when reviewing the proposed $89 maximum.
City of Hapeville, Georgia
Faced with a "Wild West" approach to parking management, the City of Hapeville,
Georgia enacted clear legislation in order to curb misconduct among unlicensed booting
companies. This amended ordinance dictates specific criteria in order to immobilize a
vehicle, certain time-sensitive consumer protections, and a new fee limit. This increase
in fees allows more reputable, insured, and licensed companies to operate within the
City.
This is a clear example of how effective and thought-conscience legislation benefits all
parties involved. (Property owner, consumer, and booting company) Additionally, by
allowing a booting enforcement company to consult in the construction of this legislation,
the City better understood the mechanisms involved with vehicle enforcement.2
City of Memphis, Tennessee
The City of Memphis, faced with budget shortfalls, turned to vehicle immobilization in
order to collect additional parking fees. One major hurdle in starting a City-wide parking
fee enforcement program was with the prior immobilization fee of $25. By raising the fee
2 http:/ jwww.ajc.comjnewsjatlantajhapeville-council-adopts-booting-935098.html
12
to $75 dollars, 3rd-party private parking enforcement companies could provide the level
of service needed to accomplish this task. 3
Synopsis
These examples highlight how simple changes in the regulatory environment of parking
enforcement can allow a previously challenging situation to mature into a viable
business opportunity for outside vendors. These companies bring stability, and
accountability as well as a more pleasant experience to the end-user.
The City of Hapeville curbed the rampant outlaw mentality associated with parking
enforcement by taking an in-depth look at the situation and the City of Memphis found a
self-sustaining revenue center by adjusting the fees paid by the scofflaws. These small
adjustments to current ordinances could be emulated by the City of Miami Beach to
present a more unified and clear parking enforcement plan .. Opening the market to
additional companies will help to self-regulate the industry, as it did in Hapeville.
No one is ever happy about any parking enforcement incident, but by allowing more
freedom of choice by private property owners, ABS feels that booting can reduce the
number of complaints registered with different consumer agencies.

14
Corporate Structure
ASS's corporate structure is laid out in a bottom-up method, allowing "in the field"
employees unprecedented access to company decision makers. This allows
employees at the operational level faculties to report directly to, not only their
supervisors, but also all levels of corporate governance. Our senior level executives,
from CEO through CFO, combine for over 20 years of vehicle immobilization
experience. ASS's operational philosophy is to hire exceptional people from within.
The immobilization business is highly specialized, and requires a great deal of
creative intelligence. Each of our company officers, at one time or another, were
operational employees doing the tasks of the employees they currently oversee.
Office Location
Our corporate office is located at:
Advanced Booting Services, Inc.
8725 Roswell Road, Suite 179
Atlanta, GA 30350
Corporate Point of Contact
Chief Executive Officer Mike Jacob would be the corporate point of contact for
the City of Miami Beach. He would serve at the contact relating to overall
operational issues and questions. He may be reached at 770.650.0659, and is
located in the corporate office.
Operational Point of Contact
For all questions and issues relating to operations of the parking enforcement,
the City of Miami Beach's contact would be the on-site manager who would be
located in Miami. He or she would report directly to our Chief Operations Officer,
Jeff Phillips. This reporting relationship would allow direct pass-through of
operational issues directly to the CEO.
15
Alternative Debt Collection Services from ABS
License Plate Recognition (LPR) and Debt Collection
Advanced Booting Services have developed a debt collection model that utilizes vehicle
immobilization and can be utilized in order to collect delinquent balances owed to the
City of Miami Beach for City services. These fees can include property taxes, vehicle
registration fees, unpaid parking tickets, unpaid utility (water, electric, gas etc.) balances
as well as any other fee the City may assess to its residents. Advances in License Plate
Recognition software that allows a drastic reduction in necessary labor and overhead
costs make this collection method a viable model. Vehicles parked on public streets,
right-of-ways or in municipal parking facilities could be subject to immobilization should
the registered owner of the vehicle have an outstanding balance with the City for its
many services.
Immobilization
ABS will utilize License Plate Recognition to identify vehicle owners with
outstanding debts owed to the City. This system will include an enforcement
vehicle specifically designed to identify said scofflaws, immobilize their vehicles,
and collect the outstanding balance. Once a vehicle is identified, an ABS
enforcement officer will immobilize the vehicle by use of a "Denver Boot" product.
In order for the immobilized vehicle to be released, the debtor will need to pay the
outstanding balance, a vehicle immobilization fee outlined in Section 3.2 of this
document, and a Balance Processing Fee. An invoice will be produced by the
enforcement officer in order for the debtor to see the breakdown of the balance
owed.
Towing
Once immobilized, the debtor has 48 hours to have the vehicle released and the
outstanding balance paid. After this period has expired, ABS will contact a City of
Miami Beach-approved Towing Company to tow the vehicle to their impound
storage lot. From here, the debtor will need to visit the impound storage lot to
retrieve the vehicle. An ABS representative at the vehicle storage lot will collect all
fees associated with the towing, immobilizing and outstanding balance.
16
Lien and Sale of the Vehicle
After a period of 30 days, the City-approved towing company will send a certified
letter to the debtor informing them of their outstanding balance, and associated
fees, and that if the balance is not paid within the period specified by law, the
vehicle will be sold at auction. Once the vehicle is sold, the towing company will
received a negotiated percentage of the sale, ABS will receive a 10% fee from the
sale, and the remaining balance will be sent to the City of Miami Beach as
payment of the outstanding balance. If the monies received by the City do not
cover the outstanding balance, the City of Miami Beach may continue to subjugate
against the debtor to the maximum allowable amount allowed by law. ABS may be
involved with the collection of the remaining balance should there be another
vehicle associated with the debtor.
Technical Implementation
Software Components
AutoVu IP License Plate Recognition Platform
ABS will install AutoVu's LPR software platform within our mobile enforcement
vehicles in order to automate the discovery of scofflaws' vehicles. This software,
when combined with the necessary hardware, creates a comprehensive debt
recovery platform. The software platform is designed to take the ASCII text data
provided by the City of Miami Beach and push it to our enforcement vehicles to
identify scofflaws' vehicles for immobilization.
T2 Flex Auditing Platform
ABS will install T2Fiex Management software to track revenue collections, produce
reports, and to integrate our stringent revenue controls into an automated system.
T2Fiex was designed specifically for the parking industry and has close integration
with the AutoVu LPR platform.

Proposed Data Path
The AutoVu Sharp is the IP-based license plate recognition camera. This rugged
LPR device offers advanced digital video processing and superior plate reading

This means all the processing and analytics are done inside the unit itself, making
the solution compact and easy to install.
Mobile Platform Computer
ABS will install a Toshiba Tough Book designed to operate in any weather condition
that will be presented. This platform will run the AutoVu LPR software and
integrate with the T2 Flex Auditing Software remotely.
In-House Server
ABS will install a commercially available server designed and optimized to connect
directly with the City of Miami Beach's FTPS server to download scofflaw data and
push it securely to the AutoVu Mobile Platform.
18
financial Proposal
ABS is committed to making revenue collection a self-sustaining entity.
Reporting
The ABS Manager assigned to the City will be responsible for producing and auditing
all financial reports for the Corporate Management at ABS. These reports will include
detailed collection statements, deposit and reconciliation reports and budgetary
reports.
These reports will be made available to the designated department of the City of
Miami Beach upon the 15th of each month. This will allow the City ample time to
uncover any discrepancies held within and to make them known to ABS so that they
may be corrected before payment of collected fees is completed on the 30th of each
month
All reports will be kept on file in ASS's Corporate Office for review by any authorized
agent of the City of Miami Beach, and will be used to produce quarterly "state-of-
health" reports for quarterly reviews. These reports are made available through our
secure website, to be view by the City management from any location, as well as
onsite at any time.
Scofflaw Pricing Schedule
ABS proposes a schedule of rates as follows:
Immobilization $89 per day4
Balance Processing Fee $2.50 per transaction
These rates will be added to the outstanding balance provided to ABS through the
City's FTPS downloads. These fees are used to help ABS recover the costs
associated with collecting the outstanding
4 Congruent with current recommendation to increase City-wide immobilization fee
19
Advanced Booting Services' Management Fee
ABS proposes a management fee equal to 10% of outstanding balances collected.
This fee will be used to defer costs associated with the administration of the
operation.
Conclusion
Best practices in several U.S Cities show that booting can coexist with towing and
provide a mutual benefit to the City of Miami Beach. Booting companies seeking to do
business in the City of Miami Beach should be properly regulated in terms of licensing,
insurance requirements and conflict of interest. Currently, the City of Miami-Beach's
booting ordinance is so restrictive to the booting industry in that the maximum allowable
fee for booting a vehicle (i.e. $25 per boot) is cost prohibitive for companies seeking to
do business in the City. Additionally, the existing fee structure is disproportionate to
other comparable Cities and has stayed stagnant for years in light of inflation and other
standard cost of living adjustments applicable to comparable fee schedules for other City
services.
We propose that booting services can be a logical compliment to towing services in the
City of Miami Beach and that companies should be allowed to contract with private
property owners to provide non-municipal booting services under a more favorable
business friendly economic structure. But, at the same time and in order to assure
certain standards for quality of service, we feel that the current ordinance requires an
increased level of regulation for qualifying business' to perform booting services.
Particularly, we feel proper business licensing measures should include setting specific
insurance policy guidelines and avoiding conflicts of interests between booting and
towing companies.
Therefore we would respectfully ask that (a) the City review the limitations of its existing
booting ordinance as defined herein and consider setting more specific guidelines and
standards for booting companies to operate within the City and (b) the City review and
20
consider setting a booting rate that is more in line with the market and that does not so
severally hinder the ability for a reputable booting company to conduct business within
the City. Finally (as a potential secondary measure) we would propose that the City of
Miami Beach consider a pilot initiative for an alternative debt collection program involving
a combination of booting and towing services with towing being used on a selective
basis. We propose that the implementation of the above measures will add more
revenue to the City, create a more customer friendly enforcement environment, and
further aid the ongoing dilemma involving storage of City towed vehicles.
