LETTER TO COMMISSION
TO: Mayor Dan Gelber and Members of thCity Comfission
FROM: Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager
DATE: March 21, 2018
SUBJECT: PARKING STATUS REPORT OCTO ER 2017
The Parking Department received revenue from different sources outlined in the categories listed
below. In addition, only selected recurring expenses associated with the parking garages are reported
herein. The following is a condensed presentation of revenue by source and variance:
*These amounts include revenue from Pay by Phone Transactions
Meter Revenue: Meter revenue is composed of both single space and multi space meters on the
street and in lots as well as multi space meters located inside the City Hall and 42nd Street Garages.
Meter revenue variances are driven by many variables which include, but are not limited to, road and
sidewalk construction, closed streets and site of events held in the City. When compared to the prior
year, meter revenues remained relatively flat as the city recovered from tropical weather events in
consecutive years. Parking demanded continues to be impacted by Transportation Network Entities
(TNE) such as Uber and Lyft and unfortunately it is difficult, if not impossible to quantify TNE impact
due to proprietary data limitations,

Enforcement: The City receives a share of ticket citations for parking violations that occur in Miami
Beach and are collected by Miami -Dade County. When compared to the prior year, the reduction in
enforcement revenue is partially attributed to the reduction in Freight Loading Zone (FLZ) enforcement
hours as well as community adherence to the FLZ regulations. Also, continued efforts in recovery from
Hurricane Irma.

*46% of total revenue which represents the City's pro -rata share pursuant to the Development Agreement
Garages: Revenues are composed of transient, monthly, and flat rate special event rates. Garage
revenue variances are driven by many variables which include, but are not limited to, special events,
weather, tourism, and maintenance. Municipal parking garage revenue decreases are primarily
attributed to the impact of further recovery efforts following Hurricane Irma.
5th and Alton Garage: The 5th and Alton Garage is a joint development (parking garage) with
the "Developer" (Edens) containing 1,080 parking spaces. The Developer and City own 54% and
46% of the parking spaces, respectively, and profit/loss is also shared in the same manner. The
City's revenue portion (46%) for the month of October 2017 is $33,495.88 resulting in total net loss
of $(16,318.15). Pursuant to the Development Agreement, the City receives its proportionate share of
profit or must subsidize any loss. The City and Developer continue to jointly pursue initiatives to
promote the use of the garage. These initiatives include but are not limited to "after hours" flat rate
parking; valet parking storage; monthly parking; and strategically placed electronic signage directing
users to the facility. Future considerations include promotional rates for "after hours and park and ride
options to the entertainment districts.

Permit Sales: The sale of residential and visitor's virtual permits was introduced in fiscal year 2015,
allowing residents to purchase residential permits and visitor permits for their guests online. As part of
this program, in 2015, the Administration transitioned from set annual or semi-annual periods for
residential permit renewal by zone to renewal periods according to birth month (similar to vehicle
registration renewals). This spread the purchase permit sales over all months versus a set month.
Additionally, before the transition to the new system, residents pre -purchased visitor hang tags from

our customer service center to be used at a later date. The new virtual permit system allows residents
to purchase a virtual visitor permit real time when needed. This eliminated the need to purchase
multiple (paper) permits and it too spread the purchase of the virtual visitor permits over all months
versus a set month. The virtual visitor permits are enforced using LPR technology. When compared to
the prior year, the decrease in permit sales revenue was attributed cancelled valet rental permits
following Hurricane Irma.
Preferred Lot: This lot is located in the front of the Convention Center, and variances are contingent
on convention center special events. This lot closed at the end of December 2015 to support the
Convention Center renovation project and eventual transition to a public meeting space.
Miscellaneous Revenue: This category consists of other accounts including a revenue share from
Deco Bike, advertising revenue, interest, etc.
Parkmobile: The City Commission awarded Parkmobile to provide mobile payment application
service. Mobile payment application services provides enhanced functionality over the in -vehicle
parking meter. Miami Beach residents will continue to enjoy the resident discounted rate of $1.00 per
hour in the South Beach and Middle East Beach areas; from $4.00 for on -street parking and $2.00
for off-street parking in South Beach, and $3.00 for on -street parking and $2,00 for off-street parking
in East Middle Beach. Moreover, Parkmobile will assess no transaction fees to Miami Beach residents
for pay by phone service. Parkmobile began services on May 12, 2014. The revenue shown above
represents the transaction fees collected by the City for non-resident transactions and remitted to
Parkmobile in the following month. The increase is directly linked to increased usage of the mobile
pay • application service.
