*These amounts include revenue from Parkmobile Transactions
Meter Revenue: Meter revenue is composed of both single space and multi space meters on the
streets and in lots as well as multi space meters located inside the City Hall and 42"d 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. Also, the proliferations of
Transportation Network Entities (TNE) such as Uber and Lyft have impacted parking demand citywide.
Unfortunately, TNE impact is difficult, if not impossible to quantify due to it being proprietary data.
When compared to prior year, the decrease in meter revenue was due to the impact of Hurricane
Dorian during Labor Day weekend.
Historical On-Street Meter Curbside Utilization: The meter hourly rate increase in Oct 2015
has adjusted parking habits by directing parking into off-street lot and garages. On-street curbside
parking utilization has stabilized with every year following the new hourly rate implementation.
Historical Off-Street Meter Lot Utilization: The adjustments in parking habits, to off-street
surface lots, have been a positive counter action from the reduction of on-street utilization. The
temporary loss of parking due to the renovations at P2 (lot adjacent to Nikki Beach) and the
permanent closure of the P52 Lot for the construction of the Collins Park Garage have contributed to
the reduction in utilization, year-to-date.
Historical Attended Off-Street Lot Utilization: The increase of on-street meter hourly rates
along with a strong enforcement presence contributed to the higher monthly utilization at the attended
parking lots. The closure of the P-Lot in Dec of 2015 and the conversion of the P71 to 24-hour
enforcement contributed to the reduction in attended lot utilization year-to-date. South Pointe Park is

*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. When compared to prior year, the decrease in enforcement
revenue was due to the impact of Hurricane Dorian during Labor Day weekend.
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 September is $50,120.07 resulting in total net income
of $5,741 .91 . 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.
Historical Attended/Metered Garage Utilization: Transportation Network Entities (TNE), such
as Uber and Lyft, have impacted parking demand citywide resulting in the decrease in the monthly
attended garage utilization. However due to the increase of the on-street meter hourly rate in October
of 2015 parking; habits have adjusted to direct parking to off-street parking facilities and attended
garage. Additionally, municipal garages at City Hall and 42nd Street provide metered parking within
the facility. The integration of Parkmobile within municipal garages began during FY17 which has
contributed to the increase in parking utilization year-to-date.

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 hangtags 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.

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. The increase
in revenue was due to contractual terms with the annual event activation and the brief reopening of
the lot prior to its conversion to a public park.
