March 6, 2024 SUBJECT: Retirement of Parking Department Director The purpose of this Letter to Commission (L TC) is to inform you that Monica Beltran, our esteemed Parking Department Director, has submitted her retirement letter and will be stepping down from her role effective April 26, 2024. Monica has dedicated her career to public service, with 35 years of service to Miami-Dade County and nine years with the City of Miami Beach. Over 30 years of her professional experience has been focused on the parking industry, encompassing roles in curb management, ground transportation, field operations, and senior management including at Miami International Airport. During Monica's tenure with the City, the Parking Department has experienced significant growth and accomplishments. Under her tenacious leadership, the Department not only achieved profitability but also surpassed pre-pandemic revenue levels by approximately 10% over Fiscal Year 2019, generating $53 million in revenue. Additionally, operational efficiencies were realized through the reduction of parking pay stations and the transition to cashless payments. Monica also spearheaded initiatives such as the execution of the Florida Power & Light agreement for fast electric vehicle charging stations and the successful extension of the resident and tourist friendly CitiBike program. Furthermore, the Department achieved milestones such as the development of new towing permits with renewable terms, the introduction of the PaybyPhone application for parking payments, and the implementation of the virtual House of Worship Parking Permit. Ever the problem solver, Monica's leadership also led to the expansion of the residential permit program to include permit requirements for residents with disabled placards, among other notable accomplishments. We are immensely grateful for Monica's unwavering commitment to serving our city's residents, businesses and visitors, and we extend our heartfelt wishes for success and fulfillment in her future endeavors.
