COMMISSION ITEM SUMMARY
~
Condensed Title:
A Resolution authorizing the transfer of $1 million from the FY 2004-05 Parking Fund Budget to the FY
2004-05 Local Shuttle (previously known as the Electrowave Shuttle) Operating Budget; subject to
determination by the Administration that the Parking Fund has met all debt covenants for FY 2003-04,
Issue:
Shall the City Commission transfer FY 2004-05 Parking funds for shuttle operations?
Item Summa {Recommendation:
As in previous years, Parking funds are being proposed to help fund the FY 2004-05 Local Shuttle
Operating Budget, at $1 million, or 48.57% of the total budget. Parking Fund contributions to four previous
budgets were respectively $1,05 million in 2000-01, $1,284 million in 2001-02, $1,24 million in 2002-03,
and $1,1 million in 2003-04. The Parking Fund transfer is part of the total budget of $2,058,935, for FY
2004-05 and is $160,365 (or 11,86%) less than last year's, and it also includes Transit Surtax, FDOT/JPA,
and Concurrency Mitigation/South Beach funds, plus projected revenues from fare collections.
Negotiations between the City and the County have yet to produce a Miami-Dade Transit (MDT) proposal
to assume full responsibility over the local shuttle service, Therefore, it is essential that a budget be
approved for FY 2004-05 shuttle operations in order to maintain the circulator services which are fully
utilized and appreciated by South Beach residents, employees, shoppers, tourists and visitors, Due to the
mutually beneficial connection between the shuttle service and park-and-ride programs, the Administration
supports the Parking Fund as the most appropriate source of local funds for shuttle operations, and
recommends that $1 million from the FY 2004-05 Parking Fund Budget be transferred to the FY 2004-05
Local Shuttle 0 eratin Bud et.

ANALYSIS
For the last four fiscal years, the City Commission has authorized the appropriation of
Parking funds as the City contribution and matching funds to the outside funds allocated to
the annual shuttle operating budget. Such Parking Fund contributions have been as
follows:
FY 2000-01 at $1.05 million
FY 2001-02 at $1.284 million
FY 2002-03 at $1.24 million
FY 2003-04 at $1.1 million
FY 2004-05 is proposed at $1 million
The following local and outside sources have been identified to help fund the proposed FY
2004-05 Shuttle Budget:
FY 2004-05 Parking Fund Budget
County Transit Surtax (PTP) Funds
FOOT JPA funds
Concurrency Mitigation funds/South Beach
Projected fare collection revenues
Proposed FY 2004-05 Operating Budget:
$1,000,000 48,57% of total budget
500,000 Recurring source
40,000 JPA fund balance
438,935 Recurring source
80,000 Recurring source
$2,058,935
The only recurring source of outside funds for shuttle operations is the municipal share of
the County transit surtax (PTP) program. Twenty percent (20%) of the Miami Beach share
ofthese funds, or approximately $500,000 a year, is required to be used for transit projects
- such as the local shuttle service.
Following City Commission direction, the Administration has met with the County
administrative staff (Miami-Dade Transit/MDT), respectively in 2002, 2003, and 2004, with
the following requests regarding the local shuttle service:
1. That MDT assume full responsibility over the local shuttle project;
2. Consider merging MDT's Route W with our Wasllington Route service. Such a merger
would further enhance mobility options by providing a comprehensive transit service to
the entire South Beach community; and
3. That MDT submit a proposal to the City for consideration and action.
In July 2004, the County MDT hired the Centerfor Urban Transportation Research (CUTR)
to examine the issues involved and to make recommendations to MDT by early September
2004. If final negotiations between MDT and the City are successful, the item will be
submitted for consideration by both the City and County Commissions. It is anticipated that
this will not be accomplished in time for the new fiscal year. To avoid service interruption
to the South Beach community, contracting once again with the Miami Beach
Transportation Management Association (MBTMA) for continuation of the existing shuttle
operations remains the best option available to the City, at least for the time being.
The implementation status of additional Commission directions regarding the shuttle
project, and the reasons why the City should continue this successful service to South
Beach will be provided in a following agenda item, which addresses the Proposed FY
2004-05 Shuttle Operating Budget.
The Administration recommends the transfer of $1 million from the FY 2004-05 Parking
Fund Budget to help fund the FY 2004-05 Shuttle Operating Budget, subject to the
determination by the Administration that the Parking Fund has met all debt covenants for
Fiscal Year 2003-04.
