COMMISSION ITEM SUMMARY
Condensed Title:
A Resolution of the Mayor and City Commission amending Resolution No. 2010-27513, to correct a
scrivener's error by retroactively approving the $20 event parking flat rate for non-residents at certain
attended Municipal Surface Lots, for FY2011/2012 and future years, during high impact events,
including Spring Break and Memorial Day Weekend; with said rate having been deemed to have

ears, until otherwise amended.
Key Intended Outcome Supported:
Improve Parking Availability; Maintain Financial Health and Overall Bond Rating.
Supporting Data(Surveys, Environmental Scan,etc.):
77.2% of respondents rate the availability of parking across the City as too little. Availability of
parking was one of the changes residents identified to Make Miami Beach better to live, work or play.
Issue:
Whether to approve the Parking Flat Rate.
Item Summa /Recommendation:
Major events such as Spring Break and Memorial Day Weekend have a large impact on the City by
attracting large crowds. These large crowds create nuisances such as noise, litter, illegal parking, etc.
which adversely impact our residents' quality of life. By extension, municipal parking facilities are also
impacted. There are a number of initiatives and operational enhancements underway by Police,
Sanitation; Code Enforcement; and the Parking Department to address the parking, litter, and noise
violations. A key initiative that has been successful in the past was the establishment of the
referenced flat parking rates for non-residents and residents. The City Code allows the City Manager
or his designee the authority to establish a flat parking rate during the City's annual budget process.
As per Chapter 106, entitled "Traffic and Vehicles," Article II, entitled "Metered Parking," Division 1,
entitled "Generally," Section 106-55, entitled "Parking Rates, Fees, And Penalties;" Section (1) entitled
"Exceptions": (1) Flat Parking Rate. A flat rate parking rate for non-residents and for residents of the
city (photo identification required) may be established during the city's annual budget process, as
recommended by the city manager and approved by the city commission, at certain attended
municipal garages and surface lots which have been identified by the city manager to be in the best
interest of the community's health, safety, and welfare. On September 20, 2010, the Mayor and City
Commission approved Resolution No. 2010-27513, increasing the event flat rate for non-residents
(from $18)as follows: $20 from October 1, 2010, through February 28, 2011; $25 from March 1, 2011,
through May 31, 2011; $20 from June 1, 2011, through September 30, 2011; the resident flat rate of
$6.00 for event parking remained the same. This rate structure was successful last year as it
addressed peak demand periods, including Spring Break and Memorial Day Weekend which require
increased resources to maintain appropriate levels of service. However, the intent of Resolution No.
2010-27513 was to have the periods specified above roll over from year to year, or until such time as
a further amendment to the rates is approved. In other words, the term "through September 30, 2011"
should have been omitted from the Resolution, in order for the $20 non-resident event rate, effective

ANALYSIS
Major events such as Spring Break and Memorial Day Weekend have a large impact on
the City by attracting large crowds. These large crowds create nuisances such as noise,
litter, illegal parking, etc. which adversely impact our residents' quality of life. By
extension, municipal parking facilities are also impacted.
There are a number of initiatives and operational enhancements underway by Police,
Sanitation; Code Enforcement; and the Parking Department to address the parking,
litter, and noise violations. A key initiative that has been successful in the past was the
establishment of the referenced flat parking rates for non-residents and residents.
The City Code allows the City Manager or his designee the authority to establish a flat
parking rate during the City's annual budget process.
As per Chapter 106, entitled "Traffic and Vehicles," Article II, entitled "Metered Parking,"
Division 1, entitled "Generally," Section 106-55, entitled "Parking Rates, Fees, And
Penalties;" Section (1) entitled "Exceptions":
(1) Flat Parking Rate. A flat rate parking rate for non-residents and for

during the city's annual budget process, as recommended by the city
manager and approved by the city commission, at certain attended
municipal garages and surface lots which have been identified by the city
manager to be in the best interest of the community's health, safety, and
welfare.
On September 20, 2010, the Mayor and City Commission approved Resolution No.
2010-27513, increasing the event flat rate for non-residents (from $18)as follows:
Non- Resident Rate:
$20 from October 1, 2010, through February 28, 2011
$25 from March 1, 2011, through May 31, 2011
$20 from June 1, 2011, through September 30, 2011
Miami Beach Resident Rate
$6.00 at all times the facility is attended.
This rate structure was successful last year as it addressed peak demand periods,
including Spring Break and Memorial Day Weekend, which require increased resources
to maintain appropriate levels of service. However, the intent of Resolution No. 2010-
27513 was to have the periods specified above roll over from year to year, or until such
time as a further amendment to the rates is approved. In other words, the term "through
September 30, 2011" should have been omitted from the Resolution, in order for the $20
non-resident event rate, effective as of June 1, 2011, to continue in effect for subsequent
years (or until amended).
CONCLUSION
The Administration is requesting that the Mayor and City Commission amend Resolution
No. 2010-27513, to correct a scrivener's error by retroactively approving the $20 event
parking flat rate for non-residents at certain attended municipal surface lots, for FY
2011/2012 and future years, during high impact events, including Spring Break and
Memorial Day Weekend; with said rate having been deemed to have commenced and
became effective as of October 1, 2011, and to continue in effect in subsequent years,
until otherwise amended.
