LETTER TO COMMISSION

FROM: Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager g
DATE: May 15, 2017
SUBJECT: PARKING STATUS REPORT FEBRUARY 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, there was a decrease due continued commercial construction projects on Lincoln Road Mall and
Ocean Drive. 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.

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. There was a decrease at the 17th Street Garage, Pennsylvania
Ave Garage, and City Hall Garage due to the full closure of the Miami Beach Convention Center
(MBCC) in 2017 versus the partial closure in 2016 when several medium to large events took place,
including Graphics of the Americas.
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 February 2017 is $54,673.69 resulting in total net profit of
$20,232.41. 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.
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
Citibike, advertising revenue, interest, etc. The increase is due to the expiration of profit sharing
revenue exemptions that will contribute to larger profit sharing revenue with Deco Bike moving
forward
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
payment application service.
