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 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.

� M-D Parking Violations $252,975.12 $246,203.61 $�6,771 .51) �

� Total Enforcement � $319,701.02 $295,643.61 $(24,057.41) �
**These amounts include revenue for the month that had not yet posted.
Enforcement: The City receives a share of ticket citations for parking violations that occur in Miami
Beach and are collected by Miami-Dade County. When compared to the prior year, the reduction in
enforcement revenue is partially attributed to the reduction in Freight Loading Zone (FLZ) enforcement
hours as well as community adherence to the FLZ regulations. Also, there were three (3) more inches of
rainfall in 2017 than in 201 b.

*46% of total revenue which represenfs the City's pro-rafa 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. The overall increase in garage revenue was due to an increase
in transient parking activity at the 16'h street Anchor garage and a timing difference in the recording
valet revenue from the Loews hotel. Both revenue gains at the 16'h street garage helped balance a
reduction in transient and monthly permit revenue at the 17'h street and 7'h street garages.
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 July 2017 is $46,059.52 resulting in total net loss of
$(1 1,959.44�. 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 "aRer 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. When compared to
the prior year, the decrease in permit sales revenue was attributed to a reduction in metered space
rentals throughout the month.
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 was due to the timing differences in the
posting of Citibike profit share revenue in 201 b.
Parkmobile: The City Commission awarded Parkmobile to provide mobile payment application
service. The mobile payment application service 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.
