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. On September 7, 2017, an
evacuation order was issued in preparation for Hurricane Irma. The city flood relief program was
activated to assist in clearing residential streets and metered spaces. Residents and visitors were able
to return on September 13'h with evening curfews in place. All curfews were lifted on September 16'h.
The meter revenue decrease is primarily attributed to the impact of Hurricane Irma.

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. On September 7th and evacuation order was issued in
preparation for Hurricane Irma. The city flood relief program was activated to assist in clearing
residential streets and metered spaces. Residents and visitors were able to return on September 13'h
with evening curfews in place. All curfews were lifted on September 16th. Historically, municipal
parking garages are made available to residents free of charge for vehicle storage to weather tropical
storms/hurricanes. Municipal garages were used for this purpose commencing on September 6th
through September 19th. Municipal parking garage revenue decreases are primarily attributed to the
impact of this accommodation during Hurricane Irma.
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 August 2017 is $46,088.42 resulting in total net loss of
$(12,289.84). 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. On September 7, 2017, an evacuation order was issue in

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. Lastly, On September
7th and evacuation order was issue in preparation for Hurricane Irma. The city flood relief program
was activated to assist in clearing residential street and metered spaces. Residents and visitors were
able to return on September 13, 2017, with evening curfews in place. All curfews were lifted on
September 16, 2017. Online residential visitor permit sales resumed on September 17, 2017. Rental
credits were issued for cancelled valet parking/space rental permits.
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
Deco Bike, advertising revenue, interest, etc.
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. On September 7th and evacuation order was issue in preparation for
Hurricane Irma. The city flood relief program was activated to assist in clearing residential street and
metered spaces. Residents and visitors were able to return on September 13th with evening curfews in
