Morales, City Manager DATE: April 11, 2018 SUBJECT A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, ACCEPTING THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE FINANCE AND CITYWIDE PROJECTS COMMITTEE AND AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER PROCEED TO IMPLEMENT THE GARAGE RATE INCREASES APPROVED UNDER ORDINANCE NO. 2015 -3966. RECOMMENDATION Adopt the Resolution. ANALYSIS On March 7, 2018, the Mayor and Commission approved a referral to the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee (FCWPC) to discuss the deployment of the 2015 approved municipal parking garage rate increases to be effective as soon as possible, On September 30, 2015, the City Commission approved Ordinance No. 2015 -3966 amending several parking rates (see attached). The rate increases listed below are already in effect, Parking Meter Rates • South Beach Parking Zone on- street rates increase from $1.75 to $4.00 hourly off - street rates increase from $1.75 to $2,00 hourly • East Middle Beach Zone Restructure rates and hours of enforcement for Collins Avenue /Indian Creek between 23rd Street and 44th Streets to be consistent with rates and hours in South Beach on- street rates increase from $1.00 to $3.00 hourly off- street rates increase from $1.00 to $2.00 hourly It is important to note that the hourly parking meter rate increases did not apply to Miami Beach residents. Miami Beach residents enjoy a reduced hourly parking meter rate of $1.00 /hour citywide, through Parkmobile (payment mobile application). Metered Parking Space Rentals • Valet ramp space rental from $17.00 to $31.50 per day • Construction space rental from $10.00 to $25.00 per day • Special Event space rental from $10.00 to $25.00 per day 486 (no change for film/print space rentals) Residential Parking Virtual Visitor Permits Increased from $1.00 per day to $3.00 per day However, the approved rate increases at municipal garages has not taken effect since we did not yet have a mechanism to provide the Miami Beach resident discounted rate ($1.00 hourly). We have now completed the transition of the gated parking equipment (SkiData) in nine (9) of ten (10) garages which includes payment acceptance via Parkmobile (mobile app). Therefore, we can now extend the resident discounted parking rate currently available at metered parking at municipal garages as well. The remaining facility to transition is the 5th & Alton Garage where parking rates are governed by the developer pursuant to the development agreement and therefore not governed by city ordinance. In summary, the approved increase to the garage rates would increase the first four (4) hours from $1 per hour to $2 per hour, which is the current rate at metered parking lots in the same geographic zone. On March 26, 2018, the FCWPC discussed this item and passed a motion to deploy the 2015 approved garage rate increase as soon as possible. Further, the FCWPC directed staff to evaluate other potential parking rates increases as part of the FY 2018/19 budget development process. CONCLUSION The Administration recommends that the Mayor and Commission accept the recommendation of the FCWPC to deploy the 2015 approved garage rates increase, including maintaining current rates for residents, to be effective as soon as possible. FINANCIAL INFORMATION The deployment of the 2015 approved garage rate increase is projected to generate $2.6M, annually.

COMMISSION COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATIONS On July 1, 2015, the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee (FCWPC) endorsed the proposed parking rate amendments to the City Code, resulting in the proposed parking rate increases below. ANALYSIS The Mayor and Commission have identified traffic congestion throughout the City as a priority issue. At their direction, the Administration is pursuing a multi- pronged approach to address traffic congestion. The following is a listing of projects underway, each at varying levels of progress and estimated funding needs for each. Parking rate increases are proposed in various categories to: (1) fund the initiatives identified below and (2) modify driver behavior to better manage parking demand through financial incentives. Please note future parking rate increases may be needed to fund other medium to long range initiatives, such as light rail. 507 September 30, 2015 City Commission Memorandum Parking Rate Amendments to the City Code — Second Reading Final Public Hearing Page 4 of 17 TRANSPORTATION INITIATIVES: Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) and Parking Management System The Administration is currently pursuing a real -time traffic management system to monitor traffic flow and throughput as well as monitor parking availability and demand on a real -time basis. The City of Miami Beach is one of the economic engines in the State. The thriving service industry and the Miami Beach Convention Center contributed to a reported 6,142,600 overnight visitors in 2013. In addition, recent figures indicate that although resident population in Miami Beach is 90,588, average daily population comprised of commuters and visitors is 205,915. A highly urbanized barrier island with only four connections to the main land, the City's causeways and arterials frequently operate at failing levels of service. Given the limited capacity of the roadway network, the City Commission has approved the implementation of an ITS and Parking Management System as an additional effort to help manage traffic congestion, parking availability, and improve traffic flow along major arteries. The ITS and Parking Management System Project will consist of the following components: • 18 C.C,T.V. cameras for video monitoring of traffic conditions and incidents. • 32 Travel Time Data Collectors to allow engineers to review traffic conditions and implement changes prior to reaching saturated conditions. • 15 small scale Interactive Digital Message Signs to advise drivers of traffic and parking conditions within Arterial Roadways. • 2 large scale Interactive Digital Message Signs on 2 Causeways to advise drivers of traffic and parking conditions. • Implement parking detection systems at 8 garages, 35 surface parking lots, and 2 corridors to record real -time parking conditions. • 60 Electronic Signs to relay real -time parking availability information • Upgrading Parking Department's Mobile Application to reflect real -time parking availability information. • A Transportation Management Center located within City Limits to integrate the operations of the ITS and Parking Management system and serve as the data and information clearinghouse. • Adaptive Traffic Signal Control (optional component of the project) would be for 93 intersections along the following major corridors: o Alton Road: 5th Street to 43rd Street o 5th Street: Alton Road to Collins Avenue O 41st Street: Alton Road to Collins Avenue o MacArthur Causeway: Star Island to Alton Road o Collins Avenue: 23rd Street to 44th Street o Indian Creek Drive: 23rd Street to 41st Street o Washington Avenue: 5th Street to Dade Boulevard o 63rd Street: Collins Avenue and Indian Creek o 69th Street: Collins Avenue to Abbott Avenue o Indian Creek Drive: 63rd Street to 71st Street o Abbott Avenue /Harding Avenue: City Limits to Indian Creek Drive o Collins Avenue: 63rd Street to City Limits O 71st Street : Indian Creek Drive to Collins Avenue 508 North Beach Loos; South Beach, Loo • Middle .Beach Loos • Collins Link South :Beach Local September 30, 2015 City Commission Memorandum Parking Rate Amendments to the City Code — Second Reading Final Public Hearing Page 5 of 17 Status The City of Miami Beach is working closely with the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) District VI staff and Miami -Dade County staff on this project. Both agencies have participated in coordination meetings and provided valuable input on project planning, design, phasing, and operational aspects of the project. The City will continue to work with FDOT and County staff during each phase to ensure close coordination of the City's ITS project with the State's and County's signal infrastructure system. The ITS and Parking Management System project has a duration of 24 months and is anticipated for completion by the end of 2017. The total cost of the project is estimated at $14,556,590. The City is providing a local match of $4,556,590 which has been budgeted in the current fiscal year. The City's annual operating and maintenance costs for the ITS and Parking Management System have been estimated at approximately $2 million. The City has recently applied for a $10 Million grant under the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) Transportation Improvements Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) VII federal discretionary grant program. We anticipate receiving notification from USDOT as to whether or not the ITS and Parking Management System project is awarded federal funding in the fall of this year. Currently, the Administration is in the process of selecting a Program Manager who will serve as owner's representative and be responsible for developing the specifications for a Design, Build, Operate, and Maintain (DBOM) contract for the ITS and Parking Management System project. Transit/Trolley System The Administration is currently identifying additional funding and resources needed to develop and implement a citywide interconnected trolley system as part of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2015/16 budget process. The proposed citywide system would consist of trolley routes in North, Middle, and South Beach, including the existing North Beach Loop, the proposed Middle Beach Loop, a Collins Link, and a South Beach Loop that would complement the current South Beach Local service. The total funding for this comprehensive trolley system, including the cost of the existing South Beach Local service funded by the City (one -third of the total annual cost of operation and maintenance), is estimated at $11.05 million annually (see table below). Funding is proposed to be augmented by approximately $2.33 million of People's Transportation Plan (PTP) funds from Miami -Dade County currently allocated to capital projects and an increase of the contribution from surplus parking funds from $1.3 million to approximately $3.0 million. The table below lists the estimated annual operating expenditures for each of the trolley loops.

Light Rail/Modern Streetcar The City has been working in partnership with the Miami-Dade Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT), Miami-Dade Transit (MDT), and the City of Miami as part of the ongoing Beach Corridor Transit Connection Study (formerly known as the Baylink Corridor Study). The study commenced in October 2013 and focuses on re-evaluating the Locally Preferred Alternative resulting from the 2004 Baylink Corridor Study which proposed a light rail transit/modern streetcar connection between Miami Beach and Downtown Miami via the MacArthur Causeway. A Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) comprised of staff from various municipal and transportation agencies and a Policy Executive Committee (PEC) comprised of elected officials from Miami-Dade County, City of Miami, and City of Miami Beach have been established to assist the study team in making key milestone decisions through the study process. Both the TAC and the PEC have endorsed the project moving forward and delivered through a Public- Private Partnership (P3). In order to connect Miami Beach and Downtown Miami via light rail transit, the current Beach Corridor Transit Connection study reaffirmed the MacArthur Causeway as the preferred corridor to link the two cities. Due to the inherent environmental and engineering challenges associated with implementing the portion of the route alignment along the MacArthur Causeway, the study consultant expects that the level of environmental documentation and coordination with the federal government that will be necessary as part of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process will be substantial, lengthy, and require an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) to be conducted, The NEPA phase alone is projected to cost approximately $10 million with each local participating agency contributing a portion of the cost. The City of Miami Beach share is estimated at $417,000. Based on the project schedule presented to the TAC and PEC by the consultant team, it is anticipated that the NEPA documents, design, and construction phases are estimated to take 6 to 9 years. It is our understanding that this NEPA process is a pre-requisite to be eligible for up to 50% federal funds for capital and up to 25% state funds for capital (1,e., 50% federal/ 25% state/ 25% local contribution). However, due to the very competitive nature of the federal discretionary grant process for funding these types of projects, the local (City's) match would need to be higher than 25% of the capital costs, At this time, the preferred route alignment to connect Miami Beach and Downtown Miami has been identified as the Direct Connect alternative and consists of bi-directional service along the MacArthur Causeway, 5th Street, and Washington Avenue. A future phase proposes service along Collins Avenue, 41st Street, and the Julia Tuttle Causeway to connect to Midtown Miami. The South Beach portion of the Direct Connect route alignment represents approximately $149M (28% of the total $532 million capital cost of the total Miami 510 September 30, 2015 City Commission Memorandum Parking Rate Amendments to the City Code — Second Reading Final Public Hearing Page 7 of 17 to Miami Beach project), excluding the cost of a maintenance yard. If this ratio is used as an estimate of operating costs, the portion of operating costs for the Direct Connect alignment on South Beach would be approximately $7 million annually (28% of $22 million annual operating costs payments which would be required for the entire project under a P3 scenario). Thus, assuming the City wishes to proceed on an accelerated basis without federal funds, the Administration estimates that the total annual availability payments for the portion of the Direct Connect alignment in South Beach would be approximately $12 million - $17 million per year, depending on the level of availability of state funds (including capital and operating cost). The cost of a rail yard on Miami Beach could increase these payments to between $17 million and $25 million, contingent upon the level of capital subsidy from the State. -A! rt Term Ex ss Bus Sorvie EBS .7f --44:rglitext In an effort to expedite cross-bay mass transit connectivity, the Administration is studying the feasibility of implementing express bus service connecting Miami Beach and Downtown Miami on a 1 2 year timeframe, Several alternatives are currently being considered. One of the route alignment alternatives includes bi-directional EBS across the MacArthur Causeway, 5th Street, and Washington Avenue (similar to the light rail/modern streetcar alignment described above). The use of the shoulders along the Causeway as well as dedicated lanes along 5th Street and Washington Avenue corridors is being evaluated in order to ensure reliable and efficient express bus service. The capital cost of the short-term express bus service is estimated between $12 million and $20 million, depending on the number of articulated buses required which is predicated on the route alignment selected and frequency of service (ranging from 5-minute headways to 10-minute headways). It is anticipated that the proposed express bus service would cost approximately S5.3 million annually to operate based on a fleet of 19 articulated buses operating at a frequency of 5 - 7.5 minute headways during peak periods for 19 hours per day/7 days per week, City staff is currently having discussions with both FDOT and MDT staff in terms of cost-sharing opportunities for the capital and operating expenditures associated with providing this express bus service. Additionally, it is Important to note that only a portion of the proposed 511 September 30, 2015 City Commission Memorandum Parking Rate Amendments to the City Code — Second Reading Final Public Hearing Page 8 of 17 Express Bus Service (i,e., the route alignment along the MacArthur Causeway to Downtown Miami) would be implemented if a light rail transit/modem streetcar system is implemented in South Beach. Under this service scenario, annual operating costs for the EBS would be approximately $3.5 million, PARKING INITIATIVES: ei ht o n Zone ZoneProsram F Z FLZs are regulated parking zones strategically located for large vehicles (10,000 lbs.+) to conduct deliveries.

Real time parking availability is then communicated to motorists via electronic message signs at strategic locations throughout the city. Valet Parkin Amendments to the Cit Csde Currently, valet parking operations on the City's right-of-way contribute to traffic congestion and other abuses of city property and resident quality of life. Amendments to the City Code to strengthen regulation and enforcement provisions were approved by the Mayor and City Commission on September 2, 2015, Develo of existin unici I metered 'ark in' Iots o ulti.1 I 'arkin tructures The following sites have been identified for potential development either through joint venture partnerships or as standalone City projects: 512 September 30, 2015 City Commission Memorandum Parking Rate Amendments to the City Code — Second Reading Final Public Hearing Page 9 of 17 Washington Avenue Master Plan As an outcome of both the Washington Avenue Master Plan and the Transportation Workshop held on March 18, 2015, staff was charged with finding alternatives to replace on- street parking with off-street parking. As a result, three potential sites have been identified that could replace some or all of the on-street parking between 5th and 17th Streets, Municipal Parking Lot No. P16 (1262 Collins Ave) P16 is located at southwest corner of the intersection of 13th Street and Collins Avenue, opposite of Municipal Parking Garage No. 3 (G3). This lot was recently renovated and was completed on May 13, 2015. A parking garage similar in size to Municipal Parking Garage No. 3 (G3), located at the northeast corner of the intersection of 13th Street and Collins Avenue, could be constructed. Furthermore, based on current construction costs it is estimated that the construction of an eight-story parking garage with approximately 405 spaces will cost approximately $12.7M, which represents approximately $31K per space. .

The parking lot abuts an alleyway(Drexel Court) to the west and holds a total of 37 parking spaces, including two disabled parking spaces. Renovations to this lot were completed in 2013, A five-story parking garage could be constructed in this location. It is estimated that the parking garage could hold up to 140 parking spaces. Estimated construction costs for this parking garage is $5.2M, or approximately $37K per space. 513 September 30, 2015 City Commission Memorandum Parking Rate Amendments to the City Code — Second Reacting Final Public Hearing Page 10 of 17 = .4ottiotiriv, ' Municipal Parking Garage No. 2 (G2) (1100 Washington Ave) This is a multi-level parking garage that serves the police headquarters and its visitors. The parking structure is divided into two areas, the police headquarters' parking and the visitors' parking. These two parking sections are not connected. Based on design and construction parameters, it is possible that one or two additional parking levels could be incorporated to the visitors' parking area that could replicate the uppermost level of this section of the parking garage. The additional levels could potentially represent an increase of 100 parking spaces at an estimated $1.5M or $15K per space. The chart below illustrates a potential net increase of 558 off-street parking spaces along the Washington Avenue corridor and estimated costs. The 779 proposed spaces exceed the existing 577 on and off-street parking spaces in the area. Additionally, other sites in the area have been identified as potential public-private partnership opportunities that may further increase off-street parking inventory.

P63, located on 42nd Street and Royal Palm Avenue North Beach Blue Ribbon Panel Several areas in North Beach have been identified to be operating at high utilization rates, indicating additional parking needs. It has been a longstanding goal to develop a parking garage in North Beach. Several sites have been identified, including standalone city proJects and potential joint venture developments. Additionally, residents have expressed a need for additional parking in their neighborhoods. While there are no commercial or recreational uses displacing parking in these neighborhoods, the sheer volume of vehicles per household is increasing demand. FUNDING NEED SUMMARY The following is a summary of funding needs for all projects identified above, including ITS operational cost, availability amounts for light rail /modern streetcar, garage construction and operational cost for South, Middle, and North Beach. Project Capital $14.5M (Includes current local match of $4.5M) Operating $2M Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) & Parking Management (PMS) Transit/Trolley System $11.8M Light Rail /Modern Streetcar $17M to $25M (contingent upon the level of capital subsidy from the State) Short Term Express Bus Service (EBS) - Connection to Light Rail /Modern Streetcar $12M to $20M $5.3M Washington Avenue Master Plan (779 spaces) $19.3M $779K Middle Beach (800 spaces) $26.4M $800K North Beach (850 spaces) $28M $850K Grand Total: $100.2M - $108.2M $38.5M - $46.5M 515 September 30, 2015 City Commission Memorandum Parking Rate Amendments to the City Code — Second Reading Final Public Hearing Page 12 of 17 PARKING ENTERPRISE FUND The available fund balance in the Parking Fund, as of September 30, 2014, was $26M (net of two months of required reserves). Each year, the City budgets an amount to be used to fund future renewal and replacement projects in the fund. In addition, the Parking Fund is an enterprise fund with revenues pledged to debt service payments. However, surplus funds (revenues in excess of expenditures) from prior years may be used for other City purposes. Currently, these surplus funds are used to fund transportation expenses as well as supplement General Fund Revenues. Detailed projections of parking cash flows are being developed as part of the bonds needed for the Convention Center project; however, the chart below provides a rough projection of funds over the next five years assuming existing rates and moderate growth. Given the estimates below, a positive Parking Fund available balance will not be sustainable under the existing rate structures. There will not be enough available balance to fund the projected FY 2015/16 proposed expenditures.

Subsequent years include principal and interest only. Note: This table has been updated from the first reading to conform to the Parking Fund's FY16 proposed budget and to reflect the latest debt issuance cost estimates. The overall impact of these two changes is approximately $1.5 million per year, primariliy due to increased debt service costs. Funding A recurring revenue stream is necessary to sustain an ually recurring expenses related to the aforementioned transportation initiatives as well ask) enhance the Parking Enterprise Fund bonding capacity to fund the aforementioned garage expansion projects. 516 September 30, 2015 City Commission Memorandum Parking Rate Amendments to the City Code — Second Reading Final Public Hearing Page 13 of 17 The Mayor and Commission has given general direction to the Administration to recommend strategies, including but not limited to increases in parking rates. A parking rate increase will provide the following benefits: 1. Driver Behavior Modification: Studies have shown that up to 30% of traffic congestion is attributed to drivers seeking parking opportunities ( "circling the block" further congestion is caused by pulling in and out of lanes of travel — Source: Federal Highway Administration). Currently, metered on- street and off - street parking rates are $1.75 per hour and enforced 9:00 AM to 3:OOAM (18 hours), seven days a week. Garage rates are for the most part $1.00 per hour, with a maximum daily rate of $20.00 (see appendices for detail of proposed parking rates at each municipal parking garage, except during special events). Current parking rates are too low to effectively alter driver behavior. At the March 18, 2015, Transportation Workshop, it was recommended that on- street parking rates should be sufficiently higher than off- street parking rates to incentivize drivers to park off- street. The goal is to reduce on- street parking demand, This can be accomplished by increasing parking rates. Hence, only those drivers willing to pay a "premium" will use on- street parking and all others will seek other parking or mobility alternatives (garages, transit, bicycle, pedestrian). A key component of achieving this goal is arriving at the EPR (Effective Parking Rate) for on and off- street parking. EPR is defined as the optimum on- street and off - street parking rates and the price buffer between the two rates that "effectively" changes driver behavior. There may be some adjustments to either or both on and off- street rates to achieve EPR. If approved in concept, the Administration recommends some latitude be incorporated in the City Code amendment to allow for such adjustments. Please note parking fine schedules are set by Miami -Dade County and the State of Florida. Overtime parking and other related fine schedules must be at appropriate levels in order to be effective and achieve compliance. Currently, an overtime parking violation is $18.00. Parking user fees in the region, including Miami Beach, are comparable, and in some cases, higher than an overtime parking fine. This increases traffic congestion by perpetuating low risk/high reward user parking behavior. 2. Parking Revenue Bonds - Bonding Capacity: Currently, the City's bond rating is "Aa2" and Parking Bonds have an "A" rating. Increasing parking rates will in turn increase the City's parking revenue stream resulting in increased bonding capacity. Additional bonding capacity is needed in order to fund the list of transportation and parking capital projects identified earlier. 3. Equity in Space Rental Pricing and Residential Visitor Permits — Parking space rentals are available for valet parking, construction, special events, and film & print. Currently, daily space rental rates are $17 for valet (ramp) and $10 for all other categories and Residential Parking Visitor Permits are $1.00 per day. In addition, it is important to note that municipal parking rates are substantially lower than private sector or market rates. This has perpetuated an artificial demand for municipal public parking as drivers "cruise" for on- street parking spaces (30% of traffic congestion attributed to on- street parking); queuing at municipal parking garages seeking a $1.00 hourly rate versus a much higher hourly rates or flat rates at privately owned /operated parking garages; and lengthy waiting lists (12 to 18 months) for monthly parking at municipal garages. A recent parking rate survey of 13 privately owned /operated garages and surface 517 September 30, 2015 City Commission Memorandum Parking Rate Amendments to the City Code — Second Reading Final Public Hearing Page 14 of 17 parking lots in the South Beach entertainment districts revealed an average hourly rate of $5.00; maximum daily rate of $30.00; and monthly rate of $187.00, as compared to $1.00, $20.00, and $70.00, respectively, at municipal garages. Parking Rates — Proposed increases: In response to the funding needs and issues discussed above, a number of rates have been identified for potential increases. Increasing rates for South Beach on- street parking with lower increases for off - street (parking garages and lots). Conceptually, on- street hourly parking meter rates are proposed at $3.00 with metered parking lots and garages at $2.00, hourly. These increases were projected to generate an additional $7.8 million per year. With the amendment adopted on first reading increasing the rate to $4.00 for on- street south of 23rd Street, the additional revenue would increase by $5.7 million to $13.5 million. • Restructure rates and hours of enforcement for Collins Avenue /Indian Creek between 23rd Street and 44th Streets to be consistent with rates and hours in South Beach, as the intensity in activity in this area has changed to be more similar to South Beach levels. • Increase space rental rates for three of the four space rental categories (no change for film /print space rentals incentives) The City Code provides for a special event space rental fee of $0.25 per square foot. The dimension of a parking space is 187 square feet, equating to $46.75, per space. Therefore, a daily space rental rate of $46.75 is proposed. These increases were projected to generate an additional $2.9 million per year. With the amendment adopted on first reading, the revenue would decrease by $2.2 million to $736,000. • Residential Parking Virtual Visitor Permits are currently $1.00 per day. Products and services that are undervalued are prone to abuses. Increasing the value of virtual visitor permits diminishes opportunities for potential abuse. An increase to $3.00 per day equates to $295,370. The impact of potential increases are summarized below taking into account a 20% elasticity adjustment for on- street parking (i.e. decrease in demand due to price increases) and a 25% elasticity adjustment for space rentals. Additional detail is attached. It is important to note hourly parking meter rate increases would not necessarily be applicable to Miami Beach residents. Currently, Miami Beach residents enjoy a reduced hourly parking meter rate of $1.00, instead of $1.75, in South Beach, through Parkmobile (payment mobile application). This represents a 43% discount. Moreover, Parkmobile waives its user fees for Miami Beach residents. This discounted parking rate and waiver of Parkmobile user fees shall continue for Miami Beach residents. 518 September 30, 2015 City Commission Memorandum Parking Rate Amendments to the City Code — Second Reading Final Public Hearing Page 15 of 17 Current Annual Proposed Revenue (Inc) Parking Meter Hourly Rates: South Beach On- Street Meters South Beach Off- Street Meters Collins Ave /Indian Creek 23rd - 44th Streets - On- Street Meters Collins Ave /Indian Creek 23rd - 44th Streets - Off- Street Meters $1.75 $1.75 $1.00 $1.00 Sub - total: $4.00* $12,799,000.00 $2.00 $678,000.00 $3.00 $1,628,000.00 $2.00 $236,000.00 $15,341,000.00 Parking Meter Hours of Operation: Collins Ave /Indian Creek 23rd - 44th Streets - On /Off - Street Meters 8a -6p 9a -3a $2,331,000.00 Sub- total: $2,331,000.00 Municipal Parking Garages: Each of first four hours: Monthly Rate: $1.00 $ 70.00 $2.00 $100.00 $3,281,000,00 $597,000.00 Sub - total: $3,878,000.00 Parking Spaces Daily Rentals: Valet Parking *: Construction *: Special Event *: $17.00 $10.00 $10.00 Initial 6 Months - $25.00 After 6 Months - $31.50 $25.00 Existing Building Permit Holders will maintain current rate for 6 months $25.00 Existing Special Events Applications will maintain current rate for 6 months.

As described, these increased revenues would be utilized to fund the more immediate transportation initiatives and the bonding capacity for the Parking Enterprise Fund is estimated at $140 million to fund parking garage expansion projects. It is important to note that additional rate increases may be needed in the future to fund other projects, including light rail. If all potential rate increases identified above are implemented, the resulting impacts are shown in the table below prior to addressing the projects identified in the funding needs summary referenced above.
