ADMINISTRATION RECOMMENDATION: - The Administration recommends that the Commission approve the resolution approving the renewal of the 1837 Bay ,,Road building lease in order to continue operations at this location and provide • necessary space for the expanded enforcement, meter repair and maintenance programs. • • BACKGROUND: • • The Parking Department' s 1993-94 fiscal year budget entails a • substantial expansion of services and programs. These initiatives require additional field personnel and equipment, which in turn generates a demand for additional facility space. The Parking Department operation has been located in the industrial section west of Alton Road between Dade Boulevard and 24th Street for the past ten years. This industrial area of the city is ideal for the type of operation the Department conducts, which involves .vehicles of diverse sizes and the storage of meters, meter and sign poles, and other heavy items. In years past, the two-story, 5, 800 square foot building (1837 Bay Road) provided sufficient room for • a small department administrative staff and approximately 45 operations/maintenance and enforcement employees . The Department' s operations are expanding to include new programs such as cashiered garages, a tram system ' and residential parking programs which require more interior space and additional parking. The field operations and parking enforcement staff will implement several new programs which will necessitate additional office and work station space. These initiatives include the establishment of a sign shop and a centralized radio command center. Given the relocation of the administrative staff (including permit sales and meter rental functions) • to an office building in Meridian Avenue, the Bay Road location will provide' the needed space to accommodate the growing operation. • . Upon expiration of the one year lease in November, 1993 , the building has been rented by the City on a' month-to-month basis. • \Continued. . 1 4 AGENDA R E ITEM DATE 2-- I Cam-9 q.
