Dear Honorable Mayor and City Commission:
The Transportation, Parking, and Bicycle-Pedestrian Facilities Committee (TPBPFC) held its
hybrid meeting on Monday, May 13, 2024, and passed the below motion:
Reinstitution of Residential Parking Permit Decals
The Transportation, Parking, and Bicycle-Pedestrian Facilities Committee passed a motion
regarding the City Commission's potential approval of reinstating the use of Residential
Parking Permit Decals.
In a letter addressed to the Commission on February 16, 2024 (ref LTC 062-2024), the
Committee voiced its opposition to this proposal and advocated for the continuation of
the current "Virtual Permits" system, which relies on vehicle identification via tags/license
plate numbers.
The City Commission, should they opt to reintroduce decals in lieu of the current system,
is strongly advised by this body to pursue a comprehensive and streamlined approach. This
entails harnessing technology-driven and automated solutions alongside the proposed
reinstatement of decals to register and authenticate residential parking permits. Such an
initiative aims to streamline the registration process for residents and verification of
current residential parking permits by Parking Enforcement, enhancing overall efficiency
and convenience for all.
As an advisory Committee, we urge the Mayor and City Commission to support this motion.
Sincerely,
Transportation, Parking & Bicycle-Pedestrian Facilities Committee
