WHEREAS, at the May 21, 2025 City Commission meeting, at the request of
Commissioner Alex Fernandez, the City Commission referred an agenda item (C4 W) to
the Finance and Economic Resiliency Committee (FERC), to discuss the suspension of the
annual CPI increase to residential parking rates for the upcoming fiscal year and evaluate the
possibility of a cashless option at all City owned garages; and
WHEREAS, at the July 16, 2025 FERC meeting, the Administration presented the item
and the members unanimously recommended going forward; and
WHEREAS, the proposed Ordinance seeks to adjust all rates for residents registered in
the Resident Parking Discount program to exclude a CPI increase for FY 2026; and
WHEREAS, under the City Code, certain parking fees adjust every five years based on
the Consumer Price Index (CPI), rounded to the nearest dollar; and
WHEREAS, the first such adjustment, scheduled for October 1, 2024, would have

rates from the FY 2026 CPI adjustment and formally add certain Resident Parking Discount
Program fees to Appendix A of the City Code, as detailed in Exhibit A; and
WHEREAS, the Administration has determined that the proposed one-year freeze will
result in an estimated revenue loss of approximately $100,000; and
WHEREAS, while the transition to fully cashless operations is expected to yield $60,000
in cost savings, the projected net fiscal impact remains a $40,000 shortfall.

CQMMISSION MEMORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Commission
FROM: Eric Carpenter, City Manager
DATE: September 17, 2025 9:40 a.m. Second Reading Public Hearing
TITLE: AN ORDINANCE OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, BY AMENDING CHAPTER 1 OF THE CODE OF THE
CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, ENTITLED "GENERAL PROVISIONS," BY AMENDING
SECTION 1-15, ENTITLED "FEE SCHEDULE," BY AMENDING APPENDIX "A"
THEREOF TO: (1) EXCLUDE THE FY 2026 CONSUMER PRICE INDEX (CPI)
ADJUSTMENT ON OCTOBER 1, 2025 FOR ALL MIAMI BEACH RESIDENTS
RATES; AND (2) ADD THE MO(�THLY GARAGE RESIDENTIAL RATES; AND
PROVIDING FOR REPEALER, SEVERABILITY, CODIFICATION, AND AN
EFFECTIVE DATE.
RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends that the Mayor and City Commission (City Commission) hereby
accept the recommendation of the Finance and Economic Resiliency Committee, at its July16,
2025 meeting to exclude the FY 2026 consumer price index (CPI) adjustment on October 1, 2025
for all Miami Beach Residential rates and add the monthly garage residential rates to Appendix A
of the city code by approving the Ordinance at Secc,nd Reading/Public hearing on September 17,
2�25.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
On September 25, 2019, the City Commission adopted Ordinance No. 2019-4299, providing,
among other things, for an annual adjustment by the City Manager to certain specified fees and
charges in Appendix A to the City Code, en".itled "Fee Schedule", to reflect increases in the
Consumer Price Index ("CPI").
At the May 21, 2025 City Commission meeting, at the request of Commissioner Alex Fernandez,
the City Commission referred an agenda item (C4 W) to the Finance and Economic Resiliency
Committee (FERC), to discuss the suspension of the annual CPI increase to residential parking
rates for the upcoming fiscal year and evaluate the possibility of a cashless option at all city owned
garages.
At the July 16, 2025 FERC meeting, the administration presented the item and the
members unanimously recommended going forward.
The proposed Ordinance seeks to adjust all rates for residents registered in the Resident Parki�g
Discount program to exclude a CPI increase for FY 2026.
At the September 3, 2025 City Commission meeting, the City Commission approved the proposed
Ordinance amendment on First Reading and scheduled a Second Reading/Public hearing for the
September 17, 2025 City Commission meeting.
ANALYSIS
485 of 1214
Under the City Code, certain parking fees adjust every five years based on the Consumer Price
Index (CPI), rounded to the nearest dollar. The first such adjustment, scheduled for October 1,
2024, would have increased Resident Parking Discount Program rates from $1 to $2 per hour,
and on-street meter rates in the Entertainment District from $4 to $6 per hour, among other
increases.
in FY 2025, pursuant to Resolution No. 2024-33300, the Mayor and City Commission suspended
these automatic adjustments to reduce the financial burden on residents, workers, and visitors.
Subsequently, Ordinance No. 2024-4657 established annual CPI-based adjustments with a 3%
cap, effective FY 2025, with certain rates rounded to the nearest cent and others to the nearest
dollar.
The proposed Ordinance would exempt Resident Parking Discount Program rates from the FY
2026 CPI adjustment and formally add certain Resident Parking Discount Program fees to
Appendix A of the City Code, as detailed in Exhibit A.
FISCAL IMPACT STATEMENT
The Administration has determined that the proposed one-year freeze will result in an estimated
revenue loss of approximately $100,000. While the transition to fully cashless operations is
expected to yield $60,000 in cost savings, the projected net fiscal impact remains a $40,000
shortfall. Although modest in the context of the overall budget, this shortfall warrants close
monitoring �o ensure the continued finarcial stability of ti-e Parking Department.

COMMITTEE MEMORANDUM
TO: Finance and Economic Resiliency Committee Members
FROM: Eric Carpenter, City Manager
DATE: July 16, 2025
TITLE: DISCUSS THE SUSPENSION OF THE ANNUAL CONSUMER PRICE INDEX
INCREASE TO RESIDENTIAL PARKING RATES AND EVALUATE THE
POSSIBILITY OF A CASHLESS OPTION AT ALL CITY OWNED GARAGES.
RECOMMENDATION
The City Adrr,?nistration ("Administration")recommends that the Finance and Economic Resiliency
Committee ("FERC" or "Committee") proceed with the temporary suspension of the Consumer
Price Index (CPI) increase to residential parking rates for Fiscal Year 2026 and encourages a
shift to fully cashiess payments at all city-owned garages. This move is part of a broader trend
toward digital convenience and operational efficiency.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
On May 21, 2025, at the request of Commissioner Alexander Fernandez, the Mayor and City
Commission ("City Commission") referred Item C4 W to the FERC, to discuss the suspension of
the annual cons.�,ner price index increase to residential parking rates and evaluate the possibility
of a cashless option at all city-owned garages
ANALYSIS
In accordance with the Appendix A of the City Code entitled "Fee Schedule", residential parking
rates are subject to annual adjustments based on changes in the CPI. While these adjustments
support fisc�l sustainability and accounts for inflationary cost increases, the Administration
recognizes the growing financial burden faced by residents amid escalating housing and utility
costs.
To provide targeted relief and maintain public trust, the Administration recommends suspending
the CPI increase for residential parking rates for FY 2026. The projected revenue impact of this
suspension is estimated at approximately $100,000 and can be absorbed within the Parking
DepartmenYs current budget without compromising service delivery or operations.
This proposed action reinforces the City's commitment to affordability. However, we must
preserve the flexibility to reinstate CPI-based increases in future fiscal years based on economic
conditions and the City's needs.
Concurrently, the Administration is assessing the operational, financial, and technological
feasibility of transitioning to a fully cashless payment model at all City-owned parking garages.
This initiative reflects a broader industry trend toward modernized, digital payment systems and
is intended to enhance both customer convenience and operational integrity.
The benefits of a cashless system include faster transaction times and significant reductions in
costs associated with cash collection, handling, and deposit. Additionally, a cashless model aligns
with public expectations for seamless and secure digital services, particularly as contactless and
497 of 1214
mobile payments become the norm across various sectors. The removal of cash options at
garages would represent an annual savings of approximately $60,000.
Additionaily, it is important to note that the FY2026 proposed CPI rate increase is not rounding up
to the nearest dollar. Consequently, the new rates at garages would require change in coins.
While this option is available at our cash pay on foot stations, the equipment that handles coins
needs to be tested and potentially repaired. This would be an additional expense of approximately
$11,000 without including the cost of any parts that need to be replaced. Since the industry
standard is leaning towards cashless/contactless solutions, the coin handling equipment is slated
for end-of-life production in September 2026.
FISCAL IMPACT STATEMENT
The suspension of the annual CPI increase to residential parking rates is estimated to result in a
revenue loss of approximately $100,000.
Meanwhile, implementing a cashless payment system at all City-owned garages is projected to
yield operating cost savings of roughly $60,000 annually.
Additionally, when evaluating future parking equipment purchases, it's important to note that cash-
accepting terminals carry an approximate unit cost of $20,000. Equipping all City garages with
such terminals would represent an ongoing capital expense totaling several hundred thousand
dollars.
